Our Fandom Forbearers Did NOT Suffer Through Anne Rice, Strikethrough, And Other Bullshit For Fucking

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

There is no slut shaming in this house, only slut encouragement

Це ніколи не був любовний трикутник, як мені на декілька секунд здалося. Це був відрізок. І точка, яка йому не належить. І ніколи не буде належати. Проблема в тому, що я не спочатку зрозуміла, що це відрізок. Звичайно, у мене були підозри на цю тему, але я не хотіла бачити правди, і бачила тільки те, що вигідно було мені. Тому, я бачила окремі точки, не розуміючи, що вони з'єднані. Я розраховувала стати відрізком з однією з них, але зараз я розумію, що у мене ніколи не було на це права. Так добре скривати, що ви відрізок треба вміти. А вони вміють це на 10 з 10, ну... майже. Вміють скривати добре, але контролювати емоції - ні.

Он смотрел на неё с нескрываемой нежность, с заботой. Всегда слушал, когда она говорила. Смотря на них было видно, что он бы держал ей волосы блюй она в унитаз. Их отношения были пропитаны лёгкостью. От них веяло свободой, но она бы его точно не отпустила, как и он её. Взгляд как у щенка, который увидел хозяина говорил обо всём, что он испытывал. Её запутанность и неуверенность в своих чувствах, делали больно обоим. Так смешно подмечать каждый такой взгляд, каждый выдох пропитанный чувствами, но при этом точно знать, что ты не она. Что твоей улыбке не будут рады, как кот радовался бы вкусной сметане. Что такой взгляд будет адресован ей, но никак не тебе.

Y’all are aware that Neil is fucking scary, right? He’s not just a sunshine boy with an angry boyfriend, he’s just as defensive as Andrew, traumatised, and downright terrifying when he wants to be

3 years ago

Cute andreil facts from Nora’s posts that everybody forgets about

They actually do hold hands

When Robin moves to their dorm (during Neil’s fourth, Andrew’s fifth year) Andrew relinquishes his loft and shares with Neil the entire year

Renee was the first one to catch on Andrew’s attraction to Neil, but Kevin was the first one to catch on Neil’s attraction to Andrew

After Aaron outs Andrew and Neil’s relationship to Betsy (during The King’s Men), Betsy sends Andrew a message that says ‘’I’m happy for you’’

Andrew punches their pro team coach when he makes Neil play despite his injury 

They sit on each other’s laps 

Andrew is usually the big spoon

Andrew isn’t actually the top, they switch (by the time Neil becomes the Foxes’ captain, they are comfortable either way)

They go on dates, mostly long drives to nowhere, but also long walks on the beach or even a table for two

They stock coffee in their house in case one of them wakes up in the middle of the night because of nightmares

They don’t say ‘I love you’ because neither of them have ever heard anyone say these words directly to them, but there are times when Neil could’ve said them: during Aaron’s trial, when Betsy had a heart attack, during Nathan Wesninski’s trial, when they finally got their own apartment, when their team beats Kevin’s, when the US Court wins the gold medal

Their ‘I love you’ is in ‘Stay’, ‘Don’t go’, ‘Welcome home’

Neil likes forehead kisses, and Andrew is definitely tall enough to give them

Their first time was stressful for both of them, not only for Neil (we like to paint Andrew as this very experienced dude, and forget that Neil is actually his first too, which is sad)

Andrew discusses his and Neil’s relationship with Renee

Andrew buys Neil a camera when he noticed how much Neil loved the photos in the lounge

Andrew destroys the hems of every single pair of pants he owns because they are too long

One day they both stop asking

One day Andrew will learn to trust Neil with all of himself

Andrew is better with kids than Neil

When it’s nearly time for Aaron’s trial, Neil asks Betsy to be there for Andrew and says that he needs a mother right now

Neil practises picking locks, so he handcuffs himself to a bed

when Andrew finds him, he makes fun of his miserable attempts and leaves him handcuffed to the bed, stating that he did it to himself and now has to deal with the consequences 

The next day Neil handcuffs himself to Andrew, so he won’t leave him again

*So obvioulsy the statement ‘’everybody forgets about’’ is false, but I wanted to write down all of my favourites (even though I’ve probably forgotten about at least half of them)

This post also exists for writers who need some fanfic ideas, etc.

If you feel like adding anything I didn’t include, please go ahead, let this post be even longer it already is

andrew acts as like a mentor/guide npc for neil lmao. neil asks him what's up with matt, andrew tells him to ask matt himself, neil does, he gets the columbia story. neil asks andrew why he isn't with renee, andrew tells him to go ask renee, neil does, he finds out andrew is gay. this bitch is sending him on side quests

Mine by elizajostenminyard (orphan_account) [Rated E, 6106 Words, Complete, 2018]

Andrew knows that this person is just an opposing Exy player. He knows that Neil doesn’t swing. And most importantly, he knows that jealousy is a pointless feeling.

But he's feeling a whole lot tonight. Andrew can’t place what has changed, what has warranted such explosions of shunned emotions.

alvarez91: guys have you seen the new article about jean

alvarez91: i want you to imagine the most 'no homo' statement ever by a student athlete. and then i want you to imagine there's a two page spread written in that style.

A Little Bit of Magic Goes A Long Way series by EmeraldWaves, Ominous [Rated T, Collection, 3 Complete Works, Updated May 2020]

Part 1: A Hint of Something Magical [4059 Words]

Being with the Trojans is a very different experience for Jean. They're happy and friendly, everything Jean believes he's not.

He soon learns that even someone as bright as Jeremy Knox has a deep, unexpected obsession.

Part 2; if magic exists, you're the closest thing [16211 Words]

The concept of love is not one Andrew understands.

For a long time, it escaped him. It's always fuzzy, always distorted. He'd given up on it long ago, so why is he still chasing answers?

Whatever the reason, he's content to blame Jean Moreau for a lot of things, Katelyn too.

It's their fault he's here, at the happiest place on earth.

tw: implied/referenced abuse

Part 3: The Essence of His Magic [6184 Words]

Jean isn't looking forward to seeing Neil or Andrew again. He doesn't need the reminder of his past, not when he's trying to accept he can be happy. Despite his mind fighting against him, he really is trying; for his sake and the sake of the Trojans.

However, Jeremy is so excited to take them all to DIsneyland, and who is Jean to deny Jeremy a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth?

tw: panic attacks, tw: dissociation, tw: implied/referenced abuse
