Me when someone ain’t being cool to my bros.

This is the honey badger, the most fearless animal in nature. It really doesn’t give a shit.

when you ship a ship so hard you don’t even care about the smut; you just want a billion page book about their entire lives beginning to end and how their lives are intertwined with one another’s and how beautiful their love is

I feel like a lot of people really don’t get this, and just assume that all fangirls are in it for the porn. We’re really not. The porn is just a nice fringe benefit.

“
Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.

to this day, I think Azula is probably one of the most interesting villains. Ever.

Honestly, this scene made me feel choked up, because Azula obviously craved her Mother’s love, like Zuko had, but because she was so much more taken under her Father’s ‘wing’ as it were, she became a twisted version of who she would have been.

And this scene. This fucking scene.

Just take a step back and think:

  • Her Mother is a hallucination here.
  • Azula is bitterly saying ‘Even you fear me.’ And back at Ember Island, you learn that, even though she was a tiny terror, she was hurt because her Mother was scared of her.
  • And the one thing that breaks Azula is the fact that a part of her knows exactly what her Mother would say. And she’d tell her she loves her.
  • And she wouldn’t be angry, or disappointed. She’d be sad.

I miss when the Avatar universe was a work of art because of scenes like this.

Amazon will start publishing fanfiction for 'Gossip Girl' and other books with Kindle Worlds

lady-annabeth-crowley:

Despite being a driving source of interest in books, films, or TV shows, fanfiction faces an uncertain reaction from authors. Some have embraced it, others have tacitly accepted it, and a few have…

The fuck!?!

You know, I’m okay with this. I think it gives fanfiction some credit and legitimacy, and honestly, I hope it makes a bunch of money for the CW. Here’s why:

1) The CW produces good content and is one of the most self-aware re: it’s fanbase of any of the major networks. They actually understand what’s going on on the pop-culture side of their shows (mostly), and they should be rewarded for that.

2) It legitimizes fan response/creativity. Too many people see fanfiction and fanworks as childish or even destructive. Particularly when it’s a female form of expression. Fans are painted as unproductive, asocial basement nerds with no lives, when in fact it’s the exact opposite. Fans are a wealth of creativity, have a detailed and passionate knowledge of their source material, are incredibly social with other fans, and live lives filled with the joy of loving something with wild abandon. Hopefully by allowing some mainstream legitimacy, others will come to see that as well.

3) If it makes money, it will encourage a paradigm shift in the way our culture views not just fanfiction, but all fan works. Right now fanfiction is in a incredible legal gray zone. It’s never been tested in court because both sides are nervous about the outcome of such a test. If this works, we could develop a working economic model that side-steps many of the legal issues that everyone is afraid of. This means less fear of copyright infringement and more leeway for derivative creative works. This means more media owners becoming comfortable with fanworks as they realize that it can be MEASURABLY good for them to let fans be and encourage their fanbase (as opposed to the less-measurable, more intangible benefit they receive now of free advertising and evangelist fans that spread the love of their media). More copyright freedom for fanworks is something I feel is desperately needed right now.

So, yeah. Super-exciting possibilities here. I do predict, however, that book authors will be the last to embrace this trend. Of all media, fanfiction is most similar to the work that authors do, so I think many feel that it intrudes too closely and precisely on their own work. BUT, if all other media slowly comes in on this trend, publishers may find themselves giving in rather than being the only ones left out of the potential money-making. (After all, to need only your permission to start making money on other people’s effort? Talk about your financial dream come true for many of these companies.)

If the fanfiction authors weren’t receiving any compensation, I might be a little more skeptical (although I think I might still see it as a net positive). But the fact that they also receive money makes me really stoked to see where this goes! I’m super pumped about this, and I hope you guys are too! Not all change is bad, guys. This could be really amazing.

…doesn’t mean I will.

This scene will forever be incredibly painful to me. Axel, at this point, is probably 100% sure that he will never, ever see Roxas again. The very Roxas who made him feel like he had a heart, and made him experience jealousy and fear and sadness and, whether you see it platonically or romantically, love.This kid somehow embedded himself into Axel’s very being, so much so that Axel defied orders that he knew would cost him his life. He knew that Saix - his former best friend - would have him killed for disobeying orders, and yet Axel did so anyway, just so he could see Roxas again. And let’s not even get me started on how this fight - this fucking fight was Axel’s way of killing them both. In the novels, Axel planned to burn down the mansion with both him and Roxas inside so they died together, rather than get separated/killed by someone else. But Axel couldn’t do it, ‘cause it’s Roxas, ya know? It’s the only person (save for Xion, but he doesn’t remember her) that actually makes him feel something. So he just lets Roxas win, and promises to meet again in the next life. And you can tell by his body movement that he genuinely doesn’t believe that he’ll get a next life. He thinks this is it. He fucked up as Lea, he fucked up at Axel. There’s no more chances.

Except he was wrong. He did get a next life. He died, protecting Sora - protecting ROXAS - but he was given another chance. He was allowed to live again. Only Roxas isn’t there. It’s Roxas who didn’t get the next life. Roxas isn’t waiting for Axel, and so Axel’s all alone. The thing that mattered the most to him, the thing he gave his life for, isn’t there. He’s been given a new chance at life, but the reason he wanted the new life in the first place hasn’t.

This is why I find that scene even more heartbreaking. Because it’s Axel who had the next life. But Roxas wasn’t waiting for him. Axel’s just as lonely as now as he was before.
