You have to be willing to sit through horrible albums sometimes to look for new music and you might find it impossible but it’s what makes life worth living to me. it takes the discipline of a warrior to be a true music lover not everyone can survive it
No means No, even if it’s a big name author with tons of lawyers behind them. When they say “please don’t show me fan fic,” that’s enough, and, if they give more detail about why, you don’t get to judge whether you think they’re telling the truth or not
To clarify: I saw a post where someone said they didn’t believe that Big Name Authors were genuinely afraid of being sued, but that instead they were just snobs who hated fanfic and thought saying “oh no I could get sued” was more polite than sharing their true feelings
Another author shared a detailed, eloquent explanation of what a bad take that was, and all of the points were 100% valid

Authors who hate fanfic are not afraid to say so.
Authors who love fanfic are not afraid to say so.

The first time I encountered the Light Dragon, I immediately thought of this scene. I don’t know the venn diagram of OTGW and TOTK fans, but it needed to be drawn all the same!
In case anyone actually cares about this issue, some good news: 227 migrants were rescued off the Canary Islands and 294 migrants were rescued off the coast of Italy yesterday/today.
Everyone will have forgotten the “sorry we XYZ your boyfriend” meme by the time I think of a good one
Sorry we completely forgot about your boyfriend. Yeah he was deemed obsolete in internet-time by the time we remembered he was with us. Yeah now he’s gonna be deemed cringe by younger people- yeah because. Because hes a dead meme now I’m so sorry
