Ursula K Le Guin AND Carrie Fisher were both born on this day (1929 and 1956, respectively), so that makes it some kind of holiday, right? Write. Stick it to the patriarchy. Take your meds. Go for that audition/job/thing you want. Read.
#friend of mine pointed out that today carrie fisher would’ve been 69 and ursula k. le guin would’ve been 96#<-prev prev tag

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.
they’re sharing
it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.
it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people
but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.
Well HE seems nice.
be sooo careful when listening to music. songs can happen to you
Mammu! Finius and Ferbingetorix built Rome in a day!
I feel like this also implies that rome is somehow being destroyed by the end of the day
The Emperor Constantine loves Finius and Ferbingetorix’s “New Rome” so much that he makes it his new capital and names it after himself.
Yeah that checks out.
What’s the doofenschmirtz contraption/scheme of the day?
Doofenric the Ostrogoth (insert jokes about his daughter Vanessa being “Goth” but in the modern sense) invented a City-Mover-Inator to move Rome across the Danube so his Germanic confederation could sack it.
Thankfully, Agent Pericles stops him by redirecting the Inator to Finius and Ferbingetorix’s New Rome instead, moving it to the Bosphorus.
While Pericles and Doofenric are fighting over the controls of the Inator, it gets accidentally changed to paint remover mode and then fired at a random direction.
Somewhere nearby a painter just finished coloring the statue of the emperor when suddenly all the paint gets removed.
Painter: Aw…
Painter, giving it a second look: Hmmm… 🤔
Candysseia: What animal even is Pericles?
Finius: We named it “platypus”, meaning flat-foot.
Ferbingetorix: On account of his feet being flat.
Candysseia: And where did he come from?
Febingetorix: We have no earthly idea.
Doofenric the Goth: Pericles the- wait, what animal even are you, Agent Pericles?
Pericles: *hands him papyrus*
Doofenric: *reading* A “platypus”, meaning flat-foot… oh, on account of your feet being flat!
[post-credits scene]
Doofenric: Wait, you know a platypus named Pericles, too? Is every platypus named Pericles?
Ferbingetorix: As far as we know, yes.

you miss 100% of the shots you dont take
y’all ever read a fanfic that you cannot believe an author just wrote for free?? what an honor it is to read a piece of someone’s soul they shared out of nothing but love for a piece of media. what a privilege it is to be allowed their talent because you share an interest!!
please, untitled document was my father, call me untitled document (1)
Day 4: Nostalgia ☘️
the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit
ya got
chili crisp fettuccine alfredo
any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you’ve got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.
