I’m not gonna say I was looking for something else entirely because I was in fact trying to find a gif of Chris Evans when I came across this, but this is not what I was looking for. And yet it is possibly the best thing I’ve ever found.
What the hell even is Chris Evans. What the hell.

Watching the tags pile up on this post gives me faith in humanity. It’s like being wrapped in a warm autumn blanket in front of a toasty fire with wholesome friends.
Y’all creepy motherfuckers who tracked down the author of My Immortal down had better at least buy her books. Y’all owe her that much after hunting her down as if her life is a game to you.
And holy shit, there’s going to be a memoir about the author’s time in the foster system, searching for her little brother, and how My Immortal played a part in that: Under the Same Stars. Do y’all know how much guts it takes to talk about the stuff she’s putting in that memoir? How much she has to care about getting this issue – how kids are treated in the foster system, especially Native kids – out in front of people?
She’s Plains Cree and Lenni Lanape and an activist, she digs Lacuna Coil (same), she started writing seriously because she wanted to give her gay best friend non-tragic stories about people like him, she was going to be a physicist before she decided to look for more direct ways to help her community.
Her Gives Light series is a queer m/m YA novel series that’s not tragic? And takes place on a Shoshone reservation?
Y’all, she sounds incredible, and we should support her. She sounds like everything Tumblr tries to support and love. We need to show up for her.
I laughed my ass off about My Immortal many, many times, and have wondered who wrote it, what became of them. It turns out the answer is … pretty damn awesome?
I meeeaaaaan……. some of this is valid and reasonable. Some of it’s tropes you probably should actually look at critically if you’re going to use them. Some of it can be interesting worldbuilding, if you want to make a thing of it. But if it’s not actually relevant to the story or characters, a lot of this isn’t fucking NECESSARY and I’m never going to care, as a reader – by the time you’re fussing about who domesticated WHEAT, for fuck’s sake……
Idk, dude, maybe read another genre? I’m getting the feeling epic fantasy is maybe not your thing.
I love worldbuilding and will write endless unimportant details no one but me is ever going to see, but at the end of the day I am writing a fucking story, not a fantasy almanac and encyclopedia.
Babe, I love you, but you are literally the person who has spent several weeks figuring out realistic weather patterns for your fantasy world.
Like i am not arguing your point bc it’s a very good point that tbqh i agree with, but i’m just losing my shit because you are exactly the kind of person who thinks about shit like who domesticated wheat in your own fantasy novels.
Okay first of all the weather actually does matter a lot shut up.
But also there’s a big fucking difference between caring about large scale things like climate and geography and politics, and acting like it’s a failing on an author’s part that they didn’t bother to explain shit like the origins of agriculture in the world they created.
NO NO I AGREE, there is a large difference, and he needs to get over himself, but like. You could just make up weather. Like, to most people, the weather realism is as unimportant as the origins of agriculture.
