Fanfiction doesn’t exist to be “good” it exists because something went horribly wrong with you while you were watching a tv show and you’re gripped by madness

idk how to explain this to you, person whose bad take I just unwillingly read, but when you're playing for a huge crowd that is not there to see you in particular, deep cuts are not the way

The athletes calling for a better America — or even saying they represent the best aims of America — are more truly patriotic than JD Vance could ever claim to be.

Relatedly, I was watching Billie Joe sub Stephen Miller's name into Holiday the other day and YouTube helpfully gave me a 2020/2021 video (not sure which, but early pandemic era when there were no people at the games) of Green Day performing for the NFL and they did Holiday

Going through a lot of bandfic recs, noticing all the genderswap, and thinking, you know, there should really be a sort of subgenre where the guy wakes up genderswapped and with his period. Because periods are hateful enough to do that to you.
