The Fandom: "Connor is just an innocent dorky cinnamon roll who needs a hug!"

Literally Connor:

i can’t think about ferb or i get emotional about how phineas always makes sure to include him and even though they don’t talk so much the rest of the gang clearly enjoys his company and like. he’s a valued member of any group he’s in despite having a quieter presence. he has a flat affect but he isn’t made out to be emotionless. not even a little! he very much has a personality.

no one ever pushes him to talk more than he’s comfortable with. are there jokes about his quietness? sure. but they’re never mean. even in the group musical numbers! the kids perform a song together, but ferb doesn’t have to sing even when everyone else does, but he’s still there dancing / playing instruments with the rest of them. he’s included!!!

a lot of his lines are to share some fact that he thinks is interesting. he’s a genius. he’s a silly kid. he’s musically gifted. he wants to direct movies. he hates being interrupted.

basically ferb fletcher rocks

Give it up for the people just realizing they're queer right now, actually. This is a really scary time to be queer, i imagine even scarier to be coming to terms with your identity and/or trying to figure yourself out. You're doing amazing and i think you're super super brave.

you guys don't have to give gavin some sad backstory that explains his crude behavior just to justify why you like him, i like gavin because he's a fucking bitch and he's sexy and there's nothing wrong with that

sleepy but i do NOT want to trigger work event tomorrow ❌nooooooo

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

generative AI literally makes me feel like a boomer. people start talking about how it can be good to help you brainstorm ideas and i’m like oh you’re letting a computer do the hard work and thinking for you???

sorry but reddit ‘leftists’ are so pathetic. nearly every comment section on every subreddit is just doomer crap, basically telling people there’s nothing they can do except move countries while simultaneously not recognizing that the same groups they claim to care about absolutely do not have options to just pack up and leave overnight. like there are people here that need your help and if you’re actually as helpful/caring/humanitarian as you claim, then you should be providing resources and information on how to help marginalized communities instead of wallowing in your own misery and trying to force everyone to feel the same.

fascist regimes want you to feel helpless so that you stay immobile. even if you can’t transform the government overnight, you can help spread accurate information and volunteer locally to support marginalized groups. that stuff is not ‘small’, it changes people’s lives. it matters.
