Soooooo Pretty

sometimes you gotta reread your own fic and cry and go a little crazy

This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together

this is so true 🙈

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

Meow

"Ao3 should allow multiple kudos" "I want to be able to leave more than one kudos"

COMMENT ON THE FUCKING FIC

I SWEAR TO GOD NO ONE COMMENTS MUCH NOW WHEN THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR A SINGLE CHAPTER IS COMMENTING AND I AM NOT HAVING THIS BULLSHIT BE LIKE TIKTOK WHERE NO ONE EVER COMMENTS POSITIVITY

FOR FUCKS SAKE JUST COMMENT ON THE FUCKING FIC YOU DON'T NEED A MULTIPLE KUDOS BUTTON YOU NEED ACTUAL WORDS

TRUST ME ON ANY WEBSITE OR APP I POST COMMENTS AND WORDS ARE 10X BETTER THAN ANY PLAIN LIKE AND WORDLESS REBLOG IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING LEAVE WORDS

ON

THE

FUCKING

FICS

Toi & moi by Zaho & Mok Saib [lyrics and full english translation]

In many of the lyrics you can find on the internet, the arabic part of this song is translated as literal gibberish or erased. I was so outraged that i translated it myself ('cause i wanted to know what it said too). Please don't hesitate to correct me, although i guess nobody is gonna see this, but now i know it's out there at least.

why am i doing this i am nothing more than a poor fanfic author lol the audacity to tranlsate from arab without knowing the lenguage too. anyway.

Toi & Moi

You and me

VERSE

Raconte-moi, c'est vrai ou pas?

Tell me, is it true or not?

Notre histoire est finie, bébé, à cause de moi

Our story is over, baby, because of me

J'suis resté ici, ne m'en veux pas

I stayed here, don't blame me

J'ai du mal à accepter vu qu'j'serai loin de toi

I can't take it* since I'll be away from you

Note: [I find it hard to accept] since I'll be away from you

T'es rentrée dans ma vie, ouh-ouh

You came into my life, whoo-hoo

T'as comblé le vide, yeah

You filled the void, yeah

Tu m'as fait que rêver, nan

You only made me dream, nah

Bébé والفتك c'est vrai

Baby you're lethal, it's true

PRE-CHORUS

Ah ouais, ah ouais

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Ma belle, j'voulais juste prendre ta main et m'envoler

My love*, I just wanted to take your hand and fly away

Note: (it says "ma belle", which would mean "my beautiful").

T'as oublié

You forgot

Que j't'ai jamais abandonnée et tu le sais

That I never left you and you know it

CHORUS

عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟

My life, why are we doing this?

كنا بيخير، العدو اللي جا بيناتنا

We were fine, an enemy came between us

ما زال l’amour معاك نتي، c’est pas fini

Still, (my) love is with you, it's not over

Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là

For you and I, we’re getting out of here

عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟

My life, why are we doing this?

كنا بيخير، العدو اللي جا بيناتنا

We were fine, an enemy came between us

ما زال l’amour معاك نتي، c’est pas fini

Still, (my) love is with you, it's not over

Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là

For you and I, we’re getting out of here

VERSE

Est-ce que c'est vrai tout c'qu'on m'a dit?

Is it true what I've heard?

À c'qu'il paraît, tu aurais même refait ta vie

They say you've even remade your life

Dis-moi qu'c'est faux, qu'j'me fais des films

Tell me it's not true, I'm raving

On était beaux mais ils nous ont jetés la عين

We were beautiful but they threw us the evil eye*

Note: the evil eye, عَيْن‎ (ʕayn) often signifies what is regarded as the injurious and damaging supernatural effects of jealousy and envy.

À l'amour, à la vie, ha-yah

To love, to life, ha-yah

On s'était promis, ha-yah

We promised each other, ha-yah

J'ai le cœur déchiré, haya-yah

I'm heartbroken, haya-yah

Ai qu'mes yeux pour pleurer, ha-yah

I can only cry now*, ha-ya

Notes: [I've only got my eyes to cry with], ha-yah

PRE-CHORUS

Ah ouais, ah ouais

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Ma belle, j'voulais juste prendre ta main et m'envoler

My love*, I just wanted to take your hand and fly away

T'as oublié

You forgot

Que j't'ai jamais abandonnée et tu le sais

That I never left you and you know it

CHORUS

عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟

My life, why are we doing this?

كنا بيخير، العدو اللي جا بيناتنا

We were fine, an enemy came between us

ما زال l’amour معاك نتي، c’est pas fini

Still, (my) love is with you, it's not over

Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là

For you and I, we’re getting out of here

عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟

My life, why are we doing this?

كنا بيخير، العدو اللي جا بيناتنا

We were fine, (until) an enemy came between us

ما زال l’amour معاك نتي، c’est pas fini

Still, (my) love is with you, it's not over

Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là

For you and I, we’re getting out of here

OUTRO

ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون

Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt*

Note: مغبون can mean aggrieved, sad, sick, tired, pained.

ولي ليا، ولي ليا، ما جاني نوم

Oh my God, oh my God, I didn't get any sleep

ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون

Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt

Que toi et moi, on s'barre de là

You and I, we’re getting out of here

Notes: "Que toi et moi" literally means "that you and I". The "que" can mean many things depending on context, so it's translated differently on the outro.

ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون

Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt

ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون

Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt

Que toi et moi, on s'barre de là...

You and I, we’re getting out of here...

this is the song

(the acoustic is better, just sayin)

not an author’s note but it made me stop scrolling and laugh so hard I cried

i wish i was part of the first group

only sort of related to the wip meme that's going around, i'm curious, now: how do you, personally, organise your wips?

this does not feel like a poll kind of situation—it's a 'just reply or reblog and add to the body of the post' kind of deal. please feel free; i'm genuinely curious.

i thought i imagined dead doves suddenly being posted mostly anon, but now i guess this new wave of fanfic authors thinks their boss is going to magically find they are "babygirlgoku" on ao3 or sth

also, dead doves are art, dont like dont read, etc 🧏

"you don't post your dead dove fics on anon?" no, all of my dead dove, dirty, disgusting gay smut are posted on my main. I have no shame. normalize a girl being a pervert and a sex-crazed freak
