oooh
If evil can love, then what is evil if you know love is what makes you human? And then, is someone who is evil still human?

Book pins by janemount on Etsy
You guys, Jane Mount is awesome. She and her husband lived in Berlin at the same time we did and we found each other through a mutual friend although never got to hang out because I left sooner than expected.
ANYWAYS. She does these adorable pins, but will also do custom prints of your ideal bookshelf. I am planning on having her paint one for me with all the books I read while in Berlin.
attn jennywilbury your whole rereading list is here!!! ;)

To celebrate the Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day on August 21st, and following this post, here’s what you can do to show your favorite fanfiction writers how grateful you are for their work!
Whether you are just a reader or a writer as well, on August 21st:
- Go on AO3, FF.net, Wattpad or any other fanfiction website, even Tumblr, and leave comments on your favorite fics. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already reviewed them, just do it again. It doesn’t even have to be a long comment, just show your appreciation. Tell the writers how much you love their fics. Let them know what they mean to you.
- Since you’re there, give kudos, favorite their fics, vote, like them.
- Send your favorite writers an encouraging message. Tell them how much you love their work. Tell them which of their fics is your favorite and why. Tell them why they’re important to you.
- Make a post recommending some of your favorite fics to your followers so that they have a chance to read them as well and share them with others. Spread the word.
Make this a very special day for your favorite writers, but remember to nurture them often. They spend countless hours working on plots, developing characters and creating worlds that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them. And they do it for free, of their own accord and frequently during their free time. It takes hard work and commitment and love for what they’re doing. And they do it for them just as much as they do it for you, so appreciate it.
They give you infinite ways in which your favorite characters find love, go on adventures and get to experience different lives, new challenges. They give you unimaginable versions of your favorite stories that you’ll just never get to see in the official storyline. They give you the opportunity to fall in love with your favorite characters all over again. Be grateful for that and don’t be afraid to express it.
Show your favorite writers how much you appreciate them and you might just make their day. And a writer who knows that their work is loved is a happy writer. Never forget that. Always share your love :)

And of course the first thing this makes me think of is the “you were just a twinkle in your [parent]’s eye” idiom. Kindly excuse me while I sit under my rock and continue to make my Doctor + River + 24 years = Bill headcanons until broadcast when Moffat inevitably crushes my Time Tot dreams, thank you very much.
