people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING
be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.
I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar
I would LOVE to see your take on Eddie fluff!! I feel like the whole time he was on screen I just wanted to give him a big hug and I would love to see how you would depict Eddie in gentle moments- whether it’s aftercare, comfort after angst, or just sickly sweet fluffy moments I’d love to read it! <3

I’ve got a lot of Eddie fluff! If you see anything on my masterlist with this marker ‘ꕥ’ by it, it’s got fluff. The following are almost all exclusively fluff, plus one or two with a little spice. But a lot of my fics have fluff in addition to other stuff, like smut or angst.
Eddie’s List (pure fluff)
The Princess and the Guttersnipe (fluff with a little bit of spice)
Go Fish (hurt/comfort/fluff)
Doodling on Eddie drabble (pure fluff)
Eddie would willingly get beat up for you (fluffff)
Eddie the Nay Sayer™️ (simpy Eddie fluff)
Eddie and pregnancy (silly fluff)
Clingy!Eddie (weird!Eddie fluff)
Eddie being the worst best dad (tooth rotting fluff bc it’s dad!Eddie)
Delusional!Eddie (Eddie being down bad)
The Sassy Man Apocalypse (Eddie beefing with your stuffed animal—you’ve created a diva)
Eddie with the zoomies (silly goofy fluff)
Touchy!Eddie (boyfriend!Eddie fluff)

It’s a fluffy Sunday
Fuck you if you’ve played a video game
The lion is concerned. The lion is honestly really fucking worried.
fanfiction is a rare gem and a solid, living proof that, in a world of tiktok, influencers and content posting, not everything is about money and going viral. art can still be art just for the sake of the artists’ pure love, joy and passion for the art they create. fanfic writers write 100k words and more about the characters they love for free. just because they love these characters and the art of writing so much. art is not dead and the world is still beautiful.
