Soulmates are not your ~other half~, that’s just nonsense. You are a whole person already, not half a person. A soulmate isn’t even inherently romantic. A soulmate is just the other sock in a matched set. You’re still a whole, complete sock on your own, you are perfectly functional paired with any other sock, it’s just that it’s even better when you match. A soulmate is literally just the person who makes your soul go “!!! Same hat!!!” and wave excitedly.
“my characters have a mind of their own!” – no i’m not mad and yes i know i made them up but i have no idea what’s happening anymore please save me
“i’m going to write today!” – i’d actually rather wash the garden path but the house is already pristine and i’ve run out of excuses
“this is still a rough draft so go easy on me!” – i have spent what feels like forever pouring my very soul into this but i worry it’s terrible and if you’re mean i may just cry
“i’ll update soon!” – this is utterly killing me, i don’t know how to read anymore, what are words, help
“i just had this idea and had to share it with you guys!” – this has taken me three weeks and countless hours please love and appreciate it
“feedback appreciated :D” – please, i live for validation! i need comments!!
I came out here to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now.
The year is 2042. Your daughter is awkwardly silent as she eats her dinner. “Something wrong sweetie?” She sighs and puts down her fork. “I was digging really deep in AO3 last night…Why didn’t you finish that coffee shop au?” It happened. Your past has come back to haunt you. Nay, it never truly left.
U CANNOT OUTRUN UR CRIME
OKAY BUT WAIT. This has happened to me. Recently. Because I am old and I have things out there from previous fandoms with previous pseuds and one day my teenager begins a rant at me about people never finishing any WIPs on the pit of voles (which he does not call the pit of voles because he has No Knowledge of such a thing but yet he still reads on which I didn’t think anyone did any longer) and he points out an example to me of something I WROTE AND LEFT WIPing for ages and he has NO IDEA #1 that his mom wrote this and #2 How much it still haunts me to this day that it will. sit. there. for. eternity. because I am too lazy to pull it down.
Listen…I adore Neil Gaiman, and this book. I really do. But…I live right near Weeki Wachi. I have driven past that garbage tourist attraction countless times. And I appreciate the sentiment but like…if tourists go there locals literally roll their eyes. And yes, the first time you see the show the mermaids are magical and enchanting. And while they may draw people in…the true magic is the Weeki Wachee spring itself. Because the tourist attraction is only part of it. The spring is fresh water and crystal clear, never above 75 degrees in the worst of the Florida heat. It feeds off into a river and you know what’s in that river? Caves. Caves so deep no one can measure them because no one that’s tried has made it out alive. The two towns that it occupies are both named for that water and no one can ever seem to leave them. They have a sort of magnetism that pulls you back even if you hate them with all your heart, even if you were born 1,000 miles away.
Yes, that’s the principle of American Gods. That people build cheap tourist attractions in the places of real magic, instead of building temples or shrines.

It’s not limited to one fandom, everyone is being effected from Marvel, to Musicians, to WWE, EVERYONE.
Protective Measures:
The best option so far is to delete any photos you posted (POSTED, not reblogged).
Like I mentioned above it was limited to only paparazzi photos but now it seems to be extended to everything that was not posted by the celebrity themselves.
If you’re very attached to your edit, changing the post to “private” may help (but probably not for very long.)
