We all know Ed loves kids but what if he had to look after a kid that’s p much like him when he was younger? Someone temperamental yet smart and ambitious and very hard to keep a leash on? I feel like he’d either end up arguing with said kid 24/7 or be especially cautious to make sure they don’t make the same mistakes he did. Or both. Jesus. Poor kid wouldn’t even know if he hates them or not. One moment they’re both yelling and the other he’s teaching them life lessons.

I could most certainly see that happening. I think he’d most likely be a good mix of both of those things you just mentioned 😀 It’s how Ed works.

Fic authors deserve more credit.

Story time: I started reading a book about 23 hours ago and just finished it. Also in that time, I slept for 10 hours, spent time with family, was at work, etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the book (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda,) but it felt like it flew by. So after I finished I looked up the word count because what are pages? Pages are meaningless. I only function in word counts anymore.

The estimate I found was 58,580. My immediate reaction was “oh, that’s why. That’s nothing!” But what a shitty response. Because no. That’s not nothing. That’s a whole. Damn. Book. An entire novel! And fic authors regularly bust out 30k, 50k, 100k, 150k words. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE. WHILE WORKING AND LIVING THEIR LIVES.

So anyway, thank your favorite fic author today because they deserve it. Because they’re amazing. They’re the MVPs.
