silver-tongues-blog asked: I find it amusing that You compared rather time to a lifeless machine considering who goes him in universe.
Well Father Time is kind of…technically..actually..a machine. not saying it in a way his voice actor said to his own son but Father Time LITERALLY has no heart or organs or any of that, just gears and wires and metal things
you know
kinda like a robot
I think android would be the proper term

It honestly blows my mind when I see adult writers and journalists talking about how fanfiction is “ruining fiction” because “kids are investing all their time and talent into something that doesn’t matter instead of applying their skills to creating something original that they could actually make money off of.”
Like, imagine if people had that attitude toward other things - it’d be completely ridiculous:
“I can’t believe my sixth grader would rather use the basketball hoop to play Knockout instead of organizing competitive games and striving to join the NBA. What a lazy, unmotivated kid.”
“YouTube videos? Just making free videos on the internet for anyone to see whenever they want? Why don’t you just produce a movie? A whole fucking movie. You’re in high school, you can figure it out.”
“Are you really so uncreative that the only songs you can play on the piano are ones other people wrote? The only real piano players are the ones who write their own music, I’m just saying. People like you are the reason originality is dead.”
SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO THINGS BECAUSE THEY’RE FUN! MAKING THINGS AND SHARING THEM WITH OTHER PEOPLE IS FUCKING FUN! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MAKING MONEY!!!
Also writing fan fiction is great practice for writing original stories, plots, editing, time management, grammar, sentence structure, etc. so don’t hate those who are practicing something.
Dante’s Inferno is self-insert Bible fanfiction. Most Renaissance and Medieval art that isn’t portraiture is Bible fanart. Lord of the Flies is a dark, AU fanfic of a previous book that had a bunch of English boys getting stranded on an island where everything turned out just hunky dory. Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar is fanfiction. Lancelot and Guinevere are French fanfiction additions to the King Arthur myth.
90% of all Disney movies ever made are fanfiction. In Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid? The little mermaid DIES. In Beauty and the Beast, Beauty has two sisters, and her father is a merchant, not an inventor. The villagers never storm the castle. The Disney movies are reinterpretations of pre-existing stories aka fanfiction. Is anyone shitting on Disney for writing ‘fanfiction’?
BBC’s Sherlock is modernAU fanfiction. Elementary is modernAU always-a-girl!John fanfiction. BBC’s Merlin is fanfiction.
Age of Ultron is fanfiction.
Fanfiction is natural and has happened since the dawn of time. Stop looking down on people (and I gotta say, a lot of the people writing fanfic that I know are female) who write fanfiction for fun and their own enjoyment.
I have read fanfiction better than actual booms. I have seen fanfiction better than the movies. Like stupid Mario brother is way better than many Mario games and infinitely better than the movie or show.

The year Hogwarts reopens
- The Great Hall is quiet when the first years come in. They are watched by everyone else, but even the young ones can see gaps in the tables, and they knew it was from the students who would never come back.
- The hat does not just sing about the houses this year. It tells a tale of the Hufflepuffs who lay down their lives, smart Ravenclaws who used every trick they knew, cunning Slytherins who protected the young from a war and brave Gryffindors who fought alongside them all.
- One by one the first years were sorted, and they slowly filled the gaps in the table.
- The headteacher stands, and before they eat, she reminds them all that houses only show your traits, not who you will turn out to be. And then she tells them that rules are changing. Houses are allowed - and should- mix during meals.
- Nothing happens at first. But then a few stand up, mostly siblings, and they change tables. At first there is a strange silence but slowly the room relaxes and new friendships start to grow.
- By the end of the first week, most people sit at different tables every meal.
- By the end of the first term, the four tables are no longer separate. They are now pushed together into a giant square, so students can sit all together.
- The teachers watch on, shocked it worked so well, but also pleased, because no child will ever be alone or feel out of place, and the friendships between houses finally looks the way the four founders always wanted it to be.
Every time I see this I just bow down and then curl into a little ball and hug something soft.
I am proud of making you have this reaction
Just dont imagine some first years wondering why there are so many ghosts of children.
