requests are open

ok so I was thinking of doing art donaldson headcannons to start writing for challengers but idk what they would be about so I’m gonna poll some ideas

OR

someone can send me a request for specific headcannons for art or anything challengers related thoughts n stuff

as an art girlie.. nobody talks about how hot patrick looks in the blue shirt at the adidas party. or earlier when they were watching tashis match(can u tell I like him in those shorts). or even him at stanford in the white shirt and blue jeans.

like I still prefer art but not enough ppl talk about how hot he was in those fits. also the fact that he was never offended by art liking tashi.. he’s so gay it hurts.

some people don’t seem to understand just how real tashi is—how human she is. she could be the girl from your hometown who made it out, or the classmate you once pulled an all-nighter with for a group project. she isn’t just headlines, whispers, or the fragmented memories people project onto her.

yes, she loves tennis, but she isn’t just tennis. and art—he’s a gateway to that world, but love isn’t a passive thing. love takes work. tashi pours herself into him, into them, in a way that anyone who’s ever truly loved should recognize. and yet, somehow, that effort gets twisted into the idea that she’s just using him for the sport? that she’s only in it for what he can give her? i don’t know—maybe it’s easier for people to reduce her to something simple rather than accept that she’s complicated, that she’s layered, that she’s alive.

and really, if pat and art can be messy, selfish, driven, weak, strong—if they can be everything at once—why can’t tashi? think about it. that knee-jerk reaction to hate her, to strip her down to the worst possible version of herself, what does that say? would she still be this reviled if she had been written differently? or is it 2025 and you just can’t stand to see a woman of color give and be loved in mainstream media?

just yapping but I hate mischaracterization for tashi duncan…

it’s genuinely such a pet peeve of mine when people write her to be this big, egotistical, mean bully of a woman. especially when interacting with another woman/ x reader bc we only really saw tashi act that way with the boys(and her racist opponent ig).

there are plenty of scenes in the movie that show tashi’s vulnerability and insecurity and her gentleness/empathy, especially when talking with women or loved ones. tashi duncan is not this evil home-wrecker between a beautiful male homoerotic friendship. it’s an old, tired and overplayed story that ppl love to use to as an excuse to hate on women/female characters.

art and patrick may have loved eachother but they’re relationship wasn’t perfect. art was too insecure and patrick was too ignorant that they would eventually have had a falling out imo.

tashi was by far a perfect person who made good decisions. she could be unkind when she wanted like any character. but she isn’t this antagonist that everyone wants to be the ‘bad guy’. ITS HER MOVIE!!

her complexity it what makes her a perfect main character and so well written!!

Best Friend - based on @diyasgarden's betting on loosing dogs cats and her cat headcanons. definitely go check them out if you haven't yet!!

the story of tashi and her childhood best friend (1.86k words)

tw: i have not seen the movie so all my knowledge is via osmosis. writing some of these scenes was cathartic. enjoy me working through my own grief and know my tears wet the keyboard. i may have forgotten about art a little bit but this is tashi centric so im just going to say whoops and move on

Anonymous asked:

hii kat!! was wondering if you could write something with bsf!james comforting f!reader who is on her period? i'm on mine right now and it'd be nice to read something like that :')

if you don't want to, you can just skip this request!!

tysm for requesting love! sry for the wait <33

a/n: I just realized this requested for bsf!james and I wrote bf!james. i’m sorry y’all I love bsf!james I swear!!

laying in bed with an ice pack on your head, a heating pad on your stomach and the lights turned off wasn’t your ideal way to spend your saturday.

however, it was made better whenever a certain bespectacled boy enters your dorm with snacks and tea to sooth your stomach and relieve your headache. you can’t help but to to feel a little guilty.

TEMPORARILY CHANGED THEME UNTIL I DECIDE WHAT TO DO IK IT WASNT WHAT WAS VOTED FOR

in another life I was born a nepo baby with a parent who was a celebrity but not in an easily recognizable way to where I can still live life in a gorgeous beautiful mansion and only pursue a career i’m passionate about because what else is there to life?

psa from my last post: I made my current theme with the idea that I was mostly going to be writing about marauders/harry potter fanfiction and so the theme reflects that. it’s very dark academia coded and why I love hp and don’t plan to necessarily never write for it again, I do have other interests and I feel like my theme rn doesn’t reflect them

I would love to write for challengers(if u can’t tell by my recent reposts) and other fandoms!!
