There are not enough capslocks and exclamation points in all the world to describe how I feel about this thread. This is the song of my heart, this is the burning flame at the core of me. Because fanfic is important and SERIOUS. (small reaction thread) People spend vast, vast amounts of time and energy on fanfic, they pour their whole heart into fanfic. That is beautiful, that is WORTHY. That deserves to be respected and taken seriously as Art, as LITERATURE.

Ur local former mythology major stepping in to talk about five very important and telling words in this tweet: "as it used to be".

A THREAD, featuring: Dreamtime, nostalgia, millennials killing various industries, and Narnia. There's this term in mythology studies, "dreamtime" (sometimes called "strongtime"). Dreamtime is the chronological era in which stories take place: "once upon a time" or "long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away" or "a very long time ago and half the world away"
