today in small fallen london details i love: the "foregoat" (like a foreman but he's a goat) who works at a warehouse of Hell apparently takes sandwich breaks

Well, you know, some bathroom graffiti offers insight.
Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:
“Boss made a dollar
Granddad made a dime
But that was a poem
From a simpler time.
Boss made a thousand
Gave pa a cent
But that penny paid the mortgage
Or at least it paid the rent
Now Boss makes a million
And gives us jack
Smugly blames the workers
For the labor that he lacks.”
And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.
in general i would say that “it’s not fun if they’re totally unrecognisable” is my fandom thesis. like the point of fanfic etc is putting your favourite little guys in situations. where’s the appeal if they’ve been through so many fanon spin cycles that they’re barely even your guys anymore
loads of people are reblogging this like “this is why i don’t like AUs” and honestly this is not an anti AU post by any stretch of the imagination. if you think “alternate universe fic” = “completely unrecognisable characters” then love and light but you need to read some better AUs!! putting your little guys in a completely different setting or time period or making them baristas or racing drivers or pop stars or whatever doesn’t inherently render them unrecognisable and in fact the APPEAL of a well done AU fic is seeing how your favourite guys deal with a completely different set of circumstances. support your local wacky AU today x
