Lyrics (to the tune of Gotye's "Somebody that I Used to Know"):
Now and then I think of when I first found fandom
and how I shipped so hard I thought I could die.
Someone invited me to Ao3
where i could read about my OTPs.
Now there's twenty tabs of fics open in my browser.
You can get addicted to reading one more chapter;
starting longer fics at three am.
Put on a podfic while you're baking bread,
daydreaming 'bout the works you want to pen:
Create - Consume is a cycle that's unending.
Sometimes I think I've had enough
of seeing how they make or break love and have all or nothing,
but then I find some brand new tropes
or an ot3 that cherishes my cinnamon roll.
I subscribe, comment, leave kudos
and eventually I've reached the end of all the fics fans posted.
I started this so long ago,
my bookmarks are the stories that I used to know.
My bookmarks are just stories that I used to know.
My bookmarks are the stories that I used to know.
Now and then I think of all the fanon bits I love most.
They have me believing it was always something in canon.
And I choose to live this way,
reading every single AU -- cafe
Hanahaki's / modern / A/B/O
they were roommates / high school / twitter fic / or soulmates -- I don't say no!
Sometimes I think I've had enough
of seeing how they make or break love and have all or nothing,
but then I find some brand new tropes
or an ot3 that cherishes my cinnamon roll.
I subscribe, comment, leave kudos
and eventually I've reached the end of all the fics fans posted.
I started this so long ago,
my bookmarks are the stories that I used to know.
My bookmarks are just stories that I used to know.
My bookmarks are the stories that I used to know.
