And when it is your family being killed and the world stops caring the second it becomes inconvenient, I will still take your grief seriously and fight for what’s right because that is what it means to be Palestinian
once you realize its all saying the same thing. water spins generators in dams, car engines spin to make wheels spin, the earth spins in a circle and then spins around the sun which spins around the galaxy once you grasp that its all about spinning you realize why beyblade is so important
I agree mostly. But I'm saying, if I see someone publish a chapter and insists that the readers never comment anything negative about any elements in that chapter, it's unfair to expect any positive comments either.
it’s like this, right
If you see a street musician, you have three options:
Walk past without saying anything
Stop and listen to the music, but don’t give them any money
Stop and listen to the music and if you have the money and liked what they played, you give them money
Nowhere in any of that is the option, “Stop and criticize them to ‘help them improve their performance.’”
If you do that, you are considered an asshole. That’s just how life works.
In the same manner, when you read a fanfiction, you have three options:
Read it, like and/or love it, leave without a word
Read it, dislike and/or hate it, leave without a word
Read it, like and/or loveit, leave a comment
If you don’t like it? You don’t have to comment!
If you did like it but there was an element that wasn’t to your specific taste? Focus on the part you did like when you comment.
If you can’t do that, then walk away. Don’t say anything.
You’re right, you don’t have to leave a positive comment, but I’m not telling you that you have to leave a positive comment. I’m telling you that if you can’t leave one, then don’t leave a comment at all.
If the only way you’re willing to tell someone about the parts of their story that you liked is to also tell them the parts that you did not like and/or actively hate? Then don’t comment. Do. Not. Comment.
Because no matter how long each of those lists are–no matter if the good outweighs the bad or not–the only thing you’ve done is left a sour taste in someone’s mouth.
People do this for fun. It’s not fun if we give you something and the only thing we get back is that sour taste.
“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”
all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.
