Was reading Volume 4 of Spy x Family and I had to stop because it was when Anya see's Loid dead by a bomb and it made me realize how difficult her power must be. Like imagine getting a dog who can see the future and because you're a mind reader it allows you see to the the future too. And you just saw in vivid detail your father's gruesome death. Also u don't tell anyone about what u saw because no one knows about your power for fear of abandonment. Also you are literally Four Years Old.

omg hi!! im the biggest fan of your the prince and the forger au it's one of my fav damianya fics😝😝

Hi!!! That's so kind of you to say, thank you so much 🥹 I had SO much fun writing the Prince and the Froger, honestly it just felt like a breath of fresh air (especially compared to my other long-running works 😂), and I just had the most magical time writing it. Also, the idea that Damian could be the prince and Anya could be the frog made me *laugh* like you wouldn't believe it. So. You know I had to put it out there.😂

I'm so happy that you and so many other people connected with it so genuinely and with so much warmth. 🥹🙏 It's a story that will always live on in my heart 😭

Honestly, although Cobra lacks warmth and tact and should have done better to understand them as people, you can totally see why he's emotionally switched off for Nani and focused entirely on Lilo and her welfare if you see things from his POV and pretend you know nothing about how Lilo and Nani really are.

You're the guy who gets called in when nothing else has worked and a kids welfare is seriously on the line. Not a great job, but you care enough about kids to do it.

The first meeting you have with the caretaker of your current child is her kicking your car and calling you a pejorative (she totally would have said something stronger than 'stupid head' if it hadn't been Disney) because she's running home where she's left that child alone. You arrive and she's locked out and yelling threats at the child, but quickly pretends she hasn't been when she's being watched.

There's crap everywhere outside and inside the home. The stove is on and overflowing and noxious. The child clearly has a script rehearsed and the moment she does off script the guardian hushes her up. The child is clearly not socially well adjusted, which doesn't seem to be being worked on and has resulted in her fighting and biting (there's no way he didn't later learn about that) other children not to mention the 'voodoo'.

Then the guardian loses her job and they weren't doing financially great before (can't even afford a real doll for Lilo) and when you go to check up on that and see she's job hunting right away oh yeah, that's totally an alien. Ok, that's not your job any more and you know aliens can integrate just fine but this one is violent and the kid is attached to it, it's another safety risk, but you give them all further chances to show Lilo is going to be ok because you do still believe it can be done.

Except she's frequently wandering around alone, the alien almost kills her at some point and she's left alone whilst the house is being attacked (by more aliens whilst more dangerous stuff happens!) and is on fire.

Like yeah, that's all he's seen and it sure looks like Lilo is not safe with Nani (at least see the moment) at all.

And yet at the end he accepts that Nani will have the support she needs now and keep doing her best and Lilo will be safe, so he keeps them together because that's also part of his job and becomes another part of the support system. But oh boy, did it look terrible there for a long while.

muscle memory kicking in

they're adorable

enough about "fighting the narrative" and "being trapped in the narrative" and "escaping the narrative". watch princess tutu.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

Writers are like a protag who resists the plot hook. We are tired, we don’t have the motivation most of the time, and we certainly don’t have the time. However, we have to write because otherwise our lives go into utter disrepair.

don’t know who needs to hear this but AO3 comments section is not Letterboxd. giving unsolicited criticism to a fanfic writer does not make you a “fanfic critic” because there’s no. such. thing.

giving unsolicited criticism to a fanfic writer just makes you a spoiled, rude, entitled asshole at best, makes the author stop posting their works altogether at worst.

a reminder that it’s always okay to just stop reading and quietly click away from a fic if at any point you feel like you don’t like it for whatever reasons. unless specifically asked, there’s no need to tell the author, whose work you read for free, how you dislike something they wrote for themself for fun.

they dont tell you this but like half of adulthood is just washing the same FUCKING pan

“We’re friends, aren’t we?”
