spontaneous protest erupts out of popular discontent > people react to police brutality > protestors and media alike push the ‘peaceful’ narrative as an appeal to authority > lacking any organized way to escalate, protestors are atomized and alienated > protest fizzles out > repeat process

Dude, okay, hi!!!!!!! YEAH. So you know I had to send you this but you are INSANE (the positive kind, of course). Still feeling a little overwhelmed by all of your comments and words but you're literally an angel? Literally be over there pointing out things I didn't not think about at all while writing???!?!? (which, to be considered, is really funny.) But I just needed to tell you that I immensely appreciated your insight on everything!!! Really refreshing somehow, as in very well put and meticulous in your understanding and noticing....... You literally MADE my day, and you probably (did, will) made my tomorrow too!!!!!

(Actually laughed out loud at your addition that none of the 164 characters know bisexuality... I really don't think either of them would be bothered to put a name on it. Not even Zetton, who I think is a RAGING bisexual. lol)

So yeah!!!! I really appreciated your words...... You had to know man. I've been crazy.

Also!! An adding of my own :⁠^⁠) I really adored your fic on Ryuushin and the relationship he had with his brothers. Absolutely amazing depiction of familial/emotional alienation, abuse, and power dynamics.... Made me feel like I was finding a lost little boy in the middle of nowhere. Simply gut-wrenching.

GAH! THANK YOU!!! Thank you for everything and have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn since getting back into Crows I've gotten nothing but great vibes! That's the benefit of being in a small fandom though we're all insane in a good way 🥰❤️ I've been realizing how important commenting can be so I'm so glad it made your day like reading your fics did mine!!

And thank you about my Ryuushin fic 🥹 I wish all writing went as easily as that one -the benefit of inspiration!

Thank you!!

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.

I love a fic where a harmless misunderstanding leads to wildly different interpretations of the same events by the characters.

Also though my one gripe with Crows is that Takahashi really didn't care to write women in any capacity beyond 'background girlfriend' or 'background little sister' (though he gets points for Mary-nee in Worst) so I'm always down to add extra where he won't!!!

Idiocracy is kind of bad in its messaging because it ends up being kind of implicitly pro-eugenics but even setting that aside its political message is just kind of silly. It's of course understandable why it's become such a core part of US liberal discourse, because it allows them to pretend that like. The only reason the Bad Party is in power is because of some nebulous anti-intellectualism infecting the US. It gives them a good way to externalize the issue. Actually, the reason the Good Party isn't in power is because the electorate is bad and stupid.

Anyway this was brought to you by the fact that I saw mention of a Cracked article that compared Hulk Hogan's appearance at some Republican event to Idiocracy and I felt a sudden wash of nostalgia as I was transported back into the Bush presidency.

Hey so obviously Crows is like the classic of the delinquent genre so of course I had to write a short crossover with one of the new gen
