aw man all that im asking for non brazilian qsmp fic writers is that whenever they want to make the brazilians say something in portuguese, that they at least either research if the phrase make sense/is grammatically correct or check with a brazilian fan if theyre right/ask for help.... bc the amount of fics i read that are well written and interesting but has a brazilian talking in portuguese and its the most nonsense sentence ever made/clearly a direct translation from english that makes no sense in portuguese makes me so sad it breaks the flow i was having and it makes me wanna close it immediatly

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

Gale stabilizing all 3 party members from death after not getting hit himself at all and then dropping this bomb while everyone's on the verge of death. So funny of him

I love that Elizabeth and Darcy are so ready to effectively tell each other they're full of shit. This happens a bunch of times, but I was re-reading their conversation at the Netherfield Ball and they're both kind of refreshingly Done.

[Darcy:] “Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?” [Elizabeth:] “Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet, for the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as possible.” [Darcy:] “Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying mine?” “Both,” replied Elizabeth archly; “for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb.” “This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,” said he.

It's also pretty funny, because I suspect Darcy is thinking of this sort of thing in a later conversation at Rosings:

“You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me. But I will not be alarmed, though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.” “I shall not say that you are mistaken,” he replied, “because you could not really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know, that you find great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which, in fact, are not your own.”

Vegetta heard that some members of the server are scared of him and he was like "Why? I'm not even a tryhard, I was the last person to get slime armor" and I'm like... Vegetta people are already scared of you, WHY would you respond to that with "But this isn't even 1% of my true power''

Where did you hear about Rachel and her yesmen spying on the community?

Well for starters, there are the lads over in Broseidon's Palace of Fishposting who confirmed it as people who were there that RS joined the group and attempted to micromanage the admins, telling them what they were and weren't allowed to post and essentially trying to wrangle control away from these fan groups.

People on reddit clarifying it (including a Broseidon's Palace member who was there):

Rachel also stated in an old interview, "I don't know, I feel some people are like you need to not make them so saturated and I'm like no! More saturated, no one can stop me. So that's them." Which gives off very "take that, hater!" energy. And it feels like it's just been getting worse in recent weeks as new critic communities and accounts have been opening up (particularly /r/UnpopularLoreOlympus). Many things that are discussed in the crit communities end up being addressed randomly in the comic and often very preachy-like (Persephone talking about the "hegemony" of virginity, Eros and Daphne suddenly acting considerate towards Persephone's feelings after literally prying into the sex life of an SA victim the week before, Hades saying shit like "the pace of our intimacy should be up to us" after people criticizing how Rachel was making a huge fanfare out of Persephone finally getting laid, etc.) or otherwise seem like Rachel is 'doubling down' on things she knows are being said about LO.

Again, these all come across as paranoid assumptions, I'm sure, but considering her pre-existing history of lurking in and being booted from fan communities, it's hard not to feel like Rachel isn't doing this still to this day and responding to the criticism as if these groups are in any way attempting to speak directly at her (which they aren't, they're discussion groups made for the readers).

There are a lot of other examples too but I feel like I wouldn't be able to go over all of them without looking even more paranoid than I likely already do LMAO

The most recent example was the other day, both the UnpopularLO subreddit and Discord made staff posts reminding people of the rules - that discussing Rachel's personal life isn't allowed as it's not the purpose of these groups (after people had been discussing what Rachel's relationship with her mother is like due to how she writes Demeter, also the fact that Hermes is apparently based on her partner but Rachel's own self-insert continues to pursue the rich CEO billionaire anyways and now Hermes is nowhere to be seen, etc.) - and that very same day she came out with this:

Aaaaand this is half of why I'm pulling away from LO. Not just because of its very problematic creator (with or without the stalking) but because it's also turning me into a crazy person LMAOO

(I promise, it's just the ADHD/autism hyperfixation in me, it's not keeping me awake at night or anything, but I still also need to like, step away from this bullshit because I shouldn't even have to be this paranoid over Rachel peeking on us, because best case she isn't and we're just being chronically online, and worst case she is and she continues to ruin her own day and her comic with all of her constant backpedaling and retconning and doubling down lmao)
