Hi people, I'm a bit fed up rn so just a short reminder that authors can see what you write in your bookmarks on AO3

And like I've recently been struggling with writing more than usual and had a bit of a dry-up in comments (which happens, fair enough, you don't have to like my fics enough to comment, etc) so I looked into the stats and bookmarks to cheer myself up/fight the imposter syndrome and had just been met with two separate users using their bookmark notes to not only rant about how horrible and not up to their standard my fic was, but also, in one case, to make some 'subtle' transphobic remarks about me, the author.

Both users are now blocked on my AO3 but if you're using bookmarks to rank your fics and didn't like something, please at least have the decency to make it a private bookmark if you're ranting about someone's writing skills or plot or just plain calling their fic stupid and bad

I've seen users putting fics (mine and other's) in bookmark collections called 'absolutely nope' or '0/10' or whatever, which is not nice but tolerable but recently I think people are getting a little too comfortable about being negative in a space that never asked them to be

Like most people, I write fic either for fun or as a form of self-indulgent expression and I share it because I think someone might also enjoy it or appreciate it. So many authors struggle with motivation as it is and I'm not an exception - yes, I write fics for myself primarily but I wouldn't be posting or writing them down if it was just for me, they could just stay as daydreams in my head and spare me the frustration the writing process and notes like the ones I've just mentioned bring.

To put it shortly, please remember AO3 authors can see your bookmarks and the notes/collections you use (unless you make them private) and that AO3 authors are human beings not souless content creators

honestly, i feel bad for admitting this but im a bit jealous that my moots get double digit notes on posts that arent that much while when i make an actual point or an actual cry for help it barely surpasses like 5 notes

i love my moots but i still find it unfair (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

I’m ngl, tumblr is such a fun place once you tune out the noise and stop overthinking what you’re posting and just have fun in your space freely

[jatlokgwo]

can you have hpd and also internalized that you shouldnt have/arent worth attention and not have a spesific attention person and not want to spam text people is that possible

The frustrating thing about having good days with pain or bodily irritation or mobility or whatever else isn't that it's a "good day." It's the feeling that you are either greatly exaggerating your suffering or worse, that you're secretly wanting attention/admiration for your suffering. I think people sometimes are confused as to why good days in terms of disability can be distressing to some, but it is precisely that you almost... overthink the Implications of good days.

It isn't that you want to be suffering, it is that you are taught you will only be "worthy" of help if you are suffering in the Right way (and having any good days are often seen as a sign that you aren't "truly worthy").

I really don't understand why people need to make fun of teenagers and young adults for being passionate about causes they believe in and social issues they worry about, even if excessively. First of all, isn't this what youth is about? Secondly, you could just... talk to them, instead of writing snarky and inflammatory posts about how st*pid you think they are? They probably won't change their minds, or it may take a while before they form a better, more balanced opinion - but what's the use of making fun of them? The notes on Tumblr? Wow. So very much more adult and mature of... actual adults who think they're better than everyone else.

But then again I realise that Millennials and Gen X have become exactly what we hated: the New Boomers who hate young people for being young and acting like young people.

How and why does everyone I know get so much attention like I get none at they get like 5 asks a day minimum

Watched Ghost Game more or less ( and re-watching it again immediately with company ), and I didn't really like it.

I know it's just not for me, but somehow it still infuriates me that it came so close to being what I hoped to see from Digimon all these years - a proper horror/mystery setting, and then fell flat because it's still aimed more for kids.

God I WISH they went for a different art style and made it for a bit older audiences, so the horror element could be properly explored more.

The pacing and monster-of-the-week thing where each issue is resolved within a very short episode also just kills it for me, because some episodes have SUCH cool premises that could've worked much better if they were given a few more episodes per plot, to really give it some atmosphere and actual mystery-solving, or proper character development. The overall plot is also just a mess and feels like it barely existed, and IMO the main villain was just underutilized and just, eugh. I'm not even gonna say anything about the last episode lol.

The characters were also very flat and superficial, like it was hard to care about anything at all when the characters ( who are kids!!! ), are dealing with stuff like that, get tortured, cursed and god knows what else, and just don't have any reaction to it. Like come on, this really would've benefited from if we had them written better and more grounded, with more psychological stuff involved, too. Same goes for side characters.

Not to mention some very weird use of some Digimon, unresolved storylines, etc..

I liked some things about it - namely some great story ideas, the animation, some of the episodes were still really neat even with the insane pacing, Gammamon is very likeable, but overall, just. Ugh.

It feels like it could've been SO much more had the creators gone with some better direction for it, one way or another.
