i’m reading red, white, and royal blue rn(ik im late) and was looking at some playlists of them (bc why not i’m in that kinda mood) and to my abject horror, i didn’t see a SINGLE Selena song. no Contigo Quiero Estar or Donde Quiera Que Estés not even Amor Prohibido! i was fucking mortified. now i have to put on some random album bc i’m not creative enough(read:too lazy) to make a playlist.

let’s do better guys

Soooo I just saw the second season of KOTZ and now whoever's reading this is going to suffer, because yeah I abuse punctuation and caps and I grumble a lot, sorry.

(and yes I always watch things years later why do you ask?)

Where's my good-natured Aldebaran who laughs rather than frowns and gets all paranoid? At least develop him if you want to change his personality.

You had 12 episodes to cover ~7 Gold Saint fights and instead of developing the Gold Saints or the Bronze Saints you chose to flood the show with filler?

Very badly written and very badly timed filler that broke the flow of the show???

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO JUNE?!?!?

Did... did you think that Kiki was not annoying enough on his own? You had to give him a partner? And that partner had to be JUNE????? Was it like a "she's blonde so she can be the childish impulsive girl" kind of thing?

I mean yes Shunrei has a little backbone and Saori got to defend herself and do a little speech, so I guess that was enough empowerment and it justifies doing that to June.....???

I'm not even going to mention Shaun, to me this is original series Shun whose voice hasn't broken yet.

What... what was that with the butterfly???? I... nope. I just can't.

That whole thing on Star Hill was so very very very stupid.

The concept of Mu and Aldebaran investigating with Marin and June was intriguing, and then it got really boring and silly.

Why. The fuck. Were there SKELETONS??? did you think it was such a good scene in the original that you needed a whole episode of that? Totally pointless.

You know where the show actually holds up and has good moments? When it follows the manga/anime faithfully! Go figure!

Is it meant to look like the characters are plastic action figures? I'd forgotten about the textures on that show and... it's a choice, I guess? I don't hate it, but it's jarring at times.

The animation, however... most of them walk like they've got sticks up their butts. Or like their Cloths weigh 500kg. Which they don't. Because if your Cosmos is healthy the Cloth... oh nevermind.

I mean I enjoyed bits of it. I enjoyed it much more than Super Technology Talking Grate Saint Seiya from the first season. But there were some very very poor choices there that didn't make the show as delightful as it could be, shall we say.

[sydsaint]

Proofreading my own fics before i post them WILL end up being the death of me I swear. 😭

[totally-not-deacon]

Having my most... unique and specific bug/general goofery in Skyrim I think.

If a follower (not any other NPC) has a non-ward spell in their left and an enchanted (and ONLY enchanted) weapon in the right, it's a 50/50 that they/their animation gets stuck in combat lol

Not looking forward to picking through the good ol LO - I'll do it later

[cyazurai]

Tomorrow I get to do a 3-person job all by myself at work. Fun times!

I gotta admit something i think I haven’t heard better than revenge since 2011 so if I complain it’s merely because i love doing it.

[bardofavon]

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.
