writing fanfic comments is its own art to me and i take great pride in them. ppl need to keep gushing obscenely at every moment they like between their fictional blorbos

comments on fanfics

I thought about writing this post for a long time and decided, fuck it, I'm gonna write this.

All over my dash I see people being disappointed because nobody is leaving comments on ao3 anymore/rebloging things on tumblr.

And the only thing I can think about this is: it's so true.

Two weeks ago I posted the epilog of my 60k words fanfic (I've been writing on it for almost a year and got some positive feedback on it) and I got ZERO comments, or kudos on the epilog.

I can see that people kicked on it, but I have no idea whether they liked it or not. (And I used to get a comment on my story now and then)

Last week I posted the first extra chapter (I planned three of these) and also got no reaction.

No I'm just sitting here, wondering if my writing is just true shit.

This is also the reason I was hesitate to post this. Maybe it's not the people and just that shithole of a story I've been writing.

Things like are just running around my head now and must say that the motivation to even finish those extra chapters is gone.

GUYS, IF YOU LIKE A FANFIC PLEASE LET THE AUTHOR KNOW, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO THEM.

So if you read a good story, not some bullshit like mine, write that comment.

They want to know if they're overreacting for not wanting to stay at their boyfriend's house. What do you think? 😐

logging on Tumblr tonight thinking "they don't know... they don't know tumblr user jell-hell has gotten awarded for research on wtnv and fictional podcasts' use of metalepsis in text and sound content... and it's all because I was a nerdy teen in 2015 with internet access and bad english"

funniest thing about matt deathnote is that without reading the manga and without interacting with the fandom the amount of intellectual real estate he takes up in your experience of death note is infinitesimal. right up there with rester and gevanni and like, light's sister. nothing like the whiplash of watching death note for the first time in 2023 and having to figure out why unnamed 60 second anime boy is a disproportionately beloved collectively hallucinated fandom oc. truly the goncharov of yaoi

JD Vance memes has peacked: How internet turned the Vice President into bloated, grotesque icon - The Times of India

The JD Vance meme has reached its peak. The JD Vance meme has reached its peak. Across social media, grotesque, exaggerated images of the US Vice President flood group chats and Discord servers. His face swells, his eyes widen into a vacant, menacing stare, and his chin stretches in unnatural ways. Sometimes, he clutches a giant lollipop. Other times, he mutates into a McNugget, a nuclear…

btw the reason why people get mad about "but I hate sex!" comments is because they r comments on a post thats saying yay sex. like if you are ace or a minor the thing to do isn't to interact with the yay sex post it's to go away. we know you exist. this was not for you

okay this message my friend sent me is funny and all but WHY IS MY FANART THERE

[intergalacticwhales]

I know its not as important as other research paths about the matter but I'd really like to know why a big portion of autistic people from spanish speaking countries prefer and sometimes start speaking english first even if no one from their families speak it.

Something I still find a bit funny but also concerning , is when trans people who have like interacted with other trans people online for a few years and have maybe read some older posts or whatever and just presume that means they have historical knowledge of what the trans community on the internet was like, and how things developed over time. Like I've been a part of the "internet trans community" (whatever that means) for over a decade at this point, and as a weird sociology obsessed nerd have been trying to analyze and understand it's history and dynamics for almost as long, and yet i mostly just find myself frustrated by the gaps in my knowledge, I don't presume to have anything but an incomplete picture.

I think this especially becomes a problem because so much arguing and discussion among trans people on the Internet now centers around and utilizes terminology that originated or at least was originally spread via the internet, and because of the relative recency of all of this, understanding where and when terms originated, what led to them being formulated, who adopted and used these terms and how were they being used then vs now and so on isnt something that can be ignored. The social phenomena and situations that created this terminology, and the sort of spaces where these terms originated often still exist, pretending like their history is ancient and irrelevant because it predates you becoming aware of them 4 years ago or whatever feels more like weaponized ignorance.

okay i said “abortions georg” in reference to the hypothetical woman who uses abortion as birth control and has at least 1 abortion a month and it keeps… just popping back up in my head. i’m just minding my business and my brain is like…

abortions georg is a statistical anomaly and should not be counted
