here we go again :/

i see posts between binary trans folks and other folks like

"please don't call me dude, it's a gendered term."

which gets pushback in the form of, "It's not gendered to me!"

and the thing is both of these people are technically correct but the second person is missing the fucking point.

whether something is gendered or not if someone asks you to not call them something do not react defensively. it's not about you and your perception of the word, it's about theirs. If a woman asks to not be called a guy don't call her it!

don't call people things they don't like regardless of you own perception of the gendering of the word!

If an enby tells you to not call them a 'girl' in the queer community way, don't call them a girl! hell, if a woman asks you to not call her a 'girl' because she's a woman then don't call her one either.

You guys ever be so tired that you don’t even have the energy to eat? Like literally you can be hungry but you just physically can’t get up so you’d rather eat sleep for dinner instead?? That’s me rn. My fucking head hurts and I’m just about to go to bed super early because I barely slept last night (kept waking up) and it was such a long and busy day at work it’s beating my ass. Sigh.

still find it funny when I see the take that fandom is bad at diverse platonic relationships and always defaults to pesky, pesky parental relationships. God, I really can't think of a single reason many people seeking escapism would craft positive parental relationships from their media... can't think of a single justification as to why people want to see random man be a good father.

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.

doylist explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: probably something about space constraints and making sure two sprites in one seat aren't covering anyone else when they're not in focus

watsonian explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: he snuck in and is hiding from the teachers, don't give him away 🤫

(I've reached my limit of unsuccessful attempts at pulling them before I need to save keys for Halloween, so I've been living vicariously through youtube videos...but the fact that Gidel just pops up from under the desk to wave his arms around happily is really testing my resolve. D: I'm gonna die when they finally get to do alchemy...)
