My dad has recently beat Dr1

So my dad has gotten danganronpa decadence on the switch and he beat danganronpa trigger happy havoc,so I though I'd share my dad's thoughts on the characters along with the weird nicknames my dad has given to them (also he doesn't know I've already played all of the games at a friend's house over the summer soo)

Makoto Naegi(Protagonist,lucky dude)

My dad seemed to like him,although he didn't like how dumb he was

Kyoko Kirigiri(the smart one,purple)

He loved her,like he was so thankful that she was smart,he said she was his third favorite

Byakuya Togami(Bastard,glasses,Snob,dude who messed with a dead body,least favorite)

He absolutely despised Byakuya,like my dad had a whole vendetta against this man,second least favorite

Sayaka Maizono(Blue,the dead one)

My dad didn't really care for her,although he does understand why she broke and was the first on to try and kill

Mukuro Ikusaba(Model girl,Soldier)

He found her cool,loved the fact that she was a soldier like he used to be

Leon kuwata(Baseball,college frat boy)

He didn't like him,hence he he called him collage frat boy

Chihiro fujisaki(Computer chick/dude)

He found Chihiro slightly annoying for crying a lot,but he warmed up to him,fourth favorite

Mondo Owada(no nickname just Mondo)

His favorite guy,every freetime event he hung out with Mondo,he stopped playing for a weak when Mondo died,Favorite

Kiyotaka Ishimaru(Mondo's boyfriend,Army)

He didn't like Kiyotaka,he found him annoying,plus according to him he acts like some dudes in the army

Hifumi Yamada(Nerd,Man who likes a computer)

He was neutral on Hifumi up until Hifumi one missgendered alter ego,and two fell in love with the computer,

Celeste Ludenburg(goth,Bitch)

He hated her,he said and I quote "I wish this bitch would die." So yeah,Least favorite

Sakura Ogami(Also no nickname)

He loved Sakura,she was cool to him,hung out with her after Mondo died,Second favorite

Toko Fukawa(Ugly purple on)

He did not like her,but she moved up on his list when Genocider showed up

Genocider(Cool purple one,Genocider)

He found Genocider funny as hell,got mad when he realized that he'd have to hang out with Fukawa to get her freetime events

Yasuhiro hagakure(Weed,Stupid,Dumbass,Idiot,the man who should die)

Did not like him,and was very surprised that he lived,every chapter he was like "Okay so the dead one is (insert nickname)" and then got shocked that he lived

Aoi Asahina(My irl name,Goldfish,Sakura's girlfriend)

He liked that she was a swimmer,that's why one of her nicknames is just my name. Said she had the memory of a Goldfish

Junko Enoshima(Mastermind,Real model girl)

Didn't like her,he also just didn't have much to say on her surprisingly

AITA for banning my husband and father in law from the delivery room due to their intensely stressful/creepy behavior during my pregnancy?

There’s a famous Reddit post from 2020 where a pregnant woman wrote that her husband and father-in-law were a little too comfortable with their certainty that she was absolutely going to die in childbirth just like her husband’s late mother. It was to the point where her FIL was insisting that she go ahead and put all her clothes into storage, because she was obviously going to die in the hospital and it would save them the grief of packing up her things afterwards. Like. It was WILD.

When I tell my husband [that she feels suspicious of her FIL], he calls me paranoid, but I feel like my FIL WANTS me to die; his whole life identity for the past 35 years has been “amazing single dad” (never dated or had close friends or even hobbies really), and it seems like he’s looking forward to being able to guide my husband through what he went through. At this point, I’d honestly be happy to never see my FIL again, and I certainly don’t want him in the delivery room, especially since he told me he was “putting [his] foot down” about me not being “allowed” to have an epidural…. My husband, in addition to backing his dad on everything, acts like my due date is my death date, and has completely pulled away from me.

The commenters (and me, honestly) were convinced that the husband and FIL were either going to kill her outright to fulfill this expectation, or just make decisions about her care that might conveniently let her die.

And then she never posted again.

Over the last four years, people have frequently mentioned that post, always leading to a thread of people saying, “Oh god, I still worry about that woman.” I did too. It became one of those famous unresolved posts that people always wondered about.

Until yesterday, when someone on r/BestOfRedditorUpdates dug up a 2022 update she had posted on a different account:

TLDR; I had a beautiful and healthy baby girl, and I divorced my ex-husband. I lived, obviously.

She writes that she put her foot down about having her own mother in the delivery room rather than her FIL (!), and she WOULD be getting an epidural. Her husband lost his shit. And in his outburst, he let slip--

I admittedly lost my temper, and told him that I wasn’t going to die- it wasn’t my fault his father’s trauma wormed it’s way into his head, and that he needed to fix it without taking it out on me. He yelled at me that he didn’t need therapy. That caught me a little off guard; I asked him why he went to his therapist and was given advice about my death if he felt he didn’t need it. His expression gave it away, and he caved not long after. It turns out there was no therapist. It was just his dad. During the times he was supposed to be at therapy, he was with his dad. I’m still fuming.

And that was when she got the fuck out.

I’ll wrap this up- I’ve got an adorable little toddler tugging at my leg atm. I’m alive, I’m happy, and I’ve got my baby in my arms. Life is good.

I truly never thought we'd see a resolution to this, and I feel like there's probably a good number of people who remember it, so I thought you might want to know.

ETA: Brilliantly, I put the link in at the top; here it is again for convenience.

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.

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

girl would like you to know that since Reddit's API changes in 2023, Reveddit and other third party applications do not work anymore. Girl made an update about this, so if you could reblog that version, that would be great!

"GIRL" INCLUDES TRANS WOMEN AND GIRLS AND ANYONE WHO WISHES TO BE INCLUDED IN "GIRL". TERFS NOT WELCOME. If in your quest for knowledge, you have decided to keep your prejudices, then perhaps you have never learned anything.
