sometimes I worry that my writing is OOC but then I remember that someone at DC decided that Bruce Wayne should hit his fucking kids, and then I feel slightly better
just saw a tiktok of a guy saying "Me when I see a fanfic that mischaracterizes my favs so bad that I actually have to comment and tell the author to never write again" with the sound "i love the way it feels to be a hater", and I opened the comments expecting people to be like "haha yeah, but don't do this" or like "okay but never comment hate on fics because people are writing for free and out of love so...", etc. but the comments were full of people admitting to absolutely heinous behaviour.
someone said: "that time i hated a fic so much I bookmarked it and filled the notes with an angry paragraph about how much I hate it", like, what? in what world is it normal and acceptable to do that? and that's just one of the many examples.
I mean, there was a lot of joking and exaggeration but also people have done this, people do this. idk it's so bizarre to me that you would actively read something you don't like (after reading the tags and author's notes), to then write paragraphs upon paragraphs of hate, that is directly sent as an email to the author
honestly, if I got something like that in my comments or bookmark notes, it would really affect me. someone going "never write again" or just loathing what I wrote, I'd feel really bad.
just idk, have some empathy. you can exit a fic, you can block the author, you can hate silently, or even pour every ounce of hate out into your friend's dms or a journal or something. just why would you actively hate on someone who is providing entertainment for free and for fun?
I got sick over the Christmas holiday and had to spend New Year's alone yesterday, and since I didn't have anyone to give a NY's smooch to, I got on BG3 so I could smooch Astarion (it might come as a shock to ya'll, but I'm rather insane)
I ended up finishing my third run then and went to bed lmao. I have about 255 hours played currently, and right now I'm trying to decide what I should do for my next run 😅 I absolutely love this game so much
y’all ever just see the absolute worst take about a media you love and wanna like. snatch it out of their hands. like no that’s not for kids give me that. you can have it back when you’re old enough for critical thinking skills
