#i’m shouting into a void

[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.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #tbh even if I got a comment that said ‘I hate you I’m going to kill your family’ on chapter 75 it still means they read 75 chapters first…. #it just makes me sad to see so many writers shouting into the void #and also see ppl complain openly about the specific types of comments they receive #posting screenshots on Reddit like ‘should I be mad at this’ CALM DOWN #sigh

do any of my friends know the love I carry in every word i say to them. When I add too many words, drag on a joke that’s over, when I message them despite the fact the conversation barely ended five minutes ago? every word i speak is an intimacy that’s laced with outright adoration for them as people and all the little details that make them who they are. Do you know I love you? Do y’all know how much of you I try to commit to memory? How much I try to make you smile? do y’all know the love I feel for you?

#ignore this I am just being philosophical and queer #very exhausted and overcome with human emotion #the human experience as pack animals is so fascinating #also fucked up friend emotions bc I’m aroace #and friendships mean so much to me #i am so sleepy #aromantic #asexual #aspec #asexuality #aromantism #queer platonic love #platonic love #i love you #friendship #late night emotions #alterous yearning #shouting into the void #free form poetry #poem

We finally understand what’s going on with Day and Night! And I’m honestly so glad it’s not anything as basic as Night directly causing Day’s accident. He may feel guilt and Day may be holding onto unfair anger at him, but we all know he didn’t actually cause Day’s blindness. It was an accident, and Day was the one driving recklessly rather than just pulling over when he got distracted. Instead, this is all about Day’s resentment because before the accident, he was the good son and Night was the messy one. And he feels like that’s been flipped on its head now, and has decided to make his brother the target for all his rage and anguish about his loss of control.

It’s deeply wrong of Day to treat Night this way, but it also feels like a very authentic manifestation of his grief. Our families take the brunt of our bullshit when we’re spiraling, and given Day used to care for Night in his messier times, he probably feels Night owes him this. Everything about this reveal feels true to what we’ve seen and I trust this show to unpack this, bring Day through his realizations, and repair the rift between these brothers who clearly love each other.

It really is a testament to MCR’s importance and power that thousands of people will wake up at all hours of the night to watch a low quality shaky garbled livestream with audience screaming over it from the other side of the world, and feel genuine deep overwhelming emotions from it every single time

Ecologist!Reader aesthetic | Corrupted by Design | Feyd-Rautha x Reader

You stood out compared to the Harkonnens, in more ways than just one. You wore loose clothing: rich brown pants or skirts and deep greens tied around your torso and arms, sometimes flashes of red or blue—all washed out under any sunlight. You carried with you strange jars and herbs, your dark, sunblocking glasses atop your head if not perched on your nose, your waist satchel stuffed with samples—you must have looked completely alien to their more minimalist sensibilities. “You dress oddly for someone from the Imperium,” one of your workers remarked. “Is it your goal to one day turn into a plant, and not just look like one?”

Ryan’s face when you pick ‘Dismissive’ and have Dylan roast his favorite podcast and then pretend not to laugh about boners.

I never would have picked any of what seemed like the mean options on my own because I was shipping them too hard, but you get some really good, funny, and/or enlightening interactions out of some of them!

I also love how Ryan reacts positively to Dylan saying it would be nice for someone to call Ryan for a change, but I can’t make myself pick that option because I have to get “Ryan seems interested” to pop up on my screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Devi literally never got over Ben. She has never once been “over Ben”. She simply tried to move on because she convinced herself he didn’t want her anymore. Literally the same with Ben, he has never gotten over her. They have been in love with each other this whole time. It’s stupid to say otherwise.

i finally posted a fic! i’m excited and the support has been so amazing, and very encouraging. i talked about this in my authors note but kind of wanted to talk about it here too:)

things are hard for me rn 🤷🏻‍♀️ i’m going through a lot, personally and professionally. i’ve been super busy and it’s been hard to find even five minutes to just sit and relax.

the very little bit of time i’ve had to write, i’ve mostly stared blankly at my computer. it’s not a lack of ideas but more a lack of words. it’s been hard to want to create when it could be received so poorly. people are very mean and cruel, i knew that, but i’ve never been as discouraged as i was in january.

i was at a point that i was crying when i saw a picture of george :( which is so so devastating to me. i didn’t want to write, i didn’t want to do anything. i had no interest in being here. now, sure it’s only 2 months later, but i can look back at love you always and be extremely proud. that is one of my favorite works and im not sure i’ll ever write anything that tops that.

i’m tired. i’m frustrated that i can’t get myself to write, when i was writing 5k a day just a few months ago.

and then i wrote going through the motions, and that helped. i realized that writing about my personal experiences is what i’ve always done, so ill keep doing that. how am i meant to write fluff and romance when i can barely keep myself standing?

i’m ready to get back into things but want to work on what i want to, not what i think people want.

“it’s hard to put energy into things when you don’t even have enough for yourself” - this is directly from my fic, yes, which is directly quoted from shiver. when i decided i wanted to write again, i couldn’t stop beating myself up over the fact that i couldn’t get anything done.

i’m working on it, i’ll get there.

another thank you to shiver. this girl literally is the only reason i’m here. she’s the one who convinced me to start writing last year, and has pushed me to keep going, and gotten me back on my feet (even though i’m still a little wobbly). i’m sure yall are sick of me talking about her, but seriously. if you had a shiver, you’d be talking about her too. love you.

thinking thoughts again…

i think my interpretation of euclid has shifted a little.

i still hear a sense of farewell, a finality. but it also has an elements of thanks. i was listening and heard the lines “and in reverse you are all my symmetry/ a parallel i would lay my life on”

and i always get caught up on the fact that he addresses the recipient of those lines (the way i hear it) as “you all”.

it takes me back to vessel’s speech from the room below. how he talks about how it’s not right for him to be told that he saved our lives, but rather that we all, the fans, saved his.

those two lines in euclid now sound to me like a thank you to the fans. a recognition of the fact that we are all broken humans, but this music has brought us together to save each other. to take care of each other.

i have so many feelings about this song, so many feelings about this band. i have no idea how to express them but this gets me there somewhat lol

Wild unsubstantiated theory: Elías isn’t falling from a window at all. The thing in his pocket is the psychometer, which is being used against him to convince his brain that he’s dying.

By working together with the fight instinct to grab the device, they can get Elías to turn it off, and that’ll be what saves his life.

Here’s the thing about Yai: he’s just a 20 year old kid. He is naive and pampered and unprepared for any real challenges that come his way. He doesn’t have the backbone or the savvy to stand up to his father in any real way—he talks a big game but when it comes down to it he only knows how to obey. He loves Jom, sincerely, but he is not equipped to figure out how they can make this work. He just wants it fiercely but has no clue at all how to get it.

And here is the thing about Jom: he has more life experience than Yai and he also has no fucks left to give. He is lost in time, he keeps getting fucked over no matter what he does, and he is sick and tired of this shit. This isn’t his time and he doesn’t owe these people anything; he has no qualms about challenging their norms. His priorities have shifted—he has stopped drawing and instead of trying to find a way home he is staying to protect Yai and change his own fate. He has found his fight again after reaching the depths of despair, and it’s amazing to see.
