#just posting on AO3 is boring

[cowardstiel]

i keep going “awh man with ao3 down i’m bored :( i know! i’ll read a fic to pass the time over on… awh man :(”

#sighs wistfully #my post #ao3 #this is my last post abt ao3 i prommy im just a bit bored #and craving the cocomelon of literature

[maypersonne]

y'all ever open like your wips folder note app or google docs and be actually suprised to see wips there like damn that bitch does create and still got nothing to show from it

#listen the only fic i ever posted it was because i just got bored and just posted something i wrote like a year back #you people actually write stuff then post them ? #i call that witchcraft #i just forget about it after a few paragraphs #then i get pleasently suprised to find fic snippets that cater to my taste on my own pc #i may not recognize the faces of my children but they still fill me with joy #ao3 #writing #fanfiction #svsss #mha #bnha #naruto #dc #superboy #young justice #wouldn't be against any tips to instil object permanance into me if you got some

ao3: runs a donation drive

random people on the internet i've never heard of and who definitely do not provide a free service i use regularly: oh my god everyone who donated to ao3 owes me money, I deserve it more than the [libel] [bullshit fearmongering] [misuse of legal term] website!!!! these gross cumbrain fandom losers are taking money away from me personally!

#i don't donate to ao3 most of the time anyway because i don't have the spare cash to for the most part #i do not have a job #but like lmao every time i see one of those posts #that's like 'oh my god ao3 made money because people like the service it provides. i am a random blogger online' #'how dare you donate to the Ch*ld R*pe *ncest website and not to me. a stranger who you don't know but who hates you personally' #i go 'okay so now i want to take any money i woulda maybe considered giving to you and give it to ao3 instead' #at least ao3 isn't running around pretending that donating to individuals and donating to organizations that provide services are the same #i have some people id donate money to because i'd rather my money go to people wholl be able to appreciate it than services who will get #more from others than just me. but like. crucially their posts are like 'if you like what i do' #and not 'i am clearly on par with the website of fiction you read when you're bored so you owe me money'

I did some gushing over WN on Dreamwidth for the Snowflake Challenge if anyone is interested.

#you're probably not but i'm linking you to it either way. did another little graphic of our ladies because have you Seen them #i've been active lately huh? don't get used to it lol i think i'll need to disappear for a while for boring real life stuff #i do intend to have psychosis ready as soon as possible though. gotta go back to rereading it for revision. i'll keep you posted #not putting this on the main tag because meh #i don't need to preach to the choir lol! #also fwiw you *can* leave comments as a guest over there kinda like on ao3. just in case anyone ever wants to say anything #for the time being i keep anon comments on. if i get trolls (pfft because i'm so popular LOL) i'll turn it off but right now they're on

[deevotee]

sorry i havent been on here as much, mental health got worse very quickly but also just,,, its been harder being in this fandom because a lot of it on the proship side is mostly about a ship i dont really care about and thats started to bore me but then the other side of the fandom is antis and theyre just annoying in general so theres no real winning here lol but id like to keep posting more when i get energy again because rest assured, i am still mentally ill over this series

#i dont mean any of this in a mean way esp about the ship stuff #but im just so very picky with what i consume #and when im the only one posting about content i care about #it gets kind of boring fast for me #semi related ive been checking the cielinny ao3 tag everyday #and somehow instead of getting more content fics have gotten deleted #i felt like one of those meme pictures of that drawin on the floor crying #like i already have so few stories and content please keep your fics up even if u think theyre cring #devo speaks #but im just rambling

[jlf23tumble]

the fact this happened after the him vs it discourse (widely spread on twt btw)

https://twitter.com/LOUIESTREAM/status/1702075734833987892?t=RZZZh3lmmWClFjgS19iCAQ&s=19

the face he did afterwards like is he annoyed to say "it" or is he annoyed about the forceful "him". Ngl, from the 2nd half of the NA leg until now, almost every crowd does say Love him so... what are your thoughts Jen?

anon 2: U gotta roll ur eyes - the people making a big deal ALL OVER THE INTERWEBZ of Louis supposedly singing “I love him” (as if Harry is the only him, ever btw) are now offended he made a point of singing (screaming?) the “it” today. Not really sure what they expected? Oh wait, I do (him to profess his undying love for a certain curly headed c- on stage) but not happening, not today, not next year, and actually I would put money on neverrr

I think their best bet is on any declarations is from Harry, but only under sad circumstances hopefully decades from now and nothing beyond a few sentences

----------------

I feel like "him" was the original lyric (much like running from the bullshit is the original--and far superior!--lyric on SOTT), so far all we know, cross-faded Louis Tomlinson is just out there, going with v1, but also? I feel like you reap what you sow, and he wants zero larry associations, so I'm sure he was like, oh shit, okay, whoops. But also also? Yeah, there's more than one him in this world, and there's a lot of yoyo action in his real life, so for all we know, that's a clue to a deeper situation than larr nation wants to venture into

#i'm obsessed with m's tags (different fandom these days) #about the clinging of for dear life latter stage larries #because that's the vibe #i was chatting with phoenix about it all this weekend just catching her up and when you think about today's proofpoints being #(checks notes) louis wore greeeeeen! he liked a post about a mega famous artist and something something lime bikes!! #that's the real palpable energy of it all #especially when you see the way harry's very much OBVIOUSLY not lurking backstage or in vip #and it's not to say that didn't happen at one point #but it ain't happenin' now #and that's the source of a lot of anxiety #which is sad because there absolutely IS a story there if you want it!!!! #like a non-boring one too #on/off again #open #messy #that's an ao3 world that feels more real than the rando shit you see in some corners let's just say

Seriously need to make more friends or go outside more (both things are easier said than done) bc I am a little bit tired of relying on content creation for attention and connection :(

#idk I think I just miss how accessible attention from friends was in high school and even last year in college #but now I’m an online student and I live in the middle of nowhere so it’s a lot harder to hang out with people irl #and idk I just finished all of my schoolwork for the day and thought ‘I’m really bored and want to talk to somebody etc’ #and my first thought was ‘I should work on a new fic so people will comment on it’ 😭 #which! I do love comments! but also I need to talk to people outside of AO3 comments yk? lmao 😭 #I sort of miss the year-ish long era of COVID lockdown bc I was constantly on calls with like ten different friend groups #maybe it’s my self isolation or maybe adulthood is just like this? idk #I’m moving in with friends next semester so I think that will be good for me #I just wanna make online friends man :( but idk how to DO that except by making fandom content #and hoping somebody likes it enough to slowly incorporate me into their life LMAO #I wish calls/voice memos were the norm in online spaces I’m so much better at those #anyway this is very pathetic to post but whatever. I’m trying to get used to being vulnerable on this blog #not that I owe it to people online to be vulnerable. if anything I should NOT be vulnerable on the internet #it’s just that. I am not very vulnerable period. so it’s better for me to air it out into the online void than to bottle it up forever #ellyposting #vent #ish? just to be safe

[fiolect]

i just like imagining them listening to comfortably numb because it’s kinda what started it all

#apparently being a hater is so sacred that not even i get to know what past mads was bitching about #just ao3 user grumposaur things ig !! #like girl go pet a dog and think about the boys holding hands for the first time and maybe you’ll stop being boring #edit: there’s also an alarming amt of 1D posts in there. every single one is correct tho

I accidentally started a Twitter account for myself 😭

#i wasn't trying to. i was just trying to see ao3's status page on Twitter for any updates but couldn't look at it without an account i guess #i won't bore you with the details. but long story short. i'm an idiot 😔 #more than likely i probably won't be posting anything on it #might use it as a way to keep update on any fanfiction sites issues or something. but other than that. i won't be using it #worst day on my life 😩 (not really)

[sonego]

i pretty much decided i'm posting the fic i wrote (😥😥) bit i'm postponing it simply bc i can't be bothered thinking of a title

#should i use my one remaining braincell and post it tonight #ugh #then i'd also have to put it on ao3. formatting it idk it's been too long since i posted on ao3 #too much work i have no energy but. need a distraction perhaps #wish i could just slap the working title on it and call it a day but atp it has nothing to do w the fic #(and it's ugly and boring)

[darkforestwarriors]

having conniptions at 3am as I realize that my only fully finished and realized fanfics are a one shot warrior cats vampire AU and a long ass one piece self insert shipfic that no one other than me will ever lay eyes on (probably?)

why am I like this help

#useless text post #I find myself writing almost exclusively self insert actually which I don't care if people find cringe but even so I find myself unable to #release them into the wilds #I have a couple non self insert-y ideas but its so hard to get. into the headspace to write them #or maybe I take them more seriously? #but then again I took my two longest self insert fics pretty seriously too so idk I guess i'm stuck unable to pass the embarrassment barrie #the embarrier as you will #secretly part of me does want to go ahead and post them now that I have an AO3 account but also the worries #what if peopel see them? #but even worse I think somehow is if I knew lots of people did see them and just ignored them I would fucking die #But like ...my tastes. are very formulaic and also specific #what if they bore people? On the other hand: What if they're exactly what someone has been looking for #im overthinking all this LMAO #I don't think im brave enough to do it tonight but maybe. maybe one day I'll be bold I'll be brave etc etc. #cringe on main blah blah #no one will read my inane word vomit tags anyways what am I worried for #(pleas validate me)
