everyone agreeing with this tweet is so lucky because cell phones have absolutely been in my dreams, specifically DREAMS ABOUT TUMBLR DISCOURSE. I literally had a dream my mutuals made a callout for me i'm not fucking joking helppp
I love it when there's a couple but then there's a third guy who's also there and he's part of it but not like romantically he's just a part of the couple but like....platonically
i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again
these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled
Every time AO3 makes an update, there’s a chorus of ‘and can we please please please be able to leave kudos on each chapter pleeeeease?!?!’
In theory, this is a nice idea. We’ve all smashed the kudos button on our favourite fics, bemoaning the fact we can’t give them all the love.
But ya’ll, kudos per chapter would absolutely fucking suck.
For readers, it would suck because it would compound the existing problem of making it hard to find fics that are good and not just long - not that a fic can’t be both! But there are plenty of Pulitzer-worthy one-shots out there that are buried way way down the list when ranked by number of kudos, because they’re beneath a bunch of 50/? fics where the author lost sight of where the hell the story was going 30 chapters ago, but their fic has had 50x the chances to be viewed so has more kudos. It would encourage authors to release their fics in lots of little chapters instead of a few longer ones/one-shots as they might otherwise have done (and as might otherwise suit the story).
And for authors it would especially suck, as it would compound the existing problem of people not commenting. Kudos are very much appreciated, but comments make an author’s day; but so few people bother, and frankly, it’s disheartening. Let people just click a button to show their appreciation for each new chapter? The hits:kudos:comments ratio would get even worse than it already is.
You can already ‘give kudos’ for each chapter of a fic on AO3 - by commenting. Hell you can literally write ‘kudos!’ It will make the author smile, I promise.
a very, VERY important post. spread everywhere and screen record the video to your phone. or message me and ill happily send you the video. give to every woman and girl you know.
bc as they both said / demonstrated, its not only super easy to do, but super easy to miss.
eddie's issues and problems are so transparent to me. 'the first woman i've wanted to spend this much time with since shannon' so long as he compares every woman to shannon, every woman is always going to fall short, bc he's got this idea of shannon in his head that's 50% grief 20% time and 30% first love/shotgun marriage/just plain being 19 years old. he loved her and he ran across the ocean to get away from her and she ran across the country to get away from him and his whole life is in shannon's shadow, so of course every woman he dates isn't going to feel anything like being with shannon. being with SHANNON didn't feel anything like being with shannon.
and he wasn't happy or miserable with her, he was a mysterious third thing called being a kid and thinking you're in love and then being stuck together and having to be in love. shannon is the perfect smokescreen bc she's a standard no one will ever live up to, so it doesn't even matter that eddie doesn't particularly want anyone to live up to the standard. if nothing's ever right then his relationship w/ shannon was never wrong either and he never has to think to hard about it in any direction. it's safe! it's simple! it's miserable!
