Personally, if I was Zuko in ATLA, if Jet was to accuse me of being a firebender (which would be true) in front of a tea shop full of people, I would IMMEDIATELY go the misinformation route. No questions, I would just start lying. “What do you mean, ‘I’m a fire bender’? I have a burn scar. Firebenders are immune to fire.” Straight up lying. Untruths would spill out of my mouth like a fountain. The best thing is none of the citizens of Ba Sing Se would know any better. They’ve never met a firebender before (unless they were a refugee, but even then, probably not common to see a firebender be burnt, so point still stands), so how would they know I’m lying? Jet would be seething.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

I GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK!!!

I still believe that for something to really grip fandom creators it can only be like. 60-70% good.

The writing, concept, and/or characters have to be there. But there has to be a flaw that requires transformation. Maybe a character arc is fumbled, or there’s scenes that we don’t see or a relationship that’s only implied. Maybe it gets cancelled too early!

It obviously can’t just be bad. If the characters don’t feel compelling, or the setting just isn’t exciting, people aren’t going to latch on.

But it also can’t be too good! If there’s no space for discovery, what’s the point of the transformation! It already does everything you could want! The only people who can create there are gif makers if it’s a visual medium, but even then if it’s perfectly shot and coloured why would they want to?

people who for very silly reasons want to market prepared food products without preservatives in them who then discover why we started putting preservatives in prepared food products in the first place (because without a preservation method food quickly grows stale, and frequently also moldy or downright toxic) is a consistently good bit. like people really seem to think we put Evil Chemicals in food on purpose for no reason.

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.
