#ABSOLUTELY FUCK NO!!

[epickiya722]

No, seriously, I think that some people just choose to consume than to just enjoy.

They'll say an arc sucks now and be like "the story was good before" but then probably was that same person who wanted the story to pick up pace or have a "better MC" or so used to the same old formula that when they decide to dive into something new, and probably for popularity reasons, they think the story isn't good.

Or!! Shipping! Let's be real, some of you think an arc is bad because it doesn't cater to your fucking ship as if it was important in the first place! I like my ships, but I also like my characters without said ships FIRST.

I get it if the pacing is bad, hell, I write and I have an issue with that with myself sometimes. Or maybe something doesn't matter sense.

But, just me and I don't intend for anyone else to do this, I also like to go back and reread details and research beyond the story like interviews and or extra character info to understand the story better. And sometimes, I won't even put pacing on the fault of the creator because they do work under people who pressure them to put something out. (And you fandoms aren't any better in that regard.)

The funny thing is... watch years from now the same "critics" are going to go "Oh, maybe that story was good!"

watching @nanowrimo within a single hour:

make an awful, ill-conceived, sponsored post about "responsible"/"ethical" uses of ai in writing

immediately get ratio'd in a way i've never seen on tumblr with a small swarm of chastising-to-negative replies and no reblogs

start deleting replies

reply to their own post being like 'agree to disagree!!!' while saying that ai can TOTALLY be ethical because spellcheck exists!! (???) while in NO WAY responding to the criticisms of ai for its environmental impact OR the building of databases on material without author consent, ie, stolen material, OR the money laundering rampant in the industry

when called out on deleting replies, literally messaged me people who called them out to say "We don't have a problem with folks disagreeing with AI. It's the tone of the discourse." So. overtly stated tone policing.

get even MORE replies saying this is a Bad Look, and some reblogs now that people's replies are being deleted

DISABLE REBLOGS when people aren't saying what nano would prefer they say

im juust in literal awe of this fucking mess.

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

hating tiktok is not a "back in my day" type thing. tiktok is objectively affecting other social media platforms in detrimental ways. ux elements are being stripped and everything has to have a fucking short video clips function. it's rampant homogenization and it's a problem
