#a payment story

[backpackingspace]

I am once again thinking about how odysseus who witnessed the horrors that the captured women went through (one of his main duties in the iliad was taking the women back home and making sure they were as comfortable as possible and safe because he was the only one trusted not to violate them further due to his devotion to penelope. And in the odyssey part of the reason circe sent him to the underworld was so that he'd have to listen to all these women's stories (before he could talk to the prophet) ). Who was one of the few that saw women as people and respected their space and opinions. And was then put in those exact same situations. I don't have the motivation right now to do a full literary analysis of this (I'll site the sources too) but oh man one day I'm going to write a full essay on this.

found out there's a pnach cheat you can use to mute nova's calls in xillia 2 (she gets REALLY insistent if your current gald is over the quantity of the next payment) and now i'm imagining nova calling him and ludger just stares at the ghs in silence and blocks her number

[miss-celestia13]

This isn’t directed at anyone in particular. Nor is it about me. Just be kind to authors. If you are reading their stories, and want to leave them a comment, please be kind to them in it. It’ll ensure they feel comfortable to continue writing more stories. If you dislike the story, click out, and find something that you will enjoy instead. There is plenty to choose from. We aren’t steel skinned, emotionless word processors. We’re human.

What we aren’t going to do to writers, who give their free time, energy, and heart to create stories for people to read for free, is DM them multiple times to berate them because of a story they wrote. No. Especially when said readers never interacted with any of the stories until after they were taken down. It is hard and scary enough sharing the things we write without having to worry about this too. It’s never fun when a story we loved is deleted, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to bully others. This is a futile endeavour, but I’ve never been known for holding my tongue, and can’t watch as people are hurt by this.

So please, if you find yourself enjoying a work of fanfiction, or an original story, let the author know you like it. If you just want to read and not interact, that’s fine! We deeply appreciate, and thank you, too. Just don’t be a dick to people.

Leave them Kudos, Votes, Notes, Reblog, or a comment. One or all of them. Anything! It’s the only way they know people are reading, that they enjoy it. You’re free to do as you wish, interact or not, it’s your choice, and we always respect it, we’re just happy you’re reading it at all! But this, sending hate because a story was taken down or it didn’t go the way they wanted, it is beyond a joke. We don’t respect this. So many writers have quit writing for fandoms or stopped writing altogether due to toxicity, entitlement, and lack of support. It runs writers away. And then people complain there’s no new content. But there would be plenty content if this select few could stop themselves from being absolute twuntwaffles to people online. It’s the internet. It’s typically not a nice place. But we don’t have to make it worse than it already is.

Most readers are wonderful, generous, and appreciative! We love them, and can’t believe we are lucky enough to have them. We save the comments, know their usernames, and get excited when they show up on our stories. It’s a gift beyond price that we never feel we truly deserve. The gratitude we feel for our readers is endless, and permanently inked in our lives. You mean the world to us. But our stories also mean everything to us, and we reserve the right to do what we want with them.

Thank you ❤️

Oh btw I’ve also won a private talk with billybabe on the fanmeet whatever it means

[bunnymajo]

…so uh.

On the bright side I don’t have to pinch my pennies so much for a few weeks and maybe even not feel guilty about buying extravagancies like *reads notes* food.

Maybe I can even buy something fun for myself again. Looking forward to that.
