#asking the fandom

[misty-wolf-draws]

Hey, another question for the Portal fandom.

What do you call this angle of Wheatley?

Like, it's this specific type of way he looks where he's looking somewhere and his eye isn't angled to look at the player.

I guess we all agree that Crowley is a Slytherin.

But... how about Aziraphale?

Some information bout the Houses in case you need help to decide:

Guys, I need your help... <. <

I'm looking for a video I saw a long time ago in which Paul and maybe Flake imitate how female Japanese sound when they sing "DU HAST" during their shows. I can't find it again.

Does anyone know where I can find it? I know this Fandom can do miracles...

Much love from France! ❤️

For more context : yesterday I was in Paris to enjoy my second Rammstein concert and it was AMAZING. But the best part is that I brought with me my parents, my brother, my brother-in-law and my loving boyfriend with me because I told them they HAVE to see this show once in their life, even if they might not enjoy the music as much as me. And they all loved it!!!

Now we are in the car, going back home. And my boyfriend is asking many questions about them because he just can't wait to see them again. At some point we talked about this video and he really wants to see it because he found all the members were really funny yesterday (he laughed so hard dorung Mein Teil... 🤣)

So if you know where I can find it, I would would be truly grateful!!

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

[ckret2]

I suddenly realized that Evil Ford can be easily defeated with the Memory Gun, since he doesn't have a metal plate in his head. After all, why would he need protection from his friend?

He has a metal plate.

In Evil Ford's timeline, the fact that he freely let Bill possess him meant Bill could use Ford's body to sneak into dimensions/worlds he'd previously been locked out of.

So to stop this, the Oracle kidnapped Ford and stuffed a metal plate in his head.

Bill and Ford are both very depressed about this.

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

cosplay by @woahchriswoah on Twitter

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

I forgot how lonely it is to write original fiction.

Where are the kudos? The subscriptions? The comments? The people cheerleading me chapter to chapter? Where are the kind words and compliments and reassurances that what I'm writing isn't complete crap? Where are the unhinged emojis? The asks on Tumblr? Where are my mutuals in my dms apologizing for not reading the latest chapter right away (side note, you know you don't have to apologize at all, right??). Where is the fanart? Where are the recs?

Where is my motivation to keep going?

It's something I've been thinking about a lot, actually, lately. How the experience of writing fanfic is so unique. How you already have an audience, willing and waiting and captive. And that's really it, isn't it? You have an audience. It's almost performative, writing fanfic. It's being on a stage, a one-person show (or two, if you do it with a friend); it's getting live reactions to your performance, it's feeding off the energy of the crowd and informing it back in a feedback loop; it's improvised, sometimes, in almost-real-time. It's building something that you couldn't have built by yourself. A thing that takes on a life of its own.

It's an experience you can't get writing original fiction, and, honestly, not having it is making it hard to write something original at all.

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

Has anyone thought about what Wheatley's laugh would sound like?

And I don't mean his giggles from his ap-sap dialogue or his evil laugh in the mainframe. I mean full-on genuine happy laughter.

Hello dear GoodOmens fan!!

We all know that the actress who played Beelzibub changed from the season 1 to the season 2.

And I would like to know.. which one you like the most!

So here's the poll:

[officialgleamstar]

just for curiosity's sake, to any fic writers in the audience --

if you've done more than one, vote the lowest down option!

*not as in "i invented a trope", but as in "i was the first one in the transformers ao3 collection to write a tagged 'only one bed' fic"

(ao3 specifically used only because its so easy to search for this information, but if you were the first one to write a fic for anything on other sites, i'd also love to hear about that!)
