fic is a safe space, probably one of the last safe spaces. by safe i mean safe from the pressure of caving to advertisers. you can write fic about anything and not worry (shouldn’t worry) about what’s popular or what an advertiser oriented algorithm will pick up. what i mean by this is that you don’t have to bring this advertiser friendly behavior into fic. heroes can make bad decisions, people can fall out of love, villains can win, villainous organizations can win, redemption doesn’t have to happen, etc. make things a little messy if you want to, because life can be messy and art is a reflection of life. not what the advertisers have decided for us life is like, real life. this is one of the last places where this is still possible

i yet again do NOT understand why people think that what happened to steven in future came out of nowhere. the main show beats it into the ground how fucked up all this stuff has him! just cause he ends the main show in a good place doesnt mean that everything was solved! he solved the gem stuff but not himself, that was the whole point!

like. those people show that they didnt even pay attention to the show AND they dont understand trauma. like. shut the fuck up !!!!

I don't think I've ever been this frustrated with a fic before. It's genuinely one of the best reads this fandom has to offer; the plot, the characters, the pacing all work very well. And yet! Each time I got immersed in the story, something (like a lack of periods at the end of sentences, characters' names without capital letters, no commas in obvious places, sometimes a word or two that got skipped for no reason) kicked me out of it.

I'm just really confused why you didn't think it'd make this fic even better, if you put each chapter in any free writing app (even google docs) and check it for spelling and punctuation mistakes. You don't need a beta. Your writing is great. It would take a moment, and then your work would be excellent.

Maybe minor mistakes catch my attention because I'm a teacher and English is my 3rd language. I get you don't want to obsessively check every paragraph or you're dyslexic. We have software for this!

You're clearly very hard-working, so it shouldn't be a problem to check your text for silly mistakes (that we all make). Correcting them, next time you write something, won't take more than 5 minutes of your time. But the effects will be there.

hi condescending internet stranger! i've actually been in the process of slowly going back and doing some basic edits. i'd like to bring to your attention that I am in graduate school, I work TWO jobs on top of Freelancing and still make time for this. this was originally supposed to be something fun for me and what I assumed was the couple hundred or so people that would engage. it's been deeply overwhelming for me to see the response its gotten. usually it's great. but people like you are making putting out more work extremely stressful because the pressure to be perfect is umm. a lot. and not why i started fic writing in the first place. this is a free labor of love i am putting out because I LIKE IT.

i guarantee you that diligently going over every single word of a 90k long piece of work takes up a LOT more than five minutes of my time, which may i remind you - you aren't entitled to any of. I do the best i can considering I often have 12 hour days.

i actually do run it through a basic checker. so miss me with that. what i will not do is run it through an AI software - which based on your tone is what I'm guessing you suggest I do. and accusing someone of having a learning disability is kind of insane - especially for a teacher ?! i'd really suggest you watch yourself with that kind of language. much more harmful than missing a few periods.

have a nice day :)

kind of expected that the ability breakdown wouldnt get that much traction (especially on twitter bc if it doesnt do well in the first few hours it might as well be dead) but what i didnt need to wake up to was looking at my twitter notifications and thinking there was a long comment on it at first but then i read it and it turned out to be some guy having dug up one of my old totk tweets where i talked about how zelda was treated-

and if a quote retweet with a thread attached already starts with "this entitled brat didnt understand that zelda was being a history nerd by being in the past and getting to experience it herself" with two screenshots attached of the end of totk with zelda staring at the cam all uwu (which has ??? to do with their point??) i dont even want to know what else was in that thread

if thats how the majority of the fandom is then im even less surprised that nintendy doesnt even have to try to write anything good :I

ah yes, i am a game nerd, and by putting me in a game where i stand around doing puppy dog eyes while being shoved around by NPCs is me being a game nerd OBVIOSULY

Should i like. Be plugging my fics here? Because to be honest i kind of was of the mind that everyone who would care to read the things i write had already seen them

Fanart for @lucasandcie, who I've been wanting to draw fanart for for awhile now! Since I first started doing artfight actually, cuz I first discovered him there. I had been planning to attack some of his characters, they all look so pretty!! But...after I attacked one of his sonas, a worm on the string, he blocked me there. I have no idea why, but I may have done something that they said they dont want in their character permissions which I admit I did not read. Though, im gonna be honest, im a pretty emotional person and im pretty sure I fucking sobbed when I found out he blocked me :'D (its fine im fine everythings fine)

If @lucasandcie does see this, best case scenario he likes it and maybe even unblocks me on artfight (I really hope so :'0), worst case scenario he blocks me here as well-

Also, if he does see this and does read all of this, I want him to know that I am NOT trying to guilt trip him, im just speaking my thoughts and maybe perhaps venting a bit becase this has been the cause of so much sadness and it took me a couple weeks to get over it (mostly-) Another thing, if he is reading this and it is that I crossed his character permissions I AM SO FUCKING SORRY I WAS JUST SO EXCITED TO DRAW A WHOLE BUNCH OF WORMIES HANGING OUT I DIDNT THINK TO CHECK PERMISSIONNNSSSS 😭😭😭😭

Edit: its been figured out

I love me a Bell lives AU where rather than going on a healing journey after solovetsky and living basically happily ever after, they instead live in absolute torment. i NEED more people to delve into Bells mental state post game events more than just them having some minor nightmares and amnesia. especially right after solovetsky, i want so badly to see the immediate pain and crisis they wouldve been thrown into.

i need less of Bell living somewhat happily and more anguish

Finally at the landsmeet, hope i can finally find out what makes ppl defend Loghain as a character, beyond what ive seen in cutscenes and Anora talking about him.

He’s interesting, i sort of get why he’s compelling story wise. But. Why do people defend him. I am curious.

Apologies if im just bringing up old fandom talking points im playing the game for the first time 🙏

I DONT WANT TO SEE VIKTORS GLORIOUS EVOLUTION . PLEASE DO NOT?? GLORIOUSLY EVOLUTE???

Ive been excited to see machine herald viktor since season 1 but . not like this!!!

See i would say this is just like the powder -> jinx transformation and his change is inevitable it’s a tragedy so I shouldn’t feel too upset but. But. There’s a difference in the character arcs which just makes me all the more uneasy

I love powder, but I think arcane’s story functions primarily with jinx in mind. we only ever got to see powder three episodes out of two entire seasons—her character is essentially baked from the beginning to be jinx. The story is more interesting with powder as jinx. Jinx is more fun to pick apart, analyze, laugh with, and watch than powder.

But viktor? He was fun to watch before he was the “machine herald.” We got the whole of season 1 of him kicking around, making noise, and being generally developed and interesting to watch even if he doesn’t shoot lasers out of a third arm.

I just really don’t want to watch an out of touch supervillain emotionless robot terrorize piltover and zaun!! I only hope he’s fun to watch instead of being a generally really sad agency-less bucket of bolts

It just clicked for me that I’m going to be all-consumingly devoted to intensive studying for the next month. I’ve been more ambivalent since the year started, bc I honestly miss my friends and want to pursue a lot of hobbies I’ve been dying to pick up, but I want nothing more than to ace an upcoming test that will genuinely determine so much of the trajectory of my life. I’ve already been studying pretty consistently for it, but now I’m actually letting go of my expectations for other things while this is going on. Putting all this pressure on myself has done nothing but slow me down. Like my brain is actually shifting into study camp mode. It’ll be back to waking up at 4 am, studying for 8 hours a day minimum, crunching flash cards w my morning drink/on the treadmill, getting so much done before noon, and not feeling guilty if other areas of my life suffer a little bit. Nothing outside of this matters.

can i just say its beautiful to finally have another character blush all cutesy on screen even if its out of embarrassment THANK you jnj this is my favorite sub short EVER
