Alright fellas it was time this was said

I didn't think this was necessary considering the amount of TIMES this has been brought attention to. However I'll just refer to the current fandom that I'm in since I am mostly seeing it here - but let's be real, this is a widespread issue and you KNOW it.

COMMENT ON THE FICS YOU READ.

And I'm not gonna go "oh but if you force people then they may not want to-" or "oh but someone shouldn't write to get attention or interaction from others, you should only create for yourself!"

NO, STOP.

I literally (and sorry) do not care. Creators, both of fiction, artwork, etc put their souls and hearts into the pieces they create and for what. A measly kudos on ao3? A like pressed on tumblr while scrolling on your dash? They can only create so much before they think they are worthless and that no one wants to see what they have to bring to a fandom.

If you LIKE something, for the love of god, LET THEM KNOW. I'll mostly refer to writing from this point on, but for artworks, c'mon you know you can reblog and leave some nice tags. Heck even emojis work. Show the creators that you appreciate them wholeheartedly.

Creators thrive on interaction but if you don't give them any, then how DARE you expect to find content of your favorite shows/characters/ships etc.

As for fiction-

No words for it? Say THANK YOU and that you LIKED READING IT. it really doesn't have to be deep!!! It just shows that you read it and their work is more than just one kudos. Leave some emojis if you don't have more than that.

Are you reading it again? LET THEM KNOW. Say "Hi i don't have much but I'm reading this for the second/third/etc time because I just like this so much!" It's okay to not know what to say, sometimes maybe you're not that good with words. A simple thank you will work. But THANK THE CREATORS.

I have a lot of writer friends, and it kills me to see them discouraged by the fact that people barely interact with their works. There's only so much that I can do myself. Yes it's appreciated from a friend, but it matters even more from all the people that read their fic.

I'm literally pointing at y'alls, RIGHT HERE. I know there's people who do this, and I'm calling you out. Stop consuming content like some fucking hungry hogs and have the decency to say something nice about things for once. Comments help fics more than you know. Reblogs and tags help fics more than you know.

If we discourage every writer by being like "eh this isnt that good, it only deserves a kudos and nothing more" then what the FUCK are we doing, seriously?

Any aspiring artist will get absolutely shut down from that. They may stop writing for good, and it will hurt them and also the possible dozens of fics they may have written if we'd only given them the appreciation they deserve for writing something. Heck, with time they may end up writing a FIC that YOU may like. But if we dont show them that their work is worth a few nice comments, then neither you or I deserve that amazing fic they could write.

This ended up longer than I wanted to, and I won't feel bad for the hostility of this post. I'm sick and tired of people coddling others for consuming content while not giving anything whatsoever in return.

And if you're honestly just leaving comments on the popular "good" or "long" fics then you can fuck right off. you don't deserve the content you're consuming if you think that something is more worth commenting or complimenting on just because of that. Small creators deserve just the same amount of recognition.

side note: this isnt for people that already leave comments for creators. you guys are doing your best and that's amazing, and we thank you for it.

COMMENT ON THAT DAMN FIC.

for the character ask game... idk if you've played aai2 but sebastian debeste?

I haven't played it, but I do know enough about him to have thoughts.

favorite thing about them: Oh, he's so relatable on my end. I am not smart in the usual tense, and just seeing his struggles really resonated with me. I also really like he became a good person, not started as one. It was kind of refreshing in a series that has black and white antagonists to have one start as a bad person and gradually become a good person.

least favorite thing about them: He forgave his fucking dad. I hated that so much. I know it was closure on his end but that could have honestly been approached better.

favorite line Since I haven't played, I wouldn't know.

brOTP Him and Kay

OTP I'm a Sebvier fan. When I found out they were the same age and got a request to write them, I was hooked.

nOTP Besides the usual stuff, I don't really like Kay and him together.

random headcanon I think he really is a great baker? He makes elaborate cakes and loves to decorate cookies and stuff in his downtime.

unpopular opinion Honestly I think that he is more than a bumbling idiot (I know his fans think this way too but it seems to be the general consensus.) He just was an autistic kid who was thrown into the wolves without the proper classes to help him adjust to society properly and then to add his dad to the mix, it really made him incompetent.

song i associate with them Let me think...since he's into classical music, I would say anything from the Cuphead soundtrack. I think he'd like that a lot.

favorite picture of them I actually don't have one on the top of my head right now.
