thinking once again about the insinuation that Oscar might have been taken to an asylum after attacking McKenna, and that he might have stayed there until he aged out of the system, seeing as he never returned to the orphanage

So holy shit, just had a commenter apologise for getting excited and commenting on a bunch of my fics, thinking they were being annoying for doing it on works that were so old.

My dude, the oldest one was posted just over a YEAR ago.

Like christ on a cracker, wrapping my head around this mentality genuinely hurts. I still get the fleeting, odd comment on stuff that I posted to an FF.net account I abandoned in 2008. I'm still posting stuff to the same fandom that this commenter is reading fics from! I literally posted something within the last month!

I get that the consumerism of fanworks has taken over fandom spaces entirely. I get it, but fuck me if I detest it dearly. If something's not sitting on the front page of a tag, it's just considered dead, and I hate it.

Not to be all old man yells at cloud, but the way being a part of any sort of fandom space means playing a number game from hell these days is honestly the worst feeling. We're not in it for the numbers! We never were! The numbers are the smallest pip of serotonin on our radar compared to actual feedback and comments.

When this person first came into my inbox, and I saw a string of four of five email notifs come in to say I'd received a new comment, my dudes, I CRIED. Teared up like a bitch, because that's something that's so rare and beautiful and I've never seen it happen before. I honestly felt so blessed and warm and fuzzy. The fact this person took the time out of their day to read it and tell me the parts they liked, tell me they passed a couple of these fics onto others, just tell me a solemn thank you for writing what I do...

THAT'S WHAT I WRITE FOR.

No, I don't crave praise. No, it doesn't fill my ego.

It's about putting something out there into the void and hearing an echo finally. It's about standing up on stage and waiting for someone in the audience to make any sort of response other than cough and shuffle out the door. It's about knowing we've hit some sort of emotional response in our readers, because that's the ONLY way we know what we're doing is working. It's the ONLY way we know how to improve.

It just... it makes me so sad to know that we're only ever seen as products these days, not people. I love creating. I love being able to write, but it just hurts so much when it feels like no one else out there cares, you know?

Because that's what fandom culture is these days.

It honestly feels like no one cares, and fans are actively apologising for existing.

Like what the fuck went wrong along the way to nurture this mentality and how do we surgically remove it with a chainsaw.

My kid has started a Nintendo games phase so I told them to dig out all the old consoles and games at my parents house and they brought back an entire box of goodies.

Here's a few gems

But the most sacred of relics they brought me was this !!!!!!

[prettytboy-toy]

thinking about feeding you a gummy and the rest of the vodka and making you eat me out on the couch. im so sensitive from the past couple nights that i cant even touch myself, that even just the fabric of my shorts brushing against me is too much, but your mouth is so warm and your tongue so soft that i think that i could take it. the couch is at the perfect height that i could make you sit pretty on your knees on the ground in front of me while i force you to taste me. maybe if you're a good bitch for me we plug in the vibrator for you to hold between your legs so i can feel you moan into my pussy

Company: "Idk why we cant seem to keep people!"

*not pictured is company deliberately renovating the store and reverting back to older systems (both literally and figuratively) and requiring things like baggers while not hiring people to be baggers and making people who werent hired to bag, bag, and driving good workers away because of it*

With it being the driest year on record here + all the forest fires + the heat wave, it's absolutely impossible to spend any time outside without suffering with all the smoke and low humidity
