#wilson?

Sometimes I see someone complain about ao3 comments being hyperbolic and internally I'm like NO YOU DOn't GET IT I REALLY JUST LOVE IT THAT MUCH.

At the same time, I was reading steam reviews for something earlier today, and the most effusively praiseful ones weren't convincing at all. They just came off as pretentious and melodramatic. Supposedly, melodrama happens when the drama hasn't had enough set up and doesn't feel earned. Say, take the ending of that one movie about the guy marooned with a volleyball. (Spoilers for said movie I am currently forgetting the name of.) If you saw the scene at the end where he loaes the volleyball (Wilson?) and freaks out and cries, without first seeing the rest of the movie, it'd feel ridiculous. But with context, the character's pain makes sense, so it's dramatic instead of melodramatic. The point I'm trying to get to here is: a steam review inherently can't give me the context necessary to make super emotional praise sound appropriately dramatic, so instead they end up sounding melodramatic, even though they are probably sincere. And with ao3 comments, I'm sure sometimes people read the super enthusiastic comments and - unable to judge tone or emotion through text without a level of ambiguity - imagine them being written by a stone-faced friend. And if they didn't get that invested in the story themselves, effectively they don't have the context to understand that emotion without dismissing it as overblown. Like, if I read the 5 star reviews of books I HATE, it is... aggravating. They're all absurd and seemingly nonsensical and HOW CAN YOU LIKE THIS???!! But I think they probably do. I just can't relate. Hyperbole is a thing, too, I just think people are too quick to assume something is hyperbole when it might not be, sometimes. This is way more than I meant to write and kinda disorganized but whatever. TLDR: if I write a gushy comment on your fic, I mean it. I may be overlooking some flaws, I still might not think it is perfect, because most things aren't. But I'm not like. Just trying to butter you up for more fics. And if I was, it would be because I wanted more fice, which would mean I liked your fics. TLDR TLDR: believe people when they compliment you?

What was considered peak masculinity back in the 2000s is now considered as little meow meow energy in 2024

This clearly shows how far we've progressed and become even more improved versions of ourselves.

As for this godly man, he's still as fiery and yet so sweet even two decades later, if not more, as he was all those years ago.
