Not A Story - Blog Posts

By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.

When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.

When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.

If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.

Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.

Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.

It isn't school.

It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.

When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.

Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.

"I like your character development."

"You paint wonderful imagry."

Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.

I want engagement with my readers.

The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.

Comments like:

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Did she actually just do that?"

"EXCUSE me?!?!"

None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.

I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.

Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.

If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.

the suffering never ends

“omg what fandoms are you in??“

bro i find a new piece of media i like, join the fandom, hyperfocus on it for multiple months, lose interest, find an older fandom i used to be part of, check that one out for a month, hyperfocus, lose interest, and the cycle goes on…

no FUCKING way

I just found the Death Note 2006 live action movies, both of them, with the english dub. I found the fucking english dub of them.

y'all internet archive is where it's AT

anyway here's the first and here's the 2nd, enjoy but don't snitch on me

this site also has every death note book there is, just search for it and it's there.

You can only reblog this today.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

no matter how much i say, i will never have said enough. no matter how much i love, i will never have loved enough. no matter how alive i am, i will never have lived enough.

there is so much of this world and of myself to give to it and everything on it but i will never have enough time because i will never run out of myself, of love and care and need and humanity.

i am so afraid i won’t have enough time to be with the people i want to be with but in the end, i am simply glad i don’t want my time to be done already anymore. i am glad i appreciate life and time and that i live to live now.

i am glad birds will sing and suns will rise and waves will crash and people will talk to me tomorrow and the tomorrow after that too. i am glad i breathe and think and smell and touch and taste and i love so deeply with all of me.

i am glad to be alive. i am glad to be me. i am glad to have the earth under my feet and my friends in my hands and my desire for everything in my mind. i am.

New people with empty accounts that are suddenly following me, I really need you to do something that looks like a human person. I’ve been here long enough now to remember the old wars, and you are coming into my home wearing the uniform of our enemies.

Don't hold back your tears.

i think the funniest and realist thing i’ve realized lately is how troubling idealization can be. every person is just… a person. the very people you want to impress or be apart of are just people. even if they seem wildly intimidating because of the way they look or because of their reputation, every one is just a person. human. as embarrassing, as remorseful and they are going through stages of growth just like you are. we only see what we want to see and then drown ourselves further in our own depression and we don’t have to.

watching videos of people explaining why somebody who watched a video and had a bad opinion of it is wrong and why you should watch their video on why that video is good instead. watching movies make fun of movies and books make fun of books and everyone is wrong all the time and you should buy my product, fuck my fleshlight, eat my food and hate everything else.

if you don't, you're wrong and you need to get off the internet, snowflake. grow the fuck up, liberal. you communist dickhead, you nazi scum. you chronically-online bastard, you don't understand anything if you don't agree with me.

oh, you don't like the way something is? get over it or kill yourself. who cares about inflation? on Shein, it's only two dollars. who cares about child labor or sweatshops? it's not like buying the clothes from this store does anything. who cares about what I do? I'm a minuscule part of the universe. the ocean cares. the landfill cares. the atmosphere cares. the people selling useless shit to you care.

so why don't you care? you're desensitized because you watched porn when you were five, because you saw a guy's head get blown off in a third world country online when you were eight. because you've got your unicorn sour lollipop watermelon blue raspberry nicotine and you're not even planning on living that long anyway so what difference does it make, do you make.

what does it fucking matter anymore? why do we try? who cares? who fucking cares?

...

why do you care about that, it's not like you'll make a difference anyway? why do you try to help people when there's bad people out there? why do you clean your room if it's just going to get dirty again? why do you try if you're going to fail?

...

"It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it" - Oscar Wilde.

we must try. we must care. we must listen and grow and heal. we must be better. be the goodness you want to see around you, inspire what you desire. forgive yourself, move on and fix yourself. change is possible, in fact, it's the only thing that is. we can do better.

we are the power, we are the world, we are the change. we are good.

i love telling people they remind me of someone i haven’t met yet because it’s so true

you remind me of a soul i know in the future or in some other reality i am not currently conscious in and i tell you that out of pure love.

your soul is so beautiful to me that i’ve met it and loved in twice in two different people and when i meet it again in the future i will love you through them.

I have one more request that I know of but I’ll have to get to it tomorrow because I had more stuff to do today than I thought which left less time to work on my writing :(

I’m hoping for another snow day but if not, I’ll still work on it when I can <3

Honestly, Mystic Messenger deserves kudos for how unique it was. I really can't think of another dating sim with the overall vibe of MM, nothing compares. Like, the dynamics between love interests first of all isn't jam packed with cheap drama. When you read the conversations between them, you can actually believe that these people are friends and get along with each other. You can sense that they've known each other for a very long time, you sense the trust and the deep bonds more and more as you progress through the story.

Not only that, but the love interests are unique as well. Any dating sim fan can tell you all about the various tropes that our love interests embody, but I feel like MM is the only sim that actually has a unique take on them. Like yes, Jumin is the overbearing rich CEO who's into BDSM and wants to own you like he owns everything else, but going through his story you truly see a side to him that feels so gratifying to learn about in the format of MM. His conflict with his dad is unique to the core- his dad isn't abusive, not to Jumin. On the contrary, Jumin holds nothing but warm praise for his father consistently and you can tell that aside from the womanizing, they have quite a good relationship! But you see Jumin's emotions change real time, how he slowly breaks down until he can't stand it anymore. How he just needs someone to comfort and understand him in his lonely world, someone who isn't a cat or his friends that don't know how to act when Jumin's collected demeanor falls apart.

Or Zen, the classic narcissist flirt, who isn't at all. You really get to see where his narcissism comes from, how he copes with being an actor, how he learns to let down his walls and let people in all the while his sweet personality coming through.

Just. Ugh. Mystic Messenger.

The way it ends.

men have those slutty veins in their hands and expect you not to lose a lil focus

I ADORE the "random/through the day" types of pictures. It just adds that feeling of going back through memories and reminiscing about some of the more everyday stuff that still fills your heart.

Ahh, I know, it’s been so long! I was working on my graduation project and it’s finally done! I graduated! 

If you attack Cheritz or are being a pos to them because of the once again delay of The Ssum, I will come to your house and beat you over the head with a steel chair.

Even if you're frustrated, be respectful.

It has just occurred to me that for some reason my masterlist isn’t working?? So I’m going to try to go through and reroute the masterlist links to the actual posts. I didn’t realize sooner but I don’t know when it disconnected. It shouldn’t give any notification spam, but I apologize in advance if it does 

❤Happy Birthday to my choi boy!!

感谢mm.
