”toxic” “old” Man “yaoi” And They Fought Once Are 28 And Never Have Sex

a century later, he still remembers his face

project sekai hates me

even if i like boys kissing more girls kissing is nice too ^^

I drew the viral Miku from Confessions of a Rotten Girl, and she has some truths to tell to ya fellow yaoi fans...

giving “unsolicited criticism” on someone’s fanfic doesn’t make you cool and your “suggestion” is definitely not helping the author lol

what fanfic is is 1.) free, 2.) something an artist writes for fun, 3.) their source of comfort and joy.

unless specifically asked, fanfic writers are not looking forward to hearing your unsolicited criticism, even if you do so “politely”. by reading someone’s fic, you ask the author to let you in their house and they let you in. if you end up not liking their place, you quietly leave. you don’t start telling them things you don’t like about their house.

“but I was being polite when I tell them their bed should be bigger” “I was saying it so nicely when I let them know pink did not suit their couch” no. you’re not helping. you’re just telling them they should adjust their place in order to fit your personal liking. it’s their house. not yours. build your own house instead of telling strangers how their houses should be.

if authors didn’t ask for your opinions and if you don’t have anything nice to say, be quiet.

OHH THATS ME I LOVE THAT FIC SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT 😭😭 YOUR LEN IS SO GOATED I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW HIM um lavie lavie chu i like the game lavie is for

HOLY MOLY YES THATS MY FANFIC😭😭😭😭 thank you for finding me…..that’s so crazy… also YAAAAH NERU AND SURII ARE SO GOATED!!!!

i’m taking a writing class rn and we’re making our own short stories and mine is basically kailen fanfiction except i changed their names HDHDHDHSDH

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

oh damn yea i kinda just gave up on that too what were they thinking giving us an assignment to do towards the end of the term

me to people online: rest and take ur time, don’t burn yourself out <3

me to my friends: it’s ok, one fail is not the end of the world <3

me to this one specific person secret third thing friends-lovers thing: you’re amazing and deserve better <3

me to myself:

“work your ass off until you win. until you’ve surpassed all of them. tired? HA! the others are getting ahead. keep working, dumb bitch.”

“do you see how close that grade is to failing? you passed? wow, how cool! it’s still really fucking far from perfect.”

“you’re absolutely horrible to everyone. they’re just sticking around. they never loved you. you don’t deserve all this. get better and you might. emphasis on might.”

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.
