howdy

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

…well this post sure took off

new ask game; what do you think my hobby, skillset or knowledge or any other details of me based off my writing

reading fics where the author has never read comics is so funny bc one of them will have a fundamentally great understanding of one character, only to give all of those traits to tim drake, and then another fic will have something like "well we all know helena isnt good with children so obviously we cant let her on this case"

i think it's funny when a character is almost exclusively referred to by their last name by other people and this carries over into their internal monologue when someone writes from their pov. not even on a first name basis with herself

people are always saying things such as "this story/movie/show has incredible worldbuilding if you look past a few questionable scenes". the authors not disguised fetish that's a part of the creative process

yall need to stop being nice before i explode, i cannot handle all this</3

no joke i am SOBBING. tears are on my face. my guyliner is RUINED. (in a happy, overwhelmed with good emotions kinda way)

if your response to, “I wish there was more sex repulsed asexual representation,” is to point out not all aces are sex repulsed, maybe first stop and ask yourself why you are doing that. We live in a society that’s constantly telling us we need to have sex and I’m so glad there are aces who aren’t bothered by that, but it doesn’t invalidate those of us that do not want to. This isn’t a competition, I want to see all kinds of aces, being upset with a lack of respect for sex repulsed aces doesn’t mean I think the rep that’s already there for sex favorable aces should be changed. I am capable of wanting both, why aren’t you?

thank you for saying that, it means a lot that you see me that way. honestly i don’t totally blame them, because i dont think its really on purpose or anything, but yk. still sucks.
