that’s how Americans see earth irl
The only emails i'm happy to recieve are the ones from ao3.
The only emails that ever find me well
every day i am percieved™️
There is a reason for this though!
The original tweet summarizes it pretty well. Fanfic tends to be popular among certain types of neurodivergent people (aka people most likely to read excessively as a child, and have burnout as an adult) for the same reasons that we tend to hyperfixate–neurochemical signaling (I hope I’m using that phrase correctly). What I mean is, for people who are really dependent on changes in dopamine/serotonin/neurotransmitter levels, who have low levels or wonky neural reward systems (perhaps the most common types of neurodivergence)…people like us rely on dependable external sources of those neurochemicals. In order to function, we spend a lot of our free time trying to level out our brain chemistry using things that can reliably bring us a steady stream of joyful moments (rewards) without costing too much of the mental effort that is already in short supply.
significantly: the investment of reading has to be balanced with a steady “return on investment”–and this return has to start fairly quickly. because again, we don’t have a lot of attention/energy to invest on tiring things. we have perpetual “low batteries” in that regard.
that doesn’t mean these stories are “simple,” or that they lack complexity or value–only that the reward has to come in short regular intervals, and it has to have a low “upfront cost.” which is why fanfic stories are so perfectly formulated for neurodivergent readers–they are often beautifully written, but skip a lot of the upfront costs (of introducing new characters, of world-building, of getting the audience emotionally connected to the story elements).
the nature of fanfiction is that the reader has a pre-existing relationship with this world and these characters. that–combined with the shorter average length of fics–means that fan fics very quickly start “rewarding” the reader in a way that traditional fiction struggles to. that’s not a bad thing! and maybe it’s something more traditionally published writers should be paying attention to.
Fanfic, as a genre, has been uniquely helpful and accessible to many neurodivergent readers who would otherwise struggle to immerse themselves in stories. I’m glad so many of you have found a way to love and enjoy reading again! The important thing is that you are spending time inside stories you love–the way those stories are published or presented to the world is just one detail.

"are you okay" girl i am on ao3 looking for fanfiction from my comfort ship when i was 12 what do you think
PETITION HERE
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!??! STONE HENGE?!?!?!? TO MAKE WAY FOR A HIGHWAY?!?!?!?!??!? ITS A FUCKING WONDER OF THE WORLD YOU FUCKOS
This isn't actually the whole truth. They want to build under it because the road near it is becoming too narrow for the high density traffic that drives it, and they fear that one day somebody is going to crash off the road and bring the entire structure down. Putting up protective barriers won't work because the structure is so unsteady that the impact from crashing into it would have a domino effect, so they’re trying to divert traffic away from the area entirely.
I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.

Oh no.
my personal curse is the knowledge that I function best with rigid structure and strict routine but am almost totally incapable of independently establishing or maintaining that structure and routine

Big win
Peoples parasocial relationships with people on the internet get to their heads so much they start thinking their fav streamer is a therapist when all they wanna do is laugh at video games
I think we all collectively need to start being more aware of our parasocial relationships w internet personalities like i get it. This streamer helped you through a depressive episode, this youtuber was relatable, and it makes you feel close to them. But you aren’t. And you need to realize that, that someone’s CONTENT can impact your life, but you do not know this person. They aren’t your friend. They don’t know you. On rare occasion a content creator may befriend a fan, but like…If you’ve never even had a conversation with this person, they are not your buddy. Not even an acquaintance. They don’t even know you exist. You may WISH you could be their friend, but that doesn’t just…Make it happen. Even the most authentic youtubers or streamers or tiktokers are putting on a show. They’re only really gonna show one side of who they are. Stop treating them like they’re your psychiatrist or your best friend. Start processing the parasocial relationships you have with internet creators. It makes people uncomfortable at best and puts people in danger at worst. Be respectful. Be decent.
