Pherryts Corner

Like one of them, they asked me a question about how I'm posting so consistently, I gave my answer, they responded saying it made sense and now I had another comment on the fic and noticed they'd deleted their comments.

A different commenter complemented the specificness of my fics, I thanked them sincerely, and again, they've now deleted their comment.

This has happened four or five times this month that I've noticed, is this new or are people just finally noticing my fics and therefore I'm only just seeing their weird behaviour? Because I do think it's a bit strange when all of the interactions are good ones as far as I'm aware, I haven't had a bad comment and I've always responded positively

I have to admit, I've never heard of this practice before.

It kind of reminds me of how bot accounts here on tumblr will leave a comment on a blog or like/reblog things to set up a history of 'normal behaviour' that is vaguely supported by real blogs (if we don't report them). That builds up credibility so that they seem legit when they attempt something more nefarious, whatever that might be.

I'm not saying that's what's happening here. Maybe there's a rash of people out there with a strange anxiety quirk that makes them delete comments that are well-received? I've heard of stranger things 🤷‍♀️

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

Protagonist now remembers key facts about important people. He no longer develops convenient amnesia between cutscenes.

Protagonist now has a cooldown on certain adverbs. Adverbs have been buffed by 30% to compensate.

Developer note: Adverbs are important to writing but they are sometimes overused. This change keeps adverbs relevant while encouraging the use of adjectives and verbs.

The horse now has a name.

Solved a glitch where supernumerary limbs would sometimes emerge during complex physical interactions.

Should no longer display “[insertnamehere]” during conversations and narration. All of such occurrances have been replaced with the appropriate tags.

Conversation continuity has been improved. Characters will no longer inappropriately respond with lines from previous iterations of the narrative.

All references to “Event A” have been purged to reflect changes in narrative structure.

Paragraphs which contained two or more instances of the same adjective have had their adjectives updated to accurately reflect a player’s vocabulary inventory.

Minor time traveling issues have been resolved, all characters should now exist in the same tense.

Punctuation has been improved. Commas have been reduced by half.

Characters sighing has been reduced by 30%.

Characters looking at things or people during conversations has been reduced by 40%. To make up for this, characters thinking about the conversation has been boosted and descriptive narrative has been added.

Ryland, in slow and clumsy hums, agreeing with the claim from Stratt all that time ago that because he had nobody, it was justified to send him. And admitting that it's this same logic that has allowed him to be at peace with dying shortly after he reaches Erid, because there is nobody who would miss him.

And Rocky, who was initially going to poke fun at his friend's hilariously bad Eridian, suddenly feeling the weight of their language divide when all he can reply is
