I can make myself throw up on command so ig I can't be concerned

I agree! I think because all of us were teens at some point (and chances are we read/wrote fanfics back then as well), it’s super apparent when it’s a teen writer now as an adult reader. Because there are certain tropes, dialogues, the way they characterize certain characters on top of— like you said— the way they express themselves, that are dead giveaways of a younger writer. You can tell a lot by someone’s writing, and one of them is the mentality and mindset (in the sense of maturity) + you can usually tell the way they perceive the world as well as themselves.

Screaming is allowed!! I was so excited to see the Riz one and the article/video is great too. I haven’t seen Viola’s cover though, I need to look out for it!

i need you to know that as i was reading this the vine boom sound effect kept going off in my head (great job this is a job VERY well done)
