YOU THERE! YES YOU! FIC READER!
I just read a fic from 2013 and left a comment on the end. The author responded within 3 hours.
Please leave comments on fics. It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say I literally made a joke about a space worm. Please comment on fics it'll make the authors day even if its from 9 years ago.
AGREED AGREED AGREED. i think about this all the time-- like the fact that mello lacked all the funding, all the government clearance and assistance, and ability to move freely that near had, and STILL managed to match near, and even overtaking him at some parts of the case, shows how insanely fucking smart and impressive he is
not to forget that near started off with backing and equipment but mello also had to join and take over the mafia since he ran away
I constantly think about the fact that if you ask a death note fan who is the #1 successor to L, they will say Near without a beat most likely, when in actuality, there was never a choice made so Mello and Near are on the same level and mello was just never given the time of day and it makes me so upset

what do you mean 244 and seongjoon spent one month together on the ship and seongjoon probably wore 244s clothes all the time and when they were on land they went on a date and seongjoon wanted to know 244 because when they first fought he noticed how theyre the same but he realized 244 is completely empty and he thought he is just a tool to 244 but then he got hurt and one of the crew said 244 was worried about him and must care about him which he never does which means he was hovering over knocked out seongjoon worried sick because he was injured and they had yet another fight and seongjoon was in jail all the time but he went out with the only clothes he had which were 244 and he just came crawling back on his knees for 244 asking to be taken back by him even though all the shit they went through and 244 gently asked him if hes okay with being together even though one of them will end up date and seongjoon STILL agreed to it and they were together for so long being partners and being comfortable around each but probably still just waiting for the moment they will fall apart bc they went into the relationship knowing theyre toxic for each other and then 244 filed a divorce and just sent a bunch of killers after him and sabotaged him but told him he'll wait for him for coffee and then hE DID JUST FOR SEONGJOON TO NEVER RETURN AND THEIR GAME WAS JUST OVER LIKE THAT ?!??!
I finished my Rome book and have now begun one about Pompeii. Iām 65 pages in and I already love it: yes, it covers the volcano, but most of the book is about āthis is what the town and daily life of it would have been like, actually.ā Fascinating stuff. Things Iāve learned so far:
- The streets in Pompeii have sidewalks sometimes a meter higher than the road, with stepping stones to hop across as ācrosswalks.ā Iād seen some photos before. The book points out that, duh, Pompeii had no underground drainage, was built on a fairly steep incline, and the roads were more or less drainage systems and water channels in the rain.
- Unlike today, where ādining outā is expensive and considered wasteful on a budget, most people in Pompeii straight up didnāt have kitchens. You had to eat out if you were poor; only the wealthy could afford to eat at home.
- Most importantly, and I canāt believe in all the pop culture of Pompeii this had never clicked for me: Pompeii had a population between 6-35,000 people. Perhaps 2,000 died in the volcano. Contemporary sources talk about the bay being full of fleeing ships. Most people got the hell out when the eruption started. The number who died are still a lot, and itās still gruesome and morbid, but itās not āan entire town and everyone in it.ā This also makes it difficult for archeologists, apparently (and logically): those who remained werenāt acting ānormally,ā they were sheltering or fleeing a volcano. One famous example is a wealthy woman covered in jewelry found in the bedroom in the glaridator barracks. Scandal! She must have been having an affair and had it immortalized in ash! The book points out that 17 other people and several dogs were also crowded in that one small room: far more likely, they were all trying to shelter together. Another example: Houses are weirdly devoid of furniture, and archeologists find objects in odd places. (Gardening supplies in a formal dining room, for example.) But then you remember that there were several hours of people evacuating, packing their belongings, loading up carts and getting out⦠maybe the gardening supplies were brought to the dining room to be packed and abandoned, instead of some deeper esoteric meaning. The book argues that this all makes it much harder to get an accurate read on normal life in a Roman town, because while Pompeii is a brilliant snapshot, itās actually a snapshot of a town undergoing major evacuation and disaster, not an average day.
- Oh, another great one. Outside of a random laundry place in Pompeii, someone painted a mural with two scenes. One of them referenced Virgilās Aeneid. Underneath that scene, someone graffitiād a reference to a famous line from that play, except tweaked it to be about laundry. This is really cool, the book points out, because it implies that a) literacy and education was high enough that one could paint a reference and have it recognized, and b) that someone else could recognize it and make a dumb play on words about it and c) the whole thing, again, means that thereās a certain amount of literacy and familiarity with āRoman pop cultureā even among fairly normal people at the time.
Death Note AU where hbomberguy makes a five hour long video about youtuber Light Yagami that's initially completely unrelated to the murders (Light would probably plagiarize or have really unhinged right-wing political takes if he was on youtube)
but halfway through he reveals that while researching he stumbled upon evidence that Light might be behind the Kira murders, and then spends like fourty minutes explaining the concept of a shinigami, an hour explaining how he thinks Light used one to commit murders, and then another hour explaining Light's ideology and why the concept of criminals being inherently evil is flawed
He finishes the video by addressing Light directly and telling him that he (Hbomberguy) had his name legally changed before uploading the video, to something that only he knows, making it impossible for Light to kill him
Jong-woo: I'll kill you! Moon-jo: Is he flirting with me? š
