fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’
So, uuuuh, my friend got me to read this series and fucked me over
Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"
OOOOH MY SHAYLA 😭😭😭
i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.
I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.
I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.
If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.
And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.
if kevin behaved the way he did but was covered in scars people would be more sympathetic to him and that’s fucked up
bbg
I have an insane need to see Kevin Day start healing in a way where his healing journey looks like him learning to do things on his own and be comfortable with himself. I want to see him start acquiring skills like pokemon that he just randomly breaks out one day and everyone is like ???? since when do you fucking ice skate Kevin wtf??? It's not that he's necessarily keeping them a secret it's more that he just does them. He learns to play piano. He starts doing things he wants to do, just to simply do them. He finds that life is in fact enjoyable outside of exy (but don't get it twisted it is still his life) but let Kevin Day fall a little in love with life after everything please and thank you
I firmly believe that neil, andrew, and jean, are like that one science in pjo, the titans curse, about kevin.
essentialy,
annabeth (kevin) is not there and the others come across an architectural structure (something history related) that she really likes. without consciously thinking about it, percy, thalia, and grover (neil, andrew and jean) start reciting facts they've heard annabeth (kevin) had rambled about. meanwhile zoe (any outsider, preferably one who doesn't really know Kevin or his history obsession) are staring at the like wtf.
neil, andrew and jean all deny ever listening to his rants.
