people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago
Bringing this out of the tags:
A fic written 2 years ago is NOT OLD. Two years is nothing. Two years ago was yesterday.
Also I don’t care if a fic is 10 years old. Leave those comments!! Even if you think the author isn’t active, or moved on from the fandom, I promise you it will make them smile.
I commented on a fic that was 11 years old, and there was already a response by the time I got up the next morning. Comment on the fics, please, comment on them, I promise it’ll make the author’s day either way
I got a comment on a fic of mine this week that just read “TWO THOUSAND AND NINE?”
I replied to it within seconds, of course. someone commented on my fic
(transcript: Every time someone comments on my old fic, i feel like I’m an old actor getting paid residuals. Appreciate you, old-fic-commenters. Key source of emotional income, tbh.)
Firstly, I wanted to clarify that this wasn’t my idea—I found it in a reaction image folder with a typo, so I fixed the typo and reposted. I assume it was from someone in the Murcielago tag, but damned if I can find the original poster now.
Secondly, to the people who keep tagging this as “margaret thatcher,” I respect the grind.
Thirdly, to the blessedly few people who have tagged this with men, please consider commenting instead on literally any other post.
the way chic online “neets” latched onto tomoko and konata (and by proxy the way they’re depicted in ironic fanart) betrays such a fundamental misunderstanding of both lol
this is so so so SO much worse with lain, but I’m not even touching that. these aren’t even the same characters anymore on a basic level
the characterisations just feel so ungenerous. konata isn’t mean or dumb, tomoko enjoys her friends’ company and wants a better life for herself, and lain is… well in pop fandom, nothing remains of lain and nobody cares about her personality, which is oddly fitting
they’re like the gay little weeaboo version of a punisher skull on the back of your pickup truck
which sucks! because tomoko should be the gay little weeaboo version of a “my other ride is your mom” sticker below a lesbian flag
Mythbusters ended too soon. I feel like The Cask Of Amontillado is exactly the myth they would have tested.
Like, figuring out how long it takes the mortar to dry. Finding the maximum amount of time before knocking down a recently built brick wall. Establishing the best place on a recently bricked wall to topple it and escape.
And then, doing all of that while drunk.
Mythbusters, you left us too soon.
actually, they made that episode – I have a copy of it in my basement, wanna see?
