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.

work was so complicated and stressful today that for a moment I felt myself in a nostalgic flow-state of pure zen labor and I was so confused why I felt that way, then I realized I was feeling nostalgic for Five Nights At Freddy's 2 10/20 mode and had to take a brief break from work to think about why my brain did that

puppy play but i’m some sort of endangered wolf who is sick and injured so a team of medical experts work around the clock to diagnose and fix me and they feed me an ideal diet and post photos of me on social media and everyone says “ooohhh awwwwwwww!!!!” and then i get released back to the wild because it’s the right thing to do and from then on i only occasionally show up on random trail cams and people say “yay!” and they leave me alone

i'm showing this to mom

often people will reblog my multi-paragraph posts and add a comment like “also: [thing I explicitly said in the post]” thus revealing not even a lack of reading comprehension but that they didn’t even read the entire post in the first place before reblogging it with their input and somehow that’s so funny to me bc it’s like we invented a way to interrupt someone without even being in an active conversation.

someone does that and i’m like yeah give me a second i was getting to that (already got to ‘that’ a week ago when i made the post)

UGH! I hate this! Also, I hate how it's like interrupting someone when you're not even having an active conversation. It's like, "Yeah, I was getting to that... last month." Sheesh, right? didn't read the post hate the blog see you next week

y'all emergency preparedness for a crosscountry drive isn't about some unprecedented disaster. i live on an island off the washington coast and it's roughly 3,000 miles to my hometown. i've made the drive multiple times, & the fact is 3,000 miles is just a lot of ground to cover. a lot happens in 3,000 miles. i once drove out of a blizzard only to get walled into a motel for 3 days by a wild fire.

most of my trips have been smooth and even super fun. but not all.

if you've never driven that distance & you've always lived within an hour of basic necessities (hospital, grocery store, etc.) the idea of being hours away from any of those things might seem impossible unless something has gone very wrong but many people live like that all the time and there are plenty of places in the world where you need to prepare for that even if you're just passing through. i genuinely don't think anyone should be driving 3,000 miles without food & water, clothes & a sleeping bag that can keep you safe overnight in extreme temperatures, and basic vehicle skills like changing a tire, checking ur oil & transmission fluid, etc. i know we all do what we gotta do and we can't always prep as much as we want to so it is what it is.

but i don't prep to sleep overnight in a blizzard on a multi-thousand mile drive crossing multiple mountain ranges because i'm a bad driver who doesn't check the weather. i prep because shit happens & being ready for it can be the difference between dying of exposure and watching TikToks comfortably in my backseat while I wait overnight for the storm to blow over (which I have done).

L + Ratio + If you're pretty enough it doesn't snow and you get to your destination without any trouble + Didn't ask + Miss you when are we gonna hang out + Die thanks
