Best Addition To This Post Goes Toooooo

Had a hot second where I thought Curious George was trending because every other post on my dash was about the series only to realize that no, it’s not trending, a NATM blog I’m following just keeps rebloging curious George posts

(this is all your fault @secretly-larry-daley /j)

Alors je travaille avec mon ami Chris pour le département du théâtre en notre école, et certains de les acteurs cassent les pieds à moi! J'en ai ras-le-bol avec eux. Un acteur, appelons-le Marc, m'ignore constamment quand je lui demande s'il a le reste de son costume à son maison. NOUS AVONS UNE SEMAINE JUSQU'A LA COMÉDIE MUSICALE!!!! NOUS AVONS BESOIN DE SAVOIR OÙ EST SON COSTUME!!! En tant que responsable des costumes j'ai vraiment besoin de savoir où sont les choses, mais il agit comme si j'étais stupide!!!

Me when there’s 130+ fics for the 2021 TV series “Around the World in 80 Days” starring David Tennant but not a single fic for 2004 movie “Around the World in 80 Days” starring Steve Coogan:

I love ADHD cause I will see one small thing in a big expanse of media, let’s say a ship for example, and then hyperfixate on it for maybe two weeks. I love Autism cause occasionally it will kick in and suddenly instead of said ship being a hyperfixation it’s now a special interest and I need to know absolutely everything about this niche faction of media and consume all the fanart, fanfics, headcannons, and facts about it. Case in point, Jedtavius. I binged all four NATM movies recently (PSA don’t watch the animated one, it sucks) and saw the evolution of Jedediah and Octavius’ relationship throughout, and it became my new hyperfixation. I consumed a bunch of fics, some fanart, and though that was gonna be it…until the special interest kicked in and now I know incredibly too much information about two figures in history that have nothing to do with one another. And that’s not to portray autism or ADHD as being turned on and off like the flip of a switch, they’re always there, it’s just not often that my hyperfixations and special interests overlap surprisingly. Anyways if y’all wanna see me rant about my favorite two tiny gays please let me know. Happy autism awareness month!

I love the NATM fandom because as soon as one person posts fanart all of the NATM blogs are rebloging it. I have the same fanart pop up on my dash six times and I love it so much! We’re such a tight knit community and it makes me so happy!!!

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

guys how do you draw lips on a guy without hyperfemininzing him?????
