Do Not. Respond To My Doylist Criticism With A Watsonian Explanation.

super simple low-effort ao3 summary methods that are 1000% better and 1000% less annoying than just saying you suck at summaries:

copypaste the first few lines of the fic. u already wrote ‘em. let ‘em be their own damn hook

if ur feeling fancy & don’t mind showing ur hand a bit, copypaste the first few lines of the fic that u feel are esp. Important or Interesting - the ones where u first start getting into the real meat of things

state the main tropes! theyre probably already in ur tags - just say them again - maybe as a full sentence if ur feelin fancy. or with a joke if ur feelin Extra fancy

ask a question. pose a hypothetical. eg what happens if u take [character] and put them in [situation]?

make an equation. [character] + [thing] = [outcome]

just write like a one-sentence summary of what the fuck is going down. just one (1) sentence. doesnt matter if it doesn’t cover every important aspect. or if it sounds bland. any summary sentence is gonna be miles better than “idk i suck at summaries”

just…explain the fic like u would to a friend? it doesnt have to be a polished back of the book blurb. it can just be “[pairing] coffee shop au, but like, still with murder, and also i made everyone trans. enjoy”

just stick a meme in there

honestly who cares

just put literally anything but a self deprecating comment in there & ur golden

If i was style i would be thinking jokes and antics to make him smile more

Fadel smiling because of Style, amused at his audacity, finally taken enough to give him a chance.

Regarding the discourse on only friends, I think the fandom has to throw out the idea of who's the villain?.

There's no villain. There's no psycopath or evil mastermind. This is just a show a about 20 something students messing up their life's intentionally or unintentionally , making mistakes and learning from them. No one is right or wrong they are messy and that's the point.

Taylor Swift should be studied. Here's a women who takes each and every one of her emotions, mistakes, triumphs and all other parts of her and makes music out of it, creating something beautiful out of her sorrows. And the whole world wait with baited breath to listen to what a women has to say. From being called over emotional and sentimental to emotionally listening to a album at 3am at the same time as the rest of the world, for once being proud to be vulnerable, connecting with millions of women and their experiences. Becoming one through music. It's so beautiful.

Poetry appeals to our base emotions and makes us week , fuck it Plato it only made us stronger. I don't know what I am writing but I am grateful for this even admist all the controversy surrounding her.

Sooo this happened on tiktok

Genuinely forgotten how to flirt, calling people bro isn't getting me far.

will style be shooting someone????

ok so last night (the night before ep7 dropped) i made this post in which i speculated that style might end up killing someone at some point in the future. after having watched ep7 i'm not so sure style will be outright killing someone (idk if the series would go that dark), but i would NOT be surprised if we saw style shoot someone with a gun (injuring them at least, if not actually killing them)

here's why:

at the rock pub style came into fadel' world and had to do something to blend into that exact world

what else is fadel's world? a pretty big part of fadel's world? his hitman identity. i wouldn't be surprised if style would have to do something to blend into fadel's hitman world. and i have previously considered that the thing would be to shoot someone, and episode 7 just kind of strengthens my suspision

in fact, style might even embrace the hitman life:

but let me take a shot some time, too แต่มึงให้กูยิงบ้างดิ [dtàe - mueng - hâi - guu - ying - bâang - dì] but - you - let - I/me - shoot - some - [particle]

(the official translation is less on the nose: "But you gotta let me play, too.")

and then later in the episode we see him grab a (real) gun and threaten someone without any hesitation whatsoever:

not to mention how completely unafraid he was when fadel was pointing a gun at him, calling him his "teeruk-hitman":

the question is just....

will style be shooting a random person?? like, maybe one of fadel and bison's targets?

or will be shooting fadel?

or will he be shooting kant?

either way, there are a suspicious amount of references to guns and shooting around style
