the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
It kills me that I can’t leave multiple kudos, and frankly, if you held my attention for a whole chapter, you get the kudos. It’s hard to put your writing out there, it’s so vulnerable, and when you’re in that state, it’s easy to interpret silence as apathy at best, active dislike at worst.
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.
How am I supposed to be normal when Vander told Vi “whatever happens it’s on you” days before he died and she carried that for seven years before anyone told her that what happened to her sister wasn’t her fault
help meeeeee
‚I’ve got you‘
november…
I was waiting for a comment like this to turn up, actually a little surprised it took this long.
Leave Me Shameless is not gonna be everyone's jam. It is not a mass appeal fic. It is intentionally problematic. But I'm proud of it all the same.
Also, if you go looking for A/B/O fics, read the very descriptive tags, and then go ahead and read 11 chapters of what you have willingly sought out and spent a decent amount of time reading, I hate to break it to you buddy.
We're both mentally ill.
And I guess I did write it good, if you stuck with it for 66,000 words.
The soft/hard duality of Vi is maybe my favorite thing about her characterization. It's evident in everything she does.
i think the way the creators made vi have the two sides of her face represent her personality so distinctly is the most creative and perfect way they could of gone with her character design, one side is unscarred and hidden by her hair; can be shown how she’s gentle and able to be vulnerable to those she’s closest with, but only if she feels safe to let her guard down, the other side is scarred and revealed; how she’s portrayed herself to everyone, the strongest, the one who protects, emotionless, brave, and hot-headed altogether. her story lies just by looking at her, and i think that’s beautiful.
I did it. I finished a story. It's the first multi chapter story I've ever completed. It's the length of a novel. I could write a novel.Of course this one is unpublishable. But if you'd like a bit of problematic A/B/O smut that is dark and angsty and also nice and fluffy, and if you've been dying for some transmasc representation, and if you do not know me IRL and don't speak to anyone who does....
