i decided to draw brocedes because i love suffering
I hate hate hate people like this. I understand how hard burnout can be, I understand how nice it is to see the engagement and the people who have positive feedback to give. But to beg, nay, demand that everyone who read and liked the work write practically an essay outline is abhorrent behaviour from an artist. Keep in mind that this was a commission fic, so someone was paying her anyway. The sad thing is that she is a really talented writer, she’s just writing for a sort of dead fandom and expecting everyone to cater to her ego.
There was a story of hers that I was reading a few years ago and on like the fourth chapter she left an end note that essentially said “I haven’t been getting enough praise so I’m not going to update for a while, maybe I will if I get more comments, kudos aren’t enough.” As a freelance writer, or someone who writes in a fandom without compensation, it’s absolutely elating to hear that there are people reading and enjoying what you write. But in no way are you entitled to praise just for writing something. It’s hard to put your heart and soul into something you love without anything in return, but that’s why you should be writing. You should be writing because *you* love what you write, not because you want praise. If you write only for the praise of other people then your writing will always be unfulfilled, and your ego will never be stroked enough. You are owed nothing by strangers on the internet, and you owe them nothing in return. Something as personal as writing should only be done to service yourself, and any people who praise you and like your work along the way are extra. And if you feel so entitled to praise for your writing then you have made your writing as soulless as ai
-Sincerely, a writer
EDIT: Apparently I lied. She’s not a great writer. Reading this fic of hers is nearly impossible. She has no idea how to use punctuation, especially the comma, way too many em-dashes to insert a side note, and she uses the word “and” way too many times.
In addition: -She misused the word “rune” when she really meant “character”.
-This shit is so boring and the expositional tangents that she goes on distract from the actual story
-Many typos that impede ease of reading
-Sentence structure that needs re-reading many times to understand
-Changing tenses, sometimes in the same sentence
-Run on sentences that sometimes last a paragraph
-Adds DeadDove elements such as rape, torture, gore, and violence and then acts as if she’s above stuff like that in her notes
-Overuse of the word “as” to replace “because” or “since”
-She held the epilogue hostage in exchange for praise about the entire work and then after posting it, in the end notes, admits that she heavily debated *not* posting the *already written* chapter because of the lack of comments
Keep in mind that this is not the same fic as the one she took a break from posting because of the low amount of comments. And in the end notes of every chapter she begged, borderline demanded, compliments and comments for the chapter and work in whole.

Fixed it
we used to have real teammate battles in f1, here's onboard of the contact which is spa 2014, since everyone only ever remembers barcelona 16. funnily enough yet again a redbull driver won from mercs fighting it out, being daniel ricciardo here
and nico's response on his youtube from a lake for some reason
'I've been told what lewis said in the press and his version of events...'
i'm going through this season with the mentality of anything that's okay to happen to or to wish to happen to Lando is okay to happen to or to wish to happen to Oscar.
Zak Brown laughs and says it was good Lando's brakes failed? Good. Hope it happens to his boy toy Oscar.
Zak Brown laughs about Lando hitting a wall (in a car they admit is the antithesis of everything he's asked them for and exactly what Oscar has asked them for)? Good. Hope it happens to his boy toy Oscar.
Lando fans have listened to F1 fans, especially fans of Australian drivers, wish everything from mechanical failures to injury-inducing crashes to even death on Lando since 2021. Now that the team's CEO has joined in, I'm done getting told Lando fans can't return fire without being "toxic." Fuck that bullshit. If you're not okay with Lando fans subjecting your driver to that treatment, stop participating in that treatment towards Lando and call it out instead of giggling about it when the team's leadership is inciting that treatment.
Oscar isn't special. If it's okay for it to happen to or to wish for it to happen to Lando, it's okay for it to happen to or to wish for it to happen to Oscar.
