I Was Scrolling Through The Shanks Tag And Saw A Post That Was Like "Am I The Only One That HATES Shanks

true. I dont really need comments to keep going since i started writing in the first place just for whatever and never really expect anything but comments do feel nice. Its why i like asks bc getting an ask means that someone liked a fic so much they took the time to write something to request. Comments feels nice. Ofc likes and reblogs are enough but as a fic reader i just wanna say to anyone reading a fic and hesitating to comment, no the author isn't going to think you're cringe if you leave a comment. It doesn't have to be something crazy either the author isn't going to read a 4 word comment or a heart and go "how DARE you." They don't hate you, you aren't cringe and leaving a comment or a reblog with a comment doesn't make you cringe. If theres no comments you aren't going to be weird for being the first, if there's a bunch of comments your comments isn't going to mean nothing, it still matters

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”

Yasopp: Oh hey it's my kid! Haha we should visit him!

Shanks: no.. not the time

*Time passes.*

Yasopp: Wow look my kid's doing well, I wanna see him.

Shanks: Cool

*More time passes*

Yasopp: Hey my kid is literally right there we can-

Shanks: no

"Angst is beautiful, it has amazing storytelling and is more interes-"

YOU LIARRDR

Ay you already know

Sexy ghost costume where its a bedsheet with a shaped hole to stick only your dick and balls out. For boob havers its a hole for each tit.

You're naming all the good things about Shanks as his faults

Sometimes I think about how if Shanks didn’t fucking fumble so hard, him and Buggy would have been an insane duo.

Buggy and Shanks together as pirates would have been a diabolical pair. Gay and powerful.

I can’t even imagine how much cooler Shanks would have been if he took showers and wasn’t an alcoholic lol. The world couldn’t comprehend an even cooler shanks so oda had to nerf him.

When i say i can't handle relationship angst, at least with bad ending, i mean I really really can't handle relationship angst. I'll start crying very easily. Sometimes over very small things. I made up a cheating scenario in my head and ended up having to stop myself from literally crying out in sorrow as i sobbed. More recently i read a smau that included Crocodile and the scenario was like "You wear his shirt" except Crocodile didn't like it and it was supposed to be comedic but it bummed me out, then i started to imagine it in my head and started to despair and i ended up crying sobbing again. To be fair i had stopped taking my meds again (i get lazy to refill the little day by day boxes things, refilled them again 2 days ago bc mood was starting to get really bad) but i know even if i was taking em i would've probably still cried a bit. So unless its platonic or familial angst (though something depressing enough will bum me out a lot) I cant handle it. Strangely enough, whump is an exception. I save whump especially for when im mad or upset, to which i read it and often calm down and can go to sleep.

alright bet it was a close fight too

I keep wanting to grow my hair out more like my brother but i cant make it past decently long before it gets tangled bad and i have to cut it
