“Mother, why,” Fran deadpans, collapsing.

M.M. gets up, dusting herself off and shooting a glare at Fran. “I’m not your mother. Stop calling me that.”

“Well, obviously,” Fran says. “Chrome’s my mom too. The M in Chrome stands for mom. You’re my mothers. I’m your baby. And you hate me.”

While we’re on the subject of tumblr’s shortcomings as a fandom platform, I want to say one more thing. I’ve been thinking lately about how it’s really important to remember that fandom isn’t just on tumblr, but on AO3 as well. One angle that I don’t see people talking about a lot with regard to commenting on fic is that it’s another level of interaction that I don’t think fandom can live without–not just because it fuels writers, but because it can fuel readers too. 

Over the course of my fandom life, I’ve gradually worked my way up to leaving more and more detailed comments (not necessarily always longer, but definitely more specific) and let me tell you–it’s incredibly rewarding. Just recently, I left a comment that prompted a writer to share a lot more about what they were thinking while writing the fic and to give me a rec for a fic with a similar theme to the one they wrote. Sometimes writers will reply to comments by going into more detail about the headcanons they have for characters or explaining more backstory for a part of the fic that I mentioned liking. I’ve had people follow me here on tumblr after I commented on one of their fics on AO3 (and as a writer, I’ve followed people who have commented on my fic too–if I can find them here), and from that, sometimes new friendships arise.

What I’m trying to say is that the importance of comments as an aspect of fandom interactions can’t be overstated. It’s not just about stroking a writer’s ego. You can get things out of it too, whether it be a new headcanon to think about, an insight into the creative process, or even a new friend. Being specific about the parts of fic you like can give writers the confidence to write more things in the same vein or to write more period. Back in the LJ days, fic and personal posts were all mixed in together, so it was easier to have those kinds of interactions, but now that those worlds are split, I think it’s even more important to remember why commenting is important and what it can do for fandom as a whole.

So next time you’re leaving a comment, I challenge you to view it not as “paying your dues” for reading the story, but as an opportunity to interact with the person behind it. You don’t have to be long-winded. Tell them what your favorite part of it was. Pick out something that was unique about it and ask about their inspiration. Talk about how it made you feel or what it reminds you of. You won’t regret it.

hii can i request 79 and yamabel 👉👈

Of course, thanks for requesting and I hope you enjoy!

Yamamoto taps his fingers against the wheel to the rhythm of the song playing from the radio at a quiet volume. He glances the time from his watch for the millionth time in the last minute - any minute now and he would get to see his boyfriend. Despite having bid their goodbyes the same morning before Bel headed to work and Yamamoto spent most of his day training, his heart fluttered in his chest at the thought of connecting with him again. 

Soon enough he spots a familiar mop of blond hair heading towards his car and slamming the door shut as Bel sits next to him. Yamamoto takes in the tension on his shoulders, the firm pout and crossed arms.

‘’Wow, somebody needs a happy meal,’’ he says and starts the car, driving to the opposite way he was supposed to. Bel huffs at him as a reply - what on earth happened to him at work to get him in such a bad mood?

Dating Bel has taught Yamamoto many things and one of those things is his ability to know when his boyfriend prefers silence over him talking - today is one of those days that Bel prefers to bask in the silence, staring out of the window and spacing out. Yamamoto moves his hand on Bel’s thigh, squeezing it gently as if to tell him ‘’I’m here for you’’. The corners of his mouth tug up when he feels Bel’s hand brush against his - message received.

‘’Where are you taking me?’’ Bel finally asks when Yamamoto makes another turn that’s definitely not where the Varia headquarters are located. 

Yamamoto beams at him as he pulls the car to the drive-through. ‘’I did say someone needs a happy meal, didn’t I?’’

‘’I’m not a child,’’ Bel insists, facing away from his boyfriend to hide his flushed cheeks. 

‘’You’re not,’’ Yamamoto agrees and gives out their order through the speaker - he even knows Bel’s order by heart at this point - and turns to Bel with the fondest smile on his face. ‘’But it never hurts to get some McDonald’s.’’

Me: relationship tropes are boring

Character A: that was the best sleep i’ve had in weeks

Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.

[melindawrites]

I feel like I need an elaborate explanation

[ittybittytatertot]

Often times, I find myself stuck on what a character should say next or what should happen in a scene to connect A to B or so on. When this happens, I fall into the trap of writing and rewriting the same few lines over and over, and becoming more and more dissatisfied every time until I give up. 

But problem is almost never actually whatever line I’m trying to write at the moment; the issue is the stuff leading up to the line. Maybe there are structural issues with the set up, maybe I wrote a bit of dialogue that was out of character leading to a discussion that doesn’t make sense, maybe I’m missing a vital piece of exposition or expositing too much. It could be a lot of things, but the important part of the advice is to look back and be willing to consider changes to something earlier in the work (even if you’re really attached to like a piece of dialogue or a particular sentence or something) instead of trying to find a way to force out a scene that’s not working.

[captainofthetidesbreath]

This also scales up. Act Three problems are actually Act One problems. Whether it’s your line, your scene, your sequence, your act, your structure, it’s usually the same issue: you’re struggling to resolve because you made an error in your set-up.

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

Target 42: The Zoo

[whumpster-dumpster]

Character A tilting Character B’s chin up to get a better look at their face and the evidence of the fight. A delicately thumbs away the streak of blood by B’s mouth, saying nothing as they examine it. After a brief pause, B’s heart skips a nervous beat as A looks them dead in the eyes. Their voice is quiet and tense, their anger barely restrained.
