Being a words of affirmation person and a writer
Name a more disastrous duo
history really does repeat itself because what do you mean i’m laying in bed staying up til 4am every night reading marvel character x marvel character or marvel character x Y/N fics on tumblr kicking my feet and giggling like it’s 20-fucking-14 again???
I need to know, for science: Fanfic writers, what is a drabble?
Exactly 100 words. The limit is the challenge.
Around 100 words.
Anything less than 1000 words could be a drabble.
Drabble is just another term for one-shot.
Any fic can be a drabble.
A drabble is anything that can fit on a post-it note.
[Sonic Meme] What are you two FUCKING talking about?/show answers
Non-writers also free to weigh in.
There is a correct answer here by the way. I am a drabble purist but I want to know what other people think about this beloved format.
The thing is there is a technical 'right' answer but people who think that this used to be common knowledge that's now lost are confusing "my personal online social circle agreed on what a drabble was" with "everyone used to agree on what a drabble was" because trust me, this is a thing people have always argued over.
I can still remember the fucking drama over the definition of the term drabble that ended up with @copperbadge creating flopsy fest* (and the word flopsy) to cater to a group of people who didn't want to abide by the 'correct' definition but also were tired of fighting with people about what the word drabble meant. And while I don't know that flopsy fest was first created a FULL 20 years ago I do know 15 years ago Sam was archiving multiple years worth of flopsy fests fics on dreamwidth and I can say for sure that people were DEFINITELY fighting about what a drabble was 20 years ago.
*in my memory Sam created flopsy fest BUT as a caveat this was all many many years ago and most of the livejournals that would have been invovled are long gone and it's entirely possible he was just promoting it and somebody else invented it. If anyone has any clearer memories of this feel free to correct me.
EDIT: further perusal suggests that flopsy fest probably was started in 2005 because the drama over what exactly counts as a drabble happened in 2004. I realized there was more details about this in the 2010 dreamwidth post I missed because it was in tiny font.
Yeah, there's a reason I have "drabble" blacklisted on Tumblr.
2004 sounds about right. I believe a reader actually suggested 'flopsy' but it was created on my Livejournal and it was definitely in response to this debate.
The originating event was that I had promised to write a drabble, which by some common definitions at the time was simply a short fanfic, in exchange for each donation to a charity my readers documented. Someone got aggressive about a drabble being 100 words exactly and went through all the comments, word counted every drabble in order to post the Not Exactly 100 Words count of them, and berated me about writing 20+ fanfics for charity. So that was cool.
If you want the exact date of that, it did make fandom_wank on the original LJ community, which you may be able to search, idk if it's still around. The other person got most of the ridicule but not all of it, and being held up for public commentary over it was even more awesome than getting yelled at on my own journal for it, let me tell you. Great week to be me.
In any case, I've given up fighting about both the current and historical use of it -- life's too short, and the people who vocally insist "is and always was universally 100 words" tend to be unpleasant about it on multiple axes. There's not even really a live-and-let-live situation because people assert that the looser definition devalues the more rigid one, since in their view writing 100 words exactly is a unique and difficult thing to achieve. The less said by me about that the better, perhaps, but quod erat demonstratum the debate goes on with or without me, and has for many years.
I apologize for bringing up bad memories! Honestly my memories of the 2004 drabble wank are much fuzzier than the resulting fallout, I wouldn't have tagged you if I'd remembered how awful the whole thing was. It just drives me crazy how much gen x/millennial age fans tend to mythologize LJ era fandom. There are parts I miss a lot but like... a lot of it was not any different from how things are now, people have just memory hole'd the bad stuff.
Oh gosh no -- no worries, I was being sardonic because I wanted to make a point about the length of the debate to back up your post, not because I'm still smarting over it. I can look back now and laugh -- yes it was awful at the time but that was fandom then, not you bringing it up now.
And it's experiences in fandom like that which helped give me a sense of perspective about certain things -- not even "the definition of a drabble", more like "how to interact with fandom when your experiences in it are outlier". We're good :)
in the end all you have is yourself, your comfort fictional characters and archive of our own
“The final pages of the report include a few… interesting details.”
The silent rage you can hear in just that one word from Deku… phew bro has never once been chill about Bakugou getting injured so for the commission to wipe that and all the other work study students contributions out??? The crashout was completely justified
no way ppl are using ai to write ao3. what happened to being a tortured writer. what happened to blood on the page. what happened to the ao3 curse. people used to get run over, have their houses burned down, break their entire spines and they still put in the work to finish a chapter. fuck you, using ai. y’all are weak
pretty fucked up of horikoshi to not tag ‘unrequited love’ in his fic if you ask me
all i’m saying is if izuku midoriya were a female main character bkdk would be shipped by EVERYONE
all I’M saying is if izuku midoriya were a female main character izuku would’ve joined bakugous agency in a HEARTBEAT
went MIA because life has literally been drop kicking me in the teeth but i’m clawing my way back on here to let you all know the bnha epilogue that came out is my final boss and i have lost
rip see you guys in the next life
all i’m saying is if izuku midoriya were a female main character bkdk would be shipped by EVERYONE
bakugo katsuki calling todoroki shouto princess SUPREMECY
the blondes from that one episode ⭐️
here's my yearly reminder to you all that best jeanist is my third least favorite character in all of my hero academia.
O M G i am SO glad you asked
(i am running a 102 fever so this is probably going to be hot mess... sorry in advance)
Before we dive in, let me make a few things clear:
Bakugou had a really bad attitude problem
Someone needed to hold him accountable for his behavior and help him figure out and process why he was behaving and feeling the way he did
I am not condoning how his behavior at all
Let’s also have a QUICK reminder of the shit that has happened so far before the internships:
Katsuki has been in the sludge villain attack
Katsuki was chained to a concrete pillar, hands bound, and MUZZLED on national (was it national it might not have been but still televised nonetheless) TV, in front of a huge stadium, that already booed him for one of his previous matches, and all of his peers because he didn’t believe he won fair and square and he wanted a rematch. (and honestly I can understand that logic there and isn’t that something you want from a future hero? Someone who is striving so hard for success, they want a rematch for a fight they technically one so they can prove they deserved it???)
His no.1 rival who used to be quirkless suddenly isn’t and is now starting to surpass him and he’s having a lot of big feelings about it (AGAIN not condoning the behavior he exhibited towards Izuku)
Now *cracks knuckles* lets begin
So Best Jeanist, the number four pro hero, actively sought out Katsuki after the sports festival. And even though Katsuki didn’t feel he rightfully won, hey the no.4 pro hero wants HIM, and he’s not going to turn down that opportunity. And he goes, expecting to learn and instead we get the following interaction:
Katsuki was only picked because Best Jeanist doesn’t like him, they’ve only had good candidates (implying Katsuki is bad), and Best Jeanist just wants to reform him to show him what it takes to make a hero because he had the side of a villain in him. (this is the manga interaction between them, but also lets remember that in the anime, he gets restrained. AGAIN.) Like can you imagine being sought out for an internship and getting there only to be told you're there not to learn but to be reformed because you suck that much?
Katsuki is arrogant, he has a pride problem and a massive inferiority complex and that needs to be taken care of. But looking at a kid who already has people calling and treating him like a villain by restraining him constantly and reaffirming that to him?
“Sorry I don’t like you and you’re only here because you are bad and have villainous traits.” Like yes saying “You are not THE shit Bakugou, lets work on that,” great let’s take that approach, is so much different from saying “You ARE shit Bakugou, I need to change everything about your personality.” And that’s exactly how I feel this went down.
You can’t convince me that those statements didn’t stick with him and fuck him up, especially when the LoV kidnap him because they want him to join them, especially when he feels he’s responsible for All Mights retirement. Like maybe if he hadn’t seemed like such a villain, he wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped and then All Might would still be a hero and none of this wouldn’t have happened.
Like I can get behind Best Jeanist wanting to work on Katsuki’s pride and arrogance because it is a problem, but to go in hard from the villain aspect just ugh idk it rubbed me the wrong way. Like there are ways to go about it that isn’t massively damaging to him.
ALSO this is so not relevant and definitely a me thing but with Katsuki you know what you’re getting. He is blunt and honest and full of pride and doesn’t hide what he thinks for one second. Best Jeanist has this aura of like “I am better than you but I am humble about it” and that fake humble bs really just pisses me off for no reason lmao. Like just tell me you think you’re better than me than trying to act like some fake ass humble jean jesus or whatever.
(and this is a whole other rant not necessarily against Best Jeanist but Katsuki reveling his character name and hia reaction being ‘child’ like yeah… it’s almost as if they’re still children… fighting in a war…)
I have more I could add and this could be 1000% more coherent but again I am running a 102° fever and running off of cold meds, delirium, and rage so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
izuku in heroes rising saying ‘i’ll see you at UA one day’ to katsuma is some really sick and twisted foreshadowing
here's my yearly reminder to you all that best jeanist is my third least favorite character in all of my hero academia.
