If the brothers have chemistry, I'm shipping. If the brothers don't have chemistry, I'm shipping. If there are brothers, I'm shipping. On principle. Ship brothers like you're paid to do it. It's the Brotherwife way.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Make them brothers ^_^

I'm so obsessed with channeling the clone agenda into my DaveRose. Terminal, I fear.

The new community feature enchants me HOWEVER sideblogs aren't supported yet. I daydreamed about an incesties community but I know most of us are sideblogs so 😔 it is not meant to be

brother i’m going to be honest with you. i don’t give a fuck if he’s “redeemable” or not. what is this, the checkout counter? he’s not a fucking COUPON!!!!!

[greelin]

too many of you focus on redemption. BOO!

[workdailylog]

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

[error-404-fuck-not-found]

folks, don't do this one. do not look at kudos count. do not look at comment count. do not look at hits. you read the summary and see if it sounds like your cuppa. multi-chapter fics in particular suffer a lot from inflated hit counts because loyal fans will show up for every chapter, but only get one kudos apiece. literally just read the write-up and if it's bad, you'll know within a minute of clicking on it. give new works and chaptered works a shot

[fractiousrvt]

There is a 38 chapter long story that I love so much I have reread the entire thing 17 times. 646 hits on that story are from ME. A single kudos is also from me.

Read the tags. Read the summary. If it sounds at all potentially interesting, click on it. Start reading. If you don't like it, the back button is right there.

I have taken a chance on a fair few stories that weren't even my usual cup of tea but the summary hinted it might be compelling. Many don't pan out for me, but some have and I'm so glad I gave the author a chance.

My steps:

Find an author you like

Binge their other works (I'm so used to typing Bingge that I had to delete an extra "g" there)

Binge read (that time it was an "h") their bookmarks. If you don't have time for that, relegate them to the pit! (Marked for later)

Repeat process with the authors they've bookmarked

If you choose to mark fics for later all willy-nilly, try these steps as well:

Accrue an unholy amount of fics you've marked for later

Get pissed there's no way to sort and filter your fics marked for later

"Well, if no one else is going to do this, I guess I'll just have to take matters into my own hands"

Scrape all your new "marked for later" fics approximately once a week (the first time WILL be brutal but it gets better)

Clean up the data and export to spreadsheet software of your choice (I use three different spreadsheets to keep track of my shit. Each has its dedicated purpose)

Now you can see what you've started reading, add tags, priorities, and track your marked for later trends.

Congratulations! You now have a mental illness.

Just because you abused the shit out of the airbrush tool when you were 14 does not mean you are banned from using it now. Punishment is over!!

Its a tool! Use it!!!!

Sequel to my Huaisang selfcest fic. Huaisang-ge keeps falling through time throughout Huaisang-di's life and we get to watch them become the same person. After Huaisang's fans are burned. Before the war against the Wen. After Da-ge's death and the grief-stricken years that follow. Confrontation after confrontation: "sometimes I think you're the only one who will ever understand me. Isn't that sad?" Maybe things go further. Seeking comfort, Huaisang-di initiates something.

(And if he closes his eyes, he can almost imagine his older self as his Da-ge.)

Watching jacksepticeye today. Finally on break

Has anyone read any good, psychological, complex BinggeJiu? I really need their dynamic. They should kill each other. Hatred pain and suffering.

In my repertoire of beloved blorbos, I have what I like to call "cuck chair characters", defined as "characters I love dearly but only place in unrequited ships to experience emotional anguish". Third wheels and angst-stricken wingmen. Poor schmucks who couldn't express their romantic feelings held at gunpoint. Characters who grin-and-bear-it through pain delivered in the form of my OTP. Salty bachelors (gender neutral) mourning the one that got away on their deathbed. This has been a recurring theme since I began shipping – I put them through hell because I love them. Because I cherish them. Because of the depth and flavor that a painfully unreturned variety of fascination gives a character. The emotional anguish never goes away. The love is never requited and it's crack cocaine to me.
