Tori. Follows/likes from @library-bandit. (This here's a Prodigal Son sideblog, gang. Still in occasional use, may the show rest in peace.) Keeper and protector of Malcolm's forearms. Says "y'all" too much. Makes silly memes. Come say hi anytime! AO3: LibraryBandit

Incorrect Prodigal Son quotes.

There should be an equivalent to asking "how's the wife and kids?" that's like "so how's that fictional man of yours doing?"

I engage with fiction in a normal way. don’t look at my blog

"I sort fics by kudos and only kudos on stories with high kudos counts, why aren't there more stories with high kudos, I ran out of things to read." You're part of the problem.

"Authors artificially inflate comment counts by thanking people, I can't find anything with a real comment count to read." No they fucking are not, they're grateful for engagement.

"I can't read anything under 100k." That's the majority of fics you're ignoring, most novels aren't even that long.

"I don't have time to look for the incredibly rare diamond in the rough, so I won't read anything below a certain amount of kudos, comments, and hits." Those fics are popular because people gave them a chance and then snobs like you found them.

"I won't read anthing with a single typos." You made typos in that sentence, get off your high horse.

"One singular author didn't thank me for commenting, I'm never commenting on any fic again so I don't get burned." You're punishing people because someone didn't give you engagement they don't owe you that they might not have seen.

"This fic is three months old, it's so old, it doesn't matter if I comment or kudos, it's old." Fics do not have expiration dates, comment and kudos.

You're killing your fandoms with your snobbish behaviors.

There are currently 414,472 fics without a single kudos.

2,948,374 under 10 kudos

If anyone was wondering.

the sluttiest thing a man can do is clutch his hand to his side in pain

[cincinnatiburgoo]

I can’t stop laughing at this 🤣😂🤣

[vyvilha]

"I can fix him" not in a "I can make him into a better person" way but in a "if he was my character I would've handled his story better" way

[niofo]

writers be like, i can fix him! *gives him pneumonia* *has him lose a limb* *has him almost drowned* *has him barely avoid execution* here, fixed.

Absence by @prodigalsonheadcanons ✌🏻

[ecto-hazard]

love when stories inflict unspeakable horrors onto a person for no real reason. its not karma. its not payback. its not a lesson. its not your fault. no ones even out to get you in particular. youre not the chosen one or special or anything. it just sorta happened and you were there. sorry man

sometimes I wonder how y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I'm like "why them" but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they're taking up your every thought forever
