Karma

Space for me to rant about fanfics or anything I so desire!

Instead of coffee shop AU make retail AUs.

Why?

The joy of working such an awful job just to meet a customer who frequents your work and is LOVELY and talkative genuinely is a highlight to my day sometimes. I’ve met a handful of customers that are AMAZING! Everytime they come in we talk and we joke it’s such a nice deviation from the usual smile and be polite.

If you are ever lovely to a retail worker we remember for AGESS. I love all the respectful and friendly customers (though I do enjoy the conflict of someone being rude).

I NEED TO WRITE ONE NOW!!

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

I only ever read x Readers because I hate the idea of MY faves being with anyone else. Every so often I’ll be fooled, played like a fiddle.

The tags: (character)/Reader.

I get excited, start messaging my friends informing my village that I’ve found something. They all cheer. I’ve been looking for weeks for some new material to satiate my hunger.

The first chapter is beautiful. There’s no mention of F/n or Y/n to be seen. Perhaps I missed the tag where they don’t use it.

Then I’m brutally reminded.

People tag Canon/Oc as Canon/Reader.

Devils.

I’m once again dragging myself back to my little hole.
