1. Like Crazy and People Pt 2:

2. Serendipity and People Pt 2:

3. Serendipity, Like Crazy, People Pt 2, and Shadow:

Oh, and Yoongi said People Pt 2 was about how he felt during the pandemic, and Face is also about the pandemic era, and we know yoonmin went through a rough time in 2020, and all of D’s videos are from that time, and a variation of the back-to-back pose from Spring Day can be found in both Like Crazy and People Pt 2, and “you know, I know” was said between Jimin and Yoongi way back in 2016, and yellow is the color they picked to describe their relationship way back in 2015…

…but I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence [sarcasm].

one of my favorite story elements is "character way past their prime can still absolutely wreck you, leaving you to wonder just how powerful they used to be"

One time in grade 11 I got every answer correct on a math test and the teacher failed it because I didn't use the method we learned in class and it's been nearly ten years and I'm still angry. I'm going to raise my children to fuck the system

[teaboot]

Like the first question I remember perfectly cause it was like "the square has a length of 14". The circle has a diameter of 14". Which has the greater area? Prove your answer"

And obviously they wanted us to calculate the area of each and then use the data to prove the answer

But I was like. "Obviously the square has a greater area, because the circle could fit inside it and the corners would be empty" and I proved it by drawing a scale image like

And it didn't even explicitly SAY to calculate it, so??? Fuck you???? I'm right?????

My kids are going to sing Rage Against The Machine at recess.

"OP has main character syndrome" bitch, this is a post about a personal experience. who are you talking to

[macothelurker]

As a math teacher I say "Fuck that teacher". That's what is wrong with the whole fucking system of teaching math and why people hate it so much.

There is a reason for this though!

The original tweet summarizes it pretty well. Fanfic tends to be popular among certain types of neurodivergent people (aka people most likely to read excessively as a child, and have burnout as an adult) for the same reasons that we tend to hyperfixate–neurochemical signaling (I hope I’m using that phrase correctly). What I mean is, for people who are really dependent on changes in dopamine/serotonin/neurotransmitter levels, who have low levels or wonky neural reward systems (perhaps the most common types of neurodivergence)…people like us rely on dependable external sources of those neurochemicals. In order to function, we spend a lot of our free time trying to level out our brain chemistry using things that can reliably bring us a steady stream of joyful moments (rewards) without costing too much of the mental effort that is already in short supply. 

significantly: the investment of reading has to be balanced with a steady “return on investment”–and this return has to start fairly quickly. because again, we don’t have a lot of attention/energy to invest on tiring things. we have perpetual “low batteries” in that regard.

that doesn’t mean these stories are “simple,” or that they lack complexity or value–only that the reward has to come in short regular intervals, and it has to have a low “upfront cost.” these stories are only “easy” to read in the sense that the effort we put into them is rewarded in a timely manner. which is why fanfic stories are so perfectly formulated for neurodivergent readers–they are often beautifully written, but skip a lot of the upfront costs (of introducing new characters, of world-building, of getting the audience emotionally connected to the story elements).

the nature of fanfiction is that the reader has a pre-existing relationship with this world and these characters. that–combined with the shorter average length of fics–means that fan fics very quickly start rewarding the reader in a way that traditional fiction struggles to. that’s not a bad thing! and maybe it’s something more traditionally published writers should be paying attention to.

Fanfic, as a genre, has been uniquely helpful and accessible to many neurodivergent readers who would otherwise struggle to immerse themselves in stories. I’m glad so many of you have found a way to love and enjoy reading again! The important thing is that you are spending time inside stories you love–the way those stories are published or presented to the world is just one detail. The fact that you find joy in the process of reading (or listening!) to stories–that is what matters.

a bunch of people have reblogged this with the default “i feel called out” reaction….and i know when we say that we mean it tongue-in-cheek….but this comment sorta blew my mind & shifted my perspective up and to the left a little thank you♥

#this 100% happened to me#but i’m a middle aged writer and english teacher with an academic literature background#when i burned out got sick and had a breakdown i couldn’t read regular books anymore i could only read fanfic#i saw on twitter where someone said literature is prescriptive. you read the kind of fiction that fits your personal need#we’re all overwhelmed right now and that’s why we like the tropey fiction whether fanfic or romance novels or superhero movies#we UNDERSTAND the rules of fiction and dont’ have to work to understand while the payoff comes quickly. kiss. hea. battle/victory
