Emet-Selch really loved you so much that even when you weren't deemed worthy of remembrance he still put just as much care and love into preserving his memory of you as he did everyone else, possibly even more. And when the end comes and you have to destroy him and he finally almost sees you as his equal for the first time in thousands of years the only thing he asks is that you do the same for him.

"Remember us. Remember that we once lived."

Remember me, and that for all these years, I remembered you.

i think liking Emet is just a matter of time. you've gotta live long enough and lose enough things in order to start Understanding him. he's just a state of mind and soul that you enter past a certain age

Things that happen in Dawntrail that sound like shitposts:

You are invited to meddle in the affairs of a major political power. These events with extremely serious ramifications for global politics include gardening, animal herding, mountain climbing, and a bake-off.

Night City travels diagonally through time and fuses with a small town in Arizona.

An uplifting Hollywood movie pop-gospel song about unity plays over a montage of you and your friends building a bomb.

You down a suspiciously beaver-themed energy drink and briefly go super saiyan.

The temporally anomalous catboy dad deepthroats two scoops of nothing-flavored ice cream in an attempt to ease the tension at his work friend's family reunion. Somehow, this actually achieves the desired effect.

An AI-generated ghost attempts to burn all of the world's people and resources to extend the life of their metaverse Disneyland for other AI-generated ghosts. In response, you proceed to fight a robotic biblically-accurate angel inside their mind palace.

Dead baby cave.

tipping my hat to all the lorebenders and au enjoyers and canon deniers. HELL YEAH to your Haurchefant Lives au, to your Zenos that joins the Scions, to your rarepairs and enemies-to-lovers and crackships, to your wol!raha (you read that right, G'raha Tia that becomes the wol), to your evil Azem and atrocious Venat, to your wols that are too weak or otherwise unfit (or even dead already), to your wols that use mountains and galaxies as casual ammo, to your cosmic entity that fills the role of the wol but has nothing to do with the canon depiction of wol, to your garlean ocs, to your Aymeric that finally goes on an adventure, to your ocs from the reflections that canon never speaks of, to your grown-up twins, to the dragonfuckers, to the ascian kissers, to the people who have the balls and the whimsy to rewrite the entire msq from scratch. shoutout to creativity that sees canon as more of a guideline.

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"

[berlynn-wohl]

this is directly related to this post I made about how fanfic authors now are treated like content mills, and not like valued members of a creative community who thrive on interaction. for the past decade, we've watched the fandom ecosystem disrupted over and over, as NSFW fan artists seek safety by putting their work behind paywalls, and self-conscious fic readers squirrel away their feelings in invite-only communities

an easy way to do your part to fight against the evils perpetrated by social media is to leave a comment on a fanfic you love

[berlynn-wohl]

but don't take my word for it -- here are some responses that my fellow authors have left on this post:

[mrlarkstin]

The fact I had a fic that was fairly beloved and NO ONE commented on it because it was all being done in a fucking book club server made me want to scream.

I haven't updated that fic in two years now.

[maxima-priscus]

I cannot express enough how imperative it is to show the writer how much you love their work. The comments don't have to be novels themselves - even just an "I loved this so much!" Or keyboard smashing works wonders to keep the writer going. Please, we need to bring back supporting writers and artists now more than ever!!!

[radiant-plumes]

No one is looking, time to shamelessly post lahazem shenanigans

[lockandkeyhyena]

actually we should start headcanoning female characters as being terrible with children

[lockandkeyhyena]

stop mother-ifying fictional literally all female characters. that fictional woman would not know what the fuck to do with a child

one of my favorite pigeon pages slaps HRT over all of their photos which im sure is just the page owner’s initials or something but its funny to think of them as advertising the effects of hormone replacement therapy

[cannibalcaprine-deactivated2024]

estrogen turns you into a pigeon, testosterone turns you into a dove

[radiant-plumes]

I don't know if Tumblr is ready for my self-indulgent lahazem gposes

[nephiieatsuranium]

To listen.

To suffer.

To entrust unto tomorrow.

The fact that the next chapter of this fanfic is going to be delayed because Lahabrea is actively bullying Hephaistos is something I didn't expect.

[radiant-plumes]

This is in fact turning out way hotter than I expected it to be.

[radiant-plumes]

I'm starting to see the end of this chapter but you know what comes next? Editing.

[radiant-plumes]

Happy yaoi day, I'm still working on this

explaining old praetorium to people who never experienced it makes me feel like a crazy person. like yeah there were 8 players there. the tanks pulled every single add so that the rest of the party could hit a button, then they pulled two full hallways of enemies so the party could skip ahead, and sure they usually died but it was prae so that didn't matter.

then after the first boss you had to get on the elevator. all 8 of you. at the same time. yeah if we forgot someone we have to go back. then every single person has to pick up a key to turn on the magitek armor and get on another elevator. hope you didn't miss that one.

nero was whatever but gaius barely did any mechanics, he really just fell over. then you'd have the whole ultima weapon fight, which was two phases and one of them you barely did any damage. oh and at the end you fought lahabrea. if you were lucky he was Lahabread and if he lived more than ten seconds it was a miracle. congrats for spending 45 minutes of your life in prae, have some exp.
