hello, filo moots here! just slowly getting back on writing and moved to twitter!

Commenting fanfiction is the easiest thing in the world once you start doing it.Â
I leave a comment on every single fic I read. Sometimes when I read published books I go and leave a comment somewhere the author can find it. Granted, I literally majored in âleaving comments on ficsâ (English Education), but once you start doing it it just becomes second nature. Now youâre gonna go to the Ozymandias school of leaving comments:Â
Problem: I canât leave kudos again.
Beginner: This is a second/third/fourth Kudos
Advanced: This is my second/third/fortieth time reading this, I still love it so much. Here are a few new things I noticed. I like the way you personally do x, y, z compared to other authors Iâve read (in this ship/genre/fandom).
Problem: I donât know what to say :(
Beginner: Just list what you did to read this fic. âI stayed up late reading thisâ, âI read this on a crowded trainâ, âthis kept me company while sickâ.Â
Advanced: X,Y,Z parts made me get butterflies, and I had a physical reaction to this part of the story, I squealed outloud when characters did x,y,z. I blushed at this part. I laughed out loud here. Whatever.Â
Problem: Iâm embarrassed to leave a comment (what if I annoy the author?)
Beginner: Short answer: you wonât EVER annoy the author (unless youâre needlessly mean) But to start, be generic, you donât have to spill your soul in the comments section. âI liked thisâ âI enjoyed reading thisâ ânice ficâ.
Advanced: This really meant a lot to me that you wrote this. This is something I feel like Iâve always wanted to read. This fic hit me in all the right places. Etc.Â
Problem: I donât know how to express myself/my experienceÂ
Beginner: My beginners go to is to highlight a line, put that in your comment and say âi liked thisâ or to identify basic emotions you had while reading and comment those âthis made me happyâ âthis part made me sadâ âi almost criedâ âyou made me laughâ Advanced: âHighlighted lineâ This line made me smile because it has to do with character development/itâs really romantic/itâs so unique/itâs moving. Sometimes I donât highlight a line at all, I just talk about the stuff Iâve noticed were unique to the fic. âI love the way you did this particular thing with this characterâ.Â
This? This is an amazing post. This is the Captain Awkward of commenting postsâit addresses all your fears directly and gives you actionable scripts for each one.
doing this will make authors / writers love you forever.
Hey, if you have no choice but to infodump, always use characters, never the narrator to tell things to the reader.
This way, if you got something wrong and someone points it out later, you can argue that this character in particular was lying/misremembering/was ignorant of the exact details. You, the author, obviously knew what the real facts were all along.
*shoves plothole inside other less noticeable plothole* *throws a rug over it* My characters are dumb but i in fact am god
You. You get it.
the feminine urge to be everything you've ever dreamed of
I've seen a lot of autistic/adhd people complaining about "arbitrary tone indicators," stuff beyond /s and /j.
And yes, /s and /j is super helpful for us, because it's hard for us to tell when people are being sarcastic.
The thing is, all the entitlement I see in "stop using other tone indicators!!" makes me a little upset because not all tone indicators are for autistic and adhd people.
Please understand that.
For example: /nm (not mad). If you have autism, you might see that and think, "I can tell that you're not mad, why are you using it?"
Same with /nbh (nobody here). That one's used after a vent like "oh my god someone is pissing me off" in a chat or server so that people don't think they're being vaguely talked about.
The thing is, those two tone indicators are super helpful for people with anxiety disorders. Or any other disorder that might make you think that others are mad about you and talking about you when they aren't.
I might be autistic but I also have generalized anxiety and it's so helpful to me when I see people confirm that they're not mad, they're not talking about me.
And if you're autistic/adhd and you really don't want to learn other tone indicators? No one can make you, of course. But please don't stop people from trying to make life a little easier for other people.
NTs feel free to reblog!
Good morning! Iâm salty.
I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. Itâs a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that youâre emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
âChildren are going to lie about their ageâ is probably true, but thatâs the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If youâre not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, donât fucking click through this. And if you do, for all thatâs holy, donât blame anyone else for it.
This needs to be reblogged today.
My good people, I give you: Amatonormativity.
Transcript (with spaces added for accessibility):
âYou and this perfect person, who youâve never met before, to come out of nowhere, fit into your life perfectly, complete you, and make you whole for the first time in your life, like your mother did for me.â
And even though what he said sounds sweet and whatever, the way it manifested to my seven-year-old self is, âIf you are not with someone, you are broken. If you are not with someone, you are incomplete. If you are not with someone, you are not whole.â
And thatâs not just something that my dad made me feel, thatâs something that we as a society for the last 40 years has made every single child feel. Every Disney prince has a princess, every princess has a prince, and every television show or movie always has a character in it that doesnât want to be in a relationship. Theyâre happy with who they are. But guess what, by the end of the series? They were wrong! They were wrong for wanting to be alone, the fucking idiot!
Itâs all to do with love. Everyone needs someone. And when you raise children in that world, where everything points towards love, when youâve raised them for 18 fucking years, when you become an adult for the first time in your late teens and early 20âs, weâre so terrified.
Weâre so trying to be an adult that some of us will take the wrong person, the wrong jigsaw, and force them into our jigsaws anyway. Iâm going to force this fucking person into our lives because itâs much better to have something than nothing.
Then five years later, youâre stood looking at this jigsaw you donât recognize, being like, âAh! Thereâs a fucking cunt in the middle of this!â And in that moment, you have a very, very difficult question to ask yourself. Do I admit the last five years of my life have been a waste? Do I waste the rest of my life?
My generation has become so obsessed with starting the rest of their lives that they give up the one that theyâre currently living. We have romanticized the idea of romance, and it is cancerous. People are more in love with the idea of love than they are with the person they are with. The worst thing you can do with your life is to spend it with the wrong human being.
Just saw a TikTok where this bi woman was like,
âIâm a woman-leaning bisexual and you know what pisses me off? The fact that Iâm dating a skinny white man and I love him and Iâm happy, like what the fuck.â
And I just have to say. What pisses me off as a bisexual woman is that TikTok.
This is the Woke version of âmy wife is the olâ ball and chain, doesnât it suck to be married,â jokes. Itâs not funny. Your queerness is not negated or tarnished by opposite-gender attraction, dating men isnât inherently worse than dating women.
Love your partner.
Cherish them.
For fucks sake.
So much this. Iâve had a rant building for a while and it looks like todayâs the day.
Iâm getting REAL SICK of that âbisexual means Iâm attracted to all women and two menâ joke. Iâm getting equally sick of the implication, in a thousand ways, that men are bad and itâs inherently worse to be attracted to them. If youâre a woman or woman-adjacent and you fall in love with a man, thereâs this horrible and easy-to-internalize idea that youâre taking the lesser option.
Like yâall. Yâall? You know thatâs gender essentialist radfem bullshit, right?
If you didnât, Iâd like to gently suggest you consider the idea that âMen are problematic (read: sinful) and violent, women are pure, beautiful and lovingâ is just conservative Christian ideology in a gay hat. We are not advancing towards equality for all genders by flipping which end of the scale is The Bad One âą.
Iâm bisexual. I make a point of talking about being queer (because itâs my identity and culture, and thatâs important to me), and I present mostly in the androgynous area of the spectrum. People often assume Iâm only/mostly interested in women.
Thatâs actually not true. I like all genders, but when it comes to specific people, Iâm most often attracted to men. And it makes me sad â really, genuinely sad â how many times Iâve felt ashamed to talk about that. Even though Iâm not a woman, liking a man has made me feel ânot queer enough.â Hell, some days it still does.
Iâm gonna say this, even though I know a lot of people wonât like it. And I will also say in advance that I am not accepting criticism and I donât argue on the internet as a personal mental health policy.
That said, here is the statement: This too is a closet.
Anytime youâre ashamed to admit to liking someone because theyâre the âwrongâ gender, anytime falling in love is treated like a disappointment instead of a celebration, I donât care who you are or who your partner is, that is a FUCKING CLOSET. And I would appreciate it if we could STOP PUTTING PEOPLE IN THOSE.
Honestly, shit like that should be seen for the relationship red flag it is.
If youâre a man, absolutely do not date someone who thinks their attraction or affection for you is something they ought to be ashamed of.
And regardless of your gender, avoid women who subscribe to the idea that women can do no wrong and are inherently pure and safe because holy fuck is that an easy and gaslighty shield to hide behind for abusers. Iâve heard a variation of that story too many times to think thereâs not a correlation there.
Amen to that. And âitâs a jokeâ isnât the excuse people think it is.
ppl be acting like being attracted to men is a disease
Hi I used to make these jokes too and itâs absolutely because of how fucking shitty the lgbtqia community has been towards bi women. I felt like I HAD to downplay my attraction to men in order to reassure people that Iâm not straight.
Thatâs fucked up. Y'all need to observe your behavior and wonder if youâre contributing to the shit that makes bi women feel like theyâre not good enough.
3 am is such a powerful time. there are people sleeping. there are people partying. there are people having a movie marathon. there are people crying. there are people loving. there are people dying. there are people living. toegther at 3 am.

Hey, itâs Hershey. We already got our first exciting fan letter! Letâs see what it says
Itâs from Forrest. Hi, Forrest! You suggested that we should delete our account on July 17th, 2021.Â
Well Forrest, I have a suggestion for you. On July 17th, 2021, I suggest you start running.Â
HELLO????
IS THIS PART OF THE CAVES AND CLIFFS UPDATE TOO??????
FUCK
quick psa
Love trianglesâoverused and boring trope, right?
Wrong, you just need to get more creative. So buckle up fandom members and tired writers, letâs talk love triangle alternatives.
The Classic Love Triangle, aka the Love V
This is your Bella/Edward/Jacob, your Katniss/Peeta/Gale. Itâs been done and overdone. Person A has two people interested in them, and they have to pick which one they like best. Boring!! Letâs spice it up.
The True Love Triangle
To make a REAL love triangle, we need to close the last side. Now all 3 people involved are part of their own classic love triangle. If two people end up together, the third will be double crushed because they just lost both of their potential love interests to each other. Now weâre talking.
This is like Harry/Cedric/Cho, Luna/Neville/Ginny (although not quite since itâs not all at the same time)
The Rivalry Turned Romance
Person A is just minding their own business, uninterested in both person B and person C. Person B and C both like person A though, and somewhere along the way, their rivalry turns into a romance. Think about when Alya and Nino got trapped in the panther cage and fell for each other because they had so much (their mutual crush on Marinette) in common. This is the superior love triangle, tbh.
The Double Love Triangle
Weâre back to classic love triangle land, but weâre spicing it up by adding another one!! One of the people in the classic love triangle is in another classic love triangle. Percy has to choose between Annabeth and Rachel, Annabeth has to choose between Percy and Luke (*gags at mention of luke*). This can end in two couples or in one couple and two lonely people.
The True Double Love Triangle
Ooh whatâs this? Itâs Miraculous Ladybug, of course. Person A (Marinette) likes Person C (Adrien), but she also likes Person B (Luka). Person C (Adrien) likes Person A (Marinette) and D (Kagami). BUT!! If we add in Marigami and Lukadrien, thereâs our true love triangles coming out. Of course this chaos is in Miraculous because not a single character in this show this love triangle is straight.
The Bachelor
I honestly canât think of a good example in any fandoms Iâm in for this scenario, but itâs pretty simple: person A has a plethora of potential love interests to choose between.
The Bachelor With Internal Love Triangles
The love interests got tired of waiting for person A to choose one of them and started showing interest in each other.
The Bi Panic/Irene Adler/I am just overall frustrated that these two people are dating or into each other
Person B and C are into each other, maybe already in a relationship, and person A likes both of them (unreciprocated). This is kind of like Irene Adler having an affair with both people in a marriage, except they would have both been into her too. A better example is when my crush in 7th grade started dating the girl that I didnât know I had a crush on because I still thought I was straight.
The Plus One, aka the Johnlock
Person A and B are in a confirmed and committed relationship (John & Mary Watson), but one of them is not so secretly in love with Person C (Sherlock).
The Awkward Plus One
This is a similar situation to the plus one, but itâs just person C having an unrequited crush on someone in a relationship. For example, Nico having a crush on Percy, who is with Annabeth. Briseis loving Patroclus who is with his soulmate Achilles.
I was going to include the Marinette/Adrien/Ladybug/Chat Noir love square but honestly wtf is that mess and how did those fools manage to have a love triangle between two people?
Some internet language things I really like:
Phrases like âthatâs certainly a thingâ, âitâs so shapedâ, or âone of the most animalsâ (is there a name for this?)
when people write with little to no punctuation like they are just so done
More specifically, asking questions without punctuation i.e. âwhatâ or âwhyâ. Itâs like, you want to know but also you are resigned to the answer?
When people capitalise The Thing for emphasis - particularly if they add a trademark symbol to really drive The Pointâą home
How we use both bold and italic text for emphasis, but they convey it in different ways and I canât quite explain how
Responding to things exclusively with punctuation, because sometimes words fail you and all you can say is !!!
