this video has been making the rounds for some time, but ironically since the actual message was so important i was debating whether it even belonged on this funny little stupid old man fucker brainrot blog. lately, though, it’s been harder to just retreat and ignore all the reactionary noise out there while everyone’s playing political football.
so here you go. pinned too while we’re at it. because i think more people should keep this in mind.
Again, I know this is just some Silly Haha Fanblog with not many followers and we're all here out of a shared fondness for a certain thespian, not for Hot Geopolitical Takes.
But if you allow me to break out of the gimmick for another second: it genuinely has been terrifying to see firsthand how, especially post 10/7, everything gets divided into pro this and anti that and are you a good Jew (who calls for the State of Israel to be wiped off the map) or a bad Jew (who doesn't, thus it automatically makes you a genocide apologist regardless of your actual opinions about the current Israeli government and/or Palestinian self-determination)? Almost like there's no room for anything other than extremist sentiments, but there is, and cultural boycotts are just going to bury that little room for good.
give love to ongoing fics too. not just one shots or completed works.
while “writers write for themselves first and foremost” and “fanfic reading is a form of self care and no reader should feel pressured to kudos or comment on the fic they read” are both true, kudos and positive comments are still so appreciated. and as a fellow writer, I can tell for a fact that while I do write for myself and my own enjoyment, seeing lovely comments from my readers always motivates me to write more and write faster.
unfortunately some people choose to avoid ongoing fics because they either want to wait for the whole thing to get posted first or they’re afraid writers will abandon the works and leave those works unfinished. but the thing is that if you want long, multi-chapter fics, letting writers know you love and appreciate their hard works by giving them kudos and commenting nice things on their ongoing fics will almost definitely always motivate writers to write. and also, writing can be hard. I know writers who pull all-nighters doing researches on their fics. I know writers who put so much time, effort and dedication into their fics. the fics they allow people to read for free. please let them know you love and appreciate their works if you can, especially with the raise of bots (it can be super discouraging for a writer to see that the only comments their fics get are from bots and scam).
kudos and comments help writers write more fics. appreciate fanfic writers. appreciate fan artists. appreciate ongoing fics.
Every Single Line Victor Creed/Sabretooth Says In X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
So. I returned to one of my old hyperfixations, Sabretooth, and because I’m an obsessive person that finds line banks really helpful, I assembled an exhaustive list of Victor Creed’s lines in hopes of helping myself and other writers and roleplayers who might find this kind of thing useful.
