bringing this to tumblr because a realer thing has literally never been said

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

Se also "he DID say that and he was LYING, and somehow you didn't notice."

This is in no way the best way to post it but it is the only way I could get the format to stay

I hope my brain goes to hell, I thought of a SINGULAR GOOD LINE FOR A FANFICTION AND NOW I WANNA WRITE IT, WHEN I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE LONG AND I HAVE ONE THAT'S UNFINISHED AND ONE THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I just realized that me actually using this social media is very dangerous, because all of the goblins in my head don't know what is socially acceptable to say on first meeting or not, so we just say whatever the fuck comes to mind. With that said, I really should post my art in here!

I have come to realize that for me to do that... I need to like.... draw...

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.

So thank you to the people who still do public rec lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.
