I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip
Using a random fic of mine as example..
The left example: ✅✅✅
The right example: ❌❌❌
Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!
If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…
you ever get tired of living but in a non-suicidal way
I am begging the FDA to require that companies CANNOT just put "spices" as an ingredient but have to label the spices.
"Spices" can mean "this has some oregano and black pepper in it" or it can mean "this has cumin cayenne and paprika and if you eat this you will be sick in bed in pain for a week" for me.
Seriously, this is an allergy issue and a huge oversight on the part of corporations.
Require detailed labeling of spices used in packaged foods NOW.
his angy face looks so funnyyy, i love all the lttle details in here
you guys just drawing full comics and illustrations on this awful page that's so hard to do
Scabs? Coughing?? Nines likes scabs and coughing??? Nonhumans complementing humans for things that make NO sense in human culture(s)???? My new favourite trope?????
(Idk if I’m interpreting it correctly)
I’m going to be thinking about that post for a while (in a good way ^_^)
nines likes how the body prevents blood loss by clotting around cuts, and he likes how the lymph nodes help keep you healthy and not get sick, or how they help to fight off sickness
so basically he’s saying “I’m so glad that you don’t have to suffer blood loss anytime you get cut 🥹” and “it makes me so happy that your body is fighting off infections that could leave you in a state of distress if you weren’t able to fight it off💕💕”
Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.
I was thinking about the Boys recently, and how it does a really good job of showing how god awful society can be and the way in which they mock the right wing for their actions. It's a show that personally I really enjoy.
The problem is, the right wing don't understand satire and that this show isn't for them. And, personally, I feel it has emboldened a lot of people to act even more like dicks to others.
I've had conversations with people who don't realise Homelander isn't a hero. They can't understand why people don't like Homelander because he 'cares about America.' Not understanding that the only person he cares about is himself. The only thing he cares about is power, absolute power. He wants to take over America and make it in his own image.
He is a literal Nazi who was in cahoots with a literal Nazi (Stormfront).
But the right don't get this. They don't understand that the show is mocking them by showing how the undying love for Homelander, and the cult of personality, mimics the undying love that many of them have for Donald Trump and MAGA.
And this is ultimately the problem.
They seem to think this show is a how to guide for the right wing, when actually it's a 'this is what the world is coming to and it's scary.'
Whilst I love the Boys, I'm glad it's ending with Season 5. It will be interesting to see how the justify some of the things such as the concentration camps in the show.
Whilst Soldier Boy was an ass as well, worst thing they ever did was stop him from killing Homelander and his son.
that thing where you're attracted to someone not in a platonic or romantic or sexual way, but in an 'i want to read about their exploits' kind of way
"getting laid" is very hot and sexy. "getting off"? great news as well. so you would think "getting laid off" would be wonderful news for your penis. but alas
I LOVE THIS ART
