oddly enough i dont think ive ever encountered a "no beta we die like [character]" tag in bton fanfics 😭 idk if its bc i usually only skim tags but or are fans actually not using them as much in this fandom?
can we abolish professionalism why can’t we just all act like natural human beings with actual real emotions rather than some kind of fake act all the time
I don't understand why a lot of writers nowadays are afraid of their characters experiencing and living emotions. I want them to grieve blatantly, to kick and scream and cry and lash out and touch each other. People love melodrama, stop holding them back
ugh let’s stop talking abt it and deplatform that ugly ass bald man with pubes on his top lip. what are we doing. also stop watching reaxx channels and have some sense of self. like what u like without waiting for validation from others
Love this love this. It’s like that Tessa Dare book, When the Scot Tied the Knot. Girl invented a sweetheart and writes to him to avoid the marriage mart and even killed him off lmao only for imaginary guy to turn up in her doorstop bec the letters reached him lols

And while I beg everyone to remember I cannot sustain the marathon-pace of writing I've done this week because life, this tweet was truly the ultimate brainrot. So here you have it, three days later. I hope y'all enjoy ♥️

Lots of AI and soap fb/ig reels are like these especially the ones with reborn/revenge plots or step sister plots. Very rapey scenes too with the initial love interest. Dafuq is that
it’s awesome how a guy can fully admit
to having extremely demented sexual proclivities that made participating women feel super in danger and then five years later the hollywood reporter can churn out a fluff piece about how bad we should feel that he got fired from movies
why would u ever need algorithms to find amazing fics in ao3 when u can scan the bookmarks of an author whose fics u just finished marathoning?! like.. if u liked how they wrote stuff, you’ll probably like what they liked. it’s like a never ending rabbithole tbh
it’s true for me lmao. overheard my parents saying i was mature when i was 7 and i internalized that shit. but also holds true in adulthood. my boss told ppl we were with in the elevator how i was cerebral and at 25, i ofc internalized that shit too lolsz
The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself.
Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?”
They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried.
Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.
if u are a fic author please know that there are people out there (like me) who happily read your unfinished works and think about them regularly for years even if they're never updated again. and i'm sooo happy i chose to read them :')
