someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic
I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS
I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?
the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"
idk, chris sonnenburg. if you didn’t want your character to be adored by the fans, maybe don’t make him such a little goob.
look at ‘im.
also, maybe don’t make him one of the most compassionate people in the show who only wanted to make positive change for the people he cherished— *i am dragged off of my soapbox*
so weird to me that babies can laugh. you are 5 months old and you are cackling as if you already have evil machinations a-brewing within your fragile skull.
do you ever look at someone and think “i miss the days when i could rely on you”
something something hugo letting his hair down and allowing his vision to be partially obscured, trusting others to keep watch, not being on guard, letting himself rest for once
something something varian revealing what he’s kept hidden and protected despite the risk of being hurt in the process, and he ends up being held
i don't know if you've gotten an ask like this before but i just love hugo so much. do you have any headcanons for him that you must share with the public (TELL ME TELL ME NOW I BEG)
Yayyy Hugo headcanon time!!
He’s a bottle blonde, whether it’s cuz his natural hair is brunette or another shade of blonde
Hugo cannot swim at all. Like, my guy was PANICKING during the water trial
He sees Donnie as his mother
Doesn’t like sweet things because he doesn’t have a sugar tolerance after spending so much of his life in poverty (got this from the silent opera)
Unlabeled in terms of sexuality. I feel like he either wouldn’t care or wouldn’t have time to figure out a label for himself and settles for “I’m attracted to the person, not the gender”
Him wearing his hair down around the others is some kind of metaphor for letting his guard down (will die on this hill)
Knew about Varian being the Alchemist before Varian told everyone
This ^^ being said, he also freaked out once he found out/realized because he idolized the Alchemist the way Varian did Flynn Ryder
Sees Nuru as his sister (I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP)
Nuru is his maid of honor at his and Varian’s wedding
Yong is his best man ^^
Dropped a piano on Eugene’s head when they were on a thieving job years ago 😼
Born to wear his heart on his sleeve, forced to keep it locked away. He’s such a lover boy at heart
Almost left Corona after the trials were over because he thought it would be “better for everyone” but Varian convinced him to stay
Took him years to get used to living in the castle
Forged his and Varian’s wedding rings because I think it’s the sweetest thing ever (got this from dasketcherz)
Tells Yong stories until he falls asleep (at first he did it to brag about his adventures as a thief, but he grew to genuinely enjoy it)
Constantly incorporating magic into his engineering
There’s a lot more but these are just what I could think of on the spot 🫡
Thank you for the ask <333
imagine if NWHS actually hinted at ford being about to kill bill cipher.
like, we see this silhouette in the nightmare realm aiming a massive gun at the demon, see bill's one eye widen in the first fear he's felt in millennia, see the entire realm shaking before the figure leaps through the portal and stores his gun on his back again. then this mysterious man puts his hand on the journal and it fits
imagine how hype that would have been.
BRO WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING HICCUP LESS PATHETIC IN EACH PIECE OF MEDIA HES IN.
If anyone read the books, they knows he’s supposed to be the most pathetic, kicked dog, soaking wet cat guy ever. Then they made him in the movies, and sure in the first movie he’s kinda pathetic, BUT IN THE FOLLOWING MOVIES HES LESS PATHETIC AND KINDA HOT??? LIKE STOP BRING BACK MY SAD LITTLE MAN.
And then in the live action(either going to suck or be ok) HE DOESNT LOOK PATHETIC AT ALL. HE LOOKS LIKE RTTE HICCUP WHO ISNT PATHETIC IN THE SLIGHTEST.
BRING BACK PATHETIC MEN PLEASE BRING BACK MY USELESS LITTLE TWELVE YEAR OLD NERD WHO CAN SPEAK TO DRAGONS NOT THIS FLYING GUY WHOS ACTUALLY COOL FOR THE LOVE LF GOD.
Alright! Sorry for being so absent today! I was building a tool so you can all check your own names on demand.
I am asking that you not talk about it on Hugging Face. I'm sure word will get there eventually, but I'd like to avoid them accessing this as much as possible. Feel absolutely free to spread around Tumblr.
That said, I did pay out of pocket for some of the accounts I've needed to do all this. If I need to, I'm fine with eating that cost, but I am going to ask nicely that if you feel like kicking in toward it, you donate to the Ko-Fi I made specifically for this technical project. I was hoping to get a short-term membership, but I was only able to buy access to host this for a full year lmao. BUT regardless, this is freely available to everyone. Do NOT feel like you need to donate if it'll put you in a bad place or even if you just don't want to. Just figured I'd ask instead of quietly sucking up the $180.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the cost to host the tool! I appreciate you so so so much. As of this edit, I'm at $185 total, and right now, I don't expect to have to pay for anything else to keep this available.
I gave the tool a quick test, but please come yell if it stops working. I'm around; I'll fix as fast as I can. It's slow as hell, but it does load eventually. Give it up to 10 minutes, and if it seems down after that, please alert me via ask! Anons are on.
Now with all that being said, time for me to start focusing on how we stop the next scrape.
i feel like i’m going crazy— somebody validate my “varian sees andrew in hugo”
just. cocky, pretentious, self-assured, handsome, not that trustworthy (but varian wants to trust him). he lives with this guy for months. (trapped.) there’s an objective that both he and this guy are trying to achieve. varian would risk his life for him (but would he do the same if varian was in danger?) there’s a sense of waiting. (everything is not quite right.)
is he imagining things, reliving memories he hasn’t gotten over, or is history repeating itself? (time is a flat circle.)
