You know I've really come all the way around on the "should worm be more large scale popular" and mostly think "we don't need any more people writing pre Leviathan alt power Taylors" without the optimism more readers would do anything else
But I have to admit every time Tumblr has that poorly constructed soccer yaoi web serial trending I get a little mad. That Valor should be Worm's!
Bad influence
You ever have a thought you want to share but you can't remember the thought so you ponder and wonder and imagine what it could be and it slips away from you? And it feels like a loss but with no found so you're just left thinking what could have been? It's not a gap in my mind or memory, it's just inverted, hyper aware of the space it is in but entirely excluded from knowing what's inside. So very tired
damn... am i really so afraid of commitment that I can't even read a fanfic over 100k words anymore for fear ill spend all my time reading it rather than doing productive things?
I used to just, not sleep or do other things and just read fic all day, so why guilt, why you here
I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all
a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)
so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.
i had a dungeon master once who was really into LoL and tried to convince people to play all the time
he was an asshole for other reasons but that was always a red flag to me, promoting league aggressively, lol
If you didn't know about League of Legends and had to design an Arcane MOBA, you would not end up with League of Legends and I think that's a good thing

I didn't initially want to do this, since other people have done perfectly adequate and highly popular "where is brockton bay" polls before, but I decided i simply had to have it on my blog:
look, i try really hard not to, you know, like, put my finger on the scales, or whatever, but why would you pick Vermont? It's landlocked.
Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Denial and Decay are not options. you know full well that in this case "state" refers only to the constituent political entity and element of the organizational structure of the united states of america, buster. You better quit it or i'm gonna get mad.
Okay I tapped out like 300 words to this chapter, and if I add that to the 1200 words I wrote earlier on the outline for a fic I'm planning in the future, then that's 1500 words roughly, not bad, could be better.
why would garlic bread betray me like this, I just wanted to write fanfic. save me, TUMs
