Rest in Peace, Stan Lee. With your beautiful brain you shaped my very childhood and your stories made me the man I am today. With every Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible, Uncanny character that you brought into this world you created a legacy that will never die. Your name is immortalized by the stories you told and the countless people you inspired.
Hey!! The historical rpc is pretty small & it can be difficult to find other blogs. I was searching for some and found a masterlist; however, it hasn’t been updated in a year. Blogs have been deleted, abandoned, and more have been made.
But worry not! Reblog this if you have a historical verse or are a historical blog friendly (oc or canon character.) & write your character name & if they’re canon or oc. To be added to this masterlist.
if you’re a historical character blog, reblog this post.
I have 20 units of insulin left, and that will last me like 2 days and I still dont have my insurance card yet so I’m fucking panicking. Idk what I’m going to do because I can’t afford insulin right now and without it, I’m going to die.
hey, uh – if anyone can, would you please consider donating to my boyfriend?? there’s not much i can do on my end and im really scared for him…
medicaid said it could take two weeks to process my papers, and no place here sells insulin over the counter. I’ve been to the e.r in the past, and they just sent me home and didn’t give me insulin.
I’m not gonna last two weeks guys. And I’m really stresed and scared.
children, let this elder fandom auntie tell you a thing:
if you take the time to comment on a fanfiction but your comment is some variation of “this story would’ve been better if ______” then perhaps, in this one case, it is better to Not Comment At All
like, I am a disillusioned, emotionless fandom native at this point, so your comment will be met with mild annoyance and some form of dumbfounded laughter as I share it with my friends and baffle over the fact that you took the time to say, “this is cute but i would’ve liked it better if you had written a completely different story than this one”
but some people who write and post fic have not been in fandom as long as I have and therefore they have not built up an immunity to This Shit, so perhaps take their feelings in mind and wonder how it will affect them emotionally and mentally for you to essentially say the story they wrote wasn’t good enough
aight? aight
For fucking real. How many times do we have to say this shit?
What about comments like:
“This story would’ve been better if you’d explored that plot point you created in more detail. It was really interesting. Are you going to do that in another story?”
“This story would’ve been better if you’d given more time to the OC you created, you did a good job with them. They are really relatable.”
Are these kinds of comments acceptable??
No, I would suggest saying something like this instead:
“I’d love to hear more about ____! It sounds great / interesting / [whatever word you like].”
“I could read a whole fic just about _____!”
It gets across your point without making the author feel as though they have failed miserably.
Here’s the difference, right. Saying “I loved this part, I want to read more about it” encourages the author to create more.
Phrasing it as you did – “this story would be better if” – is inherently critical and makes it seem as though you think the fanfiction was a failed experiment and perhaps if they had done this differently, it would have been marginally better.
Your phrasing is discouraging, whereas the alternative phrasing is encouraging and gives the impression that you would like to read more by this author.
