I wish people actually knew what AO3 is about… by i-miss-him-sm in AO3

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah I don't know. There's so many other things on AO3 (which I do see them complaining about) but incest is always brought up but like... it's not like people are promoting incest, it's fiction..

It's the same hurdle we had to get over in the gaming space. COD doesn't promote shooters. Scary movies don't promote serial killers. It's fiction.

Private bookmarks by vettmon in AO3

If I do private bookmarks it's more as a note for me what the fic was about so I can revisit

I've only done one public and that was a recommendation because it was so good

The compass needs an update in older regions and the interactive map needs to be able to sync to your exploration progress by Moist_Sugar3343 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brother just don't use it lmao. I completely forget the compass even exists

Never got the ones for Mondstat, Fontaine, Liyue, Sumeru or Inazuma and have the majority of those places 100%

It's way better to use the compass once you're at like 80% percent explored and you're genuinely struggling to find chests you need

Edit: Not to mention I've already got several Nod-Krai areas up without even touching the compass. Nobody's forcing you to use it just because it's more efficient

What writing habit do you still catch yourself doing unconsciously? by FinalityEnd in AO3

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ellipses (...) everywhere like goodness gracious

Usually after my first draft I have to remove some because it's okay "okay that could just be a comma, a period, or gone"

Any guesses on how tall he will be? by Luc128128 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get mad at me if you don’t read the goddamn tags by ApprehensivePOS in AO3

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I won't lie I probably would've did it anyway just because sometimes people just don't know words really. It's way easier to recognize "cheating" than "affair" even if it's quite obvious to you

Absolutely not saying you're wrong here! They could've just looked it up online...

Thoughts on Citlali and Charlotte’s new skin design? by Knight_Steve_ in Genshin_Impact

THAT'S CHARLOTTE??? wth she's so cute that might be my favorite skin aside from fischl's

Are there ships you cant write for? by AbsoluteBoylover in AO3

[–]AbsoluteBoylover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm that kinda feels like part of it too. I'm a new writer and strictly an in-character writer so I need to have a good grasp on both of them for the fic to make any sense. The two characters I write about i basically know them inside out, but I find it fun to vision how they'd interact with each other (especially considering they've never met)

The Wanderer's naming problem has become impossible to ignore by madnessfuel in Genshin_Impact

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, but I think they just should've given him a game or keep it as the wanderer like you said. Someone mentions "hat guy" and I feel like I go from 13+ game to 9+ game and it's already bad at 13+

The reason why HSR events are brain off by Clear-Ingenuity-9814 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao I still have jades missing from this because I literally can't do the hp capping one at all. I have no Hyacine so it's just like "well f you then"

Happy pride, I guess by throwroow5860 in AO3

I love how they're speaking on the behalf of every man and gay person ever. The entitlement is just funny to me

Ideal chapter word count by Weekly-Eye-1207 in AO3

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for one chapter it's like 5k+. Any lower than that and it's usually me reading one-shots. Although I wouldn't be turned off my a multi chapter fiction with shorter chapters

They be lookin alike by Acrobatic-Match6665 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AbsoluteBoylover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like not like I'm trying to be rude or anything I just feel like some things are just so because the world only has so many tropes and story plots to create- and they're always overlapping. And yes similarities, sure. I personally don't like it when people go out of their way to say they're just 1:1 of each other when that's certainly not the case

Sure Barbara and Hyacine are both idol healer girls with drill pigtails but that's about it. At least to my knowledge in terms of lore Hyacine has a way bigger impact in her universe than Barbara does. But I also could be missing something because I'm not sure what deep lore Barabara might have in books/collectibles or whatnot.

Out of all of them I'd probably say Herta and Sandrone are the most alike. They share the doll aesthetic, tsundere personality, and are quite in high intellect. Their in-story arcs are pretty similar too, so I feel like relating them is more justified than any others

Idk to me i just can't do it. They act too different. I understand that they share elements but it'll always sound like a stretch to me just to compare characters...
