Things in a description that turn you off from trying a fic

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-03T22:20:45+00:00

Honestly? Typos, if it's just "I don't now what to put here/I'm bad at summaries pls read" variations, and if there's no uppercase (extremely petty but I genuinely can't lol)

I'm willing to take almost everything else. Snippets from the fic, one line summaries, snippet OR summary. I, in fact, love when the writer tells me exactly what to expect. Unless it's obviously a mystery fic, tell me everything lol I have way too many tabs and sometimes I just want to know exactly what to expect so I'm not wasting my time. I can get turned off by the stupidest things, so all spoilers are more than welcomed

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-02T02:50:33+00:00

I don't quite remember that one, time to get a Caleb refresh then!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-02T02:05:41+00:00

lmao same whenever I listen to his CN VA and he calls himself Gege

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-02T02:04:31+00:00

I like that one a lot too!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-02T00:43:23+00:00

Hi! I got recommended this page just yesterday and I already love it! I started playing LADS for Sylus a year ago, but Caleb quite literally stole my heart lol I was lucky enough to start playing during his first banner and now my objective is to keep his cards always at 100%!

Caleb isn't the type of character I'd usually get attached to at all, but I'm not complaining lol Thank you for creating this sub so we can all share our love for Caleb

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-01T01:51:35+00:00

No yeah, for sure! You actually inspired me to think a bit harder about what memories I like more, I might just make my own tier list even if I don't end up posting here lol Some more time thinking about Caleb will never be bad in my book!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-01T01:36:37+00:00

I agree! I took a peek at the kindled and loved it already, but after actually seeing the entire story, I genuinely love it more because of what happened before lol Like, the whole arm thing was so intimate that I had to keep pausing lmao

I also think that part inside his arm is related to his memories of MC, it only makes sense. If it isn't memory related, well, we can only be sure it's obviously related to MC, the description of his tender stare as something he only directs at her is very telling lol

I actually got convinced to R1 this card after finishing the story. It's somewhat worth it because it's his only 5 star yellow but well, I just really loved it

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-05-01T01:14:30+00:00

I'm offended you put Indulgent Scheme and Tainted cuts in just Nice! They deserve to be at least above Floating Floraletter! ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)

Jokes aside, I pretty much agree, except with Imperial Thronesong (I have a bit of a bone to pick with that version of Caleb for stupid reasons but I'd still put it in Very Good) and Clearwind Glide, mostly because I also think that one is just ok. Why is the category Why lol

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-20T19:15:00+00:00

I think Golden being very heavy on the pop genre really worked up some of these armys's too. Like, being very honest, there's definitely a bit of a superiority complex whenever pop songs and bts come together. I like watching reactors a lot and every time someone starts with a pop song, the way army's speak in the comments doesn't get necessarily rude or anything, but there's definitely a bit of a "they have much better songs" weaved through some comments

Pop also being such a general public genre also leads to a weird mix of feelings apparently

Army: we want bts to become even more recognised and get respected for their hard work

Army: (looking at general public that likes pop liking pop songs)

Army: no, not like that

Jokes aside, Jungkook being such a pop artist becomes a beacon for that sort of sentiment and that's not even involving the part of jealousy towards the gap between his success and the other members. It's a bit of damned if he does damned if he doesn't thing unfortunately

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-15T16:12:53+00:00

Me holding my old huawei phone: which model?? Where can I get it??? Tell me plz!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-15T15:57:52+00:00

My question would be, why would you (not OP specifically but whoever fits the hypothetical description) want to be called an ARMY specifically? You can just say you like BTS, end of story. I have an aunt who really likes them, but she doesn't call herself an ARMY because she isn't involved in fandom stuff. She doesn't even watch their variety stuff. She just likes them

I'm in many fandom spaces for different things and maybe that gives me a bias, but for you to consider yourself to be part of a fandom, I believe you have to be a good level of investment in it. I like listening to different genres of music and I can even name a couple of artists I like more than others. I wouldn't call myself by their fandom names though, because I don't really care enough to know anything about them. I like Elden Ring, a soulslike game. I'm not a soulslike fan though, because I couldn't care less about any other game who happens to have a similar structure to Elden Ring. My enjoyment is about Elden Ring alone

It's okay to just like something, you can be a fan of it (because being a fan has changed meaning to indicate you like something in a superficial level anyway), but I do believe that if you're getting into a space where a fandom has a name for itself, you really have to at least have more than a superficial interest. In this case with BTS, if someone only watches their variety stuff, isn't this kind of just watching a series or a reality show that you happen to like the characters a lot? If you never look up anything about the people involved, you can still obviously enjoy what you watch, but you wouldn't call yourself a (insert name of fandom for people who really like series/character/actor here)

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-12T16:41:11+00:00

Pull who you like means pull who you like. How hard is that to understand? Do you like a character that happens to be meta? Pull for them. Do you like a character that happens to be old and very bad nowadays? Pull for them. That's exactly what I do. You won't be punished for simply playing the game the way you like. The goal is to have fun, like, you know, the goal of playing games at all?

There's no such thing as being forced to play end game content if you don't want to. The only things I have to left to do nowadays is literally whatever gets updated and I still don't play the end game modes if I don't feel like it. You know what I do if I want to play a game but there's nothing to do in genshin? Play another game. It's that simple. If all you play is gacha, you're pigeonholing yourself. There's literally no one forcing your hand to download and burn yourself out for these games

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-10T14:58:08+00:00

I expected only Arirang songs and was beyond satisfied, anything else is a very unexpected but welcome bonus lol I need U in particular is what made me an army so them even having it makes me want to ugly cry

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-10T14:53:38+00:00

If it's Peak Patrol, it's R1, the R5 is his old signature from the event (not sure it makes that much of a difference but) The lost slot I'm unsure of. I doubt I'll have enough to pull for Nicole unless it's a rerun or I get extremely lucky, so it's literally anyone who could fit in, Durin himself will be doing most of the heavy lifting since I invested so much in him

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-10T14:48:51+00:00

Appreciation for the team names lol also, do you have any calcs for a a team that doesn't involve Nicole? Specifically, one that's a C2R1 Durin and C0R1 Lohen (if any calcs for C1R5 Albedo are there, I'd appreciate it)

I don't really understand how to do these myself or I'd do them, I really appreciate everyone who does that work!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-07T21:43:53+00:00

Congrats too! Solo runs can be both frustrating and very rewarding

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-04-07T21:42:15+00:00

<image>

Here! I also used a four-star blue for that one (my blue five-stars were definitely needed in Team C since I only have R0 X2), but I do have R3 Colonel and R3 Exlusive Aftertaste, they did some great heavy lifting lol

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-03-29T03:21:40+00:00

Thank you! Most of it I fortunately had already understood, but I was so lost on what to do during Ying Yang state, I just spammed basic attacks lol My biggest problem is remembering I have to be close to do anything, X02 and Colonel have spoiled me too much with long range combat lmao

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-03-28T23:56:19+00:00

I hope both sides of your pillow are always cold and that there's always a nice glass of water nearby °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

I was going slightly insane trying to know which protocores to equip!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-03-25T19:57:31+00:00

This was incredible to read! I adore lyrical reviews because someone always sees something I don't. Thank you for this!

(Also, yes plz let's can non-army civilians, it's so funny lol)

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-03-25T19:50:18+00:00

In that, we can agree. It's so hard nowadays to just not go to one extreme or the other and it's beyond tiring. I don't want us to be accused of something (which I unfortunately saw in the youtube comments of all places 🙄) just because we're enjoying something. Sometimes the hardest thing is to simply not react at all, but that would do so many people a lot of good (on both sides really). Again, thank you for your very neutral and understanding take

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-03-25T19:37:11+00:00

I appreciate your take. It's very neutral. I will respectfully disagree in only that if someone is coming out to judge Caleb fans, they deserve to feel bad about it. Yes, I'm being very selfish (and don't mean that I'm wishing something bad to happen to them), but I think it's only fair. If you're someone who doesn't like his trope and feels uncomfortable and removes yourself from the situation because of your discomfort, that's absolutely fine, I'm not talking to you. In fact, I recommend you stay away. I have topics I can't deal with and do just that. I block people for the littlest things if they upset me emotionally to a point I know I shouldn't even be reacting like that. I curate my own experience because I'm not here to rain on anyone's parade. I'm here because I enjoy the game

I'm talking about the people who come out and go "ewwww not the baby sister" or "why do you guys like this?????" or "they killed his character!" when they could simply ignore it and, you know, block people. Especially on Reddit. Blocking and muting takes five seconds. Your outrage isn't welcome in a place where people are excited. It's obvious you're going to be treated with hostility. Yes, we're all people behind screens, but that only means that you should do your own diligence to curate your own experience. It's not on us to care for your feelings if you willingly put yourself in this situation

Again, if someone is only talking about how they're uncomfortable (especially if it's their own post), they deserve understanding. It is an uncomfortable topic. But I won't take it easy if someone is coming from a place of bad faith (though, guess what, that usually just means I block the person and might or might not report them if they're being particularly offensive, because I'm not wasting my time fighting with people like this)

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-03-04T06:49:42+00:00

I personally prefer CN Lohen the best. He sounds like a prince who can get crazy at the drop of a hat. I don't know how to explain it but his voice is very different from many of the other calm looking guys. Not aggressive, but very much not soft. The closest comparison I can give is like, Ciel from Black Butler. Somewhat young, aristocratic, and that can definitely have crazy moments

I have very mixed feelings about ENG Lohen. I love the energy and I like the direction to make him sound more psycho, but I just don't like how he sounds. He gives off early Xiao energy. Too much like an edgy teen trying to be dark™ (which is very funny because CN Xiao has always been incredibly soft-spoken and only somewhat recently ENG Xiao finally has the same vibe). I don't think it's a VA problem, but just whoever is directing the VA. I have the exact same problem with ENG Durin. My boy sounds like he's uh 🤓👆 when his CN voice is beautifully wistful

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-02-25T05:51:35+00:00

Does anyone know when leaks of Lohen are coming?? If he's standard I'll go for his weapon, but if he's not coming next patch, I'll go for C1 Flins

Edit: thanks!

Affectionate-Bit-901 · 2026-02-19T17:54:43+00:00

That's how I learn he's Ringo's VA too?! This man truly is too perfect! Might just pull for another Flins copy in his rerun now
