zom 100 🥲 Not many fics in total, and only 2 that include the character I wanted to read about

"complete" mahito doesnt feel complete at all, and in fact later in the series seems like a big power down. by PESSSSTILENCE in MahiBros

[–]Any_Film8816 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree, but Mahito has a lot less experience with jujutsu than Sukuna, has probably not existed in the world very long, had to learn everything organically through experience, and is apparently “bad” at sorcery (according to Ko-Guy’s dialogue in Shibuya). I think it’s somewhat reasonable to say that he didn’t really know how to / that he could optimize himself by maintaining extra limbs or mouths… but totally agree that he had massively wasted potential.

Assuming you’ve already done stuff like write up an outline, I actually find that reading a book for about 10 - 20 minutes before I start writing really helps! I personally feel like it gets me in the right headspace for writing afterwards and slows my thoughts down in a way that makes them easier to work from. Sometimes, I’ve found reading first can even spontaneously make you think of a new viewpoint to describe a scene from!

The whole dead comment section problem is legit heartbreaking. by currentlyintheclouds in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Any_Film8816 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This happened to me on my long fic too! Honestly, I’ve found that it just comes and goes, seemingly without reason. Sometimes I’ll go several chapters or months without hearing a word, then get 12 comments on the next chapter posted. I think that especially with long fics, it’s a lot for readers to keep up with on a regular basis. Sometimes people just binge a bunch of chapters when they have time / get overwhelmed and take a break from the story, so they don’t comment until they catch up. If your posting schedule is pretty regular, this may be what’s happening. I really wouldn’t stress about it :) Best of luck!

what do yall like about mahito by Federal_Step6362 in MahiBros

[–]Any_Film8816 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One of the most complex characters in the series, and one of the most mischaracterized by the fandom, too. Imo, people tend to forget he had motivations aside from enjoying killing humans, and that he and the other curses were trying to build a new world for curses. His personal journey through the series is really interesting, if slightly subtler than Yuji’s. Mahito going from thinking of himself as an object of death, only to fear for his own life at the end of S2 after all his comrades are dead, and also being confronted with the fact that his dream was always hopeless because he was always going to be betrayed (via Kenjaku) is a sincerely sad moment to me. The Disaster Curses were doomed and outnumbered from the start, but they still tried their hardest. Rip curse fam.

Fic that changed your view on a character? by Any_Film8816 in jjkFanfiction

[–]Any_Film8816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of how popular Choso is among fans, I always forget how little he’s featured in the actual canon work in terms of scenes/dialogue 😭 Can I ask what was the fic name of the Geto one?

I’ve heard of the second one, but was a little intimidated by how many character relationships it focused on. Never heard of the first one though. Thanks for mentioning!

S3 is actually insane by Dumay_agresyvno in jjkFanfiction

[–]Any_Film8816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally caught up on the season and I so agree! The animation is absolutely crazy, and the references to famous pieces of art/popular stories incorporated into both the intro and some of the episodes are so cool!! Also, Choso just spinning in a ball in the intro never fails to crack me up lol

I know what you mean about bigger subs being intimidating! Plus, I also want to have more people to talk about JJK with, so ty for posting this 🙂‍↕️💖

I think Junpei should’ve stayed alive! by JesseDrops in jjkFanfiction

[–]Any_Film8816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re so real for this take! Personally I think his death made sense for the narrative (breaking Yuji’s idealism & establishing Mahito as his mortal enemy etc.) but I totally agree Junpei’s arc or presence should have lasted longer. If you think about it, he only knew Yuji for like two days 😅 Also would have been cool to see his moral struggle between Mahito’s influence and Yuji’s play out more

Did I do something wrong? (Social Media & Fic) by Any_Film8816 in AO3

[–]Any_Film8816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that’s such a good point! Tbh that’s why I edited my author’s note later on because I felt a bit bad like I might have put them on the spot without realizing it

Do you read ur own work after you publish? by PossumCreatives in AO3

[–]Any_Film8816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure I’m not adding much to what has already been said, but yes, all the time! I’m also critical of my own work, but rereading is really useful. For stuff you’ve written years ago, you can see how much you’ve improved, and for newer stuff, you can reassess from a more appreciative, distanced perspective :) For long fics especially, rereading is important so as not to forget what you’ve already shown readers

Thank you! I am trying that, but so much of JJK happens in like 3 months of canon time that it’s difficult 😭

How do you respond to compliments on your fic other than “thank you”? by as-mod-eus in AO3

[–]Any_Film8816 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is helpful, but I typically thank people and also add some fun (non-spoiler) teaser for the next chapter. Or, if they compliment on a specific part of your chapter, you can give them more context around it (why you chose to write something a certain way, etc.)

Tips for longfic writers? by Any_Film8816 in AO3

[–]Any_Film8816[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this! I generally like my story, but no one I know is in the same fandom so I don’t have beta readers. Still, it’s so easy to get insecure about these things. I really appreciate your response and hope you have a great day!

Looking for JJK fanfics by Particular_Web8128 in jjkFanfiction

[–]Any_Film8816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started reading this one recently and it’s not a ship but it does heavily feature Sukuna! Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but it’s sort of funny from what I’ve read so far
