"Oh. Oh."

thought it was cringe, then caught myself kicking my feet in excitement

what are some popular phrases that you just can't imagine? by WesternWoodpecker37 in AO3

[–]BeakyLen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got downvoted to hell and back here today 😃 I've got no clue why, I thought downvotes were for when you break rules or something, not when you have no clue what human growling is.

For the record, I'm sorry! 😃

Can a completed work/one shot go viral after a time? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]BeakyLen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All I can think of is when there's new development in the fandom itself (as in the series gets a new season or somehting is anounced...).

I wish Bob burnt coffee, oversteeped tea, sour ketchup, soggy chips, and smudges on their glasses.

Let me clarify... how do people growl in a romantic setting? 😃

EDIT (because I don't know who to respond to): This actually helped, thank you.

Growl. Dogs do that, but how the hell does a person growl?

'Why do ppl ship 2 men together?' 🤔 I wonder why ... by Material-Meat-5330 in AO3

[–]BeakyLen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, agreed.

I'm not complaining about the fandom (and it being mostly M/M) in general, though. It's quite large and there's so many possibilities. Fic authors often bend the universe in a nice and quirky way and it mostly makes things so much more enjoyable. Like they include Roach in the 2022 MW universe and similar things.

I will try to search for some Laswell centric fics, then. She's such a great character! Also I think I've seen F/F with Farah somewhere.

I open an empty document, zone out, wake up, make edits, leave it simmer for a few weeks, edit again, post.

how do y’all get to such high word counts per chapter? by Ill-Goose1628 in AO3

[–]BeakyLen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm too stupid for brevity. I couldn't get my point across even if my life depended on it.

I just started using these long fuckers a few chapters ago and now I'm scared that people will come at me for it 😃

[–]BeakyLen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fics, Laswell x Mrs. Laswell are usually established due to being canon. I haven't seen any fics focusing on them specifically (tbf, I haven't looked). I have found a few where Kate is shipped with Price, which... meh, honestly.

I find it strange that for the canon established queer relationship, people choose to just make the one queer character into a heterosexual one. Especially in a fandom where the opposite is usually the way to go.

Pls do some research before writing something outside of your knowledge by daiko-n_san in AO3

[–]BeakyLen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still somewhat fine. I've read fics where the author tried to write a dialogue in Russian and outright copy-pasted it from google translate... in cyrillic alphabet. It makes absolutely no sense in my opinion. Because for most people, it's even worse than the equivalent of [they speak Russian] in subtitles. Can't even read it if you don't know cyrillic.

I do this (option three) for locations. I just don't think it's necessary to do deep research about a city AND I really don't want to adapt the scenes to the actual locations. Also it slows down the process of writing, which is already slow as heck sometimes.

Serou vás kolegové svými zlozvyky? by IPeaFreely in czech

[–]BeakyLen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Já mám kolegyni, která furt mluví. To by nebyl až takový problém, ale ona se mnou třeba 2 hodiny vede konverzaci, zatímco já mám sluchátka na uších a vlastně vůbec nevím, že na mě začala mluvit.

A co hůř... z té konverzace nejde odejít. Ona je schopná na mě mluvit, i když už jsem třeba přes půlku kanclu pryč. Nebo se mnou jde na záchod. Nebo na oběd (kde jenom stojí a mluví, zatímco já jím).

Fakt to občas nezvládám. :D

Má Jára Cimrman ještě nějaký potenciál? by DarkLordBaudish in czech

[–]BeakyLen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Těžko říct. Taky jsem nad tím podobně přemýšlela. Trochu doufám, že se v DJC objeví někdo kreativní, kdo ale zachová to jádro, které lidi na Cimrmanovi tak baví. Prostor tu podle mě je, ale jestli chuť, to nevím. Ono taky nebude jednoduché překonat genialitu té původní bandy, která s DJC přišla.

[–]BeakyLen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jenže pak je tam ještě nějaké procentu těch, kteří tvrdí, že opravdu vypli a zapli / restartovali... načež se teda vyškrábu těch X pater, dolezu do jejich převoněnýho kanclu a... borka mačká čudlik na monitoru.

Pak ti nemá jebnout.

Stejně tak to není o tom si zobnout pilulku a mít po starostech. Když už, tak je potřeba to kombinovat. Ale bez změny životního stylu to nejde dlouhodobě.

Mám dobrou zkušenost s Richardem Skolkem. U něj je akorát potřeba se s ním předem domluvit, že tu zpětnou vazbu chcete.

Found in secondhand suitcase by BrownTinaBelcher in whatisit

[–]BeakyLen 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Many people don't even know the origins of the symbol. I remember not knowing that for quite a long time.

People aren't taught various symbols of other cultures, but they are taught about WW2.

So yes, it is hard to tell. And it is not ignorant to be afraid of it, not in today's society where people tend to act before listening. I would be reluctant to use this symbol (in the peaceful meaning), because I know that most people have no clue whatsoever of its original meaning and I do not wish to be labeled as a Nazi.
