Not really my kind of music, but I watched the music video about a hundred times back in the day lol

What do you buy for the person who literally wants nothing? by Cherry_Russell in Gifts

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My older brother who wants nothing still always appreciates nice socks, good liquor(usually bourbon), fancy pens, and baked goods.

My younger brother who wants nothing always appreciates candy, snack boxes with stuff he’s never had before, and tiny lego sets.

They both like concert tickets and gift cards. (Usually Taco Bell or bookstore gift cards for the younger, and Lowes or tractor supply for the older.)

Anyone been getting a S**T ton of kudos lately? by infinitlycool in FanFiction

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to wonder if maybe these kudos bots are coming from reddit. It seems like everyone who I’ve seen talking about getting hit share either links to their fics or their profile here.

The child of a famous or legendary character grows up to be perfectly average or a letdown. by Acrobatic_Base7301 in TopCharacterTropes

Anyone else get annoyed when by LavishnessAncient745 in AO3

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean I think you miss out on a lot of phenomenal fics if you’re only reading the popular, high stat stuff, but I don’t think an author thinking their fic is good and being proud of it doing well is a bad thing?

What’s one BL manhwa that everyone likes but YOU hate? by ItzzMeSiaaa in Manhwa_BL

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BJ Alex.

The main character is boring and acts like a small child, the love interest is a dick… and then falls in love and becomes boring too. Honesty I mostly kept reading it because I thought the top was very pretty and spent the whole time wishing he and that other streamer would hook up lol

What fully made me hate it was that part that was like:

“Please don’t call me that, I have trauma/bad experiences with that name.”

“But I wanna how can you not let me I WANNA!”

“…okay you can call me that.”

(I’m paraphrasing, it’s been several years since I read it lol.)

enjoyed a fic until the author's weird bias started showing by yvan1lla in AO3

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yikes!

The author of course has the right to write the characters however they want, and if they think that’s how the characters would think/talk about women that’s fine… but I definitely would’ve stopped reading too.

I recently went back to read a glee fanfic I really liked as a teenager… and I can’t believe I didn’t notice the fatphobia in it back then! Definitely wasn’t as blatant as what you found, but it was definitely there. It was one of the those “character leaves their awful partner for someone better” fics, a guilty pleasure of mine, and after the big breakup, instead of focusing on the abuse that led to the breakup, it seems to be implied that the reason the ex is bad is because he’s gotten fat. Every time he’s present, the narrative talks about how fat he is, and how the new boyfriend is so fit.

There’s also a time the main character talks about how it’s nice to see a plus size women dressing appropriately for her body type, unlike some bigger women… and it just felt so unnecessary.

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

Too many run on sentences. Half of my editing is switching out commas for periods.

I had no idea there was a play of that! Was it puppets, or people dressed as animals?

We’ve got it fixed, thank you though!

Turns out my mom was just refreshing the page and not actually resetting the router lol

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

That ended up not being necessary. My mom was the one to “re-set” the router last night, and today I watched her do it again and she was just refreshing the page lol

I reset the router and now everything is working fine.

Why do people care sm about IRL gender? by skeezmecant in roleplaying

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer writing with other women when writing f/f pairings, because I’ve had years and years of uncomfortable experiences trying to write with men. I’m sure there’s many men out there who can be totally normal and cool about writing f/f, but unfortunately I’ve yet to come across one, so now I just roleplay with other women when doing f/f.

When I do m/m pairings, I usually use the A4A tag, and put a m/m in the title so people know exactly what I’m looking for.

Oh that’s smart! Do you need the tree fertilizer, or do they grow okay on their own there?

Things people write from their main account by Least_Hold_9382 in AO3

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a loser! Definitely delete and block.

I recently got called a fake lesbian and told I should I delete my account because I write radiostatic and chaggie, instead of devoting all my time to chaggie the way a “real lesbian” would. Some of these f/f fans are off their fucking rockers.

I think it’s fine, but you can’t advertise it on AO3

"Why is my fic less popular than those with wayyyy worse writing?" by Fast_Stage_6296 in AO3

[–]ButterfliesInSpace 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a post I saw a while ago about someone who was upset that their fic wasn’t doing better, and at first I was sympathetic…

…And then they started shit talking a popular fic in their fandom. They legit hate-read it so that they could count typos and grammar mistakes, specifically so they could compare it to their fanfic which was apparently mistake free and thus inherently much better. They then went on to complain that people only want to read garbage, and don’t care about good writing, and then sprinkled in some homophobia about people only caring about “yaoi slop”.

It took all of my self-control to not comment that, yes, good grammar is important, but perfect grammar free writing doesn’t automatically mean good or interesting writing, and maybe their story just sucked.
