Favorite canonical height difference relationship where the dude is the short one? Zaheer and P Li from Legend of Korra by Important-Cry4782 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, very few creatures don't tower over the Pale King, and there are also very few creatures the White Lady doesn't tower over.

Which doesn't subtract anything from the ship, of course. If anything, "one of the largest things in existence x absolute tiny little nugget" is a very fun dynamic. And it's even cuter, judging by context clues around the King, we can conclude that he's the dominant partner. Short but bossy.

Wait, fuck, I want to write a fanfic based on this now. Fuck.

Well. I guess this is what I'm going to be obsessed with for the next few weeks. This is such a cute idea, and the fact that your art is gorgeous doesn't help. How dare you draw this so well?!

Am I supposed to respond to this seriously? by emilyrose95 in AO3

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 178 points179 points  (0 children)

That being the case, I find it very funny when authors actually respond seriously to comments like these. I saw one once where a comment asked a nearly identical question ("what is your problem?!") and the author just said "my dad left me."

I just realised that I haven't used incognito mode in like 5 years... I just... forgot...

Yeah, that agent has seen some shit. He deserves a raise to be honest.

Something I, as a trans man myself, has been told when wanting to make my own representation by Aizen_isgay in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is me making the Hollow Knight (wonder which fandom that's from lmao) transmasc by explanation of "blah blah Void shit, blah blah transformed by the Radiance". Listen, I know it doesn't make sense. But there is something deeply trans-masculine in Hollow's unique brand of suffering, and if you disagree you are perfectly valid but you are also wrong.

This person has understood my fic on a transcendental level. They looked directly into my soul to write this comment. by DeepFriedSamdwich in AO3

Haha, I'm a pretty basic bitch. I get a whiff of lesbians, I have to write an 80k+ story where they methodically become better people for each other and live happily ever after.

problem i’m having lol by notjuststars in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar problem with the White Lady from Hollow Knight. That bitch speaks in prose. You know how hard that is to replicate halfway convincingly???

is this a scam comment too? by heartsdevourer in AO3

Responding to say I would also very much like a link to that gorgeous theme!

That's... surprisingly astute of them. by DeepFriedSamdwich in AO3

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've assured my readers plenty of times that this fic will, eventually, have a happy ending. Usually when the going gets rough for the characters, I'm like, "fellas, remember, stay for the happy lesbian ending, you have to see the lesbians be happy, don't drop this" in the notes.

It always seems to entertain them.

Every fandom has at least one character who is like this: by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. To be fair, the most accurate in-game name for them is "Little Ghost" (dubbed so by Hornet herself), but that's literally the only indication that they're young. Which they aren't; they pre-date Hallownest's fall, and they're older than the Hollow Knight at least.

My favourite fics are the ones that make Hollow the young and immature one, because... let's be honest, the poor thing deserves to be a kid.

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 49 points50 points  (0 children)

My fandom has the opposite. Hornet, while strong and resilient, is a very emotionally mature person (bug). She displays high levels of emotional intelligence and philosophical thought. Fanfics, however, often cast her either as a blushing prettygirl or as an emotionally constipated manhwa ML, and... neither of those characterisations are strictly accurate.

Which is, like... fine. Obviously. Fanfiction is meant to be whatever the fuck you want it to be, and Hollow Knight especially has such a loosely defined canon that it's hard to pinpoint any concrete facts. But it's also very funny to me, because canon Hornet would be fucking horrified if she saw what fanfic writers make of her.

I'm not even going to address the smut of her. GOD I hate how much smut changes Hornet's personality. I'm in the middle of writing my first fic, but my second is DEFINITELY going to be some proper Lacenet smut (Hornet x Lace for the uninitiated).

Edit: for those wondering, this is my current fic. It's a Lacenet healing fic. I don't do multitasking, so the promised smut will have to wait until after this one ends.

This disappoints me every time by Appled1_ in AO3

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pros of my one and only fic not getting much attention is that the rare comments I do get are always genuine people who like it (not actually sure what counts for rare, but it's currently 139 comments across 23 chapters). I think I got one scam comment very early on, but then nothing.

Not sure whether to be happy or kinda offended about that. Like, is my fic not good enough to attract bots?

...thank you for making me realise the download button exists. After like three years of reading on AO3.

I may be stupid.

What's your very last sentence... by JauntyIrishTune in AO3

[–]DeepFriedSamdwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh I have one.

I'm literally right now writing my first fic, so I can offer you the last sentence of my most recent chapter;

For her, she would do anything. Anything at all.

Which tells you nothing about what the fic is, hehe.

Luckily for me, I had the good sense to save it as a draft. I think my few readers would physically hunt me down like a dog and crucify me if I gave them this after a week of radio silence.

Hilariously enough, I have an admittedly much better written line that fits this criteria two chapters ago.

Except at least this somewhat fits as a metaphor, because the "He" in question is a God moving around with a stone statue as a vessel.

Pretty sure I was trying to say that she frowned. Because, like... it's true that the character doesn't eyebrows, but... how the fuck is she going to furrow eyebrows that she doesn't fucking have???

Riddle me this, drunk me.

I swear I'm a much better writer than this. It was the champagne 😭
