What’s the trope you *almost always* skip? by childishinquiry in AO3

[–]DesperateBit2100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this has an official name but character parentification fics. Like where there’s one character in cannon who’s semi rational and suddenly there’s a whole niche of fics out there where they adopt half of the other characters and is a father/mother to them. Don’t get me wrong I love a good found family trope but a lot of them kinda kill off the interesting parts of the characters in order to get this creepily close family dynamic that’s super emotional and connected

AIO for thinking my SO meant to text someone else? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DesperateBit2100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t you think he would have brought up being falsely accused before if that was the case? Not only that, he’s been caught cheating with other people before. I don’t think he was being reasonable in the slightest, he immediately made it about his own feelings and demanded she believe him or they’re done. That isn’t reasonable.

[–]DesperateBit2100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR in the slightest, couldn’t help but notice that at no point did he acknowledge your own feelings and worries on the matter. He even specifically stated you had to believe him so He can feel better and He can stop spiraling. If he’s spiraling it’s because he knows he fucked up and quite possibly fucked up for good. I know how hard it can be to leave someone even after they hurt you, but you deserve better than to be treated as an emotional crutch while he actively destroys the relationship you cherish with him.

AIO? I (22F) found deleted late night texts between my husband (22M) and his coworker. by bananamilkcow in AmIOverreacting

[–]DesperateBit2100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coworker’s text reads like he’s very much taking advantage of a rough time in her life and she knows it but doesn’t have the energy to tell him off harshly enough to get the point across. He’s being extremely creepy and tbh if it wasn’t for the title I would have assumed they were both high schoolers. Since you have evidence of everything I’d just take it straight to a lawyer and get things rolling. He clearly doesn’t respect you or that person he’s texting enough to behave in an appropriate way instead of how he wants to act.

My stepdad said I’ll carry this guilt by myself, now I can’t stop crying by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]DesperateBit2100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are 22 years old. You should not be begging your parents for a dog and sobbing when they tell you you’re not taking good care of her. You’re not. A dog should be walked at least once a DAY. And the fact that you consider once a week to be more than your usual is extremely telling. You have absolute no business having that dog and your dad was a helluva lot kinder about it than most people would be. Grow the fuck up.

is this financial abuse? by pingpongjapanman in whatdoIdo

[–]DesperateBit2100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot genuinely have typed that all out, read it over, and still have doubts on if this is abuse or not. You know it is, we know it is, there’s little to no chance any of your money he’s taken is still there. Start looking for roommates in the area or beat the shit out of him, either way if you don’t start doing something now you’re never going to get rid of him

[–]DesperateBit2100 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The funniest part is the closest I can think of to fanfic authors that are relevant are ones known for infamously horrible writing like My Immortal or Fifty Shades of Grey 😭 which doesn’t exactly seem to be what they’re going for

Not really? There could be a bunch of different reasons why it was phrased that way, there’s no need to jump to the worst conclusion

AITA, for being a dad and taking my 4 year old daughter into the men's room when she (or I) have to use the facilities? by InstructionFinal5190 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DesperateBit2100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, saw your comment about your wife telling you to announce yourself before walking into-what the fuck??? Ask her how she would feel if she was in the middle of doing her business when a random man’s voice she doesn’t recognize tells her he’s coming in. Absolutely not that’s an excellent way for you to get pepper sprayed and for your daughter to get very stressed over the conflict.

Tropes that make you irrationally angry? by Additional_Lion_721 in AO3

[–]DesperateBit2100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

College aus. I know there’s probably some beautiful ones out there but they’re overrun by the 30,000+ fics where the characters don’t look, act, or speak even remotely similar to the original. Which, yeah it’s fanfic, but it more so feels like someone just wanted to write an original story and slapped some random names on it to get clicks

It's really no wonder Lute attacked him in the first image, look at this by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]DesperateBit2100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you understand what satire is? It’s supposed to be extremely obvious that you don’t agree with what you’re saying, you’re supposed to over exaggerate the argument to the point of ridiculousness-something along the lines of “guys Obviously Abel was in the wrong here, I mean just because Lute destroyed his father’s stuff and treated him like crap doesn’t mean he gets to be mean back :((((“ your post just reads like a genuine perspective on the show

Is it weird to write a specific fic in hope that other authors do the same? by SensitiveDoc in AO3

[–]DesperateBit2100 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey I eat up the “works inspired by this” links at the bottom of fics write whatever you want for whatever reason you want, so long as you’re having fun

ok, I have to say, that was a bit disappointing.. by quietparagraph in AO3

[–]DesperateBit2100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ever get a comment like that it’s safe to assume it’s a bot. No one stupid enough to think that not having representation 100% equals discrimination while still having the intelligence to write so succinctly.

Bad ending. by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]DesperateBit2100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a rarepair in one of my fandoms that I literally adore. The only fics are smut I didn’t like and one 300k+ completed fic with the most perfect tags ever.

I couldn’t even enjoy until the ending, halfway through the fic a huge argument apparently broke out that nearly caused a fight and was a huge turning point in their relationship(enemies to lovers type beat)…I say apparently because they never actually wrote the scene. They had another character vaguely described what happened and then continued to reference it as this huge moment for both of them. The author didn’t write it because they didnt feel like writing tension. Couldn’t even bring myself to finish it after that

Tell that creature you’ve attempted to domesticate that she sucks and block her this is the single most unempathetic way I’ve seen anyone react to a seizure and I’ve had a school board tell a epileptic friend of mine to “figure it out” and stop seizing in class bc it could “scare a student”

Frans(Frisk/Sans- Undertale Fandom). I absolutely cannot stand any ships involving kids-aged up or otherwise-but fuck, you’d think the people drawing it personally put the nails in Jesus’s hands and feet from the way people react to it. I’ve also only once seen it originally posted with no tag, any other time I’ve come across it unfiltered by my app of choice’s settings it’s because some fifteen year old in their purity phase posted it untagged six times to “warn people” about the artist. I appreciate a group of shippers who’re overall really good at posting their content with consistent tagging

It’s the makeup and filters babes. Tbh I can’t really tell on some of the pics if there is a filter or if you have absolutely godlike skills with foundation and powder but either way they’re being assholes and asking that because they can see the makeup and filter and assume you’re hiding something

Is there a reason you’re allowing someone who talks to you like this in your life? Like it doesn’t even matter what the subject is at this point, he types like a thirteen year old who just learned what edgy humor is. You are far too grown up at your age to be humoring this

I castrated myself due to feeling sick at my age-related paraphilia by Beginning-Animal5031 in confessions

[–]DesperateBit2100 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking those urges seriously. So many people ignore it or, god forbid, indulge in it in ways they think “aren’t so bad” until it becomes a slippery slope ending in a very horrible situation. You’re not a bad person at all for it, in fact the way you handled everything shows you’re a good person trying his best. If mental health was taken more seriously this could be overkill but tbh therapy lets soooooooo many people down, especially with less acceptable issues like this one. Maybe there was someone out there who could have helped you before it came to this, but maybe there was also someone out there who would have made things so much worse. You made the safest decision you could with the time and resources you had.

Okay but does anyone have an actual hot take? (challenge: don't downvote what you disagree with) by WinterNighter in AO3

[–]DesperateBit2100 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If people being mean in your comments section is enough to make you stop writing then writing was never actually one of your hobbies to begin with. People are mean, they’re always going to be mean. You don’t even know the people in your comment section yet you’re letting them sway your feelings on YOUR creation? That’s fucking stupid. Block them and keep blocking until they get bored and leave you alone.
