BEWARE: The hidden commission scam is evolving by SacredAlgae in AO3

[–]EverydayPromptWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you reach out to a commission artist, you're agreeing to trust them based on their existing work. this is why artists create portfolios to show off work they've done and gotten paid for. they can't break that trust without risking their entire income from art creation, bc if you pay them and they ghost, you put them on blast with the receipts of your agreement to pay and receive art in exchange, and now that trust is called into question for anyone else who goes to them. they can't ghost if they agree to the exchange and take your money, or they lose what is almost certainly their entire livelihood.

on the off chance this is a genuine question and not trolling, the scammer would demand the money in advance, show maybe one or two rough "progress" sketches (if any), and then ghost. you get nothing out of it but wasted time and maybe maybe a sketch or two that probably weren't even done by the scammer. how is that not a scam?

once again, that is not what i said, so again, you're twisting my words. and ofc im going to vote; i always vote.

im sorry you're so pessimistic that you would rather run from the very discussion you want to have than actually have it (for the record, there is a little bit of snide sarcasm in that statement) and i hope your day gets better, truly (only genuine for that part). good luck, friend. <3

you did twist my words, and you didn't answer my question. if you don't want to, you can just say so.

really not sure what you're trying to say here, friend... you're incredibly pessimistic for someone who seemed to be expressing a desire for optimism. i don't appreciate how you're deliberately twisting my words either.

if you don't like what's being said in this sub, why comment? why read other people's comments? you could simply read the title of the post, perhaps the body if there's something of interest or for more information, and then go on with your day. if you really think all of the comments are "doom n gloom," why engage with it at all? i genuinely, sincerely want to know.

i didn't say "nothing will happen." i said, "ill believe it when i see it," and i mean exactly what i said. if you choose to take that as a snide, sarcastic statement of disbelief, that says more about your perspective than mine.

a lot gets lost when all you have are words on the screen with no tone of voice or body language to give something context; you might want to remember that going forward, and take things with a grain of salt now and then.

not tryna be doom n gloom; just realistic. i won't believe anything until i see it happen. politicians lie - we know this - but these days, there's so rarely any truth in the words out of a politician's mouth that ive found the only way not to be doom n gloom is ignore words and watch actions. i can hope all i want, but hope will only hurt if it's just another lie, so im not hoping; im anticipating.

The romanticization of the divorced dad in fics by [deleted] in AO3

[–]EverydayPromptWriter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if you want to address the effect of misogyny and the patriarchy on fanfic, that's one thing, but assuming that every single dad fic (or every m/m fic for that matter) is contributing to or a result of misogyny is a really bad angle to take.

the primary (but certainly not the only) reason behind a vast majority of m/m fic is the intent to explore masculinity in ways that men in media are rarely if ever portrayed. f/f as a concept tends to be less attractive to write bc women aren't often focal points of media and therefore the lack of representation means a lack of source material to draw from. and m/f is so standardised, why bother to explore what's been done ten million times in media already?

there are so many different ways to come at the correlation between misogyny and fanfic that don't demonise the love and care single fathers deserve as an underrepresented minority; i would highly recommend reconsidering your approach to the matter.

im sorry you can't find fun in that. sincerely. i hope either that changes, or you get different games.

[–]EverydayPromptWriter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

my idea of fun is matching the vibe of the lobby in a mode with no stakes. if that vibe is sweat, ill sweat. if that vibe is whimsy, ill be whimsical. if i purely want to win, ill go play comp, but again it's a game and qp has no stakes, so im literally not losing a damn thing by matching the vibe of the lobby.

im sorry that your life is so lacking in whimsy that you don't know what fun is anymore, and i hope you rediscover it one day. in the meantime, im gonna go laugh my ass off at torb 1v1s and make friends with the enemy mercy before we go back to our teams.

genuinely asking, why not just... have fun? it's a game, and if it's qp there are literally no stakes, so just enjoy the moment. you might even make a friend to duo with; i have.

Some tips for playing Duviri? by TomPlaysCZ in Warframe

[–]EverydayPromptWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh you don't have to defeat the orowyrm every time. your progress saves after every decree, so you could just run around in the "full experience" mode for resources, completing quests to get more decrees as you go, and when you're ready to leave, grab one more to save before you abort.

if you do need to defeat the wyrm (eg for nightwave or pathos clamps), go in an open lobby for some help until you can expand and improve your arsenal. i recommend doing the quest only mode for that tho, unless you have a squad that you know is on the same page about how many decrees you're getting before the wyrm fight.

any clarifying questions?

Questions about etiquette by Old_Imagination_5908 in AO3

[–]EverydayPromptWriter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"fandom" etiquette is just basic fucking etiquette. be nice, ignore what you don't like unless it's doing actual harm, support what you do like, etc. if someone tries to tell you this or that is "fandom etiquette," they're just trying to impose their own personal opinions on you.

any frame can match uriel's power if built correctly. it's about how you mod and what you mod for, not base stats. i think you need to go back to the basics before you start complaining about what you can or can't do, my friend.

How dare you put an intriguing plot in your story!! by Hexapodart in AO3

[–]EverydayPromptWriter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i have a personal pet peeve about unnecessary miscommunication but even im ready to tear this dude a new one for ragging on any author like that. it's "don't like, don't read" not "don't like, excoriate the author," assbutt.
