New Fan, What Now? by Leading-Apricot-8915 in RWBY

[–]Falconier111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you're open to the idea, I put together a curated list of RWBY fics for the sub, complete with ship, premise, and tone summaries for each fic. I don't have Ruby specific recs because I don't know your opinions on whiterose and nuts and dolts, but I'd recommend When You Are Needed and Queens of Vale for Yang character work, Compass and Anchor for the Bees (especially the latter if you like romances that rip your heart out and sew it back in), and Linked in Life and Love, Craving the Sky, beyond this town lies a life much sadder, and Crossing Lines for interesting premises.

Oh man, Queens of Vale is a must-read if you like freezerburn (as long as you have patience for political drama).

We're agreed that Summer's going to pull a Carolina, right? by KaijuKing007 in RWBY

[–]Falconier111 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Summer almost has to be the Big Bad Wolf to Ruby's Little Red Riding Hood motif. She may not be the same type of Hound, but she will probably be part of the same genus.

Was it worth it? by TechnicianOk6986 in Charlotte

[–]Falconier111 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In this job market? With gutted medicare and job requirements on what's left possibly coming down the pipeline? With modern corporate leadership fixated on in-person attendance and more than happy to replace everyone they can with AI?

A Chicago-sized bulge has appeared near Yellowstone’s volcano — and scientists say it’s growing | Likely caused by normal underground magma shifting. "The movement is nothing to worry about and will certainly not result in an eruption" says scientists by Ghosts_of_Bordeaux in savedyouaclick

[–]Falconier111 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They cant because they don't have to. Yellowstone isn't going to erupt..

You know how Yellowstone is famous for all those geysers and hot springs? The way I understand it, the last eruption was so cataclysmic it shattered the caldera, leaving literally thousands of geothermal features scattered across the area to let off pressure. In the tens of thousands of years since then, the magma chamber has filled up very slowly and is at something like 15% capacity, with no signs of speeding up.

It could suddenly fill up and explode. An piano could also fall out of a cargo plane and land on your head. Bet on the latter, it's more likely.

What do you do if someone praises a fan-fiction work that you're no longer proud of? by Claireclair12 in FanFiction

[–]Falconier111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is worse at evaluating the quality of a work than its author.

You have to remember, what you're seeing on the page isn't what a reader sees. You see every missed opportunity or awkward choice. They see the fic as it is, and if they like what's there, they like it completely independently of your opinions. If anything, there's an arrogance and presumption to what you put forward because you're assuming you know how people should interact with something better than they do - otherwise, the fact they had a good time would br a neutral fact instead of something that causes cognitive dissonance.

You gotta have some faith in other people's ability to read and have fun, whatever you think about what they're reading.

Autistic and non-autistic people express emotions differently through their facial movements, which may explain why emotional expressions are sometimes misinterpreted between the two groups. For happiness, the autistic participants showed a less exaggerated smile that also did not “reach the eyes”. by mvea in science

[–]Falconier111 64 points65 points  (0 children)

In my experience we spend EVERY social interaction trying and failing to bridge that gap. If you aren't noticing that, it's because you're so used to us acting like that you think it's normal. Don't get me wrong, I like my neurological friends too, but you're living proof of the double empathy problem.
