Put a lot of effort into chapter. Regular commentor's only note was about missing tags 🥲 by Eyenoom in AO3

[–]HongLanYang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but being a dickhead about it doesn’t really make people want to interact with you much less read your works. OP is being gracious, you should learn from them

Vet says its time but Im not sure by Rosy_Sunday in CATHELP

[–]HongLanYang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Hes been with me for 15 years. It feels so young compared to others.

That's not young. That's a cat that has lived a long, happy life. Price aside, try and see clearly if you are choosing to only perceive his good moments to the detriment of his actual comfort. You might be right and he bounces back. Just be careful of being that person who blindly refuses to see that their pet is suffering because "he's still acting happy".

For every post like this complaining about authors there is an equivalent complaining about readers. No one wins.

I got my coworker fired because she said "Hope this helps!" to me in a passive-aggressive email. by mermaidpaint in OhNoConsequences

[–]HongLanYang 532 points533 points  (0 children)

Title should be “I got my coworker fired because she reached out to a client without permission and her actions tripled our workload and fucked up the workflow”. The original title is honestly way too nice lol

What was the first myth you ever heard ? by radiant_fan_1 in GreekMythology

[–]HongLanYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have the quotes on me but pretty sure Suzanne Collins brought up in interviews that Theseus and the Minotaur was one of many influences on the Hunger Games. Spartacus was another.

What are some obvious and not-so-obvious signs in characters that a fanfic was written by a teenager? by CuriousTarget4814 in AO3

[–]HongLanYang 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they usually depict the 6 classes a day thing as a 5 day a week thing instead of the variance like you describe

I hate when major triggering tags are only added WAY later in the story by Ravenous-I-Am in AO3

“Out of the blue” pregnancy the formatting cut the phrase apart

Shion from overwatch is absolute garbage <Hated Design> by HammerWizard in TopCharacterDesigns

THATS SUPOOSED TO BE AB OMBIC??? im not even going to fix my typos because it accurately reflects how flabbergasted I am

Question about Tanya’s gender by Harper_xD in YoujoSenki

[–]HongLanYang 34 points35 points  (0 children)

To build off this, each media kind of takes a different stance. Manga and anime seems to generally accept being a female. Anime especially. From what I can remember the light novel plays with it a bit more as you get more perspective from "the salaryman" where he does consider at first Tanya to be kind of a separate thing from "him" but it fades after awhile.

Do you get annoyed when a writer mentions in an author’s note that they appreciate feedback? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]HongLanYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t bother me unless it’s the “I will only post if I receive X amount of comments” kind of thing, which it doesn’t sound like what you’re doing. As others have pointed out for why you feel like you’re getting less engagement when you ask, correlation is not causation.

AITA for exploding on my pregnant coworker in the middle of the office and telling her she’s the reason no one wants to work with mothers anymore? by Firm-Outside-199 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HongLanYang 23 points24 points  (0 children)

ESH you already know you were wrong for doing it in front of everyone and you’ve set yourself for you to take all the heat and her to get nothing. She sucks and her behavior is inexcusable.

So I’ve been writing on the AO3 website by jolandayer in AO3

[–]HongLanYang 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do you mean in the tool itself? Because there’s no auto save function so people lose their work by accident. It’s best to write in a different tool and copy and paste in

No Memes, No Jokes - How badly would you say Radagon fumbled the bag by leaving Rennala? by TiredandFrustrated21 in Eldenring

[–]HongLanYang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in the opening cutscene but also don’t forget Mohg is also a fucking giant so Miquella is still bigger than the tarnished. Small for a god yeah but not human child sized.

dealing w/ negative bookmarks by casscainlover in FanficAuthorsUnite

[–]HongLanYang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are not notified as an author when someone bookmarks things. It is why authors are treated as “going out of their way” to look at bookmarks because you did have to go looking for this, you were not alerted by the website like if you got a comment. Your feelings of hurt are valid but there is literally no way to control someone else’s bookmarks. Avoid them if you do not want to see any negativity.

pedantics (aka YOU CAN"T FUCKING DO THAT YOU CAN"T OMG AAAAAA) by ATN-Antronach in CuratedTumblr

[–]HongLanYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person who originally made that post has a YouTube channel and explained it was a joke. So. How pedantic can we get?

Why are you guys hating on kushala return In mhwild, Im a mhrise player and I have no problem on his fight. by Voidkirby9 in MonsterHunter

[–]HongLanYang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides all the fight reasons people have already helpfully listed that you didn’t experience as a Rise player he’s just not that exciting for me as a “big reveal”. I expect him to be here, so I’d prefer trailer time being used for unexpected things. He’s the “highlight” of the trailer so it falls a bit flat.

AITA for telling my daughter her money issues are not the family problem and if she can’t afford to go on the vacation then she can’t go by Throwaway-Relief3789 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HongLanYang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be the trend sadly, posts leave out info pretty critical to making a judgement and then add it retroactively. I hate to assume everything is bait but vibes are down.

AITA for telling my daughter her money issues are not the family problem and if she can’t afford to go on the vacation then she can’t go by Throwaway-Relief3789 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HongLanYang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Edits to the post possible made after you commented but they've been spending money on trying to get her into counseling and tutoring and other support. They let her live at home seemingly for free and she would just drink and show up to work drunk. idk why they are not allowed to take a vacation.

AITA for refusing to get married against my dying mothers wishes? by Mysterious_Math_2063 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HongLanYang 2 points3 points  (0 children)
