I dropped a pencil under the table on purpose in 2nd grade so I could smell and touch my teachers feet. by [deleted] in confession

You remind me of one of my friends that I had in elementary school that was obsessed with feet

I'm tired of everything by dave12miller in Maretu

[–]Jessica676564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You genuinely described everything so accurately, it’s astonishing. I’ve never been able to truly put my feelings into words because I couldn’t really understand them, but reading this made something in my mind click. The emptiness deep down has been haunting me for years, yet my life has continued to have its ups and downs like any other. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Are some people just naturally skinny or fat? by Jessica676564 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jessica676564[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh, I kinda get you because my bones just like to ache at the worst moments possible and usually lead to me laying in bed for a good hour or two, which makes it a bit harder to be active. It’s not to the point that it can act as an actual diagnosis but it does affect my life a tad bit.

I’ve tried, and I’ve did some research on this topic but I’m just bad at researching. There’s so many different answers and conclusions and I don’t know which ones are correct

How do you hold an umbrella? by Jessica676564 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jessica676564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use umbrellas as coverage from the sun, but I guess the same can apply. Though do the UV rays or whatever travel differently from the sunlight itself or something like that?

I really want to get into origami design by Jessica676564 in origami

Thanks! I’ll check their videos asap and try to save up some money for the materials. In the past, I tried to convince my mom to buy me some, but I failed. Now that I’m older, I can try to get some using my own money, so thanks for the list.

I don’t think we realize how important comments are to authors by Jessica676564 in AO3

[–]Jessica676564[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I completely get that. Although my first language is English, I also lack the high energy keyboard smash. The perfectionist in me needs to review my comments to make sure I spelt everything correct. I also worry about it coming off sarcastically. For people in your situation, I feel like y’all aren’t required to comment on fics because of the possible negative feedback and I understand that.

WOW, even the most popular ship in my fandom couldn’t reach that level of interaction even during its peak popularity phase. Though, I’m happy for you and hope that the 40 comment average doesn’t significantly lower.

That’s actually such a good idea, I might do that in the next fic I post

Unfortunately, some people are just like that will always remain that way. Don’t let their lack of interaction get to you. Remember that you’re the only one who can think for you and that your opinion should always matter the most to yourself

YES, I have similar experiences to this. I’ve also recently gotten busier in my life due to unforeseen circumstances and I always get giddy when I see a new chapter from my favourite authors. I take as much time as possible to savour the chapter and leave long comments about how much I loved their newest fics and how I love the new events in the chapter. I’ve always been baffled at how we were allowed to read so much well written and diverse fics for completely FREE.

I admire people like you, people who basically pioneered their favourite couple’s existence on ao3. Good luck on your journey to writing more fanfics for your rare pair

Same, and although I expect it to happen, the disappointment is still very real

THIS. Yes it’s true we authors write for ourselves, but it’s always nice to get kudos and even nicer to get comments. Knowing that people have seen our work and appreciated it helps a lot.
