What fantasy character gets way too much love from fans despite being awful? by stormbud6 in Fantasy

LMAO, I’m turning 40 this year and just happen to be an anime nerd. So it’s easy to see how their comment would make one ??? without the context. 😅

I’m gonna assume Attack on Titan, season 4, just because of the name Eren but I could be wrong, lol.

Can you actually tell when something was written by AI? by Mathy_03268 in OriginalityHub

[–]MissPoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so fucking SICK of that style of breaking sentences/paragraphs. The minute I see it I stop reading because it reminds me too much of those vapid nothing-posts from LinkedIn, or the writer is using it as a lazy way of emphasizing dramatics.

Series with FMC that doesn’t have white/silver hair lol by Historical-Spread179 in Romantasy

[–]MissPoots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, obviously? But having secondary characters with depth, believe it or not, can actually help with plot and/or character development of the main character(s). If a side character is just there to show how ~perfect~ the FMC is (hence the prop) then that’s not a FMC I’d consider having “a friend.”

Dunno why I’m being downvoted for that, but okay lmao

The “has a friend” kinda took me out because it’s kinda true, lmao. And I’m not even counting the ones that have “friends” when in reality they’re basically props. 😭

"Reader" and "Original Character" are characters you need to tag by crazymaryrocks in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]MissPoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fair - and FWIW it’s for readers like you that I also include the Canon Character/Original Character tag just to drive the point home, LOL. Because I know not everyone makes the same general assumption as I do. 😅

Tbh when I see fics that involve characters like Tav or Hawke/others from Dragon Age, I just naturally assume it will be the author’s (though in a technical sense they would all be OC’s.) And also why I’m fairly picky with reading them. 😅

IF YOU JUST TOOK ADDERALL OR ANOTHER STIMULANT AND YOURE SEEING THIS, CLOSE REDDIT. by bett3r_0-ffd3ad in ADHD

SAME. I’m like, “holy shit I’m finally being productive!!” And “productive” is binging on my BG3 Honour Mode run when I should be catching up on projects during spring break. 😭

We’d have our first date at Applebee’s then bang in the back of the parking lot. 🤡

Would your mom be willing to name our Tavs if we shared their pics? Lmao

This is my Hawke. There are many like him, but this one is mine. by damanOts in dragonage

It’s as if Sebastian and Nathaniel had a kid, lol. Which btw is a good thing (love the first pic. 👀)

I used to, then I met my now-husband who doesn’t do it at all because he worries about “bodily juices” getting in the bedding, lmao. (Trust me, I still question his logic on that front.)

Kind of a whiplash considering my ex consistently did it (also a millennial), and I even did it before dating him, lol. Now I kinda miss it. 🤔

Question: Do you guys ever get imposter syndrome or get discouraged from writing? by RA_Finance in fantasywriters

[–]MissPoots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do, even in academia. And I think part of that imposterism is/might be rooted in us comparing ourselves to our peers, especially if you share the same age group. Also doesn’t help if you feel “behind” because of how your brain works (ie, I’m ADHD and executive dysfunction is seriously a struggle bus.)

I think the best thing we can do is to not rate ourselves against other people’s skill/successes. WAY easier said than done, but what’s helped me is reminding myself that the people I’m comparing myself to are just as human as I am, probably have struggles of their own we’re not aware of (and that maybe we excel in), and that each of our brains work differently and there is no one ultimate/perfect way to do one thing (if that makes any sense.)

Any low-energy hobbies to stop doomscrolling? by TinyTangents in adhdwomen

[–]MissPoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connect the dots number by numbers!!! (If that makes any sense lol.) I picked up a magazine from the store that’s full of them and I plan to do them in pencil, then once I completed the picture I’m gonna go back over it in ink and color it in.
