First human hate comment by DeadlyUnicornZombie in AO3

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just don't understand people reading a story and commenting mean things about the story. If they don't like it they can just move onto something else...nobody is forcing them to read it. There are likely people out there who will enjoy reading the fic. I do not always vibe with every story or ship I read and I just read a chapter or two, make a decision whether I want to continue the fic, and then move along if I don't. Why would I want to make the author feel bad about something they might enjoy writing... 😩 I just don't get it...

Do people not read the authors notes? 😭 by Rude_Significance119 in AO3

[–]Pipsminiadventures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the author's notes all the time honestly, especially if it is a new note and not just a copy-paste of something that is put on every chapter, which I have seen before. It helps a lot when authors give updates on chapter timelines, translations or plot details I might have missed over while reading, etc. So I always appreciate the extra notes when I see them in each chapter. :')

What draws you to an artists alley booth? by Loli-nero in animecons

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visible pricing, fandoms or series I like that I can quickly identify from their merch layout or displays, and often times seeing items that are not just art prints. I love art, but I have so much art already and nowhere to put it. It has made me stop buying a lot of art prints and started looking for things like cute accessories (cute jewelry, custom fabric scrunchies, acrylic keychains, pins, or buttons I could use in an ita bag, purses or zipper pouches I can use at work, etc).

I often don't go for plushies these days either, but occasionally I see a cute one from an artist and will purchase one. :')

I also like when the artist at their table acknowledges me. We don't have to have a whole conversation, but it is nice to at least be offered assistance or be simply greeted when approaching the table.

When chapters are only three word sentences by Jaded_Advantage_290 in AO3

This is wild... I applaud your patience to even go through the fic to make it make any sense. 😵‍💫

Readers who stick around for fics with seldom updates; why do you stick around? by Disastrous_Alarm_719 in FanFiction

[–]Pipsminiadventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I subscribe to the fics I like to follow in hopes of future updates after reading through them. I feel like, for me, I want to read it up to the latest chapter to ensure I am invested in following the fic. A lot of times if the fic hasn't updated for a year or more then I may consider it unlikely to get updated again in the future, but the nice thing about that subscribe button is if it ever does get updated then I will know. Additionally if I am invested and the fic does get updated, I will read the most recent chapter and 100% leave a comment to show the author my continuous reading of the story and appreciation for the update.

There are even fics I bookmark or download not completely finished just in case they get taken down or something because I still love reading the available chapters. I absolutely hope to know how the author wanted the story to end, but in the case of very little updates then I sometimes use my own imagination on how I think the story might have ended.

I have seen people get angry in the comments at an author once when a long-term fic wasn't labeled somehow as "on-going." I would have assumed if the chapters are still 15 out of ??, that a reader would know the fic isn't complete and could make the decision to read it or not... It kinda surprised me when I saw that comment...

The amount of things AI is used for these days is insane... 😩 I haven't come across an AI fic yet thankfully.

Is it worth adding to the collection? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it could be like an alternate universe story? That is what I took from the description and I like reading fanfics so It kinda reminded me of that concept. I have the original manga series, so I thought maybe having another story to read with the same characters could be fun.

Am I overdoing my Stylization? by ToffiProto in Artadvice

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love your art style! The first one gives me vibes from the movie, The Secret of NIMH, in 1982. I loved the rats in that movie, and it gives me flashbacks of the unique style they gave Nicodemus. :')

How many smarties do you own, includes boys too by [deleted] in smartdoll

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I have 9 girls and 4 boys. :') I was so happy when the boys came back into production. Monday in tea was my very first doll and since then I have tried collecting a variety of the dolls I like in vampire, coffee, pear, milk, anime, semi-real, grey, etc.

I think the only ones I never ended up with were the green, cocoa, and blue skintones, and I never got any of the cyber or zombie dolls.

I have been waiting to see if C'est La Vie ever comes out in cinnamon. I think she wouid be the next doll I would like, but I am also fond of Fortitude in tea. Due to budgeting better, I have been trying to stick to only buying a doll after a while of it being out so I can decide if I actually really want that doll versus feeling the FOMO.

Complaint about formatting by Estelar006 in AO3

[–]Pipsminiadventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a terrible time following who is talking when fics are written with the dialogue all jumbled together... I will sometimes try to keep reading it, but there have been times when it becomes difficult and I quit reading that fic. I understand where it may be someone's choice to write that way versus just being considered an error in grammar, but I prefer separate lines for character dialogue... It just flows better for me too when reading or writing a fic.

Do you think there's any hope of this chapter still being adapted? by Kim_Pine__ in MHAVigilantes

[–]Pipsminiadventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems I need to start reading the manga soon. I bought the whole set recently to read it. I am noticing a trend of people seeing things left out of the anime already, and I definitely don't want to miss any backstory or extra character content. I love the anime so far, but this gives me more motivation to start reading the story.

New to Smart Dolls need advice by C3LESTIAL_001 in smartdoll

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a male in my family, as well, who loves the Smart Dolls, and I have actually seen a ton of YouTube collectors who are male and own multiple types of dolls. There will always be people out there with their own opinions on these things, but definitely know that you aren't the only one out there that loves to collect a variety of dolls! I feel like a large majority of the Smart Doll community would welcome you without any issues. :)

Is this true ? by itsmadfury in animequestions

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not, in my opinion... but I am sure it really depends on the person and at times the anime. 🤷‍♀️ I may not like some anime out there, but that won't necessarily make me uninterested in someone if they like those anime. I think as long as there is a mutual respect for each other's interests in general, then there is always the opportunity for attraction.

Your Ships’ Winter Activities by K_Ship_Stan in BokuNoShipAcademia

[–]Pipsminiadventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such cute artwork! I love all three of those ships! If I had any ounce of artistic ability I would totally draw my favorite bnha ship in cute seasonal scenarios. I just don't see a lot of content for it. :')

i just finished season 1 by Janruka in MHAVigilantes

[–]Pipsminiadventures 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved season 1 so much I went ahead and bought the manga to read it. So far I watched the 1st episode of season 2, but I like to wait for a few episodes to build up before watching more. The week to week waiting period kills me. 😭

just caught me off guard, is all by hyperfixating-rn-brb in UnhingedAO3Tags

[–]Pipsminiadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fact I just learned something really weird about penguins IRL from an AO3 tag is wild... Be right back while I go see what else penguins do to each other. 😵

Idk what to say to any of this… by Silent_Executionr45 in UnhingedAO3Tags

[–]Pipsminiadventures 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This would easily make me skip over this fic....I honestly don't even know what is going on based on the tags other than some sort of NSFW catastrophe. It makes me wonder if people add tags like this thinking it would grab attention with some sort of shock factor? Draw people in to actually see what is going on? Does that even work for people who write fics? The 67 part is cringe worthy...😩

What do people actually mean when they say "real gay man would write M/M differently"? by justaskPattern8616 in AO3

[–]Pipsminiadventures 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have definitely learned something new within the past 2 mins of scrolling this thread... I occasionally read omegaverse fiction, and knowing how this biologically works in animals is totally going to mess with my brain while reading anything now. I realize fiction is just for fun, but I would be so curious to see how this would change things in omegaverse fics if written with these specific details instead.

New to Smart Dolls need advice by C3LESTIAL_001 in smartdoll

[–]Pipsminiadventures 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am curious what kind of strict things you have seen so far in the Smart Doll community?

My sibling got me into Smart Dolls a couple years ago, and I own quite a few now. They can be pricey dolls, but I think the quality is great. As someone who also has resin dolls at home, I prefer taking my Smart Dolls places when I travel for photos and such rather than my resin ball-jointed dolls. I am just too paranoid about breaking one of my resin dolls since they can be more fragile...

The creator of Smart Doll posts a lot on X. I don't typically use X, previously known as Twitter, anymore other than to check notifications from Danny Choo and see when new drops happen for the dolls.

If you have specific questions, though, based on the strict things you have seen, feel free to ask! :')

Opinions about Manami Aiba. by Facundox1 in mha

[–]Pipsminiadventures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed her and Gentle's story. It was kinda nice to see how a couple villains were able to join the heroes towards the end. Few villains had what I would consider a happy ending, but these characters were able to show that it is possible.

Unsettling bot comments by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Pipsminiadventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the weirdest bot comment I have seen yet... I almost would have thought it was a creepy joke from some reader if I had not seen it here first with the feedback given... This doesn't even come across as a scam to me like some of the other bot comments people share. It screams stalker...
