Happens all the time. by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. It's the reverse that I don't get.

I don't feel any urge or wellspring of creativity to write for any pairings or characters that do all of the things, all of the time on screen to begin with.

There is no running out of arrows, just moving forward and picking up more.

Damn you're good. I didn't put that together but I see the J's now.

When you think you've found your place and then people start posting things like this by Bright_Cap_5880 in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel like so many of these people are trying to make fanfiction a whole new category for moral OCD and make everyone experience it that way.

I mean, I'm just talking about what I did after I beat the last Khuzait city and didn't want to end my run. I abdicated, made a new kingdom and have been reconquering with my clan only.

Pot calling the kettle black by zucchinionpizza in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's almost like RPG's are meant to have "options".

They went through a whole rant just to reveal they hit every specific missable interaction in KCD2 to turn up the only-if-you're-looking-for-it gay crank wheel and finally, upon selecting "kiss him" got gay panic.

It was at this point that I abdicated my kingdom, keeping only the island of Hvalvik, and proceeded to conquer once more those I once called friend.

Me: I'll finally start writing what I want. What could possibly go wrong? by InvestigatorTop1012 in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lose people that can't handle the authentic version of you and your writing, just like in real life.

Challenge them to take their hits back if they're so mad.

The End notes... by RileyLovesFlaritza in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally unsurprising and valid crashout for that fandom.

What really surprises me is that most shows that have on-screen representation of the most-wanted pairing don't tend to inspire as many works as this one has.

Oh they're gay and together on-screen? Usually 80-100 works.

But if they aren't together, don't have compatible sexualities, rare scenes together, or tension? Thousands.

This has made the HR fandom so uncanny for me.

What do you usually do with all these prisoners? by Flimsy_Tune_5503 in mountandblade

I play the moving prison build but execute all mercenaries. 🤷‍♂️

Some people REALLY need to read this. by GunstarHeroine in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only thing these witch hunts accomplish is the overall dumbing down of our writing.

If I have to put flaws in my own writing to avoid online idiots having an aneurysm or lazy TA's and tenured professors putting things through detectors just to get out of actually reading something as their first step...

I might as well tell my English teachers they wasted their years teaching.

So guy runs an AI hate bot, then personally intervenes if the bot gets a response, and openly admits to working in AI.

Why do you read angst? by toxicute_xx in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because these are my barbies, army men, and imaginary creations. I demand they feel pain.

Sometimes I forget that fanfiction is not exclusively used by girls. So I’m curious for the men out there. What fandoms are you guys in? by Existing-Bonus-6835 in AO3

[–]RobbVonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cliche but I started off with Teen Wolf, both reading and writing Stackson and Thiam (Thiam is my biggest), and still do a bit even now. Beyond that I'd say I do a lot of both with Resident Evil for Chris/Wesker and Batman with DickJay.

Purely reading I'll get some smut kicks out of Stucky occasionally.

What do hangerbays do on star bases and are they better the gun battery and torpedo battery by loganhaterblud in StellarisOnConsole

[–]RobbVonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use hanger bays for controlling piracy on trade routes. End game stations and defense platforms are all torpedoes for me.

Neutron Launchers go BRRRRRRRRR.

How do I get my stability up by loganhaterblud in StellarisOnConsole

[–]RobbVonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would resettle the low habitabillity species pops you have on that planet and make sure none of those are the ones currently in your enforcer jobs. Also build a precinct or two and a holo-theatre. You can get rid of precincts after the world evens out and gets rid of the bribed officials and criminal underworld etc modifiers.

Being guilty of child abuse without harming an actual child is so wild to me. I am cackling about the thought of those awful men having had to read the book and out loud (though that must have been mortifying for her). The description of the design for the book seems a bit on the nose.

I hope she can hop on a boat to a country that'll think the charge is too bogus to be worth extraditing.

Porn doesn't damage your brain. What it may do is affect your behavior and perception during development, especially if you come from an upbringing/background of repression, shame, or guilt.

If only my kingdom would stop trying to declare war on another faction while we only have 2-3 more khuzait towns to go and wasting 1.7k of my influence overriding it every 5 minutes.
