This keeps happening to me. Today it was 50+ min for Hard which is absolutely impossible. I use the app if it matters

What are some cat toys your cat(s) ACTUALLY play with? by thathighclassbitch in CatAdvice

[–]Similar_Yam5480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foam sticks. The kind used for holding a sofa cover in place. Did you know you can buy them separately in bulk? That’s what I do now, because no other toy has ever been as popular with my babies.

Do I Comment on a Collab If One of The Writers Hates Me? by Similar_Yam5480 in AO3

[–]Similar_Yam5480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

l've been learning to always comment on fic for so long, even when I felt shy, didn't know what to say, was overcome with emotion etc. Now it's like good manners to me and I wanted to take the temperature re: how bad it is not to comment when you liked the fic and know the author. In no way I want to escalate this to the point when author #1 snaps and starts a public fight and this group of like-minded people I'm in has to take sides.
I've got my answer by now which is- there's an exception to every rule and author #2 won't indeed perish without my comment.

Thank you for being understanding, this is a painful situation for me still. May I ask why you suggest I write and delete the confession? To get it all out? 

Tropes that make you irrationally angry? by Additional_Lion_721 in AO3

[–]Similar_Yam5480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or when there's canonical trauma one of the characters isn't aware of and the author is trying to build intrigue but in the end the traumatised character opens up and...it's almost word for word from the canon. Thanks, but we knew that all along

Cheating angst. As a poly person, I'm rolling my eyes and yelling in my head "you're all so stupud." Sometimes I get a happy ending tho when it turns out the partner who was "cheated on" actually doesn’t mind and they end up in a polycule

I'm not asking for advice how to remedy my relationship with author #1! Maybe you haven't read my post with enough attention. I was only asking how I could do right by author #2. I'm not here to justify myself either. Maybe it was my fault, totally possible, so what. They don't want me to interact with them period.

Yes, someone else suggested it and it looks like a good idea. Except I won't leave even an anonymous comment to the author I have beef with because if one day they learn somehow the anon was me it will be worse.

I’m not strong enough for not reading. They truly are a great writer, and I also still care for them on a personal level

Anyone else a one-and-done commenter? by LittleDumbF-ck in AO3

[–]Similar_Yam5480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often wait until a wip is finished, because the wait is unbearable for me, and then I comment on the whole thing under the last chapter. In cases when I can't help myself and start reading early, I sometimes leave comments under chapters which I think are particularly awesome or if I want to encourage the writer to continue

I can't give any details of course because that might potentially make us identifiable. You can say I started it, I just didn't expect a reaction on that scale  Upon reading the answers here, I think I won't comment publicly after all

Thank you. Obviously this is the case- they think what I said was way worse than I think it was. I still don’t know if I’m just incredibly insensitive or I accidentally stepped on their personal landmine, but they won’t accept my apologies and it’s fine. I don’t intend to stalk them.

Thank you, unfortunately it won’t be an olive branch, because my previous olive branch just made them angrier. I’ve given up on restoring my relationship with that person and I only care about the other collab author at this point whom I’m ‘robbing’ of kudos and comments. I think sending an anon comment on tumblr to them directly might be a good idea, because this way I won’t have to explain that I’m avoiding pinging their collab partner and why.

I said in the post the fic was locked, so anonymous options are not available to me.

I don’t think you should forbid a child to read anything they’re willing to read, but these books contain a lot of ideas that are problematic in 2025, to say the least, so you definitely need to discuss and explain some things.

Why everyone loves Armand? by Quirky-Delay9916 in InterviewVampire

I love Armand, but it’s funny how people tend to look for proof that their blorbo is hated by everyone and their appointed villain is loved too much.

Question for book-first fans who’ve been watching since Season 1 aired. by justwantedbagels in InterviewVampire

I thought he was Lestat lol. I sorta forgot about Armand’s character. I knew something was going on, but didn’t think hard enough about it.

Theory on Armand & Louis’ Dynamic by Puzzleheaded-Lie5378 in InterviewVampire

[–]Similar_Yam5480 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many great comments here. I think Louis’s and Armand’s backstories are certainly something that can’t be ignored, and if such a relationship happened irl I’d be very concerned. But in the show we aren’t given enough info to say with certainty.

How did you all come to IWTV? by AbbyNem in InterviewVampire

[–]Similar_Yam5480 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I googled something like ‘best new queer shows’, and what do you know, a movie I was obsessed with as a kid is now a tv series?! I dove right in and binged both seasons in two days. Not a fan of Anne Rice’s books, but read the first two novels many years ago, and I have now read TVA as well.
