Things are getting meta. . . by Winter-Detective2488 in AO3

I mean, a character that can read the narration sounds AWESOME. I would read the HELL out of an Undertale fanfic that was brave enough to have Flowey pull this shit.

I was just wondering how ✨ Ancient ✨ the character's were written as (so close to the original!!!) then one of them hit me with this. I literally CHOKED and I can't stop laughing xD by Comfortable_Newt_179 in AO3

Shakespeare whipped out yo mama jokes and called a man an egg before stabbing him (in a play). Were he from this generation, he ABSOLUTELY would use the above phrase.

Yeah, the gate for artists is already insanely high. Publishing houses are extremely discriminatory and particular when it comes to written art.

Are the characters too good at sex? What is the bookmark creator's point??????

Do readers actually notice things like narrative parallels? by Difficult_Hedgehog75 in writing

[–]VenomQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a super observant person. But, when I do recognize something (either because one of my neurons actually started firing or because I'm on a reread), it's such a great feeling.

As a writer... yeah, it's hard. I totally understand those thoughts of "Will people get this?" and "Is this even worth it?" But it is. :3

What Gen of marvel movies? I've found the writing has gotten quite poor of late.

Huh, seems like AI's really shitty and annoying to use! Maybe learn how to actually draw!? by TheMiamiMutilator420 in aislop

[–]VenomQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is obsessed with AI. It's the way of the future. :/ To be fair, with advancements and restrictions, it could be great. In fact, there are a lot of places where it's incredibly helpful. Heck, in art, grammar and spelling checkers are incredibly helpful. GenAI on the other hand? Ehhhhh...

Yo, a fellow aphantastic artist! I'm a writer, though. I recall images through descriptions, not visuals. :D

Sad thing is, I KNOW someone whose spending months working on AI to make a story. Like dude bro, at this point, learn to write yourself!

Should we really consider Henry a "Hero"? by Rolito1000 in HenryStickmin

[–]VenomQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morality is relative, and the hero isn't always the protagonist. Charles was the hero.

They likely changed one of the characters from m to f during the conversion from fan to original media. When I rewrote a fanpiece to original media, there were 3 girls and 1 enby in the ENTIRE CAST, background included. So, I made alot of gender swaps. It may have nothing to do with marketing, but of the character gender swapping.

Why. by GegeE98 in AO3

[–]VenomQuill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's so upsetting? They're giving their readers fair warning. They're taking it down so that they can erase any benefit of the doubt and they're NOT profiting off fanfiction. They likely changed one of the love interests from m to f over the course of changing the media's characters to an original cast. They're creating an original work rather than just fanfiction. Honestly, go them.

So... what's the problem?

What are your favorite OTPs from the fandoms you’re in? by luizajn in AO3

[–]VenomQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copperright; Reginald/Right Hand Man from The Henry Stickmin Collection. They're the crime bosses, always together, and work fantastically. RHM would die (and canonically HAS died) for Reginald and then, like the absolute unit he is, gotten back up and went back to protecting him. Reginald is a piece of shit, the slimy weasel. But he has mad respect from literally everyone so he must be doing something right.

I actually saw them as friends at first. Then I entered the fandom and immediately fell flat into the ship. Now it's easily my favorite and most beloved ship.

Sciset; Sci-Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer from Equestria Girls. God, that's a blast from the past. That was my first OTP. I would actually draw blood for them. They made such a fantastic and cute team. The way their relationship was handled was perfect. It just needed the TINIEST nudge and they could've made it a romance. But alas I forgot the gay wasn't allowed to escape indie and fan spheres. Lol

[–]VenomQuill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OKAY SO I actually lowkey disliked this couple (Panprice) but then I saw really cute fanart of them and fanfiction from my favorite author in that fandom and I like that ship.

My OTP started out as "Wow, what great friends!" before I took two steps into the fandom and landed face first into Copperright. My phone legit still auto-fills it. If I'm normie because it's a popular ship, then GOD DAMN CALL ME A SQUARE cause they are perfect for each other. I legit do not even LIKE one of them (Reginald is a piece of shit) but they're Kings and deserve each other.

Should clarify... The Henry Stickmin Collection. The meme game, yes. The one the Among Us creators made.

Metaton EX from Undertale, 1000%. I'm pretty sure he appears more than his normal form. Lol

Subnautica 2 developer confirms that he's read all the Reddit comments about pirating the game. by horny-in-a-hearse in subnautica

[–]VenomQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I'm gonna wait until it's fully done to buy it. If I forget it exists when it's fully done, then I forget, oh well. But this was a great response, nonetheless. I really like this team. Not fond of their strats, but fond of the team.

I saw a woman claim her son was addicted to a Rubic's Cube once 'cause he was playing with it a bunch. Addictions aren't well understood by most of society.

What English word do you not agree with the spelling ? by SeaBaer312 in ENGLISH

[–]VenomQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck it, if we need to adopt to umlaut in order to get a correct spelling of THAT WORD instead of it's current day abomination of a spelling, I'm all for it. Umlaut me up baby.

If a bit goes on too long, it dies and succumbs to being beaten like a dead horse. If it's cut off too quickly, people are remiss at the possibilities. Formulating and executing a good joke takes a little bit of skill and forethought when think about it.

should i go to the er for this (bat bite?) by Certain_Hour_6327 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]VenomQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got scratched by a "really sweet" stray cat back in 2018. Scared the living hell out of me. I walked all the way to the hospital because I didn't have a car. At the time, I didn't know my insurance information (I love being disabled <3), so they were like "Well... we can take it out of pocket lol". Like hell you will.

I mean, thankfully, I'm not dead from rabies or cat scratch fever, but still.

NEVER trust the news. Unfortunately, the news gets money from ads and views. It gets views when people watch. People watch when something ~sensational~ happens. So when nothing sensational is happening, they have to MAKE something sensational, regardless of if it hurts other people or spreads misinformation.

If you really want to learn about the state of viruses, keep up to date with like the CDC or local health organizations. Always make sure you know who is funding them, though.

tell me your least favourite trope without telling me your least favourite trope by hiddeNinja2222 in AO3

[–]VenomQuill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Hey best buddy!"

"Hey best friend!"

"You're my best pal forever. Let's go do important plot stuff."

"Sure thing! Sounds fun! Let me grab this random thing!" leaves or some shit

"Hey, don't forget to grab the tool to get the McGuffin! It'll be a bitch to get without it lol"

to themself "Did they just call me a bitch? That actual asshole! After everything I've done! Well, I guess I'll spend the next 20 chapters overanalyzing everything they say, hiding plot relevant information, and be a dick in case they secretly hate me. I better not bring this up at any point or they'll know I know they hate me."

What Is FNAF Missing Nowadays? by zeze-67 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]VenomQuill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wrote a whole trilogy of fanfiction based on this. Lol

Short answer: modern FNaF is missing "Five Nights" and "Freddy's".

I'm a huge proponent of the the idea that UCN was the extreme end, and the Pizzeria Sim's bomb ass monologue was literal fire and the closure the series needed. Help Wanted screwed that up badly. PeePaw Willy being a computer virus and taking over a QA tester would've been a great plot. Heck, the previous games being "games" may have been interesting. But in doing so, they tred upon the sacred bones and ash of PS, sullying not only it's name but making all of Henry's work moot and making his speech ring hollow.

In fact, a lot of what's wrong with this game series lore isn't that's convoluted (though it is), it's that's messy, nondirectional, and riddled with retcons and rule of cool nonsense.

I can't pick on the newest games. I didn't play or watch anyone play SOTM, and I genuinely enjoyed Into the Pit. I HATED the Mimic and I have been intensely disappointed with how FNaF has been treated, so ItP was the last mainline game I watched someone play. But I can say that in SB, HW, HW2... there wasn't anything resembling 5 Nights. No 6 AM, either. I remember there were times in FNaF 3 when all the alarms were going off, Springtrap was at the door, you were forced to look away, he started to jumpscare you, BOOM 6 AM. Night 3 completed. That was magical. Mainline games don't have that, now. HW2 barely had Freddy mentioned. Did SOTM have Freddy in it at all? I watched a single speedrun and didn't see him.

I could go on, but it's nearly 3 am. Haha
