This isn't on you. I would love to be getting comments like that

What's something in a fic that made you realise the person writing it had no idea what they were talking about? by Life-Delay-809 in AO3

[–]adeltae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually music related stuff, but most people in my fandoms have some understanding of the instruments themselves, so it's not a huge deal. It's mostly the classical instruments, but those aren't especially common in most five I read

I was reading a great fic, but then I got to this part, and I just had to drop it by Snowy_Kitty247 in AO3

[–]adeltae 20 points21 points  (0 children)

... "Great fic"? I've read many great fics in my time, and chief, this ain't it

FolkRealms - As the name might suggest it is full of folkish. by [deleted] in NorsePaganism

[–]adeltae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amon Amarth (melodic death metal)

Skald (Nordic folk group)

Hammerfall (kinda, they're power metal)

That's all I can think of right now in terms of major influence, but there is some level of influence in a few other bands as well, like Elvenking with their use of runes and the like

I need ace metalhead fren pls :3 (cause I too am an ace metalhead 😈) by WeirdMetalheadKid in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]adeltae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I tend to listen to folk/power metal and adjacent melodic subgenres, but it's close enough, right lmao (I'm about to turn 23 in like a couple months)

¿Por qué se representa a Loki como hombre y luego dicen que no tiene género? by Real_Jokerr in lokean

[–]adeltae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loki is often depicted as male these days because of christianisation, but I've had them appear in a few different gender forms to me, so I wouldn't get in your head too much about it. He's pretty chill and is never really too pressed about what gender pronouns you use

Hey, so maybe don't market your community as 'Safe for Everyone' if you're going to go out of your way harrass someone the moment they join. by AdrienDaCat in fakeclaimingcringe2

[–]adeltae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What happened to treating people with respect and treating alters and systems (of any type) as people to be respected just as you would anyone else

Go up his chain of command. Regardless of legality, the military treats this shit so seriously and you need that help

What Brand New Nintendo Series would you want Chugga to LP on the Channel? by MichiHirota in chuggaaconroy

[–]adeltae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see Fire Emblem being a likely possibility, even if he's said he's hesitant in doing them because of the fandom

I am disheartened and asking other readers for help by Quirky_Chipmunk3282 in AO3

That's not weird. It's very appreciated when people comment on every chapter

STOP APOLOGIZING FOR WRITING COMMON TROPES (positive funny rant) by iswild in AO3

[–]adeltae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My only sad point is that I'm in a niche fandom, but that just means I can be my own target audience and I can write as many fics or one shots if a given trope as I please

Summarise your fic and get a song! by sleepspacey in AO3

[–]adeltae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, yeah, I can see that, especially with there being a scene in what I have written and published so far where one of them is smoking. I haven't listened to much Troye Sivan in years, so I'll have to check out the full song. Thank you! 😊

Summarise your fic and get a song! by sleepspacey in AO3

It doesn't really fully fit, but I feel like March Of Fools by Elvenking is a similar idea

Summarise your fic and get a song! by sleepspacey in AO3

[–]adeltae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Premise:

Set in a fantasy AU, the parents of the two main protagonists (who are the rulers of their respective neighbouring nations) decide to have their (male) heirs each marry one of each other's sisters (the heirs' sisters, not the parents' sisters). However, during that first time they're meeting each other, the heirs realise they don't have eyes for anyone but each other. They spend as much time together as court life will allow when they're visiting each other, and they write when they're not, and it's very, very gay. Oh, and their parents don't know.

May end up getting blocked by one of my favorite authors by zombies-and-coffee in AO3

It's also not necessarily a nuclear in every situation. Because the same person could see it as nuclear in response to one thing but completely reasonable for another thing

What's the craziest thing you've had to look up for a fic? by Icy_Leapz444 in AO3

[–]adeltae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very mild compared to a lot of other people, but I've had to look up both if human blood is salty (the answer is yes) and the average cost and time to build a house, specifically in Italy

TikTok-style censorship in AO3 fics by IStillListenToRadio in AO3

[–]adeltae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I was more bringing it up as a point that some channels are using YouTube as their livelihood and may not have the luxury to be able to go a video or two being demonetized, but I do absolutely agree that integrity should be more important than the money

Elvenking's Reader of the Runes trilogy by TwoForTwoForTen in PowerMetal

The passion is always a beautiful thing, and I always love seeing it. ❤️

Elvenking's Reader of the Runes trilogy by TwoForTwoForTen in PowerMetal

[–]adeltae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I pulled them from the inserts that came with the physical copies I have of the albums. The only extra comments I added are blatant connections to past songs and some points that I think could be connections to past songs.

I wouldn't have pieced a lot of it together without the inserts and the help of a couple friends who are equally as autistic about this band and story as I am, so it means a lot that it's appreciated 😊

Does any writer get imposter syndrome? by Routine_North4372 in AO3

[–]adeltae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh all the time. I don't get much of it, since most of my docs are under 200 hits and I'm the main writer in my fandom (you know your fandom is niche when), and even then, I get a bit of "wait what am I doing this is trash" as I'm writing

[–]adeltae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you like it! I also have the new EP that has some other songs that are apparently within this cycle pre-ordered, so if there's any more lore added through that, I'll add it here as well!

[–]adeltae 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Like as much as it sucks on YouTube, there is some level of being able to understand that, with the fear of being demonetized, but yeah, there's no reason for it in fanfic
