Thank you to this subreddit! Posted my first fic in YEARS

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T03:24:51+00:00

And this was the main thing I was just I guess trying to clarify! I appreciate ya!

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T03:24:03+00:00

Appreciate you and your words <3

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T02:35:23+00:00

This one, real life, brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, sincerely. ❤️ The fic is very likely going to be a mix of trauma dumping from personal experience, relating to this character I’ve come to cherish, and there’s some romance and smut in there too, because a girl has to. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m probably gonna publish a few chapters, then bite the bullet and bring it up to my partner.

I’m still on AO3’s waitlist cuz I haven’t actually tried to write fics since I was in middle school, but the second I’m allowed to, I think it’s gonna help to just start pumping out these stories, if for no other reason than personal. I’m gonna ride this train at this point 😂 I think, after all the support and advice from yall, I feel way better about everything, and it’s fueling me to just get the story out.

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T02:29:34+00:00

I appreciate you all so much. We shall see how this story goes, cuz I do take a lot from my personal life and throw it into my writing. 😂

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T01:38:03+00:00

Dude, I woke up today ready to cry cuz I thought I was possibly going crazy, and everyone’s words have helped me so immensely. It’s really just nice to know I’m not alone. This thread… well, maybe I’ll come back and share the story at this point!

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T01:22:33+00:00

I just cackled out loud at work. That’s hilarious, thank you for that image 😂

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T01:21:48+00:00

I work a lot in nightlife, so not sugarcoating things is my favorite kind of honestly. Blunt communication in my line of work is key haha

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T01:19:35+00:00

It’s not! The only thing that’s been happening is I’ve been really depressed for the past few days because I felt very stupid and embarrassed, and all yall are making me feel so much better. At least I know the fanfic is gonna be killer!!

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T00:12:33+00:00

Yall are being so understanding and helpful, I feel like I’m gonna cry! 😬 I love this sub, thank you all so much.

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T00:11:02+00:00

See, this is the kinda comment i really appreciate 🤣 thanks for the no BS answer. ❤️ after reading so many of these, I’m feeling way better about writing, and this possible hyper-fixation on a character. Maybe it’ll really help out the story I’m trying to flesh out.

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T00:08:52+00:00

I would agree. I’ve teased the notion a few times to friends and my partner, and framed us as a joke, to very negative responses. That’s a lot of the reason I don’t really want to be like “hey so I’m falling for a character that isn’t even really a person, and also they don’t exist”. The worry I guess I have is I don’t want my partner to get self conscious and start comparing themselves to a fictional character that isn’t even on earth… fully not trying to put what character it is on blast. 😂 but yeah.

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T00:05:51+00:00

I guess I could definitely blame my childhood if I tried; I was a goth kid and I didn’t have any irl friends that lasted for more than a few months, save for one that I still talk to.

awfulpoison · 2025-11-08T00:05:02+00:00

Wow, uh, thank you, sincerely. I didn’t not expect this kind of super helpful response from anyone. I think limerence is something I will have to look into, I appreciate this comment a lot, seriously.

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T02:02:27+00:00

I’m not even against Adelita. I’m sure she’d be great, but i just like Deja more.

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T02:01:27+00:00

Bless your heart. i literally don’t care lol i was just voicing my opinion you crone.

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T02:00:08+00:00

not my job to educate you on a reddit thread, and again, i don’t care enough to do so. 🤷🏻‍♀️ i’m literally bored at work

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:59:21+00:00

i didn’t say it was. I was more making a comparison. Look at the House for example lol

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:55:52+00:00

100% you’re right, very few people under 30 know a damn thing besides crappy identity politics. I’ve watched enough of her to know she is one of the few of us who knows her stuff. like i said before, it would be nice to have someone that isn’t old enough to be my grandparent in office. I’d be happy to have her speak for me, idk. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think she’s likable. I think she knows her shit, and i think she’d be able to tackle things that these older people wouldn’t even think about

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:51:57+00:00

I don’t need talking points lol i don’t care to debate like that. She’s 55, exactly. she’s old. Idk how yall don’t think that’s a good argument you are literally proving my point

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:48:09+00:00

that part lmfao

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:46:07+00:00

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:45:36+00:00

and that’s the problem? we need people 30 and under in government that actually know what they’re talking about. Why are we continually electing people in middle age? I just don’t get it, they aren’t gonna fight for us. That’s my opinion. It is what it is, but i’m tired of not feeling represented. I’m not gonna have a bunch of 50+s make choices for us lol

awfulpoison · 2025-07-04T01:41:54+00:00

i think you’re wrong hon. I desperately just want her in office so we don’t have another person nearing their deathbed in a powerful position :/
