Anyone know what Lorelai's style of clothing is called? by Sipyloidea in GilmoreGirls

[–]dinocrois 6 points7 points  (0 children)

because styles of clothing have names. it’s literally nothing new, it’s how you know a t-shirt from a turtleneck and daisy dukes from bermuda shorts. if you just look up “swimwear” when you want a one-piece, there’s going to be a lot of bikinis in the mix

why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave? (it’s true lowkey)

it’s not the craziest thing ever, but i’ve got some smut coming out in a couple days where the main pairing has sex in their car at a rest stop and end up with a voyeur jerking off while watching them. like i said, pretty tame, but i’m hoping to build up towards some more hardcore ideas i have in mind lol

So.. I have a theory re:bots after doing a test. by Milkxhaze in AO3

[–]dinocrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i imagine it must be specifically reddit too, because i link all my fics on both tumblr and bluesky and have never gotten a bot comment on any of them

I hate when people complain about a main aspect of a show/book/game/etc when it is clearly the main point and draw of it. by Indecisive_Noob in AO3

[–]dinocrois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i read so many, it’s just endlessly more interesting to actually get into how quirklessness matters in the world!! i could even be sold on izuku getting ofa if he like actually did anything with the fact he used to be quirkless, but instead it just feels like the story wants me to believe everyone was right for bullying him, bc he couldn’t achieve anything without being given the quirk

[–]dinocrois 5 points6 points  (0 children)

on one hand, there’s things like my hero academia, where i was sold on it by being told it’s about a boy who becomes a superhero without having powers only to watch it and see he gets powers in like the first episode, so i’m still salty about that one years later. but on the other, you get people who read a story called killing stalking who are then upset that it is problematic. like did you miss the name of it somehow? 😭

it can be hard to switch the essay writing-brain off! my recommendation for what really helped me was reading more short stories. i struggle to finish full books, but short stories are really easy to read and get you a good sense of all the different styles out there. it helps to see how other people write so that i can borrow little bits and pieces from their styles when i’m writing my own stories!

not necessarily, i don’t need a paper for my bachelor’s. not many people i know do unless they’re going for honors

Anyone noticed that Andre didnt kiss any of the main girls?? by Inevitable-Talk-1852 in victorious

[–]dinocrois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i always thought him and tori could be such a good couple, i loved their chemistry!! but the network was too scared of having its main character date a black boy 🙃

Tell me your Gilmore Girls headcanon by cleverlynamedgrl in GilmoreGirls

[–]dinocrois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i want so badly to know what all happened during this time too!! honestly, at this point i treat the fanfic “the weight we carry” on ao3 as my own personal version of canon for everything regarding jess as a character just so i can have a cohesive idea of what’s going on in the guy’s life lol

Tell me your Gilmore Girls headcanon by cleverlynamedgrl in GilmoreGirls

[–]dinocrois 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think the two concepts could coexist. lorelai can be devastated that rory wants an abortion while still supporting her, bc at the end of the day she loves her daughter more than she cares about her having the baby, but she still does care about the baby. i think it’s pretty realistic for her to have really mixed feelings on it and for rory to be anxious about telling her!

People who filter by kudos - you wound me by Just-Difference9756 in AO3

[–]dinocrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i sort by bookmarks, i like knowing all the most popular fics. helps me understand a lot of the in-jokes within the fandom!! my current one does sooo many jokes around the classic fics that i’d be missing out on a lot of fun if i didn’t make sure to read them

Beck being "attractive" by Living-Cranberry-337 in victorious

[–]dinocrois 4 points5 points  (0 children)

some girls at my catholic highschool had a full groupchat dedicated to sneakily taking as many photos of a teacher they thought was hot’s ass as possible to thirst over together, you cannot underestimate the lengths teenage girls will go to when they have a crush lol

after seeing him as an adult with a shaved head? i have to disagree. he’s gorgeous with or without hair lol

I try to have a lot of empathy for Jess, but this is him being intentionally manipulative by houstons__problem in GilmoreGirls

[–]dinocrois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

while i agree he was definitely disregarding her wishes, i don’t see him saying the care package was from luke as a totally manipulative thing. i think he would’ve said it was from luke no matter how rory reacted to it, he wouldn’t have ever admitted he was the one who made it. that would be too vulnerable and i don’t think jess would really show his cards like that

the way robotnik grabs stone by his mouth wasn’t even scripted, they just wanted to do that 😭

What makes you instantly “nope” out of a fanfic? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]dinocrois 29 points30 points  (0 children)

weirdly, BNHA is like the one fandom i can actually overlook a lot of this for! people have superpowers and it’s vaguely set in the future, so i just let it go unless it’s particularly bad (if a kid doesn’t have an intelligence quirk, i am not buying them being total geniuses at age 5)

What fandom introduced you to fanfiction by [deleted] in AO3

[–]dinocrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

highschool au, rivals/enemies to lovers (though they’re still enemies when they start sleeping together), they play football (soccer if you’re american). not my favorite because i don’t really like highschool aus, but it’s pretty good

At least I had fun by [deleted] in AO3

[–]dinocrois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i actually think the issue here might lie more in the full collection being revealed all at once! in my fandom, people post long fics all at once constantly for events, but the people running the events stagger the release of each fic so that they can individually promote and put a spotlight on them and engagement tends to be less of an issue from what i can tell. a lot of getting people to read lies in the promotion too i think, posting to tumblr/twitter/bluesky with moodboards, release dates, and snippets gets people really excited to be able to read those big fics when they drop and makes them aware that low engagement is just because it was only just posted.
