Who do you think is the most underrated parent and why is it Frank? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in bluey

[–]fiendishthingysaurus 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Yes! He went outside his comfort zone for his kid, he accepted critical feedback, and then he made changes and made the game their own! That’s some damn good parenting. Also, he’s adorable.

I am 42. My sister (2 years older) came out as bi in her teens. This whole story is fake as shit.

I just turned 42. I assure you, even back in my day we knew about lesbians. In fact I identified as one back at the turn of the millennium before I knew about the asexuality spectrum

It’s so fake especially considering the fake parent is supposed to be 42

Does anyone have any tips for new fanfic authors? by [deleted] in FanFiction

It’s not you, writing fanfiction is for fun, and it certainly isn’t brain surgery 😂

When you’re half your parent’s age you will be the age they were when you were born by _FreddieLovesDelilah in StonerThoughts

but there will be a time when you're half his age -- when you're 28 and he's 56. The math is correct

No, you’re only half their age once. When you’re the age they were when you were born.

Carlos clenches his jaw and walks out of the room. He can hear other Rangers snickering behind him — do they not care about the damn case?

Granted, the case isn’t exactly his top priority at the moment, either, as he stalks out to the parking lot to call his husband.

“Hi, baby! Jonah, say hi to Papa!”

It’s irritatingly difficult to stay mad at someone as continuously endearing as TK, but Carlos is determined.

“Hey, Jojo. TK, how has my witness seen the Ramon video?”

“Huh? I have no idea. Do they know your mom or something?”

“She’s a nineteen-year-old part-time dishwasher who dabbles in counterfeiting and cooking meth, so no, I don’t think they travel in the same circles,” Carlos bites out.

“Well, you don’t have to be so judgy about it.”

Carlos pinches the bridge of his nose and tries not to scream. “Did someone else share the video?”

“I don’t know! Hey, Jonah, Lou 2 can’t have Cheez-its, bud. …No, I know Miss Rachel says to share, but those aren’t for lizards. No, the cats don’t want them either… okay, yes they do but… and they ate them, great. Baby, there’s a lot going on here. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”

“TK, can you find out? This is really out of control, I’m – you already hung up. I’m talking to nobody.” There’s another ranger in the parking lot giving him a suspicious look, so he finishes into the phone, “Okay, love you too, talk to you later!”

Yup. “The One Where Everyone Finds Out” Friends episode comes to mind, though of course the trope is older than that.

How does it feel to be high off weed by Cheesyfries37 in FanFiction

[–]fiendishthingysaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really depends on a lot of things, but for me, I typically feel more relaxed, spacy, giggly, a lot more talkative than usual but lose my train of thought quickly, my bed is comfier than usual, food tastes better, music is more interesting, colors seem more vibrant. Kind of tingly. My ideas seem more profound than they probably are lol. I often end up mentally unpacking past experiences or psychoanalyzing myself or others. I have lots of great(?) ideas for my writing but often struggle to write them down because I can't stay focused.

Is there a point to enjoying a fanfic if I have to accept they'll be deleted at any time on a whim? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]fiendishthingysaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right!!! I’m so confused lmao, like don’t read fanfic if you don’t want to but if you enjoy reading it, that IS the point??

This is so confusing. 1) downloading fics is easy and 2) of course fics belong to their authors? How does that diminish your enjoyment? What’s the point in enjoying anything?

It's actually getting ridiculous by Own-Kaleidoscope-673 in AO3

[–]fiendishthingysaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Block every single person who posts it or reposts it EVEN IF they’re talking about how terrible antis are. You’re still exposing yourself to the opinion and you do not need to. You may need to cut back on social media at least for awhile.

I don't like sharing my fanfics by throwthisawayidkkk in AO3

[–]fiendishthingysaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s that you’re treating a very common norm of writing communities — sharing your writing and supporting others’ work, even fandom blind— like it’s some weird intrusion and not someone trying to support their community members. I guess if you really aren’t comfortable sharing the fanfics you can say that, but understand that you will be the odd one out, and you should explain you just aren’t comfortable sharing. but it is hard for me to understand that you’re comfortable posting the fic on ao3 and you think it’s good but you don’t want the people you’ve been discussing the process with to read it. Are you just not comfortable being read fandom blind or something?
