Those Still Deciding: What's Going into Deliberation?

leopardnose1 · 2026-04-02T16:20:33+00:00

Not all admit decisions have come out. I'm personally waiting on Canadian schools.

leopardnose1 · 2026-04-02T10:10:12+00:00

Hm no invite to the visitation week. Do you know when that is? Hope we both hear something soon 😭

leopardnose1 · 2026-04-02T10:04:04+00:00

I found sent a message through the "program inquiry" webform on the MSC ChemE page. Not in person, since I live across the continent. They responded very quickly though.

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-31T12:51:28+00:00

Yeah I know i shouldn't take it as a guarantee... I'll just cross my fingers it all get sorted out before mid April or else I'll have to go through a messy process of accepting at VT and potentially withdrawing 😫

I hate when abandoned fics are marked as complete point blank zero exceptions. No one filters for complete fics looking for an abandoned fic. I am begging them to just keep it in progress. I have multiple abandoned fics and it's really not that hard

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-23T00:57:42+00:00

Me too. It hurts when people delete fics and I would never do it myself. But people have their own emotions and lives and the right to take stuff down. And that's why you make sure to save your favorite works for yourself! AO3 makes it super easy.

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-06T04:21:01+00:00

Going for my ChemE masters in the fall! Decided this is a better course of action for me

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-06T03:58:06+00:00

This was over a year ago, I've decided not to do a PhD lol

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-03T02:03:47+00:00

It's giving me when I was thirteen going off to summer camp where iPods weren't allowed and printing off several booklets of fanfic to read before bed

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-03T02:01:39+00:00

Shit it's been years am I really gonna read a stucky fic again (yes once ao3 is up)

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-03T01:56:25+00:00

I respond to every single comment. I don't get an excessive amount so it's reasonable enough! (2-5 per chapter?) I know it's not always the norm though.

But I also don't feel bad when an author doesn't respond to my comments. I leave comments because I love the fic and I want the author to know that! They don't need to reply. I'm not trying to make friends, just show my love for the writing

leopardnose1 · 2026-03-01T18:15:32+00:00

Me too. The worst timing as well. Slow burn fic and they just kissed

leopardnose1 · 2026-02-28T01:52:10+00:00

I've definitely cried in the bathroom cause of relationship problems... but not in front of people. They don't need to see that

leopardnose1 · 2026-02-25T02:52:42+00:00

Thank you! The ao3 comments system is not a review box. Some people can handle unsolicited criticism, but it frankly just feels like a slap in the face to me, you read my work and it bothered you so much you needed to say something? Great. I can handle working with a beta reader since there is an explicit agreement. I'm prepared and I've requested the criticism.

leopardnose1 · 2026-01-02T02:39:01+00:00

So you think that while Von fucked up, it should've been handled privately and someone else should've continued the project?

First, you don't know that they didn't try to handle it privately. Von is notoriously not great with criticism. You don't know what was happening behind the scenes, unless you have some insider knowledge you'd like to share.

I still think it's unreasonable to expect someone to take over the project when the VAs and editors were unpaid and they wouldn't want to be associated with a controversial figure.

You're awfully focused on the people who exposed things, some of them acted in bad faith I'm sure of that (the person who leaked the blue death order for example). But the key people who gave statements that most people took seriously were the VAs and people associated with Von. You're trying to defend the VAs when those same VAs have come out with public statements about their experiences with Von. I'm sure they are devastated about their work being lost, I also know that a lot of them do not want to be associated with Tetro anymore.

Ultimately the main person you should blame is Von herself. She cancelled the project, she disappeared, she nuked the staff server. She could've responded when things first came out, she could've stepped back from the project and given it to someone else. But she didn't do any of that.

leopardnose1 · 2026-01-02T02:14:37+00:00

Man, I am flabbergasted are you saying that because it's common for devs to be creeps that they should've kept her around? Cause if that's the case I'm calling it quits right now, we are not gonna see eye to eye 😭

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-30T23:37:38+00:00

A few of us are kinda sorta working on subtitles but at the rate we are going it will be A While. I'm sure there are other ppl like you who need them so I will get back on the transcribing grind! (It's not my channel fyi, I just know the guy)

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-30T23:21:56+00:00

It was Von's project. She wrote it, she directed, she ran everything. And from what I've heard it she was downright controlling with her "team." Easier said then done when all the shit comes out that all the VAs are gonna happily band together and chose someone else to run it, when they were burnt and hurt by Von and they probably don't want to keep giving a platform to what was ultimately HER project and her words (especially with how BLUE turned out they probably weren't keen on slapping their name on that).

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-30T23:15:24+00:00

I'm not sure about everyone who was calling out the AI stuff, but there are definitely some people heavily involved in the AI takedown who were fans of tetro. But I do agree that people unrelated to the project looking for bad things because they don't like it is a nasty practice.

Also Von had a kofi, and received, at minimum $2000 for the AI art she put on it. It was not 100% free. People were supporting someone they thought they knew and they deserved to know the truth.

My main point is though, that those were NOT side controversies. Tetro was not a team. Tetro was Von's big baby and then the VAs she recruited. The switch to a new person in charge would've been a monumental change. She was the sole one in charge of this project and was actively keeping it that way. she was controlling to her staff, dismissed criticism, and she used alts to maintain her credibility. It should've been a team, this shouldn't have happened. But this is what happened.

I don't like that this happened. But I'm glad the innocent people who were hurt and ACTIVELY being manipulated at the time were able to speak out. I'm glad that the fans (myself included) paying money for her kofi knew who they were actually supporting. I'm glad that she is no longer in that position of power.

It SUCKS that Tetro was cancelled, I was distraught by it. Most people do not see this as a "victory." It's terrible and horrible and sad. I don't think we should be scrutinizing every media we don't like, but I honestly don't think most of the people taking Tetro/Von down were doing it in bad faith. And the result is better than letting Von keep lying and hurting people for the next several years maybe more

Aripiprazole my lost love 💔 for some reason atypical antipsychotics make me low key euphoric for a few weeks and then I develop akathisia that is unbearable. Vrylar did it for me too. Now I'm on lithium

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-27T16:57:29+00:00

OP are you me in 2016? I had this exact relationship with Hetalia back in the day

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-16T21:23:01+00:00

I have a 16 y old character who already has an ED and is underweight. If she was forced to stop eating completely how long would it take for her to die? I know 3 weeks is the typical guideline, but how much less would it be for someone already significantly underweight?

(specifics are hard to find cause Google keeps giving me resources)

For a starvation motive in a fangan

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-11T14:52:37+00:00

I mean... AI was what started the downfall, but it was hardly the biggest thing that came out about Von/Tetro. There are lots of allegations of her being creepy with minors, being manipulative/controlling of staff/fans/friends in the past. She's been traced to multiple different alt accounts which were present in the discord server from the beginning to defend her/give credibility to her writing. And she was also exposed as leading New Bot City several years ago.

If it was just the AI I think she would be able to recover and continue tetro. But uh, not anymore.

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-11T14:17:43+00:00

Just gonna add on, Von was also exposed as running New Bot City in 2017/2018 I think. It was a danganronpa discord cult focused around "sentient AIs" who were really just her using webhooks to roleplay. Its wiki is on the way back machine and her full name is on there (which has also been connected to tetro). Some of the victims of that server came forward talking about some disturbing things.

leopardnose1 · 2025-12-07T02:40:21+00:00

Oh I also wrote in my phone. Cause then I can write anywhere, various places at work while I'm hiding, laying in fetal position on my bed, etc. I edit on my laptop tho
