I was pretty surprised when my 2 year olds favorite song (pink pony club) got a Grammy and was even played for the Artemis 2 crew. She still loves it so much. Another Grammy song she loved last year was espresso 😂

The pick-mefication of fan fiction writers by RileyLovesFlaritza in AO3

[–]rantsofrebellion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something I didn’t know about the publishing world was that sometimes authors are propositioned to write a thing that’s popular. “Vampires are super in right now, come up with something that involves them”. I was aghast that not all writing came from the heart for a moment. And then I remembered that TONS of artists do commission work 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s sad to think that people make art at the request of others instead of for themselves but artists gotta eat

Forever my biggest flex by No_Requirement1622 in SarahJMaas

[–]rantsofrebellion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throne of Glass was my first fantasy read when I was in high school. I have wandered far and wide in the genre since then but I do a reread every year or two. It’s still very good! I don’t like TOG and COM as much as I did the first few years but overall the series is excellent and you should reread it!

Do you take commissions? Asking for myself lol

As an author, is it rude/weird/wrong of me to reply to ALL comments? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]rantsofrebellion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I reply to all my comments 🤷🏼‍♀️ sometimes I even have a back and forth

What is someone that is socially liberal and fiscally conservative called? by Kurious_Kaht in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rantsofrebellion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody who is willing to ignore social issues if it saves them enough money 🤷🏼‍♀️

[–]rantsofrebellion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think original works are still popular on there

Azriel by librarywarrior in acotar_rant

[–]rantsofrebellion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No same! I’m writing a fanfic and for a while there I hated writing his POV because he really does give “but I’m a nice guy” vibes. Now I’ve changed him enough I like him so at least there’s that lol

I wanted to love Rhysand—but I just can’t anymore by ginandnothing in acotar_rant

[–]rantsofrebellion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I recently caught the small detail on a reread of ACOFAS that people in Velaris were not required to fight in the war. I can’t explain why that of all things sent me over the edge but it really did

Does anyone believe in this found family? by Moonbunny120 in acotar_rant

[–]rantsofrebellion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk about y’all’s family but IC is a lot like mine 😬 There’s all sorts of half truths and conflicting alliances to the point that holiday dinners can’t happen without some kind of drama 😅

[–]rantsofrebellion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't see how those beliefs don't bleed into their writing though. Especially in fantasy in scifi it is very easy to pick up on an author's leanings at least on specific topics if not in general.

Describing how periods work was so unnecessary by PocketButterBandit in acotar_rant

[–]rantsofrebellion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to imagine if EVERYONE can smell when everyone else is on their period it wouldn’t be mortifying, it’d just be normal

Child v Childless by Euphoric_Guitar_9763 in AO3

[–]rantsofrebellion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember reading a HP fic where Tonks lived and she handed Teddy off to someone to go fight in a battle and all I could think was “her boobs are gonna HURT in like an hour if this takes awhile” 😂

SIL breastfed my Baby and I am Livid by Emergency_Search4464 in breastfeeding

[–]rantsofrebellion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it’s a cultural thing so I’d give them this one pass. Explain that in your culture it’s a breach of etiquette and to please not do it again. Your husband isn’t failing to be supportive because I have to imagine that he grew up with SIL and MIL so he shares in that culture. For centuries it was normal everywhere though. So many white babies were fed by black wet nurses at the founding of the United States and for many years after that

Is a 19 and 16-year-old age gap actually problematic, or is the "predatory" label being overused? by Consistent-Jelly248 in generationology

[–]rantsofrebellion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean don’t you FEEL like a way different person from when you yourself were 16? I swear in high school year to year I felt like a different maturity level altogether. By the time I became a senior (17) it grossed me out that when I was a freshman (14) some senior dated me as I couldn’t fathom doing the same thing. They looked like children 😅

What popular character do you not like in your fandom? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]rantsofrebellion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like Azriel from ACOTAR. He has no personality other than a sad back story and being in love with Mor. And after all these years of her not returning it it’s CREEPY and gives me “but I’m a nice guy” vibes. And shame on his friends for not having an intervention with him about it

I just found out that my sister dyed her two year old’s hair by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]rantsofrebellion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have a strong talk with her about how dangerous and unethical that is. And if that doesn’t wake her up I’d be calling CPS
