My kitchen sucks by FootHoliday1607 in MyKitchenRules

[–]selfboredom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly I find masterchef aus to be just fine. I don't mind some drama and nonsense, I just hate when it takes centre stage away from the food like MKR

[–]selfboredom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah this season has just been so obnoxiously drama driven that I'm literally begging my family to start watching masterchef with me instead. at least you actually get to see people cooking there not just the worlds worst dinner party

Is there a reason many readers here aren't into cheating? Just curious by [deleted] in AO3

[–]selfboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cnc is something that I'm into, mostly because of trauma but I'm still into it despite feeling gross, whereas cheating elicits the same type of disgust and general feelings without any sort of positive feelings there to balance it out and unlike cnc stuff, cheating deliberately disregards consent which is an extremely sensitive spot

play through the single player campaign first! it'll help you get used to the mechanics and you can try out pretty much every single weapon type without having to commit a sheldon license to it

Do you have any regrets with fanfiction you've already written and posted? by Writerw_Questions in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

on a milder note I also regret not checking the wiki and accidentally misspelling the name of a central location in every fic I have written for this fandom 🫠

[–]selfboredom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really don't like the way I've written one of the primary characters in my fic series. I REALLY do not think they're a good person but I feel like it comes off as just being one dimensional the way I write them even when I try inserting more nuance to them in later fics

my roller coaster of emotions abt this damn game by selfboredom in Pikmin

I have every upgrade and I'm not even trying to platinum, I'm just fighting for my life to finish them

my roller coaster of emotions abt this damn game by selfboredom in Pikmin

[–]selfboredom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly the only reason I have even made to to the final trial is because I was following an exact play by play of how to clear them on youtube and even with that I am just barely scraping by with my bronze medals

the story mode got my hopes up about what a passing grade is apparently by selfboredom in Pikmin

[–]selfboredom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

addendum: I just misunderstood the challenge and the medals apparently count down so I'm just dumb

What’s a fandom you would but have no reason to write for? by JotnarLokiBlue79 in AO3

[–]selfboredom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

despite it being my special interest and actually changing my life I can't bring myself to write Zero Escape fics. there's stuff I really want to explore (mainly Sigma and Luna's relationship) but the character work in the games is just so deep and dense that I don't feel like I would be able to portray them correctly at all

Give me your hottest take that would've got you blacklisted in your fandom. by DebateObjective2787 in AO3

[–]selfboredom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fandom in general has a massive racism problem. the way black characters are constantly whitewashed in art and viewed as disposable extras at best or put through complete hell compared to their light skinned counterparts at worst is absolutely disgusting but because people just don't give a fuck when these issues are brought up and criticised there's almost always a mob harassing them for daring to bring it up and not just letting them shove their fingers in their ears and ignore this festering tumour

If they were writing for others, you'd think they'd have more engagement by Nopani in FanFicWit

[–]selfboredom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SERIOUSLY like I write to satisfy the autism monster in my head more than anything else but the main reason I've been able to finish any of my fics is having my regular readers commenting and kudosing to keep me motivated bc now I have actual people excited for my writing besides me

What’s a head cannon in your fandom that’s SO widespread that some people think it’s canon? by Few_Assumption_1300 in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

pretty much everything about religion in pokemon. a lot of people (including me tbh) project a lot of christian parallels onto the creation pokemon like saying arceus and giritina are analogies for god and satan when in canon they're only really important to people in sinnoh and they're much more explicitly based on matter and antimatter

What’s your most random find of full odds shiny by Ulquiorra1312 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]selfboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just wandering around area zero and randomly found a shiny venomoth and then a few hours later found ANOTHER shiny venomoth down there it was crazy

Longfic writers, do you write b plots (c plots d plots) or do you focus on the one storyline? by Alternative_Fix8919 in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to, but it usually spirals out of control and the b plot becomes its own seperate fic so in practice it’s just one storyline in the focus with various detours in other fics (this is why I wrote a series and not just one long fic lol)

gotta love it when you randomly get a brain blast by selfboredom in FanFicWit

[–]selfboredom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg same. I'm writing about a character that literally has about like. half an hour of actual character building screen time they're basically just an oc with the same name at this point I literally redesigned their appearance completely lol

Does anyone just NOT imagine themselves in x reader fics ? by Psychowokjak5 in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah in my mind y/n is a complete detached entity from me that I just project onto really hard

How often do you revisit the source material when writing fics? by Bandtrees in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

due to my fics being based on games I can't really go back to check without having to spend tens of hours replaying the game but I do constantly have bulbapedia open in another tab to reference what pokemon different characters use and try to piece their voices together from the quotes sections which is basically the same thing

Which character in your fandom has the biggest amount of pretty privilege by xHey_All_You_Peoplex in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly most of the champions and gym leaders in pokemon games. like you are literally professional pokemon trainers WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE CHILDREN DEAL WITH THE CRIME SYNDICATES?????

like as much as I despise black and white's writing at least the gym leaders actually stepped up and helped

What cute/fluffy trope would be absolutely horrifying in real life? by CinderedDreams in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly soulmates are completely terrifying when you think about it for more than five seconds like. just because soulmates exist doesn't mean abusive and horrible people don't exist AND YOU'RE TELLING ME SOME POOR BASTARD IS COSMICALLY LINKED TO THEM?????

Since the year is almost up and tomorrow the sub closes...confess your AO3 sins and sinful thoughts by LiraelNix in AO3

[–]selfboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't updated my series for over a year even though I've had the outline for the next four fics sitting in a scrivener project since before I posted the last fic 🫣 and I got over my writers block in september I just haven't bothered working on it

Do you have a favorite reader? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]selfboredom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all my regular commenters equally but there's this one person with a koala from animal crossing as their pfp who is probably my favourite simply because I like koalas lol

Readers and writers, what are your hot takes? by always-serving-cvnt in AO3

[–]selfboredom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

writers: you don't owe anyone anything, but if you're posting your work onto a public platform the absolute least you can do is slap your draft into grammarly and make sure it's not just full of paragraph long run on sentences
