Such good advice for writing fanfic in here. Or, really, writing anything. It has to hold your interest and you need to cut yourself some slack in order to be truly creative. I've read some stuff where the author had clearly given up and was just barfing words onto the page. Not fun.

ooff same. everytime i try reading a fiction book, my brain stays engaged for a few pages, and then before i realise it i've turned 15 page without reading anything. as i'm backtracking, i realise i never really read anything before that either and i just shut the book and give up.

i remember seeing a comic someone drew for tumblr a while back (a fricken DECADE ago) that said "the most important filter is the photographer" and it was a table with one clean space amidst a wreck of a room. that hit. online authenticity has /never/ been authentic :(

Take it from me— You can be as suicidal as you want when writing. Nothing’s going to happen to you, except that you’ll feel better for it.

"but I don't want to distress others and I have this weird complex that, at least spiritually, somebody is calling the cops on me." OHHHH SAME. i don't feel safe being 100% authentic with some things. i just allude to them. however i generally think i'm an honest person on my site, i go into pretty deep parts of my minmdset i guess. just not the full way. because im worried its illegal or smth (PROBABLY IS)

i love this. i've been wanting to dedicate a page to small happenings that aren't long enough for a full blog post, and your webpage is motivating me to make it

i love this idea! thank you for including me <3 also you'll be okay. we'll all be okay. sometimes it feels like we're all doomed, but by recognising it in ourselves, we can see it in others and reach out.

@badgraph1csghost: I find your reply very valuable, thank you! <3 I've also screencapped it and added it to the page, if you don't mind. I think the reply makes it feel more optimistic and fosters more understanding/rounds out the perspective

this is such a nice thing to do and it'd probably help me with my dissociation issues, if i decide to add this kind of segment into my blog page I'll credit you

This is so kind swiftred, thank you , this was a nice little surprise :, ) I personally would love to see your drawings , art is something we should never try to "make good", but i totally understand the anxiety; it's affected my own stamina over the years. I hope you're well too, i mosey over sometimes to read your written words because I enjoy much how you talk about things.. please take care of yourself always

I like Town Square, I feel like a lady is going to tell me that there's bandits in a cave to the north, but no one can stop them due to monsters in the desert listening to it. Beep Box seems like it could be very fun!

Thank you for listening!! and for the lovely description <33 that might be my favorite too. Beepbox is fun! It’s really approachable too, almost gamified.

Re: the April 3rd update (I think your profile was disabled at the time), subvocalizing is imo the best way to read for actual enjoyment, for the exact reasons you say: you need to hear the author speaking in your head to really feel what they're communicating. The people who are against it are all deep in the speed-reading world, which I'm sure has advantages for certain types of reading, but...
…you shouldn’t let them make you feel bad. Also, I relate to that weird loneliness that comes after spending a long time with someone. I feel it less now that I have a girlfriend who is always here when I come home, but when she goes on business trips it’s weird how desolate it suddenly feels here. Writing definitely helps — it feels like planting seeds for future connections and communications
I find your comments very valuable, thank you :)
relatable, it feels like making friends is pointless to me because there's always this time when they disappear and i'm just... back how it was before i even met them. it's llike it's entirely pointless if they're not going to be t here for me 100% of the time
@niicespiice Yeah, people coming and going is really difficult. I don’t personally find it pointless if somebody eventually leaves though. Painful? Very. But I’m usually grateful to have had the connection, though I’ve had some really bitter endings
