Commissions open!

I don't understand why more people don't comment on fics from a perfectly self serving perspective. Do readers not realise they are often the difference in how much fic they get from a writer they like in their fandom?

I don't know, maybe we are not supposed to say this as writers, given the prevaling write for yourself uwu culture these days, but I've had instances where I only meant to drop one fic for a small pairing and dip but that fic got such a warm reception -- and by that I don't mean hundreds of kudos, I mean a handful of people who took time out of their days to leave meaningful comments that went beyond 'I loved this!' -- that I ended up writing ten more. Conversely, I've written fics I was simply compelled to write but the reception was so lukewarm, I moved onto more fertile ground once the brain worms were satisfied, even though I had ten more ideas I could have explored for the same pairing. And I've seen so many other writers do the same.

I personally don't comment on every fic I read -- exhaustion gets in the way -- so it would be hypocritical for me to expect the same of anyone else, but man, it baffles me that other people don't strategise in their commenting, that when they see a writer they love they don't go extra hard on fics that don't have much interaction or for writers that are a bit more needy -- yet another thing one does utter in polite society -- not out of any sense of gratitude or anything like that but just to get more good fic, just from perfect selfishness.

twilight princess funniest zelda game ever made

one of the reoccurring minor plots is that a 3 year old with the mental capacity of an adult is trying to abolish capitalism in the big city. there's a yeti couple living in an abandoned mansion and the guy yeti is like 10 times the size of and more visibly monstrous than the girl yet they made him a malewife. you can collect insects for a little girl that is insane about them and gives you strange and off-putting dialogue about each bug everytime you give her one and practically threatens you if you try to leave her home without giving her bugs she doesn't have yet. one of the modes of transportation in this game is being shot out of a giant canon by a depressed clown and landing on your feet with no injuries. there's a spaghetti western style minigame where the objective is to talk to 20 different cats. a chicken attempts to flirt with link. they made tingle into a sexyman caricature.

i completely forgot about ooccoo while making this post. this fucking thing:

and, of course, her son too

Every time someone says that Twilight Princess is too grimdark and serious, I want to point them to this post. It’s a very silly game.

As someone replaying TP for the first time in years right now this post is so real. This is the kind of absurd energy the current Zelda games are severely lacking in.

you make me howl at the moon

Internet Safety

Look, I’m nearly 30. I know that means I’m inches from death to most teens here. In the United States, teens have been so utterly failed by the education system deciding that “digital native” meant “miraculously knows how the internet works”.

I was taught, in school, how to use search engines. I was taught about what information people can take advantage of and how they do that. Did I still do teens stuff? Yes - I accessed sites I shouldn’t have and lied about my age to read erotica. But I didn’t announce my presence, and I knew that if I decided to say I was an adult, despite not being one, if I saw shit I didn’t want to see, that was my fault. Because I was taught why age gates are there.

I am not saying this to say “teens are stupid” - if you’re a teenager and reading this, I do not think you’re stupid. You were not given the appropriate amount of information to keep yourself safe in the same way I was. That’s not fair. Please try to keep in mind that adults who have the information and want to share it aren’t doing so because we think you’re an idiot. We want you to have good information so you can keep yourself safe.

i hope oceangate gets sued to hell for violating basic safety principles in pursuit of profit, i hope a teenager doesn’t die a horrible death, and i hope the world pays much more attention to the fact that 500 migrants died that same horrible death last week in a completely preventable sinking that was engineered by bureaucratic racism and cruelty. where were their millions of dollars and manpower hours in rescue efforts?
