their ship name might as well be theseus the way there's not a single original characteristic left there

I agree mostly. But I'm saying, if I see someone publish a chapter and insists that the readers never comment anything negative about any elements in that chapter, it's unfair to expect any positive comments either.

it’s like this, right

If you see a street musician, you have three options:

Walk past without saying anything

Stop and listen to the music, but don’t give them any money

Stop and listen to the music and if you have the money and liked what they played, you give them money

Nowhere in any of that is the option, “Stop and criticize them to ‘help them improve their performance.’”

If you do that, you are considered an asshole. That’s just how life works.

In the same manner, when you read a fanfiction, you have three options:

Read it, like and/or love it, leave without a word

Read it, dislike and/or hate it, leave without a word

Read it, like and/or loveit, leave a comment

If you don’t like it? You don’t have to comment!

If you did like it but there was an element that wasn’t to your specific taste? Focus on the part you did like when you comment.

If you can’t do that, then walk away. Don’t say anything.

You’re right, you don’t have to leave a positive comment, but I’m not telling you that you have to leave a positive comment. I’m telling you that if you can’t leave one, then don’t leave a comment at all.

If the only way you’re willing to tell someone about the parts of their story that you liked is to also tell them the parts that you did not like and/or actively hate? Then don’t comment. Do. Not. Comment.

Because no matter how long each of those lists are–no matter if the good outweighs the bad or not–the only thing you’ve done is left a sour taste in someone’s mouth.

People do this for fun. It’s not fun if we give you something and the only thing we get back is that sour taste.

so where’s the au where Jaskier is a stripper and Geralt is the stoic bouncer who watches out for him and takes care of him but never fucks him and Jaskier complains to Yennefer (the club owner ofc) every night about it, lamenting that Geralt must be straight, and Yennefer is like no he won’t fuck me EITHER >:(

and it turns out the whole time Geralt is just heavily drinking that Respect Sex Workers Juice and didn’t want to “pressure” either of them or be creepy, and idk how they find out but when they do they spend two days fucking him senseless

where is this au like HELLOOO??

DAY 8: ROAR- Heart For Brains

On my recent cabbage merchant art someone commented on this man’s sheer resilience and how he was the Sisyphus of ATLA and that inspired me.

Trying to interact with the rest of your fandom as a whumper:

*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.

If I feel that I Could be certain then I would say the things I want to say tonight

I've read 700 million Lamden fics (because YEAH give the angry insecure one the good and genuine one) and gotten the brain rot but tragically, I only know how to draw melancholy lmfao

#oooo the emotions in this one! #insecure Lambert is so delightful #the witcher #lambert #aiden #laiden #tw3

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. ~Coelho, "The Alchemist"

Have I mentioned how much I adore Lambert's nerdy, experimentation-loving, explosion-prone, alchemist self? The geeky side of his character is such a wonderful juxtaposition with his grouchy gremlin self who begrudgingly fights monsters for a living!

Also, I totally subscribe to the idea that Lam makes potions and bombs for both Aiden and himself, 'cause Aiden is a little bit shit at alchemy. Meanwhile, Aiden takes care of the cooking for them, because he's marvelous at making really tasty meals out of thin pickings (and Lambert has been known to not bother with salt or even cooking his catch all through if left to his own feral devices).

✨Having someone who is invested in your story and discusses it with you is like a solid half of the fun of writing. I'm not even kidding.✨
