A Comment on Yargı Season 3
While I’m overjoyed to get another season of Sema’s writing, the drug that is PinKaan (and IlCey), and the beloved characters of Yargı, I think the show needs a finite number of episodes at this point. This season, the production team and the audience had the unexpected shock of an essential cast member, Mehmet Yilmaz Ak, who brilliantly portrayed the character of Pars Seckin, leaving the show. It’s pretty obvious in episodes 54-56 with the Ridvan/Ozge arc and fallout that the rest of the characters (esp. Ceylin in 56) are slightly distorted in order to accommodate this on such short notice and allow for as much of Sema’s original story plan as possible. After watching episodes 59 and 60, it feels like Sema and the writing team have gracefully salvaged what they could and used the distortions to reinforce the ongoing story. And that’s amazing! We are so lucky to have a writer like Sema at the helm of Yargı. However, whenever any show (anywhere in the world) starts to extend itself for reasons other than creative ones, the threat of leaving cast members and production team members only increases and the quality undoubtedly suffers. Yargı is too precious to its audience to risk this, so I think the show needs a finite number of episodes going into season 3. With regards to the character distortions mentioned above and my other thoughts on storytelling choices, I will probably wait until at least the end of season 2 to reveal them. This is primarily because Sema is brilliant and it’s possible, I might change my mind once I can see a bigger picture as we approach the end of the season. Overall, IN SEMA WE TRUST.

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
delete -> self explanatory
on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
