i just am about this (in)active on all my rp blogs these days and this is the only one that often gets 0 notes. and only the past....i'd say 3-4 months. i'm also not seeing anyone on my dash but myself and maybe one mutual (hi merri lol).
if shadowbanned, does that mean my blog doesn't show up unless you follow it? and how do i ask staff to fix it?
Weird to realize that my BFF in high school, college, and a bit beyond (who was always WAY more into the punk/“alternative” scene than I was), has essentially become a super-Christian suburban soccer mom, complete with a nail/make-up side-hustle and a tendency to post every little thing on FB.
What's funny about Megan dressing like Bruno and announcing Jujutsu Kaisen as the Anime of the Year is that Satoru's sub VA, Yuichi Nakamura, won for Best Voice Performance (sub) and also voices Bruno. In English, Bruno is voiced by Ray Chase who voices Sukuna (and Choso).
And she's cosplayed as all three of these characters now.
something unrealistic about Golden Wind is that Bruno’s suit doesn’t jingle with every movement. how tf is he so stealthy? you’d hear this man from a mile away thanks to those pull-tab charms.
I made this video to show what he should sound like:
If posting fic online has taught me anything, it’s that I have no idea how the reader will react to anything. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Not the faintest clue.
Fics that I think I scribbled off just to get them out there get the kindest, most rapturous feedback. Fics I slaved over, agonized over, bled my soul into get a couple tepid replies. Fics I thought were me revealing the darkness and weird kink that lives in my brain, scared to even post it for fear of judgement, get, “Aaaw that’s so sweet!” replies. Baffling.
My conclusion? You just never know. You really just can’t know. When I did a workshop with 20 other writers I would try to guess what their critique of my story would be and I was right maybe 1 in 20 times. Only one other writer would have the same critique for my story that I had. And it wasn’t even always the same person.
The encouraging part about this is, if self recrimination, the fear that you know what people won’t like about your story, is holding you back, just say fuck it! You’re almost certainly wrong! All you can do is make it the best story you can for the energy you have. And yeah, sometimes that means scribbling it out in an evening and kicking it out to the void of the internet before you can change your mind or worry about editing it more than once because then you’ll never post it.
It’s all chaos, man. You don’t get to decide what the audience thinks. All you can do is create it and put it out there for them to decide.
