I was at a costume store with some classmates from my college and I was just rambling about John C. McGinley playing Dr. Cox from Scrubs and how he deserved more recognition from the role. A voice behind me says, “Oh, really? Is that so?” I turn around and it’s him.
Later on, we both did a Pokemon Smash or Pass. He rated Zoroark a smash.

Hey, sorry, but know how in episode 4 when Ryo is showing visible (for Ryo standards) apprehension over how the band should continue...
...specially in the sense of becoming more band-like, and when Bocchi says she's going to write a band-like song that's going to be a great hit...
...and how Nijika (apparently) notices something is off by just a single sentence from Ryo? You know?
(sorry, I don't really have a point with this, just wanted to ramble a bit about this moment)
YES I KNOW. PAINFULLY SO. nijika always noticing ryo's microcosms and whatnot. She Knows.

Gotta say your au mixed with the art style and such and amazing work in what we seen so far with the horror and some laughs it's just become a treat every time I saw new details (whenever you supplies them up, thanks for that)
I know you already disclosure that it's gonna be bad BAD TIMES for the puppets gang but does it have it's soft ad fluff times??
The shot were Frank ask Wally if they're dying will looking up for the ceiling hasn't leave my brain, such a raw emotional clear on them, I wonder when they were just the two of them for a while they cuddle or hold hands for comfort??
I just.i just want them to have small victories of comfort
of course it has fluff and comfort! a lot of it! having a nice blend of both makes the fluff feel sweeter & the hurt hit all the harder <3 i will now supply some (written (for now)) examples and tidbits. putting it under the cut cause it got kinda Long
Frank & Wally do become very affectionate with each other! ofc as soon as Frank woke Wally was like "ok im holding your hand everywhere we go, this is Non Negotiable". because its dark! he doesn't want Frank to stray too far or get lost! and it's easier to yank Frank outta harm's way if they're already holding hands. comfort factors into it later, when Frank starts initiating & Wally does it purely to make sure Frank is still there. but yeah they get Very comfortable with each other, to the point where when Eddie wakes up he asks Frank - misinterpreting the situation entirely - "if you'd rather have Wally than me, i understand." ofc Frank laughs his ass off bc uhhh no that is Not what their relationship is, Ed
~ similarly, (almost) everyone acclimates to Wally's need to be as close as possible at all feasible times. he's Very physically affectionate and has little to no regard for personal space or boundaries anymore. like, he'll listen when someone asks him to back off or somethn, but until then he does not give a fuck. and this rubs off on the others as they get used to it
and then there's OH WAIT IDK IF I'VE MENTIONED THIS YET but! Wally - during his main exploration phase - found the Welcome Home episode recordings! and he eventually figured out how to work a tv he found, so he added "watch an episode of me and my friends" into his Routine. when the others wake up, he includes them in this. is it horrifying for them at first? yeah. but they get used to it and find similar if not the same comfort and enjoyment in it that Wally does. like in This Scribble, Frank & Wally & Poppy & Howdy are all watching an episode, and are quoting the lines they've memorized. they all cuddle up on a couch together and watch their favorite show <3
& Wally also teaches them (as they wake up) how to repair and care for themselves / each other, sleeping or otherwise. picture a little sewing circle of Frank, Wally, and Poppy, with Poppy giving tips and guidance on how to improve. these sessions provide them with genuine smiles and sometimes even some laughs.
before Wally & Home's divorce, they'd pass much of the time with games! go-fish, charades, i spy, etc. one of their favorites was when Wally would toss a ball at Home's door, and Home would hit it back. additionally, whenever Wally discovered something new, he'd rush back to Home with it - either the information or the actual thing, if he could carry it. ex: when he'd find books or files, he'd bring them to Home and (quietly) read them aloud while resting against them
and just in general know that the Post Office is a place of safety. Wally has made sure it's secure. i like to imagine like... little craft sessions and impromptu dancing lessons and story sharing going on in there among the awake neighbors. they try to have fun despite it all
that's all i can recall for Act One's fluff tidbits rn, but trust me there is More. and also abundant angsty comfort. the downright painful stuff has to earn its existence yk yk this au is Not grimdark

they said they wanted feedback, so i commented with
a ceiling paint tip (they added a feature recently where you can add the floor textures to the ceiling for a more ~complete look)
a suggestion to buy snowy escape, for more japanese-inspired build mode items
a desperate plea to upload this house and all sims to the gallery (so we can all play with their stuff AND we won't lose it permanently to the ether)

there's something so fun about making stuff for a small fandom, like... I'm just as batshit as I would be in a bigger fandom, but without being perceived™

I honestly think writing fanfic is really important for a writing journey.
I used (and still sometimes!) write fanfic. I wrote fanfic for years. From the age of 16-21/22. And yes, obviously writing and posting fanfic can help your writing chops in terms of keeping characters, well, in-character, stretching new ideas, and just help you polish up your writing in general.
But in general? Fanfic helped me get over sharing my writing with others and worrying about negative backlash to what I write.
I was someone usually in "problematic" spaces and ships. And I was there, Gandalf. I was there at the height of "an/tis" vs "pr/oshi/ppers" war here on tumblr.
I had callout posts written and shared about me. I had discord groups trash my writing and personhood. I got all manner of threats imaginable, including being told I was insane and I should kill myself. I got this both in the comment sections of my writing as well as in my ask box.
But I've also had interactions with people in fandom space that were just... weird. And not just people plagiarizing me. People who rewrote my fics in the comment section (why) people who wrote NEW fic in my comment section (okay...) people getting way too personal with me. People justifying to others why they're allowed to read it. People telling other people what my own life story is (they've never talked to me in their entire life?) and everything in between. I've had comments written like GoodReads reviews as if I'd never read it.
I say this because it seems like every day I see authors getting pissy at readers for negative reviews. Throwing fits online and going after said readers in weird and inappropriate ways.
Yeah. It sucks when people assume who you are. It sucks being told you're horrible for writing X, Y, or Z. It sucks when your work is bashed or when people clearly do not have reading comprehension, ironically, and you're wondering how the hell they interpreted your story so wrong. It sucks getting negative comments and reviews.
But that's just life whenever you publish your works for the wider world. Without the risk of putting your writing out there, you also do not get the reward of touching others with your writing and sharing your stories. You cannot have one without the other.
I'm not saying it was acceptable for people to be cruel to me online. I should not have been bullied, harassed, and threatened for writing my blorbos kissing in a Bad TM way. But being told why my writing was bad (whether or not I agreed) or people sharing what they did not like about my writing or why it failed for them (and not being able to delete said comments) was good for me. Sometimes it did help my writing. But honestly more than that it was exposure to what it will be like when I do decide to publish, whether its indie or trad.
The same dynamic happened when I took a creative writing class in college too. Even though the professor told us we had to be nice with our criticisms and also explain things we did like about others works, I still had a classmate tell me they hated everything about my writing and there was nothing redeeming about it. But at that time? I had already gone through all of the above.
So when I got that comment? I laughed. And the other classmates I had who read my story? Got so defensive for me regarding my work, calling that person out. It was nice, but overall not needed. Because I realized at that time that I had the tools to move on from scathing reviews and assumptions.
It's a skill. And an incredibly important skill to have now that its so easy to find spaces with readers talking about your work. And like all skills, its something you have to work on and exercise to get good at it.
Fanfic was the one who helped me develop such a skill. Not writing workshops and not my creative writing class. Because people aren't going to be so nice when they have internet anonymity on their side. That's just the way of the internet and sharing your work, and I do not see the landscape changing anytime soon. Nor should it; readers have the right to review works they do not like. Just as readers have the right to review works that they love.
It's scary. But what I've learned is that the reward I get from sharing my work, from knowing its out there, knowing that I've inspired other people or that many others have enjoyed my work is a far greater reward than any of the risk from negative backlash I've gotten.
