I don't know what it is about people who only write longfic, but they can't seem to grasp what I mean when I write a post about oneshots.

I'll say, "you don't have to write the boring parts in order to write the scene that interests you" and they'll hear, "write your story out of order and start with the fun stuff so that you have motivation to write the rest."

I'll say, "here are a bunch of ideas that you can write in 1K or less!" and I'll get a bunch of, "bold of you to assume I won't write 30K on each of these"

I'll say, "a 500 word fic written in the middle of the night with a lightning bolt of inspiration and a dose of insomnia is one of the true joys in life" and they'll respond with, "Yeah. After I write the other 20K around it, maybe I'll post it."

Why do so many people refuse to acknowledge that oneshots exist and are awesome and are a valid storytelling medium?

I'm sorry you need 50K of buildup in order to get an emotional payoff but that sounds like a skill issue. Git gud.

#I'm waiting 24 hours #and posting this on my personal account #but holy GOD am I annoyed #for the millionth time #this always happens #it's like when I write about loving kudos and everyone turns it into a post about comments #THAT'S NOT THE CONVERSATION JAN!

Watching Ethos POV and then Scott’s made me weirdly sad because after Coral Isles got blown up Scott said “at least none of our chest got blown up” meaning he had no clue that it was Etho who fixed it for them!

#ethoslab #scott smajor #limited life #limited life smp #this always happens #I feel like there is at least one time each season where Etho fixes exploded chests #and he never gets the recognition #like he does it so quietly #and no one notices #I know he doesn’t care #and Etho just does it because he does it #so idk #it just made me go #aw no #they don’t know that he was being a sweetheart #anyway #just a small detail I noticed

Character who can’t control his heart eyes.

Me: That’s the one. I’m going to spiral over that one. That one is now my best friend. That’s my new blorbo. I want that one. I’m gonna watch him be embarrassingly in love and enjoy every second of it.

Hi, moon. I am with you on Armin being silly and making lame jokes to make annie smile or to tease her. Everytime I see manga Armin (specially those arts where he looks like a goofball.)I can see that.

Versatility, like, he can tell Annie some silly jokes, but at the same time he can come up with some very dark humor as well.

Yesss exactly!!

I just really like to imagine, that in an established relationship, where Armin is slightly more confident with himself around Annie and in their relationship together, that as bored as she looks all the time, she still listens to every word he says.

So it happens maybe, that one night in bed, he's reading aloud some boring political history book with Annie beside him, and she doesn't seem to be interested in the least, with her eyes closed or maybe flipping through a book of her own. It's important work he has to be getting done, but he's tired and exhausted with a headache coming along; it also seems like a much better use of his time to just cuddle Annie and focus on her - but there's a deadline, so with quiet frustration, he keeps reading and ends up making an irritated joke about something the book says.

And she laughs.

It's small, a barely-there chuckle, and all evidence of it is gone from her face before he can blink twice.

"What?" She asks him, and he says, "Well, you laughed."

Annie shrugs with another tiny smile on her face "I mean... it was funny. The way you said it."

Well of course it was funny, he thinks, fascinated. But it was also dumb as fuck.

From then on, he makes it a point to crack jokes. Good ones, smart ones, intelligent ones. And she rolls her eyes, smiles or chuckles at all of them, but it's only the really bad ones that make her laugh.

It's the brightest thing he's ever seen - Annie, with her eyes shut tight, little wrinkles on her nose, lips pulled apart to reveal pearly white teeth and rosy gums, and her clear, tickled laughter filling every corner of the room, or carrying in the breeze out in the open if that's where they are.

It helps that he gives her silly little nicknames like 'Annie Bear' that make her shrink with embarrassment while he hugs her from behind in the kitchen - because he's so, so lame. Little coos of "Annie Bear, you're so sweet~" evolve gradually into terrible bear jokes when he proceeds to dump his knowledge of bears and how they build their families. Naturally that begs the question (tho she's not asking), that if she's the Mama bear and he's the Papa bear, where the heck are the baby bears? At this point she's so fed up with him and the innocent-straight face he's pulling, but she's also bending over with her shoulders shaking with laughter and the fork in her hand that she was planning on poking him off with, is now rendered useless.

Of course, he gets bonus points for adding sexual innuendo to the awful jokes he makes and teasing her in the process for clearly getting turned on in addition to the laughter, eventually succeeding in pissing her off so much that she drags him to the bedroom and shuts him up. A success indeed, because he really enjoys that as well.

(ignore the heavy Papamin vibes in this one, I'm currently sick with papamin fever.)

So somehow it’s been over a year since I read svsss (time is not real) and I’ve been considering reading it again. Which is funny because the first time, despite finishing in five days, had me convinced it was better to just. Set that down. Like I remember being completely flabbergasted every step of the way. But nostalgia is one hell of a drug and now I’m convinced I actually loved it. I all of the sudden out of nowhere picked up reading fics for it months afterwards and it’s like yeah okay fine those are My Guys. Fuck it I’m definitely rereading

#I said I wouldn’t draw any fanart #drew fanart #this always happens #svsss #mxtx #scum villian self saving system
