healing my inner child via the queer media I didn’t get to have as a kid. they/them. 32. ND af. mostly byler, i write fics sometimes :) otherwise memes & analysis - specifically picking apart queer subtext.
As a fanfic author, I really love getting comments. I literally turn into the *sobbing, gently holds* emoji when I get one & cry over it. Thank you to folks who comment 🥰
It can be hard tho. What do I say?? How do I show this person I loved their fic??
Here’s a template! 💕
Basic

Add more
This was awesome! Thanks for writing! One of my fave lines was when <character> <said/did> <“quote from fic”>. Loved that wording. Pls write more! 💞
Detailed
Omg wow I loved this! This is one of my fave quotes: <“line from fic”>. Especially the word <word> there, such a good choice. I was surprised when <character> <did/said> <thing> (because <reason>)! Why did you make that choice? Tell me more pls! Thanks for writing!!
Wow this author will kiss you on the mouth
THIS FIC THO!!! So good! I loved it, thank you for writing!! My god we are all blessed.
Here are <2-5> of my favorite quotes: <list them>. <Bonus: Give reasons why>
I loved it when <character did/said thing>. <Character> usually <does/says other thing> so at first I was surprised but then I thought about how <plot point/character development from fic or from show> so then I was like whoa that makes total sense! Love the way you thought about that.
In my own life I <do/think/feel> <yada yada> so when <character did thing> that really resonated with me so much. I felt really seen by that.
You are such a <adj: romantic, aggressive, powerful, thoughtful, soft, etc> writer! Such a joy to read this.
Can I offer you a fic prompt that I’d love to read? I’d love to read about <character> and <character> <doing thing> and I love your writing style so it would be so cool if you wrote about it! No pressure tho <3
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
shut up shut up shut UP every single person in my 3rd grade friend group turned out to be queer (except for one, the token straight guy) and there were EIGHT of us. queer people find each other, even if they don’t know they’re queer.
I feel like saltburn was basically if Call Me By Your Name (but just the peach scene) and Kill Your Darlings had a baby that introduced an autistically coded protagonist and harmfully perpetuated stereotypes about those who don’t socialize in a neurotypical way being potentially violent sociopaths who are best shunned and avoided 🙃
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we?
It's you and me—
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

Oh excuse me this is really beautiful, not me considering watching this show now 😂 It shows, that this was a big influence on the duffers. Every emotional convo in ST has a similar quality to it.
jack coming out as gay to his (ex) gf joey from dawsons creek is so elmike coded
