Just got back from the brain hospital for non covid reasons. I'm a-okay but I think I need a social media detox for a bit so I'll see you all when my strength of will breaks down (probably tomorrow)

Something I think is neat and really cute about fanfic is that there’s a personal version of each character in it? Like, each writer focuses on different traits and qualities and even though there can be a hundred fics with the same character, they’re really not exactly the same.

So even if you and I are writing a fic with the same characters, they can still be uniquely different despite having the same core and they’re each dear to us personally as our take on the person.

I don’t know, I just think it’s cute that each writer cherishes these characters in personal and unique ways.

This is the heart of the Two Cakes rule

It really is.

What’s more, every reader who’s read more than one version of a character has their internal perception of that character enriched by the versions of that character written by those authors.

And those are the result of every version of the character in every fic the authors have read.

It’s a massive progression towards complexity and realism for the character in the minds of the storytellers.

In a way, it’s Infinite Cakes.

I’m the kind of person who wastes inventory space in games carrying around useless items that mean something to me or my character

My feelings on the whole 'likes < reblogs' thing with art is that, as an artist, it feels counterintuitive. If I started saying that, it could make people afraid to interact with my art at ALL, cause they might think I'm judging them for seeing my art and not reblogging it. If likes as a concept were completely removed, it wouldnt suddenly inspire someone to reblog my art. They'd just appreciate it quietly, and I'd be none the wiser. A like is someone going 'I see you, I support you, you're doing great!' A reblog is the same thing, except that person would also like it on their blog. It sucks that a piece being seen by a wider audience somewhat relies on reblogs, but it's not everyone else's responsibility to make my art gain traction

I love using “good catch”

I also say “thanks for the update” or “thanks for the head’s up!”

“I really appreciate the head’s up!” also a classic

If I haven’t gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say “thank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decided…”

don’t apologize for piddly things! 

thank you > sorry

I need to remember

thank you > sorry

Thank you for waiting for me > sorry for being late

Thank you for helping me/for your time/for listening to me > sorry for bothering you

Thanking someone when they do you a favour > apologizing for your existence

This is especially hard when you haven’t been taught that people need to respect your limits, but with a bit of practice you can absolutely get there!
