Suicide Squad | New Joker still (x)

FUCK YES

“I lost my puddin.”

I don't care

I don’t care what is happening. I don’t care where we are in the world. I will always love you. You will always be my number one. My missing puzzle piece. My other, better, half. Baby you will always ALWAYS be more than good enough. Nobody is better than you. Nobody beats you. I will always stand by you and trust you. But you need to trust me too. It’s just nice to know on occasion that you’re proud of dating me and, in a way, it’s nice to be shown off. Not in the sexualized way but in a way that lets me know you’re happy and not ashamed to be with me in a public setting. In a way that tells me you’re proud of me. That you’re proud to call me yours. I love you and I always will. You’re always going to be my rose, completely timeless and loved with a passion that is never ending.

i don’t think people really get how little feedback fanfic authors actually get? like the effort to reaction ratio is so abysmally skewed here that a fic nearly 50,000 words long takes an entire year to amass like. 16 comments. someone reblogged a fic i wrote at 4 am and tagged it with a 5-word compliment and i can’t stop thinking about it, not because it was so nice but because half the time you post a fic you’re going to hear nothing and anything feels like so much

fandom culture is so, so good about giving artists the credit they’re due, but we gotta start doing that for writers too. you’ve got no idea how much people put into their stories and get maybe a handful of reblogs and a dozen-odd kudos. that’s not enough. writing is an endurance sport and y’all need to start giving fic writers a reason to endure it and improve their craft. encourage writers like you encourage artists. reblog fics, leave tags, leave comments, acknowledge that these stories do not just spring into being for your entertainment. 

every single damn writer i know feels like half of their readers see them as a machine. that’s gotta change. 

the number of people tagging this post as “this is why i stopped writing” is so deeply upsetting to me but at the same time it is really, really strong evidence that there is a real problem here

it is hard to create fanfic when you feel like you’re writing for ghosts. i recognize that anxiety disorders and various complications make it goddamn difficult to comment on a fic, but there needs to be more way, way more verbal support of writers than there currently is. 

leaving kudos is great, liking posts is great (in fact, way more people should be doing the former; so many tags on this post mention only getting one kudos for every 10-20 hits), but ultimately if all you receive is silence you’re going to feel like no one cares about that story you’ve sunk countless weekends into creating. 

there’s a really common misconception that fanfic authors write only for themselves and/or for love of a series, and while both of those things are true, that’s far from the whole scope of things. fanfic authors write for their for their stories to be read and for the readers to get something out of it, even if that something is just ‘damn, that was hot.’ we’re not shouting into a void here. we’re hoping to hear something back, and right now all we’re getting is echoes. 

the lack of tangible support and encouragement for authors is a problem, and you can go through the tags on this post if you don’t believe me on that. 

Sadly this is very true
