Hi! I hope you are okay :) I always loved reading your fics. You have a great style of writing thing. You make me feel the things you write about. Peace and love
(Thank you. I'm surviving. I wish I could still be in fandom for the good people, but my mental health isn't up to the risks :()

Hello, I'd like to plot and rp with you with my Hux muse. I hope you'd be interested. (from exs-et-ohs )-I write as anon because it's a side-blog
(Hi, thank you, but I left tumblr due to the toxicity of the experience. If you use LINE app, I'm Davechicken there. I don't engage anywhere but there, but you are welcome to hit me up if you like using LINE. Xx)
Goodbye
It’s been fun, but this is a formal ‘I’m not writing for fandom any longer’ post. I’ve gotten to the point where the hate has me so low that I don’t even want to read my emails. I have feedback I have no idea if it’s nice or not. But I also don’t really care because for every nice email, there’s others telling me to take my own life, saying utterly disgusting things, etc. And I’m tired of even trying to pick through the BS. I shouldn’t have to, and so I will not.
I’ll be on Line app - as Davechicken. I’ll do some RP there, and chat, blah, and so on. But I’m bidding ‘fandom’ as a community goodbye.
It’s been fun, but it’s gotten too toxic for any amount of hazmat I can wear.
I will miss many good friends, but I also will not miss the drama insanity, or the sinking feeling when either you get no response, or you get your head kicked in for little to no reason.
With love,
DC
bye for a while
i’m sick of trying to art only to have fuckery thrown in my face
it used to be fun to create
but assholes take the joy from everywhere it seems
and i don’t feel like fighting the good fight any more
so i am taking my toys and going home to play with them
sorry to all the nice people. the assholes scream louder.
- peace
and no i can’t block trolls on ao3. i do on here. i can’t on ao3. i wish i fucking could. even if i turn on comment moderation i still see the bullshit from assholes who need to go take a long walk off a short cliff or out of any wifi and mobile phone signal and stay there.
fanfic writers put good hours of their life - and often their heart and soul - into their work. for a few likes, maybe a reblog, and a couple of comments. they also get a shit tonne of hate and abuse. and insults behind their backs. and whiny shit babies.
i know artists get shitbabies too but hey they get recognition. in fact, the whole damn lot of this is rotten to the core so i guess i’m just gonna rp in private where i don’t have to deal with assholes.
you wanna know why luke ran away to a nice birb infested island? other people. also he fucked up and felt bad. but it was other people too.
break
so i don’t feel like writing for a while because why fucking bother
i’ll be back if i ever don’t hate the human race enough
i only have so much health on my health bar for putting myself out there and being shit on
so well done trolls and wankers and everyone who hates me
i’m hibernating for a bit again because i’m so sick of giving a shit
“i really liked your post!”
Thanks How About You Reblog It :)
shroom-boi
just in case you’re wondering what i’m talking about:
13%, 21%, a whooping 30%, 15%, 21% again. and those are the stories that do well.
it’s almost like tumblr has a reblog button you could USE
LIKE IT? REBLOG IT!
it’s not fucking difficult.
shroom-boi
also i love how i gotta make these posts practically every time after i publish something.
look, i don’t give a fuck about money. i’m writing fic for fun. if you wanna throw a billion dollars at me, sure, you do you.
but literally all i want, all we all want, is for our stuff to be acknowledged. spread. REBLOGGED.
because obviously you read it and liked it, right?
so now all you have to do is hit that little button. it looks a little like this
and then that’s that.
or, on ao3, you write “i really liked this! thank you for sharing!”. and that’s that.
it takes absolutely ZERO EFFORT, and it makes you happy (because you liked what you just read) and it makes us happy (because our work can get potentially more readers), and everyone is happy.
and instead, there’s likes all around.
and likes are a little like seeing someone having their arms full with things and they drop their keys and you walk past and say “hey dude, i hope that works out for you!”
writers spend hours, even days and weeks or months on fics, pouring ourselves into it, forgoing sleep and food sometimes just to finish something because we hope you’ll like it.
and we get a litte ❤️ for our troubles and that’s it.
and especially when you get statistics like above - 42 likes and 9 reblogs - it feels like a kick to the face.
if every writer only wrote for themselves (”as you’re supposed to do uwu”), there wouldn’t be a single fic out there, because we’d keep all the fics. but we write for our audience too, hoping we’ll hear back, hoping people will spread our fics, “hey, look at this cool thing i read!”.
and that doesn’t happen.
so you start thinking “hey, maybe i shouldn’t publish this. it’s bad anyways, right? and it doesn’t make a difference if i do. it’s not like anyone cares.”
how many thousands and thousands of words for your favorite ship do you think are out there, saved on hard drives by authors who’ve given up wishing to publish their things, because “nobody cares.”
reblogging and commenting seems to be at an all time low at the moment. and you know what happens when you, the supplier, feel like there’s no demand out there?
you stop supplying.
because nobody cares enough to want to share it.
“thoughts and prayers with your fic! it was so good!” that’s what the like button means, to make an extreme comparison here.
and honestly, i don’t understand why.
reblog. your. writers. it’s all we ask for.
Support your fellow writers! It will come back around to you, I promise <3

so you start thinking “hey, maybe i shouldn’t publish this. it’s bad anyways, right? and it doesn’t make a difference if i do. it’s not like anyone cares.”
Was such a slap in the face because it’s literally how I feel whenever I write. At least leave a reply people.

Here’s a thing
Don’t leave shitty whining comments on WIPs
Don’t leave them and instantly delete so you can’t be told you’re a shitty, selfish, greedy, ignorant, offensive person
This is a callout post for you
You’re a shit human being. And I hope none of your WIPs ever update and you go stub your toe on a fucking door. Because you’re a selfish, horrible excuse for a human being.
Consider yourself TOLD

regardless of your feelings towards kylo ben you have to admit that the way kyle mister-i-have-to-dramatically-yell-every-order-i-give looks at hugs after dude screams ron’s one and only calm order is one of the funniest if not the fuckinfg funniest moment in the movie like
another one of my favourite scenes :’)
