@crownlessagain.bsky.social the only thing I can think about now is you shaking your brain like one of those lunchboxes with dividers that don’t really do much as soon as the box gets turned on it’s side or something

@crownlessagain.bsky.social *looks at your backstory* Knife. Buddy. If you claimed to have been mentally well as a child I would NOT believe you. I’m glad your coping mechanism was writing fanfics in your brain :BigBlobhajHug:

@ghostygoo.bsky.social fair. I get anxiety even thinking about going to a crowded event, but take me to the woods? I’m gonna be hobbling around off the trail looking for snacks knowing damn well how easy it is to get lost in that forest. Even if it weren’t for the social anxiety, the one time I […]

"fic authors just want recognition that's why they're mad" I mean,,,, they make masterpieces for free. I feel like it's reasonable to want a little bit of recognition and knowledge that people are enjoying their work, but that's not even the problem???? AO3 has protections that other sites do not!!!

Not only is it against Ao3's terms of service to redistribute fics, it's also just really fucking rude. AO3 has legal protections and protection against AI scraping that other sites do not. Reposting other people's work to somewhere they have no control over it is a really shitty thing to do.

@TheBookewyrme I’ve tried their stuff before, I can’t deal with the smell unfortunately. Way too perfumey. I’m gonna stick with ion, but just avoid the semi-permanent stuff!

Discord is forcing US users to opt-in to a privacy breach, which is great. Go to to Settings > Data & Privacy > then untick "Show my message content from Discoverable channels" on web pages. EU users are, as usual, opt-in.

@artiacinsomnist.bsky.social I wish you luck. If it’s used for larger events, there’s a good chance there’s an email or phone number somewhere, maybe a website or a poster on the building or something? (Fingers crossed)

Pro tip: If you’re painting a thing that necessitates laying in the floor at a weird angle, take a break BEFORE you start getting sore. Ask me how I rediscovered this groundbreaking knowledge.

@artiacinsomnist.bsky.social does the theatre have a list and found? Or a person who works there who you can ask? People find stuff on the floor of my theatre all the time and give them to us to hold onto until someone asks after it, we’ve even got a designated spot for little tiny stuff behind […]

@TheBookewyrme I tend to lean towards characters that are weird about each other in one way or another in canon! The kind of “weird about each other” varies so much

@crownlessagain.bsky.social I’m gonna be honest, it has only gotten worse. I’ve dabbled in way too many different languages over the last ten years. I really need to just pick one and focus on actually being able to talk to people in something other than my usual English with sprinkles
