Damsel Chapter 3 Leaked. I'm Dubbing It The Bride (Pls Black Tabby Games Make It Canon)

Damsel Chapter 3 leaked. I'm dubbing it The Bride (Pls Black Tabby Games make it canon)

I woke up this morning out of a dream I don't remember with nothing but the phrase

"You're meant to slay the princess, not MARRY her!"

stuck in my head.

Instant visuals of a cabin reconstructed as a church. Shifting mound and Long Quiet in wedding outfits. Narrator splutters indignantly. Smitten weeps in inconsolable joy. Every other voice stands about in the aural equivalent of having your mouth hanging open.

I mean, I don't know if I'm getting visions of The Pristine Cut, but I am amusing myself endlessly.

Okay everybody, this is your reminder to not pirate or bootleg Cinderella’s Castle

Do not pirate from the small theatre company

I've seen complaints that one of the more annoying things about Luigi's mansion 2 is how often E. Gadd calls, but I personally love it? Like, a lot.

E. Gadd is so bad at relating and making emotional connections, but darn it all he really cares about his friend, and the most valuable things he can offer besides his inventions are instruction, advice, and a quick escape if things go wrong, so of course he's going to be checking in every two minutes.

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

If you think people used to willingly stare off into the distance before smartphones, my dad told me he had this psychology assignment when he was in college in the 80s which was basically

Go to a restaraunt by yourself and eat a meal without a newspaper or journal or anything else to keep you occupied and then write a report about it

Which tells me that this was a way for a professor to inflict psychological torture on their students and that people used to bring little things with them to keep them entertained. Shown by those old pictures of everyone in a trolley reading a newspaper with one hand.

Frankly I think that the human brain has been craving smart phone forever. Perhaps we use it too much at times but if this was 1985 we also wouldn’t be talking to people. We’d just be looking at newspaper or drawing stuff on notepad instead. And the old people would all be shaking their fists about how kids spend too much time looking at that damn TV because yes this discourse has been going on long before smart phone
