Friendly Reminder That Fan-made Content (fanart, Fanfic, Fanvids, Etc) Are:

Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:

extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example

entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.

S H A R E D  with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E  to do it. 

Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.

“Fintan isn’t a twink” “calling fintan a twink reduces/degrades his character” im gonna hold your hand while i tell you this…

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

People will be like Shannon always tells instead of showing :/

And then Shannon will show something instead of telling it

And people will be like ugh I’d appreciate this more if Shannon actually acknowledged what she was writing, but clearly she isn’t writing it like this on purpose/wants us to read this a different way than what makes sense

Can we all just collectively agree that Shannon knows what she’s writing. Like please. She knows what’s happening in her series she knows she is characterizing her characters she knows what she wrote and it is not a surprise to her. She is not as unaware of her own characters as some people seem to think she is

Elvin age gaps should work like human age gaps.

Five years is a big deal when you’re 12 and 17, but they don’t really matter once you’re 20 and 25, and they matter even less once you’re 35 and 40.

So like for elves it would be like, a 50 year age gap is huge when you’re 20 and 70, but not a big deal when you’re 250 and 300.

A 100 year age gap is a lot when you’re 40 and 140, but doesn’t even matter once you’re 310 and 410.

A 1000 year age gap is INSANE when you’re 200 and 1,200, but if you’re 2,500 and 3,500, nobody cares.

I feel like it shouldn’t just be “once they’re adults all gaps just kinda cease to exist” like ear pointiness being a thing does show that as people get very old there are visual reminders that the person is your elder and it feels like it doesn’t mean nothing
