#i literally crack up everytime #at least ten of the notes are from me

Stranger Things (2016 - ) I 4.08

Elaborate in the tagss

There is nothing more precious to me as a writer than the comments left on AO3. Whenever I get that email notification, I wonder what kind of comment was left. To have a little fun, I'm going to sort the typical comments into a few different categories and share my reactions to them as a writer.

If you feel I missed a comment type, please let me know. I'm curious to learn what other classifications you think exist (positive comment types only please - let's not make this negative). Also, if you wanted to tag yourself, I'd love you know what type of commenter you think you are.

The Polite Conversationalist - Your comment confirms that you read and enjoyed the fic or chapter. You offer praise for the author's efforts and encouragement for them to continue. - If this is you, please know that I'm imagining us holding a book club together. I brought us snacks.

The All Caps Reaction - You left the most unhinged comment. - You were screaming as you read it? I was screaming as I wrote it. Let's be friends.

The How Dare You - The angst is real. And painful. And I'm sorry but the story needed it. - This is a compliment of the highest order and I'm so glad you left it.

The Conspiracy Theorist - You are so invested that you are trying to figure out what comes next. - I'm so excited to read your ideas. They let me know the story tracks for you. And I'm either smiling because you guessed right and I'm excited for you to read what comes next, or I'm grinning because I know the plot twist is going to blow your mind.

The Catch-Up - You haven't commented in a while and are letting me know you are catching up. - I'm so glad you are back! I missed you. I know life gets busy and it means a lot to me that you took the time to read my story.

The Giggle - You laughed at my jokes and let me know. - Did we just become best friends? I'm already making you a bracelet.

The Callout - You found my favorite line in the chapter or fic. - I love you so much. You just made my day, my week, my month. Seriously, all the love for the reader. xoxo

Don’t forget-

The Heart Leaver- the person who might not have the energy or words to tell you how they felt about what you wrote but they let you know that they loved it anyways.

Also

The second Kudos- the commenter letting you know that they’re rereading or just fighting the one-kudos-per-fic

I love it when two characters are completely and utterly obsessed with each other to an unhealthy degree. Utter devotion to the point of insanity. To the point the lines blur as to what the nature of their relationship even is. Romantic? Platonic? Sexual? Familial? Professional? All and none of the above, somehow. They can’t exist without each other. Being together is making them both worse. They would watch each other sleep in bed at night every night if they could. They are literally always thinking about each other. They would kill and die for each other. They resent each other. Even seperating them isn't going to fix the situation at this point. They permanently live inside each other.

Stede Bonnet 100% has no idea what a hand job is.

Look at his eyes though. He is LOCKED on. He doesn’t know, and doesn’t seem to be figuring it out from context clues, but he is INTERESTED.

i need some victory today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some days you just need a velociraptor on your side.

“It might be nice, it might be nice,

To have a velociraptor on your side”

I have to say, I just started casually watching ofmd after basically watching it through you guys. I am already spoiled. I thought there would be no surprises. I am already aware of the best jokes, the foot touch, the plot beats. You can become an expert on any show simply by scrolling past gifs of it for months.

However, NONE of you prepared me for this little guy here:

It is profoundly obvious visually, through dash osmosis and general visible evidence, that this is a little man with a lot wrong with him. but what you cannot grasp from gifs is his voice. His voice is amazing: I did NOT expect it: I cannot describe it: the actor chews on his lines like a menacing guinea pig. It is like hearing Kermit the Frog trying to strangle his own puppeteer. Like someone has trapped a vengeful spirit in a balloon and is allowing it to speak prophecy, but only in short, squeaky bursts. No, I can’t describe it at all. I was expecting the character to be “scrungly” and was aware that many of you wish to place him in a jar and shake him vigorously, but I didn’t know he sounded like something that would cause all greyhounds in hearing distance to instantly go cross-eyed and launch themselves into outer space. He! Is! Scrofulous!!!!

If you watched the show on its first principles you probably wouldn’t have noticed this because you would have accepted it as part of the full sensory experience of the character, but if you have only encountered it as gifs for the best part of a year, the sound of this chap is one HELL of a shock . Definitely adds to the flavor. Enhances the sensory experience. Sign on today.

…Okay, what am I about to learn about Supernatural

Castiel looks like a baby in a trenchcoat and sounds like someone trying to do the Christian Bale batman voice but is also insanely in love with the person he is speaking to. 

BAHAHA YOU’RE RIGHT

The guy who looks like the crying cat meme, the guy from memes, the little guy, he really DOES sound like he is being dubbed in by an entirely different species of guy!!!

I feel 200x more appreciation for Supernatural having learned this about him. This is a small terrier with a Doberman voice actor. This is a Voice around which someone has draped a frumpy coat to give it some shape. The beigest little Ringwraith. Love this for all of you supernatural fans.

AO3 Top Relationships Bracket- Round 2 Side 1

This poll is a celebration of fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.

hate when i am accused of corruption just because i am suppressing political dissent with my GOONs (Guardians Of the Oglala Nation)

For anyone interested, there's a little movie called "Thunderheart" and it's about how the government conspired to illegally mine uranium on Oglala reservations. The GOONs feature quite clearly as the bad guy. Not going to say that it's 100% accurate but I feel like it's a good jumping off point for you if you want to be REALLY outraged.

I saw this on twitter but haven't seen it being shared here yet so:

During the moment Crowley shields Azi with his wing, a tiny star is created.

If you're into astronomy this may look familiar:

They created Alpha Centauri in this moment.

Their first display of love created the place that Crowley always wants to run away to with Aziraphale. He's taking Azi somewhere that's relevant to both of them because THEY MADE IT.
