Authors: I wrote an AU!

Most people: yay!! Thank u 🥺✨

🤡: that isn’t in the canon though :/

Authors: well.. yea... it’s... an alternative... universe

🤡: also it’s pretty OOC

Authors: the characters have completely different backgrounds, so...

🤡: lame :(

Everyone else:
Like I see it happen to pretty much every author I know (including me) and like...ya’ll realize it’s the online equivalent of knowing you don’t like cheesecake, eating someone’s homemade cheesecake, then spitting it out in their face and saying “I don’t like cheesecake”
Like, no one made you eat it Samantha, maybe just choke on it next time instead
also i can't speak for other authors, but i stopped caring about "in character" versus "out of character" ages ago, like

i care more about the story i'm telling, not if that's exactly what the character would say or do if they were transplanted directly from the canon 🤷‍♀️

The one thing I think about with the wall-of-tags fic is the fact that it’s exposed how entitled we feel to services from a platform that operates as a non-profit

I don’t think that AO3 doesn’t want to make changes, I think they lack the financial and logistical means to do so
And I’m not saying that the platform doesn’t exist in a way that encourages harassment, because it does. We’ve all seen it. But I’m not sure if there’s an obligation to the user when they aren’t profiting off of the site itself. There isn’t a customer/client relationship
And I wish something could be done about it, I really do, because there are some serious flaws in the platform that could be fixed with better moderation and a more secure set up, but that would require them to hire programmers and moderators that they simply can’t afford

i think it's important to remember that "cis" should not be considered a default, and neither should heterosexuality.

when people call making a character who's gender identity and sexuality haven't been explicitly discussed LGBTQIA+ "bending the canon" that's pretty rough
like, unless the character has explicitly said, "this is my sexuality," or "these are my pronouns / how I identify," they could be anything. You don't know. So, you might see them as straight, or cis, but that isn't any more grounded in reality than someone else's interpretation.
like, i personally view Dazai as bisexual in the canon, even though it's never explicitly said one way or the other. And I prefer to view Chuuya as a genderqueer character. Other people don't, and that's fine, but presuming one is more valid than the other is not cool

Now that I have awoken, this song is the inspiration behind the Sequel to everything or nothing, “Unconditional,” which is a much more HOPEFUL story lmao

The themes are similar to angels on the moon in the sense that it does focus on recovery, but it’s less about grief in this sense and more about trauma.

It picks up around six months after Chuuya’s surgery, and while Everything or Nothing and Angels on the Moon focused more on
Dazai’s emotional growth, Unconditional is going to be more even handed in the sense that you’re going to see a lot more of Chuuya’s growth as well.

But overall it’s a happy story and there’s going to be comedy, smut, and fluff to go with everything, and a happy ending!

I sometimes feel like we don’t want to see characters as weak and insecure because we would rather think that self confidence is inherent rather than something that is built up over time with effort because it precludes us from having to take that journey ourselves
My little cousin has been getting into naruto lately and I’m rethinking my Sakura hatred okay I’m INTROSPECTIVE
Because honestly I hated characters like her, or Sansa from Game of Thrones, and Armin from attack on Titan, but they had some of the greatest character arcs ever BECAUSE they weren’t confident 🤔
