petition to make Character A*Character B the official ao3 tag for hatred. i see you, slash shipping. i see you, familial and platonic "&". i see you, queerplatonic "~". but we should just let them beat the living shit out of each other out of pure, genuine hatred sometimes you agree and reblog

too many people don't know this so yes, the ~ is for queerplatonic relationships. can we go back to beating the living shit out of people now

somewhere out there, a writer is looking at the anguished keysmash and string of emojis you left on their fics and smiling. somewhere out there, somebody's shitty day has been made a teensy bit brighter because of you said you want them to update their writing. somebody who's feeling insecure about their story is sitting down to write a few more paragraphs because you said you loved their style.

you may have left a detailed paragraph about the structure of their sentences and their usage of extended metaphors. you may have also left a "COMPLETE PERFECTION. PLEASE WRITE MORE I NEED IT". we love you and need your validation more than oxygen nonetheless. 🫵 go comment on somebody's fic

to everyone saying their comments don't matter: they DO. writers don't care whether your comment sounds apathetic or unenthusiastic, because even something like (taking prev's example) "wow i loved this. this is cool. you are good at this Writing thing." will help. nobody will ever find you annoying or insincere.

why? because you took the time out to say that you liked our fics and you think they're cool. that in itself means more than any notion of tone or emotion. comment on fics, guys. that in itself spreads more joy and motivation than you'll ever know.

don't believe me? look at the tags :)
