"Bated" is one of those bits of fourteenth-century dialect that modern English speakers are only familiar with because of a single phrase Shakespeare used one time.
unrelated to the current convo, every time I see someone say that a ship can't/shouldn't be shipped because "he hates her!" I'm like dude that's the fuckin point I GUARANTEE that that's why they are being shipped I'm sorry but ships don't have to be healthy, they just have to be interesting
Oh dear... I found this comparison of a particularly obnoxious Lord Potter fic with the same writer's earlier fic which served as its rough draft, and... well. Spoiler: length, deadly violence against a small child Bolding for emphasis mine.
Gods bring back the Homestucks in full force so that they can chant the praises of foeyay to the heavens so hard that none can deny it.
True. I'm still boggling somewhat. I think this guy might be the same guy who leaves reviews on the Harry Potter section of hentai-foundry and persistently calls Harry Hadrian. That was confusing to observe.
Mood when its a rarepair and you read all the fics fitting what you wanted to see and now you're just :( Perhaps someday I'll make some my self but lemme just say it's star wars and all the jargon goes over my head but without the jargon it wouldn't feel right so I'm just, bleh
Recently got into it cause I got reminded that rogue one exists -- Cassian/K-2SO Mostly ive been wanting mildly angsty slowburns, but I think I've gotten to the available slowburns haha Actually I've just found someone writing a series of the ship this feb 2020, which is exciting
This character already has multiple canonical nicknames, why are you making up a different, infinitely worse one.
The character is Phoenix Wright, canonically nicknamed "Nick" and "Feenie." This person (a liveblogger, technically, not a ficcer; I just put it here because it's a very fanfic-adjacent sort of gripe) has been calling him "Phwee" and has now started calling him "Poo." I'm dying, Squirtle.
They're. They're having fun. I don't want to harsh their buzz. But I'm dying, Squirtle. (And yes, this is the same person who prompted this.)
wait so that one has to be about narumitsu i take it? because oh. oh no. i feel that one in particular in my soul
Hokay, I admit, I am mostly in this fic for the OT3, but author, when you open the first chapter with An Spoopy Mystery, I, the reader, then expect some follow up on that Spoopy Mystery at some damn point in the story. Instead, it’s chapter 10 of 14 of wall-to-wall domestic fluff, and Mr Chekhov is spinning in his grave.
