Good morning today is a "feel sad about Nimue" kind of day. Thinkin' bout those parallels. Thinkin' about how got I really got, once again.
Once again I am angry about fanpol literally ruining fandom for me. It's been six years, but being put in the goddamn hospital is still somehow not enough time to get over it. I feel so whiny and paranoid I s2g
Like it's pretty simple -- I don't want to be accused of being a sex pest. It's literally impossible to tell what in fandom will make people accuse me of being a sex pest. Doing anything in fandom that draws attention to myself has the possibility of drawing the attention of people who would accuse me of being a sex pest for displeasing them in any way, such as contradicting their headcanons.
Look, I already thought Mia Mulder was hot and then she just spends like. Half the Transvestigations video without a shirt and I ammmmmmmmmmm women.
Sometimes you have a brain, and it combines things in well-meaning but nevertheless cursed ways, and you have to go tell your friends immediately because you're an evil genius. And sometimes it does that and you go "ah. I know exactly what caused this, and I will be telling to absolutely nobody about it"
I spoke about the thing to a couple of friends and it has a name now -- None AU with Left Gun. Have fun parsing out what that means.
Sooooooo. Comment Assist is out. Now to figure out what threads it's supposed to go here because obviously I don't want people to think I'm picking the leave-comments fight again :|c
I mean I have mellowed out on it, realising that lurkers are allowed to exist. I also got, like, a bunch of pushback from people thinking I think all comments are is "extra kudos", which made me realise that perhaps sometimes people are just jerks. But I do realise that I was very strict and rude about it because I was riding the high of feeling like I'd come about a Solution(tm). It's a struggle. I think I've made something genuinely useful and the enthusiasm people have shown for having and using Rekudo has been really heartening, and I think -- as bad as some of the prompts are -- that this is another step to lowering the comment floor.
