I did this, btw, and it was really nice and chill. Not a struggle at all, and I plan to do it again very soon. My attention span is not bad at all once I remove the devices that constantly disrupt it.

But also maybe I need a watch bc without my phone I had no idea what time it was ๐Ÿ˜† oops

God, I hope BTS absolutely never ever ever do the Superbowl halftime show. Keep those boys safe and away from all of that.

The best fic moodboard you've ever seen, from top left: a wedding bouqeut, sexy Seokjin in a suit, a sexy suited Namjoon mirror selca, and a wedding stage with lots of flowers

maybe one day I can do more for visuals than putting 4 pictures together on Canva, but it is not today.

yeah the practice might be more normalised in one fandom over another, depending on how old/new the fandom is and the demographics contained within it. I'd imagine new and younger fandoms might be pushing for monetisation more bc the community norms aren't as deeply rooted - but that's conjecture

It vaguely reminds me of knitters who make amazing jumpers no one could ever afford to buy from them bc of how long it takes - so knitters make the jumpers for the love of the game, and not bc anyone could ever afford their labour. To me fic is like that, too - out of love, not profit.

that's a fair distinction to make. if we accept this is a societal problem at large - we can't afford to do shit for free bc of late stage capitalism - bringing that problem to a gift economy like fandom must be 1) a very poor financial move ๐Ÿ˜… 2) asking a community based on free labour to pay up

Real question - are fic writers who ask for "tips" via kofi or have patreons a part of the "let's monetise fanfic!" problem?

In other words, if you can't afford to write fic for free, which is completely fair btw, does this mean you simply just shouldn't write?

I'm trying to write short chapters for the WIP, mostly to keep it manageable for myself. So 5k, then that's a wrap on the chapter. And for a 20k-per-chapter-writer, this is a big adjustment. I mostly feel like it's just endless cockteasing of readers tbh. Sorry about that I guess ๐Ÿ˜‘

side note, mentioned here ages back I have a married colleague who is visibly SO IN LOVE with another colleague. I'm now in the same team as Married Man and all he does is TALK ABOUT THE WOMAN HE IS CLEARLY IN LOVE WITH WHO IS, AGAIN, NOT HIS WIFE.

kinda sweet but also sad

why do I have 6 hours of meetings scheduled on a FRIDAY?? I do not deserve this, 10/10 am clocking out as soon as the last one ends to work on a little story about my kpop boys maybe kissing. that's what baby jesus would want me to spend my time on.

Olympic takes: I hope my girl Kaori gets that gold for her retirement present but after she's gone, who am I rooting for... Yuma? He's great but can't win anything under this scoring system. no stars left in figure skating, and little intrigue. but Kaori, my queen, I will root for you until the end

Guys... you don't have to buy the new ARMY bomb. Would Yoongi want you to be a bitch to capitalism? No.

fomo isn't real. Yoongi is real.

Watching a Korean variety travel show and these ahjussis are in Vienna and keep calling it Europe in a general way and while it's not geographically inaccurate, it is such a pet peeve. You've seen 3 blocks around St Stephen's Cathedral, pls relax

Has that ever been the "normal culture", though? I'd say it's an ideal culture that has never been achieved, and one that ppl often like to refer to (especially in a "well I WOULD IGNORE THEM" moral superiority tone)

Honestly I just might be a pdogg stan bc whenever I go "fuck this Bangtan song is so good" and go look up who wrote and produced it, it's always fucking pdogg

I feel like we're heading for a rough year, let our boys breathe in peace. We'll see them on stage twice a week, like come on

Can you imagine their anxiety levels whenever they leave their hotels ๐Ÿ™ƒ
