The current state of pop girlies is so funny like
Ariana Grande: getting dragged for homewrecking with the guy who played SpongeBob in the SpongeBob musical
Taylor Swift: dropping her worst album in years about how deeply obsessed she is with Matty Healy
Billie Eilish, for some reason:

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

it's crazy to me that with lena & nia cwsg had 2 characters who are little sisters with difficult relationships with their older siblings, mothers who died (which they blame themselves for not preventing), magic powers which they inherited from their mothers, etc. so basically the perfect foils. and then they had a couple scenes together in s6 and that was it. go cwsg give us nothing!
Hahaha right? And especially given how Lena and Brainy were such buddies, why wouldn't she and Nia interact more.
Maybe if there was less tunnel vision in the writers room about Lena's post-reveal storyline having to go a certain way, with her in total isolation and Lex playing such a prominent role (again) ... dragging the whole thing out until the season finale.
We could have gotten more of this, and sooner ... sigh.

for those who don’t know, hulu’s under the bridge is based off of the very real and brutal death of a 14-year-old girl. the story of reena virk is widely known and is still talked about where i grew up. her family has run anti-bullying campaigns across the province for as long as i can remember.
so while i know a lot of people will watch it in the coming days for lily gladstone and riley keough, i hope you also take away the message that i think the show is doing a god job of delivering so far: if bullying and racism go unchecked, the consequences can be dire for those who are the the most vulnerable. if you are silent, you are complicit.
