I wanna do my makeup and post new selfies because I’m restless but realistically I know no one cares about seeing my selfies so I can’t justify doing a full face for no reason just to have to take it all back off immediately afterwards lmao 🙃

“where’s the army?”
he had an army once
a brave, loyal, tight knit army of brothers who laid down their lives every single day for what they believed in. or rather, what they’d been told to believe in.
an army of identical men with all unique, individual personalities and dreams and mannerisms. an army that would have given everything up for freedom if they’d known.
in the end, what did it matter if they meant it or not?
he knew their loyalties. they’d saved him from certain death more times than he could count.
what did it matter if they knew they had to betray it all eventually?
they were his friends. at least for a while.
he knew they would have done anything for this little girl. the daughter of their greatest hero. they would have loved her. and the boy, too.
but no. there would be no army. those days had passed, their fire across the galaxy extinguished like it had never existed in the first place. everything they’d spent years upon years building, protecting, dying for. gone. like the flick of a switch.
like fire.
fire against fire. the blink of an eye. gone.
there would be no army. now, it was just him and this girl against the galaxy.
“come. i’m going to get you out of here.”

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.
