manyang: awww look at this grumpy cat
#my fave bit about this is that jw probably had no idea how indebted manyang ppl felt after he unintentionally helped reframe mj’s image#after lcj tarnished it on purpose#to jw it was just him letting ppl know what he (and the police force) always knew: there was a serial killer in manyang all this time#but to manyang ppl and mj’s family he destroyed lcj’s smear campaign at the cost of his father abandoning him#and that was an ounce of sensitivity no one in the substation expected of jw so here they are#jw meanwhile: y y’all do this??? 😠💢#bec hes never been shown gratitude in this manner; no one stood up for him like this before; and now these colleagues simply do :’)#(nsb was a real one; man saw jw not understanding shit and spoke like a tru father)#beyond evil

Go read an old fic.
There’s such recency bias in fandom. As an author you post something, get a few reactions, and then it goes off into the bin. As a reader you check the tags, see what’s new, and move on. But a lot of old stuff is really good. It’s just sitting there, gathering dust, waiting for someone to take a peek.
So go on. Treat yourself.
Read an old fic.
I’d argue there’s a bias against like… middle-aged fics in particular. A lot of people sort by kudos or bookmarks, but that’s going to be strongly biased toward older fics, which have had more time to accumulate them. Then there’s people that sort by date and read the newest. But there’s so much good material in that middle area.
A friend taught me her trick for smaller fandoms, which is to sort by kudos and use the published date filters to go through the fandom in 6-month increments. Within a 6-month time span, you’re not really going to get the kudos-over-time bias. Basically, you end up reading the best fics of each 6-month period until you start hitting fics below your quality threshold, wherever that is. You’ll find so much good material that way that would never have crossed your line of sight otherwise.
This is a clever idea, and I’m reblogging it so I remember to do it.
Isn't this obvious? You committed a crime, so you must pay for it. Inspector Han Ju Won.
BEYOND EVIL (2021)
One of the things C.S. Pacat does so, so well in the Captive Prince trilogy is trusting the reader to read between the lines.
An example: in the first book, when the boar hunt happens, it is never explicitly stated (at least the time, maybe it's discussed later and I can't remember) that someone had fucked with Laurent's horse. All Damen sees is that the horse is sweaty and intractable, which he takes as a sign that Laurent either can't afford a good horse or sucks at picking one for a hunt. Later, after the horse is killed in the boar hunt, Damen notices that Laurent comes in in a vicious mood, but he never realizes that Laurent is reacting to a murder attempt and grieving the death of the horse.
The details are all there. Laurent speaks softly to the horse. A guard explains that the horse was good and well trained. Laurent yelled at a guard for not putting her down fast enough. And when Laurent tells Damen it's "just a horse", Damen marks his tone as "jagged" and "private" despite the flippant words. But he still doesn't connect the dots.
The trilogy is full of these little mysteries, threads left unexplained, that close reading and careful analysis of the characters will reveal to the reader. Considering most books make their POV character clever enough that they can lay out these threads blatantly for the reader to follow, it's a refreshing change.
#me when the regent said ‘when u were such a lovely boy’ to laurent: OH NO NO NO#meanwhile damen: aight that sounds ok#captive prince#text#damen isnt good at subtleties which makes him the perfect narrator of the story#bec if he knew everything right off the bat then none of the reveals would mean much
one of the things I appreciate about captive prince is that the enemies to lovers is actually enemies to lovers.
like no, i don’t want enemies to friends to lovers. i want the real thing, no training wheels. enemies to lovers is good because it can be so raw and full of conflicting emotions. putting the transitional friends stage in can be okay, but there’s nothing like full on enemies to lovers.

Why fic no climb out of my head and lie down in paper? Why must I write fic? ☹
Shen Qingqiu really wins the "Who has the weirdest In-Law" competition considering the fact that the first time he met his (soon-to-be) father-in-law he jumped on a coffin to hide in and said "Excuse me sir, do you mind if I disturb you inside?" And then Tianlang-Jun, from inside the coffin, replied "Yeah, sure, that's absolutely fine :)"
And Tianlang-jun is so excited to meet him not because he'd heard of Shen Qingqiu in a normal way, but because he heard a ballad about this guy getting absolutely wrecked by his son and wanted to meet one of the stars of his favourite porno. And Shen Qingqiu just has to live with that knowlege.
CONSTANTINE (2005) dir. Francis Lawrence
I hate hate hate how people have corrupted the concepts of boundary setting and consent to attack other people for living their lives in ways they don't approve.
"People making nsfw art of my work is violating my boundaries" is absolutely indistinguishable from "people wearing collars in public are violating my consent." Neither of those are reasonable statements because they're applying personal concepts to other people's lives.
People drawing porn of fictional characters and posting it to their pixiv accounts are not violating your boundaries. People wearing clothes in public that you don't like do not need your consent. You are one person in a very large world of countless other people living their lives in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with you. Get over it.
