“i have to study” i say as i open ao3

artists be like "doodle" and make something that would take me 20 years and my soul sold to the devil

it does make me giggle a little that kpop groups do japanese versions of their songs and their japanese fans seem to fw it but when they do english versions the west goes "no 🫶" and continues to butcher korean lyrics instead of learning the english words

if you get 5 kudos on a fic that might not seem like much. but imagine standing in a room and 5 complete strangers come over to say they like something you did. feels different yeah?

nos vies en lumiere on its way make it onto my yt music wrapped, mark my words

I highly advise ifans to read multiple diff translations of an idols statements bc SO MUCH nuance gets lost in translation and the closest you can get to understanding the true depth of their words is to see all the different ways it’s interpreted by native speakers

One of my biggest social weaknesses is that I rarely ask personal questions, not out of lack of interest, but rather out of fear of accidentally prying inappropriately. (Instead, I just volunteer my own personal information, then stop talking to let the other person reciprocate)

pros of letting a WIP rest: coming back to it with fresh eyes ☺️ cons of letting a WIP rest: coming back to it with fresh eyes 😰

does anyone else have that one internet friend that disappeared off the face of the earth and you never heard from them again

Who knew that sleeping for 9 hours within a reasonable time frame from 10pm-7am would feel this good!! (everyone knew, everyone has been telling me)

also on this - fanfic is not a commodity. you don't need to create the next big hit. you don't need to make ur fic appealing to the largest possible audience. you don't need to be the best. you just need to create something YOU love. that's how you find your audience & your niche

exam season is actually crazy cause you think you're studying but you're actually learning

physics is fun until someone tells you you need to go into the lab*
