You know, I never thought to sort fics by bookmarks. That's actually a smart idea. I remember there was pseudo-discourse last year about someone making a claim they only read fics if the kudos to hit ratio was 10 or under (and I started doing actual research into the validity of that and then... got... distracted), but bookmarks seem like a decent way to gauge genuine interest, for a lack of better words. And I say that, only to keep reading your post and.... fucking yikes. We sure live in a society, huh?
That's beyond frustrating. That's teetering on "wow, we really do need to blow everything up in order to start fresh" levels of existential dread. Fuck, I'm so so sorry you have to deal with that at your job, never mind running into it on AO-fucking-3.
On the flip side, I've been fucking petrified of writing Tenna in my own fic. I swear half the reason he's stayed as Just A TV is bc I'm that scared of messing up his voice and everyone reading inventing a way to throw tomatoes via the Internet to launch them at my face. But like... no, why am I scared. I've literally been rewatching playthroughs daily since I beat the game and taking notes on his speech patterns and jotting down dialogue samples as an exercise... while others are just defaulting to AI slop.
Yeah, definitely hate it too. But it also makes me feel WAAAAAY better. We're doing ok, friend. Keep writing your toxic old man yaoi 💕
