Take my hand. You will not miss twitter if you delete your account. You will not miss out on cultural shifts or news or memes or anything like that because the internet is all one big Sharefest anyway. If something truly funny or interesting or alarming happens on that app it will be screenshotted and shared somewhere else. I understand that it used to be fun. But now it’s an app owned by a scumbag built on an algorithm intentionally made to get you upset because rage gets clicks & replies. I’m not saying this judgmentally I’m saying it as someone who had a final straw two years ago & feels infinitely better in online spaces now without twitter in my life.
I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You
doubly for shipping. at risk if biting the hand that feeds me, a well written fictional relationship should ideally be more than a didactic template for how to have a nice relationship
they dont tell you this but you carry your upset younger self in you like a parasitic twin
wrote a new post-canon fic !!! vi-centric this time mwah
Summary:
“Think I wanna get snakebites,” she says. Caitlyn, pen in hand, freezes in her seat. “Excuse me?” “I want to get snakebites,” Vi repeats, now firmer. If there were gears inside Caitlyn's head, they would be turning right now. Any moment now, smoke will start coming out of her ears with how hard she's frowning. “You…want to get bitten by a snake?”
Sometimes you spot a piercing shop on your way to have breakfast with your girlfriend and it leads to the realization that you've been wanting things your whole life. The rest comes slowly.
