I'm going to (affectionately) strangle my past self, cause what is this writing omfg. /pos

y'all ever write something and go back to read it later and it's like some old writing god possessed you and slowly, tenderly guided your hands across the keys to craft a sentence that has the same vibe as sitting on your porch swing in the country side, sipping tea and watching the sunset? no? oh, okay

cruel irony

Stunt double Himiko/Practical effects artist Ochako.

Hear me out.

They both work on the same movie set. Despite her quirk being stereotypically villainous, Himiko found success and family with a team of SFX artists: Dabi, who uses his quirk for pyrotechnics, Shigaraki, who uses his quirk to help clear debris/sites (he's also on standby for more risky stunts, since he can get locks and stuff open/broken quickly), and Mr. Compress for behind the scenes movements, like people/objects disappearing/reappearing practically. Spinner has appeared as the reptilian monster in several movies, and puts forth his best effort to give the "monster" another more "human" dimension.

Twice is the one who was able to get Himiko a spot on the team. He uses his clones as stunt doubles, but since he needs a bunch of measurements and they can't take a hit, they aren't very effective. The only good things about them is that 1) They can test harnesses and other equipment before putting someone's life on the line, and 2) they don't have to memorize lines, because the person he copied already knows theirs.

He recommends Himiko as a good stunt double, since she has training when it comes to fighting, and it doesn't take her long to copy someone, since unlike Twice who needs all the information, she just needs their blood.

Ochako is there to help with practical effects, transporting heavy equipment, and getting cool shots by making people/cameras/microphones weightless. With her quirk, directors don't need to find an actor with super strength to portray a strong character, so they can instead focus on someone who's better at acting.

Anyways they meet and fall in love working together and it's really cute and fun. Reallllly wanna write this at some point lol

Whenever I go out and actually talk to new people or decide to watch new series or films I rediscover how important romance and sex are in our society and my mind is blown once again

Comment Bingo (Original Edition)

Very simple rules: connect 5 squares in a line by completing the task in each square

Very simple goals: encourage readers to comment on fics; encourage fandom writers to KEEP WRITING

(reposted so a cleaned up version links back here rather than my main blog)

STEPS:

Download Bingo Card HERE (png) or HERE (jpg) or HERE (pdf)

Complete the tasks on the card, marking off each as you go, until you've completed 5 in a line (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal; NO double-dipping; kudos ♥️ is a free space)

POST your winning card (or list your filled squares) and tag @feedthefandomfest! Glory in your victory.

REWARD:

✨ victory badges ✨

Tag me when you earn a bingo (or double, triple, quadruple... FULL CARD bingo) and I'll reblog a shiny badge with your name on it to commemorate the win.

FAQ:

Can I comment on tumblr or only on AO3?

Either one is great! The tags are drawn from AO3, but most can be adjusted to suit tumblr as well, so I say go for it. Tumblr fics deserve love, too.

Can one comment count toward multiple squares if the fic fits more than one category?

Since the goal is for as many fics to receive comments as possible, try to comment on a different fic for each square.

Is there a time limit?

Nope! Take your time or set your own deadline, whatever works for you. This blog is still in its early experimental stage, so feedback welcome. Play around and let me know what you like and what might be added/changed—including ideas for squares on future cards!

Do I have to record progress on the actual card?

Nope! If it’s easier to keep track in a different way, that’s fine. This is all very honor system, so if you say you earned a Bingo, we’ll call it a win 🎉

Some people have been tracking not just completed tasks, but the fics they read along the way, so that when they post a bingo, they can also promote the fics/authors in a little rec list. Not required, but definitely cool to see!

Can I adjust the task in a particular square to suit my comfort level?

Of course! If you deliver something in the spirit of the task, then it’s all good. Use your best judgement in constructing a comment that will make the author smile, and you can consider it a job well done.

In general, so long as each square has produced at least one comment, you’re golden and I salute you 🫡

Happy commenting!!

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
