You're just a ray of sunshine, eh?

Hey and welcome! You can call me Storm. This is my
multifandom mess blog - mainly Pokémon right now. (I'm a meticulous
tagger, so you can blacklist the random shit that you don't care about. I won't
mind.) My sideblog @stormspe
is a hub of all the Pokéspe stuff that I create. Header image colored by yours truly. You can find my fics at storm_aurora on Ao3 or storm-aurora on FFN

Didn’t I deserve to be punished for my many crimes?ALT
My mouth turned dry. “Don’t punish the girl for what I did.”ALT
With one final sob, she crumpled to her knees, her face streaked with tears. She fell to her side, groaning, her voice like crumpling sandpaper. The rhinestones in her glasses still glowed, but with a faint bluish tint, as if all the warmth had been drained from them.ALT
“She was—She was trying to protect me.”ALT
She did not believe she deserved to survive.ALT
“Meg, listen to me. I’m here. I’m Apollo, god of healing. You will not die on me.”ALT
“It’s my fault,” she sang. “Your blood on my hands. The crushed rose I couldn’t save.”ALT
“Meg, a flower is only part of the plant. Flowers grow back. You have deep roots. You have strong stems.ALT
I held my breath, determined to keep as much of the darkness away from Meg for as long as I could. I would share this burden with her, even if it killed me.ALT
“I’m here.” I brushed the wet hair from her forehead. “You are not alone.”ALT
“She is precious to you,” said the Oracle. “Would you give your life in exchange for hers?”ALT
“Yes,” I found myself saying. “Yes, I would die to save Meg McCaffrey.”ALT
I cannot give up. Apollo/Meg needs me.ALT

I will die for you / I will live for you

ao3commentoftheday:

I’m just putting this out there because I’m thinking about it and because I want people to know it’s not just them.

I don’t really read fic anymore. It’s not because I stopped liking it, though. It’s because I made a rule for myself that I’m not able to follow.

I told myself that if I read a fic, I should comment on it. And not just “I loved it!” but a detailed comment. A live reaction or at least quoting favourite lines. Maybe talk about symbolism or about references I caught or about characterization etc.

I did that because I loved the authors I was reading and because I’d received so many lovely comments like that and I wanted to be able to pass that joy onto others. But then I found it hard to actually comment like that.

I could manage it sometimes? Oneshots weren’t too hard, for example, but multichaps? My rule was that I had to comment every chapter. And the kinds of comments I wanted to write, well that meant reading on my laptop because I hate typing on my phone.

Eventually, I felt so guilty when I read fic without commenting on it that I stopped reading fic altogether. Better to just not read if I wasn’t able to hold up my end of the bargain.

I shifted out of my fandom not long after that, and I haven’t found a new one that’s sparked the same interest (ie obsession), so I don’t know if I might be able to fix this habit if I ever get into a new fandom in the future. All I know is, don’t be like me.

Comment as you can and when you can, but don’t set up strict rules like I did. I can’t speak for all authors of course, but I know that personally, I’d rather you enjoy my work without commenting at all rather than make yourself feel so guilty you stop reading it altogether.
