Things you wish you weren't critical about

[(Anonymous)]

Pet peeves you want to get over

Fanart. Deep down I know it's mostly amateurs doing it for fun, results be damned, but I've spent so much time getting good I can't enjoy anything less than professional even though my own skills aren't quite there.

Law and court stuff in general. I really would love to be able to watch more shows about lawyers/the court system. But every single time (I think Judging Amy may be the only exception, and that one was super accurate) I end up finding something to get annoyed about.

Have you tried any non-U.S. law shows?

Re: Things you wish you weren't critical about

[philstar22]

I think the only one I've tried is Law and Order: UK and I didn't love it. Do you have any recs?

Jumping in to rec some Australian ones: Crownies, Janet King (a spin-off with a character from Crownies), Rake, Newton's Law (which I haven't seen but my friend liked).

They're dramatised and they are more about the personal lives of the characters than the L&O procedural episode format. If you don't have patience with self-destructive and ridiculous main characters, Cleaver (Rake) will probably not be your cup of tea, but it is sometimes very tongue in cheek about our stupider laws and courtroom rules - apparently there's a US version now? But I probably wouldn't watch it because I can't see him played by anyone but Richard.

Janet is my fave because she's a boss (and she's gay!) and she generally has no time for other people's shit.

Fanfic. At this point I can only read my own.

I've mentioned this before, but spelling.

I do try to never judge people based on how they spell but it's very hard for me to read anything with spelling errors. I keep noticing them and getting frustrated. It shouldn't matter if I can understand the content but it still gets on my nerves.

Same. I leave it alone unless I'm in a situation where that kind of input is asked for or needed, mind, but yeah, I can't help biting my tongue regardless.

Re: Things you wish you weren't critical about

Things like leaving the cupboard doors open or my dad leaving his socks on the floor. Like would be easier if I could just roll with it.

Re: Things you wish you weren't critical about

Mostly grammar and spelling issues. Errors, but also certain phrases that, if you think about them, make no actual sense, but they're common sayings. (And of course, there aren't any specific examples I can think of right now.)

Re: Things you wish you weren't critical about

[dani_phantasma]

I feel bad about unconciously internalizing some attitudes about the 'right way' to do fandom and fanfic from early on in fandom, things like being judgey of traits that ultimatley weren't that big a deal.

I always keep my mouth shut on them of course. I just wish I could not have them, because the idea of judging some kid for having fun, especially if they were like me and used fandom as escapism for problems irl, makes me wanna curl up and die.

People eating at their desk in an open office. Usually I just plug in headphones.

Re: Things you wish you weren't critical about

[syncing_feeling]

Ugh. I hate eating in public (save the occasional restaurant) and I don't like watching/hearing people eat, if that makes sense. Like some customers at my work will be paying me at the counter with one hand and noisily wolfing down a pasty with the other and getting crumbs everywhere and, just, why.
