Vaguely recalling from TV Tropes: I thought this series used the line “Was bisexual. Now monogamous.” Was that referring to this same character who died and then was revealed as polyamorous?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think she's a good actor and tend to avoid any movies she's in. I saw Wonder Woman against my instincts because people said it was good. They should have said it was good for a DC movie, and they would have been more correct.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I liked the WW movie, but it wasn't a great movie, no. It was just good for DC, which was a very low bar. But I think the fact that it was the best of the DC movies AND people loved that a female superhero movie was successful led to over-hyping it big time.

[(Anonymous)]

And that line kind of makes me side-eye a bit because... Aral's still bi even if he's married to a woman. It's also harder to retcon the whole "he was bi and poly all along!" when Cordelia clearly states he's in a monogamous relationship with her. That's why I think the author should've either committed fully to the whole poly thing or just left it out.

I feel a little ungrateful for this, but...

[(Anonymous)]

...there's someone going through my fic and commenting with a heart, and nothing else. They appear to be doing the same thing with other fics in the fandom.

Now, I appreciate receiving comments, of course. But lately there's been a new round of that old-time Commenting Discourse going around (I'm sure you've seen it at some point or another: there's a very strident school of thought holding that writers are, well, sort of owed comments. Any sort of comment will do, as it's the fact of receiving a comment that matters, rather than its content), and I can't help but feel like that's behind what this person is doing. It doesn't come across as if they're genuinely feeling moved to comment; they just feel as though it's what they're "supposed" to do.

My feelings about this are very odd. I would rather someone comment because they have something to say, not because they feel obligated to do so. A "kudos" serves perfectly well if you merely want to "heart" something I've written; that is, after all, what they're there for. At the same time, I'm flattered that someone has read multiple fics of mine in quick succession, and am grateful that they've liked them all.

What are your thoughts on this? What are your feelings on comments in general? What sort do you prefer to receive?

Re: I feel a little ungrateful for this, but...

I would be ecstatic for any positive comment, even such a simple one. But I get very close to zero engagement as it is, maybe a kudos twice a year, so my perspective might be different.

Re: I feel a little ungrateful for this, but...

[(Anonymous)]

I genuinely don't care what kind of comments I receive, not hate-ones though obvs(which I've only had happen twice thankfully), be it longer ones, short 'I liked it', even emotes like this person is doing because they still decided to take the time to leave a message. Hell one my favorite comments I got was just a string of emojis that I replied to with my own string of emojis and I was nothing but delighted with that, it was different and fun.

But I'm someone who can find longer-comments to be a bit anxiety-inducing. I have a set 'thank you' response to most comments I get and I like the safety of that I suppose? That I have my set script, so when I get something in-depth I can struggle a bit to find a way of responding to the comment. That doesn't mean I don't like long comments, just that I find it much harder to reply to them and I tend to overthink my response.

But yeah, I'd be perfectly happy with a comment like this because I'd find it cute and fun.

[(Anonymous)]

She's not a good actor at all imo, but she is absolutely gorgeous so I might put it on in the background while I'm doing something else and only pay attention when she's on-screen. I've done that before and had fun like that with bad movies.

[(Anonymous)]

These are most upsetting to look at.

What are some of the ugliest character designs you have seen in media?

Re: I feel a little ungrateful for this, but...

AYRT

I think I'd find it cute and fun if it didn't feel so much like they're doing it because they think they have to rather than because they want to, if that makes sense. All I can think about is their potential anxiety, e.g. "I'm a bad and ungrateful reader if I don't comment" (which I've seen some people say is how they feel).

I will never understand RTD fans.
