Little fanfic things that make me smile:

  • When there’s a set of specific and intricate detail work and you just know the author is either drawing from life experience and knowledge, or that they spent a long time researching to get it just right.
  • A reframing of a well known metaphor or simile that makes you think of it in a new way. 
  • An original metaphor or simile that you pause and admire for a while because it’s such a sweet turn of phrase.
  • Dialogue that you can hear perfectly because the phrasing is so on point. 
  • The obvious love and care the author has for the character dynamics, plot and/or setting that shines through in every word, sentence and paragraph.

Always reblog

Remember in like 2013 it came out that Samsung smart TVs were revealed to be “always listening” and the data collected being sent to Samsung and it was an entire whole scandal about home privacy and the unethical collection and sale of marketing information.

Then the very next year the Amazon Alexa comes out and its practically sold as Your Friend The Data Collection Device, but its ok because this one has a soft human voice and is literally designed to be anthropomorphised. Who could stay mad at Alexa? “She” even has a people name!

This is so sad Samsung TV play Despacito
