keelywolfe:

Summary: Dinner, finally. Things are going great. 

Notes: I feel like I’m boring people with so many updates but I can’t not post this. I love this chapter. *G*

Part of the ‘by any other name’ series

This was a delightful chapter. I feel so hard for poor Jeff >_< I too am socially awkward and curious about kissing skeletons.

Great chapter! This series is brilliant.

but like who started the idea that fanfiction writers are somehow bothered by enthusiasm for their work???? cause i see posts all the time like “do writers really want to talk with us about their fics? Do writers really want long comments? I dont want to bother them” and i just think its absolutely ridiculous????

ofc i want to talk to you about it, and would love to hear you go on about it. i took time out of my real life to write this stuff down so we could all share these characters!!! the idea that you’re bothering a fanfiction writer, a fellow nerd, is absolutely crazy

Personally I attribute at least part of this to the shift of fandom onto Tumblr platform. Because of the way Tumblr works, multiple replies and reactions can get cluttered and overwhelming really fast, so leaving replies and feedback can be awkward. I have actually seen ‘tumblr etiquette’ posts going around scolding people for adding commentary onto posts when they reblog it! Actually discouraging  people from reacting and adding their own words!  If any of this attitude spills over onto fanfic posts and reblogs, no wonder readers are shy about adding their own words to an author’s posts.

Dear fans on tumblr: 

WE, THE AUTHORS, REALLY WANT TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS. 

Idk if you’re still doing this but do you have any thoughts on Twist/Papyrus? I don’t think yiuvey done that’s ship yet. Also! Papyrus/Cash? >:3

I actually have answered Twist/Papyrus. You can find it here:

As for Papyrus/Cash….

Man. Is it weird that I’ve never considered this ship?

I’ve been holding onto this ask for a while. Trying to see if something will spark…and nothing catches. I should like it, since Cash has so much in common with Razz and I love Papyrus/Razz. But….

Huh. I guess because I know that Cash would eventually do something regrettable, something to hurt Pap. And…Pap probably wouldn’t stand up for himself. I can see this being a very unhappy ship, probably ending when Pap finally has enough. Cash would be bewildered by it all. Blindsided. Unprepared.

I. I want to like it? I want to be able to see it as happy and positive…but it just isn’t working for me.

I, uh… have some feelings about this ship. I hope you don’t mind me adding them, Kit.

I feel like Papyrus would be good for Cash—but Cash wouldn’t be good for Papyrus. (With my own characterisations, at least).

Papyrus is a positive person. He’s great to be around. He tackles Cash’s insecurities, makes him feel good about himself, comforts him, gets him to open up—which is a feat in itself; Cash is a very closed off person. He doesn’t like showing affection—it feels like a weakness.

But Papyrus is similar to Cash (and any Papyrus) in that he yearns for praise and validation. He’s just more reserved about it. Better at uplifting himself.

But being with someone like Cash—someone who isn’t very supportive or affectionate—would get to him. Cash prefers to be snarky than sincere—and although Papyrus knows he doesn’t mean it… he sometimes wonders if there’s truth to it. If Cash doesn’t actually value him as much as he values Cash.

Being with Cash is bad for him, it just takes him a while to realise it, because he tries his best to see the good in everyone—even if it’s bad for his own well-being.
