i just realized that the first fic i ever read was an 'all the sans AU's x reader' and younger me read that and was like 'this is great, amazing, spectacular' and now here i am.
5:36 SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK Istg I've found so many x reader but then the note said (oh it's actually an oc of line named Jamaica but this can also be an x reader) Like no. Ion want Jamaica to be railed by a character is simp for idk who even is Jamaica
7:21 it took me a bit but I think I finally found a fic that's literally all I wanted from a particular fandom. It's grammar is a bit questionable but I can easily handle it. All thanks to this method.
(this comment is acting as a bookmark for my favourites out of these lol) 3:47 literally me 😂 i read the best fanfiction really late at night and then read it again the next morning just to make sure it was real. i cant have one original experience lol 5:41 me again. my point still stands, i cant have one original experience 😂
4:50 Here's the thing. I dont know if its just me,but I literally can't read anything else besides one specific ship. I've been reading fics with only the same ship for years and years now(since I was like 13 I think, im 20 now)and im unable to read anything else. Whenever I tried to switch it up with another ship and maybe another fandom I get bored so easily. So yeah idk if this is just me😔 And to elaborate more, nothing else interests me.The ship itself is one I've loved for years now the moment I joined that fandom,I've never gotten tired of it and the fics themselves are just GOD tier(on ao3 ofc).
6:28 are you telling me people actually write Bible fanfiction? Is nothing sacred? Just when I thought nothing could shock me anymore, I find out about Trump and Bible porn. Eww! Huh, I still have fanfiction lines I won't cross... Good to know. Lol

Leaving a comment to remind myself of the tip at 7:21. That person looked like they were on the verge of a breakdown filming that TikTok, but I'm grateful for their knowledge. I have used the tip a couple of times now and found some truly fascinating stuff! Wishing them the best
Perfection to disaster: 1. you find a promising gay fanfic 2. t’s generally quite good with barely any grammar mistakes 3. you start to love it 4. You realise it hasn’t been updated in 5 years almost 6 😭✌🏻
03:52 one time I was curious about a fic and I read it let’s just say it changed how I saw a character in the fandom(the character in canon didn’t resemble the one in the fic) butttt it still changed me ….
4:31 this happened with me, i was so sure that the character i was talking about was 24 only to realise he was 22, and the 24 thing had just stuck with me because of a fanfic i read of them
Not me currently reading a fic where one half of the couple is a result of an experiment and can only eat human flesh and consensually eats the other half because they can't feel pain and can regenerate...

2:08 that except you find those three people that write all the white collar Batfam crossovers on ao3 6:40 why do I know that killing god as a family bonding activity is a supernatural fic (I know exactly why I know)
7:51 I did this, and literally nearly all the fics on that page we’re by the same author. One that I have read from before and looked Into their profile. It was just like 10-15 fics in a row by the same author and now I don’t know which one to choose lmao
7:21 LMFAO I FOUND A FIC I BOOKMARKED BUT FORGOT ABOUT BECAUSE IT TOOK LIKE 8 MONTHS FOR IT TO FINALLY UPDATE AND THEN FINISH,, it was nice though-emotional and uh. i guess i can let the egg laying..slide..
this is really late lol but its based of this clip of a bag labeled dead dove dont eat and a guy picks it up and checks for the dead dove its basically just to say uve been warned if u read it its on u
i did what 7:21 said and i found a ghost roomate fanfic of my otp that almost made me cry (i dont cry like ever. im not just saying that its been months)
BRO I WAS READING AN AWESOME FANFICTION AND A CHARACTER REVEALS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN POSESSED IN THE PAST AND THEN THE FANFICTION LITERALLY JUST ENDED
When you read fanfics on a daily basis and have never read smut bc you have no interest in it bc you only love the hurt no comfort, and angst that is so depressing it's gone leave me crying for the next three days about how our main characters found family literally dies in front of his eyes and the last thing that the last one alive says is "run": 👁💧👄💧👁
I am guilty of having over a hundred tabs open for ao3. But in my defense earlier today i actually tried to sort them into collections but i went to male the first question and it asked so many questions i just abandoned it. on a side not the cannibalism one at the end threw me for a loop.
NO BUT I TRIED THE ONE ABOUT FINDING THE BEST FIC IN A FANDOM BUT SEARCHED SPECIFICALLY BY 1 SHIP AND WENT TO PAGE 5 AND FOUND A TON OF CHRISTMAS FICS AND ONE THAT WAS "The unforgivable sin of liking Mariah Carey's all I want for Christmas" SO I THINK I FOUND IT
The whole ‘Is it canon? Is it not?’ Thing just hits different when you wrote a 2000 word essay about Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice being a Lord and how that makes him more appealing to those looking for a husband, only to be called out during class by the teacher saying ‘Mr Darcy wasn’t a Lord, he only owned property and was a successful businessman’. 🤦
2:40 only 19? Gurl, I got 3 different browsers with 40 tabs on each. I'm not joking. Chrome, Samsung internet, ecosia. Some of these fics I will never finish reading because I get distracted by another idea of a fic and see if it's there, (usually it is) and start reading that. Or just dives through specific tags Edit: I now have more than 100 on 2 browsers, and 20 and the 3rd one.
SAME I WILL BE READING A FIC AND THEN BE LIKE ‘oh hey I wonder if ___ is a thing?’ AND THEN IT IS. AND THERES SO MUCH AND I GET DISTRACTED FROM THE OG FIC FOR LIKE 5 MONTHS

killing God as a family bonding activity
pretty sure I've read that pretty sure it's supernatural
just looked it up it was supernatural
Who saw that one coming Lmaooo
yeah i knew exactly what that one was
Yep knew it the second I saw it
I know it’s supernatural I know it sounds familiar but I don’t know which exact one it is
