I can not tell you how many times I have uncontrollably snorted in a dead silent, completely full, break room, just because something funny caught me by surprise.
Mom: You’re such an innocent teenager. I’m glad you’re not like the others with their dirty language and stuff Me who just pulled an all nighter reading smut: *nervous chuckle* Thanks
SAME omg I am so glad I don’t have a roommate Bc she’d probably be weirded out by how much I literally conversate with myself about a fic 😭 this is a tragedy
I've told my darkest secrets to my therapist, but I'll never tell her that when I say that "I love to read" it actually means spending 6 hours on ao3 in my bed, crying over the death of a fictional character.
literally me to my psychologist. He knows everything but my fanfiction addiction disguised as "loves to read". Two years and do not plan to reveal that lol
We are very different people then, because I dove right into telling my therapist the details of fanfics and their importance to society. Told him about Arthurian legend and how its all pretty much fanfic, how some major films have been fanfics, *cough* fifty shades *cough*, and then I told him my theory on how Hollywood has been hiring fic authors to write their scripts.
My mom: shows me this video* *DONT EVER BE LIKE THIS OKAY?* me: deletes history, logs off every fanfic websites im linked to, hides all my body pillows, rips off every poster i have, takes a bath in holy water, read bible. also me: opens up wattpad 30 minutes later.

That plot twist gasp, I accidentally did in the middle of lunch while reading Kiss Of Deception. I also may or may not have cried over books during lunch as well. My friends were concerned
“Dragging your normie friends into fanfiction” one of my favourite fanfic-related memories is the time I at summer camp I started telling my friend about a fic I had read and long story short I ended up reciting an entire 159k word avengers fanfic from memory (no wifi or electronics at the camp) to a fairly large group of girls who had never read fanfic in their life. They would come up to me at breaks or meal times and ask me to tell “the story” and basically I love my friends so much
I wish I had words to describe how much I enjoyed reading this comment. Thank you for sharing! And hope your memory is still as amazing today as it was then, because dang.
I, as a fanfic reader, have only four moods: • Smut • Fluff • Au time and, • Get emotionally invested in a 45 chapter fic only to hurt at the end because I haven't learned from my past mistakes? Yes please.
I have written all the links of each story on my mobile so that when I have internet I can read the full page again as soon as possible see it when you are on the bus without internet and every house you pass by you have internet i had almost asked the bus driver to stay there so that the page could load completely
Y'all have some courage to print those fics- I literally just screenshot them, then read them while in the car or bus, and hide it from people by compiling it in a folder or something-
I am so proud to announce that I have mastered the art of staying in silence while reading a fanfic... So silent, you can only hear my internal screaming
PLEASE I used to like YA novels and I labelled it as a hobby but now I'm only invested with fanfic and yesterday my cousin asked me if I still like to read and I'm like yeah and then she asked what kind of book/genre I like to read and I'm like dead for 3 seconds before finally answering like ".........uhm fiction novels?" I DONNO WHAT TO SAY
I talk to myself on a regular basis because of how boring everyone is, nobody around me understands the true art of fanfics and how much joy they bring into someone's life
skills you learn from reading fanfiction: •looking at the clock and thinking “hey it’s only 1:30 am!” •throwing your phone in a way that releases anger but doesn’t harm the phone •holding a phone with your toes while multitasking •the craft of phrasing your searches to find the maximum amount of fics from a small fandom/finding good fics in a huge fandom •how to track down a fic or an author for *hours* •the ability to find a fic in 50 tabs
Oh yeah the throwing thing, it's an amazing skill to have. But considering my phone has fallen down to stones and leave with only scratches I think it's just immortal.
The primary reason why I learned english, which I mostly learned THROUGH fanfics, was to find fanfics about my ships, which includes smut ones. The advantage of speaking a language that no one else in your family does is reading the dirtiest smut around them with the peace of mind they won't discover jackshit. (Also, just for y'all's amusement, while typing this I wrote "learned language", so I'll go to sleep now because it's almost 6 am)
Reading in a classroom full of other students raises the risk. Any moment someone could just look over from behind and "what the fvck are you reading?"
I found a friend at my school who reads fics from the same fandoms that I do, and it has become our morning ritual to arrive at school early and talk to each other about fics we've read.
Reading fanfics in public really got me. Especially you have to make your face stoic when you read something really "spicy" and hiding your phone from people near you.
Sometimes I don't even read the source material after reading the fics, I somehow connected the dots on what's happening in the source material from fics
Me with several anime and television shows 🤡 I still haven’t (and will probably never) watch KHR (Katekyo Hitman Reborn) or BNHA/MHA lmao. Haven’t watched a full episode of either or read the mangas
The noises one hit me too hard. One time after a big twist at the end of a chapter I screamed so loudly I scared my family and then I ran from the computer even though there was a vague tag that would've told me something like that would happen. :3
@@enajem one time I was reading some soft family dynamic stuff and so I clicked on one that looked nice w/o reading the tags..... i still wasn’t ok 7 fics later
I always read the tags and no matter how accurate they describe what is going to happen, I always make those noises (or sometimes I simply die) when the big "Oh my..."-moment arrives.
“getting into fics... before the source material” ...so I’m not the only one who does this? Sometimes these shows/books are so hyped up that you get into them without even watching/reading them or the ships are interesting but definitely not really relevant in canon so you just read fanfic about them instead.
"You're an adult, stop crying, get it together!" Never vibed with a phrase more in my life. Edit: nevermind, I got to the "why do I even try to be a functioning member of society" part.
@@quinngobrr well it’s a fic of the show the owl house, basically this really powerful with called Amity is having a temper tantrum and accidentally kills another character Luz. Luz has to forgive amity for killing her before she can go to heaven. I don’t wanna spoil it but that’s the basics of it, I really recommend it because its very well written and only 13k words long I believe? Also it’s gay so why wouldn’t you wanna read it
“The noises” Once, I let out this chirp like sound, and I have no idea where it came from or how to do it again. Y’know when your smoke detector is out of battery so it beeps really high pitched? Basically that.
I'm one of those friends who was dragged into fanfiction. One of my friends was really into it and I never saw the point of it. One day I decided to read a fanfic and after reading 7 complete fanfics in a row, I realised I was addicted. Now Fanfic is all I read and the books on my shelf gather dust, judging me every day.
Lmao same I never really cared about it and started because one of my friends was writing fanfiction and I liked it and decided to see what other people made. A huge mistake, really, it's all I read now lol
Especially when I randomly try to cope with the fact that the only person I've truly been able to relate to doesn't even exist so I yearn for that ideal relationship nevertheless knowing full well that it's an unhealthy coping mechanism
I feel like I’m about to be heavily called out but I’m so prepared for it, let’s do this >:) Edit: Yep I was most definitely call out but not disappointed what so ever. 10/10 would watch again
I still can't believe we are now talking about fanfics, yaoi, BL shows and all that things OPENLY like this. I certainly did not imagine this when reading from LiveJournal back in the day,
I totally relate to reading in public, especially if it’s a fluff. I’m just sitting there, trying not to smile or squeal when something adorable happens, so no one looks at me. 👀
i was just sitting here, minding my own business, feeling called out, and then for the first time it hit me that maybe... juuust maybe... my fanfics keep people up at night too...? like, it could have happened. maybe even several times. somehow i never considered that before, and it makes me feel some kinda way
I was just thinking that I apparently cause people to have complete meltdowns reading my fics 😅 I've certainly seen comments about causing someone to cry. And I always have happy endings, just with plenty of angst before that
**Laughs in family is hispanic as well as country so doesn't need to hide the fanfics when reading in public because only reads english** That was long-
-cries in hispanic family and friends that are fluent in english so does need to hide the fics- fuera de joda, tengo ganas de aprender chino solo para leer fics en publico 😔
*in public reading some saucy fanfic material* Innocent bystander: Do you have a phonecharger? Me: *frantically closes 10 tabs of smut on AO3* I’m dying 😭
Saaame! I got into Marvel by reading Clintasha fanfiction, and now I understand why I still haven't gotten over the utter betrayal I felt in both AoU and Endgame! I'm still so salty LMAO!
My ritual is to turn on my sad music playlist, grab my earbuds, turn every light off in my room turn the air conditioning up and then put a blanket over my head, oh and don't forget the energy drinks and not sleeping with a tasteful side of 'my outfit depends on the types of fics I'm in the mood for'
Nope. The key is either befriending other people that read fanfics, or getting your friends into fanfics. I did the first, and I'm in the process of attempting the second, already got him to check AO3 and learn the basics of the filter system =D wish me luck!
dude. i’ve literally never seen a single episode of one of my favorite fandoms. i literally read so much of the fanfics for it that i know literally everything about the show without ever having seen it. this is hell.
"recovering from fanfics" I freaking felt this one because some of them are so freaking beautiful that you freaking cry tears! I remember one fanfic, long and beautiful where the main couple (and my OTP) had grown old together and the last scene had the grandkids gathered around the remaining partner in bed about to pass on to finally be with the other one who had died and I thank God that I live with no one and so no one could see me or hear me bawl my heart out. I love that they grew old together but it still hurts you know.

The noises one hit me too hard. One time after a big twist at the end of a chapter I screamed so loudly I scared my family and then I ran from the computer even though there was a vague tag that would've told me something like that would happen. :3
"major character death"
@@nainabowo Oh god the pain--
@@enajem one time I was reading some soft family dynamic stuff and so I clicked on one that looked nice w/o reading the tags.....
i still wasn’t ok 7 fics later
I was reading a fanfict and I did a very loud squeal and scared my little sister. I feel like I'm being called out by the noise as well.
I always read the tags and no matter how accurate they describe what is going to happen, I always make those noises (or sometimes I simply die) when the big "Oh my..."-moment arrives.
I’m reading a 90,000 fic and I’m on the last chapter.

"find a fluff, finD a Fluff, FinD a FluFF, FIND A FLUFF!"
Yeah i had to do that a few times...
“getting into fics... before the source material”
...so I’m not the only one who does this? Sometimes these shows/books are so hyped up that you get into them without even watching/reading them or the ships are interesting but definitely not really relevant in canon so you just read fanfic about them instead.
YESSSSS
THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING ABOUT ME
Omg I thought I was weird and the only one who did that-
This is how I got into Rizzoli and Isles
This is how I got into haikyuu and deh

Never vibed with a phrase more in my life.

"Recovering from fanfics"
In another life flashbacks
Don’t forget the Galaxy Is Endless-

Lol
Ah yes, those were painful days
Yup same and 5:58 didn't help with that
When you can't find a decent fic to help fill the gaping hole the amazing fanfic you just finished left
The fandom queen and the hairstyle queen have come together, my hair and my fanfictions are going to be fabulous
Fanfic readers:
-reading fanfic
-opens yt to put on background music
-sees a new Coley video
-enjoys
-back to fanfic
YES Being picky is absolutely me to the point that sometimes there's no fiction for the tags I want and that upsets me to no end.
When you're so picky the zero results pull up.... .-.
@@cussundriakneal9904 Fr tho😭
Nothing wrong with being picky. I'm super picky. But since I write myself and post almost daily, I'm good
I'm the opposite but just because I've read literally everything. I don't recommend doing what I do
I'm both a reader and writer, but I can tell you when reading the noises one is so accurate I can't _even-_
@Hopeless Fangirl Ikr!
WHILE WRITING I DO THIS I KEEP GLEEFULLY GIGGLING
“Recovering from fanfics”
*Ghost Of You flash backs*
please elaborate i crave the angst and i must know if it is time to crawl out of my drarry pit and try something different-
@@quinngobrr well it’s a fic of the show the owl house, basically this really powerful with called Amity is having a temper tantrum and accidentally kills another character Luz. Luz has to forgive amity for killing her before she can go to heaven. I don’t wanna spoil it but that’s the basics of it, I really recommend it because its very well written and only 13k words long I believe? Also it’s gay so why wouldn’t you wanna read it
@@rusttytoasttz the thing is how angsty is it? Because I am *starving* for some good angst material.
THAT SHIT HURTED
NOOOOOOO TWT
“I literally just joined the fanbase”
Lol that was me with The Owl House after hearing how ✨🏳️🌈*gay*🏳️🌈✨™️ Amity was-
That perfectly sums up me joining the fandom almost 4 weeks ago.
Honestly yeah
*Me who watched Owl House because of Gravity Falls:*
Amity certainly is gae lol
@@whinkx AYE SAME HERE
"YOU'RE AN ADULT, STOP CRYING, GET IT TOGETHER!"
THAT PART IS SO ACCURATE GOD DAMMIT LMAODJSHSJSB
Coley's content makes me feel like I'm not the only totally insane one when it comes to fandoms and fan-girling
“The noises”
Once, I let out this chirp like sound, and I have no idea where it came from or how to do it again. Y’know when your smoke detector is out of battery so it beeps really high pitched? Basically that.
Literally the most relatable part of the video. I've scared family and bf like that
Damn. I only let out the occasional snorts, squeals, laughs, higher-pitched squeals but... n-not like that.
I agree with the above comments
Same
bruh i thought i was like the only one that does that lol that was the most relatable part of the video beside f-ing up your sleep schedule
The “getting into fics before the source material” happens to me ALL THE TIMEEEE
Same
I'm one of those friends who was dragged into fanfiction. One of my friends was really into it and I never saw the point of it. One day I decided to read a fanfic and after reading 7 complete fanfics in a row, I realised I was addicted. Now Fanfic is all I read and the books on my shelf gather dust, judging me every day.
Lmao same I never really cared about it and started because one of my friends was writing fanfiction and I liked it and decided to see what other people made. A huge mistake, really, it's all I read now lol
“I’m gonna read so much smut”
*that’s a mood*
Same
Especially when I randomly try to cope with the fact that the only person I've truly been able to relate to doesn't even exist so I yearn for that ideal relationship nevertheless knowing full well that it's an unhealthy coping mechanism
Can relate

I feel like I’m about to be heavily called out but I’m so prepared for it, let’s do this >:)
Edit: Yep I was most definitely call out but not disappointed what so ever. 10/10 would watch again
Do you know someone on wattpad with the name khameraa? Because you both have the same pfp lol.
@@cinnie_bun nope, I just kinda got this image off of google and made it my pfp lol
I love how Coley has a calculator and Mei uses an actual phone.
The “why do I even TRY to be a functioning member of society” hit perfectly
The fact that so many of these are true for me, genuinely scares me.
Comments: 10
Me: Can I see them?
RUclips: NOPE.
😂😂😂👏👏👏
RUclips! The house is on fire!!!
LOL. there are apparently only 10 veiws yet the comments and likes are in the hundreds.
Me going to bed at 9PM, reading a 800k+ fic until 6AM: what is sleep anyway
I still can't believe we are now talking about fanfics, yaoi, BL shows and all that things OPENLY like this.
I certainly did not imagine this when reading from LiveJournal back in the day,
I totally relate to reading in public, especially if it’s a fluff. I’m just sitting there, trying not to smile or squeal when something adorable happens, so no one looks at me. 👀
Alternative title: calling out your fanbase for 8 minutes straight
i was just sitting here, minding my own business, feeling called out, and then for the first time it hit me that maybe... juuust maybe... my fanfics keep people up at night too...? like, it could have happened. maybe even several times. somehow i never considered that before, and it makes me feel some kinda way
I was just thinking that I apparently cause people to have complete meltdowns reading my fics 😅 I've certainly seen comments about causing someone to cry. And I always have happy endings, just with plenty of angst before that
Oh my god... that just hit me like a ton of bricks as a fanfic writer
**Laughs in family is hispanic as well as country so doesn't need to hide the fanfics when reading in public because only reads english**
That was long-
-cries in hispanic family and friends that are fluent in english so does need to hide the fics-
fuera de joda, tengo ganas de aprender chino solo para leer fics en publico 😔

O cuando estas leyendo una fic en español y la tienes que esconder porque si le van a entender 😭
Just by looking at the title and the fact that I’m 39 seconds into the video, I know for a FACT that I’m gonna get called out here.
*nervous sweating*
"Sleep schedule," What is that, never heard of it.
*in public reading some saucy fanfic material*
Innocent bystander: Do you have a phonecharger?
Me: *frantically closes 10 tabs of smut on AO3*
I’m dying 😭
I got into the Marvel fandom thanks to fanfics and my parents. My mom was frightened by the intensity of my hyperfixation at first.
Saaame! I got into Marvel by reading Clintasha fanfiction, and now I understand why I still haven't gotten over the utter betrayal I felt in both AoU and Endgame! I'm still so salty LMAO!
i only started giving a s**t about spider man due to the spider verse movies
One of the frantically closed tabs was “A geo archons guide...”
That obsession is going well, it seems!
Yep!
anyone else noticed she was singing Barbara's tune? (Genshin Impact)
Yeah
My ritual is to turn on my sad music playlist, grab my earbuds, turn every light off in my room turn the air conditioning up and then put a blanket over my head, oh and don't forget the energy drinks and not sleeping with a tasteful side of 'my outfit depends on the types of fics I'm in the mood for'
I have never *EVER* felt so attacked in my life.
The recovering from fanfics is me after reading “In Another Life” and “the Galaxy is Endless”
Same
Don't even mention either of those, I'm still broken ;-;
@@elliot_the_simpleton same
Twist and a shout
Same and 5:58 did not help the flashbacks
confession time: whenever i’m upset or in a bad mood, i go back to a HIGH QUALITY fan fic and read my favourite part and i actually feel much better-
I retreat to pure (but well written) fluff and mmh it just hits right
@@tticusFinch fluff and mild smut is my way to go. basically anything romantic will make me feel better :)
Wait.....
You can have fan-fiction friends?...
*Is this a fanfic right now?-*
Nope. The key is either befriending other people that read fanfics, or getting your friends into fanfics. I did the first, and I'm in the process of attempting the second, already got him to check AO3 and learn the basics of the filter system =D wish me luck!
I did not ask for this call out today- and I totally haven’t been binging fics since midday yesterday-
This might just be me but the random bouts of touch starvation from hurt/comfort
OMG YES
dude. i’ve literally never seen a single episode of one of my favorite fandoms. i literally read so much of the fanfics for it that i know literally everything about the show without ever having seen it. this is hell.
"recovering from fanfics"
I freaking felt this one because some of them are so freaking beautiful that you freaking cry tears! I remember one fanfic, long and beautiful where the main couple (and my OTP) had grown old together and the last scene had the grandkids gathered around the remaining partner in bed about to pass on to finally be with the other one who had died and I thank God that I live with no one and so no one could see me or hear me bawl my heart out.
I love that they grew old together but it still hurts you know.
