fanfic reader habits 

I cant wait to see more of it!

YESSS

Was pleasantly surprised to see you in this video!

here before 1k likes

Omg you need to do more videos with her!!!! You two make such good videossssss!!!!

yup

Yep!

Here 🙌

i dont read fanfics but did that on watching citrus

Yes like now

you know it 😎

All the time

the worst part is when the reprocusions of their actions come into play like ' WOW TOTALLY DIDNT SEE THAT COMING-"

Yep

Yep-

Right!? Nowadays i literally check the tv tropes fanfic rec page before finding something. Sometimes i need crack but nowadays i need a 100k long fix with my fave otp and angst

The worst part is I can't stand up to do chore even though there's really nothing to read.

same. then i ready one angst of a specific time period and now i need to read multiple that are similar- angst angst angst

I hate how the way some authors write annoys me *LIKE- CAN'T I JUST READ THEM WITHOUT PET PEEVS PLEASE*

*Me, 15 minutes and 10 specifications later:* "finally..perfection" *Fic count: 0* *Me:* "God fucking danmit."

Felt that on so many levels.

I relate to that in a way you couldn't possibly understand.

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

Yup over covid my reading habits changed to ao3 and visual novels heheh….. I have a problem

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.

For real I swear she has cameras in our houses

Yeah I feel so called out-

Same I feel so called out-

same

I do all of these things like three times a day

Accurate

We love the anti capitalism coming out

Definitely my favorite part too

FR U FEEL LIKE THERE R CCTV CAMERAS

Bro that's how I feel whenever I'm reading an explicit smutty fanfiction when I'm alone

THIS IS ME WTF

The lord: Hello!

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.

I CANT EXPRESS HOW I HAVE AT LEAST SQUEAKED OUT EACH OF THOSE NOISES 50 TIMES

Exactly l-

Y E S definitely

Reading a fanfic I like

tf is a sleep schedule

@@sunniesweetie4303 idk

Ikr, ever since Covid started I've been like. Sleep schedule? Psh who's she?

@@nd667 idk man

me who used to go to bed around 12 and now goes to bed at 7-8 bc im too busy reading a 50 chapter fanfic and sleep is irrelevant: 👁👄👁

👏Literally me👏 especially when it’s surprise smut

I couldn't read fan fiction for the longest time because that's what I'd do any time two characters I shipped even looked at each other

me who reads fanfics on a pc o_o

@@OSARF * _tosses PC_ *

me when that one character does something absolutely dumb like kissing someone who's already taken---- but like, there's also the second hand embarrassment when a character does something cute but like, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!"

Wow, I feel bad for you

Oh god this is relatable

Me after staying up reading Mafia Smut AUs and Serial Killers Shipping AUs. HaHaHa, yep that’s me, a little ray of sunshine!

Me in public: “uhm..what does that mean?” Most innocent and oblivious sunshine. Me at home, in private: “Ahahahaahaa!! They did it -“ don’t even ask.

Same

So true. I've stayed up until 1 am crying into my pillow with books a lot more than I have with fanfiction

Manhuas most def 😭😭

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

@@uncreativename4249 is it a good book? What would you recommend, I'm usually into fics

Holy shit, like, friendship goals, but hot damn! You have such good memory!!

Aw. That sounds amazing

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.

What fic was it?

As @@heavenlyark1521 asked, we want *sause.*

You didn't have to call me out like that bruh 😶😭

LITERALLY SAME DONT WORRY

Me who talks to my sister even tho throughout the whole time she is confused but tries to comfort me anyways

I am so happy my BFFs put up with me talking about fanfic even when they don't read it!

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 identify with this

same...

Me tbh

It's good to know there are many people like me

Same.

Isn’t that every video

@@boomingbob1579 Agreed

@@GINSHOTGUN basically at least every point

Yep

PFFFFFFT

STOP I have to make up a bunch of hobbies or pretend I'll still have my hobbies from middleschool 😭😭 I'm so boring without fanfiction

"what do you do in your free time?" "Read" "What do you read?" *Panics*

@@delaneykeller1389 "Books" "What books?" *"Fantasy books"*

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

And that is the real reason I draw lol

it really does

Idk because i mostly read smut but, true 🥲

It hurts so bad... 😃💀

I think it’s because after the bad ending, you read what could have been, and it hurts so much more

I super big smile!! No shame!!

Lol! I actually did this with chapters, so it had blurred pictures too. Oops!

I have mastered the "Art of Reading Smut in Public" face.

I did this and-

As someone who rarely reads anything that isn't smut you learn how to control your poker face after a few years lol

The way im super slow when it comes to school online thingy but fics oh man i be working at the speed of light coz priority 💆🏽‍♀️

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.

I've done 5 out of 6 of these.

I've done all of these...even tracked down the ones that got deleted.

I like your pfp

Me being from the Madoka Magica fandom but my friends not liking magical girls

Relatable

My problem is that my only friend is so obviously uninterested when I try to rant about anything fandom related, but the moment she starts ranting about her drama-filled love life, she fully expects me to be all ears, remember everything she's ever told me about it, and gets butt hurt when I seem the slightest bit uninterested. I'm an asexual who has never been in a relationship. Unless you're fictional, I don't care. If you want me to listen with enthusiasm for two hours, then the least you could do is enthusiastically listen to me talk about MDZS for a couple minutes. 🤣

I want to like but it’s at 666 likes

OH MY GOSH WHAT A MOOD I DO THIS SO MANY TIMES IN A WEEK

@@moirarusaw9567 OMG!!! i dowlaoded 5 viruses from reading wattpad and i still read it after i got it cleaned up XD

@@logie_bogie808 how tf did you get 5 viruses from wattpad what??

@@borktehspork dont ask me, i checked my virus scan and it said that it came from wattpad. I dont even have an acc 0-0. I was confused an my cousin was too because she own wattpad aswell . But i avoid wattpad now cuz i dont want to a virus again XD

@@logie_bogie808 I like your name lol.

I felt that to a spiritual level T-T

Me too...

Yep. My husband does too.

I accidentally squeal or snort too loud sometimes and my mum comes into my room like, 'Quiet down'. RIP me.

I thought that reading fics were for kids and I'm childish, but man was i wrong-

@@elizabethjanetugby4695 YOU'RE ALSO HERE??? 💀

Same

That’s me during class lmao

That's me always

TENDOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

@@lightdrown don't ask

fr, sometimes I get picky as hell and sometimes the cringe hits too hard

@@cursedkomodo ikr 😭

I love smut but sometimes the tags are just too hardcore 😭💀

askdjgadfu Mood

....

Damn, that hits home.

i believe this particular emotion is called Intrigue!

Next lvl: "reading fanfiction with questionable morals because you got used to it about 14 fics ago..."

This happened to me once, though I was the author so..... I apologize on behalf of all authors with discontinued stories.

That's why, if I go on a hiatus or unsure whether I'll finish the story, I'll just unpublish it until I'm ready to continue. VL

I am so sorry for ur loss 😞😢

YES!!! ID BUY THAT watch me make it-

@@honjhon816 wait, is that bbh in ur pfp?

@@cxitlyn6058 Yep!

@@honjhon816 oh ok!!! HELLO FELLOW DSMP FAN

@@cxitlyn6058 NANJA HI!!!

That hurt my nose just thinking about it

Please my lips are tortured enough-

My poor glasses-

I always read sideways... And lock the screen orientation so it doesn't flip

@@nikk-named I do that too but it eventually crushes my ear and my arm lol

I do that with books as well, the second hand embarrassment is just too much (looks at Dear Evan Hansen)

@@tav1754 IKR LIKE I WOULD DEADASS START RUNNIN LAPS AFTER THAT 😭😭

@@tav1754 Reading that book made me feel more secondhand embarrassment than all of the firsthand embarrassments I've felt my whole life.

@@tav1754 I literally couldn't finish reading it I got so twitchy 😭

NO SHIT, IT’S EVEN WORSE WITH VIDEOS/MOVIES

Same

I have yet to master this art 😅😂

I can keep a completely straight face reading fluff and angst in public but as soon as it gets remotely spicy I laugh from the internal panic

i can be quiet but my face can't 😅

I almost spit my drink, because it's accurate.

Not gonna lie that took me a bit to figure out too

Lmao

I actually don't get it... pls anyone tell me?

@@paup1608 Most marriages fail and the couple's commitment to each other doesn't last, but her commitment to fanfic will compared to theirs

the perfect way to get over a bawl fest by reading angsty fics is reading more angsty fics

Same!

This is so accurate helpppp

680k words babyyy~

Dont forget the get emotionlly invested in a discontinued fic.

AND THEY ARE ALL EMPTY!!!

I don’t know how I accomplished it but I did... I was scared for my life if I got caught

The key is to keep a straight face the whole time

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)

@@gabrielabatista6016 I FEEL THIS SO MUCH

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?"

It’s not just you

Yes me too, it feels really weird 😭🔫

I love it, though.

jajaja, I do that...so yeah, is not weird for me 😂😥

@@11hinxd So weird that you sprayed yourself in the face with a Super Soaker? 🤔

:0 same as well as when one character is being all angsty I go "yo character B, character A needs you! now go be a good spouse and comfort them"

@@melanietadlock2423 omg yes!!!

“Vsco demon” 🤣

I do that too! I’m not alone! Yay!

*KSKSKKSKSKSKSKSKKSKSKKKSKSKSSKS-*

*(cough cough)* 😳

Well spoken young lady

Ever heard of Miraculous Ladybug?

@@mari-vikiuribe6773 Noooo, you did not LOL

@@aesubar7835 yes I did😈

fanfic writers are the best writers because they make you cry, rage, fall in love, giggle like crazy in a span of seconds

True

Yeah!

As both a reader and writer, I feel so honoured by your comment. 🥺🥺

At this point... I don't even own and real novels anymore.

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

I printed one to read in school *just in case*

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-

Respect

Noice, you can just claim that it’s a book

same

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

I ship stucky and I've never seen the Captain America movies, just the clips 😶

This is me with my hero academia 🤣🤣🤣

omg she hearted my comment??? ma'am i am honored.

It's 2am and everyone is asleep so you're vibrating with emotion and screaming into your pillow like a dying animal.

@@ezio_auditore_da_firenze7407 yes

that is a friend for *life*

😀 Excuse 😀 me? 😀 I 😀 want 😀 a 😀 friend 😀 like 😀 that 😀 so 😀 damn 😀 badly 😀

damn, none of my friends know i even read fanfics or read smut 😔 damn i wish i had a friend like that

I am envious

I’m so jealous!!!

Because we crave stuff that we don’t have

I found a fanfic I like and I'm not sure if it is a smut or an angst

@@raisin2042 ok

Well ok

@@silly_.rabbit2 don’t be shy, read and find out. Then give the link.

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

Only 11 months. My poor child it is only the beginning...

for me it was 5 to 6 years

What the hell is a sleep schedule

Never heard of her

Yo gundham you ok

*pathetic I've read 100,000 words in 1 hour you mortals don't comprehend my power*

*I read a 1,000,000 word fanfic the other week in one day and I don’t know what life has come to*

@@Die_Hard_Historian you are clearly superior *takes off crown*

@@loeliaa *Puts on crown* Just you wait, there’s gonna be someone that’s absolutely addicted to fanficton and they’ll beat all 3 of us

*Only the Avatar, master of all the major fanfic websites with countless hours can beat us*

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

"major character death"

@@zainabasif8665 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 was like, holy shit I've read most of them already

I went back and did it once I saw ur comment

Don’t forget the Galaxy Is Endless-

Same

Lol

Ah yes, those were painful days

Yup same and 5:58 didn't help with that

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

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

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

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

@Hopeless Fangirl Ikr!

WHILE WRITING I DO THIS I KEEP GLEEFULLY GIGGLING

Same

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

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 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

-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 😔

i only started giving a s**t about spider man due to the spider verse movies

Yasss

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 :)

they even hummed barbara's song ahidiohwaiuhdwuih

Bro, that is me and the RWBY and Harry Potter fandoms. I'm actually writing two RWBY fanfics and I've not watched a single volume 💀 My readers leave reviews congratulating my characterization of the characters and I can only laugh 😭😂.
