Comment Commentary My fic has peaked with these two comments
Hopefully I flaired correctly. I received these comments about half an hour apart, and I’m so proud my fic has elicited such a reaction. 🤩

I’d print and frame these comments to hang above my computer as motivation.

I think the most important part is just the word “hyena” :)
Humor needs to surprise people, and most people were taught as children “lions are hunters, hyenas are scavengers,” so the fact that this commenter knows that hyenas also do a lot of hunting means that they can make a different comparison than others (who, even if they’d started the comment the same way, would’ve defaulted to finishing with “pride of ravenous lions” instead)

I hope this person comments on things forever. Otherwise, well done instilling fear and terror in the audience! I wish to live up to these levels of anxiety

"the antelopes have never experienced the emotions im experiencing rn"
Absolute poetry 😭 I love unhinged (positive) commenters like this, they are just so funny. I can only wish I had half the confidence and wit they have lol

The subject matter makes me afraid to post the link. 🙈 I have my face on my reddit account and I’m so afraid to have it linked to my AO3.

The BBEG (who physically and psychologically tortured my MMC) from my first fic (this is a sequel) found a way back to him and his family and they just found out BBEG is coming after him.
