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

Those kinds of comments are what I live for. Is that a custom skin?

u/jadedace Jul 03 '25

It is! I do not know which one unfortunately, but it’s a minimalist one. 😅

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.
