We need a name for the shock-trauma that comes from reading a long fic, chapter after chapter, barely pausing to eat let alone pay attention to what chapter you’re on, and then scrolling down to click a button that isn’t there. There needs to be a word for the way all of the emotions you’ve been carrying that were hurtling forward with you as you read non stop, suddenly crash into a wall around you. There needs to be a word for the way you’re abruptly unbalanced and lost. There needs to be a word for how you futilely attempt to refresh the page, even though you know the next chapter won’t appear.
genuinely enjoying and being okay with watching someone play video games rather than playing it yourself is younger sibling culture.
Whole heartily agree
Also am I the only one who would hand the game to my older sibling when I would get stumped by a puzzle or a boss and trying was no longer fun. I would have them do the level so I could continue the game.
