weird comments are really fucking weird...

[lauren3210]

Do you guys ever get a comment where you read it and just think, what is the point of that?? I got one on one of my time travel fics, and I'm just sitting here scratching my head, going whaa?? This is what they wrote:

okay but now what youve got here is a paradox. if harry kissed draco coz of the future, then why did the original harry kiss draco? because he wouldn't have seen a future in which he immediately kissed draco because he hadn't kissed draco in his future.

Like, okay?? But did you like it or?? Do you have anything to add that isn't just pointing out the general point of a time travel fic? HOW DO I EVEN REPLY TO THIS?

People are really fucking weird sometimes, y'all.

i would say this is just someone going smart-ass on you
do as trys say: thanks for reading
and leave it.
the thing about time travel is that each time travel story creates it's paradox- starting from looper and ending in fanfic, that's the concept about it! so yeah someone read your stunning fic, could not handle how much they liked it and how amazing your writing is, and they tried to outshine you and think they succeed in their own mind, never realising how small that makes them, because in the end what others say about stuff always tells you more about the others and not about the stuff!

You're such a sweetheart, I love you <3

I eventually went with "yeah, paradoxes are weird like that, but it's all good because MAGIC! *jazz hands*"
