In an experiment, two ravens had to simultaneously pull the two ends of one rope to slide a platform with two pieces of cheese into reach. If only one of them pulled, the rope would slip through the loops, leaving them with no cheese. Without any training they solved the task and cooperated successfully.

However, when one of the two birds cheated and stole the reward of its companion, the victims of such cheats immediately noticed and started defecting in further trials with the same individual.

“Such a sophisticated way of keeping your partner in check has previously only been shown in humans and chimpanzees, and is a complete novelty among birds.”

Dear fanfic readers

[wrotemyown]

Look, if you ever doubt that fanfic authors REALLY HONESTLY DO want to get comments from you if you liked their work, even if it’s just a quick “this was great!”, then consider this:

last week, for the first time in years, i finished something that I felt good about publishing, in a fandom/ship where it was bound to get some attention.  It was 800 words of introspective fluff, but it was WRITING.

I have gotten four comments on it.  Just four, that’s it.

Four comments and I feel more motivated to write than I have in probably five years.

Never ever think that your comments will be a bother, or that just saying “I loved this so much omg!!!” or incoherently keysmashing isn’t “enough” of a comment to bother leaving.

WE LOVE TO HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE OUR FIC, AND IT LEADS TO US WANTING TO WRITE MORE FOR YOU.

It’s a win-win.

Leave comments on fic you enjoy, even if you don’t think you have much to say.

I promise the author will appreciate it.

Lyrics: Indestructible - Disturbed

(Creator’s note: Not meant to glorify suicide. I think Natsu must have thought that maybe it was for the best at that time; his friends would be safe from Zeref, as well as from him, and I’ve always admired that kind of selflessness on his part.)
