there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed

DO YOU ever just. Think about Halsin. Halsin, "I outgrew cynicism around the age of 200" Silverbough. Halsin, who constantly encourages you not to give in to despair, especially when others need you.

THAT Halsin, who himself becomes so overwhelmed with pain and helplessness when he sees the pain others experience in Baldur's Gate that he considers that the Shadow Druids might have a point, and needs you to remind him he's better than that.

THAT Halsin, who, in the deleted morphic pool scenes where each character would have been tormented by the brain, would have been shown a vision of himself saying everything was hopeless and meaningless and it would have been better to let it all burn.

THAT Halsin. The Halsin who is so kind and cares so much for others that being unable to help their pain makes him nearly surrender to despair himself, even after fighting so hard to overcome it. The Halsin who just wants to help and protect others, especially children. The Halsin who, if he dies to Orin, says his purpose was to help his friends as they'd helped him (to help others). The Halsin who fights every minute of every day to make the world " a place worth saving", who will make his own meaning in the world, in life, if he can't find one, because he REFUSES, as much as he struggles with it, to accept a reality where there is no point, where everything IS helpless. Because as much as he struggles, as much as he fears it's so, he WON'T let that be true- so he'll make his own purpose if he has to.

Halsin is such a fucking beautiful character I can't stand it!!!!

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

The BG3 party members being bi disasters: a series

If I see anyone call the companions "playersexual" one more time, I'm shooting them in the kneecaps.

Thinking about Gale and Minthara a lot... might be one of my favorite ships these days

Hey. Hey. Pulls you closer. Did you know. It's very important to me that you know. This man is just as buff as Minthara. Why. He could've bench pressed his way out of that tunnel. I need you to know that.

MY DURGE VÉRES‼️ Just a wee lil Bhaal spawn that was created by a necromancer. He’s a freak and I love him. (Yes he’s like Frankenstein, idk what his actual race is. Either drow or elf.)

He does not know how to interact with people. Case in point.

A useful thing to know about AO3 tags is that they're wrangled by humans. A human being will read your tag, understand what it means*, and then connect that tag in the backend system to other tags that mean the same thing (if there are any)

that's why, for example, the tags

not beta read

no beta

no beta we die like men

no beta we die like mne

no beta we die like [insert character who dies in canon]

unbetad

unbeta'd

unbeta-d

un-beta'd

and a million more versions are all searchable and filterable if you just tag one of them. A Tag Wrangler (the job title of a human volunteer who manages AO3 tags) has made sure that AO3 understands that those are all synonyms, so AO3 treats them that way.

When you're tagging your fic, or searching for a fic, or filtering a tag to find or remove works from the list you do not have to use every possible version of a tag. You just need to pick one - unless using more is a stylistic choice you're making, in which case have at it.

*or research what it means - which is why wranglers really appreciate it if you put (OC) behind the name of your original characters so that they don't have to scour every source they can find to see if it's a named background character in canon.

I know it’s been a few days but I need you to know how fucking funny it is that the first durgetash post after your Guy Interlude(tm) was Disney villain Gort 😂 Nothing could have been a more perfect return to regularly scheduled programming

(Also thank you for all your art and writing. Any time you release a new fic chapter it’s legitimately a highlight of my day <3)

(late reply cause I wanted to respond with this specifically lol)

RIGHT back to the schedule baby!

Pinterest is riddled with AI for you. I have been using it solely for pose references and i know they're not AI because i've been seeing the exact same ones since 2021
