Ugh, I hate it when they™ go "Solas wants to destroy the world". Bullshit.
SOLAS DOES NOT WANT TO DESTROY THE WORLD!!
He wants to free magic and bring freedom to the elves by tearing down the Veil. He accepts that achieving this means the death of many people and spirits (who he considers just as much people as, well, people from the material world). He accepts that there will be chaos and death when magic comes free.
He does NOT do this lightly or with joy or with the intention to kill. He does it because he wants to make the world BETTER. Not destroy it.
And yes this might be pedantic but it's an important distinction.

a good litmus test to see if someone has good anime opinions or if they just regurgitate shit they hear from random anime youtubers who dont read the material they talk about is how they feel about bakugou katsuki & why.
#not even their opinions on him. bc you can hate bakugou and still be compelled by his character writing#and conversely you can love katsuki and not understand jack shit about his character#i have opinions on this#+ a good follow up question is what they think about all might.#codi.txt

how do u rate the totk house
2/10. Did not like. There’s no options to fuse sections, add doors etc. so you inevitably have to leave parts of it exposed to the air and disconnected to each other. Not having the ability to do even that bare minimum goes against the entire spirit of the game.

Hiya! Thank you for responding to my poll about DDDNE! You are the first person to explicitly call out that you see “so don’t complain” as judgy, and I expected that to happen MUCH earlier in this poll’s circulation. May I ask what fandom(s) you tend to read in? Again, thank you for your contribution to Science!!!
Huh, that's wild! I assumed others would have put that before I did, too. I currently tend to read Supernatural fic, but I used to read Good Omens, Jeeves and Wooster, BBC Sherlock, and Original/Granada Sherlock Holmes. I rarely see it actually used, but I tend to read older fics - most of the fics I've read that used it have been fairly recent, like the last 5 or so years if I had to estimate?
For your data: I learned about DDDNE on Tumblr about 8 years ago, where the post I read explained that it usually goes hand in hand with Don't Like; Don't Read as a reminder that the reader is responsible for curating their experience, and after you've read the tags, it's your choice whether to continue or not. I've never seen it as a moral judgement on the reader or the author, just an acknowledgement that the subject matter of the fic is not for everyone and readers are responsible for curating their own reading experience.
The reason I took issue with the phrasing of "so don't complain" is that if I were ever to use it, I would mean it like "this fic contains some heavy stuff, so double-check the tags and make sure you know what you're getting into" and that's how I interpret it when I see fics tagged with it. It's not really "so don't complain," more like "so if you read the tags, see that this fic contains something you find upsetting, and still choose to read it, that's on you, I warned you, and it's not fair to be angry at me for it." No shade on either party, just a reminder that you're in charge of your media experience, and that the writer has done their best to warn you of what's inside. Completely neutral in my mind.
It's handy to me because sometimes I forget to/just skim-read the tags before clicking on a fic, and that tag being there reminds me to double-check for potential triggers. Of course, it's only useful when combined with appropriate tagging. A fic just tagged with "Dead Dove Do Not Eat" with no additional tags is like a sign just saying "Danger!" - I'm just gonna back away and find somewhere else to go.
(although I'll admit I have sometimes, out of curiosity, clicked through to a dead dove fic where I've seen it's completely untagged or tagged for something that squicks me, and then when it inevitably does squick me I'm just like welp. Shouldn't have done that! and click back out. Not judging the author, just knowing my limits!)
#my asks#this got long lmao#i have Opinions on this#ive seen some people saying stuff like 'writing dead dove fic is immoral' or whatever but (setting aside the morality thing)#dead dove is just a warning#not a specific label#it could be used on literally any fic - its just to remind you to check the tags#it's just associated with darkfic because those are the fics where people are more likely to ignore the clear warnings (i.e. the tags)#and get upset that the fic contains what was warned for and take it out on the author#so authors tend to use it more for darkfic to try to remind people to be nice and curate their own experience#and just walk on by and let the author be if its not your thing#it's similar to the 18+ content warning on ao3 actually - you have to click through to acknowledge that you have been warned there is 18+#content behind the wall and that you are willing (and of age although i know people lie about it) to see it#therefore if you see 18+ content after clicking you've been warned! and you don't really have a leg to stand on if you want to get mad at#the author for writing that kind of content#you could have just backed away and not read it#anyway. yeah#Many Thoughts#(i hope this doesn't come across as aggressive to you#I do not mean it that way! Just rambling lmao)#artie talks

Yes, but person #1 is still the basis of the other options. You can talk to me, but you can't stand in front of my kitchen sink. I need that every few minutes dammit. Stop going back! No no now I need you to move again, shoo
If you can't keep moving out of my way or stand in places where I'm trying to be, you need to leave the room. You can sit in a chair at the edge of the kitchen, though.
#just dont sit in the other room like i can hear you from around the corner#and dont sit in the dining room but scroll on your phone the whole time#either talk to me or leave so i can put on some music or tv#i have Opinions on this

i do think there is a degree to which certain kinds of Instagram activists have convinced themselves that traumatising themselves in solidarity is a useful form of activism. "I'm having nightmares and crying so much I want to be sick because of all these videos of dying children but I can't look away while people are getting hurt" I mean don't you think you'd be able to help more if you weren't having nightmares and crying all the time?? don't you think this is a one-way trip to burnout? don't you think maybe increasing the amount of trauma going around is counterproductive? I dunno bro there's something to be said for bearing witness but there comes a point where you gotta look hard at yourself and go "am I helping, or am I just making myself suffer so I don't feel guilty for not suffering while somebody else is experiencing bad shit"
#and they try to drag other people down with them#BUDDY I AM NOT USEFUL IF I'M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK#vicarious trauma is not like. a useful form of solidarity. in my opinion#personal

A car is 3,000 lbs of metal travelling at 30 MPH at a minimum. And you are generally going to be sharing the road with a number of other vehicles. And at least some of those will be massive even compared to other cars.
What does that mean? It means that everything takes longer. Stopping, turning, starting, all take seconds. It also means that everything that's happening is something the human brain was never designed to handle. We spent hundreds of thousands of years where the fastest we could move was running after a gazelle on foot, and tracking something in motion meant picking one duck out of a flock. Your brain is not up to the task of maneuvering a car down a crowded highway.
So we invented rules. Lanes, turn signals, speed limits, stop signs, all designed not only to force you to not take risks but also to make your behavior predictable to your fellow drivers. Because the less they have to worry about you, the safer they can be.
And fine, maybe you're a savant behind the wheel. Maybe you think you can drive perfectly while eating, or parallel park while filming a TikTok. Is the guy next to you a savant, too? Because if he screws up and you aren't paying attention, you're dead. If the guy next to HIM screws up, maybe he kills you trying to avoid that idiot.
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, obey traffic laws, and don't drive while stupid. Because all it takes is one mistake for SEVERAL people to die in a car accident, and most of y'all don't deserve that.
Why do so many people make tiktoks while they're clearly driving. What the fuck. Stop that shit, you're gonna kill someone.
#My dad was a trucker#I have OPINIONS on this#He spent a month in the hospital due to a load being poorly balanced#Everything on the road needs to be safe#because mistakes are catastrophic

My last post was being snarky but here's my genuine pronoun etiquette opinion in case you actually want to know: it's pretty much never a good idea to directly ask someone their pronouns in front of a group of people, especially if you're in a position of authority, i.e. a teacher. The stakes of this question are very high for some people and you are putting them on the spot to decide what they want to share and what is safe to share. If you have decided you want to ask for pronouns at all, you can introduce yourself with your own to remind people that they can share theirs if they want to. And for the love of god whatever you do please do not just single out the most gender non-conforming or "trans looking" (to you) person and ask only them and no one else
#obligatory disclaimer this is just my personal opinion/experience. i shouldn't have to say I don't speak for everyone but obviously i don't#but it keeps happening to me so#and sometimes by other trans people!
