#there's a lot that I would choose multiple for

[vashti-lives]

Also, as someone who has used "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" that doesn't always mean the fic actually needs archive warnings! A lot of old school writers have a blanket policy of "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" for convenience or because they have a philosophical opposition to modern fandom tagging conventions. Like, this post glosses over it but in the 2000s the entire concept of warnings was fucking controversial. People fought long and hard in the LJ trenches about it. "Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" is a way of allowing preference about tagging conventions, while also allowing readers to make informed choices.

I personally used that category when I was writing for a fandom that had multiple background student/teacher relationships that existed before the story takes place. I was unsure about tagging the fic as underage because I wasn't referencing them or showing them any more than the source material, and I was worried it would chase off people fine with the source material but who wouldn't want anything more detailed, but at the same time if I tagged "no archive warnings apply" that seemed a little dishonest. By choosing not to warn I could be specific in the tags without worrying about the broad strokes.

"Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" is a purely neutral setting, that's exactly what it says on the tin! Someone isn't using the general archive tagging conventions, it doesn't necessarily imply anything about the content of the story.

This is a Moving Forward PSA for everyone using AO3. I am witnessing the results of a culture clash and communication failure. Not a lack of communication, but a misunderstanding caused by changes in fandom culture.

Before fic tagging was common, fics weren’t tagged. You had a pairing, if applicable, an author’s note about genre or general content, and if they were feeling charitable, a vague content warning. There are even a few genres of fic where even vaguely tagging literally spoils the plot and impact (such as horror, psyche thriller, in which the likely content is implicit to the genre). As a result, there is a basic category tag that permits this, as a courtesy to “old-fashioned” writers.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means the fic is PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe.

“Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings” is the polar opposite. It’s a glaring Enter at Your Own Risk billboard. It means: a shitload of warnings apply but I ain’t telling because this story requires shock value. It’s very important to read the author’s notes for those fics because they might be using that older format from above.

But without the context of fandom culture that generated AO3, it’s understandably easy to conflate the two categories, given their similar wording.

--- somehow i don't think the trans radfem movement thinks aphobia is a fine word to exist

It's almost quaint. Almost.

Why is there a wave of trans radfems defending 4chan boards

I'm going to need to be pointed to this if only because I'm going to get dinged for spreading malicious lies about trans women being "Nazis" otherwise, but lmfao if true.

wtf kind of hill is txttletale dying on now?

I mean she's still a tankie fuck but apparently now she's also getting in on the transmisogynistic harassment campaign game.

isn't "doll" specifically a fetish term? that is really not something people should be applying to other people without making sure it's ok first.

No, it's a Black ballroom term that trans women started running with.

People on this site are taking pissing on the poor to a whole new goddamn level “telling people that this person is/has sexually harassed someone who was a minor is calling everyone with their identity a pedophile”, I’d blame the school system but that really was a choice not to actually read and relay

it's definitely malicious

joan jett in the mv for i hate myself for loving you is like, unbearably beautiful

so true

it’s so obvious that these people choose to isolate themselves in a dimension crafted out of their own self-hatred that they care more about hurting their oppressors (and people who don’t even oppress them) than uplifting people hurt by systems of oppression. sometimes i think i’m bad but then i come across people like that and realise i’m relatively well-adjusted

inspiring innit

post addressed to trans women from a trans woman about trans women –> trfs in the notes: “why are you telling me to be nice to trans men?”

they have their priorities

absolutely wild to say that transunitists are 2010-reddit-style mras and then say things like "afab privilege." yeah those afabs with their wielding of power. and i bet they get free drinks at every bar and their bosses promote them for being pretty, huh.

they get upset at having their logic compared to MRAs because it's implicit misgendering (never mind that they directly call random trans men MRAs and radfems as well) but I'm not sure what they expect when they talk at length about how all of those fucking evil AFAB bitches are just waiting for their chance to screw you over with a false rape accusation

"pick me" is AAVE, and, like all white girls, they're overusing and misusing it until it has no meaning left 🙄

I actually wasn't aware of that. Neat. Disputed? See replies.

a lot of this going on is just reminding me once again of the intense monogenderism that really never gets worked on. It’s super awkward as a multigendered individual and an intersex one

it also just really feels so fucking tone ignorant the way people talk.

society still calls traits of men or masc, some even actively choose to agree while still being a counter to it gender but obviously real trans women don’t so attacking those things would never hurt them, and multigender trans woman who are also men? Obviously fake.

the English language is so fucking insufficient

I honestly wish every asshole who seems to think the ability to mask as complete cis and definitely just your assigned gender is a privilege had to live in my head for the holiday season. I am entirely in the closet with my family because of bigotry I have no other choice than living with my family for multiple reasons I just spent the entire winter holiday pretending to be a woman answering to my deadname being called aunty and sister and daughter and not being able to say jack shit about it without even being able to retreat to the solace of my friends afterwards because they are all busy with their own families. I want those assholes to experience the emotions and thoughts I just went through and come out the otherside and see if they still think that this is a fucking privilege.

Love you anon. <3

that anon telling on themselves so hard saying transmisogynys "far deeper" than transphobia. literally why on earth would you phrase it like that if the point was anything besides "my *special* oppression is way more poignant and meaningful than your boring regular oppression"

lmao right though it's so obviously just trying to mark their thing as having more dramatic flair

do you keep a backup of your blog with a program like tumblthree? there's a lot of valuable posts on it, and tumblr is almost distressingly transitory.

I don't, but noted.

⭑･ﾟﾟ･*:༅｡ AURORA’S PHONE ｡༅:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

ˑ༄ؘ ۪۪۫۫ ▹🐚 PHONE CASES

total: 8 (?)

when it comes to aurora and her phone cases, i’d say she’s all over the place with her style in cases. as long as it’s aesthetic and matches her vibe, she’ll use it. areum tends to switch them out every other month since she likes the variety of looks on her phone.

☁️*:･ﾟ★｡WALLPAPERS

total: too many to count

for her lock screens (left photo), aurora usually puts a picture of joshua, her baby, or a photo of both of them. she likes to open her phone to something that makes her happy, so pictures of her family are usually her go to. on the other hand, her home screens (right photo) are much more simple. areum doesn’t like too many distracting things on her phone, so choosing a minimalistic wallpaper will keep her focus on the apps.

⋆⁺₊ ☾⋆⁺🫖 CONTACT PHOTOS FOR SEVENTEEN

total: multiple for each member

for seventeen’s contact photos on aurora’s phone, she tends to put silly pictures of them that she’d taken. areum likes to change them every time there’s a new and funnier picture. she says it’s funny to see their contact photos light up her phone each time one of them calls.

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!

[dykedvonte]

I think the most baffling thing about the Tulpar as a vessel to me is the fact that the ship really did only have a one way communication system.

I know it was cheap but even the most basic of vessels regarding major transport would have some way, shape or form for outside communication. Not only that but there was absolutely no form of innate emergency signal to show they may have been offline or in trouble despite clearly having a system to dock credits if they went off course. It's another factor that really shows that bad situations are made to get worse by design. One person who is required to relay all information to the crew and make all the choices without feedback. No way to update or call for help in case of a dire situation. No way to inform of inner personal conflicts and acquire procedures accordingly.

It really is like they are all in some sort of fucked up solitary confinement. They have their own world with strict roles that are meaningless in the end, as long as the cargo makes it, it doesn't matter what happens on that ship to the company. They don't want to hear anything and will come to conclusions on what happened based on how much pay they can withhold from the workers. Even what they do send is short, sterile and corporate to the extent it was likely written and sent out with a command by some random unmanned computer in an office.

There's something to be said about how unfair it is to force absolute power and control onto one person when you as an entity could do so much more to offload it but I've said it many times before so I won't again.

[isdalinarhot]

My favorite sex headcanon that is not fueled by lust in any way but just exists because it’s funny to me. Is that Evi has like a super mega piss kink like Cannot Get Off If There’s No Piss Involved kind of shit and Dalinar Does Not Have A Piss Kink At All but he’s like you know what. Some of Sadeas’s wildest fantasies are shit like wound fucking and forced castration so in comparison to that peeing on you every time we have sex is no biggie and so even though for Dalinar his Evi sex is lackluster unenthusiastic pretend-she’s-Navani reproductive at best, Evi’s Dalinar sex is wildly wildly good. Because she gets to have Dalinar pee on her. Love wins

[itsalwaysdark]

also its so dumb that one of the arguments ppl have against a sims 5 is that theyve already invested too much money into 4. like yes its fucking scummy that ea charges so much for dlc and its Ludicrous the amt sims 4 costs if you have all the dlc and its going to keep getting more and more expensive but . to be honest . why are you paying for sims packs. im sry

[ask-firespiritcookie]

if ur still taking drawing reqs, i would love to see more of lof/cataclysm again c:

((Here's my headcanon for his story:

There's a prophecy from long long ago that states that the world will be burned by FS. Abon the discovering of said prophecy, people started lashing out at FS, cursing him, calling him stuff along the lines of demon and monster. They wanted him gone because obviously they didn't want the world destroyed.

FS was absoutely horrifed about the entire thing. Despite his nature, he really did have an appreciation for life and everything with it. He would never want to burn the whole world. But he of all people, knew how much fire desires to burn. It doesn't matter what, fire will always burn. It does not listen to others and you can only be careful around it to not get hurt. So FS agreed to be put under a spell that wouldn't kill him, but send him to a internal sleep.

So there he slept, under the rocks of Dragon's Valley. And life continued for many many generations.

However, as the years continued, people became more evil hearted. Fighting and corruption only continued to grow and grow. Not only were people's relationships at ruin, so too soon was the Earth. Eventually, long after FS and the prochey were forgotten, the energy the chaos had created started breaking the spell of peace placed on FS. Then one fateful day, the spell broke and FS was awakened.

All FS knew and felt was the evil around him. All he could feel inside was the desire to burn everything. Nothing good remained, so why not just burn everything in sight? It was time for him to fulfill his prophecy. Burn the world so that nothing remains. Not a hint of what once was the evil world. Then. finally, peace may return and life can start anew.

Despite his accepetance of his role, a part of the old FS and his appericaition for life and knowledge that evil can become good still lives on. And he feels just a little hestience and guilt. A part of him wishes to be stopped, but he knows the ever growing chaos and hatred only fuels his power. So he continues to mindlessly burn until he dies, or the world.

If he does succeed, well, there'll be nothing left to fuel him. He can either aimlessly wonder the ash, or, let himself become one with it. Either by simply waiting for his fire to die, or going to a cold place to speed up the process. Whater he chooses. He is free in the world of ash he created. He probably becomes Lord of Ash while life begins to slowly grow again. Once the world and it's people become peaceful again, who knows if he tries to return to normal.

I stumbled into another facet of this due to a less-than-ideal ttrpg experience. Sometimes the fantasy is What If Everything Were Fucking Easy, Actually

I understand and respect that a lot of people want to be challenged by their games! I’ve watched lots of meta for fromsoft games and the like, I understand why working hard at things and mastering skills down to the frame is satisfying!

It is hard for me to go piss.

Recognising I have to piss, initiating Time To Go Piss protocol, standing up, walking to the bathroom, lowering myself safely to the toilet, and so on? It is physically and mentally hard—and painful!—for me.

When I sit down to play a videogame or gather around the table for a session, I want to live a fantasy where not only are mundane things like going to the grocery store or washing dishes not a gauntlet, but I can do AMAZING THINGS with minimal effort and feel cool doing it. I don’t want zero challenge from my games but please. Just for a few minutes or hours. I want to live in a world where things ARE fucking easy.

a reminder to my fellow disabled people it isn't wrong or make you less of a player for using accessibility options.

a reminder that playing on a low difficulty only or (like with games with minecraft) no difficulty

a reminder that using unlimited health options like in cult of the lamb is not bad or wrong and you are no less of a player for using it

turning brightness high on horror games like tattletale whether its because you are visually impaired or because you cannot handle the fear a low-light scene can cause.

disabled people are not any less a gamer for needing accessibility options. we are not any less a gamer for playing the game on easy. we are not any less a gamer because we are disabled and might not be able to get all the achievements or trophies or whatever a game has available.

we deserve to be able to enjoy the games we want to play
