Hard agree.

sorry if I was unclear, I meant why do you dislike tone tags? Why don’t you want to talk to people who use them?

because they're condescending, rude, presumptuous, and confusing.

tone tags rely on the assumption that everyone in the world is your enemy and is assuming bad faith in you at all times. say you had sent me this message but ended it with a tone tag. let me translate what that might've assumed:

/gen = you are assuming that i would not simply take you at your word. you are assuming that i am an asshole who would question your honesty / earnestness.

/pos = you are assuming that i would view your question as aggressive and adversarial. you are assuming that i am an asshole who would see something innocent like an inquiry and think you were attacking me.

/nm = see above. you are assuming that i am an unrepentant jackass who thinks everyone is mad at me all the time.

with a ton of tone tags, they only function under the assumption that everyone in the world is always assuming the worst of you. that is a horrible thing to assume of people and a horrible way to live. i am not comfortable talking to someone who 1. thinks i am an asshole and always assumes the worst of me and 2. is scared of me as a result. i'm autistic. i am chronically misunderstood by allistics every day, i don't want to breathe the same air as someone who is going to remind me, constantly, through their little abbreviations that they are always assuming the worst of me in every interaction we have.

beyond that, they're condescending (presumptuously accommodating disabled people without their permission or consent is the first thing you are taught not to do when learning how to interact with us. stop fucking coddling me by explaining what tone of voice i'm to take you in. i'm an adult and i'll figure it out myself.) and completely inexplicable. i'm supposed to learn a whole new language because you're too busy to type out something more cohesive like (lovingly) or (genuine question)? yeah, not doing that.

but mostly they feed into this stupid ass culture online that everyone is always trying to pick a fight with you all the time. if someone has already decided that i am a jackass before we've even spoke, then i have absolutely nothing in common with that person & i don't wanna hang with them.

The reconstructed face of the “Cheddar Man” (c. 7,000 BCE) compared to his living descendant, Adrian Targett    

The Cheddar Man is a Mesolithic skeleton that was recovered from England’s Cheddar Gorge in 1903. At around 9,000 years old, the Cheddar Man is the oldest complete skeleton ever discovered in the UK, and has long been hailed as the “first Briton.” DNA analysis on the Cheddar man from 2018 indicated that he was lactose intolerant, had light-colored eyes, dark brown or black hair, and had a dark to black skin tone. Although the discovery of the Cheddar Man’s dark skin tone was surprising for both scientists and the public alike, it corresponds with recent research suggesting that genes linked to lighter skin only began to spread about 8,500 years ago - approximately 32,000 years later than what was previously believed.  

In addition to the development on his skin tone, the Cheddar Man surprised scientists in 1997 when DNA analysis revealed that he had a living descendant -  a retired history teacher named Adrian Targett. Targett and the Cheddar man share the same mtDNA, which is passed down from mother to daughter. In other words, they share a common maternal ancestor. What is even more remarkable is that Targett lives in Cheddar, only a half mile away where his 9,000-year-old ancestor was discovered.

Targett was not invited to the initial reveal of his ancestor’s new facial reconstruction, but he has since seen it and has commented on the family resemblance. “I do feel a bit more multicultural now,” he once joked in an interview “And I can definitely see that there is a family resemblance. That nose is similar to mine. And we have both got those blue eyes.”

The development of the Cheddar Man’s skin tone has generated resistance, especially among far-right and white supremacist circles. Targett, however, is unbothered by it, stating that it is “marvelous what scientists can reconstruct once they sequence the DNA.” When asked if he thought whether the findings affected the way people think about race, Targett responded: “Yes, I do think it’s significant. Not many people in Cheddar mind it. But the lesson is that we’re all immigrants, whether you’ve been in a place for 10 minutes or 9,000 years. We’ve all come from somewhere.”

I know you think this will set you free, but it won't. This power will trap you, just like it trapped Cazador. You-- you're right. I can be better than him.

BG3 Art Requests: OPEN!

I'd like to give some love and attention to those Tavs & Durges I don't see in fandom often, so I open requests!

If your character is one of those races:

halfling

dwarf

gnome

half-orc

dragonborn*

reblog this post with screenshots/ref, name and a few words about them attached

I will do several sketchy portraits during next few months!

(* low chances because they look like a challenge for me but I can give a try)

[tragedybunny]

I’m gonna need y’all to start commenting on fics you enjoyed. Like for fucking real. I’m serious. The kudos isn’t enough. You have got to tell people you appreciate the work they’ve done because they will, in fact, assume it’s not being appreciated or seen.
