We sharing anaesthetic stories?? I had to have dental surgery when i was in middle school.
According to my mom and sister the very first thing i did upon waking up was BOLT upright and proceed to try and shove my ENTIRE fist in my mouth as fast as possible.
I had to be physically stopped, and i proceeded to sob my eyes out for the next 20 minutes. Somehow, i didnt damage anything 🤣
My favorite thing in the world is when someone whoe spends 99% of the their time in some toxic radicalized internet bubble tries to insult you but they are incapable of speaking normally so they call you some hyper-specific term that literally nobody understands like “kill yourself you fucking nooploid”
And then you Google “nooploid” and turns out it means something like “a derogatory term for attractive people who have sex with attractive people, which is apparently bad somehow.”
I keep seeing fic with words censored in the body of the fic like so: c*nt, f*gg*t, q-slur (seriously, come on), r*pe, *nc*st. I even saw a fic where someone was described as “sitting next to his unalived body” which was so absurd it made me laugh.
I’ve seen this trend in tags as well, which would be ACTIVELY FUCKING DANGEROUS if AO3 tag wranglers weren’t literal, actual angels who make sure that “rape” and “r*pe” (and all such transpositions) are treated like the same tag.
AO3 isn’t TikTok. Tag accurately and completely for your fic themes so people can search AND filter. Use the correct words in your fic content so people who use blacklist extensions can actually benefit from the tools that protect them.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a word without censoring it, then don’t use that word at all. Maybe consider why you’re even writing something that contains that theme.
Sincerely,
An actual real life rape and incest survivor who has actual fucking PTSD and really doesn’t want to have to stop reading fic for my ship because people think a god damn asterisk is going to somehow save people like me from being triggered.
“Reblog now cuz im going to make it unrebloggable in 24 hours” i do not care to give you clout. I will steal your post if it was truly funny and i needed it on my blog but im afraid it simply wasnt that good and people are only “investing” because youre giving them fomo. Sad!
It’s giving “share this with 10 friends or a serial killer will be under your bed tonight” 2009 chain email but even lamer
A tweet from let my people glo ✨(@/MichellCClark):
[“Never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, “this isn’t what i thought it was”, or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.]
millennials will make fun of “i hate my wife” boomer humor then turn around and “why are you doing something nice for your husband?? what are you, his mother?”
