Fanfic Writers Are So Fucking Awesome Man. They Write Novel Length Fics That Are Sometimes Even Better

Sadly, I am petty

I get that there are ships I would not consider writing or reading and I get that there are ships and dynamics that I, personally, would consider toxic but I also recognize that I am not forced to engage in those kinds of ships/dynamics, that is what filters are for, and other people might enjoy it!

However, I can not articulate that well enough in dialogue - written or spoken - which, in turn, makes me a petty asshole who will vague-post about this on the one hand and petty-spam on the other hand.

You want people to agree with you that these relationships are toxic?

Guess what, buddy.

That's all the content I'm gonna post.

(I also recognize that this is not the most mature of solutions. Hence the title.)

Should you find yourself in a situation of considering a ship toxic, filter it, ao3 and tumblr and, as I understand it, most platforms give you the ability to.

Should you be triggered by certain events that might occur in a fanfiction, you can filter.

You do not have to read it.

No one can make you click that link and read that story with your very own eyes.

Screen-readers will read tags to you (hi, this is why it's important to know how to tag, y'all, btw).

You don't like it?

Don't read it.

people will say "why cant the eldritch gods just be nice to humans :((" and then kill a bug for existing near them

Magic breathes against her, Arcana soothing her overwrought skin. The night is alive with Kaos’ winds howling like possessed things- like it’s time for the Oskoreia. The House trembles under her fingertips, walls bracing against a growing pressure, humming with power. Her nerves are raw, her ears too conscious of every loud rush of wind.

She moves on bare feet, silent as a shadow even in the confines of her own home. Guttering candlelight meets the shifting shadows of outside branches against the old tapestry on their walls, warping the home she’s known for so long eerily unfamiliar. Her heartbeat jumps with the first roll of thunder overhead, her hands tremble against the wall as she splays her fingers over the moving facsimiles of trees on the cold tapestry.

The House hums under her skin. Agitated. Like a current waiting to find expression. The hum of galvanization before something pops- sparks- releases.

Hitoka tastes metal.

Summary:

Hajime barely registers the last messages. He doesn’t wait for other replies. Sagging, he lets the phone tumble onto the loveseat to the side of the couch, arms lowering and shoulders dropping even as he glares at the stubborn, lanky problem lounging on his couch.

“You’re being ridiculous,” Tooru whines, arm thrown over his eyes. His phone is still in his hand, though his grip has slackened.

“What’s ridiculous is catching you doing drills on a knee that can barely hold you up!” Hajime snaps, frustration clogging his throat.

Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth

It's Cat Day! ≽^•⩊•^≼✿♡♡

22 February or 22/2 is Cat Day in Japan because it can be read as ni ni ni (the Japanese word for 2) and that resembles nyan nyan nyan and that’s the sound of a (Japanese) mewing cat.

It also happens to be Ninja Day, because ni ni ni.

To celebrate both, I recommend Neko Zamurai. (It has English subtitles.)
