Why is it so hard for people to use the right tags? Yes, I get it, you want people to read the fic that you just wrote or something BUT it does NOT belong to the "x reader" category because, first of all, you put or gave the reader a name that could be yours or your OC's and that is already, in itself, NOT an "x reader" but an "x OC" or "x self-insert".

Yes, the fic you wrote is good, but please, PLEASE, understand that not everyone can ignore or mentally change the name you gave the "reader" and, even if they do manage in the beginning, it'll become very tiresome and/or they'll lose interest.

Also, if the fic is about two already existing characters of an anime, manga, movie, game, etc. Then put only "(character) x (character)" in the tags NOT "(character) x reader" when the character of interest is not even in a relationship with the reader or that the story is only about those two existing characters that YOU ship then that is NOT an "x reader" fic. If people want to read about them, then they'll search for it.

I've already stumbled upon way too MANY fics that had these, and I'm sorry, but it would always get on my nerves because when I'd open it, expecting (y/n), (your name), you or (name) to be there only to find that there's a name already used for the reader then end up closing the fic and scrolling past it with nothing but annoyance bubbling in me.

Another thing, if the fic is "(character) x reader" then IT'S THAT character, do NOT add a tag with a different character that is not EVEN IN the fic OR isn't a person of interest. If the fic contains MUPLTIPLE characters that will be with the reader, then THAT is fine.

I'm also going to say that other websites and platforms have the same problem.

It gets very tiring, annoying, and bothersome that we, the reader, have to ALWAYS change the name used for US in the fic when we want to use OUR or our OC's name. Even if I did manage to read through the fic, I'm certain that I have decided to not read or close a lot of them without even batting an eye because I didn't have the energy to do so or just didn't feel like it. Not everyone has the energy to do that.

Don't let me start with the looks that were already chosen for the reader, like, for example, them having blonde hair, but the ACTUAL reader has brown hair.

Look, they may be your comfort or favourite character, but they could be someone else's, too, and the fact that not many can't or don't write for many reasons just want to sit down, relax and read a fic about them "interacting" with their chosen character.

There’s not enough crsm fan art out here so I am mandated to share mine. Ohse is my 2nd fave(after the illustrious Terra)

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

merperson: what’s a gender

marine scientist: like, are you a man or a woman?

merperson: i’m merfolk

marine scientist: no, like, what’s in your pants?

Merfolk: oh man, there are a lot of women here. Haha don’t worry guys, I got this :) *changes into a man to keep a balance because that’s culturally polite for merfolk*

Please.

Folks, seriously.

PLEASE.

Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.

URGING you to consider firework alternatives:

- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky

- dropping a stack of large books on the floor

- wrapping a toga around a candle
