the world keeps turning.

Can you do that

🫵🏻

my headcanon for wemmbu having battle scars is that he has ones from the restraints the LAW used when he was in prison due to low saturation on his wrists (they wrap around). He has a stigmata / star looking scar on his right hand from grabbing Crucible wrong and not noticing at one point (likely during abandoned civ / right after), so that's all the more reason to wear gloves for him. Like I think he always wore gloves but previously it was mainly for aura and grip but now it's because the scar is kind of personal and he doesn't take his gloves off unless he's forced to or alone with Egg. and he has a giant scar on his torso from PZE when they boxed him in the obby cage but it's hidden by his shirt obviously

uh I haven't watched the new video yet but I might have to give him a matching scar on his left hand...ahaha

"*****smut marked with asterisks so you can skip!*****""

Don't. Don't do this.

You let readers know what your fic contains through proper tagging and rating. Content warning notes at the top of the chatter are also great. You can even summarize key "this is the plot relevant stuff you missed of you're skipping this chapter" notes at the bottom too! This is a much smoother reading experience.

This is HELL on screen readers which is a disability access issue. Screen readers will read out every single asterisk you put, which I have seen done as entire page breaks. It's an awful reading experience. Please just don't.

Readers do not need their hands held through the reading experience. If they're enjoying the fic but don't care for smut, they can just skim until it gets interesting again. If they REALLY don't like smut, you warned them. There's a back button. You don't have to do a special song and dance isolating out the specific parts you think might be "icky". (If you think those bits are icky and don't like writing them, consider just don't! Fanfic is a hobby we do for fun and you don't have to write anything you don't find enjoyable. There's plenty of readers for gen fic and smut free ship fic).

Please, please don't try to span the entire page with whatever symbol you're using for your scene breaks. It takes an eternity for screen years to get through, and typically has me noping out of even the most interesting stores.

Instead, use just three (or fewer) make. Three is standard, and does the job without making your story unreadable.

It is hell

It is absolute hell

From navigation to listening to the voices

It's just awful

Since then I've tried to write with screen readers in mind because the number of websites that think about accessibility is SO SO SMALL

If you don't believe me, use NVDA which is a free accessibility tool. Otherwise you have to spend thousands of dollars for a slightly better one. Then try to navigate a website.
