Curate your own online experience. Iām not your babysitter.
I got a comment under one of my stories and it hit me how a lot of new people have followed me lately, and a lot of you clearly donāt know how I write, how I tag, or how I approach 18+ content on this blog.
So letās make this painfully clear before anyone starts clutching pearls and writing thinkpieces about how Iām āterrible again.ā I donāt care.
If youāre reading my 18+ work and choosing to interact with it, Iām going to treat you like an adult. Iām not going to baby you. Iām not going to sanitize it. Iām not going to pretend explicit fiction needs to be handled with foam padding and a waiver.
I am not responsible for the media you choose to consume. That includes fanfiction. That includes dark themes. That includes characters who are canonically awful, violent, manipulative, morally bankrupt, or all of the above. If youāre walking into a story about a character like that, itās on you to know what youāre getting into. āI didnāt realizeā is not a life-ruining tragedy, itās just you not doing basic homework.
My darker fics come with warnings when they need them. This specific piece didnāt have a separate warning because the anon ask that requested it already contained the warning. The request itself spelled out the vibe. Iām not going to repost the same disclaimer five times in neon lights just because someone skimmed.
I assume my readers are intelligent. I donāt write like Iām explaining a moral lesson to a classroom. I donāt spell out every implication. I donāt ādraw the linesā like youāre a child who needs everything labeled in crayon. Subtext exists. Context exists. Canon exists. If you want a completely curated, heavily tagged, filterable reading experience, AO3 is right there and itās literally built for that. Use it. Thatās what itās for.
I do not owe you emotional comfort.
Iām not obligated to care what offends you. Iām not obligated to manage your triggers for you. If you know certain content wrecks you, then you protect yourself like an adult. Check the source material, check the vibe, back out when itās not for you, and move on.
I write what I write. You choose what you read. Thatās the deal.
