some people don’t deserve fanfics, much less for free.

also even if authors didn’t tag any specific warnings but they used the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag, then that is your warning.

“omg you should’ve —” no one forced your entitled ass to read anything. fanfic writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. if you don’t like what you’re reading, quietly leave. ao3 is not an airport. no one cares about your departure so no need to announce it.

There’s an episode of Sesame Street (on Netflix! you can watch it easily!) where Elmo attends a toy-swap, where you offer up old toys you don’t play with anymore and receive someone else’s toys that are new to you. Cute!

But Elmo, after cheerfully surrendering his old toys, sees that the children who swapped toys with him are playing with his toys “wrong”! They’re imagining entirely different make believe scenarios! They’re pretending the football is a dinosaur egg instead of a rocket ship! Aaahhhhh!!!! And this is so distressing to poor Elmo that he does the unthinkable: He does swapsies-backsies and takes all his toys back!

This being Sesame Street, he learns that you can’t control how other people play pretend, but you can join in if you want to! And if you don’t want to, that’s ok, you can just play pretend your own way by yourself or with someone else who wants to play that way too. You can still be friends with people who play pretend differently than you (and aren’t being mean/harmful/etc, do not bad-faith-read this 🤨).

Anyway this is a post about fandom.

i am a SUCKER for characters who start out as copies of other characters but eventually become their own people, their own identities, completely different from who they once reflected

#oh Hikaru from our high school fanfictions #you started as a palette-swap of a canon character/someone else's OC we mistakenly thought was canon #but eventually we made you your own unique self :< (mostly by making you a catboy but anyway........)

dear everyone on tumblr who needs to host images elsewhere (e.g. to embed on ao3 etc), please give squidge a go!! it's free, it's nonprofit and it's geared towards fandom so nsfw images won't get deleted!! and please stop using imgur if you can because they blocked the uk rather than acquiesce to the fucking internet safety laws, which I can't really hold against em but it does mean all imgur pictures just show up as big purple boxes now

Squidge! Holy blast from the past, Batman. The last time I remember even looking at that site was... eons ago.

( Oh, what was I reading? The Quartz Key. Yes, it's m/m. )

Not only is Squidge still around, it's expanded and grown! It is still run by the same guy, though now it's a nonprofit with a board and everything, and while they maintain all the old squidge sites as static archives, they have a new multifandom archive using the AO3 code at squidgeworld.org. They also host podfics and fanart.

For those younguns in the crowd, back in the day erotic fanworks--especially slash--was not welcome very many places. Walter was willing to host it, and has been a haven for NSFW fanworks since 1994. The various archives and so on hosted at squidge.org were never very large, compared to lots of other archives, but they were a necessary part of the fannish ecosystem, and I'm really glad that there is now a structure in place to keep the whole system running beyond just "Walter's a great guy willing to donate lots of time and money." Walter is a great guy! but like. it's good to have other people to help out and keep things going in the long run.

traumatised-mum

you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?

anisetheapothecary

Many people in the comments are saying “trauma”, but this is actually a very normal occurrence. It’s called Childhood Amnesia, and it’s a process which, as the brain reorganizes itself for cognitive thought that is developed in late childhood, it changes the Accessibility of those memories during recall. Many childhood memories are available to the person, but they will not be remembered during regular recall activity, you have to “trick” your brain into remembering with different tactics.

This is because there are two parts to memories - their encoding and their recall. The encoding determines their availability, their recall determines their accessibility. The reason why trauma memory and childhood amnesia are different is in this distinction. Trauma memory is often encoded differently, bypassing to the limbic system where it is stored as intrinsic memory. It can’t be recalled because it was never encoded. Childhood amnesia, however, seems to indicate that the memories are encoded, but we lose access to them as we age. This is most likely due to the development of brain structures that fundamentally change our encoding and recall of memory as we get older.

This is an important distinction, because trauma memory is “stored in the body”, i.e. you get triggers that send your body into a cascade of uncontrollable feelings, sensations and reactions. Whereas childhood memories won’t generally do that, they are just recalled at odd times with odd associations.

malcolmcooks

reblogging this because I’ve legit seen people freaking out when they realised they can’t remember some of their childhood, thinking they might have some repressed trauma.

#memory #it's like... as you get older and learn more about the world‚ you change your filing system so it's easier to find/access memories #but (most people's?) brains don't take the time to reorganize already-stored files using the new system so they're a lot harder to find/ope #the files are there‚ they just have names like “popsiclebeachdaytheonewiththecrab_final_FINAL_thesecond” instead of “1991-08-21_beach”#they're hard to find but not impossible to locate #trauma isn't likely to be named anything even remotely sensible #they may not have a name—and if they do‚ it's a keysmash #they may be embedded straight into the code that reads all the other files #they can't be opened because they don't exist as files #they've integrated so completely they're part of the system #you may not even realize they're there until you try to process something and BAM trapcard activated

#learned a little while back that apparently the previous owners live just down the street?#they did some remodeling‚ I guess didn't like the changes? but still liked the basic floor plan/neighborhood‚ so they moved 5 houses down #we reversed one (took out a sliding glass door they put in and put back the window that was there before)#and expanded on another (put a wood floor‚ windows‚ and replaced more glass doors with regular doors in converted garage)#fixed the stuck pocket door; ripped out all the lime green carpet covering the beautiful wood floors #my mom is determined to get rid of all the wrought iron as well but that's been a lot slower; we're down to a gate and the car port #the car port is kinda like a giant faraday cage and oh boy does it muck up a wifi signal 😞#maybe someday I'll finally get the last of the green carpet (in my closet) out #at least the owner after me will get to enjoy the built-in bookshelves in the living room that my dad added #though they'll also have to contend with my bedroom which has at least 5 different colors of paint between the walls/ceiling/closet doors

Tim sits across from Jason Todd in a shady 24 hour diner. Both are still bloody from their fight.

“You should tell Bruce you’re alive.” Tim winces. It hurts to speak. He’s pretty sure his jaw is fractured.

“Why?”

“Because he loves you?” He hadn’t intended for it to come out as a question.

“Loved.” Jason scowls. He grabs a napkin and wets it with his glass of water and then gently swipes it along his bruised knuckles. “He loved the kid I was. I’m not that kid now. He can’t love Red Hood. Better to leave him with the memory of me as Robin than what I am now.”

“You’re still Jason.”

“I just told you I’m not.”

“You’re not the boy you were, maybe. I can’t imagine any part of your innocence survived what you’ve been through.”

Tim takes out a small bottle of disinfectant and rolls it across the table. Jason catches it and applies it to his cuts, hissing softly at the sting.

“But you’re Jason. You’re his son.”

Jason’s eyes flash up briefly and then back to his work. “He has a new son.”

Tim sags minutely, shaking his head. “You said it yourself. I’m just the replacement.”

The waitress approaches and refills their coffee mugs. They sip it in silence, letting the minutes rolls by. Tim rubs his sore shoulder.

“Sorry about that.”

“No, you’re not.”

Jason smirks. “No.” He fiddles with the sugar packets, forming them into a structure of some sort. “Hey, Tim?”

“Yeah?”

“Don’t tell.”

Tim studies Jason. He sees a lot of things: anger, resentment, betrayal, desperation, fear.

“Okay.”

Having seen some births now i can say that dog birth is amazing cos they just slip n slide out one after the other like a little conveyor belt. And theyre so little and unformed. And then UNGULATE BIRTHS ... are amazing for the opposite reason which is that 10mins after being born they are filing their taxes. Unless they are goats, in which case they are committing tax fraud instead

creekfiend

Goats are what is called a precocial species, which means that shortly after birth they are able to do many thimgs on their own, such as standing, walking, eating, and embezzlement
