Fandom PSAs

Dont’ Like, Don’t Read

or DL; DR

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you, makes you angry or queasy or triggers you, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid things that might make you feel that way.

Learn to use the Sort and Filter function on AO3, especially the Exclude tools.

On social media, block and mute accounts / tags / words when necessary.

If you hated something, you don’t need to tell that to the creator or start pointing fingers at them publicly.

The Back button is free. Use it.

Addendum:

Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.

I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.

Ship And Let Ship

or SALS

You are allowed to ship whatever you want.

Everyone else is also allowed to ship whatever they want.

You are entitled to dislike or even hate a ship. If you want to do this online, in public, don’t use the ship tags for hate posts.

If you see someone posting about a ship they like and you don’t, there is no need for you to start arguing with them in their replies / comments / QRTs / reblogs. Don’t throw your hate in their face.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove.

All of this also applies to liking / disliking an individual character.

Addendum:

”I agree with this, except when…”

No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.

Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.

You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.

If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.

Your Kink Is Not My Kink

or YKINMK / YKINMKATO

The longer version is ”Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That’s Okay”.

People have different tastes. Not everything is for everybody.

Even if you don’t like a specific kink, other people are still allowed to use it in their creations.

You are entitled to dislike kinky content and think that it’s ”weird”.

Don’t kink shame or judge people based on their kinks.

This goes both ways: your kink is not someone else’s kink, so don’t push it onto those who are not into it.

Be Kind

or Don’t Be An Asshole

Focus on the things you like instead of the things you hate.

Create and unite instead of destroying and dividing.

Don’t harass real people over fictional things.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get some attention on social media.

Stop trying to ”win”. Fandom is not a competition.

Remember that your own experiences aren’t universally shared. Your perception of things can differ from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean either of you is necessarily wrong.

Mist never thought she'd lose her droplet.

'Mist's little shadow' is what Omega called him before he was named, in the early days where he still carried the smell of the sulfuric pits with him. He never strayed far from her, always at her heel when she looked for him. She never prepared herself for the day she'd look over her shoulder and find him out of arms reach, only drifting further by the day.

She'd been happy at first, watching him grow into himself. Seeing Dew stand on his own, watching him take the stage like he'd always belonged there, seeing him bonded with his own pack.

Mist had been happy until the day another water ghoul came into his life, because that was the day she realized she was losing him.

She recognized the way Dew looked at this lithe, siren of a thing as he was guided from the summoning circle and felt her chest go tight. Dew looked at him with an immediate warmth that he never held for her, a yearning that she could not fulfill. Mist recognized desire that ran far deeper than she could ever satiate. It was the beginning of the end, no matter how hard she tried to pretend the signs weren't there.

Part of her didn't want to let go. Selfish in the way she missed her protege. Jealous in the way she observed them together. Devastated in the way Dew said his name like it was sacred.

But she still smiles despite it when Dew finds her, the happiest she'd seen him in months, excited enough to miss the faint sadness in her eyes. His flushed cheeks, the smell of cinnamon curling off of him so sweetly, his wide grin. He stumbles over his words as he grabs for her hands, skin running hotter than she'd ever recalled. He was not the ghoul she guided and guarded so closely. Bolder, louder, a fire ghoul by very definition, and a stranger to her at heart.

She should have known he was gone, that her place in his world was overshadowed. That she had done all she could for him, and that Dew didn't need her anymore.

Mist can only focus on the arduous task of maintaining her smile while he babbles on about the pretty new ghoul - Rain, again he says his name like he hopes to savor the way it forms on his tongue. Things between them were growing, blossoming, and he was happier than she'd ever seen him but despite that fact her stomach flips. Salt and lavender mixed underneath Dew's sweet smokey scent, nothing close to the way her protege used to smell. It made her feel sick realizing who it belonged to.

But she squeezes his hands dutifully and tells him how happy she is for him, for them. It's only a partial lie, and she traps the quiet plea for him not to leave behind her teeth when he lets her go.

When he turns, her smile drops and she brings her hands to her chest.

It feels like goodbye to watch him walk away.

I still hope that Elsbeth is just hearing random voices and Thrawn is actually just chilling and has NO IDEA he's some Heir to the Epire

Manifesting their friendship

Dew was banned from holiday parties after last year, but Cumulus always knows how to make him feel special still

anakin pls,,,,

The Avengers | Avengers: Infinity War

Mobius saw this gorgeous lost puppy god knows how many times ago

and then got obsessed with him and looked him up on the timeline and found out who he is

and theeen told everyone at the TVA about him so to let him know whenever he showed up so he can have him

anyway all i'm trying to say is that Mobius fell first but Loki fell harder

Okay but imagine, one day Gavin and Nines get into a little lover's spat. During this spat, Gavin makes a comment about how Nines had about as much personality as a Windows computer when they first met... Every morning for the next month, when Nines comes out of stasis he wakes Gavin up by making the windows xp starting noise VERY LOUDLY... Gavin quickly learns to watch what he says about his boyfriend.

Gavin: Peacefully sleeping in next to the love of his life on a warm Saturday morning.

Nines, waking from his stasis: DING DA DIN DIN DING.

Gavin: WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT???

Nines: *Carries on like nothing happened* Oh, good morning Gavin.

(trust me if you woke up to that noise blaring full blast you would be freaked out too)
