Stop refreshing when I’m in the middle of a Hotchner fic. Goddamn it

What does the ao3 tag dead dove: do not eat mean?

Hi anon,

Essentially it’s a generic darkfic warning.

The name comes from a scene in Arrested Development where a character finds a package in a refrigerator labelled, “DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat!”

Curious, he opens the package anyway and discovers it contains exactly what the label says: a dead dove. The character then says to himself, “I don’t know what I expected.”

“I don’t know what I expected” became a meme in and of itself, used in situations where people choose to look at things that are probably going to be unpleasant, and find out that they are, indeed, unpleasant.

The use of “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” as a tag for fanfiction was suggested by @mostlyvalid as a way to tell readers that, seriously, this fic contains something unpleasant – you have been warned. If you choose to ignore that warning and open the fic, then get upset by the unpleasant content, well, we don’t know what you expected.

It's really fucking weird that people seem to think you only do or think about the things you post about on social media. I have so much more going on my life than I ever post about here, and so do most people.

Chances are high that you know almost nothing about any given blogger on this website, and making wild assumptions about their personal lives based on what they do post about is both weird and invasive.

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)
