I especially like how the content warnings works there.

reminder that this blog does not believe in thoughtcrimes. Blanket statement, fullstop.

Just so y’all know: I can’t speak for every other fic author but I can say that I remember when people leave me kind comments. I recognize your urls and/or usernames on AO3. I remember you and sometimes in writing my fics I think to myself, “Oh, I hope this person sees this because they liked x in this other fic I did.”

Not only that—I go back and reread comments when I’m feeling low. I look at tags and reblogs and asks and wish I could hold them in my hand like a note from a friend on an old, torn piece of notebook paper.

Your comments have so much more impact than you know. So thanks to those who use the comment section to spread love and encouragement. We appreciate you.

tired of medication positivity posts that assume everyone has a positive relationship with medication

here’s to people who don’t take medication that their doctors want them to take. here’s to people who get marked noncompliant. here’s to people who get sectioned or hospitalized bc they won’t take their meds. here’s to people who self-medicate w nonprescription drugs. here’s to the people in withdrawal. here’s to the people who would rather deal with their symptoms than medication side effects. here’s to the “treatment-resistant” people who have never found medication that helps at all. here’s to the people who are only on meds nonconsensually. here’s to people who refuse meds for “irrational” or “stupid” reasons. here’s to people for whom taking meds is a trauma trigger. here’s to people who are disabled from past medications. here’s to people who are constantly being pressured into taking meds they don’t want and having to defend their “no” over and over again

yes, lots of people need their meds. yes, meds can be important. but don’t forget us

fuck everyone who calls us anti-science or anti-recovery. who says we are hurting other ppl by talking about our choices. bodily autonomy includes the right to say NO. even to medical treatment.

Well, now I’ve seen this take in multiple places so now I can make a tumblr post without it being vagueing. This is directed at everyone who has ever made this argument.

If your response to the phrase “don’t like, don’t read” is “but I won’t know that I don’t like it until after I’ve read it”, you have wildly misinterpreted the meaning of the phrase for seemingly no reason other than to justify getting mad about fiction you don’t like.

“Don’t like, don’t read” isn’t some cute sneaky way to say you should never ever complain about anything ever cause actually it was your fault for reading it in the first place.

“Don’t like, don’t read” means “I have given you every indication of what this work of fiction contains and if you do not like certain elements of this, please just don’t read it instead of telling me to die or something in the comments.”

“Don’t like, don’t read” is an appropriate response to people coming onto a work titled A Sonadow Fanfic that has a description clearly indicating you are shipping Sonic the Hedgehog with Shadow the Hedgehog and in which the fic actually genuinely is a fanfic in which Sonic and Shadow are dating, only to comment “eww this is disgusting, Sonic should be dating Amy, I hate this”.

“Don’t like, don’t read” is what you say to someone who’s whining about seeing their favorite character die in a fanfiction on AO3 in which you have tagged it Major Character Death, even more so if you specified which character dies in the description or other tags.

“Don’t like, don’t read” is what you say to a kid in the library who picks up Goosebumbs and complains that it’s horror.

I don’t like Jane Austen books generally. They come across as dull to me and I struggle to get through them. So I don’t read Jane Austen books. (Except for the time I was forced to because high school).

If you’re given every indication that something you don’t like is in a work of fiction, don’t read it. That’s what it means. We just shorten it to “don’t like, don’t read”.

Reblog if you honestly have NEVER sent anon hate.

It pains me that only 14,000 people can honestly reblog this
