Do you have any triggers?
Jello, Popsicles, Soup Broth.
Nah, I never joke about Jello, Popsicles, and Soup Broth…
Indeed, I am!
I’m a disability advocate whose triggers are Jello, Popsicles, and Soup Broth.
I legit just lost a follower over this.
They must be really big fans of Jello and/or Popsicles and/or Soup Broth.
For those who have trouble detecting sarcasm - the last sentence about them being fans of said foods was sarcastic. But a few people have really unfollowed me over this.
The other three replies, including the original, are serious.
Jello, Popsicles, and Soup Broth are my legit triggers. I would never joke about that.
I know it sounds bizarre. But trust me, I’m serious.
(I’m also not a big fan of fluorescent lights.)
It should be noted that I haven’t received this many death threats since the Great Snape War of 2013.
This is by far my favorite reply:
All right, folks, take your seats, because class is now in session! Let’s have a little talk…
Yeah, yeah, I know it’s Saturday, but learning is fun.
I’ve had seven surgeries in my lifetime and will probably have many more in the future. And one such surgery, which happened about nine years ago, involved really fun (*sarcasm*) things like tubes that are shoved up your nose and end up in your stomach (I know, I didn’t think it was possible either until they did it), eight gallons of really disgusting fluid, pain, lots of pain, and the direct order that I had to evacuate every single bit of food that was inside me.
And that was before the surgery even began!
After the surgery, I had to stay in the hospital for about a month.
And I was on what’s called a clear-liquid diet.
What’s a clear-liquid diet?
For this particular hospital:
Water, Jello, Popsicles, and Soup Broth.
A meal that was delivered to my hospital room three times a day.
That’s all I was allowed to eat.
For those of you who enjoy doing math: I was in the hospital for a month, which is roughly 30 days. I had to eat this meal three times a day. That’s 90 bowls of soup broth, 90 containers of Jello, and 90 Popsicles. Ninety times I had to eat these things. In the span of a month. 90.
Which means that nine years later, I am actually physically unable to eat these three items without vomiting. It’s a sensory trigger.
So why didn’t I talk about this from the beginning instead of enduring four death-threats, six unfollows, and nineteen messages/comments (not including the death threats and the ones that just said ‘Popsicles, Jello, Soup Broth’ over and over again)?
Well, there’s two reasons.
A.) I don’t have to. People don’t ever have to explain why something is triggering to them. Once they say that it is, it should just be a given.
And
B.) The above comment is right. I am a disability advocate. And part of that advocacy includes advocating on behalf of people with triggers. And so, you’ve all been part of a social experiment for the past few hours - an experiment to see how people react when they see that someone has really bizarre triggers (out-of-context).
And I’m a bit sad to say that many of you have failed. Even other people with triggers and/or other advocates.
So listen because this is really important:
I know that triggers are a sensitive subject and I know that there are people out there who do joke about them.
But there are even more people out there who have triggers that seem really bizarre and even silly.
And you know what?
You cannot invalidate those triggers.
You cannot assume that someone is joking, you cannot assume that they’re mocking other people with triggers that are more commonplace or ‘sensible’, you cannot assume that they are anything less than genuine.
If someone tells you that they have a trigger, you need to believe them, no matter how bizarre it might seem.
Class Dismissed.
Louder for those in the back.
If someone tells you that they have a trigger, you need to believe them, no matter how bizarre it might seem.
Diving In The Deep End
Diving In The Deep End
Pairing: Chris Evans x Sebastian Stan (Evanstan)
Rating: Teen & Up
Word count: 3k
A/N: I was supposed to be writing another fic but I accidentally wrote this. Oops? Yes, surprise, it’s another Evanstan getting together fic! You’re welcome 😂 Not very original but was good to flex my writing muscles again though! Many thanks to my boo @rainbowsandcoconut for her unparalleled beta skills, as always 💗
Summary:
“What, never?”
Sebastian keeps his eye trained on Scarlett’s incredulous face, pretending he’s only casually interested in Chris’s answer to her question instead of hanging on his every word.
“Nope,” Chris replies, popping the P.
Scarlett raises a perfectly manicured eyebrow. “You’re telling me that you never once in your entire life, not even during theater school, locked lips with another guy?”
This time, Sebastian can’t stop himself from glancing in Chris’s direction, though he’s grateful he’s wearing sunglasses so it isn’t quite as obvious that he’s looking.
Chris rubs a big hand over his beard, shaking his head. “Sorry to disappoint, but I don’t know what else to tell ya.”
“Why not?” Robert asks curiously. “Not your thing?”
“Well,” Scarlett interrupts, “he can’t know that if he’s never tried it, can he?”
Read it on AO3
Chapter 2 is now up!
Chapter warning: this is basically just 7k of smut. 18+ only please!
Chris kisses him until Sebastian literally forgets what’s up and what’s down, and when he’s finally let up for air and goes to take a step back, he stumbles. He falls into Chris, bracing himself on Chris’s chest with both hands.
“Hey there, handsome,” Chris says, wiggling his eyebrows.
“Hey, yourself,” Sebastian says breathlessly. His hands, still on Chris’s chest, flex of their own volition. He stares at Chris’s pecs, feeling a little woozy from the combination of sun, beer and being thoroughly kissed by Chris fucking Evans, so he can’t be held accountable when he asks, “Have you ever thought about getting a bra for these?”
There’s a beat of silence, and then Chris throws back his head and laughs, loud and joyful.
“You’re such a little shit,” Chris chuckles affectionately. “C’mere.” Hooking one massive, bare arm around Sebastian’s neck, Chris pulls him in and kisses him full on the mouth. Because that’s a thing they do now. Christ.

Chapter 3 is DONE - fic complete
(I know, fucking finally - biggest thank you ever to the incredible @rainbowsandcoconut for her top notch beta’ing, flailing, and friending 💘 ILY)
Chapter warning: this is basically just 8k of smut with some gratuitous feels and fluff thrown in. 18+ only please!
When Sebastian wakes up next, slowly emerging from a sweet, dreamless sleep, the room is dark.
For a moment, he’s disoriented, unsure as to what woke him up. He sniffles, lifting his head to try and make out his surroundings – only to realize he can’t really move, because there’s an arm slung over his torso, holding him close to a wide, muscled chest.
Chris.
He’s in Chris’s bed, naked as the day he was born. And plastered all along his back is an equally naked Chris, who is hugging him like an oversized teddy bear, and who is, whoa, humping Sebastian’s leg. Okay, then.
Sebastian sucks in quick breath, surreptitiously attempting to look over his shoulder to check if Chris is still asleep or if this is a conscious attempt to get something started. But Chris’s breathing is steady, if a little shallow, and apart from one very specific part of him, his body seems relaxed. Apparently, Chris is really just sleep-humping him. Shit.

Love it, love it! Read it yesterday on AO3 after waiting for the last chapter. So I’ve read it at least 3 times now! One of my favourites!

There is a reason for this though!
The original tweet summarizes it pretty well. Fanfic tends to be popular among certain types of neurodivergent people (aka people most likely to read excessively as a child, and have burnout as an adult) for the same reasons that we tend to hyperfixate–neurochemical signaling (I hope I’m using that phrase correctly). What I mean is, for people who are really dependent on changes in dopamine/serotonin/neurotransmitter levels, who have low levels or wonky neural reward systems (perhaps the most common types of neurodivergence)…people like us rely on dependable external sources of those neurochemicals. In order to function, we spend a lot of our free time trying to level out our brain chemistry using things that can reliably bring us a steady stream of joyful moments (rewards) without costing too much of the mental effort that is already in short supply.
significantly: the investment of reading has to be balanced with a steady “return on investment”–and this return has to start fairly quickly. because again, we don’t have a lot of attention/energy to invest on tiring things. we have perpetual “low batteries” in that regard.
that doesn’t mean these stories are “simple,” or that they lack complexity or value–only that the reward has to come in short regular intervals, and it has to have a low “upfront cost.” these stories are only “easy” to read in the sense that the effort we put into them is rewarded in a timely manner. which is why fanfic stories are so perfectly formulated for neurodivergent readers–they are often beautifully written, but skip a lot of the upfront costs (of introducing new characters, of world-building, of getting the audience emotionally connected to the story elements).
the nature of fanfiction is that the reader has a pre-existing relationship with this world and these characters. that–combined with the shorter average length of fics–means that fan fics very quickly start rewarding the reader in a way that traditional fiction struggles to. that’s not a bad thing! and maybe it’s something more traditionally published writers should be paying attention to.
Fanfic, as a genre, has been uniquely helpful and accessible to many neurodivergent readers who would otherwise struggle to immerse themselves in stories. I’m glad so many of you have found a way to love and enjoy reading again! The important thing is that you are spending time inside stories you love–the way those stories are published or presented to the world is just one detail. The fact that you find joy in the process of reading (or listening!) to stories–that is what matters.
I feel understood 🥰
a bunch of people have reblogged this with the default “i feel called out” reaction….and i know when we say that we mean it tongue-in-cheek….but this comment sorta blew my mind & shifted my perspective up and to the left a little thank you♥

I’m looking for an mpreg fic. I can’t remember if it was pregnant Bucky or pregnant Steve, but the are separated for some reason. The pregnant person goes to live on a farm in New England somewhere and the neighbor down the road is Sam Wilson. I’m not sure mpreg is a natural thing that happens in their world, but the pregnant individual reveals it to Sam who helps him through it and is there for them until their significant other returns. Thanks!

Hello, could I please have help finding a fanfic? It’s modern bucky and captain america steve. There’s this part where one of them refuses to talk to the other, and Steves on the roof and tony is flying over while carrying Bucky to make them talk. Eventually Bucky gets cold and Steve broke down the locked door to get them in. I hope you can help me find it, thank you a lot!

I am looking for an mpreg fic where when Steve wakes up from the ice, he declines the offer of becoming Captain American for the Avengers for more than a mission or two I believe. I cannot remember if he woke up from the ice pregnant or if he meets up with Bucky briefly, but Bucky and he don’t meet after that until after Steve has had the baby. He takes up residence in Maine or Vermont. Sam is his neighbor. I’m not sure if I’m pushing together a few fics, but this is what I can remember. Thanks

Hi. I’ve been looking all over the place for a certain fix but can’t find it anywhere. It’s ABO and Bucky is Steve’s Omega but when Steve gets the serum their bond is broken and Bucky almost dies. I’m pretty sure I actually found it on this blog but I’m not sure where.

hi y’all! I’m wondering if y’all can find a fic for me because lord knows I can’t find it myself. it’s post catws and bucky is staying with steve but hydra had put a like microchip in his brain that allows zola to talk to him and kind of control him a little bit? I think bucky ended up figuring out how to sign to he could tell people what was wrong? hopefully that rings some bells, but if not oh well! thanks in advance, y’all are some angels, I swear!

I’ve been looking everywhere for this amazing one shot I believe where Steve finally decides to stop chasing Bucky. He meets him at a restaurant and they eat together before he tells Bucky. Bucky eventually comes back to find Steve! If you can find it I would really appreciate it!

Hey I’m looking for a fic that I just can not seem to find and I’ve gone through every tag I can think of. It’s the one where Steve is going to meet bucky in a cabin as like a little vacation and Steve’s car breaks down in the snow and he has to walk there and he has a panic attack that reminds him of the ice. Thanks for all that y’all do!!

Hi guys, love this blog! Was just wondering if anyone remembered a fic where Bucky is cursed to always smile or something? I’m not sure what the other details are, just that he can’t stop smiling/being happy or something… (it’s not a marvellous gift or if wishing made it so) ❤️
Anon 8 said:
Hi! So I don’t know if this got deleted or I imagined this, but I swear I remember seeing a summary for a fic that was about Bucky and Steve being a part of his imagination that made him do dangerous things, but one day he actually met Steve??? I’m sorry if it doesn’t make sense, I don’t think I remember it correctly.
Anon 9 said:
I’ve been searching for a story and I can’t find it! In this story Bucky was an intern for SI and got picked to help for a captain America photo shoot they were doing to like “make him more relatable” and I know there was obvious sexual tension or something but I don’t remember if he ended up posing with him or if he just was at the shoot. Coulson was involved I think, Pepper definitely was as was Natasha, and I think Clint was his friend that he was competing with for the internship.

I have no idea why I can’t find this fic bc I remember it so vividly. I feel like it might have been a series of one shots, but I could be wrong. Steve is at some sort of boarding school for male omegas, and bucky is the alpha in charge of them. Brock used to be but got in trouble, and he would always harass Steve. I think Steve’s roommate was Clint, and I think stucky meet in the bathroom. At one point, nat (who is clint’s alpha) helps them sneak out to an omega rights protest. Thank you!!

Is this true?
Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”
You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.
Yeah signal boost because not enough people know about this and seriously FUCK SUSAN G. KOMEN THEY ARE THE ACTUAL WORST

DO NOT DO THIS.
This makes me so angry.
If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.
My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.
When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.
If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.
Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.
Please signal boost this so people know.
This also applies to baristas
Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit.
I am very sensitive to lactose, not Lactose intolerant but because of stomach ulcers that are still healing. A couple years ago I went to Starbucks right after my classes with some friends and asked for a green tea latte with soy milk. The barista, for some reason out of malice and/or hate for her life so she took it out on me, gave me whole milk in my latte.
5 minutes after my first sip of latte, my stomach cramped BAD. Not the “Oh! time to poop!” kind of cramp but it felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and twisted it. Now I’ve had this happen before so I knew the cause of it. I went up to the barista clutching my gut screaming at her that she put dairy in my latte rather than soy LIKE I REQUESTED. She denied it and called me a “pretentious white girl for wanting soy”and so my friends got the manager. I had to explain that I had stomach ulcers that were still healing and if I were to go to the hospital for this incident, they would be responsible for it.
Manager flipped his shit and the barista was terrified out of her mind. Pretty sure both thought i was gonna sue. Manager actually fired her on the spot because of the negligence. My friends managed to get me home in one piece while I stayed home for 3 days in absolute agony and missed my midterm.
So remember kiddies, if someone is asking for Diet or “Skinny” or “soy” or anything that is not regular, give them what they requested because it may not be them being healthy, but a dietary need that can possibly be life or death
also if they ARE trying to be healthy you should give it to them to!! Its not your decision to police or question others food choices!!!
also im lactose intolerant AND ive had stomach infections/ulcers so i feel this.
I have Celiac Disease, so I’m very gluten intolerant. When I go out to eat at restaurants a lot of people just assume that I asked for my food gluten free because of the gluten free diet fad (which is usually a bullshit diet btw).
Last month I went out to dinner with a friend at an italian restaurant that had a small gluten free menu. I had been there once before and had their gluten free pasta and it was great! I think one of the managers had been there and was super helpful when taking my order to make sure that everything was gluten free for me. When I ordered the gluten free pasta again this time though, the waitress who took my order all but rolled her eyes at me. I didn’t think much of it at the time, because the restaurant was so accommodating before, I just assumed it would be the same this time.
But sure enough, they brought out my pasta, I ate it, and about an hour later I had extreme stomach pains and was throwing up (in a movie theater no less).
Barfing and agonizing pain aside, eating gluten when you have celiac causes a lot of internal damage that’s hard to notice. The biggest thing is that it damages your intestines, preventing your body from absorbing nutrients properly, which can take months to heal.
So PLEASE, if you work at a restaurant or anything with food and someone asks for something a certain way, please listen to them and don’t just disregard someone’s order. It’s not funny and it can have serious consequences.
I will reblog this with every single story about someone getting sick because of an asshole giving them the opposite of what they ordered until it sinks in for everyone.
Recently on the news a 16 year old boy with a dairy allergy had gone to eat at IHOP with his family. The specifically asked if they could make dairy free pancakes and they said yes. Not too long after he had a reaction and was rushed to the hospital. This kid died because the was dairy in his pancakes that they asked for no dairy. His epi pen that his mother had wasn’t enough to help him. I know working in fast food or any job that’s serves food and beverage sucks but not as much as causing someone to get sick over negligence.
My youngest cousin – who is now five, he just started kindergarten – has Celiac’s disease. You would not BELEIVE the amount of times I’ve heard my aunt say she’s ordered something gluten free, only to watch the waiter or waitress’s eyes go huge when she gives it to my cousin – my cousin with the medical id band on his tiny five year old wrist proclaiming I HAVE CELIACS and have to take it back. Shit like this could kill my cousin. Knock it the fuck off.
I cannot tolerate caffeine–it makes me have chest pain and a racing pulse, and also gives me horrible body pain, so I always ask for decaf if I order coffee when I’m out, and doublecheck with the waiter/ress when they bring it. but instead of saying “is this decaf like I asked for?” I always say “oh, did I remember to order decaf?” I shouldn’t have to act like I’m the forgetful one (because I know damn well I asked for decaf) but it seems to work better than implying that they screwed up when I take the blame on myself like that. and if there’s any hesitation when they answer, I tell them, “if there’s any doubt, please get another one, or just give me water–if this is regular, it’ll mess up my heart” and lots of times when I say that, they look alarmed and go change it or get another one.
but I shouldn’t HAVE to share my personal medical history with strangers just to get my order right! no one should! how is it their business? it makes me really uncomfortable to have to do that. JUST GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ORDER!
I’ve reblogged this maaaany times before but there’s a few new stories on here so i’m doing it again.
cut this shit out
don’t be that kind of asshole.
