Did I just see, in the year of our lord 2020 on tumblr dort com, someone use the term 'squick'?

Do we not use squick any more?

Did not get that memo

had I received the memo I would have lit it on fire

[ruffboi-mags]

Squick is a useful word that allows you to say “I don’t enjoy this and am in fact the opposite of enjoying it, but there’s nothing wrong with you enjoying it.”

It’s a good word and the only reason I can think of to want it to not be used is bc it flies in the face of the purity police’s wanting to make all things they personally dislike “problematic” and “gross”.

[prismatic-bell]

Squick is also a useful word when you don’t want to misuse/dilute “trigger.”

Example: I am deeply squicked by descriptions of characters eating in a messy fashion that would leave food and grease all over their faces. I don’t have any trauma or phobias associated with it, so it’s not a trigger. And it’s not something that’s widely disapproved of, like, say, murder, so it’s not something you’re likely to tag for. (After all, how many “cute” photos have you seen of Baby’s First Attempt To Use A Spoon?) I just think it’s really gross, and if it pops up a lot or in detail it’s very likely to tank my enjoyment of what I’m reading, so I’d prefer not.

That, dear children, is a squick. I am squicked by messy eaters.

Please bring the word back in 2020. It’s incredibly useful.

Looking for a fix with sub!blaine is Kurt is not a dom or sub and Santana is Blaines dom

Here you go. - HKVoyage

You Are Mine by @alexofthegarden

Every sub grows up dreaming of their perfect Dom, and Blaine Anderson is no different. He soon learns though that perfect isn't what he thinks it is, the best things in life don't come easy, and sometimes the future is even better than our dreams. *Klaine Endgame, D/S world*

Note: Part 1 of You Are Mine series.

[alexofthegarden]

Hey! I hope everything is ok. I just wanted to let you know I just reread You Are Mine, and it really made me smile.

Aw, that’s so sweet. I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to finish Raising Serena, but I’m glad that You Are Mine made you smile :)

“But it’s the law.”

Yeah. It was the law then too. You’re literally proving the point.

adulthood is just telling yourself “and after i’ve done THAT i can finally relax” with increasing desperation

[alexofthegarden]

Yes, but it’s never ending, there is always a next.

[nifrequerne]

I often wonder what happened to authors of unfinished fanfictions.

[everyoneinspaceisgay]

I hope they’re having a nice life

[ts-virgil-angst]

we absolutely are not and that unfinished fic haunts us to this day

[alexofthegarden]

So. Much. This.

[na-page]

[alexofthegarden]

Is the scene you’re talking about absolutely necessary? Otherwise maybe just skip it and refer to it with the essence? Of course I don’t know what I’m talking about, but maybe it can help? I just want to try and help 😉

That’s an excellent question that I’ve been trying to figure out for a while now. :)

For those of you asking about Raising Serena. If I could only write THIS stupid scene, I just might be able to move on with the chapter. Damnit you two!

fic writers raise your hands if you like…forget what happens in your own fics

[alexofthegarden]

I don’t have a single clue what happens in most of my fics beyond overarching storyline. Which leaves me a perfect story to read every time (except for all the edits I want to make.)
