loz twitter was briefly trying to decide if the hero of time can read. i genuinely think the answer is no

[blueskittlesart]

"the hero of time doesnt know what doors are" is good. but allow me to present a second, funnier option,

[vibrantgutz]

[loveless-endless]

this is the holy trinity

[fuckofffanpol]

that's... not how it works. you can't guarantee that your work definitely won't squick anyone. what do you think you're saying?

[the-bar-sinister]

"squick free" someone writes on their wholesome family fic about married characters expecting a baby.

I read it and am extremely squicked.

You do not know what squicks other people. "Squick" is not a category of elements, it is a description of a reaction.

[actualaster]

Squick is literally a personal thing, you literally cannot know what squicks another person.

Same goes for triggers, by the way. You can't guarantee something is trigger-free because literally anything can be a trigger because the human brain can be weird like that sometimes.

[skaars-treasure-trove]

No no, actually there's a perfect way to write an absolutely squick free fanfic! Plenty of writers do it successfully every day!

Blank documents squick me out because they remind me of all my unstarted writing projects. :/

Okay, for anyone ACTUALLY unsure and wanting to learn: "squick" is an old fandom term. It means something that grosses you out or makes you deeply uncomfortable, but doesn't give you as intense negative reactions as a trigger. They are incredibly personal, though often times, just like with triggers, you can tag relatively common squicks.

For me, mpreg is a squick. It makes me deeply uncomfortable, but it doesn't send me into a panic spiral, a deep depression, or make me angry like reading about eye trauma does.

[nightingalesighs]

My cousins in Lannister, ‘squick’ didn’t even originate in fandom.

Also useful to note that ‘squick’ is specifically used to mean “this isn’t for me, personally” without adding a moral judgement to it. A simple easy way to say ‘no, thank you but you do you’. Unlike ‘cringe’ which has negative connotations. Squicks are also more than just uncomfortable.

Daddy kink makes me uncomfortable

Degradation squicks me out

Hand trauma is a trigger

[darker-than-darkstorm]

First known usage of "squick" was in 1991. It's not some new term that was made up for this post.

[moniquill]

It's a portmanteau of Squeamish and Ick.

Modern parlance would translate it as "A thing that gives me the ick"

Hope this helps, kids ignorant of and derisive towards fandom history.

[punchspeedchunk]

'Squick' is the word we need to be bringing back for all the people who have misappropriated the term trigger, because they do not know that words mean things, and that those meanings are very important to keep distinct.

[purpleisdebeste]

I’m sorry Orpheus i was too harsh on you…

[purpleisdebeste]

i was in the physics lab today and we were working with lasers, so the Lab Freaks (legal name) were being very careful to stress that we Do Not Turn Around or Look Behind Us because we’ll get extremely blinded by the power of high strength lasers

and i’m not gonna lie it was actually extremely hard to resist turning around. i misjudged orpheus it turns out this isnt extremely easy actually

[purpleisdebeste]

okay i’ll be honest i 100% looked back at the lasers. actually multiple separate lasers multiple different times. they were pretty

and i didnt get blinded. so clearly lab safety isnt real and you should always risk it cus taking risks is awesome #gambling

but uh. my ass is NOT making it out of the underworld 🔥🔥🔥

A big part of being a quadruped is being able to just lie down anytime. Waiting? Loaf time. Talking to someone shorter than you? Loaf time. Falling asleep in the sun? Loaf time. Bored? Loaf it up till something interesting happens. Leg hurt? Loaf time.
