Can you share some resources on where you learned to use rope safely? Asking to learn.

First things first, rope isn't safe. Just like driving in a car or downhill skiing or rock climbing you can take all the safety measures in the world and still end up very hurt. Anatomie varies, people can have nerves in unexpected places, missing ribs or ligaments, unexpected emotional responses. Hard points can break and ropes can snap or slip. You must understand, accept and consent to that before you start.

Saying that, there are many things you can do to mitigate harm. For bottoms, learn your body, learn how to communicate, learn what feels wrong, get comfortable saying no and stop even when you want to continue. For tops, talk to your bottoms, learn their individual bodies, learn how they communicate, pay attention to little things like how their breathing changes when things don't feel right or how they sink in when it does.

After that, know that no single resource or instructor is infallible, we learn new things about rope safety and the human body all the time. Even a very good tie can be unbearable or dangerous on the wrong body. I will say that as far as online resources go shibari study is a good place to start. I also suggest going on fetlife and finding local classes. Learn from many sources and you will become far better at recognizing what good rope instruction looks like.

I have a fairly full inbox I’ve been meaning to get to. I’ve had a lot going on with family and in life and haven’t had the spoons to reply to people. I will try to get around to it in the future. That being said I saw this and thought it would answer at least a few of the asks I have so I thought I’d share it.

BOTS AND SCAM COMMENTS ON AO3

WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO SPOT THEM

okay, I thought I should make this post since there has been an influx of scammers plaguing AO3 comments section and people are falling victims to them. so here it is;

WHAT THEY ARE

so far, there are three main types of these scam bots

bots that tell you AO3 is deleting works, and that you should delete the works yourself because your entire account will be affected if your works get deleted by AO3

bots that tell you your works are terrible

bots that tell you they want to draw comic panels from your works

ALL OF THESE ARE SCAM WITH MALICE INTENTIONS

bots that tell you AO3 is deleting works, and that you should delete the works yourself because your entire account will be affected if your works get deleted by AO3 are just trying to get you to delete your works, most certainly because they want to steal and/or use your works to train their AI and, once you delete your works, it becomes extremely difficult, almost impossible for you to claim ownership of your works when the original works have been deleted. AO3 IS NOT DELETING ANY WORKS.

bots that tell you your works are terrible are also just trying to get you to delete your works, most certainly because they want to steal and/or use your works to train their AI and, once you delete your works, it becomes extremely difficult, almost impossible for you to claim ownership of your works when the original works have been deleted. (more examples here and here)

bots that tell you they want to draw comic panels from your works are trying to hack your password, personal data and credit card information (they will say they see potentials in your work and are interested in drawing comic panels from it, and then they will ask you to discuss this with them on discord where you will have to pay/commission them for the “comics” you will never get, but you will get your password hacked, personal data and credit card information breached and stolen instead, do not fall for them).

HOW TO SPOT THEM

what all these 3 types of bots have in common is that;

most of them (keyword, most, not all) are guest users or empty accounts that have just been recently created.

their comments are all the same copied and pasted scripts that they mass leave on lots of authors’ works at random.

they will ask you to contact them outside of ao3 by giving you their discord, or instagram, or other social media handle.

their comments are all vague, in the sense that there will be no mention of any specific characters’ names, no mention of any specific scenes or events from your works (granted, they need to be vague because they are bots, they never actually read your works, and they have to be able to use the same comments on other writers’ works too).

EDIT: I’ve been told they got “smarter” and are now mentioning characters by names and also specific scenes from the story. Most definitely because they ran your fic through AI and let AI write comments for them. So basically, if a comment, from someone you don’t know, ends in something along the lines of “I’d like to draw a comic panel about this”, “can we chat on discord (or anywhere outside of ao3)” or anything that’d require your email or other personal information, always assume that it’s 90% a scam.

report them for spam then delete their comments when/if you get them.

please spread this if you can. us writers gotta look out for each other. stay safe, everybody ♡

EDIT (Dec 10, 2025): NEW TYPE OF BOTS WHO THREATEN PEOPLE WITH LEGAL ACTIONS

EDIT (Dec 15, 2025): BOTS IMPERSONATING LEGIT USERS, WITH REGISTERED ACCOUNTS, BY USING THESE LEGIT USERS’ AO3 NAMES AS THEIR GUEST-USER NAMES IN THEIR GUEST COMMENTS

EDIT (Dec 22, 2025): BOTS PROMOTING THEIR APP/PROGRAM AND ACTING AS AN AD (WHICH I BELIEVE IS AGAINST AO3’S POLICIES) ON COMMENTS SECTION

EDIT (Jan 16, 2026): BOTS TRYING TO PASS FOR GENUINE COMMENTS BUT FAILING AND ACCIDENTALLY MENTIONING NAMES OF RANDOM CHARACTERS THAT ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE FICS OR THE FANDOMS

EDIT (Jan 18,2026): BOTS TRYING TO ACCUSE INNOCENT WRITERS OF USING AI, BY COMMENTING ON OTHER WRITERS' WORKS AND TELLING THESE OTHER WRITERS THAT 'THIS WORK BY THIS SPECIFIC WRITER IS AI'

EDIT (Jan 30, 2026): BOTS TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO DELETING AND DESTROYING ALL THE WORKS IN YOUR COMPUTER/FILES/DRAFTS

EDIT (Jan 31, 2026): BOTS TRYING TO ATTACK YOU FOR THE LACK OF TRANS CHARACTERS IN YOUR FICS (DOESN’T MATTER IF YOUR FIC HAS TRANS CHARACTERS OR NOT)

EDIT (Feb 2, 2026): BOTS TRYING TO ACCUSE YOU OF TERRIBLE THINGS

EDIT (JULY 28, 2026) BOTS PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE FROM AO3 SUPPORT TEAM

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN REPORT COMMENTS FROM REGISTERED ACCOUNTS

there are lesbians & now one bi woman i saw on tiktok talking about how women who slept with men disgust them and they only date lesbians because of it and like. i feel crazy because a) there are lesbians who slept with men before realising they’re a lesbian because of comphet (tho these weirdos straight up say comphet isnt real so uh. insane disrespect for other people’s experiences), b) what if one of the woman they previously slept with later comes out as a trans man, c) this is literally just like straight men who say they only want a virgin & find it disguising when a woman has previously slept with a man, and d) you cannot tell if a woman has had sex with a man from her appearance so it is literally just straight up misogyny

like. have fun being alone forever, i guess, cause i really don’t want any woman near someone who is just a misogynist

listen i may take 4 weeks to write a 3k word chapter, and i may take 45 minutes to decide whether i should use “laugh” or “chuckle”, but at least i don’t use ai and whatever you’re getting is pure chaos from a human brain

[headspace-hotel]

everybody talking about the lack of spaces where kids and teenagers can just "hang out" is really coming together with all my thoughts on ecology, lawns, and the way land is used

Many outdoor spaces are not functional for human life. Concrete and no trees makes the world hostile for humans the same way it does other creatures.

Suburbs where every house has a lawn that is basically decoration cause the houses to be spaced far apart, which makes walking very difficult...

The harder to exist in the outside becomes, the more people become focused on the virtual world, which causes the outside to become treated as less important, and people have less ability to imagine an outdoor space that is nice to exist in

The trouble ultimately is that the earth's surface already exists and is free. Simply being in a certain position in three-dimensional space is something that you inherently can do as long as you can walk there, unless someone stops you.

But our system is that a person has to pay someone money for every aspect of existence, in both space and time, even though space and time are both inherent qualities of the fabric of the universe.

So, spaces that someone can exist in for free are kept hostile to human life

Another day, another doggy you can’t pet. Meet the dhole (Cuon alpinus). Found widely across parts of Asia from India to China to Indonesia, this social canid typically lives in groups of up to 12 individuals. Sometimes it even socializes with other groups of dholes to form “super packs” of more than 30 members! Teamwork enables these hunters to take down prey ten times their size. And unlike many other species of canid, dholes allow their pups to feed first on kills. Their diet includes pigs, deer, and buffalo.

i know that butches are usually the ones who assume the caretaker role, but when are butches going to get the same princess treatment they give to others.

i wanna drive a butch around and pay for their dinner or take them out shopping. being masculine doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be taken care of :(

[bambibonnieboo]

"Stop hyping up ugly mascs/butches/studs just cus they're mascs/butches/studs!!" As if people (both queer and not) are not constantly criticising, harrassing, harming and blatantly dehumising mascs, butches and studs because they don't live up to your idea of what a woman should be like. FUCK YALL!!!

This idea of superiority other queer people have over each other is honestly disgusting, and I'm over it. We're a community. You aren't into butches? I can assure you they do not care. But stop bullying your own community and ignoring all of the beautiful and brave queer people who came before us and fought for you and me.

Lesbians wouldn't be where we are if it weren't for butches and dont forget that.

Butches make the world spin around!❤️

God I am sick and tired of people uwu-washing indigenous American history.

Did the Inca have exquisite building techniques, efficient messengers, and quality waterworks? Yes. They were also an expansionist empire built on violent conquest and the splitting up and relocating of conquered peoples.

Did the Aztecs have a gorgeous capital city built at the heart of a lake, with floating farms and towering temples honoring their fascinating pantheon? Yes. Guess what tho. They were also a violent expansionist empire who practiced ritual sacrifice of prisoners of war.

The Iroquois confederacy had one of the most unique representative political systems I’ve ever heard of, with women taking a forefront in most local government matters too. But their internal peace allowed them to redirect violence to their neighbors, as so often happens with tribal confederations, and they eventually violently conquered the Ohio valley and destroyed or displaced dozens of other indigenous groups.

Even my beloved Cahokia has the graves of sacrifice victims amidst its ruins.

A society should not need to be (and fundamentally cannot be) squeaky clean unproblematically stannable in order to be worth studying and remembering, and pretending that they were is no less disinformative than the European accounts painting them as godless savages.

[restinan]

Likewise, a society does not need to be ethically pure for violent conquest and subjugation of that society to be ethically monstrous.

[dagny-hashtaggart-deactivated20]

Also, a person is not the society they come from, and the moral deserts of that society (or its military, or its ruling class) should not be confused for theirs. The average Aztec civilian may have been complicit in some loose way in their state's imperialism, as the average Japanese civilian was in their military's atrocities in China, as the average American was in the invasion and occupation of Iraq, but no one with a scrap of moral sense would say that's enough to judge that each deserves to be murdered or enslaved. Moctezuma may have been a brutal imperialist cut from the same cloth as the conquistadors who killed him, but the same is not true of the hundreds of thousands of his subjects who died in the Spanish conquest.

[greatwyrmgold]

The uwu-washing is obviously a response to centuries of colonialist propaganda painting indigenous peoples as violent, bloodthirsty savages who needed to be exterminated, or at best to have their culture wiped from existence and replaced with a carbon copy of Christian values.

uwu-washing is preferable to justifications for genocide, but it's ultimately making the same mistake: Reducing entire societies to a caricature far too broad to encapsulate an individual, let alone a continent's worth of cultures.
