Hi everyone!!! Just wanted to say I will be posting a new chapter for each of my stories in the next 2 weeks!!!! So keep an eye out!

[frostbittenbucky]

Yo this man is on god mode

When I think of Dick and his acrobatics

This is what comes to mind

[badcushion]

Oh it’s easy he just throws his entire body up over his head over and over again, easy peasy.

[higglety]

He flipped out of his got-dang pants

[cipheramnesia]

When he reaches enough momentum that gravity becomes the secondary force affecting his body, it's amazing.

[greatmountainfloofsquatch]

The amount of control required...

[brightlotusmoon]

This is a damn ninja.

[crystaltoa]

Get this man to be Iroh’s stunt double for the live action series.

[lookarounditsbeautiful]

On a second watch, pay attention to the people around him! Some folks literally don’t notice him at all but then the background guy in the like third to last or something was clearly just saying “damn” over and over again and watching him really intently and managed to kinda catch the flipmaster coming out of his moves! So hilarious

[luna-0092]

Fucking amazing!!!!

[fanficmemes]

I wish all writers who haven’t been able to write in a long time bc of depression a very I love u and I promise u will write again

[luna-0092]

This has been me and many other writers. Just take your time, don’t rush to complete anything. Focus on yourself.

[steakandcheeeese]

Lmao you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be using the word squick. Use trigger. Use your grown up adult words to explain how you feel instead of leaning on a cutesy uwu term that no one outside of tumblr uses. It’s embarrassing.

Idek if this is serious or ironic honestly

[steakandcheeeese]

#like...why use this baby word when you can just say how you feel about it

Found this in the original post tags and I just... SIGH

Here’s the thing, anon. Squick isn’t just ‘I don’t like this’, it’s ‘I think this is gross and it makes me deeply uncomfortable but I pass no judgement on those who enjoy it, because I acknowledge that everyone is different and those same people may have the same visceral reaction some of the things I enjoy’ and was originally made popular in the kink community.

So yeah, if you want to say that every time you come across a trope or whatever you find icky then go ahead, say that every time.

Also, this term dates back to Usenet in the early nineties, so sure, go off.

[sugarfey]

This frustrates me so much because squicks and triggers are fundamentally different things and as someone with PTSD, the distinction is super useful!

Squicks are things I find personally gross but may not be gross to someone else. They don’t upset me or provoke my PTSD, they simply do not pop my corn. Example: Omegaverse. I don’t like it, it makes me uncomfortable and I’m not going to read it, but if you like it, you do you.

Triggers are things which directly provoke my PTSD. This means that my triggers may seem completely normal and innocuous to someone else, because my triggers are so personal and intrinsically linked to a specific event in my life. My reactions to these triggers can include panic attacks and flashbacks to this traumatic event. Sometimes being triggered can affect me for several hours or even days.

Describing something as either a squick or a trigger allows me easily establish the difference in my potential reaction to something without having to go into painful detail about why bodily fluids might make me back button quickly but poker games might leave me a crying wreck. 

[oopsabird]

Making this distinction, and having a specific word for something that is not your slice of pie, but also not an actual psychological trigger, is also REALLY important for making sure that the word “trigger” can retain its original, specific, purposeful, and collectively understood clinical meaning (both inside and outside online fannish communities).

If we encourage everyone to lump things that just make them slightly uncomfortable or simply aren’t to their taste in under the word “trigger”, it actually dilutes the meaning of the word. It makes it harder for us all to, for the most part, collectively agree on and understand what exactly is being described when the word gets used.

And that destruction of shared precise definitions is a problem! It is really useful to have the communal language to be able to clearly and quickly delineate between “this grosses me out, no thanks” and “this is going to set off a trauma episode, rattle my brain, and probably throw off the rest of my day/week as a result” while also maintaining your privacy, and to know that you will be understood in what you are saying. Not having it is actually detrimental to the effort of making our communities safe and navigable for people living with trauma. Which is a goal that is much more important to me, personally, than the idea of not being “cutesy” (a word which in this case which sounds a lot like it’s being used as a euphemism for “cringe”).

(Also, one has to wonder if people told Shakespeare he was being childish when he made up entirely new words that are still widely used in the English language today...... 🤔)

[mumblingsage]

My understanding is that “squick” was also created to avoid using more judgmental terms like “gross” or “disturbing”--like yeah, I do find X kink gross or disturbing, but that’s my personal feeling, not an objective fact about the world, and if I’m explaining to my friend who is super into X that I’d prefer they leave it out of the story they’re writing me in the fic exchange, I want to use politer language!

“Squick” does sound silly, like onomatopoeia, but I think that’s part of its role--it’s a word that defuses if, again, you’re saying something squicks you in front of an audience that may include its connoisseurs. When I say I’m squicked, I’m clearly not getting onto a high horse of dignity and moral righteousness. At the same time I’m not being so indirect for the sake of politeness--”oh, it’s not my favorite thing, I’m not sure it works for me, I haven’t found a fic about it that clicks for me”--that someone could misunderstand how much I do not want to see it.

[ruffboi-mags]

And, to reiterate, it is a grown up word made by grown up nerds in the 90s so if you think it was somehow born on and limited to Tumblr I'm going to need you to actually do some fandom history research before you ever speak authoritatively again about anything fandom-related or adjacent.

[littlethingwithfeathers]

I love and deeply miss the term “squick” and really want to see it brought back. It allows dislike for its own sake and without judgement. It’s polite, gentle, and has an air of “you do you.” A squick is not a trigger. Triggers are related to trauma. You’re allowed to not like things and not have them related to anything other than just finding them unpleasant. And that aversion can be strong! That’s okay! I really don’t like watersports. Like, gag-reflex levels of aversion, but it’s not triggering. I just really don’t like it.  I feel like we’ve lost the right/ability to just... quietly not like things and move on with our lives. Not everything is for everyone, and you don’t need a reason to not like something. Just politely and quietly excuse yourself. No need to draw attention, and if someone asks you why you just say, “No, it squicks me out.” No judgement. No narrative necessary. 

[lilykep]

There is a sad trend of trying to make everything you personally dislike morally reprehensible in some way to justify your dislike of it. You're allowed to just not like something for no real reason. You do not have to justify why you dislike something, and the word "squick" is perfect for that. It say "look I really really don't like this thing, but it's ok if you do" and that is useful.

[ruffboi-mags]

I think the biggest problem is that a lot of these kids are VERY into the whole fandom purity culture thing, so they actually DO want to make it out to be morally reprehensible, and they DON'T think it's ok that other ppl might be into it.

[neil-gaiman]

Cheerfully using “squick” since 1992, because it means a specific thing and other words do not mean that thing.

[luna-0092]

I used this word it can mean triggers or something that’s just not your cup of tea. Use it how you feel like, not how others want or think you should use it.

Let’s turn on the light!

Hi everyone!

I had the idea to make this blog in response to recent developments in fandom that can make it feel like a harsh and unwelcoming place.

It doesn’t have to be.

One of the things HP has taught many of us is, to treat others with kindness and respect. And that’s what I aim to do with this blog – sprinkle some kindness in the fandom, and shine a light on the good things.

You are all invited to join me!

You can give someone in fandom a shout-out for something nice they did for you. Or maybe you wanted to give someone a compliment for being a good friend.

Anything really, as long as it is positive and supportive. :-)

Besides that, you can also give a shout-out to a gorgeous story you’ve read that only has a few comments (especially for bigger pairings, I consider anything under 300 comments as “few”).

Fanart too! Just don’t forget to credit the artist, so they get the support they deserve… I’d love to see smaller artists be posted, but basically all are welcome.

Let’s see what good the fandom still produces, almost a decade after the last film premiered.

Let’s show everyone what fandom really is about – community and support. <3

PS: The blog is open to all HP pairings. And I request that everyone remember to respect each other. <3

I can now share this one-shot I wrote for the Harmony & Co. Halloween Fest, Double Double, Toil and Trouble

Prompt: Harry and Hermione had been dating for nearly two years when Harry disappeared on an Auror Mission. Finally giving up hope after nearly three years of searching, Hermione goes to Godric's Hollow to make her peace with Harry so she can move on. Only, Harry's not dead, and he's no where near ready to let go.

Been A While Since A Post

Hey everyone.

It's been a long while since I posted kn Tumblr. Anyways, I've been writing, been participating in fests and comps. I did forget a comp and actually wrote it in under a day. The real life has been kicking my butt and it is crazy hectic.

I hope to continue my writing soon. Keep an eye out for the next chapters of A Witch & Her Viking, Wild Ember, and Hermione's Pack. All three have the next chapters partially written.

SNEAK PEEK! CHAPTER 2 OF A WITCH AND HER VIKING

Thorfinn Rowle cheered as loud as the rest of the graduating Hogwarts students. Students still in Hogwarts, cheered also. Glancing behind him, he noticed the witch that captivated him. He glanced to the chairs behind the younger students, and noticed his father watching his interaction with the young witch.

Cursing softly, he turned back toward the front.

"Now, all graduating students, please stand." The students stood, "I now deem you witches and wizards ready for the future ahead." Dumbledore then shot multi-colored sparks out of the tip of his wand, the students followed, cheering.

After the ceremony commenced, Thorfinn was barreled into, breathe whooshing out of his lungs. "Finn!"

when there aren’t enough fics of your otp

[luna-0092]

Idea brewing!! Send help!

Above said idea has completely brewed in my head. I've been in a Hermione/Rowle kick lately. I've had sooo many ideas. Fortunately, only one has stuck. Unfortunately, one stuck. I can't think of anything else! None of my fics have been worked on lately, that's due to a new job and RL kicking my ass. Plus, WRITER'S BLOCK! Sigh... I hate it sometimes. Anyway, for now, I'll now be working on this one until my muse comes back from vacation. Sorry to those that are hoping for an update soon. It is just not coming out!

[luna-0092]

I, unfortunately, have had no time to update any of my Fics. I have started a new job and it's kicking my a*s. Hopefully, I can get some written tomorrow as it's my day off. Fingers crossed.
