tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”

if you want to experience life more deeply you have to find more beauty. stop training yourself to dismiss, to mock, to assume the worst all the time — when you do this you build walls between yourself and the world. and after a while you stop feeling the warmth of it entirely.

beauty requires openness. it asks you to let things reach you, to soften enough to be moved. it’s not naive to see beauty everywhere—it’s a skill, a form of intelligence, a kind of quiet bravery. because it is so much easier to critique than to create, to detach than to engage, to dismiss than to love.

let yourself be affected. let yourself find things beautiful and let that be enough. life is not asking you to be cool, sitting on the sidelines and nitpicking everything. it’s asking you to see life and experience it fully.

realizing that the online sphere and especially tumblr is NOT a good sample for ‘what everyone thinks’ is so, so, so good for your mental health and moral OCD. i swear to god. realizing that you don’t have to live your actual life like you’re being hunted for sport because the average tumblr user will hunt you for sport for wording something slightly weird or engaging in the wrong stuff or whatever is so incredible. like no you’re actually not fucked up and evil for not donating or for watching that one indie cartoon or questioning a post that everybody is agreeing with. that’s just tumblrs georg making you feel that way

Saying “this niche, properly tagged, warned, and rated piece of fiction could theoretically hurt someone” is not a good argument. This properly labeled cookie with the allergen information at the bottom that contains gluten could theoretically harm me very badly, but only if I consume it. Tags are like nutrition labels, and warnings are like allergy information. If you know you have an allergy to something, the logic is to stay away from it. It is the same with fiction. I’m not running through stores yelling at people to take all the products with gluten off the shelves just because it could hurt me. Instead I ignore it and go to the gluten free section and find cookies that are right for me. And if running through a grocery store yelling sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is. Stop doing the same with fiction.

Hey, @evilwriter37

I’m gonna need to ask you a walnut question for form’s sake. Suppose you found a blank bag of very generic-looking whatevers but there’s no clue as to what it is. You ask one of the members of staff what that’s about and they say ` “Oh, that’s the John Doe Surprise Special. Mr. Doe has this bad habit of baking at 3am or whenever he can’t sleep. Because it’s the middle of the night, he never knows whether he’s put in [potential allergen 1, potential allergen 2, potential allergen 3 and/or potential allergen 4].” What do you do next?

[evilwriter37]

Well, if you have allergies, it’s very obvious to not consume the unmarked bag. A rule of thumb for me with allergies (irl) and content warnings is: if I don’t know what’s in it, I don’t eat it. It’s that simple. I don’t know if you’re trying to egg me on or something, but no one is forcing you to “eat” the unmarked bag.

preserving good tags

[weaselle]

in keeping with the food metaphor, out in the wild, where there ARE NO LABELS, when you find a food that you do not know if it will harm you (assuming you do not have access to plenty of food you are familiar with) what you do is

You assess it. If you have a nut allergy, you ask yourself if this looks like a nut. If you have a shellfish allergy, you ask yourself if this smells like seafood.

Then you test it. You touch your tongue to it and wait a couple minutes. If you feel okay you take a very small super tiny piece and chew it a couple times and tuck it in between your gums and your lip and leave it in your mouth for several minutes while paying close attention to your body, and see how you feel. If you feel okay you swallow that tiny piece, and you wait about 20 minutes and you see how you feel. If you feel okay you eat a more normal size bite and you wait a couple hours and you see how you feel.

If at some point in this process you start to feel nauseated, or headache-y, or ill in any way, you decide not to eat that thing.

OR. You don’t eat it until someone you know and trust has consumed it and tells you it doesn’t taste of nuts or shellfish. And even then. You proceed with caution.

You decide for yourself. You exercise care in what you consume. You don’t walk up to an unfamiliar plant and scarf down a handful of leaves then scream that it should have had disclaimers and warnings all over it when it gives you diarrhea.

Trigger warnings and tags and ratings on art or entertainment are a nice thing to do for people. I try to do it. But we are all responsible for our own immediate safety. We are also social creatures who depend on each other, so maybe that means you don’t read or watch something until someone you trust has vetted it, that’s a great way to handle that. So is finding authors whose labels and tags you trust. But when it comes to fiction and the communication of ideas, there are a billion things that are fine for most people but bad for some, and no way to get a billion labels on it, so… you still have to find your own way.

I will continue to tag and label things as well as i can. I hope i can be a trusted author for many people. But i’m never going to be able to put every warning. Take your own precautions. If you are continuously having issues with content, find a friend that can pre-read/watch and give you all the warnings you need. Take your own precautions.

:33< hai biting you

I choose to imagine that the < in that is meant to represent the top of my torso so you just have the entirety of my head in your mouth as you bite me in some kind of headcrab like situation

[acekoral]

When you said that < is your torso I imagined both 3s to be seperate mouths, so like only the top half of your head is being eaten
