Ehem, eh hello Tumblr. I’m Nika. I’ve been writing Hunting Grounds; a Travis and oc story but with a plot that feeds into canon events.

I liked the idea of sorting through the timeline and exploring the more interesting characters (especially those that didn’t get screen time).

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I understand stories with OCs aren’t everyone’s jam, but I will say I’ve been loving all sorts of Travis related content on here! I wanna get to know how y’all approach writing our favorite grumpy cop.

Y’all wanna talk headcanons feel free to hmu- also, if y’all like my writing then… maybe … you’d wanna hit up my ask box with some requests in future… perhaps.

One shots mainly!

Hi. Hope you're having a good day. Do you have any advice on overcoming the fear of being mass reported and losing your account. We've seen an influx of people saying to not harrass others, but preach about loving mass reporting. Our fics are not that "taboo". But we still fear that if we try to actually write what we want, we'll be mass reported. We've blocked as many as we could, but more keep showing up. And we don't want to lose all our hard work.

You might not see/reply to this and that's okay. We just felt like getting it out/off our chest. Thank you if you do reply. Have a wonderful day regardless.

if you post your works on tumblr, or any other social media platforms with censorship then yes, anything could be reported and taken down.

but if your fics are on ao3 then you don’t have to worry about that because mass report is literally not a thing on ao3 — because on ao3, a fic can be reported by one person only. if a fic has already been reported by someone and then someone else tries to report that same fic, the site will literally tell them that “someone else has already reported this fic and the fic is under review, so the new report made by a new person does NOT go through.”

and because being anti censorship and hosting “fics that were reported and banned on other platforms” is literally the main reason why ao3 was created in the first place, no fics that have been reported for being too taboo are ever taken down from ao3.

the only way a reported fic can be taken down is if it actually does violate the site’s terms of service: such as the work section of the fic is not fanwork, the author tries to monetize their fic, the author mentions donation on the notes section, etc. these can all be taken down because they violate the site’s rules, not because they’re taboo.

the most taboo, most disgusting, most morally messed up fic you can think of is allowed on ao3, because that’s the main reason why ao3 was created in the first place.

fun fact: ao3 literally has a team of lawyers ready to defend artists and their works, including the most taboo ones.

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)

and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger

and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!

yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!

EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!

Please stop naming fantasy men things like Kaelthorn Vaelrith Shadowbane and then making him emotionally identical to a guy named Tyler who punches drywall.

For all that the 1800s etiquette guides are--obviously--derangedly sexist from a modern perspective? They're also mindblowing in how casually they will assert things that MODERN DAY CONSERVATIVES would scream and cry and shit their pants about.

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )

"Delete all the nudes and sexts after a breakup or you're a piece of shit" has been the standard expectation since EIGHT. TEEN. EIGHTY. FIVE.

[mylordshesacactus]

"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."

Anyway I was wrong the publishing date is actually 1882 so like.

"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."

So like @ the modern Republican party, are the "traditional family values" in the fucking room with us right now--

I didn't promise anybody anything. What do I know about Hollywood, anyway? Just a dream I got from sitting through too many double features. So why did you leave the swamp in the first place? 'Cause some agent fella said I had talent. He probably says that to everybody. On the other hand, if you hadn't left the swamp, you'd be feeling pretty miserable anyhow. Yeah. But then it would just be me feeling miserable. Now I got a lady pig, and a bear, and a chicken, a dog, a thing, whatever Gonzo is. He's a little like a turkey. Mmm, yeah. A little like a turkey, but not much. No I guess not. Anyhow, I brought them all out here to the middle of nowhere, and it's all my fault. Still, whether you promised them something or not, you gotta remember they wanted to come. But that's because they believed in me. No, they believed in the dream. Well, so do I, but... You do? Yeah, of course I do. Well then?

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.

please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.

one of the best parts of making up increasingly wild and specific aus with a friend is sending them posts like "this is sooo blorbo in torture chamber au number 15" and they reply back like "YESSS btw have i told you about my latest idea for how to torture them even more" and you get to enjoy a little snack and kick your feet with glee
