My silly little hyperfixations

This could have very well been a twitter account but IRL people know me there and obviously I am too lazy to create another

I will be doing so fine until my silly little distraction is over and then suddenly I’m sad

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

I did not know this, but it makes so much sense, and it's SO good to learn fanfiction history.

i love how much sea has evolved in variety/behind the scenes material because everything he appeared in during vice versa era, he was acting very shy and prim and proper. now? he's actually a stage 10 clinger, possessiveness issues, won't let anyone breath. truly my littlest gremlin.

cherry magic is what I need in life Rn. No post show analysis, no heartbreaks, no surprises, no suspense, no hidden messages or reading between the lines. I don't need to watch with my brain, I can watch it with my heart 🧡

(It's anyhow useless since my brain malfunctions the second Tay smiles)

I think p'aof writes a rooftop secene and then builds the rest of the story around it.
