Gosh, bringing back the old fic terms. I was nostalgic until people started saying "I'm too young for this I guess". Ami I old now?

Well... either you’re old now like the rest of us, or you were very precocious and got into fandom at a young age! :)

oh man. whump isn't a thing anymore???

Apparently we leave that up to canon now? The modern grimdark era of TV and the proliferation of non-network shows that can get full-on gory in a way that only films used to be able to seems to have quenched much of our thirst for blood. Which I suppose I’m okay with because my heart has become fragile and gentle with age and if whump were still as big a deal every other fic would probably have Bernie being tortured by ISIS for classified military secrets or something.

i love learning about tags i was the right age but in the wrong place for. but also, are the kids today not using squick? it's so all-around useful!

You know... I’m that rare soul who really dislikes the term “squick,” for two reasons. One of them is totally personal -- I was introduced to the term before I heard it in fandom, and its original meaning is gross as hell, so I shudder a little every time I hear it. Squick just sounds bloody to me.

The second reason is more divisive -- “squick” was often used, in my fandom circles, as a way for het shippers to talk about slash/femslash, and it was this supposedly fault-free way of saying “gay stuff makes me gag” while holding this moral high ground of “it’s not homophobia just a personal preference.” I mean we were still deep in the “WARNING: SLASH!!!! DON’T LIKE DON’T READ!!” era of fandom, and I read so many het fics now with background slash pairings that it may genuinely not be an issue if we bring the term back, but that’s my hesitation!

no, whump means what you think it means, we're just old

I love our fandom retirement home tbh. Wait. BUSINESS IDEA!? Can u imagine. Everyone eating jell-o and watching the 83rd season of Supernatural.

Whump is def Stargate-specific, though it may have caught on elsewhere, who knows?

Fanfolk dedicated enough to click the readmore, report in: where have you seen whump besides Stargate?

Standing in my glass house holding a BOULDER, but: you are so far gone! *cackle* ;D

I’m at peace with the fact that Hackle has taken over my life ;D

YOU'RE A FUCKN HERO [sick bonnie tyler riffs in the background]

you are inspiring me to use this technique to approach my super boring thing

jescissa replied to your post “OK I am supposed to be Doing a Thing today and I don’t wanna because...”

Do the thing! And then do fun things!

THANK YOU FRIENDS <3 I cannot yet do fun things, I need to do more of this thing, but doing this initial 15 minutes has helped me figure out what the heck I’m actually doing, so I am going to try to dive back in for like... 25 minutes and then come up again for air/Tumblr.

it's normal to get acne there long past the teenage years, too. annoying, but not unexpected!

anachronome said: can you please elaborate on your gay dress vibes? i am a dress-wearing gay but not so sure about my vibes tbh.

such a hard thing to sort out! i was REALLY good at gay dress vibes when i had zayn malik’s haircut but i think i’m still managing all right now that i’ve grown it out to a bob…i have this ancient leather jacket that used to be my dad’s that i wear more or less 24/7 & pairing it with a dress and boots tends to work well. the fact that all my sweaters and tights are gradually disintegrating also helps. plus some styling choices serve me well here, like i wear round glasses & my hair is usually p disheveled & i wear a bra maybe 15% of the time & rarely shave my legs. the real test will be if i can still signal successfully when i graduate and am no longer surrounded by other lesbians all the time.

i always have at least one ridiculously broad point in my outline and i’m always like “the fuck” when i start drafting and you would think i have learned but! i have not learned

anachronome replied to your post:I’m tired and stressed - someone send me...

like maybe? : Guinan in her infinite wisdom and infinite hat sees Deanna slump into ten forward after absorbing other people’s feelings for fifteen hours straight after the latest ship’s crisis, and is already pouring her a chocolate-oriented cocktail by the time D reaches the bar; G slides it to her and squeezes her hand a little bit, and the listener and the empath don’t say anything, just quiet looks and steadying breathing and then sips of chocolate spacedrink.

Oh my GOSH this is so magical and plausible. <3<3<3
