Hello from the

SKZ MOVES (1-10/∞)

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

This needs to be reblogged today.

Consenting to see adult content doesn’t mean you should have to see a bunch of shit romanticizing incest and pedophilia you walnut

Except this is the last line of consent before the actual work. So if you’re at this button you have already done the following:

1) chosen to go onto AO3 in the first place

2) chosen the fandom you wish to read about

3) had the chance to filter for the things you do want to see like a specific pairing or a specific AU

4) had the chance to specifically filter out any tags you don’t want to see like, oh I don’t know, incest and non-con and dub-con and paedophilia

5) had the chance to set the rating level if you wish to remove any explicit content at all

6) have read the summary of the story, which aren’t always great but are the only indicator of what the story will be like writing wise so something about it was good enough for you to click on it.

7) have read the tags of the story which will tell you what is actually in the story. If you have used filters to remove stories with things you don’t want then there shouldn’t be anything in here that’s a shock to you but maybe there is. That’s why the tags are there for you to check for yourself.

8) Then you have to actually click on the story. You cannot see anything other than the summary or the tags without personally deciding that you are going to open and read this story.

9) Only here, at step number nine, do you get to the adult content warning pictured above. You have been through eight different steps, the last six of which have also been opportunities for you to see that this has adult content. And AO3 has *STILL* stopped you to ask one last time “are you sure you want to read this because it has things that only adults should see in it”.

If after this point you are reading incest and paedophilia then it’s probably because you specifically went looking for it.

You walnut.

This is the most beautiful thing that I have seen about ao3

Always important!!!!!!

Cannot stress ‘you walnut’ enough

PROTECT YOURSELF!

DO NOT EXPECT STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET TO DO THAT FOR YOU!

The internet is an amazing thing, but it has always and always will be dangerous!  Not sure when we went from “don’t talk to strangers” to “strangers protect my children”, but that’s just not the case. 

When you finish reading a really long fic and don’t know what to do with yourself

JESSICA JONES “AKA WWJD”

This is why Jessica Jones is one of the most important Marvel shows EVER. for those of you unfamiliar with it, Killgrave had mind control powers, Jessica was never even able to put up a fight, but that doesn’t mean she consented. In his eyes, and in the eyes of a lot of conservative middle aged white men (yeah, I’m talking about all those boys-will-be-boys judges), he did everything right: Made her his girlfriend, wined And dined her, showered her with expensive gifts… None of that matters. Jessica never consented, she was in no condition to consent, so it was rape.

Doesn’t matter what it looks like, doesn’t matter if it’s not violent, doesn’t matter if you were passed out drunk or asleep or Coherced Through fear, if you don’t consent IT’S RAPE

My free time includes me time and that means me without you time. (x)

me planning my next fic about my fav character :

everyone else, weeping in fright : please stop hurting him

Introducing the latest competitor in the shipping business.

if you're a writer i wish u a very plot/story/character epiphany

Me starting over a daydream scene because I thought about it for too long

It’s rather offensive that my ideas don’t just write and edit themselves into a perfect novel that just appears on my desk for me to read

I also find this unforgivably rude.

Hi, I’m here to propose that A.A. Milne’s distinctive syntax in the Winnie-the-Pooh books is a major origin of modern Capital Letters Used For Emphasis On The Internet. Observe:

(in which Pooh wryly self-deprecates)

(in which Eeyore masters modern sarcasm)

(in which Eeyore is vagueblogging)

(in which Owl says something i would absolutely type in the YOOL 2017)

(In which Eeyore continues to be a shining example to us all)

(in which Pooh describes a Big Mood)

(in which Piglet has a Relatable Experience)

I could go on, but you can read the books and find your own. It’s a weirdly modern-feeling layer to an old, thoroughly enjoyable story and most of the original Pooh books are online for free. I cited from this online text upload of the book. Enjoy!

holy shit i think you just cracked the linguistic case of the era

In which A.A. Milne is the father of the Modern Internet Syntax, perhaps without meaning so
