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 came downstairs and the first thing out of mom's mouth was a smile and "you're so beautiful"

.... (;ﾟuﾟ) ty?

Then I sit down and my sister is just smiling at me. I mean, we do this thing where if we make eye contact, the other flashes an acknowledging smile. And then we stop. But she kept smiling at me. It was making me nervous.

Do... do they want something from me?? ( ﾟεﾟ；)

"You're so preeeetty" she says

BUT FOR WHY

I'm in the same clothes as yesterday. In my normal in-house ponytail. What's different!?

So niece was like "you're ugly. Does that make you feel better."

Yeah that balances out a bit. It's something niece would say.

Then bro messaged me saying "damn, you look super average today!"

Lmao

Just. What.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

"if you ship this thing it's because you're too naïve to understand that it's toxic and that you wouldn't like a relationship like this" actually it's because I see one of them as a mentos drop and the other as a bottle of coke zero and I want to watch the mess they'll be together

Fic so good you read the comment section like a dog licking an empty dog bowl for remnants of flavour

Screeeeching at this meme a girl I went to high school w posted recently

first time I ever went to the animal shelter and picked out my own animal was surreal. we had so many animals growing up but we never picked out any of them. and sure that’s normal for cats. they just showed up and we adopted them. but it didn’t end there.

we had a ball python because my mom was on a walk with her friends, saw it on the ground (this was Ohio) said “woah! that’s not native!” and put it in her purse. we advertised but never found the owner so we kept the purse python.

we ended up with a corn snake during a hurricane because my mom went out to get one of the cats and the corn snake was so little it came blowing through the air like a branch and my mom reached out and grabbed it out of the air to save it.

actually the point of this post is lost because I typed this far and realized the universe was maybe just sending my mom snakes specifically.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

Man, I'm so tired and foggy

I can't even bring myself to do happy fun things.

Like drawing or working on needlefelt. Or read my fics 😭 having such a hard time with fics AUGH

Not to even mention the fact I need to work on my room. Never mind the HOUSE which is. So very bad right now.

But those two are more executive function things..

I've been getting better sleep, this shit is supposed to be doing better what the fuck

You know? I like the idea of radioapple. And the fact alastor is aroace he and lucifer fight like an old divorced but got together for insurance and tax benefits it's funny to me. Just a platonic old married couple nothing more. Bitch talking eachother and would go like.

Alastor:if you were my wife I'd put poison in your coffee.

Lucifer chuckling mischievously: if you were my husband.

*lucifer voice getting deeper for no reason*: I'd drink it.

As a french person, it's kinda funny to me when fanfic writers make Alastor speak french, and it's always things like "Bonjour mon cher, je t'aime" you know, typical french words from the main France french most people learn here and there.

The thing is, Alastor knows french creole from Louisiana, which isn't the usual France french most people know. Alastor would speak like "Bonjou konmen to yê?" Or "Mo laimm twa" instead ahah.

Also, there's different versions of french creole, the one from Louisiana is not exactly the same from Antillean Creole or French Guianese Creole. If you want here's an example to what Louisiana Creole sounds like!

So yeah if you want to spice up your fics and be more accurate with your Alastor speaking french creole, dont be afraid to look out for Louisiana Creole expressions instead of the typical french you'd normally use! Makes it more fun and more accurate 💃
