➡️ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy. 

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

➡️ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

Y'all remember that unhoused guy in Korra? The one who was always really chipper? And then when Amon occupied Republic City he smuggled Team Avatar underground with disguises and shelter and food and sent telegrams for them at great personal risk? Whatever happened to that guy? I'm pretty sure he just kept being impoverished and hassled by the police and acting like this was a fun, carefree lifestyle that he chose and enjoyed.

That'd be like if you personally saved the lives of the Pope, both Peyton and Eli Manning, Jeff Bezos, and a four star general at the same time, and then they were like "Alright fam, good luck with your debt, hope you find somewhere to sleep tonight, don't get arrested."

je n’ai rien à faire, donc ce blog. i’m turning 29 soon and staring to panic at my mortality, or, more specifically, where i am in life compared to where i thought i’d be. so here’s me blogging age 29 so when i’m 39 going on 40 i can think about all the ways i’ve grown since.
