You’re in your 20s saying seggs and unalive… Maybe worry about that

[hawkeabelas]

you're allowed to say "sex" on the internet. See? I just did it. Sex. Sex sex sex. You don't have to say s*x or smex or Adult Fun Times or s3x or "spice" any other variation of self-censorship on tumblr dot com you can just spell out the word SEX i am going to scream until the heat death of the universe

[batrogers]

Just say rape so

A: filters catch it properly!!

and

B: the people who want to engage with it can find it!!

"noncon whump" please just say rape the former just makes me think of a whumpee being all "i don't want to be brutally tortured thank you"

Thank you to everyone supporting the “it’s a body suit but it’s the angel equivalent of nude colored” agenda.

Been entertaining myself by trawling through the Shen Jiu/Original Shen Qingqiu tag on AO3. Started reading fics from the oldest to the latest. So far, I've reached fics that were last updated or written in 2023.

One of the fics I encountered was peppered with the words "fuck" and "shit". That's just in the first chapter.

I've got no problems with curse words in fics. You know what made me click the Back button?

The curse words were written as "f*ck" and "sh*t".

And one of the characters was saying "fuck" over and over, but it's written as "f*ck".

Authors, please, I beg of you, don't censor curse words or terms you deem sensitive . It ruins the reading experience. AO3 will not delete your fics or ban you if you write out words such as "slut", "fuck", "shit", "kill" or "rape". How can you convince your readers on why these words should be on your fic if you can't even get yourself to write them as they are?

Okay okay. I'm going to ricochet on my blog a little bit today in the sense that I have like three different things that I want to talk about from three different medias uhm. First thing. I'm just gonna say it now and I'm trying to think of it from an outside perspective because me saying this I'm being so silly over it but from an outside perspective it's like. Yeah okay. Anywho uhm. So apperently. D.octor Who has two hearts and. Therefor two heart beats. And for some reason my first thought was "oh hey that's nice" and not. Some sort of shock or anything. I'm not even the type of person that goes all out with like yknow. Looking up those videos of a heartbeat and sticking it under your pillow and laying your head on it and being all relaxed like that like youre laying on someones chest so I don't know why the guy running in doubletime is catching my interest with it. Maybe it's because it actually we actually hear it? And so it didn't like. Hhhhururhrht. It's one of those things that on paper you just shrug your shoulders at and then it happens and you're like OH!! OHHH...!! Yknow it's like yeah sure whatever getting flowers, that's cheesy I want something more and then it happens and you're like WHAT? THE HELL????? FLOEERS? FOR ME?!?(or something like that. Just something as a comparison I don't know.) And. Why do I have several.things to say about this

[crimeronan]

like 5 weeks into hydroxychloroquine i'm regaining the energy to be giddily excited about stuff which is fun because i keep getting flappy about luz and hunter and other various fandom-related and original-fiction-related things & the happy wiggles power me enough to write and do chores and work and such. the lupuses had robbed me of 98% of this energy for an entire year so it's delightful to rediscover this in myself, i'd legitimately forgotten how it feels. every bit of excitement is a new and fascinating treasure

the downside of this, though.

is.

i am. SO annoying.

[floraleevee]

WHYYYYY are so many people self-censoring?!

It’s not s*x, it’s sex. You’re not h*rny, you’re horny. Say it with your chest, you coward

[sylvieons]

one of the things that i really don't like about taylor swift's music is that we know so much about who each song is about, like i'd love to listen to all too well without thinking about jake gyllenhaal for 10 minutes you know?

except when it's about tom h/iddleston obviously then i'm sucking it up like a vacuum, studying it under a microscope, analyzing and overanalyzing, claiming songs are about him that probably aren't even about him (hint they're about him)............

13 year old honey would think my art right now is fucking INSANE. and that makes me feel so happy. i feel eons behind everyone else, but, art is so delicate, it feels like if you aren't perfect then you aren't good -- but like. i have to see it this way: holy fuck, you DREW that!! you made that out of nothing!! your skill is on the paper!! i have to view it through that simple lens. it's not gonna be the most perfect thing you've ever seen. but ... at the end of the day, you MADE THAT!! and if you keep making it, you will get better and better...

i had a whole big conversation at lunch one day and then i talked about it with my teacher (humanities/I&S/social studies whatever you wanna call it- just somebody who teaches HISTORY) as she was on duty and we all agreed.

it's rape.

it's death.

it's murder.

it's killing.

it's genocide.

it's nazi.

it's you're-a-fucking-idiot and you're doing nobody any good if you don't say the fucking word. say nazi. say rape. as a woman it's worse if you don't. the fact is rape is awful, don't beat around the bush. it's uncomfortable to say the word? imagine being raped! grow some fucking balls it's not cool to not say the fucking word and i'm so sick and tired of people pretending like it's some he-who-must-not-be-named shit. OP is right, it's hiding and it's cowardice and it's not cool and it's not smart and censoring yourself is just weird

Once when I was a kid my dad told me to “stop being a you-know-what”. And we’d done the whole song and dance enough times that I knew he meant “bitch”, so I told him: That’s cheating. You know what you mean, and I know what you mean- you’re just stepping around it so you can pretend you’re on the high ground. So if you’re going to call me a bitch, at least have the balls to actually say it.

And it’s been about fifteen years since then but I’m just now figuring out that that’s the same feeling I get hearing shit like “grape” and “unalive”.

If your audience knows what you mean, you might as well actually say it. Otherwise you’re just fucking hiding
