ok so i had this vivid nsfwish oneshot of hollice (jake/hollis) in my head but i really dont wanna post it publicly, do you know anywhere i can submit stuff like that anonymously? if not thats cool, have a nice day!

The only idea I can think of is to post it on A03 under a pseudonym or to immediately orphan the fic after you've confirmed its been posted correctly.

If anyone else has any ideas, dont be afraid to share them!

[taz-confessions]

Okay, now I understand why we just had such an influx of activity today!

Actually what was the name of the blog that took over you nasty anons? There was one im sure that accepted submissions, but can't find it

@taz-confessions i believe!

hey, any marginalized group in fandom/communities telling you you’re crossing a line is not a personal attack to you. it’s a wake up call. you can choose to internalize it as a threat or use their advice to advance your maturity and knowledge.

The One Advantage To Being A Bi-Enby Is That I Can Have Sex Dreams With Pretty Much Any TAZ Character I Want -🐰

First ever anon here after some lurking. But I am super worried I won’t fit in. I’m just out here trying to have a good time and the overwhelming majority of asks seem to be super negative? I feel so sad reading all of the anons because, as an outsider, it just looks like people railing on both TAZ content and fan content for honest mistakes.

The blog seems to go on it's own on what type of content we share.

I'm not sure how new/old of a follower you are, but the majority of the posts on this blog are VERY nsfw. It's all anyone would send in for weeks, months. Occasionally we'd get actual show criticism, but it was rare.

My biggest advice if you are worried your asks won't match what's happening: submit it anyways. This blog has over 400 followers but the average like ratio is probably about 5-10 likes every post. If you send the types of asks you want to see, I promise you others will send in more.

Okay, regarding the Taz Slur (also I’m a person of color and queer so I know a thing or two here): this isn’t me making excuses for them it’s just a thing I thought of- Argo recognized and knew the slur immediately, so clint and Travis probably were like “what the most effective way to show this guy sucks? A slur” which I get it’s a weird way to do it but I get it I think- 🥰

Hey someone should pick up the fairy emoji as a pseudonym so we can be snippers/festo friends -🦀

I don’t care about shipping in TAZ the same way I do in more traditional media (movies, shows, etc). Something about TAZ being an evolving story told by a family kind of in the moment makes me feel kinda weird abt shipping, like I’ll wait for smth to be canon first. Ig the characters feel a lot more personal to the McElroy’s so I feel uncomfortable shipping things they wouldn’t want to ship, and also bc idk where canon is going so idk if a character or relationship would change later on.

Yo just so you know, your blog doesn’t come up in search on mobile.

Unfortunately, I honestly do not know why. I have all of the blog settings set for full visibility,

I think that Graduation would be so much better if Travis stopped pushing the Rainer and Fitzroy romance. I love them both but I like the idea of an aroace Fitzroy and I just see no romantic chemistry between them.

I think i wrote too much negative stuff on here about grad but im gonna say some stuff i like about it because even tho me as a listener have some qualms with it, i think if griffin, justin, and clint are having fun with travis as a dm, thats all that really matters. Some stuff i love about grad is the willingness to add some obscure races. Like, when I found out Jackal was a kenku and travis added a warforged i went :O!!!!!! -🦀

[taz-confessions]

Man i feel like a fool. I found out travis had a tiktok account because a cosplayer dueted him. -🦀

Also not to be adhd on pseudonym but when I first heard argos scene in the hell place (forget its proper name and too tired to look it up), it sounds a lot like overstimulation and sensory overload and honestly i never felt more represented in my adhd than what that scene is. And as someone who absolutely projects onto characters, its now canon to me that argo has adhd. -🦀

I’m so glad someone else is saying this about weird fan treatment of Rainer. I use a cane and walker not a wheelchair but there are So So few disabled characters and I was so hyped that my fav podcast had one!!! Who was beautiful and competent and flawed and possible love interest just Great! But fan treatment often makes me feel a little uncomfortable too, I mean I like maplekeene but the way she’s pushed to the side makes me a little uncomfortable. Or how she’s portrayed as either (1/2 🐗)

2/2 Hyper competent flawless inspo porn esq or kinda infantile, which Travis I think hasn’t Entirely avoided himself but seems to be to be trying to, makes me really uncomfortable. And I don’t think her character has gotten the same amount of thought in fan base despite her popularity, she’s just the Disabled necromancer girl which upsets me a bit. Idk maybe it’s because I’m so used to seeing awful rep but it bothers me a little 🐗

Hello, ♿ again, with a response for 🦀 about the ableism and mistreatment of Rainer in fan content. First of all, thanks for being so nice about asking, I appreciate it. There's a few things I notice happening repeatedly that are very frustrating to me as a disabled person. The first is that it's pretty obvious most artists drawing her have never looked at an actual wheelchair. They draw her in these high backed things that look like dining room chairs. That would be so uncomfortable to sit in and so impractical to get around in. If you're going to draw her, do some research on what goes into a wheelchair besides wheels. It can be a fantasy chair and still be actually functional. Another thing I notice is in a lot of ship art of Rainer, she's always being held or carried. It feels really weird and icky to me and I'm having a hard time putting into words why. It's a cute pose if your subjects are abled, but it comes with a different sort of baggage and implications for disabled characters. Those are two things I can think of off the top of my head, there are more, but I don't have the energy to articulate them, so perhaps another time I will try, but for now I hope this explains at least some. Over all, just do your research. Talk to disabled people. Listen to them. And let that inform your fan content. Thanks for taking the time to listen ❤️♿
