One underappreciated thing about visiting somewhere completely different where you've got local hosts to hang out with is when you've gotten used to seeing wild shit that would absolutely not fly at home, and going "wow, this would be illegal where I'm from", but you're chill because when in rome you do as romans do.

And then at some point you're all in the middle of doing stuff and you make that remark again, and your host just goes "yeah it's illegal here too, we're just straight-up breaking the law rn."

And you just go aye, fair enough.

Some people say my dog fighting ring is satanic and shadowy. Some people say it is godly and pure. So who is to say really

Fallout conspiracy theory: Most of the skeletons in funny poses were placed like that by bored wastelanders long after the war.

I'd like to think it's a collaborative process. One wanderer puts the skeleton on an old beach chair. Later, another wanderer sees it, chuckles, and gives the skeleton a sunhat. Another one gives it a martini glass with an umbrella. And so on.

Tbh could 100% see this developing as a wasteland folk tradition to respect the dead who their loved ones never got to bury. Long journies that never came home, so we comfort the nameless dead by sitting them upright to be remembered. Decorated, appreciated, spoken to by lonely travelers while they donate a scarf, or a vest, or a threadbare blanket to the unknown soul.

Can also see whatever region it started in having a whole philosphy about remembering those before to learn from their mistakes, and how laughter is the best tool to open a mind to learning. If we can laugh at the dead, we can understand how rediculous it is to Cease. Suddenly or slowly, we laugh cause We Felt That. And now the bones are no longer revolting, they can be studied. Basically acitvely squashing the Corpse Taboo a lot of human cultures develop as a foundational principal of said culture.

And what one group does is observed by others. Sometimes mimicked, sometimes even taught to visitors... but in time, observers get it wrong, different regions didn't get to ask those who started the practice and had to ask themselves; why do we set up dry bones like they're still people? And answer it to their own satisfaction.

... and if they're the Assumptive and Loudmouth sort, start proclaiming their answer to others at every oppertunity. Irreguardless of correction.

And that is how culture drifts from place to place, different localities having different views on the practice and their own particularities on what's okay or not okay to do with bones.

@copy-claim is this anything idk i dont paly fallout

its a really cool and intriguing concept. i could absolutely see this as canon and i’m gonna believe as such now.

I am so honored by the number of folks who have said "Yeah I'm gonna take this with me" or "Yep I Believe This Now" 💚💚💚 when I shared the concept with my brother, he told me he wants a set of gas station sunglasses permanetly glued to his skull. Alien green, ideally

I never had an mri so I never got the pee your pants juice but I did have a camera shoved down my throat and they said the stuff they’re using to numb my throat or whatever will make me hear buzzing/ringing and yeah it sure fucking did. Could barely hear the doc over that shit. Anyway the knockout juice hit soon after and then I was done lol

one thing about americans is that they know how to make a fucking milkshake

i hate the stupid milk consistency shit you get here like if you give me a milkshake it better be rock fucking solid. i want that thang thick like concrete. it should piss me off trying to drink it through a straw. i should have to wait for it to thaw

Americans are so good at making Beverage. One of our Foundational Moments was actually a party involving Making Beverage. Google "Boston Tea Party" for more

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

i will not deal!!!! that is not how any of this works!!!!

if you see people doing this shit, report it. its against the terms of service.

genuinely. copy the link to the fic or series, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page:

click on policy questions & abuse reports which takes you to this page:

if you scroll down, youll be able to report the fic right there but you can also check for yourself that its against ToS

all you need to do is explain that theyre deliberately mistagging things which is just not a thing on ao3 because its an archive.

by posting your fic there, ao3, has the right to manually recategorise tags. its in the ToS:

you cant deliberately mistag stuff on ao3; it is an archive. you cant tag for reach, and this is likely gonna get pat tag wranglers because they deal mostly with form not content of tags and if theyre tagging for reach, its gonna be the more popular tags.

so report the fuck out of them for it. most likely, their fic will just have tags adjusted and their account will be fine.

and if they keep doing it and get suspended for it, its their own damn fault.

also thats not even getting into the fact that mistagging fics is kinda antithetical to their goal of reaching more people because youre not reaching the people who want to read your fic?
