hi, my name is siren! i write and edit as well as occasionally chew drywall over various fictional characters. here are some links to follow if you want to get to know me or check out my stuff!
I just found the earliest email I ever sent from my email address, and it’s the funniest goddamn thing I can possibly imagine a fourth grader sending her teacher:
(Context - my fourth grade teacher was on maternity leave, and the state of the classroom fish tank was dire under the substitute teacher’s tyrannical rule. The class convened at recess, and decided to inform our (24yo, new mother) former teacher of the situation. I was selected as the duly appointed representative for this solemn communication.)
i mean this in the gentlest possible way but if 75% of what you’re posting for a given fandom is fuming rage spirals then maybe just maybe it’s time to take a step back and consider whether or not you’re actually having any fun with this optional thing you do for fun
In my weak defense I’m in a lot of smaller or old fandoms and you take what you get. Also i don’t usually use the exclude option and i love when the crack is treated seriously.

That post that’s like “Ummm thoughtcrimes don’t exist but most ppl who say that aren’t talking about thoughts they are literally TALKING about their thoughts and saying thoughts out loud is bad” is the whole reason we have to keep saying that thoughtcrimes don’t exist. Talking about things like your intrusive thoughts, urges, or desires is NOT actually the same as acting on them; thoughts are not something you can control and nobody deserves to be condemned for not suffering in silence because they’ve been convinced their thoughts are unspeakable. If you’re out here promoting acting like a cop about things that don’t even harm you or anyone else then maybe take yourself down to ur local sandwich shop cuz maybe you’ll be less of a cunt when you’re not hungry idk.
It’s EXTREMELY telling how many of you stopped supporting this after “intrusive thoughts” and completely ignored the bit about urges and desires. Not everything “unsavory” has to be excused because of “suffering from intrusive thoughts.” That’s true, some of us are also fucking freaks who unironically enjoy nasty things that others might find uncomfortable. People still deserve spaces to be nasty freaks and they still aren’t committing a crime just because you have a squick. This is why we have tags, blacklisting, and a block button. You don’t have to engage with anything that upsets you; we don’t have to bury our thoughts/feelings that aren’t broadly socially acceptable for you.
