OMG this is perfect! Thank you! My A03 search life is instantly improved!! šā¤ļø
Could someone on this wonderful platform tell me how to exclude tags from my fic searches on AO3? Like, if I want every Spirk fic on the site, but wanted to exclude, say, mirror universe fics, how would I do that? I am terrible at internetting š

Star Trek is so funny. All of starfleet is so aggressively Neutral Good. Every time they're up against something they Always do the noble thing. Every one of these motherfuckers is so ready to jump on the grenade. It's so cute I love them

I often see posts about curating your own online experience that make the point, ācontent creators arenāt your parents.ā And, yes, that is absolutely true! And I try not to be like āas a parent,ā but as a parentā¦
EVEN PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE READING/VIEWING BEHAVIOR. NOT filter everything ahead of time for their kid.
When my kiddo was 5, his pediatrician was asking him the usual Well Child Visit questions (āWhat are your favorite foods? What do you do to get your body moving? Do you know what to do if you get lost in a public place?ā Etc.) and she asked, āWhat do you do if you see something on TV that scares or upsets you?ā
I piped up like, āOh, he doesnāt watch TV without one of us in the room,ā which was true at the time and is still largely true now. She said, āYes, but that wonāt always be the case, so make sure youāre talking to him about what to do if he sees something that upsets him.ā
So we started talking to him about that, and the answer is simple: āTurn it off or leave the room, and talk to someone you trust about what you saw and what youāre feeling.ā
The answer is NOT āAsk your parents to make sure you never see anything upsetting again,ā because thatās just not possible ā and ultimately that would be doing the kid a disservice, since sooner or later heās going to be out in the world where we canāt control what he watches or reads. That doesnāt mean we donāt try to make sure heās watching/reading age-appropriate stuff, it just means thatās not the only safeguard he has ā and thatās a good thing.
So yes, content creators arenāt your parents and arenāt responsible for making sure you never see anything you donāt like ā but also, your own parents should have taught you what to do when that happens. So if they didnāt, take it from me, your internet mom:
Turn it off.
Walk away.
Talk to someone you trust about how youāre feeling.
And leave the person who created the thing that upset you alone.

Dear Fanfiction Readers,
If youāre afraid to leave a review/comment because you think itāll sound stupid, donāt be. Just leave an incoherent reply in all caps. We love that shit.
Sincerely,
A Fic Writer that needs constant validation.Ā

Dear Fanfic writers, I donāt care.
I donāt care if youāve never written before or if youāve written hundreds of fics.
I donāt care if your fic is 100 chapters or just one.
I donāt care if thereās too much dialogue, or not enough.
I donāt care if your character drinks āa hot cup of coffeeā or āa steaming well of carefully brewed fair trade Ethiopian single origin organic beans, contained in an antique blue willow cup with one tiny chip on the edge and mild cracking in the glaze.ā
I donāt care if you use the same pronoun over and over or if you use the word āpersnicketyā eleven times over the course of ten pages.
I donāt care if your historical references are accurate, or if the characters speak in a way that doesnāt fit their environment.
I donāt care if your romantic pairing makes love on a bed of roses at sunset or if they bang up against the wall in a changing room at Walmart.
I donāt care if your stories are nothing but fluff, or nothing but smut.
I am going to read your fics, and I am going to enjoy the hell out of them. So please keep writing, and ignore comments from assholes. We, the readers, love you.
Reblog if you agree!

Still not getting over this beautiousness any time soon.... ššā¤ļø
So I was like āI wanna do this colour in process properlyā and then I was like āwhat would it look like if Star Trek The Animated Series was made nowā and this is what it would look like. Fully canon and ready to explore the galaxy. Iāll do it properly eventually š¤£
