not linking it here because I don't want to put some random fifteen-year-old on blast but I just read a west side story fic where anita casually mentions getting kidnapped by a dungeon. open the schools
#west side story #not a lizard
#and to think the other day i was rolling my eyes at a queen fic where everyone was just #assuming the legal protections afforded by the treaty of reykjavík were in place #it could always be worse thanks op
why does no one in the entire flicker fandom know how to tag their fic properly
#flicker #flicker the musical #not a lizard
if I filter for "esper au" it means I am looking for esper aus. limelight showing up in one scene does not make your fic an esper au. do you understand the concept of an au

no, you don't get a free pass to mark your fic nawa just because the characters who die are minor characters in the musical. they were literally! the primary pairing! in your fic!
#seriously #what is wrong with some people #flicker #flicker the musical #not a lizard
I don't care if you put in a paragraph about how they're totally just doing it to reduce backlash, if your fic literally has dalisay and limelight fucking that's dalisay/limelight not dalisay & limelight
#nothing against dalight #but I really thought I was clicking on dalisay/xav smut #not one paragraph of dalisay and xav talking about how they're still a couple #followed by a fic full of dalight smut #nsfw text #flicker #flicker the musical #not a lizard
this one might be kind of petty since it's not like it's why I clicked on the fic but the "adoption" tag is not for "one character talks about how the other character is basically like a sibling to them"
#the found family tag is right there if that's what you were going for #flicker #flicker the musical #not a lizard
what I need you all to understand is that these were four separate fics by four separate authors

[reblog of the dalight post]
wow arophobic much. I mean I get that you wanted to read dalixav so you're sad about the mistagging (though honestly I don't even think it was a mistagging, from your description, AO3 just doesn't have a way of marking the prominence of a ship, but I haven't seen the fic, I'm not very attached to this statement). but really, in this case you don't even need to notice that sometimes people have sex with their friends for fun, just because they want to, and still be precisely friends?? guiding is literally a built-in medical reason to do that! the magic doesn't care what kind of relationship you want to have!
the / does not exclusively mean romance! if your characters are fwbs, that's still a / pairing!
