Dude Out For Curiosity I Checked The Comment Section In One Of Your Ai Tiktoks And It Gave Me A Headache...

“the author’s barely disguised fetish—” WRONG it’s the author’s barely disguised religious trauma again

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.

2am

Inspired by the latest SUIT episode where Mr Technodad says Technoblade used to swing around a minecraft sword irl at like 2am and recite video lines

ctommy is a pigeon. We took them out of the wild, and domesticated them. Trained them to be our messengers, used them to fight our wars. And when we didn't need them anymore, what did we do? We left them, abandoned them. Now we look at them with annoyance and anger, treat them as pests as an object of blame for our problems. They didn't want to change. They've only adapted because we made them.

Another completed drawing! Nick and Charlie ofc 🤍

Wow I haven’t posted in a minute lol. Anyway Technoblade fanart in 2025?? Yes.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

Gender Dysphoria 

Its not like you don't like the way you look, it not that you can't change who you are. It's the fact that you hate yourself, it's the fact that every fucking moment you hate the look of your chest, too flat or big

You hate the look of your hair, to feminine, to masculine. You hate the shape of your body, the way your eyes are tired and the way you are perceived, 

You hate the Dysphoria it gives you to be called a boy or a girl. You cringe every fucking time someone calls you she, or he. You hate yourself, so fucking much and it hurts. It hurts so much to sit and cry in my bathroom floor, my parents asking what's wrong, everyone asking what happens to the little girl or boy that I used to know.

 And then you give them the answer, the answer that you dread, the answer that lingers in the back of your mind, the answer that they force you to hear.

And sometimes it feels good to hear the words that you hate, 

But other times it's just as painful then when you say it in your head.
