Tokoyami: The World Is A Dark, Broken Place.

Love writing an absolute war crime of a fanfic. I did zero research outside of the one Special Interest aspect of this fic. I am purposefully mischaracterizing your fave to have a plot. I have entirely disregarded canon. The best part? I don’t care if anyone likes it because I’m only writing it to get the words to exit my brain.

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

Tsuyu: All I want is cuddles and all I get is struggles.

Sorry for making your fave a troublemaker whose shenanigans no one will ever believe because in canon they’re “well-behaved”. It will happen again.

Another silly quiz

Mina: What would you do if I told you to hand over your pronouns?

Kaminari: Oh cool here you go.

Sero: Don’t you know there’s a shortage?

Kirishima: What’s a pronoun?

Bakugou: I don’t know why I hang out with you all.

I personally am a crop top person but that’s just me

*Laughs in penguin*

At every household in the world, at the very same time, penguins appeared. Mostly harmless. But everyone who talked about it disappeared. We learned after the newscasters disappeared, and then the friend who mentioned it first, then everyone who posted it on FB. It’s beside me as I wri-

It is that time!

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.
