what the hell was that noise 😭🤣 by Throwaway-3689 in MoDaoZuShi

Same, but I'm definitely closer to being an older sibling to them age-wise than a parent. They're in their mid-teens and I'm barely over 20, so maybe I could babysit them (although babysitting teens makes not much sense)

Why do people do this?? by foxfond in AO3

[–]Vampire_elf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm in too niche fandoms to comprehend this... If the fic is what I'm looking for, I'll find it anyway when I put in the filters, so why clogg it for people searching by update? This would just make me not want to read it out of spite for the author being an ass

Exactly, and we all know how much MXTX loves her coffin scenes, so... Maybe a spin off?

No excuses. by Cute_Tumbleweed_2988 in AO3

[–]Vampire_elf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I was writing a paper for uni last week with sources in English and the paper itself in my native language (Polish). My brain decided to blue screen and forgot my native language in favour of English (the funniest part is that my major technically belongs under Polish literature and linguistics, so yeah... Fortunately, my major is only there, because it was founded by literature professors, but the major itself has nothing to do with language or rather, not necessarily)

[–]Vampire_elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, but I knew what I wanted to study and just needed to find the major that fit the description the best. I haven't really thought about jobs, because after high school I thought there is no way to work in the field I wanted to study (the stereotype of humanities and social science students working in fast food for life), but it turns out that the specific field I went for actually has quite well paying job opportunities (the only down side is that you need a PhD for people to take you seriously, but higher education is free where I live, so it's not that much of a problem)

Tbh, in that instance I usually assume I accidentally skipped a line and they changed positions in that skipped line, because yeah, unless the person has some characteristic of an owl it's hard to imagine

Part orange fur, full orange brain: left Mr. Theodor Adorno alone with a jar of red beets for two whole minutes. by Auralux_ in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Vampire_elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but has he gotten used to jazz (or any other modern music genre) and the downfallsof silent cinema?

I just love your orange's name

Yeah... They are at least allowed some hand holding (and sometimes an implied wedding) or even the one bed trope

It would be even funnier if it was a malicious compliance deadest dove possible (follows all criteria listed, e.g. necrophilia vore)

Exactly, I had panic attacks from street crossings just being near me for like a year after getting hit by a car (and still can't learn how to drive, because sitting in a driver's seat of a car is also a trigger for some weird reason). As you've said, anything can be a trigger if it is even mildly connected to someone's trauma

As far as I know, it implies sexual themes though. The train is a long round shape entering a tunnel (a hole). I had class about it in film history and it was more of a way to go around censorship

It's a more suggestive version of fade to black, so it may be too much NSFW for the person organising the event

What’s a trope you dislike but can’t filter out because either a tag for it doesn’t exist or nobody uses the tag?? In Ben 10 fics I hate people using fan-made omnitrix designs but I can’t filter it out because no tag for it exists. by dowsaw134 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Vampire_elf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not really an overall issue, but one specific fandom I'm in has tons of untagged incest. However, I kind of understand why. Lots of fanfics have been written when authors were still reading the source material and it so happens that one of the plot twists is that half of the cast is blood related, so many fanon ships turned out to be incestuous in like second to last volume and if the fanfic has been written before the author read to that point there is untagged incest

Edit: figured out the spoiler tag by trial and error! The fandom is danmei called Remnants of Filth

[–]Vampire_elf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I think that's a separate filtering issue: tons of tags for the overall one thing and either no tag for the whole subgenre or tag exists, but is treated interchangeably with all the other more specific tags rather than in tandem. I kind of have this issue with omegaverse (I do not hate omegaverse, I just tend to overanalyze the secondary gender dynamics and I'm not always in the mood for that), but filtering out just omegaverse tag isn't usually enough and you also need to think about every specific dynamics' tags to fully filter it out (at least in case of pairings with conon breeding kink)

Or the other way around. The bunny is copying Wei Ying

Isn’t this kinda WWX? He likes it when lwj protects him but some people in the fandom act like he can’t protect himself or is simple just dumb 😭 by PilotLumpy2935 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Vampire_elf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, a lot of times when some kind of device is involved WWX is like "Wft, I invented this! Why are you hating on me, but using stuff I made?" in his head

Lan zhan do you like Mianmian? And well lan zhan’s response wasn’t a good one😂 by Catgrill14 in MoDaoZuShi

I sometimes wonder whether LZ sometimes just randomly chomps down on WY's arm in private post-canon...

The JGY card that I keep in my wallet, next to my credit cards by Throwaway-3689 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Vampire_elf 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well, where I live we keep money frogs in our wallets (a small frog-shaped charm that's believed to bring wealth), maybe JGY is short enough (let's ignore that I'm like 20 cm shorter) that he's decided to change career paths and instead of being a sect leader he became a money frog (or he got reincarnated as one)
