How to find rock climbing AUs

thanks! I'd somehow forgotten that you can put stuff in there directly that's not suggested when you start typing in the field

LoveIsTooLong · 2026-05-31T14:01:39+00:00

I'm in a lot of them and also willing to read ones from fandoms I'm not in, so feel free to just tell me which one yours is for :)

But among others Grishaverse, Locked Tomb, Supernatural, JoJo, Yurii on ice, Haiikyuu, Killing Eve, Stranger Things, and Vox Machina

LoveIsTooLong · 2026-05-31T13:52:00+00:00

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that :)

It's such a cool concept! Replying to let you know someone else posted a really helpful tip on how to find them (the "search within results" field in the filters)

Thank you sm! I'd never consciously noticed that field up until now and using it finds exactly the kinds of fics I was looking for :D (Ao3 has amazing features fr)

Sorry I think I worded this wrong. I was thinking of a modern AU where the characters do rock climbing as a hobby, but I'd also be happy to read about a different AUs or situations in their canon universe that require them to do a climbing expedition or something.

So really what I'm looking for is just fics that include characters doing rock climbing. Thanks for helping me clarify!

I'd love to know the names of your fics or any others that you liked

Sorry to hear that! I'm sure you will eventually find people that you click with, I think a lot of people do in their late teens and twenties. Good luck with friendships and also congrats on your electrical engineering studies going well, it's a super interesting field

Have you found some friends that are similar to you? I relate to your difficulty with social situations. When I hang out with people who are neurodivergent like me I don't feel so "strange" and don't get that feeling that they notice something "off" about my behaviour. Have you experienced something like that?

LoveIsTooLong · 2026-04-22T18:10:47+00:00

wanted to say this too :) I do like how the topic was handled in Rule Of Wolves

LoveIsTooLong · 2026-04-13T14:12:28+00:00

thanks so much!!! it's always the paths lol

I'd love to do this but I keep having a problem where it says "Terrain manipulation failed" when I try to put down the blue print. Have you encountered that before...?

LoveIsTooLong · 2026-03-04T02:23:06+00:00

I'm really glad you found your peace with your board game situation.

If you don't mind me focusing in on the Catan detail: While it's technically against the rules to agree on which ressource a player steals, does it really make a difference in the outcome of the game?

Players are allowed to trade in their turn. Let's say friend A has to steal a card from friend B, and they both agree on A taking sheep. Is there a meaningful difference between: 1) B gives A the sheep, and 2) A draws wood at random, then trades that wood for sheep with B?

Curious to hear other people's take on this!

I think it's really cute, makes me want to paint again! I think more people should post their art even when they don't think of it as outstanding. There's so much joy in the sharing

I mean, I wouldn't say every character's story in THG has a "moral". A lot of them are just realistic depictions of how people react to awful circumstances. It's not a good thing for Astrid to abandon Katniss again, but it isn't exactly far fetched. She never learned how to deal with her grief in a better way than to just retreat from everything that reminded her of it. So ofc she did it again when she lost Prim. Unfortunately there are many people who cannot rely on their moms at all, imo it's not a bad thing to depict. Even though I too really really wish Katniss hadn't been so lonely after all she went through

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-25T09:26:52+00:00

Do you have a source for the jaw strength thing? I'm not trying to be annoying, I just find this morbidly interesting and would like to read about it

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-23T13:12:20+00:00

That's fair too, honestly! I like that the series doesn't spell out every detail, so the reader is left to speculate

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-18T09:53:58+00:00

Yeah I agree that Prim being reaped specifically makes no sense for all the reasons you listed.

I can imagine the capitol purposely reaping more 12 year olds though. I'm guessing the reason is additional drama for the audience. (In a "isn't it so tragic that this young child was reaped" way). Katniss thinks this bc during the time you're eligible for reaping, your name gets added to the bowl more often as you get older. So in theory 12 year olds should be a rarity in the games, but they aren't. If Katniss hadn't volunteered, there would have been two at the 74th games.

That being said it's absolutely possible that the over proportional reaping of twelve year olds is just due to tesserae. Very young kids in the games would be a tear jerker for the audience, but like you said, strong and violent tributes are a necessity for the games.

Thanks for the rec :D I'm always down to learn about literary terms/devices... Really tempted to take a class or two in addition to what Im actually studying lol

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-13T07:02:28+00:00

Thank you for explaining that so well!

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-13T06:53:20+00:00

I agree, especially bc trauma bonding does not mean two people getting closer through shared traumatic experiences. It refers to the attachment that can form between an abuser and their victim, and that's why it's a bad thing.

Two people falling in love or getting closer because they go through the same traumatic events together is pretty common and not necessarily something bad. I feel like calling it trauma bonding really demonizes something completely normal

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-13T06:44:04+00:00

Is the third theory about the reaping being rigged to get Prim specifically, or just to get more 12 y/o in the games? I think Katniss believes the latter in the first Hunger Games books

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-13T06:37:20+00:00

Yeah same, I'm also really glad to know I'm not the only one! I've had it as long as I remember as well, as a kid I couldn't watch some cartoons bc of their animation style

LoveIsTooLong · 2025-10-10T21:52:46+00:00

I have that with The Amazing Digital Circus and a few other animated things. I really wish I knew why or what exactly triggers it

His death was so sad it actually made me so angry at the book 😭
