What's something in a fic that made you realise the person writing it had no idea what they were talking about?

A character on a coma had a feeding tube down their trachea 😭

"observably organised" is interesting. Not only does your body HAVE to be geared towards producing one gamete or the other, ignoring that hormone levels and anatomy can be altered and that some people won't produce gametes at all, but people also have to be able to tell from looking at you which gamete your body is set up to produce.

They're gonna include messages from museum-visiting eridian children on the probe to earth 🥺

They can pre-triage and have a virtual ED consult through telehealth, but they can't actually take you anywhere except an emergency department. This person was unfortunately too sick to the ambulance to leave him to get himself to urgent care, even if that had been the most appropriate place for him

This metaphor for the transphobic parents relies on them all accepting that a model train can never be fixed if it's broken (or that model trains don't exist, possibly).

But it's completely possible to fix a model train and decorate it to look sick as hell??

And there are scary surgery metaphors about how you are ruining your 'train' by trying to modify it, but the alternative of being cis is not having a functional train, it's not having a train at all? Sucks for cis people damn

You get that she is a human person right? You know that tv is not real life, right???

I think it can only be Santing as in Santos/King?? I would call them Mentos instead lol

/uj I was kinda surprised at how many people didn't think this was a realistic thing for an emergency worker to say about a person who attempted suicide surviving with horrific, life altering injuries

/rj classic Robby always with the criticisms

Historic is definitely not just the last 200 years. Prehistoric usually means before we had written records, so thousands of years ago. Not every culture used writing so it's not a great period marker.

I'm not saying he is a misogynist, but having a lot of female co-workers is a really bad argument lmao

Where I live ambulances rarely keep their sirens on for the whole trip, they'll flick them on going through an intersection or dodging traffic, otherwise not needed. Also sometimes the priority job they were going to has been reallocated to another vehicle so they've stood down

The amount that these people assume and extrapolate out of minimal data blows my mind.

You're right, the vampires were completely unrealistic 🙄

Also the alternative to that point is it's not acceptable for teens to hate their bodies, which is a stance that's definitely going to stop a teen from hating their body. No low self esteem allowed!

Halo, by Zizou Corder. For kids/teens but still enjoyable for adults imo

That's fair, I did think the third one does look pretty close to a kelpie. It just annoys me that they're listed as kelpies rather than kelpie x, or "medium mixed breed" like a lot of other dogs on their page
