sticky post is sticky
heyo! mermaidfangs here. this is my journal, in which i mostly rant about really ridiculous personal drama. often, i talk about fandom. i am opinionated to an unfortunate degree, and if i say something that makes you go WHAT THE FUCK WHAT A CANTANKEROUS BITCH, i'm sorry (not sorry), and please feel free to call out my assumptions, biases, internalised -isms, assholery, moments of inconsideration. i am terrible and a drama queen. this is not me being modest or cutesy. it's really true. turn back around because i am the worst. seriously. don't count on me.
anyway, i've come to understand that there's no such thing as a "safe space." we're all too much of fuckups for all that. but i would like it if this could be a place where i can talk openly about whatever i'd like. so, considering that: this is just a warning that i may say things you won't like, but i will try to warn for character bashing/hate and when you're about to encounter a really shitty opinion, stuff like that.
i talk about potentially triggering things. i tag my warnings as following, and you can set up LJ to have these tags not show up on your flist:
tw: rape
tw: intimate partner violence
tw. drug abuse
i sometimes say stuff like, "i hate white people", so if you're not about that, you might want to fall back. reverse racist misandrist here.
sooooo, i'd love for this to be a space for discussion. i really like talking about shit. i like it when people say shit that makes me go, "wow, i've been thinking about this all wrong." i promise i am openminded even if i'm a tempestuous cunt. i consider the opinions i held even a year ago, and wince because i've changed so much. but i am very sensitive about violence against women, rape, and race, so tread lightly on those fronts, my dears. it's an emotional minefield for me. we wouldn't want you or me getting exploded, yeah?
what i cannot abide: any hate of kara thrace. if you're not about that kara thrace life, that's your business, but please don't say shit like, "i just don't get her" or "she's not my favourite type of character", or "i know you love kara but i'm just not a fan" etc etc, it doesn't matter how innocuous. i'm not into it. it hurts my feelings a lot. so please just don't. (i mean, do whatever you'd like on your own journal or in public spheres, just not here).
my fic is all over the place. most of the recent stuff lives here at ugly_sobbing, everything is unlocked. all my older stuff (like kara/lee and kara/kendra, etc) is over at my dreamwidth. the masterlist doesn't work, but it's pretty much all fic, so you can scroll back with ease. i'm working on uploading my shit to AO3...and possibly here?
