I Don't Think I Ever Posted Them But I Still Have Some Of The Very High-res Character Reference Sheets

Okay Hazbin Hotel fanfic creators.... We have to talk.

Please for the LOVE of all that is good Learn to Tag! 😭

I know tagging can be hard to learn. Im still learning about tags in this app (btw let me know if I need to add tags to this post or any of my posts)

This is a Big pet peeve of mine that I can ussually ignore but I have never seen it as bad as this Fandom.

Here is the thing team. Just because the couple appears in a few lines in your 7 chapter story doesnt mean you need to main-tag the relationship. This is particularly bad for the Charlie/Vaggie tag.

There are additional tags you can use instead such as "background <insert couple>" or "established <insert couple>"

The primary relationship tags are typically only used for relationships that are predominately part of the story or have a direct impact. Just because charlie appears doesnt mean her relationship tag needs to appear.

Also if you intend to break a couple up in like the first 5 paragraphs just tag it "past <insert couple>" or "<insert couple> breakup"

I just went in to the Charlie/Vaggie AO3 tag and nearly the whole first page is everything BUT charlie/vaggie fics.

Like I get it as a cannon couple if you are writing say an Adam/Lucifer fic or a Huskerdust fic then Charlie/Vaggie will probably be a couple in this fic but you dont have to tag them as a main ship unless their relationship impacts the story. Tag them in additional tags instead.

Its great you want to tag so people are aware but the thing is if everyone tags everything using tags to filter becomes Useless.

Im also pretty sure this isnt the only tag that is crowded with over-tagging.

Here are some resources if you have questions about tagging

And this one is users referencing common tagging methods and common rules most writers apply.

it's just that there's a few more steps you have to take that other people don't have to take, but they don't see the steps, so they think you should be able to hop from moment to moment, a chickadee.

it isn't getting out of bed. it is the weight, the hook in your chest, the anchor. you have to move the anchor first. you have to silence your alarm, but your phone is in your hand, which means now you have to put the phone down, which is too-hard. you get stuck in there for a while, the white screen, mindlessly scrolling. you don't even like this activity, have tried a few other options but - here you are, and time is passing.

you've googled iron deficiency causes depression and if i drink enough water does it help with mental illness and anxiety but no caffiene within the last two weeks, like how you googled am i gay quiz at 17.

it isn't just calling the doctor back, it's the anxiety, it's these little moths in your lung cavities, furious and fluttering. you need to figure out how to capture your fingers from between their nervous bodies. you are an adult, you can say the words yes hi, i'm calling because i need - but you need to practice first. maybe write it down because what if you misspeak, wouldn't that be embarrassing. write it down, but you need to find a pen first. well, actually, your desk is kind of messy. you should get a new pen. you should get a new organizational system. you should try journaling.

your grades in school were always strange. the way teachers would say things like it feels like you're not trying. you could touch stars in the stuff you cared about. well, sometimes. god be willing. homework average zero. oops! your english teacher's wrinkled brow: i know you know this stuff. what the fuck are you doing?

it isn't the showering, it's the mirror before the shower and the soft horrible pull of your naked physique. you have to avoid eye contact completely or else it'll be 93 minutes later and you'll have picked at your skin until every little pore is bleeding. you have to stand up but standing is tiring and also you should have remembered to buy more soap but you never remember anything. maybe get out of the shower and while it's still running and you're still dripping wet, use your phone to take a note. make a note to get your groceries. let the shower run while you stand half-in half-out and get lost in your phone for a moment. come back out when the water runs cold and now you have to sprint to get ready.

your grandmother's frown. you're just being lazy. protestant work ethics in a house that isn't even protestant. she says she just learned different but she means learned better, doesn't she.

it's not that you can't send the email, it's that your hands have been hurting lately and the desk really is messy and also why the fuck would you even care about this thing? doesn't everyone else feel like they're drowning? hi brendon thanks so much for sending! will review and get back to you shortly. but now you're on the internet, close the tab with tumblr on it. go on, close it. feel the little soft vapor of boredom come up and over your eyeteeth and make everything overwhelming and itchy.

literally all you have to do is put on shoes to go outside. you're literally already dressed, that's the hard part of this whole thing. literally just put the shoes on. just... do it! do it! this shit is easy!

it's literally that easy. just stop taking all those stupid invisible steps. stop following your strange made-up rules. times like this, even you're positive you're faking. you just don't want to bother with the cleaning and the cooking and the being-an-adult.

but then - shouldn't you be able to put these stupid shoes on? nobody's even looking. go on kid. life is out there! just take the leap!

get moving.

Pt.1

The thing about ADHD is that the "lack of reward chemicals in your brain" doesn't just mean that you don't want to do any tasks that don't feel particularly yummy :(, it means that your brain will look at chores and tasks that need to be done like "doing this would be painful and tedious for absolutely nothing to gain from it, Do Not Do That." The same thing that your brain tells you about everything else that would feel really bad and hurt the entire time that you're dying. The part of your brain that stops you from doing the thing is the same part that keeps you from shoving your arm into a wood chipper.

With unmedicated, unmanaged ADHD, "I have to do this assignment or I fail and my life will be ruined and I die" feels like a SAW trap, every single time.

While I was going through my followers to check for bots I saw this person (obviously on the younger side) complaining about what people are writing fics about

As a reminder for newer fic readers

Don’t like, don’t read

Read the tags, if something will trigger you move on

It is not the authors job to make you happy, don’t harass authors if they write about a topic you don’t like

AO3 has a great filtering system. USE IT! Any tag you don’t like just filter out. If you read a fic without tags/warnings that is your fault for deciding to read without knowing the possible contents of the fic

i’m seeing ppl complaining that Dehya is fake catgirl bc her cat ears are just hair, but for me it makes it 1000% better bc like. She’s this tough, no-nonsense hardened mercenary and every day she takes time to style fake cat ears out of her hair. and they are not just triangular buns like Keqing’s, no, they are specifically ear-shaped, she clearly intended them to look like cat ears.

and it actually fits with her idle where she checks her make up in a little mirror, but hides it hastily so others won’t notice. like she clearly cares about her appearance, but pretends not to, and the cutesy cat ears are like whatever, no big deal, as if it wouldn’t take a lot of effort to style them. just like when she does smth nice for other ppl she pretends she didn’t do it or that it was nothing much, despite like giving everything she had. incredible character choice i love it

Everyone thinks Husk and Angel have a wild sex life, because of how Angel is... But it's all soft kisses and praise and check-ins. It's good, but it's not wild, especially not in the beginning.

No one expects the really kinky couple to be Charlie and Vaggie... But Vaggie has religious trauma and Charlie's sex ed course came from her uncle Ozzie. They are not vanilla in the slightest.
