Main character trios are meant to end up as a polycule and you can’t change my mind

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

i'm literally the priest's favorite sacrificial lamb because i am so docile and sweet and i hold very still when they put the rope around my neck and i trot along so happily while they lead me to the altar and they do not even have to tie me down because i lie so very still and only bleat once or twice in my lovely lamb voice and when the knife comes down it cuts through me like butter and i offer no resistance and i bleed so prettily all over my new white wool and my guts all unspool like the most beautiful shining yarn and my eyes are animal and dumb and hold no accusation and every time i die i come right back as another little lamb because the priest loves me so so much and he always chooses me for the sacrifice every time and he always places one hand on my small and twitching nose to calm me while he lifts the knife and he doesn't do it for the other lambs only me because i'm his favorite

Been thinking about a headcanon I have for Darlin lately

Darlin has a proclivity for imitating accents and ways of speaking. It's something they picked up since their family moved around a lot before they joined the Shaw pack.

After they spent time around Milo, they started to mimic his accent, which led to some misunderstandings between the two. Milo thought that they were making fun of him, until he saw them doing the same with Christian and they finally just sat down and talked about it. It was laughed off and just accepted within the pack as one of their quirks.

When they got mixed up with Quinn, it happened again. Except he wasn't one to laugh it off or believe them when they swore they weren't mocking him. They were such a terrible person, ridiculing how a person spoke, right? It was just another reason why they should be grateful to him, for being with them despite all their faults. (You know, typical gaslighting on his part)

Darlin tried to not do it when they started seeing Sam, but once they were living with him, it started to slip out. They imitated his Southern twang or his sayings. And every time they worried if they'd offended him, if they'd hurt him. That's what they were good at, after all.

It wasn't until Sam laughed softly after they'd slipped up, pulling them closer so he could press his lips to their cheek.

"I think you've been spendin' too much time with me, Darlin'. If my accent is rubbin' off on ya."

#SAM AND DARLIN HAVE MY WHOLE HEART😭🙏

PLEASE GOD. GIVE THE MAN A BREAK. GIVE THEM BOTH A BREAK.

Since we did #FreeSunshine2023 last year, can we do one for Avior this year?

#GiveAviorABreak2024

Like, please, one cozy audio. One audio where e.g. Avior is watching Starlight go through their night-time routine and then they fall asleep in each other's arms. Or one where they go for a walk in a park. Or one where Starlight shows him how to cook their favourite meal. I would even take a reverse-comfort audio where he has a nightmare and then they decide to go stargazing.

ANYTHING, PLEASE JUST GIVE HIM A BREAK.

Guys imagine earlier relationship David and angel where they’re driving together and angel starts messing around when the roads aren’t busy by playing with David’s hair or putting their hand on his thigh and David just pulls over abruptly and tells them they need to knock it off and angel being confused because they were just playing around and David just keeps shutting them out and not elaborating because he doesn’t want to be vulnerable just yet he doesn’t want to tell them about gabe so they sit in silence and don’t talk about it until he comes to apologise to them the next day still not mentioning why he was upset but still taking a step forward to approaching the topic

three FOUR anarchy accounts, that all post nothing but antifa memes, followed me in less than 24 hours. And like, idc, but nothing has ever given me stronger "waving to the FBI agent surveilling me" vibes. four antifa-bot accounts? you want me so bad it's embarrassing.
