PSA.
when tagging triggers, please please please don’t use fancy fonts or formatting. tag them as “trigger tw”. if you tag them as anything else, someone’s filter might not be able to catch them. it could make someone uncomfortable. it could trigger someone.
“but i say in my rules what i tag things as!,” you might say. other people might be checking out your blog for the first time and not have everything in your special format blacklisted. someone could have not specifically blacklisted your formatted tag version of a tag they need. not to mention, it can be a lot of work for a person to go through all of their filtered tags and then add in your fancy version of the filtered tags.
i understand how fun formatted tags can be !! they’re a lot of fun to set up !! but when it comes to tagging triggers, please don’t use fancy formatting. it’s not worth risking someone else.
even just shortening it to “// trigger” or “trigger //” or anything along those lines can and will slip through tags. it doesn’t work unless it’s what you have tagged. if you have “asphyxiation tw” blacklisted, “// asphyxiation” or even “tw asphyxiation /” won’t be filtered out. fancy symbols and multiple spacing makes it worse.
this also counts for doing it in a reverse order. if you have “asphyxiation tw” blacklisted, “tw asphyxiation” will not be filtered.
please use the standard “trigger tw” ( or “trigger cw” if you must ) format for tagging things. if you don’t, it will not be filtered, and you could accidentally make someone very uncomfortable.
we want people to be comfortable here, and people being able to blacklist what they don’t want to see is important. keeping someone comfortable and not being upset/triggered/made uncomfortable is more important than losing one of your fancy tags.
an added note : please tag mentioned triggers not as “trigger mention tw” but just as “trigger tw”. most people don’t think to filter the tag for the mention as well as the trigger itself. there’s also a divide between people who tag “trigger mention tw” and “trigger ment tw” which only adds to more that might slip through. you can also tag as “trigger mention tw” but please also use just the “trigger tw”.
we want people to be comfortable, so please be mindful !!
edit : i was asked what happens if you just tag the word. this won’t work with filters either. if you filter out the tag “asphyxiation tw”, just the word “asphyxiation” in the tags will not be filtered out. from my personal experience seeing it on the dash, it doesn’t work to only tag the word. it might filter occasionally, but it isn’t by any means consistent. i personally have been startled by things on the dash because the tag was only the single word and not the full tag.
edit : this is fine to let breach the rpc !! it’s important in general as well !!

Eshra to Chief:
“I want to know why you’re scared.”
“I WANT TO KNOW…” Prompts
The slider thrashes in his sleep, breathing labored. His brows were furrowed, lips a tight line, almost as if he were in pain. And if Chief were to wake and be honest, he was in pain. Very much so.
His markings were on fire- literally on fire. Chief could hardly see through the yellow flames that rose from his face stripes. His tormentor, a twisted, dark version of himself, markings ablaze like his own and eyes a blinding white inferno, just smirked. Sadistic. Cruel. Twisted.
"Just give yourself to me," the entity purrs, voice a sickening, twisted version of Chief's own that echoed in the void his mind had trapped him in. "It won't hurt anymore if you do, I promise."
Chief hisses, wild and angered and pained. He hated how his counterpart talked so sweetly like that, cooing promises with a tilt of its head while Chief burned alive. Defiant as always, the slider draws his blades despite the pain he's in, and the shadow sighs. "This little dance again, ̴͈̝̾͠ ̸̪̘͑͗ ̵̯̌͌̽ ̴̜̀̆̕ ̸̼̿͜͜ ̸̫̜̩̃ ̸̛͕̞͈͌̒ ̷̛̼͛̍ ̸̟̅̎̀ ̷̨̙̫̋͂̉ ̶̪̙̝͝ ?"
They both knew how this ended, but Chief still fought. Every time, he still fought. Because he was scared, and that entity knew it.
Chief's tormentor drew his own swords, blades forged from literal fire, the flames starting from its palms and extending outward until it again mirrored its counterpart again. And no sooner did the imposter get into a battle stance did Chief rush forward.
The two clashed, but Chief's tormentor was faster. It got more hits in, the fiery blades leaving burning cuts that glowed instead of bled. The shadow manages to knock one of Chief's swords away- his katana. Perseverance. Chief continues to fight despite the fact, but the entity makes quick work of his ō-wakizashi. Diligence.
Methodological. Symbolic. A message.
Chief will not persevere. He was not diligent. Once again, he will not win this battle.
The entity rushes in, a mirror of how Chief started the fight, and it pins the slider to the hard floor of the void. Panicked, terrified, a wild animal cornered, Chief bites and claws and kicks, hissing and clicking, trying to free himself. A futile last ditch effort to try to come out on top for once.
The entity raises one of its burning blades above its head, tip pointed directly at Chief's plastron, and despite the yellow fire lapping at his skin on his markings and his wounds, the slider's blood runs cold.
A hand raises in defense, and as the shadow drives the blade down, Chief screams.
Chief wakes with a start, heart pounding in his chest and eyes wide in fear, watering in pain. He was shaking, terrified, eyes darting around his surroundings, confused as to why he wasn't in his own little makeshift home in some back alley of the Hidden City. Had he been kidnapped? Was he drugged? His mind whirled with possibilities of what could've happened, why he was here in this unfamiliar place.
Then he remembered.
He'd crashed, fallen asleep in a place he doesn't normally. Not safe. Not safe. That's why that.... thing appeared in his dreams again, isn't it? So aggressively and vividly Chief feels like his stripes are still burning. Still feels searing cuts left from those fiery blades. The burn of a blade made of fire piercing his plastron. It's because he was vulnerable, wasn't it? An easy tar-
A voice pulls Chief out of his frazzled mostly-awake-but-still-exhausted mind and he goes stiff. It sounded worried. Firm, but worried.
"I want to know why you're scared."
--Scared?
Chief is many things, but scared? Scared is not one of them. It is. He is. He's terrified.
"I'm fine." The slider lies easily, his tone sharp and rough, defensive, hiding his fear of his nightmare- of that monster that haunts his unconscious mind- behind his usual exhaustion. "I'm fine," he repeats, softer, attempting to reassure this time. "Don't worry about it."
