Me, ass deep in your blog: I bet you’re wondering how I got here…

(It’s because I archive and recirculate a lot of older posts. Those are going in my queue and will be spit out by my whims. Thank you for your service.)

If you want to repay the favor, my tagging system is…

Alice and Bob- (names may vary) Means the post in question has these two characters in it. The more plot relevant character is listed first. Sometimes shippy, sometimes platonic. Best way to search the archives.

Meta- Insights about my fandoms, or fandom as a whole. Not separated.

Femslash- good ol f/f tag

Humor- Funny shit for a rainy day!

Useful shit- guides and the like!

Sad Tag- for when you’re in need of a good cry

Storytime- Cool tumblr stories

On stories- posts about reading and writing

I post ~50 times a day. Follow with caution.

Everyone think back to your 12 year old self and think of something positive to say about them NOW

Please, call me Frankenstein. Frankenstein was my father, but stealing his name and overriding his presence in the dominant cultural consciousness has been really, really satisfying

This is brought on by me seeing a pretty popular tweet where the OP lamented that they found a fic that does not follow the "accepted fanon" and contradicts another, seminal work of fanfiction by an esteemed fan author (but not the source material, from my understanding). Which both baffled and fascinated me.

Some of the Death Note's rules are really funny if you think of them as clarifications for users, necessary fixes to address exploits, or bugs that the Shinigami king isn't going to fix.

• If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a person's name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. -> patch to fix exploit where users would attempt to brute force killing someone by writing every possible name in the Death Note
• However, if the Death Note owner intentionally misspells the name four times, the owner will die. -> Patch fix to stop exploit where users would try to grant themselves immunity
• The person whose name was misspelled four times on purpose will not be free of death by a Death Note. -> Necessary clarification because users thought they could grant someone else immunity
• If the same name is written in two or more Death Notes within 0.06 seconds, the entry is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Notes will not take effect and the individual will not die. -> Rare bug related to When the same name is written in two or more Death Notes, the Note which was used first will take effect, regardless of the time of death. Root cause is server requests first check if the same existing request was already made. Simultaneous requests assume the other request is valid and delete themselves. Will Not Fix. Bug is rare and fixing it could result in new exploits related to repeatedly writing a person's name in the Death Note.
• When you write multiple names in the Death Note and then write down one cause of death within 40 seconds of writing the first victim's name, the cause will take effect for all the written names. Also, after writing the cause of death, even if the conditions of death are written within six minutes and 40 seconds in the human world, the conditions will apply only to the victims for whom they are possible. Those for whom the conditions are not possible will simply die from the specified cause. -> Code bug caused by undefined and ambiguous input syntax. Will Not Fix.
• Once the victim's name, cause of death, and conditions of death have been written down in the Death Note, the death will take place even if that Death Note, or the part of the note used, is destroyed before the stated time of death. -> Clarification to stop users from pointlessly destroying the Death Note
• The Death Note will not affect those less than 780 days old. -> A patch added to get around various cultural arguments related to when something is considered "Human"
• You cannot kill humans who are more than 124 years of age with the Death Note. -> Added in reference to a Shinigami meme
• You cannot kill humans with less than 12 minutes of life left (in human calculations). -> Patch that addresses undefined behavior from edge cases where the victim dies naturally before the Death Note can normally take effect or during the window the user can write additional details to the cause of death.

We even see the Death Note's rules kinda being treated like this in the one-shot the creators put out a few years ago, where the kid who gets the Death Note sells it ...and the Shinigami king immediately makes a new rule that no on can profit over the sale of the Death Note without dying, which the MC promptly does. This falls into doing something about exploits.

I feel like the first two rules were created directly after the first episode where Light writes all the possible ways to write that biker's name, which makes this even funnier. Notice how he didn't do that anymore, meaning that rule probably appeared pretty fast. Shinigami King is a very responsible dev

Insensitivity reader to make sure that your characters are ignorant assholes in the ways that make the most sense for the characterization you're trying to achieve
