the funniest thing is unhinged COMMON tags. the day i discovered "Hannibal Lecter's Very Active Cowper's Gland" was a common tag is still vivid in my memory
I was today years old when I finally learned about that particular gland...I am unsure on whether to delight in this tag or be disappointed (primarily becausd I'm still stuck adoring Sir Hopkins' Dr. Lecter 😅)
Some of my favorite tags are “no beta we ride the lightning” “Accidental baby acquisition” And of course “alternate universe - the soulmate goose of enforcement
I read a fic recently that seemingly had no relation, a random tag said “Gordon Ramsay is canonically dead” or something along those lines, I was beginning to think it’s a crack fic, but no, the fic is dead serious and has a good plot and there’s a random scene where Gordon Ramsay’s ghost is there bc he died of food poisoning.
I started tagging some of my works as "no beta we die like my heterosexuality" if I don't have a character that dies both in canon and in the fic (or if no one dies). I also used "Just because they're my OTP doesn't mean they'll get a happy ending" four times.
"Just because they're my otp doesn't mean they'll get a happy ending" is a big mood lol 'You are my favorite ship, and therefore I must make you suffer' is my mindset 95% of the time
"so much smut you can't tell the writer is asexual" Is such a true tag some otf the raunchiest smut i've ever read was written by ace people i swear to god.
As someone on the ace spectrum I can personally affirm that we are either innocent little beans or heavily into kink, no in-between. I cannot tell you why, I am still trying to figure it out
@@lilyhawthorne1196 I'm here to back you up. my bookmarks would have people believe otherwise but I am ace and very much so and goddamn ace writers do it right
One time i read a fic tagged "Crack treated way too seriously oh god what have i done", "This was supposed to be a funny lighthearted fic i swear officer", and "The psychological horror tag is not an exaggeration".
I haven't read a fic with that tag, but I did read a fic where nitroglycerin was involved, sooo... I'm gonna give a guess and say MHA with Bakugou involved in the pairing @@samuelbutler3332
"Get in losers we're going monster f-ing" sounds like a joke I'd make in regular conversation with my friends also "why does everything I write turn into angst" is such a whole mood though and the pspspsps made me laugh so hard I almost inhaled coffee
My favorite fic ever has one of the best examples of this, suffice to say, reading the the tag "Crack Treated Seriously" followed by "Character death, trauma,, implied/referenced self harm, suicidal thoughts, gore" was very eye catching
@@meh7973 The only character who canonically meets every single one of these criteria is the Hollow Knight itself, but this is fanfiction so there's a high chance that canon was thrown out of the window
For some reason, I like all the "Inappropriate use of .. " tags whenever I see them. Like "Inappropriate use of the force" or "Inappropriate use of Zoro's Katanas" I also love the tags where the author is just rambling for two or more different tags.
Favourite tag I've seen ever: "ice bucket challenge but in a creepy way" which was the only way the author could think of to tag the unconventional torture/ "behavioural correction" method used in one chapter.
I am an official tag wrangler on AO3 (I handle 9 small fandoms) And sometimes the tags bring me so much joy at the endless creativity of fic writers, sometimes they leave me screaming 'how am I supposed to sort this?!?!?!' Sometimes I am left needing therapy. Please never change, taggers.

3:50 Has anyone else noticed that asexuals write the best smut? Like, there are at least three (probably anon) authors I've read that write the most incredible smut
i once saw a tag on my top smt ship: "what's unmarked omega fcking without toxic BDSM and edging" surprisingly they became my favorite author soon after
I saw the tag "premarital handholding" today and needed to share it with you all. And I had another tag but TH-cam was being mean and deleted my first comment.
I _think_ it's because the main characters wanted to fuck, but what they wanted to do wouldn't be legal in public, so them watching the long CVS receipt print out is sorta like edging?
Favorite unhinged fan fic tag I've seen recently HAS to be "If you don't love me at my sensitive exploration of trauma you don't deserve me at my knock knock joke f*sting scene"
Still trying to figure out how I ended up trying to write a full smut chapter only to spend an inordinate amount of time on a character's fascination with indoor plumbing, a picknick, and a bath pocket dimension. Not in the same fic.
Here are some all from the same fandom, try to guess which one: Is it really execution if it’s consensual, It’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you, It’s time to make angst out of AFK,
The video's barely started and I'm already WHEEZING, I'm all too familiar with unhinged tags on ao3 Edit: hELP the enhyphen edit for blood lust confused with regular lust
one of my favourite tags as of recent was on a winx fanfic and it was "this aint healthy but it sure is sexy" and the tag is the sole reason i read the fic and i cant say i was disapointed💀
Not me hearing "Nitroglycerin as Lube" and immediately thinking: Wait, that sounds familiar! and checking my bookmarks ^^' Turns out, the fic I had in mind didn't have that tag, but the fact alone that I know there was a scene were nitroglycerin was involved is... something xD
"the real christmas gift was this creepy older husband i found along the way" This is about Klaus (2019). I don't care if it actually is, that's the truth in my heart.
This reminds me, I just recently published a fic on AO3 with the tags "I'm sorry," "based on a true story," "kind of," "it makes sense at the end." In case you're wondering, it was a creepypasta type of story about Kid Icarus Uprising that was based on a dream I had. The story itself was honestly pretty generic as far as video game creepypastas go, right down to the dream happening at 3 AM.
OMG Yes, I may know the fic you're talking about! Cream Cheese? I've avoided reading that thing this whole time, but my wife read it because she can't refuse her morbid curiosity, and she's SO ANGRY about it! 😂😂😂

The one that currently has me both concerned for the author (and myself) is “the mortifying ordeal of being aroused at the sight of your crush cutting off someone’s tongue”
the "CDC advises against fucking on dragonback" fic also has the tags " So Many Dead Doves You'll Think You're In A Hitchcock Film" and "Dragons Love (People) Taco." so.
As someone who mostly reads genfic, tags really don't come up much with my reading habits. When I look for a fic it's usually because I stumbled across a recommendation somewhere, often in the form of a forum signature, often quoting some passage. And those can get pretty unhinged in their own way. "DARKEST FIXFIC" (Amelia) "Bitch, my tits are calm. The left one is named Sitthartha Buddha and the right one is Vardhamana Mahavira and, together, they are lactating a veritable font of peace and understanding. Its the rest of me that is pissed." (This Bites) "It's less that this fic is on crack, and more that crack is on this fic" (Shinji and Warhammer 40,000 (note that people learned of Shinji's return to Tokyo-3 because the flammability of concrete measurably increased in his presence; the quote really isn't exaggerating)) "Yeah. Because being compared to the crossdressing lesbian mime Casanova is totally fair." (Silencio (also, beware the eldritch reality warping power of the Shipping Chart, which has been known to infect other fics (notably including Amelia above))) "This machine is draining his protagonism and channeling it through me. So long as I behave in a suitably "heroic" manner, I shall be unstoppable." (Uninvited Guests) "I knew it," he whispered in awe. "I knew it! I never stopped believing! Quick, Kurenai-sensei, do my eyes look different?" Kurenai gave him a quick study. "No." "Must have turned them off automatically," the boy mumbled. "Turned what off?" his sensei asked in exasperation. "My all-powerful eye bloodline," Kiba announced proudly, "The Shenanigan!" (Of Snakes and Time Travel) "THEY'RE MY FUCKING SILMARILS! GIVE THEM BACK YOU THIEVING LITTLE SHIT!" (Ring-Maker)
I absolutely love seeing unhinged AO3 tags. Though the most unhinged mine have gotten is "Emotional support stripper pole" so maybe i need to step up my game lol
Silly tags are just a part of Ao3's culture at this point, and I hope Ao3 never sees fit to "fix" the silly tags- it wouldn't be the same place without them. I do think people can be excessive with silly tags and they should be minimal, but you can have a crazy tag or two as a treat. Also a tag I saw recently was "Reader has issues". It made sense in context.
AO3 is just the fanfiction extension pack to Cards Against Humanity

revisiting to say as a new TMA fan i now love "No beta we kayak like tim" bc he does kayak for sureee :3
this came at the perfect time: ignoring my midterms and my essay
My favourite was "accidental empathy acquisition", and the same fic had "crack treated seriously", "except when it's not", "then it's just crack"
As someone who mostly reads genfic, tags really don't come up much with my reading habits. When I look for a fic it's usually because I stumbled across a recommendation somewhere, often in the form of a forum signature, often quoting some passage. And those can get pretty unhinged in their own way.
"DARKEST FIXFIC" (Amelia)
"Bitch, my tits are calm. The left one is named Sitthartha Buddha and the right one is Vardhamana Mahavira and, together, they are lactating a veritable font of peace and understanding. Its the rest of me that is pissed." (This Bites)
"It's less that this fic is on crack, and more that crack is on this fic" (Shinji and Warhammer 40,000 (note that people learned of Shinji's return to Tokyo-3 because the flammability of concrete measurably increased in his presence; the quote really isn't exaggerating))
"Yeah. Because being compared to the crossdressing lesbian mime Casanova is totally fair." (Silencio (also, beware the eldritch reality warping power of the Shipping Chart, which has been known to infect other fics (notably including Amelia above)))
"This machine is draining his protagonism and channeling it through me. So long as I behave in a suitably "heroic" manner, I shall be unstoppable." (Uninvited Guests)
"I knew it," he whispered in awe. "I knew it! I never stopped believing! Quick, Kurenai-sensei, do my eyes look different?" Kurenai gave him a quick study. "No." "Must have turned them off automatically," the boy mumbled. "Turned what off?" his sensei asked in exasperation. "My all-powerful eye bloodline," Kiba announced proudly, "The Shenanigan!" (Of Snakes and Time Travel)
"THEY'RE MY FUCKING SILMARILS! GIVE THEM BACK YOU THIEVING LITTLE SHIT!" (Ring-Maker)
I absolutely love seeing unhinged AO3 tags. Though the most unhinged mine have gotten is "Emotional support stripper pole" so maybe i need to step up my game lol
1:51 ENHYPEN MENTIONED RAHHHHHH 🦅📣🔥💯🩸

That noel has to drive a boat to taco bell is from a ride the cyclone fanfic right?? Either way im definitely accepting that hc as my own now
1:46 I did NOT expect to see Grand Ma on this channel and I am LIVING FOR IT!!!
Its Gureii's fault for making the literal entity of death hot
I absolutely suggest checking out the Danny Phantom ao3 fic tags because. Oh boy. All of the doves are half-dead. They are in the trenches.
The thousand yard stare is immense
Silly tags are just a part of Ao3's culture at this point, and I hope Ao3 never sees fit to "fix" the silly tags- it wouldn't be the same place without them. I do think people can be excessive with silly tags and they should be minimal, but you can have a crazy tag or two as a treat.
Also a tag I saw recently was "Reader has issues". It made sense in context.
