Flowers, because Demyx would be the first to tell you he’s a flawed man.

Flowers, even though it’s a lie — a little one, but what choice did he have?

Fortunately, not all lies end in tragedy.

@babybluebird95 @DishyBird37 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 Happy endings aren’t supposed to leave you feeling devastated. Idk what else to tell you.

If it’s upsetting people, why is it so important to keep it?

[adara @synchrostatic]

@getback2loving @sharyn2828 Strang, because the purpose of tags are to tell people who aren’t the author what to expect from the fic. Clearly expectations aren’t being met here if multiple people have said something.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@DishyBird37 @babybluebird95 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 Anyways I’m done with this. I know you’re this author’s friend (beta possibly?) but know that if you’re gonna keep those tags on there it’s going to keep happening. If you don’t want that to keep happening take the tags off. This isn’t rocket science.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@DishyBird37 @babybluebird95 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 You are tagging for the general populace, not just a subset of people. If your tags upset people, don’t be surprised and act like a child when people call you out on it.

And yeah, the majority of her readers probably won’t searching for the one tag so they don’t care.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@FuckIt_IIWII @sharyn2828 I actually don’t give a shit about tags. But don’t bitch about the people not curating their space and then be mad at people for complaining when the tool that is used to do so lies.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@DishyBird37 @babybluebird95 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 I don’t understand why that tag has to be their hill to die on when it’s obviously causing them distress to receive comments about the fact it’s not considered a HE. It’s a modicum of effort to be kind. Especially when it involves child death.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@DishyBird37 @babybluebird95 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 And at the end of the day taking those tags out changes nothing about the story! It will simply stop people searching for happy ending tags from stumbling across their story and expecting one thing and getting something else.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@Sandrafaith28 @sharyn2828 Yeah sooo rude to ask authors to tag things correctly smh

[adara @synchrostatic]

@getback2loving @sharyn2828 It’s not even a negative review! They’re just asking the author to tag correctly!

[adara @synchrostatic]

@FuckIt_IIWII @sharyn2828 You can also look up reviews for published stories that will tell you what’s in it. There’s dedicated sites for it. There’s no such resource for fics besides your tags.

And yeah, technically you don’t have to. Still kind of makes you an asshole though.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@DishyBird37 @sharyn2828 Sounds like you don’t understand that lying about what’s in the fic isn’t the same thing.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@babybluebird95 @DishyBird37 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 The fact multiple people have commented this means maybe she should reevaluate the tags. She doesn’t have to change her story at all! Just change the tags.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@babybluebird95 @DishyBird37 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 There’s reader beware, but your tags should still match what’s in the fic. Most wouldn’t consider child death a happy ending. It is in fact tagged o. there three times, so I would expect everything g to end happily despite the other tags.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@DishyBird37 @LauraCassels1 @sharyn2828 You can’t tag for a specific subset. You are advertising to strangers what your fic is about and you need to tag appropriately for the widest demographic. The fact multiple people have asked them to amend the tags is proof enough that it’s tagged incorrectly.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@buggywrites @sharyn2828 No one’s telling them to change their story just tag it appropriately jfc

[adara @synchrostatic]

@sharyn2828 And for every one person who decided to say something about this, there’s plenty who will just block you without saying anything.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@sharyn2828 Don’t tag happy ending if it’s not? Not that hard.

[adara @synchrostatic]

@nicky_aiji @sharyn2828 Besides, the commenter isn’t telling them to change their story, just asking them to tag appropriately which isn’t wrong. Multiple people have commented this exact thing so has this author considered they might be in the wrong here?

[adara @synchrostatic]

@nicky_aiji @sharyn2828 You would be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks the death of a child is considered a “happy ending” and that’s before considering that child death is an extremely triggering thing for a lot of people.
