And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

Absolutely wild that you consider drug use to be "disrespectful." Some painful D.A.R.E. damage going on here.

[(Anonymous)]

Your US-centrism is showing.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're not even from the US and you're this asswedged about weed and mushrooms then there's literally no hope for you.

[(Anonymous)]

Lots of Asian cultures are against drug use, you racist.

[(Anonymous)]

Tepid bait.

[(Anonymous)]

Go back to FFA

[(Anonymous)]

truly the "go back to gbs" of our time

[(Anonymous)]

Noted.

[(Anonymous)]

But what are Morbane's policies on weed? The People demand to know

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, yes, because of course you know everything about drugs in every single country and the way the subject is treated, and of course everyone should agree with your American ass. How typical.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, we should all think and be more like countries where the consumption of drugs is severely punished. Thank you!

[(Anonymous)]

There's a good reason drugs are punished across East Asia.

[(Anonymous)]

it's colonialism you dumb shit

[(Anonymous)]

Unironically DARE damage lmao

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and it's colonialism to say that Asian cultures need to adopt Western (read: American) standards of drugs use.

[(Anonymous)]

As other nonny said, it's colonialism. Specifically:

[(Anonymous)]

they probably think colonialism is good actually in this case because it restricted those nasty evil drugses

JFC, coalie, you're missing the damn point. No one is particularly pressed about whether some rando on the internet occasionally takes mushrooms or weed or whatever. It's not about the legality or the ethics of drugs.

It's about writing someone's gift fic while you're high. It would be just as bad if I posted a Tweet saying I just had a bottle of wine (perfectly legal, super common) and I'd write my Yuletide assignment now.

[(Anonymous)]

I literally only write while high, and I have never once had a complaint about my fic.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay? What kind of complaint do you imagine? Unless you talk about writing it high, people won't know. If there are indeed any issues with the fic, they will assume the issue is your writing skills and the vast majority of people will not complain about that.

If I get a Yuletide gift that sucks and have no other information, I will assume my writer did their best and they're just a bad writer. If I get a Yuletide gift that sucks and the author's note says "I wrote this while I'm high", I will assume that's why the fic sucks. (Maybe it won't be the reason. Maybe the fic would be just as bad or even worse if they were sober, who knows. But it doesn't matter because you had to share that TMI.)

[(Anonymous)]

^ more DARE damage

[(Anonymous)]

CYRT

I don't even know what that is. My point isn't "don't get high/drunk", my point is "don't write a gift fic while high/drunk/half asleep/feverish/distracted by something else". Or at least don't talk about it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's very possible to make good art while high, drunk, etc, and your pearl-clutching over how awful it is says a lot about you.

[(Anonymous)]

NC

Agree, so long as it gets a sober edit.

Americans think that if you're even slightly uncomfortable with people talking about taking drugs in every context, it must be because of that American government anti-drug promo or whatever it is that of course we should all know about, and we're also condoning American government using anti-drugs laws as an excuse to arrest more people and force them to work as slaves. Or whatever that stupid country does.
