Morbane's coal

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

It wasn't even that mean, it just pointedly framed Nazis as bad guys. Like I guess that is mean when you're a Nazi-fucker, but there are much worse ways to do that exact thing, and lolmeme didn't come even arguably close to crossing a DNW. Didn't ars_belli continue in Yuletide for a couple of years after that, though?

imo it counts as mean just because the fic had some pointed comments and so many comments/kudos basically saying "thanks for telling this person we don't want them here", but it's not like I think that's a bad thing lol.

ars_belli did YT 2018 (lolmeme's fic was 2017) and that's their last activity on the account. Based on ars_belli's very belated but effusive comment to lolmeme's fic, my personal opinion is lolmeme pulled the plug for them but they did one more year as an "I'm not owned I'm not owned" thing, but that's me extrapolating based on how creeps like that tend to operate.

I’ve been trying to look for the fic but can’t find it, so: anyone have a link for the fic lolmeme wrote for ars_belli, or even just lolmeme’s ao3?

I found that from ars_belli's gifts. Looks like this is the last year lolmeme/tricatular wrote fic because there's nothing after 2017 there.

This response to a concern troll in the comments is gold:

Everyone should approach their Yuletide assignment in good faith and assume that their recipient is a decent person who would be happy to read about Nazis being defeated. If someone happens NOT to be a decent person, well....

i thought they were “banned” because wasn’t 2019 the year the mods banned nazi noms? all they wanted was nazi content so once their fandoms were ineligible for yuletide, why (or how) would you sign up?

they were a creep who nommed nazi content but it wasn't remotely their only fandom
