my dog looks slightly like a rat, she’s a chihuahua shitzu wired haired terrier MIX, so her fur just grows that way, and I’m getting stuff for her bc the mortality of my pets looms over me bc I have anxiety, and I’m just imagining some receptionist somewhere receiving a picture of my dog and their eyeballs popping out of their head cartoon-style, just going ‘what. Is. That.’
Here are a few of my weirdest tags for fics on AO3, I apologise in advance. "Fanny is barely a character because she's impossible to write, but at least I write in Robin" "Everyone keeps dying but we want more ghosts anyway so it's good" "Playing with Thomas's hair and Cap's and Humphrey's what can I say they all have great hair" "sorry im just quoting something with the last one" "Wow I should have watched the rest of the series before starting this fic" I hope you use them in your next video!! Love your work!!
"The Author Regrets Nothing" being immediately followed by "The Author Regrets Everything" is a personal favourite of mine. Also saw a fic with "Warning: (Character Name)" with said character part of the main pairing in the fic, which really says something about that fandom.
"No beta we kayak like Tim" is my favorite one I've come across. Context is that the character in question died and the entire fandom was in denial and it somehow became a common meme to say that he didn't actually die, he just went on a really long kayaking trip.
I think “A green leafed vegetable or cooking green, often used in Italian cooking, that is related to both the broccoli and turnip family of vegetables.” is probably my least favorite tag lmao.
Needless to say I’m into some interesting fandoms: - “The Circus-freeform” - “Maybe the real treasure was the cat you petted while breaking in and entering” - “But smooching plastic can’t be pleasant” - “Clown wife could take my skin ANYDAY”
I think two of my favorite tags that I've come across recently are: "you open this fic like oh cute fluff and then i GUN YOU DOWN" and "sprinkles trauma on these guys like it's seasoning or something " Both from the same fic
God I feel that second one, I always refer to stuff like angst and trauma as seasonings for my characters, for some it's extremely spicy, for others it's nothing
"Dumb Teen Gets Killed And Is Dead Af: Not Clickbait" "She became dog food your honour" "She's an idiot your honour" Is a combo I've made and used that I am torn between cringing at and chuckling at :^
"Dumb Teen Gets Killed And Is Dead AF: Not Clickbait" Sounds like the story of Magnus Chase granted he dies in the first book and the interesting part of his story is when he's a tangible ghost./g /pc
Sometimes, my own tags are the worst: "implied yeeting off this planet" "we die like literally half the characters" "romantic chili feeding" "childe is a prince naveen ripoff" "buy a Bang Chan for $6.18 at your nearest Walmart folks (the Costco model is out of stock)"
Hearing Coley go off on a rant about ceral mascot ships reminded me of that Tony the Tiger/Grinch fic that spawned from the fact that Tony the Tiger is voiced by the same guy who sang "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch" and Tumblr ran with the idea that it was a salty breakup song. The memories.
Seriously, the ATLA fandom has a heckin lot of oddly specific but very very accurate tags. For example: -dragons have intense parental instincts (immediately followed by Non-Consensual Adoption) -there's drugging but I wouldn't call it non-consensual -Canon has been taken out back and shot, or at the very least received a very strongly worded letter to management -accidental co-parenting with your minion's uncle -bonding on top of a dumpster -they can make him fight crime but the can't make him wear the hat And my personal favorite, courtesy of MuffinLance -bb!dragonZuko likes wrestling with tolerantAdultFigure!Appa
ya know its really fun when you not only recognize some of the fandoms of these tags, but also the FICS that use them, specifically because you have both read AND BOOKMARKED the fic. lovely little callout there
I love reading “No beta we die like _____” tags because they get so clever. I was reading a DBH fic at some point in the past-ish (don’t ask time is weird and blurs together) and read “no beta we die like deviants”
The favorites of mine I’ve seen are: “No beta we die like Ink’s ability to give a fvck” “No beta we die like Gleamstar’s homophobia” “No beta we die like half the beta trolls” “No beta we die like Kankri’s celibacy vow” “No beta we die like Cross’s will to live” “No beta we die like Flapjack” “No beta we die like Hussie” And best of all, “No beta we die like Tails’s heterosexuality” I have seen things, as you can tell, and I often did not like them.
Coley: "Scrooge McDuck/Santa Clause... Why can I see this plausibly existing?" Me, who last watched the Ducktales Season 2 finale: "Enemies to lovers."
"BDSM but in a priestly (?) way" - Someone took Take Me to Church and turned that into a whole fanfic, hmm... "There are no heteros in Ba Sing Se" - I'll bet there's also a tag somewhere out there that's a bit like "friends: straight people aren't real, they can't hurt you", "straight people:" "Premarital hugging." - How scandalous.
I figured "BDSM in a priestly way" was a variation of the ol' "'Forgive me father for I have sinned' & 'Sorry Daddy I've been baaaad' are technically the same sentence"
If I had a dime for everytime a Johnathan fought a vampire, I'd have ten dollars, which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that is been the plot of atleast two works of fiction.
Ok I read it it was good and would probably hit harder if I knew more about mha. I liked how you used the rhyme throughout the story, that was pretty cool.
@@Justin-ul7fh I think explaining the worms spoils the midfuck effect we're achieving here, plus it'd be sort of a spoiler for the podcast itself (and I reccommend you give it a listen, it's REALLY good!). But generally because worms do appear in the canon of TMA quite often and in big events and unexpected places, the fandom made it a meme that you write a tag "canon-typical worms" whenever you include them in a TMA fanfic. And if someone stumbles upon it without context and expresses concern and confusion, the meme is to respond that we can explain.
As someone who uses half and half between normal tags and the ones you make yourself, its my favourite thing to do. I think my favourite to date of mine is: "this is a fic based on a dystopian child murdering capatalist society how many more warning do you want?"
My favorite tags I've read have to be, "it's only major character death if you care about those characters" "this fandom is so dead, like it literally has a grave" "Oops they're a little toxic but that's ok" and one of my own tags, "there's a bird and they might be the most traumatized and least traumatized one at the same time"
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the “froot loops- free form” tag on at least 5 different Danny Phantom fanfics… Some of the tags I’ve seen: “Out of character Joe Biden” “Corpse AU” (actual corpses, not the person) “This fic is not sponsored by Taco Bell” “Also kind of Lovecraft inspired but without the racism” “Bo burnham 'inside' levels of describing how bad things feel” “You have permission to physically fight me outside of denny's at 3 am” “The absolute confidence of a mediocre white man” And “Dabi kins Waluigi”
Not super cursed, but some of my favourite tags: - Home Restoration As A Metaphor Probably - Foiling A Kidnapping Can Be A Love Language - you know how there's casual sex? this is competitive sex. sex with a winner. - a surprising amount of critiques on capitalism - therapy is good actually - the mortifying ordeal of wanting your boyfriend to top you - sad childhood backstories and the unlocking thereof - it's not mistaken identity if you don't identify yourself
You asked for tags so... "Bread Sex" "Souls are weird" "character who's like really old, but actually only 18" "eye contact as a metaphor for love ig" "This is just a post-series what-if for a series that isn't even over yet" "grian i see your soulmate au and raise you breaking that soulmate au" "I dont have daddy issues stfu" "Internalised Furryphobia" And I shall stop here :)
I first saw “but sir, that’s my emotional support war criminal” and my immediate thought was transformers, and with the “and no robot sex” that only enhanced. “Why are these gay robots women having sex?” And “car sex but it’s actually two cars doing it”I swear to all thing holy, if this isn’t transformers tags on AO3 then wtf could it be!? And I’ve been down that rabbit hole on AO3, things get wild. Anyway. I would like to add “Fuck Gender I Do What I Want” “Gay Cat, Gay bear, dude I swear I’m not a furry” “Technically Attempted Murder” “No happy ending, or sad ending, basically there’s no ending”
Had to pause the video after that Steve Rogers tag because I was laughing so hard for like 5 minutes. My man didn't need to be slammed that hard but it's true
I love ao3 tags. They can be so random (and a bit unhinged) sometimes XD EDIT: I made this before actually watching the video, and now realize what an understatement it is.
I recognize the "rated M for like only one scene where it gets too harsh but otherwise a toddler can read this" and "update: do not let toddlers read this" tags. They're from the Project Sekai fic "How to befriend sea creatures and not die in the process 101 (Octopus escape methods not included)". That's my favorite fic of all time. ^^
Love the fact that I have definitely seen the tag “but sir, that’s my emotional support war criminal” when reading fics from the Critical Role fandom lmao
I think all of our humor has been destroyed by the internet I laughed for like 20 minutes yesterday because of the line "Take me to Snurch"(Snake Church) and my favorite weird tag I found recently was "Gems(Steven universe) being Fae Eldritch Horrors"
But no wait. I’m in the ducktales fandom and Scrooge McDuck has a weirdly tense relationship with Santa. Like lifelong rivalry (former partners in business because they invented Christmas together) but then they make up in one episode and it’s weird but I love it
I dunno if all of these count as "cursed," but some of my all-time favorite tags that I have stumbled across include: - Implied Grave Robbing - [Character] has a gun - Gratuitously Hot Voldemort - Business Shenanigans, Peanuts - Freeform - Canon-typical mentions of infanticide - Dinosaurs Are Unreliable Narrators, Dinosaurs Are Surprisingly Reliable Narrators - Friendship is Magic, EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT'S NOT and finally probably my all time favorite (tho I have not read the fic it's from, bc No): - to be honest this whole fic is just a big flex, I wanted to prove I could write rhyming sex, the thought came to mind and I couldn't say no, that doesn't meant it wasn't stupid hard though Edit: Forgot a space
@RobotBlue yeah, I don't often read fics in that fandom (I prefer gen and there are not as many gen fics as I'd like), but I honestly love the fic that spawned that tag. They got a few other great tags too but those are a bit fandom-specific so I didn't include em
WAIT DO YOU WATCH KWITE??? Also if you DO want to read the fic, it's called "The Fuck Before Christmas", a Danny Phantom fic, and holy shit they rhymed the whole thing, tags included :O
I've seen so many amazing tags but most of them you would need to be in the fandom to understand However "this is the opposite of slow burn its like i bonfired this thing" is one of my favorite tags It's not cursed but I still find it funny Edit: also "they're just friends" followed by "...for now" And "no beta we die like [character]'s mental health"
So I just heard the words 'ecto-genitalia' and as someone who loves Undertale and occasionally reads Undertale fanfics, hearing that tag made me want to die.
9:33 Honestly surprised ecto-gentalia made it on the list because it's like a staple of undertale smut. If you got skeletons who don't have dicks then you need to find a way to give it to them. Okay now that I'm typing it out maybe I've just been in this fandom too long.
Honestly same, I've been I'm the fandom for a few years... I recommended the tag becuase well... the people who know know... and yeah... we gotta get out smut somehow
Sorry, I know this is a typo of "angels" but it gave me the funniest mental image of a warped triangle covered in eyes, and I wanted to thank you for that
The best I've found in my short time reading fanfics is "so I went into this like haha marcy is gonna gay panic but then it turned into a gay panic attack" I've never felt so understood
"Gun job" "like he literally sucks on a gun" Those are two I've seen in one book while I was looking for some fics (That isn't the exact wording but you should get the gist of why it's cursed)
some of my favorite tags ive come across recently "they do it on a picnic table behind their school" "mentions of blood but only in the form of cake frosting" "poor jesussy died for this sin" "no they will not fuck" "THIS IS A WARNING" "and a threat"
just a couple I’ve seen lmao “underage drinking if you’re in the us” “you get to die! you get to die! everyone gets to die!” “technically cannibalism” “no beta we die like everyone in this fic” I also once saw “heavy fluff” immediately followed by “heavy death”
Happy ending (with cannibalism) is, if not actually originated from the Hannibal fandom, probably used a lot by the Hannibal fandom. A lot of Hannigram fics end up with Hannibal finally seducing Will and Will allowing Hannibal a little cannibalism and murder as a treat.
Round 2, let's go! I've written a lot more since last time! -"Kaguya is a disaster lesbian and no one can convince me otherwise" (Referring to Kaguya Houraisan from Touhou) -"Heavy Angst" followed by "Seriously I do not hold back" -"Yes beta but we still die" -"It started cute but immediately went downhill" -"Somewhere in between canon compliant and canon divergent???" -"Haha! Suffer" -"No beta, we die like most of the cast" -"Watch as I launch canon into the sun" -"I woke up one day and decided to torture these characters"
"Happy ending (with cannibalism)" Omg I love Hannibal :D Also the person who wrote the "fuck the tags just read the fic" tag was so real for that honestly-
3:14 out of very morbid curiosity I tried to find this fanfiction by searching "Lightning McQueen" in the BTS tag and I am scared to tell you that it's not the only one that has Lightning McQueen in it... one of them has the tag "Joe Biden owns a strip club". No, I am not giving you any names, that would mean going back and I don't want to bleach my eyes again. What the hell is wrong with you people?
@@aquaabouttogetfunky I'm sorry, but for your own mental health I can't do that. But if you are desperate you can try search it yourself. Don't worry, you will find them easily.
"I'm going to keep it as fluffy as possible" followed by "so that was a fucking lie" "Real mystery is how long it'll take Grian to break down Iskall's door" "A convicted criminal can be a detective"
I didn’t expect my very “Mild Rat Gore” was gonna get in, but it did! And now I’m scared cause people are now gonna hunt it down and secretly judge me XD
4:58 I SWEAR THAT I SAW THIS BEFORE, AND IT'S ABOUT HUNTER FROM THE OWL HOUSE Edit: I FOUND IT! It's called "Naptime" by Grimbeak, posted July 17th of last year! I'm proud of myself that I was able to recognize one of these, but at the same time they're supposed to be cursed fanfiction tags, so I think I should simultaneously be worried about myself too.
i love the particular horror i go through when watching these videos of looking at a tag and thinking i _might_ know the fandoms of which they came but not knowing for certain.
One weird tag I saw the other day was “Pre marital hand holding” I’ll update this comment if I find anymore cursed ones man eats frog and has five week long existential crisis about the nature of human emotion Soulmate Goose of Enforcement Canon Universe if it had murdergeese
@@DLCS-2 I have been trying to find any good ones for like a good half hour now and not gonna lie…I didn’t realise how hard to find wholesome tags was but here are some good contenders I think 1. They’re traumatised but love eachother 2. CAUTION : extreme fluff inside
About: "Charon fucks the river Styx" That is possible since the river Styx would still have a nymph attached to it, like all other rivers in greek mythology, so basically, with context it's not weird Edit: also, the weirdest one I've seen is accidental baby acquisition, I have read the fic twice now and the tag is still weird
@@feuerling Styx is the oldest of the Oceanids, the nymphs of freshwater sources and the first-born of Oceanus, who is the great freshwater river that circles the Earth; He's also the first-born son of Gaia and Ouranos so. Styx is both the literal river itself and the nymph who dwells in the river. It was her who sent her children, Nike being the most notable, to aid Zeus the Father in His battle again Typhon.
“Mind control, Coffee Dates, you know just your average weekday” I want that to be a Kirby fic so bad. it’s not, I know it isn’t, but that combination of tags is a metadede fic waiting to happen.
9:42 i think i actually read this one, i don’t remember what fandom it’s from but the illegal panini ring was actually so fucking hilarious and went on for two chapters until it got busted
some of my fave tags ive seen: "reader dies in the first chapter" "Yay tomb raiding!" "Hollow Knight/MLP crossover" "jesus and intruder are siblings btw" i have exactly zero context for all of these tags and i think that makes them better

Here are a few of my weirdest tags for fics on AO3, I apologise in advance.
"Fanny is barely a character because she's impossible to write, but at least I write in Robin"
"Everyone keeps dying but we want more ghosts anyway so it's good"
"Playing with Thomas's hair

"sorry im just quoting something with the last one"
"Wow I should have watched the rest of the series before starting this fic"

no, its not, fuck ozai
The Answer sound: Definitely no
It definitely isn't. Also, I've seen some interesting fics where Ozai is killed. One in which he's killed by Azula after the Agni Kai in The Storm.
No, it's definitely not patricide.
Yes but only on a technicality.
"Eating broken glass is seriously not good for you"

"Rimming, Terrorism"
Seriously, the ATLA fandom has a heckin lot of oddly specific but very very accurate tags.
For example:
-dragons have intense parental instincts (immediately followed by Non-Consensual Adoption)
-there's drugging but I wouldn't call it non-consensual
-Canon has been taken out back and shot, or at the very least received a very strongly worded letter to management
-accidental co-parenting with your minion's uncle
-bonding on top of a dumpster
-they can make him fight crime but the can't make him wear the hat
And my personal favorite, courtesy of MuffinLance
-bb!dragonZuko likes wrestling with tolerantAdultFigure!Appa
"Car sex, but it's actually two cars doing it" - am I the only one who now has Two Trucks by Lemon Demon playing in their head?

youd be surprised to find out its from a fandom that actually has nothing to do with cars 😭
We’re they two pickup trucks making love who were American made and built ford tough?
I already had it playing in my head, this just made it louder
two cars having sex
One of the best tags I’ve seen is ‘the inherent homoeroticism of picking someone’s pocket’ and i think that’s just neat
That kinda sounds like The Penumbra Podacst…
...Is that story still up? I kinda want to find out what that entails.
@@dirtydan9785 Still up. It's an Ocean's Eleven fanfic

"canon-typical worms" is probably THE funniest way the TMA fandom wormed itself into the public consciousness. We SWEAR we can explain the worms!!!

The most interesting one I've ever seen is "well there is an oc but he's a corpse the whole time so..."
As someone who uses half and half between normal tags and the ones you make yourself, its my favourite thing to do. I think my favourite to date of mine is: "this is a fic based on a dystopian child murdering capatalist society how many more warning do you want?"
My favorite tags I've read have to be,
"it's only major character death if you care about those characters"
"this fandom is so dead, like it literally has a grave"
"Oops they're a little toxic but that's ok"
and one of my own tags, "there's a bird and they might be the most traumatized and least traumatized one at the same time"
"does bruce have a choking kink? Find out next week since this week is his son's funeral"
This was of course on a batman fic
"Inappropriate use of the Force"
Ah yes... I know this tag all too well
fix your attitude?
"mmm..the force is strong with this one"
@@dumpsterfire3214 ?? Wdym?
If anything I kinda dig this tag cuz fic writers are so *creative* when it comes to the force 😂
Idk, maybe they were referencing one specific fic, idk I don't read smut or Star Wars
@@iceninelives4651 I have and its a very popular ao3 tag for SW let me tell ya-
"no beta we die like hop's self-esteem" is one of my personal favorite tags
Pokèmon?
@@Butterflyhorrorgeek. yeah, this was on a Pokémon fic
Saw “Eating broken glass is seriously Not Good For You” and KNEW it was an ace attorney fic… I was right
trials and tribulations was WILD
Sometimes I question how Wright won any cases
I have to say, my personal favorite tag I found was "two corpses being gay and committing war crimes."
There’s no way that’s not FNAF
@@genesisofthebetween lol you're right!! Its a crossover between two fandoms, one of them was fnaf
This is an oddly fitting tag for Dayshift at Freddy's fanfics.
@@BenjaminPriddy-rj5yy while it is very fitting for dsaf... this particular fic was emperor belos (from The Owl House) x springtrap
@@bleepbloop5251 One Google search later... Yeah, seems 'bout right.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the “froot loops- free form” tag on at least 5 different Danny Phantom fanfics…
Some of the tags I’ve seen:
“Out of character Joe Biden”
“Corpse AU” (actual corpses, not the person)
“This fic is not sponsored by Taco Bell”
“Also kind of Lovecraft inspired but without the racism”
“Bo burnham 'inside' levels of describing how bad things feel”
“You have permission to physically fight me outside of denny's at 3 am”
“The absolute confidence of a mediocre white man”
And “Dabi kins Waluigi”
The whiplash I got from the 'Dabi kins Waluigi' one is so big, why did you have to do this to me?
Well the frootloops tag makes perfect sense d:
Lovecraft one makes perfect sense
The Denny's one absolutely kills me. That is hilarious.
Ok, but does Joe Biden even have a character to be out of?
You have no idea how happy I was to find out the 'Eating broken glass is seriously Not Good For You' tag was an Ace Attorney fic.
Not super cursed, but some of my favourite tags:
- Home Restoration As A Metaphor Probably
- Foiling A Kidnapping Can Be A Love Language
- you know how there's casual sex? this is competitive sex. sex with a winner.
- a surprising amount of critiques on capitalism
- therapy is good actually
- the mortifying ordeal of wanting your boyfriend to top you
- sad childhood backstories and the unlocking thereof
- it's not mistaken identity if you don't identify yourself
You asked for tags so...
"Bread Sex"
"Souls are weird"
"character who's like really old, but actually only 18"
"eye contact as a metaphor for love ig"
"This is just a post-series what-if for a series that isn't even over yet"
"grian i see your soulmate au and raise you breaking that soulmate au"
"I dont have daddy issues stfu"
"Internalised Furryphobia"
And I shall stop here :)
Oh....oh no..
did somebody say GRIAN
furryphobia...
@@lexlovesblondsz no but somebody did say "grian
@@lexlovesblondsz Yes I've been reading a bunch of Double Life fics okay
I first saw “but sir, that’s my emotional support war criminal” and my immediate thought was transformers, and with the “and no robot sex” that only enhanced.
“Why are these gay robots women having sex?” And “car sex but it’s actually two cars doing it”I swear to all thing holy, if this isn’t transformers tags on AO3 then wtf could it be!? And I’ve been down that rabbit hole on AO3, things get wild.
Anyway. I would like to add
“Fuck Gender I Do What I Want”
“Gay Cat, Gay bear, dude I swear I’m not a furry”
“Technically Attempted Murder”
“No happy ending, or sad ending, basically there’s no ending”
"Technically attempted murder" sounds like something I'd say and my friends would agree..
I went to a Bucky Barnes place, but Transformers makes more sense
That's just a very lengthy way of saying "DJD"
@@qq13563817153 OH GOD, YOURE RIGHT
youd be surprised to find out that the "car sex, but it's actually two cars doing it" tag is from a kpop fic.
Had to pause the video after that Steve Rogers tag because I was laughing so hard for like 5 minutes. My man didn't need to be slammed that hard but it's true
I love how you basically just decided that Toucan Sam is just like, the fandom bicycle for cereal mascots. He gets shipped with everyone.
I love ao3 tags. They can be so random (and a bit unhinged) sometimes XD
EDIT: I made this before actually watching the video, and now realize what an understatement it is.
“It’s prose! It’s poetry! It’s a fucking mental breakdown!” Sounds like an early MCR album in a nutshell.
The tag “i luv volo my little psycho man. my little wants to overthrow god guy” is definitely one of the more out there ones I’ve seen recently.
I recognize the "rated M for like only one scene where it gets too harsh but otherwise a toddler can read this" and "update: do not let toddlers read this" tags. They're from the Project Sekai fic "How to befriend sea creatures and not die in the process 101 (Octopus escape methods not included)". That's my favorite fic of all time. ^^
THE WAY I ALMOST DIED WHEN I SAW THOSE TAGS 😭
Love the fact that I have definitely seen the tag “but sir, that’s my emotional support war criminal” when reading fics from the Critical Role fandom lmao
Bidet, Critter!
Would Essek be considered a war criminal?
"Scrooge McDuck/Santa Clause"
>Coley questions it
>Ducktales fandom understands it
>Now I wanna find it
I think all of our humor has been destroyed by the internet I laughed for like 20 minutes yesterday because of the line "Take me to Snurch"(Snake Church) and my favorite weird tag I found recently was "Gems(Steven universe) being Fae Eldritch Horrors"
My absolute favorite tags on any fanfic is „_____ if you squint“ depending on the context of the fic, they can be hilarious.
I think my favorite ao3 tag I’ve ever read is “Sexual Car Accidents”
W h a t
It was a weird day
But no wait. I’m in the ducktales fandom and Scrooge McDuck has a weirdly tense relationship with Santa. Like lifelong rivalry (former partners in business because they invented Christmas together) but then they make up in one episode and it’s weird but I love it
Was coming here to comment about Scrooge/Santa
“Literal brain fucking” DID SOMEONE PUT THE LUCIUS SKULLFUCKING DRACO FIC ON AO3????? 8DDDDDD
....pardon? actually nevermind I don't think I want to know
“Rectal thermometer” is a tag in 44 fanfics.
...I really don’t know why I felt the need to look this up.
Love that I immediately know for a FACT that "canon-typical worms" is the magnus archives.
as far as i know, we're the only ones who actually need ir
does anyone else need to differentiate between what's typical for worms and what falls outside canon?
@@cup_of_tea755 Too little
@@cup_of_tea755 to little.
I dunno if all of these count as "cursed," but some of my all-time favorite tags that I have stumbled across include:
- Implied Grave Robbing
- [Character] has a gun
- Gratuitously Hot Voldemort
- Business Shenanigans, Peanuts - Freeform
- Canon-typical mentions of infanticide
- Dinosaurs Are Unreliable Narrators, Dinosaurs Are Surprisingly Reliable Narrators
- Friendship is Magic, EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT'S NOT
and finally probably my all time favorite (tho I have not read the fic it's from, bc No):
- to be honest this whole fic is just a big flex, I wanted to prove I could write rhyming sex, the thought came to mind and I couldn't say no, that doesn't meant it wasn't stupid hard though
Edit: Forgot a space
I personally love [Charater's Parent]'s A+ Parenting
That last one does sound like a crime against the written word. Just contemplating it acted out makes my brain feel like it wants to invert itself.
@RobotBlue yeah, I don't often read fics in that fandom (I prefer gen and there are not as many gen fics as I'd like), but I honestly love the fic that spawned that tag. They got a few other great tags too but those are a bit fandom-specific so I didn't include em
why do i now want to read rhyming smut?
WAIT DO YOU WATCH KWITE??? Also if you DO want to read the fic, it's called "The Fuck Before Christmas", a Danny Phantom fic, and holy shit they rhymed the whole thing, tags included :O
I've seen so many amazing tags but most of them you would need to be in the fandom to understand
However
"this is the opposite of slow burn its like i bonfired this thing"
is one of my favorite tags
It's not cursed but I still find it funny
Edit: also "they're just friends" followed by "...for now"
And "no beta we die like [character]'s mental health"
So I just heard the words 'ecto-genitalia' and as someone who loves Undertale and occasionally reads Undertale fanfics, hearing that tag made me want to die.
9:33 Honestly surprised ecto-gentalia made it on the list because it's like a staple of undertale smut. If you got skeletons who don't have dicks then you need to find a way to give it to them.
Okay now that I'm typing it out maybe I've just been in this fandom too long.
Honestly same, I've been I'm the fandom for a few years... I recommended the tag becuase well... the people who know know... and yeah... we gotta get out smut somehow
Oh honey, as someone also neck deep in Undertale you have *absolutely* been here too long
..........which makes it more interesting than smut from other fandoms, imo
Look I think we all know the magical ghost junk is not the weird thing about this fandom.
it’s always the: "Blue summoned his ecto boday" 💀
"eyes where eyes don't belong"
Biblically accurate angels be like:
Same for the hermitcraft fandom
Sorry, I know this is a typo of "angels" but it gave me the funniest mental image of a warped triangle covered in eyes, and I wanted to thank you for that
@@kashiichan each one blinking out of sync
The Magnus Archives my beloved
Seeing the thumbnail, I just learned that "toe lactation" is a pair of words that I absolutely NEVER needed to read in my entire life.
The best I've found in my short time reading fanfics is "so I went into this like haha marcy is gonna gay panic but then it turned into a gay panic attack" I've never felt so understood
"Gun job" "like he literally sucks on a gun"
Those are two I've seen in one book while I was looking for some fics
(That isn't the exact wording but you should get the gist of why it's cursed)
some of my favorite tags ive come across recently
"they do it on a picnic table behind their school"
"mentions of blood but only in the form of cake frosting"
"poor jesussy died for this sin"
"no they will not fuck" "THIS IS A WARNING" "and a threat"
"Canon-typical levels of homoerotic stabbing" is probably one of the best tags I've ever seen
OFMD? Imma guessing this is from Our Flag Means Death.
Hannibal probably
What’s with gays and stabbing each other? OFMD, TMA, Hannibal
@@hal7741those are my three faves wtf is this tag made for me actually why is it in all of those fandoms 😭
just a couple I’ve seen lmao
“underage drinking if you’re in the us”
“you get to die! you get to die! everyone gets to die!”
“technically cannibalism”
“no beta we die like everyone in this fic”
I also once saw “heavy fluff” immediately followed by “heavy death”
Happy ending (with cannibalism) is, if not actually originated from the Hannibal fandom, probably used a lot by the Hannibal fandom. A lot of Hannigram fics end up with Hannibal finally seducing Will and Will allowing Hannibal a little cannibalism and murder as a treat.
The minute I saw that tag on the thumbnail I knew it came from the Hannibal fandom.
Murder husbands
I mean, it could also apply to a Sweeney Todd fic
Fr I saw that one and went 'why hello Hannibal fandom" out loud
That pairing can't work
Because hannibal likes too much being a cannibal
Round 2, let's go! I've written a lot more since last time!
-"Kaguya is a disaster lesbian and no one can convince me otherwise" (Referring to Kaguya Houraisan from Touhou)
-"Heavy Angst" followed by "Seriously I do not hold back"
-"Yes beta but we still die"
-"It started cute but immediately went downhill"
-"Somewhere in between canon compliant and canon divergent???"
-"Haha! Suffer"
-"No beta, we die like most of the cast"
-"Watch as I launch canon into the sun"
-"I woke up one day and decided to torture these characters"
"Happy ending (with cannibalism)"
Omg I love Hannibal :D
Also the person who wrote the "fuck the tags just read the fic" tag was so real for that honestly-
3:14 out of very morbid curiosity I tried to find this fanfiction by searching "Lightning McQueen" in the BTS tag and I am scared to tell you that it's not the only one that has Lightning McQueen in it... one of them has the tag "Joe Biden owns a strip club". No, I am not giving you any names, that would mean going back and I don't want to bleach my eyes again. What the hell is wrong with you people?
Please fam I need to know for my own morbid curiosity
@@aquaabouttogetfunky I'm sorry, but for your own mental health I can't do that. But if you are desperate you can try search it yourself. Don't worry, you will find them easily.
Cannon typical worms were probably from the magnus archives fandom, and in our defense, worms happen to be cannon typical
as far as i know, we're the only ones who actually need it
I've listened to like 3 episodes and didnt get hooked. I'm always questioning what happens when I see stuff about TMA
@@mysticdigital5936 try it again. it ends up going from one shots to "where the FUCK did this plot come from"
I see "Canon-Typical Worms" and I think "Ah, I think I've read that The Magnus Archives fic. Actually, multiple of them"
I'm pretty sure it's one of the most common tags in the fandom.
theres like 600 of them
"Kelsier wields Nightblood,"
Shoutout to my fellow Cosmere compadres
At this point I just feel like Coley needs to get into The Magnus Archives, I can pinpoint exactly which tags are for tma fics
Same. One of the wackiest but nicest fandoms out there
"I'm going to keep it as fluffy as possible" followed by "so that was a fucking lie"
"Real mystery is how long it'll take Grian to break down Iskall's door"
"A convicted criminal can be a detective"
@@orange_5936 "The Sweet Afterlife" its an Empires fic
Isn't that last one just Psycho-Pass?
@@teastitchery3400?
I didn’t expect my very “Mild Rat Gore” was gonna get in, but it did! And now I’m scared cause people are now gonna hunt it down and secretly judge me XD
i love that Coley stopped the tags at "literal brain fucking" 😂💀
Considering "lunar rovers as courting gifts" is a tag for a Chernobyl HBO fanfic
*it hits completely different*
"Happy ending (with cannibalism)" is 100% a Hannibal fanfic
4:58 I SWEAR THAT I SAW THIS BEFORE, AND IT'S ABOUT HUNTER FROM THE OWL HOUSE
Edit: I FOUND IT! It's called "Naptime" by Grimbeak, posted July 17th of last year! I'm proud of myself that I was able to recognize one of these, but at the same time they're supposed to be cursed fanfiction tags, so I think I should simultaneously be worried about myself too.
But wasn’t that everyone’s reaction to figuring out Hunter’s name. Anyway, thank you for this
Yes... I'm worried about you
@@raisarabbani5543 Thank you for your concern
:0
holy shit me too
4:30 You're close, there's Tony the tiger× The Grinch. They have two children; The Lorax and Gritty
i love the particular horror i go through when watching these videos of looking at a tag and thinking i _might_ know the fandoms of which they came but not knowing for certain.
One weird tag I saw the other day was
“Pre marital hand holding”
I’ll update this comment if I find anymore cursed ones
man eats frog and has five week long existential crisis about the nature of human emotion
Soulmate Goose of Enforcement
Canon Universe if it had murdergeese
What was the most blessed tag that you have found ?
@@DLCS-2 I have been trying to find any good ones for like a good half hour now and not gonna lie…I didn’t realise how hard to find wholesome tags was but here are some good contenders I think
1. They’re traumatised but love eachother
2. CAUTION : extreme fluff inside
I'm very much so disturbed that the Scrooge/Santa Claus tag actually makes sense in context...
"fuck the tags, just read the story" it by far my favourite.
3:53 Bad decisions & Spending money
Ok, recently I came across a fic tagged with "honey doesn't work like that" and all I'll say is no, no it doesn't lmao
I have found a few more mildly interesting ones. "Consensual murder" and "the leaps and bounds I go through to make a reasonable setup for a vore fic"
About: "Charon fucks the river Styx"
That is possible since the river Styx would still have a nymph attached to it, like all other rivers in greek mythology, so basically, with context it's not weird
Edit: also, the weirdest one I've seen is accidental baby acquisition, I have read the fic twice now and the tag is still weird
Realised I can add that last tag to one of my fics when I post it, yay
Styx is a goddess, who is also a supernatural river. Greek mythology is weird.
Accidental Baby Acquisition is a *delight*
@@feuerling Styx is the oldest of the Oceanids, the nymphs of freshwater sources and the first-born of Oceanus, who is the great freshwater river that circles the Earth; He's also the first-born son of Gaia and Ouranos so.
Styx is both the literal river itself and the nymph who dwells in the river. It was her who sent her children, Nike being the most notable, to aid Zeus the Father in His battle again Typhon.
oh hell no man wtf
“Mind control, Coffee Dates, you know just your average weekday”
I want that to be a Kirby fic so bad. it’s not, I know it isn’t, but that combination of tags is a metadede fic waiting to happen.
The best thing is knowing which fic one of the tags is from CAUSE YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBER THE FUNNY ONES
9:42 i think i actually read this one, i don’t remember what fandom it’s from but the illegal panini ring was actually so fucking hilarious and went on for two chapters until it got busted
-Soukoku from BSD omg XD best part 100%, called "Everything or Nothing" I believe-
some of my fave tags ive seen:
"reader dies in the first chapter"
"Yay tomb raiding!"
"Hollow Knight/MLP crossover"
"jesus and intruder are siblings btw"
i have exactly zero context for all of these tags and i think that makes them better
