Dumpster #3: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

[trashmod]

Holy shitballs, look at us go. Welcome to Captain America fandom's resident wretched hive of scum and villainy: ROUND THREE. AKA Bad Guys Do Dirtybadwrong Things To Your Faves, AKA the Hydra Trash Party kinkmeme. As usual, BLANKET NON-CON AND NSFW WARNINGS apply: just assume going in that everything in this landfill is unfit for human consumption.

Rules in brief: don't be a jerk except to fictional characters, warnings for particularly fucked-up garbage are nice but not required, thou shalt not judge the trashiness of thy neighbor's kinks unless thy neighbor is trying to pass off their rotting banana peels and half-eaten pizza crusts as a healthy romantic dinner for two, off-topic comments may be chucked out of the dumpster at management's discretion, management's discretion decrees that omegaverse, soulbond AUs, D/s-verse, non-superpowered AUs, and dark!good guys AUs are off-topic.

Round 3 is closed; comments and fills in existing threads are still welcome, but all new prompts go to Round 4.

Re: "Recovery" prompts

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, me too -- I'd like to have an environment of diverse prompts where people feel welcome to talk about self-amputation or lactation or self-lubricating assholes or whatever, and not feel like their prompt will get ignored unless it's about Bucky's recovering mental health.

On the other hand, it seems like the opposite is happening as the result of the trashmod post, which is that people who like Trash Recovery are feeling shut out. THAT IS SAD, since I think everyone here is ACTUALLY in general agreement re: the spirit of the mod's post, which is "make sure your recovery prompts are still trash-focused", but a number of us are struggling with the actual specifics of the mod's post -- between the mention of woobie, mental health, sexual violence, gray areas, and the 2:1 ratio, it's kind of confusing.

I wish we'd all just go with the spirit of "Trash Recovery, not generic recovery" and keep on enjoying the dumpster, but then again, I'm a "do first, beg for forgiveness later" type of person.

See, I've been feeling shut out because that ISN'T how I took the spirit of the post. I took it as "even if your recovery prompt is trash-focused, please consider not posting it, because there's been too much of that lately and we need to bring the dumpster back to its true purpose, which has nothing to do with aftermath at all." And it's great to say you should just go with the spirit of trash recovery is on topic and run with it, but it's hard to get inspired to participate when you think the mod doesn't want that kind of thing here...

I guess that's where we differ, because from my perspective -- what's going to happen if I post my trashy recovery prompt and the mod doesn't like it? Maybe the mod would ... I dunno -- offer more clarity?!!! I'd rather post and get my post frozen and therefore know where the line is that way, than to stress about posting and end up not posting at all.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
