Logically Leo should’ve been more cautious of his powers.
The fanon idea of him just… setting things on fire for fun seem kinda weird to me cause even though it wasn’t his fault, his powers was the reason he burnt his mother and house down.
It was a traumatic event for him, especially at such a young age and could possibly trigger a panic attack or more, and all I’m saying is that he definitely has nightmares about him killing his mother.
So, no. He doesn’t use his powers except for fights, and he doesn’t and shouldn’t use them for fun because you just can’t forget an incident like that, and no matter how apologetic or funny the fandom likes to make him, he would still blame his powers for her death.
If you are an author worried about harassment on ao3, there are some things you can do to protect yourself. All images are described in alt text.
When you’re initially posting your work, there’s a section of the posting form that’s all about Privacy. As always on AO3, you can tap on the blue bubbles with question marks in them to get a pop up with more information. You have various options in this section of the form.
1) Restrict access to logged in users. This means that only people with ao3 accounts will be able to see your work, and only if they are logged in on their device. People who are logged in will see a blue lock next to the fic’s title. People who are not logged in will not be able to see the work at all, even if they are given a direct link to it.

2) Enable comment moderation. You will still receive comments in your ao3 inbox (and in your email, if you have that preference turned on), but the comments won’t appear on your work unless you allow them to. You will have the ability to delete them before they ever appear on your work.
3) Restrict who has an ability to comment on your works at all (moderated or otherwise).
Below the previous two options (which you can use either together or separately) are the options related to comments.
ALT
The default option is both registered users (people who are logged in) and guests (people who are not logged in).
Authors can choose to only allow registered users to comment, which means that any comments will be tied to an AO3 account.
Authors can also disallow all comments by choosing the setting No one can comment.
4) Moderate comments after they appear on your work.
After your work is posted, you still maintain control of your comments section. No matter what settings you chose in the Privacy section of the work posting form, you still have the ability to delete comments on your own work.
ALT
Every comment on your work will have buttons that allow you to reply to the comment, visit the thread on a separate page, freeze the thread (even if you are not participating in it), or delete an individual comment (even one in the middle of a thread).
Freezing a thread keeps the comments in place but locks the ability for anyone to reply in that thread. Deleting a comment removes the comment from AO3.
imagine you’re a fifth-grade teacher and one day a crow just flies into your classroom, steals some food, sits on some kid’s head, and shouts “fuck off”
What asshole snitched!?
No, the story is even better than that! This crow lives outdoors, but he has a human family that rescued and raised him as a chick. He is highly vocal because he talks to his humans regularly.
They have some judgy neighbors though, who didn’t love foulmouthed Cosmo, and who secretly captured him and took him to an animal rescue. He was eventually released far from from home.
When he came to this school? When he walked through all the classrooms telling the kids “what’s up?” and “I’m fine”? He was looking for someone who could help him find his family.
“He went to the only kid I know in Allen Dale and knocked on the door,” Shattuck said. That was the fifth-grade classroom where Cosmo found snacks. That night, when the kid relayed the story of the talking crow to his father, the father called Shattuck. Colpron went the next day to collect Cosmo.
Cosmo’s home now, he was welcomed back and fed sardines, he doesn’t visit the traitor neighbors anymore, and those kids got to take part in a wonderful story about friendship, corvid intelligence, and Christmas magic.
Okay but just how clever are crows??? People talk about cats ruling the world but these bitches TALK, they remember people they saw once for months, they can be highly trained… The world will be dominated by crows
“if somebody becomes panicked when you accuse them of lying theyre obviously not telling the truth” shut up ugly im a survivor who got punished for shit i never did all the time of fucking course im gonna panic when im blamed for something i didnt do
since this post is actually getting attention rn i really want to emphasize this-
many of the “tells” of lying are traits commonly found in abuse survivors and mentally ill/disabled people.
stuttering, averting eye contact, panicking, raising your volume, fidgeting, and other similar traits are actions performed commonly by these groups, especially in situations of heavy stress- such as being accused of doing something we didnt do, especially if we are afraid of being punished for doing nothing.
im honestly begging people to think critically when accusing somebody of lying for small traits like these.
do you ever just get highly uncomfortable because you suddenly think about the way your tongue rests on your mouth and you just can’t seem to get it right the way it was before you though about it
being a mcu actor has gotta be like a horror film you wake up and go to your little green screen box a man in a trenchcoat hands you the script for the day and every other line is redacted you dont even know what movie youre filming they put a nerf gun to your head that theyll cgi later and are like. say the lines tom.
I know that people usually are joking around, and this might just be special interest brain talking, but I am pretty frustrated at how people tend to care an obscene amount about what a female character looks like.
“Too feminine!” “Too masculine!” “Too childlike!” “Her breasts are too big!” “She looks too modest!” “She doesn’t look cute!”
I know that they’re usually visual mediums, but no one really goes and rag on the guys’ designs.
And it’s ALWAYS other women. Almost like real life…
Not true. Sometimes it’s creepy male feminists.
But the creepy male feminists do it to earn brownie points from the lady feminists who they want to fuck.
