So happy to see that I’m not crazy and that others have noticed this as well. I usually go into the Scottish side of it all but I’m glad he speaks about the Welsh side too.
Highly rec giving this a watch!

Actually, I'm not done. Poppy War would NEVER have worked as well if it didnt trick you into thinking it'd be a "safe fantasy" for the entire first third of the story and RF Kuang is actually a genius for pulling that off #books #poppywar

On my shelf it’s alphabetical, exceptions taken when it’s a series because I won’t split it up.
Other than that it’s a pile on the floor.

Fanfiction etiquette is incredibly simple, actually. Don't like it, don't read it. No one is forcing you to, which is why it looks ridiculous to complain about it, especially if you were content warned. AO3 tags + "exclude" is one of the greatest reading tools ever. Use them properly and voila!
