The key thing about content/trigger warnings I think is “Readiness”. Yes, sure, it is to protect some folks from being triggered by the content due to having bad past experiences with it. But I also think that it's there to give users a choice, do you want to read something that might upset you or not? Like you might not have any bad past experiences with X, Y, and Z, but what if you just woke up, and the first thing you were greeted with was a bad case of X, Y, or Z? Or if you expected to see a wholesome chat room with kitty cuddles and meows only to see unspoilered sensitive content. That surprise, that shock, I don't like that.

If your client support this syntax ||spoilered text|| you should write like this: CW/TW: Description Of The Warning ||Actual Content||

Stickers

I am known as the sticker girl, I've been mostly collecting images on the internet, cropping them, sometimes editing them slightly to fit my needs. I even drew some stickers. So here's what I learned:
