sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today

[saint-ambrosef]

what "no sugar added" should mean: the natural sugars of the other ingredients like fruit are the only source of sweetness in this product

what is actually means: we added a fuckton of artificial sweeteners

[saint-ambrosef]

i see we are all angry about this

[vexwerewolf]

Organised crime? Nah girl I'm into disorganised crime. If a goon doesn't have ADHD they aren't getting hired

[vexwerewolf]

Cops can't stop us if they don't know what we're doing, and they can't find out if we have no idea either

[vexwerewolf]

Nah I'm safe it wouldn't happen twice

IMAGE DESCRITPION: A tweet by Twitter user @RawBeanCoal reads, “hug other women slightly off center so our boobs fit together like puzzle pieces.”

This is followed by a series of replies and tags which read as follows…

#i hug them straight on so my boobs can establish dominance

#i prefer head on like a car crash. make the boobies kiss

we could be doing this with balls, no homo even

#i’m usually taller so I press mine above and get a tiddie shelf

My wife calls it “Titris”

it’s called titrus thanks

the secret cheat code for women is realizing you dont have to date men

[curseworm]

this doesnt just go for lesbians it goes for bi women and straight women too. i cant even count how many times straight women have told me “i wish i was a lesbian so i didnt have to date men” but guess what … u Dont have to date men 

[curseworm]

to be clear this also isnt necessarily saying ‘go date women instead!!’ its just saying…. u dont have to date men. u dont have to be dating women in order to not date men! in fact if ur not attracted to women at all please dont date women just as a substitute for men. but if dating men isnt making u happy… u dont have to do that. u dont have to make a space in ur life for men

[curseworm]

im singlehandedly destroying every mans mental health by telling women its ok to not date them

[noname-human-being]

Every reblog = less mental health awareness for men and more actual autonomy and love for women

it should be illegal for things in drawers to accumulate dust. you were IN the drawer WHAT is your problem

[penandinkprincess]

i think i've posted this before, but ilya truly does deserve an award for his patience after getting woken up at fuck o'clock at the cottage for a five year plan strategy session when he was in the middle of a rem cycle.

like the way he asked "what is nur-ate-iv?" makes me think man TRULY was not catching all of the words getting tossed at him so fast the second his eyes were even a LITTLE open. like he wasn't asking "what story did you come up with?" he's asking "what word are you even saying to me right now?" man got like 0.2 seconds to be like "oh i'm awake now?" before he was getting PELTED with english because shane had a forty step plan that couldn't wait like. three more hours.

i would have hit him with a pillow and said let's circle back, so kudos to ilya.

[penandinkprincess]

this does make me think that if they have kids, ilya is going to be the default parent getting woken up for "i frew up"

in my heart, shane sleeps like a ROCK and is also non-functional if his sleep schedule is disrupted

so papa is the one getting little hands patting at his face at 3 am because his sleep isn't safe from daddy OR the kids

[penandinkprincess]

this also does mean that shane rarely wakes up in a bed with the same number of people it had when he fell asleep

either ilya is completely mia because he went to lay down with whatever kiddo came to get him and then fell asleep in their bed without meaning to, or shane wakes up to little feet pushing into his kidney or a little fist tucked under his arm or a kiddo sprawled sideways over him AND ilya in a way that canNOT be comfortable

shane always handles getting everyone put together and fed breakfast, but the first step of every morning routine is just a headcount to find out where everyone ended up overnight

[gaypoetprince]

@zouisalmightie

@shakespearerants

[penandinkprincess]

awww, also feeling very Soft about the idea of shane taking over when he clocks in for his shift

wakes up at 6 am alone and goes to investigate where his husband ended up and finds ilya curled up on a twin bed he's taking up almost all of the real estate on, their wide-awake child reading their little picture book while using him as a backrest, and shane picks kiddo up, sends them off to the kitchen to wait for breakfast and then *gentle smooch smooch until ilya stirs without fully waking up* hey. i'm sure twisting up like a shrimp is super comfortable and good for your back, but we have a king size bed, too, in case you forgot. just a reminder that you have some options here.

and then nudges ilya back to their room while he goes to get the rest of the house ready for the day while ilya curls up in still shane-warm sheets to sleep for a while more.

[penandinkprincess]

and shane CAN be partially roused, but his one move running on sleep brain is "c'mere" and now VERY strong daddy is holding you and you are NOT getting free until morning, which is not always a solution to a problem, which means ilya has 100% had to negotiate the release of a captive child from his husband's hold after papa has been woken for intercession because being squeezed is NOT a fix for "i frew up"

which shane??? somehow?? sleeps through???? like truly at a certain point it's just impressive

[penandinkprincess]

laughing and also awwww about ilya being lowkey kind of sad when the kiddos are old enough that they don't really wake him up at night anymore. like probably better for his health that he now gets full nights of sleeping without interruption, but i am feeling very soft imagining him being a lil sad to not be having "up at 2 am rocking an itty bitty back to sleep" or "curling up around one of their babies at 4 am in a tiny bed and telling them a story until they get sleepy again" time. at the time exhausting, but also very fulfilling and also a tangible sign that he's doing better than his father did. like HE would have NEVER considered waking his father at ANY age, so yeah tiny hands tapping his face late at night are bad for being rested but very good for knowing his children understand they can ALWAYS come get him when they need him. like yeah not great that their child figures out how to escape artist their crib (he blames shane and shane blames him for creating an acrobatbaby), but it does mean waking up to lil babby trying to climb the sheets to come cuddle, and even if it means his sleep being disrupted, handing off their child to shane to "c'mere" hold so ilya can wrap his arms around all of them and hold his family all at once is very peaceful, and he's more than a little sad for it to stop.

which does mean he faces his first month of not being woken up at night at all and one morning just snuggles up behind shane while he's making coffee and is just "heeeeeyyyyyyyyyy what do you think about another baby-"

[penandinkprincess]

GOD

and kid whose house their teenager is supposed to be at (who used staying at THEIR house as an excuse) also gets collected because they had gotten a ride from someone who isn't leaving yet even though the party is NOT fun anymore for young teenagers who just made one very bad choice that got out of hand, and ilya isn't going to wake up other adults at 2 in the morning, so other teen comes along and stays the night and gets a brief pause on facing the music from their parents until the next day.

but shane who still has a habit of doing a headcount of everyone each morning now wakes up to find?? a whole extra teenager in addition to HIS teenager who wasn't supposed to be here??? WHAT happened last night???

but also *shrug* breakfast for two more than planned, okay-

[gaypoetprince]

but also this made me think of a teen / young adult going through the horrors of anxiety or a break up and having an awful night of crying and going to wake ilya and they're like papa I can't sleep I'm too sad I feel awful I don't want to be alone and ugly crying in his arms and Ilya soothing them with sweet words "oh baby everything will be alright I'm here we love you so much my love" while shane cmeres them into his arms and Ilya's thinking to himself how the hollanovlings will always be their little babies 😭

ohhh man. apparently when you copy+paste stuff directly from claude into ao3 it includes code. which anyone can find. people have found it in big, popular fics in multiple fandoms 😬. also heated rivalry; some of which the authors fervently denied using AI. link to thread.
