it's so sad how eloise tries to respect everyone's choices & desires(she is more open that y'all believe her to be) but no one seems to respect hers...

[rapunzellovesbooks]

Yeah so let us not throw Colin into this bag, the man legit brought her feminist literature from Europe and not once has he demanded she get married or questioned it except when at Anthony´s wedding she was not being very helpful with her sarcasm...

Colin is gonna be the first one to support whatever Eloise does, yes EVEN before Benedict who left his sister on a swing to go drinking, who does not even have a single conversation with her in season 4 after meeting Sophie really and who laughed at women in society EVEN THOUGH THE DUDE HAS 4 SISTERS

Take note.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

personal opinion but, in fandom space, ai generated works are not fan-created contents. because a soulless robot cannot be passionate about something nor can it be “a fan” of something the way human artists are

Shots fired

[wingdingery]

will die on the hill of “dead dove: do not eat” DOES NOT MEAN “there are various unspecified things in here that might disturb you, so be warned”

it means “i know the contents of this bag (a dead dove) may be upsetting, so i have labeled the outside very clearly with what is inside (a dead dove), and if you look inside, you should not be surprised to find a dead dove, because that’s what the label very explicitly says is inside the bag”

i realize this is a losing battle because enough people have made it mean the other thing as to make the tag totally useless, but seeing people argue over what it should mean gives me a headache because it literally could not be clearer

welp! I can’t believe it happened, but apparently, ao3 did a mass deletion of a ship tag. Idk if it’s the supposed 1 person, but seeing how the community is reacting, it’s looking like more than 1 author got their fics deleted with no warning. I’m so disappointed it happened in ao3 and I’m just waiting for response about it because the jump of fic numbers was too extreme to not be noticed. 8k to 5k man. Ship war might be a reason for it, but again, I’m just waiting to see if my support ticket gets response. Also has this happened before? Like on ao3 in particular?

--

What ship tag?

AO3 periodically puts its foot down with serial offenders who refuse to stop using AO3 to funnel people to their kofis, and non-fanwork spam gets deleted. It's unlikely that they just deleted a bunch of fanworks for no reason though.

ETA: Oh for fuck sake. Is this fucking Genshin wank?

Stop spamming the archive just so your shitty ship can "win" some war.

And/or stop believing the people who cry that PAC came after them ~out of nowhere~ when they know perfectly well what they did.

Because people still think that worthless methodology on the Top 100 Ships means something, some fuckface posted three thousand spam works just to force their ship on there. No, not the AI fics of the show for toddlers. Machine translated repeat upload drabbles for one of the ten kajillion Genshin ships. Then they orphaned half of them or made them anon or something to try to pretend that the lurkers support them in e-mail other authors posted this flood too.

Now that AO3 has gotten around to deleting their spam, they're apparently wailing about it somewhere on social media and trying to paint AO3 as censors. This is resulting in a flood of lackeys whining to AO3 about how Concerned™ they are.

You're a sucker, anon.

Either that, or you're trying to use my tumblr to spread panic.

You can tell AO3 doesn't actually believe in deletions because Genshin Impact fandom hasn't been booted off the archive for being fucking annoying.

[butlerian-judith]

anon. anon look me in the eyes and tell me you don't think deleting 3k works in this dupespam, minimally edited style is warranted. look me in the fucking eyes and say it.

[olderthannetfic]

It's annoying enough to be spamming at all, but cluttering up the search results for minority languages is especially offensive to me.

[heljar-heimur]

Seconding @out-of-mana

This even reads like AI slop that was then translated by AI into Icelandic.

"Þeir eru í opinberu samhengi" took me out - opinbert samband could be used for being an official couple but samhengi means context.

"Hanskahöndina" is a new word, direct translation of gloved hand ... Does not make sense in Icelandic.

"Hann saknar ekki þess" ... Probably meant they didn't miss as in they noticed.... but it's missing as in missing someone and it doesn't make sense 😂😂😂

[heljar-heimur]

After replying to another post by @olderthannetfic with a bit about not reading in Icelandic because atleast on fanfiction . net it used to be just juvenelia and babies first stories in the HP or Sims fandom.... and such I decided to check out Icelandic works on Ao3.... Apparently Jujutsu Kaisen fandom is doing the exact same thing.

Do I report these? like they're all anon and they're all just short ficlets in BAD Iceandic.

[elegantsharksalad]

Fuck around and find out! The legends at AO3, and anyone else who runs these sites properly and VOLUNTARILY do not get enough praise. They did right by all the other fandoms, not just under their own, but by everyone else, especially those who have issues with fanwars, haters in comments and everything above that (which rhymes with noxing. I know probably not a real word). While they are the heroes for stopping the wars, the other heroes are those who found the fics, read them and reported them. We love each and every single one of you.

[rapunzellovesbooks]

If they do win I think we are in for a super awkward acceptance speech 😬

Why? All they have to do is get up there and thank Pitbull. Case closed.

Season 3 is for the overthinkers. The ones who always had the crush but were never the crushes. The ones who only see flaws when they look in the mirror. The ones who throw themselves into books because those worlds treat them better than life ever has. The ones who are just so goddamn tired.

Thank you 🥰🥰

I think some people made their whole personality hating on Colin/Luke Newton but it’s ok you can stop lying to yourself now we can all see he’s good looking, it’s just silly at this point.

Like this was him in season ONE. We can say he’s killing it now but he was never ugly, and frankly you can see that the “Colin/ Luke Newton is the ugly brother” hate train really started around season 2, when previously people joked that the ABC brothers were the Jonas brothers and hard to tell apart. But it’s time to be honest now. This man is handsome.

This isn’t even saying he has to be your taste- not all of the leads will be- and maybe you couldn’t see the vision because he kept his shirt on when the rest of the show was on a 3 man “free the nipple” campaign, so he slid under your radar. Or maybe you like men who look older and couldn’t rock with them using his babyface to portray him as young and cute. Fine. But spreading hate about his looks, dumping on him for being ugly, etc? Glasses can’t possibly be that expensive, let’s book the optometrist NOW.

[elegantsharksalad]

Word.

[finalbarbiegirl]

it makes me so mad how people completely forget how the marina situation actually went down. Yes it’s horrible how Pen revealed it but it would’ve come out anyway once Marina started showing and it would show the truth that Colin was tricked OR more likely Colin defiled a debutant/young woman, so no matter if she published or not it would have come out just in one version Colin is trapped and ruined + more consequences for his own family (especially his sisters) and Marina would have still been ruined as well. Also Penelope tried to lead Marina away from Colin and convince her not to manipulate and trap him MULTIPLE TIMES. AND SHE DID WARN Colin and he DIDNT listen. And she DIDNT take this situation lightly and she feels extreme remorse for it (same with what happened with Eloise) she got no joy from her actions like a lot of yall try to act like she did.

[elegantsharksalad]

If people STILL don't get it after reading this, then WTF, seriously?

[i-am-the-midnight-sun]

Colin: What are you in the mood for?

Penelope: World domination.

Colin: That's a bit ambitious.

Penelope: You are my world.

Colin: Aww...

Penelope:

Penelope:

Colin: OH.

No question. But I cannot tell you how much and how loudly this made me laugh. P.S it was a lot

[andmineisyellow]

It's absolutely vile how some individuals in this fandom are weaponizing Luke's ex to justify harassing Luke, Nicola, and other fans. The people who attacked Jade are assholes. Full Stop. But the people exploiting her just to look morally superior and excuse their own toxic behavior aren't any better.

It's bad enough that you harass the cast members, but dragging people from their personal lives (whose relationships you know nothing about) into petty drama is unkind and unnecessary.

[elegantsharksalad]

Accurate. So fucking accurate. Do they even know what they sound like?
