Hinata Shoyo - Haikyuu!! To the Top - Episode 1

I think another problem with the mindset of kudos/comments on AO3 is part of the “stalking” culture on instagram. If you like a picture that is months old on instagram, its “insta-stalking” because you had to scroll through that person’s profile in order to find those months-old pictures. That is NOT how AO3 works. It’s not cringe or embarrassing to find a fic that was posted in 2012 and like it. It is there to read.

Sure, maybe some of us have some old works that aren’t up to our current standards of writing. But I, personally, am never going to look at a kudos email and think “ew omg I can’t believe someone found this fic from 2016 why are they liking it”. In fact, I am entirely going to go “nice! people are still reading some of my older works too, I’m glad they enjoyed it”. It’s an archive, it is meant to be a collection of transformative works, old and new, and you are meant to find them.

In fact, if you find a work that is from five years ago and you really liked it? I bet the author would love a comment even then.

Stories are written to be read.

Show some appreciation.

Kingdom Hearts x Tarot Cards (Major Arcana): The Fool

The Fool indicates the start of new beginnings. It requires you to be open to new things. To really think about the importance of process over results. There is no map, no set direction to follow. It’s essentially a leap of faith, in that you don’t know what it is that’s coming ahead. You are on the verge of an exciting, unexpected new adventure.
