AO3 will be down for about 15 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on January 21 (what time is that for me?) while we make some improvements to searching bookmarks and series, including:

adding the ability to search, filter, and sort bookmarks by word count

making sure bookmark search results are correct when you use tags containing letters and numbers

preventing series blurbs from listing tags that were only used on draft works

preventing series blurbs from listing tags used on restricted works for guests

updating series bookmark search so it only searches the tags on works you can access

Please follow our status page for updates.

"XAEL, YOURE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE- I MEAN XEAL- I MEAN XALE- I MEAN XELA- I MEAN-"

[treasure-goblin]

Omg, about ur encanto post (idk when u published that tbh, but I just saw it) I HATE Encanto sooo much for it, I hate how things got so easily solved too, but it's still (one of) my favorite movie(s) and I love the songs 😭😭 they literally went "Oh sure, first let's leave Mirabel stuck in the nursery so she has to share room with her little cousin" (which I mean, its not really bad, but she's a teenager, she's like 15, she deserves privacy) Then we can see her try SO hard to make her family notice her (singing to the children of the town about her fam / contributing to the town, just like the rest of the family?, doing those decorations for the doors, she even wakes them up in the FIRST song! She gets the table ready and stuff, and what is she told basically? That she needs to leave so she doesn't ruin Antonio's gift, and the PICTURE, they didn't even NOTICE she wasn't there!! She tries so hard, but her family IS against her, and the concept art?? It was WORSE. In the concept art, even Casita was going to hate her and be mean to her. And the ending ??? I HATED IT! Literally, it was like Alma: So, this happened to me... Mirabel: Don't worry, you went through so much *hugs*...bro??? That's NOT an apology, you cant apologize to me telling me you went through worse things!! That DOESN'T justify getting treated like crap!

MY POINT EXACTLYYYYYYYYYY

UGH, it was such an unsatisfying ending. It was basically "Let's make Mirabel the family therapist, and she solves all our problems by communicating with people so we don't have to." And then her gift is just calling people out on their bullshit!!!

Which is like, absolutely. Go girl, call them out on their problems and make them communicate in a healthy manner. But also THATS NOT HER JOB???? SHE'S A CHILD????? SHE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR EMOTIONAL MATURITY!!!!

[is-acat]

And that's not even her gift!! She DOESNT have a gift. She's just supposed to be the next candle holder (like her grandma ig), and also, I hated soo much how she also forgave Isabela too?? And that easy! like, bro, she was the MEANEST to you! I don't give a Damm that she was jealous or something 🥺🥺, that's her baby sister?? That literally gets bullied in town, too (because seriously, the not special special?? That's bullying, im fucking sure of it, because if not, why would you call it that?? It's like if I went out and gifted someone without legs a pair of shoes, wtf would they do with it?? And the shoes are called the walkers or something like that) its so ughhh, also! The children at the beginning, they DIDNT knew she didn't have a gift, so why would no one tell them? I'm sure because everyone in town thinks of it as something wrong and must gossip about it, it's just soo AHHH 😭😭😭 I hate it soo much, I love the concept of this family and literally everything and the art it's beautiful and the songs catchy, but the whole execution was wrong.

[treasure-goblin]

I feel u so much... I'm 20 going to 21 and I'm DONE with everything

It feels so early to tap out but also folding laundry shouldn't make me need a nap :(

Me, the second my alarm goes off:

[le-random-yeet-up]

Is ao3 down or something?

[is-acat]

Yes! Glad I'm not the only one 😭😭 it has been acting slightly funky this past months, but I'm sure that, like, in an hour, it'll get fixed

[grimeclown]

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

[gaesnek]

[monkey-mulch]

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

[red-mercer]

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people's business

[grimeclown]

ITS DERIVED FROM "NARCO" AS IN "NARCOTICS" WHAT FUCKING BOOK

[grimeclown]

Okay you know what pulling back on my derision because i can see how this mistake would be made but narc and nark are etymologically unrelated

[headspace-hotel]

Etymology is always doing some shit like this

[here4dragons]

Good luck on your job! (A little late cuz you already left. Sorry) still, isn't there any possibility for you to change positions there? Like, just be a cashier and only that, cuz the rest sound like you need to keep doing lots of stuff and if you are already feeling the effects of it, in the long run it will be worse

thank you <3

i transferred out of being a cashier about a year ago bc it was absolute murder on my ankles, back, and wrists, plus mental state to be standing in the same spot for 8+ hours a day constantly talking to people (just constant burnout and depression and exhaustion dealing with people) and just doing the same repetitive motion :(

at least the department im in now i dont have to talk nearly as much? still do but its quick one or two word answers typically and the answers vary rather than the hundereds of times i said "hi how are you *insert small talk* and your total is:... have a great day!"

think im feeling the effects here more because theyve been scheduling me for 50 hours a week and im doing more stuff than i used to when i was working while going to school </3

it would be a bit hard to transfer positions now anyways? or weird at least considering they are ***FINALLY*** working on making me a full-timer officially. bit weird to ditch right as im making progress with them . i think anyway

[is-acat]

Oh, but still... it would be weird to ditch, that's true, but in the long run, it could harm your body to continue like that. Have you visited a doctor or something? Maybe if you go to them with a medical opinion, they could get you a partner or someone to help you out with carrying things, that would be less exhausting for your body.

[is-acat]

You could be socks! I know that position is open (because I recently changed out of it😅)

I can send you car seat pictures if you want matching with Cal and Onyx and Dragon!

Oh! Socks so cuteee, yes please 🩷

[furrypost-generator]

indecipherable text lost to time

[40ouncesandamule]

thank you for explaining because ever since I first saw this post, the phrase "nurning annintant" has been burning a hole through the back of my skull

[poetry-protest-pornography]

I also came up with "nurning annintant" and am fully crying laughing about it
