people saying “don’t use your full government name for your ao3”, “create different emails for work and personal use” but personally I think it’s both sad and dystopian how capitalism/companies/even schools think they have the rights to cross your personal boundaries and insert themselves into your personal life. like, I get it, safety wise, why checking digital footprints can be important sometimes. but a gay fanfiction is not a fucking threat that could ever cause anybody harm. it’s funny (not really, it’s still sad and dystopian) how they now think they can control your personal life and prevent you from having hobbies

And lastly whatever this was

NEWS FLASH! As I write this, Leftists,Liberals and Democrats in Minnesota who want Open Borders and none of the Illegal Immigrants here pres

Conservatives seem to think that a law is reality. You give them the epstein files and theyre like "erm actually thats illegal so it didnt happen"

???? I didnt know that law was unbreakable especially by the rich global elites.

They also seem to have this parasocial relationship with trump. Like "I know he would do that. Hes a good guy."

They also dont seem to be able to read between the lines. If something isnt directly said then it wasnt said.

Currently 13,000 words into writing an Aralas fic where one of the main themes is the two of them at times not quite fitting in with their respective peoples, and for Legolas, I'm finding a strange amount of inspiration from this gif:

Because when you look at the Lorien elves behind him, they are all holding the same resting stance, with their bows raised from the ground and held at waist height, as a good elven archer would.

But then, there's this little Mirkwood Prince standing at the front, with a PRICELESS Lorien bow, and its end is on the floor while he's leaning on it like it is a worthless broom, and they are all internally losing their collective minds.

Legolas doesn't understand, because having grown up in a less peaceful realm, he sees weapons as practical things, and though this is a beautiful bow, if it cannot bear his weight then it has no worth anyway.

I hate how bot comments on ao3 are making more and more writers disable their comments and lock their works so that only people with registered accounts can access their works (because while some of these bots are from registered accounts and therefore locking your fics won’t guarantee that you will be safe from them, a lot of them are commenting as guest users so locking fics helps a little), because there are so many genuine readers who read and comment on fics without having their own registered accounts.

these bots are not only annoying and harmful (if you fell for their lies and gave them money, an access to your personal informations), they’re also keeping artists and art from genuine audiences and destroying the community artists built with their audiences.

this is a post to say fuck you every bot out there.

WITH EVERY REBLOG THIS POST GETS, A BOT WILL DIE

also here’s how to spot and deal with bot comments

when I was super depressed in college I wrote 100k words of a story about a woman who gets out of a time loop after an iteration of the loop where she fucks everything up in her life because she had just assumed she'd always be stuck there, and the story takes place entirely AFTER the loop. Anyway, I just found it on my old laptop and I'm considering rereading it but also terrified. this post has no other point than I love to yap.

Wattpad: pay me monthly 🤩 and we will remove ads for you. also free offline stories I guess as long as you keep paying me. but we have censorship so keep your kinks to yourself. what we don’t have is tagging systems, so good luck trying to find what you want or avoiding what you don’t want to read lol

meanwhile AO3: so everything is free in our house. read whatever you want offline. also no ads. no capitalism. no censorship. be as wild as you want with your fics. also we have tagging systems so you can search or avoid any specific tags, pairings, relationships or characters. whatever you want.

I’m sorry but if you’re still complaining, you don’t realize how good you have it with AO3, one of the last platforms on the internet that is free of capitalism and censorship. just artists and writers creating and sharing their works with the community for free and for fun. just authentic love between artists, their works, characters, stories and audiences.

do you think that once the hobbits got back to the shire they realised they needed to slow their walking speed because they'd gotten used to walking a lot quicker around the tall folks for the months of the quest

Nothing helps the Israeli bourgeois more than pushing the false narrative that the 'Jews control the world' rather than the bourgeois controlling the world.

fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.

“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”

if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.
