Friendly reminder since it's this week:
We boycottinggggg đŤĄ
[for some background if u want it]
I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there â things that will get taken down on any other platforms â and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.
and no, this isnât me saying âwrite that messed up, disgusting thingâ because while, yes, write it if itâs what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered âvileâ to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.
everybody say thank you ao3
Okay so I saw this community post by @maidahselky with the idea of Simon popping into the Hail Mary before the start of the story, and trying to figure out where he is and why there's stars and what's going on before Grace wakes up
And like? I am absolutely tickled by the idea of Simon trying to pretend he was part of the crew and Grace just doesn't remember him in order to keep from like being shot out the airlock or something. His personal stuff? Oh, he already unpacked it. His job on the ship? Umm...engineer! Yeah. Why does he keep breaking down crying in the plant room? No reason, don't worry about it.
Then when Grace finally puts the pieces together and confronts Simon expecting him to be a stowaway or something Simon instead goes well I'm from another dimension where all the stars and planets are gone and I was trapped on a submarine in a blood ocean and then I somehow wound up here.
And then Grace just pauses, claps his hands together and goes OKAY never bringing that up again, let's go figure out that astrophage thing instead okay? okay great hey what type of blood was it, human blood you say, right right let's go see how Rocky's doing with that chain.
yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her
my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ârespecting everyoneâs gender identities,â would call her âshe.â after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say âtheyâ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. peopleâs definition of âwomanâ or âgirlâ is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but itâs a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?
replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid đЎ
this site has one setting
Iâm laughing, but thereâs a super useful corollary, which my husband calls âthe Red Balloon.â He was a defense lawyer and had a fair number of drug addicts come through, and there is a thing where if youâre like, on your first offense, theyâll do a thing where you can go to treatment and if you complete it theyâll take the conviction off your record. And he would tell his clients, âLook, everyoneâs going to tell you not to do drugs. Theyâre going to say it over and over again. And itâs like, if people tell you not to think of a white elephant, youâre going to think of a white elephant. But the trick to not thinking about a white elephant is to think of a red balloon. So you need to find your red balloon. For some people itâs yoga. For others itâs woodworking. For some people itâs scrapbooking or gardening or any of a long list of things to do. They focus on that, itâs a lot easier to succeed in ignoring the white elephant.â So yeah, âwatch yourselfâ is one thing⌠but the better idea is to watch something else. (Even if itâs fanfic about werewolves fucking.)
Itâs a form of productive dissociation, and is super, super helpful. Itâs easy for me to get bogged down in how much pain Iâm in⌠but some of the most painful periods of my life have also been the most productive, writing-wise, because writing is one of my red balloons.Â
There is a phrase I use A LOT in my parenting and my son gets very sick of it, but itâs true:
The thing you practise is the thing you get good at.
You may not intentionally be practicing âbeing grumpyâ but if you donât put effort into practicing ânot being grumpyâ then Iâm afraid thatâs what youâre doing. Itâs hard! Itâs really hard! Sometimes, for some things, itâs pretty much impossible and that sucks!
But being carefully aware that you are going to get good at the things you do most of is a good way to be more careful of what those things are. If that makes sense.
You gotta appreciate sometimes how tumblr works in such a way that everyone who wants to reblog this interesting or useful psychological advice is also forced to reblog the thing about werewolf fucking
im tired of this grandpa
every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower
anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what Iâve heard) itâs because they want to âsafelyâ steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since âthereâs no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by youâ because the original source has already been deleted.
THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was âao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourselfâ then it was âthis work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the policeâ (yes, thatâs how desperate these bots are), and now itâs this.
report their comments to ao3 for spamâin this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment tooâand donât pay attention to them, most importantly donât delete your works, donât feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on peopleâs works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if theyâre not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who donât deserve your time or attention.)

BONUS ROUND: Aang/Katara (ATLA) VS Kylo Ren/Rey (Star Wars)
Aang/Katara
Kylo Ren/Rey
I just looked through OP's blog and every single poll is a popular m/f ship vs. reylo (with similar results). I don't understand.
There was an actual bracket, but reylo got obliterated in round one, and after the poll was done, someone suggested it would be funny to do a "bonus round" where every tournament contestant is pitted against reylo to see how many ships, if any, reylo can beat
I hope it's none.
It is beating exactly one of them.
NOTHING could have prepared me for that

do you think we torture our blorbos in fanfic because we're ridiculously stressed and need a constructive outlet for our rage, or just because we love seeing blorbo sobbing and covered in blood?
