That’s progress. That’s big progress

one fairly common experience of gifted children is wishing for pain. wishing you had some great big horrible thing in your past so that you can justify the pain you’re in, and so that you’ll deserve help. it’s exhausting and it fucks you up and to anyone out there who feels like they haven’t suffered enough to get help: you’re allowed to want help. you’re in enough pain. you deserve to feel better

Wait that’s normal?

It’s not “normal” as in “everybody feels this way so suck it up and quit whining”.

It’s “normal” as in “many people experience pain, loneliness, anxiety, self-hatred, and other symptoms of mental illness that feel like they ‘don’t count’ because there’s no real Thing they can point to to explain it, but their pain and suffering are real and ought to be taken seriously.”

However, when I say “many people” I actually mean “less than a quarter of the population”. The vast majority of people aren’t in massive internal pain most of the time. If this post resonates with you, I super recommend you look into mental health resources, because nobody deserves to feel this way, and there’s a very real hope that information, understanding, therapy, and/or medication can work together to help you feel better.

Fantasizing about being hurt or dying in some way so that everyone realizes how much pain you’re in isn’t a sign that you’re a terrible person. It’s a sign that YOU’RE IN A LOT OF PAIN. Pain that deserves help and that CAN be helped.

The notes on this post today make me wanna CRY.

I really relate to Geralt of Rivia, because I too believe that the first step to solving any problem is a softly monotone but passionately felt “fuck.”

I’m reblogging this again because the absolute joy in this video is something I haven’t seen in such a long time that I’d forgotten this aspect of humanity.

This video made me burst into tears. Sometimes? We’re not bad.

🚨ATTENTION🚨

All Writers Published on Ao3:

This app, "Fanfic Pocket Archive Library", is lifting all public content from Ao3 and making it available through a service they profit from.

Your work has been stolen and is being used to make money for a third party.

^above are the ways in which the app makes money off of Ao3 content. The developer is called Simple Soft Alliance. Here's the app's Terms and Conditions.

Any fanfiction that can be accessed without a password on Ao3 is already available in this app. Yours, mine, every fan creator's. Whether this is illegal I do not know, but it is certainly unethical and needs to be fought. Ao3 is a site of unparalleled integrity and shows the utmost respect to creators, so this content grab is an even bigger slap in the face for that reason.

🚨Please flag/report this app in your app store. 🚨

🚩Google Playstore link (go HERE to report directly)

🚩Apple Store link (download app, then go to report it here )

Feel free to contact Ao3 as well to alert them to this issue. Let's take em down, folks. In the meantime, you can put your Ao3 in private mode to prevent any more data theft.

Please reblog and tag your writer friends. Signal boost this.

Okay, so I looked into this and would like to say: Please stop spread this, please stop fear-mongering over this app, and especially please don’t bog down AO3′s volunteer support folks with messages about this app.

Why?

Because from what I can tell

AO3 already knows. They’ve known since 2015. They do not have their own version of an app and have no intention of making one of their own anytime soon. So this person isn’t stepping on their toes by making this ad that means they won’t be doing anything about it.

This is basically an ereader app for AO3. They’re not ~stealing~ your fics and selling them for profit. The app is a fancy interface for AO3. It gives you a fancy way to view the site and download fic, but it’s not actually hosting them. It’s not setting up your fic on a new site. It’s JUST allowing people a different way to view and interact with AO3.

They’re not profiting off of your fic they’re being paid for use of their interface. If people want to view ads instead of accessing AO3 ad-free on a browser, that’s their business. If they want to pay $1/month to see AO3 through a fancy skin without ads instead of using a browser that would do the same thing for free, that’s their prerogative. It makes absolutely no sense to me why anyone would WANT those things, but it’s not my business to interfere with the idiom “a fool and his money are soon parted.”

This is not to say that the app doesn’t have serious problems. The major problem I can see is that the app is completely and totally not affiliated with AO3 but gives users the option to log in- but since they are unaffiliated, this means you’re basically giving your login credentials to a third party.

So, you know. Those of you who just downloaded the app just to bitch them out and logged in to do it- the app creator potentially has your login info now. Maybe go change that on AO3 asap, and don’t use login to AO3 through this app just in case.

And if you’ve left a nasty review of this app in response to this initial post, perhaps consider taking it down or revising it with actual information (like maybe the bit about not logging in). I get being upset over the idea of someone stealing your fic to make a profit, but that’s not what is happening here, and this app creator does not deserve backlash for something they’re not even doing.

Anyway, that’s the info I could find while half-asleep at Too Early O’clock on a Sunday. Please try to be a little more judicious on what information you’re spreading and maybe ask around before spreading it, especially if it’s going to involve making extra work for the AO3 support folks who already have too much to do. There absolutely HAVE been sites found to be stealing your fics and re-hosting them elsewhere against your will. This doesn’t appear to be one of them though.
