"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

imagine, a non-acidic gelatinous cube. its ooze is like that oxygenated fluid mice can breathe. organisms inside it bob peacefully, harmlessly, inhaling oxygen-rich slime. the cube, in turn, absorbs respiratory byproducts that nourish it. it adjusts its atmosphere to soothe and pacify occupants and intuitively ejects unwilling ones. found in dungeons inhospitable to other life, like passages filled with poison gas, it seeks out adventurers to ferry across those areas, offering a mutually beneficial exchange of sustenance.

Zombie setting where the undead are drawn towards unhygienic scents, so survivors constantly bathe to avoid being eaten.

Zombies are docile when adorned with flowers.

Settlements overgrown with herbs and flora.

Barely any banditry; everyone is focused on farming and gathering.

Different human factions and towns named after flowers like Lilies, Orchids, Roses, etc.

Instead of immediately killing an infected survivor, they’re given special funeral rites - the zombie is covered with flowers to keep them calm, and  allowed to walk out from the settlement to join the hordes.

#this makes me curiously sad #the idea of flowers covering the undead #that symbol of human love is what makes them docile

me to zombies:

[otherwindow]

Thank you all for the responses!!!! I got a few more notes to share from folks asking me about this setting :D

It’s incredibly risky to attack zombies. The scent of the attacker’s aggressive intent coupled with spilled pungent rotten blood drives other zombies into a frenzy.

Zombies given funeral rites grow flowers within their bodies, eventually bursting from their chest and head area. These zombies are naturally gentle and their presence tames other zombies in the vicinity. Due to their helpfulness, it’s taboo to harm “blooming” undead:

Sweaty summers are the worst and everyone hopes they have enough dried flowers to last the winter. 

It’s a colourful apocalypse! An overabundance of flowers in the world leads to plenty of dyes and busy little honey bees!! Scented candles are a thriving export.

Survivors who help spread flowers, look after “blooming” undead, cull the hordes, and herd zombies away from safe areas are affectionately called Florists.

Regular weapons such as guns and knives are still used but everyone prefers perfumed water guns, spray bottles, and incense.

Zombies are so overwhelmed by the pleasant scent of rain that entire hordes cease movement until it’s gone.

this is my post. do you know how it feels to have this be your post? do you understand the guilt i have to live with knowing this is my post? the weight on my soul as the decade popped into prominence with spanish flu …  2 ! 

do you know how it feels, heritageposts? are any of these heritage posts your own or are you just a curator of human misery? do you know how it feels to live knowing that of anything i’ve ever made, anything i’ve ever said, this has been seen by most people, and this will probably remain the case until i die? for this to be my legacy? can you relate? can you empathize? 

but do you want to know the worst part? the absolute worst part of all of this?

we haven’t even brought back art deco into mainstream prominence. sickening

#unless they’re a straight up pedophile#or a rapist 

I suspect you may have missed the whole entire point of having a justice system. No, the police aren’t supposed to kill people for committing crimes that are horrifying enough to disgust you, either.

You support the death penalty for rape? Fine. That happens AFTER the trial, by the state, using laws supported by the people. NOT via the mob justice of state-funded gangsters with sidearms acting on their own discretion.

Honestly this perspective indicates an understanding of justice so warped that I don’t think productive discussion is even possible until you’ve done like 6 months of education on the basic philosophy of a justice system. “Extrajudicial murder of people on the street is okay if they’re Bad Enough People” is a whole fucking red flag parade of a position to hold.
