Who's Afraid of Little Old Me

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

Be my Valentine?

------------

Happy Valentine’s day! Really happy that I managed to get something out! especially bec I figured it was a perfect time to introduce some of my fave Ireland ships! I know Ireland ships are really rare bec he’s a really niche character, but all of these are really previous to me! I also wanted to give yis the opportunity to ask Ireland/any of the characters here about their relationships to Ireland! So if you’re interested, just start your ask with the name of the ship! They’ll all be listed in the tags! Hope you enjoyed, and maybe picked up a new ireland ship along the way! Lebanon oc belongs to @peonycats and Uzbekistan belongs to @itstokkii

[joseopher-deactivated20260418]

(about a problematic ship) actually i think the power dynamics should get more unbalanced and they should have less respect for each other's autonomy and they should violate more boundaries and commucate worse and fuse together in a tangled mass of tragedy until the lines between them blur and vanish and they are one single unified embodiment of unending worship

Over on Threads, I have a series going:

Spitting facts at my MAGAt aunt until she blocks me

I went from 130 followers to over 400 overnight. It’s a lot of fun! But, today, there was a fire in the town she lives in. I looked up to see if her business was in that area. It’s not. But… I saw her About Me on her business page. Suffice to say, I have even more glee in calling her out with facts!

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

you guys aren't gonna like this but if you want ao3 to be a neutral archive that will host anything that includes shit made with ai no matter how objectionable you find that

[anyasadventures]

Ugh. I hate AI fics but you're RIGHT. Just like with everything else we don't like, we can still just. Not engage with it.

[signoraviolettavalery]

no. I disagree. ao3 is an archive of fan content. as in, created by fans. An AI is not a fan. it's not a person. it can't write or create. ao3 is an archive of transformative work and chatGPT cannot perform meaningful transformative work, it can only regurgitate slop.

and yes, as others have said, ao3 still does have certain limitations. You can't plagiarize - and AI is a plagiarism machine, you can't post 'iso' or 'placeholder' fics, etc. It can absolutely choose to say the content it hosts must be made by humans without censoring the acual content.

[lynati]

^^^^^

[jolykujoh]

Okay and how are we going to get rid of AI generated content aside from the things that get tagged as such. What happens when content starts getting removed if it's under a tag.... Oh yeah, people stop tagging it as such and just post it anyway! Wow! That surely will not lead to witch hunts, wrongful accusations, dogpiling, harassment, bullying, death threats, etc. Definitely not. It's never happened before and surely will never happen in the future.

I don't like AI slop. I don't read AI slop. I don't post AI slop.*

The only thing you can do is accept the fact that for the time being, AI slop is going to be around until that bubble bursts and all these programs get obliterated. Because how are you going to read a fic that is not tagged as AI generated and then accuse someone of writing with AI? You don't know! You don't know who is using AI and who is not aside from fics being tagged as much. And if you believe in those ~AI text detectors~ you're playing yourself and are completely gullible to the fact that they don't detect SHIT and are just MORE AI machines to feed into.

AO3 cannot act on AI generated works any more than you can. Do you think reporting a fic is going to do anything? What about when people in other fandoms start reporting fics they don't like and just say "it's AI generated" to try and get it removed? Do you not see how that's an issue? The site is morally neutral. It simply hosts the works, regardless of how they feel about it. And as it stands, we do not have the tools available to truly detect if something is written by AI or not and starting a witch hunt isn't going to do anything except make the people who do use AI just stop tagging it.

*So nobody can say I like AI shit it is right there in big fucking letters

[joshpeck]

just truly bonkers how much i love lying down……….like being horizontal? unparalleled

[vikingfunerals]

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

[aces-and-anime]

Shout out to the guy who wanted to do some fun & silly little reviews but uncovered an illegal gambling operation

(Review 2)

[json-derulo]

this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime

[wedding-funeral-waitress]

JasperDasper started out just curious why everything had suddenly become about trans people and questioning some of the sources used in a book. He came out of it, 4 years later, with a 5 hour long video that connects all transphobia to less than 60 people. (I'm not joking. literally every single transphobic rhetoric and bill passed is because of these 50 or so people.)

If you wanna watch it I cannot recommend it enough; I just warn that it covers a LOT.

[vimesbootstheory]

not looking to pick fights so I'm not rb-ing but it's not parasocial to interact with an ao3 author and to respond to what they say in author notes or comments, that's just being social

ao3 authors aren't content creators, that's a real person sans public persona just sharing a cool thing they made

[pru2you]

idk where all this writing muse is coming from.

My bff texted me yesterday. She was like "It's the Prussians birthday". And I, of course, went "Should I write something for them?" and her response was "We're too far away from their birthday in any of our Rps, so yes please."

So, I give you, a Prussia/Prussia rare pair birthday celebration! (posted on AO3 yesterday, posted here today)

Title: A Night To Remember

Rating: G

Pairing: Prussia/Prussia

[valtsv]

i was so sad, i drew a little bat so i wouldn’t be sad. and now i am no longer sad.

[valtsv]

here is a little bat to banish your sadness

[conquerorwurm]

This nice little bat reminds me of this other nice little bat who was drawn in the 1200s:

[trekmemes-deactivated20220205]

[manipulated-pieces]

This is the only website where I routinely see people say things like “oh this reminds me of something I recently saw from the 1200s”

[pru2you]

And yet another fic! Another first for a pairing. This one was written for my bff who hasn't touched Hetalia since like 2011. But that didn't stop me. Nothing will stop me....

Title: All Too Well
