~ Canadian (Quebec), she/her, 21+, languages: French & English ~ - pfp : Han Jisung being a mood header : SG1 judging you (yes it’s the second time they’re my header) - Posts & reblogs about my fandoms and a lot of random stuff I like - Mostly SFW blog - - LGBTQIA+ friendly - | Ask is always open to anyone who needs (or just wants) to talk :) |
I never know how long a hyperfixation will last so if you want steady content from a specific fandom I have posted about, don’t follow me because I could stop posting about it anytime.
I do post/reblog a lot tho, just about many different things, so if that’s not your gig please be aware of that before following me!
But if it is your gig, then I’m thrilled to have you here and be prepared for anything and everything I could throw your way.
AO3 has recently seen a wave of comments claiming to be made by the "AO3 Trust & Safety team", notifying you that your account has been restricted. These claims are not true. These comments are not being made by real AO3 volunteers and your account has not been restricted.
AO3 volunteers, including the Policy & Abuse committee, will never communicate with you through comments on your work. All important communications from AO3 will be sent through the email associated with your account. More general announcements will be posted on our official social media accounts or published as news posts on AO3 or OTW.org.
If you receive one of these comments, do not click on any of the links in it, reply to it, or interact with it in any way. The links in these comments lead to sites asking you to verify your identity by providing payment information. This is a common credit card scam. AO3 does not ever ask users to provide payment information, and the Policy & Abuse committee will never comment on your works asking you to "complete an identity verification process".
If you encounter one of these comments or believe your account has been compromised, please view the instructions under the cut!
We suggest that you review your account to verify that you're using a unique and secure password. Check out the advice from our Policy & Abuse committee on Protecting Your AO3 Account and Keeping Your Account Secure.
If you believe your AO3 account has been compromised for any reason (i.e. you received an email that your username changed), you can change or reset your password to ensure control of your account. Changing your password will automatically log you out of all sessions on all devices. You can find the option to change your password in your Preferences.
If you encounter one of these comments on your own work or someone else's, please report them to the Policy & Abuse committee. To do so:
Select the "Thread" button on the scammer's comment. This will take you to the specific comment page.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Policy Questions & Abuse Reports.
In the "Brief summary of Terms of Service violation" field, enter "Spambot".
In the "Description of the content you are reporting" field, enter "This is a spambot, their username is USERNAME."
Reporting in this fashion helps us auto-sort your report so that it can be handled as soon as a Policy & Abuse volunteer is available. To help us address reports about these types of bots as fast as possible, please only submit one report per account, and don't include multiple accounts in the same report.
We also encourage you to share this post and help spread the word about how to protect yourself from scammers and reduce spam on AO3.
For more information about spambots on AO3, you can review our News Post on the topic.

common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day
recent example. lady at my careers appointment had a post-it with her name on it stuck to the monitor, so i introduced myself by saying cheerfully "hello, i'm eliot! you must be [name], it's nice to meet you!" and she stared at me as if i was the stupidest person alive and said icily, "yeah, i'm [name]. congratulations, you can read."
in bygone times this would have reduced me to a sort of quivering blancmange. thankfully i am now in a place where i was able to pull back, evaluate this interaction, and say to myself "this woman should probably not be working in a customer-facing job"
if you were born the opposite sex, do you think your gender would be the same it is now or no?
(if you were born a sex that is not applicable disregard. also, put in the replies or tags if you are trans or not, I'm curious about what cis vs trans people will say)

Genuinely some to many of you would love Killjoys if you watched it there's a spaceship that's also a character. There's a strong male-female platonic relationship which is given just as much weight as anything romantic. There's the world will be saved through refusing to continue the cycles of violence done to you. There's an unexpectedly nuanced and poignant exploration of healing from abuse. There's a dystopian corporate grimy sci-fi setting containing a story that believes so unwaveringly in love and empathy and care for each other. There's a male main character who you're like oh he's going to be annoying and brooding because of his Past TM and then we actually get into his past and it's way more interesting than you assumed and also he isn't annoying and brooding about it. If none of that convinced you then there's green goo guys so many of you like smallville I know you people love the green goo there's so much green goo.
I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture.
All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line?
The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy?
Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess.
I want the fat left it.
I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence.
Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."
