creating this too waffle about windbreaker because ong this is amazing • 17 • Kaji, Tsubaki, togame and sakura fan • alt account, I've probably followed you back on my OG one
Getting off Tumblr until I'm all caught up on windbreaker bc I'm seeing spoilers everywhere, suo's laughing weird for some reason and something something neiri getting hit? Again idk
this panel will always be so funny yet heartbreaking to me because it shows Sakura was so estranged from the world that terms most people use daily and would consider common are so unfamiliar to him
on a separate note it just occurred to me that the way Sakura often eats so eagerly and it’s usually food someone else brought him is probably symbolic of Sakura’s eagerness to connect with people and make friends (ume emphasizes that food and human connection often go hand in hand). not only has he been starved of food but he’s been starved of human contact as well
Ooooh and another addition to that symbolism is how he doesn't know how to properly eat the way that's usually taught by parents or guardians however it still works! (How he holds his cutlery in reference to how he connects with people)
Kindly asking the Wind Breaker fandom to calm down and please, use the #wbk manga spoilers tag and a Read More cut, because some of you are just tagging chapter numbers which I (anime only) have no damn clue about since… anime only, ya kno?
Please don’t ruin that fandom, too like the Jujutsu Kaisen was. I am begging.
Tbh I don't know much about kaji's mum or chojis family but with kids like kaji she probably had more to worry about and if she's a single mother she might not see the point in repeating it if he's not going to listen and waste energy (probably also if she's in a loving relationship but I'm just going off what I know) and as someone who only learnt how to hold cutlery 'in the correct way' (still don't get it and sometimes mess up tbh I mostly just don't use a knife because I forget which hand is which/switch em around on instinct sometimes but I mostly hold em correcly) because my grandma was so proper about it and would kick up a fuss for years (non derogatory I love her) so I assume that especially with chopsticks in which are hard to use especially in a way you haven't before it very much (with choji as well probably) been that they learnt to do it at a young age themselves no-one saw a problem with the messed up hold due to them being young and when it did become a 'problem' they probably couldn't use them in the way they were told but could in there way so they continued to do it that way because it works and is easier for them, because it's a bit like telling the kid who can do say a cartwheel and is cartwheeling over the floor that actually it's frowned upon to cartwheel to have fun and instead you should do a back handspring as people are fine with that when you don't know how to do a back handspring and enjoy cartwheels so they obviously wouldn't learn a back handspring especially by themselves they'd just go "that's stupid" and continue cartwheeling. (Idk if that analogy is okay sorry 😭)
Obviously I'm not an expert but I assume without further facts that that is why
(also still get told off for not eating things properly even when I hold em properly, can't win in this economy 😔)
I really like hearing how other people see dissect and interpret character behavior and actions based on their personal experience and expertise
And don't worry I understood the metaphor I also really struggle with cutlery holding like spoons knives forks (this might be because I'm arab and most of our foods are eaten with your hand which I've been told I also do wrong) and especially chopsticks I can't hold really small or heavy things with them (hell i can't even hold rice with them) I was actually really happy to notice the number of characters who struggle to hold cutlery
This also reminded me of another manga I'm reading called blue period and it's all about art students and one of the characters in it holds their painting tools wrong like me (i don't hold them the same way they do but you get the point)
OMG I love blue period! but I understand completely, I'll be honest I eat wrong in so many ways (by my culture, obviously it's different depending but it's definitely more like every thing I do wrong is probably okay in some country sort of way) and I'm thankful that most 'hang out with friend foods' are ate w/ hands bc apparently even not wanting the pizza precut is weird smh lol but thank you for spending the time to reply I liked hearing about it and I'm glad that my metaphor worked.
Also on the first paragraph, I'm glad I try to stay objective but when I see characters so similar to me it tends to infect my brain lmao so I'm glad that it's not completely a bad thing

This tool is optional. No one is required to use it, but it's here if you want to know which of your AO3 fics were scraped. Locked works were not 100% protected from this scrape. Currently, I don't know of any next steps you should be taking, so this is all informational.
Most people should use this link to check if they were included in the March 2025 AO3 scrape. This will show up to 2,000 scraped works for most usernames.
Or you can use this version, which is slower but does a better job if your username is a common word. This version also lets you look up works by work ID number, which is useful if you're looking for an orphaned or anonymous fic.
If you have more than 2,000 published works, first off, I am jealous of your motivation to write that much. But second, that won't display right on the public version of the tools. You can send me an ask (preferred) or DM (if you need to) to have me do a custom search for you if you have more than 2,000 total works under 1 username. If you send an ask off-anon asking me to search a name, I'll assume you want a private answer.
In case this post breaches containment: this is a tool that only has access to the work IDs, titles, author names, chapter counts, and hit counts of the scraped fics for this most recent scrape by nyuuzyou discovered in April 2025. There is no other work data in this tool. This never had the content of your works loaded to it, only info to help you check if your works were scraped. If you need additional metadata, I can search my offline copy for you if you share a work ID number and tell me what data you're looking for. I will never search the full work text for anyone, but I can check things like word counts and tags.
Please come yell if the tool stops working, and I'll fix as fast as I can. It's slow as hell, but it does load eventually. Give it up to 10 minutes, and if it seems down after that, please alert me via ask! Anons are on if you're shy. The link at the top is faster and handles most users well.
On mobile, enable screen rotation and turn your phone sideways. It's a litttttle easier to use like that. It works better if you can use desktop.
Some FAQs below the cut:
"What do I need to do now?": At this time, the main place where this dataset was shared is disabled. As far as I'm aware, you don't need to do anything, but I'll update if I hear otherwise. If you're worried about getting scraped again, locking your fics to users only is NOT a guarantee, but it's a little extra protection. There are methods that can protect you more, but those will come at a cost of hiding your works from more potential readers as well.
"I know AO3 will be scraped again, and I'm willing to put a silly amount of effort into making my fics unusable for AI!": Excellent, stick around here. I'm currently trying to keep up with anyone working on solutions to poison our AO3 fics, and I will be reblogging information about doing this as I come across it.
"I want my fics to be unusable for AI, but I wanna be lazy about it.": You're so real for that, bestie. It may take awhile, but I'm on the lookout for data poisoning methods that require less effort, and I will boost posts regarding that once I find anything reputable.
"I don't want to know!": This tool is 100% optional. If you don't want to know, simply don't click the link. You are totally welcome to block me if it makes you feel more comfortable.
"Can I see the exact content they scraped?": Nope, not through me. I don't have the time to vet every single person to make sure they are who they say they are, and I don't want to risk giving a scraped copy of your fic to anyone else. If you really want to see this, you can find the info out there still and look it up yourself, but I can't be the one to do it for you.
"Are locked fics safe?": Not safe, but so far, it appears that locked fics were scraped less often than public fics. The only fics I haven't seen scraped as of right now are fics in unrevealed collections, which even logged-in users can't view without permission from the owner.
"My work wasn't a fic. It was an image/video/podfic.": You're safe! All the scrape got was stuff like the tags you used and your title and author name. The work content itself is a blank gap based on the samples I've checked.
"It's slow.": Unfortunately, a 13 million row data dashboard is going to be on the slow side. I think I've done everything I can to speed it up, but it may still take up to 10 minutes to load if you use the second link. It's faster if you can use desktop or the first link, but it should work on your phone too.
"My fic isn't there.": The cut-off date is around February 15th, 2025 for oneshots, but chapters posted up to March 21st, 2025 have been found in the data so far. I had to remove a few works from the dataset because the data was all skrungly and breaking my tool. (The few fics I removed were NOT in English.) Otherwise, from what I can tell so far, the scraper's code just... wasn't very good, so most likely, your fic was missed by random chance.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the cost to host the tool! I appreciate you so so so much. As of this edit, I've received more donations than what I paid to make this tool so you do NOT need to keep sending money. (But I super appreciate everyone who did help fund this! I just wanna make sure we all know it's all paid for now, so if you send any more that's just going to my savings to fix the electrical problems with my house. I don't have any more costs to support for this project right now.)
(Made some edits to the post on 27-May-2025 to update information!)
Wtf almost if not all of my fics (tbf it's like 6 and most are unfinished but still) were scraped dawg I'm not even a good writer, too lazy to write a lukewarm fic that is written by a teen are you ffs
