cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them
cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.
cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

I'd like to say "this will find its audience" but the truth is I just didn't know how to tag this
so either it'll find its audience or it'll get like 0 notes

no but how much audacity and sheer entitlement do you have to have to tell people they need to stop posting their darkfic and porn fic and any other fic you donât like to ao3 so you can have a safe space when ao3 was literally created as a safe space for writers to post their content without fear of it being randomly wiped out by pro-censorship assholes with an agenda like what has happened to plenty of other fic archives before?
âbut a lot of us see ao3 as a safe space to get away from that kind of nasty contentâ - lol you can see the middle of a busy interstate as a safe space all you want too but that doesnât mean that you get to walk into the road and scream at all the cars going by that theyâre the ones infringing on your safe space either
ao3 is not, has never been, and will never be a site meant for nothing but childrenâs stories. you can âsee itâ like that as much as you want but thereâs a difference between fiction and reality and that view of what ao3 is like is as fictional as the stories posted on it.
Caveat your policies and principles, because thereâs a mad difference between childrenâs stories and stories that are harmful across the board.
A lot of writers on ao3 donât care to tag their stories appropriately, or consider the harm they perpetrate with their stories, or take responsibility for the harm they cause with their stories. Itâs one thing to write whatever you want, itâs another to publish it, publicise it, and not take care enough to note if itâs harmful.
Letâs be honest, a lot of supposed âdark ficâ is generally just exploitive masturbatory fantasy. Itâs often written by ppl who donât care what bigotry they perpetuate, what harmful tropes they use, any of that, as long as they get their kicks.
You can write what you want, but if you choose to post it publicly, you need to be prepared for an audience that has its own opinions. And the audience might say, âThis archive needs a better policyâ.
The audience might - but AO3 wasnât created for the audience. It was created for the authors, so theyâd have a place to post their fics that kept getting thrown off of other sites.
You might think those sites were correct and some kinds of content shouldnât be allowed in public anywhere. In which case, you might want to stay away from AO3, because it was explicitly and directly created to host stuff that was unacceptable elsewhere. Thatâs its core purpose.
Fics that arenât tagged according to the archiveâs rules can be reported. However, thereâs not much tagging thatâs actually required: Just the warnings (including the option of âchoose not to warn,â meaning ânot telling you if any of these things are hereâ) and a fandom. They can leave off the rating, and itâll be sorted as if it were explicit.
AO3 was meant to be supportive of both âauthors who want to tag major and minor pairings, every notable trope in the story, and several types of relationshipsâ - and authors who tag NOTHING but the fandom and maybe a pairing. The âwhat tags are required?â debate was not new when AO3 was founded, more than 13 years ago. So they opted for a bare minimum of safety tags, added the option of adding a bunch more, and said âReader Beware: We donât require that tagging be complete.â
Bitch, if AO3 was just for authors, it wouldnât exist, because we all would have gotten off our own dicks years ago and realized we didnât need public acclaim to enjoy writing.
It wasnât created âjustâ for authors. But it was created for authors first, with the for-readers features being most focused on, âhey authors - how do you want your readers to find you?â
Thereâs a difference between wanting to share writing with a community and âneeding public acclaim.â
We knew damn well when we set up AO3âs terms of service, that there would be people who decided, âI am NOT putting my writing on a site that hosts THAT AWFUL STUFF.â (At the time, we kind of assumed âThat Awful Stuffâ was âVoldemort victorious; Death Eater orgies aboundâ fics, not âHarry/Draco underageâ fics, but we also knew that whatâs considered âwrongâ changes over time.) (Some of us remember when just saying you read slash could get you kicked out of a fandomâs locked email list.)
We werenât really expecting demands that AO3 change its policies, because⊠those werenât after-the-fact decisions? It wasnât, âhey, letâs build an archive, and oh, I guess weâll let the icky smut in too.â It was, âThe icky smut keeps getting banned/ deleted/ forbidden/ removed because the mods got into a fight about what to allowâŠ. what can we do about that? How about⊠an archive?â
Complaints that AO3 allows the stuff that AO3 was created to host will get zero results. No changes in policy; no open consideration; no public discussions.
AO3 is now one of the busiest fanfic sites on the internet, because it turns out, a LOT of people like a no-censorship approach. But if popularity wanes and only the ultra-kink-friendly people are still active⊠thatâs fine. Thatâs what itâs for. Everyone else has a whole internet that will host their content.
First they came for the kinky and we said ânot today motherfuckerâ
Complaints that AO3 allows the stuff that AO3 was created to host will get zero results.
Also, reminder that AO3 is a nonprofit, meaning it does not monetize site traffic.
That means that financially speaking, AO3 owes absolutely nothing to users that arenât actively donating money to pay its server fees.
Regardless of who is currently uses AO3, the people *funding* AO3 are still primarily people who believe in its core purpose of preserving fic that is banned elsewhere, because they had their fic, or fic they loved reading, deleted off of other websites.
The people who hate AO3âs policies arenât the ones paying its bills.

Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter âcovered in blood
are you normal or do you also stare at the ceiling at the fact that the only thing Will ever asked Hannibal not to do is to lie to him. do you understand? he never asked Hannibal to stop killing, he never even tried to stop his eccentric diet, he part took in it. easily maybe even too easily. he ate it up and licked the spoon, but don't lie to me. thatâs insane youâre a freak <3
fun fact: even during mizumono when Hannibal stabbed him he didn't say stop, he took it like a good boy. another fun fact? before Hannibal took Abigail's life he mumbled 'no, no no' because he knew there was no stopping it. he could of asked Hannibal to stop but he knew this was a punishment, just like in dolce. he mumbled no before Hannibal paralyzed him.
he ran off with him even after all this btw.
