Poldine ♪

Poldine 🎵

Poldine, Poldiiine 🎶

I’m begging of you please don’t take my cat ♪

Please don’t take her just because you can ♫

She talks about you in her sleep—

There’s nothing I can do to keep ♪ From crying when she calls, Poldine,

And I can easily understand How you could easily take my cat ♫

You could have your choice of cats 🎶

Poldine, Poldine ♫ Poldine, Poldiiine I’m begging of you please don’t take my cat ♫

Thank you for watching Poldine & The Cats’ first music video! No cats were harmed in the making of this clip, but two were mortified and one had her fur ruffled in the wrong direction by clumsy baby llama kisses.

ao3 tagging isn’t always intuitive and some tags are highly subjective but some are really really not. If I see “mutual baby trapping” I’m expecting two people in a situationship who’d rather engage in absurd manipulations and shenanigans to obtain a baby rather than communicate clearly “hey I want to be serious with you”; if they’re *already talking about marriage and kids* then it’s not babytrapping. If I see Underage I am expecting at least one Mrated scene with a minor, not “two teens kiss but don’t even get to second base”. If I see the big Rape/Noncon tag and then the authors note says “the Rape tag is cause they have sex while A is slightly drunk” then I am backing out of the fic and never trusting your tagging again!

Like! Tagging is for two populations—the people who explicitly want to see X and the people who explicitly don’t want to see X—and neither population is served by overtagging! If there was a fic tagged, idk, “Swedish Politics” because in one throwaway line someone mentions Sweden has political parties, I’d be upset if I was looking for Swedish Politics and this was all that came up. And I’d be just as upset if I was filtering out fics with Swedish Politics and missed the perfect fic that was overtagged!

Ive reached a new level of "Midwestern" and will be attending corn fest in about 2 hours.

Unironically there was a week last year where i insatiably craved corn on the cob and made buttered ears of corn at midnight for like 4 days. Corn has like no nutritional value, I craved connection with my roots.

I seriously love AO3. Like what do you mean that I get extra content of my favorite fandoms for free?? What do you mean that some of the Shakespeare-level writing is what we could only dream to get in canon?? What do you mean I can read all the content tags and warnings so I know what I’m reading and can choose what I enjoy?? What do you mean I can search and filter for specific troupes and emotions instead of vague genres?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ADS AND ONCE AGAIN IT’S ALL FREE?? Ack I’ll never get over this website lol <333

AO3 is one of the few websites I use on the regular that isn't actively trying to manipulate me into something

[mikkeneko]

you know what I appreciate about AO3. that it isn't trying to stuff its interface full of chipper little AI features. i can open a oneshot on AO3 without a modern day clippy popping up to say "wow! this sure is a long page! want me to summarize it for you?" i get to the end of an unfinished fic and don't get an offer to auto-generate a statistically average ending. i go to the comment box and spicy autocomplete doesn't try to take over the keyboard for me.

Nothing says found family like a nerdy military veteran, his ex-girlfriend’s talking cat, and their pet dinosaur all killing monsters together to survive an alien death trap

[haleingstorm]

I'm paraphrasing but holy fuck "we've all gotten really good at hiding what hurts us the most'

What do you MEAN Katia has lost so much of herself. LITERALLY THIS ISN'T A METAPHOR GUYS except it *is* a metaphor. Because she's being 'reset' back to human and her walls are being torn down so everyone can see the damage that was wrought on her. Expect except they don't get to see any of the good parts either (the hair, the nose the things that Katia wanted to change about herself) she's back to what she was at the begining of this hell except for all the pieces she lost along the way. And and!!! None of the things she's gained are obvious.

Also!! Also!!! Daniel HATING THIS PLAN NOT BECAUSE HE WAS BEING SELFISH/WORRYING UNNECESSARILY but because he *knew* what she had lost and what that meant for her. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

"I would never hurt a brother like you". Daniel and Carl who could have so easily been pitted against each other but they *aren't* because they love Katia and as such care for each other. Almost the same way that Mordiaci cares for Katia because of how donut and Carl did originally.

has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

I’m not a fan of ai, but I can accept that if someone chooses to use ai for their fics or their art, that is their choice. not something I agree with. but still not my business, and I will never condone harassment.

if anything, I think it’s better if these people feel comfortable enough to tag their stuff as ai, so that other people can avoid their works if they’re not comfortable with ai-generated contents.

that said, I think ai writers will stop tagging their stuff as ai entirely if people shame or harass them for it.

so now their stuff is still ai, just untagged, meaning there’s no way for others to know if it’s ai.

keep in mind that speculation, accusations and witch hunt harm genuine artists and writers as much as ai does, if not more.

so if you go to the “ai-generated” tag on ao3 just to harass people for using ai, just know that you’re not actually fighting against ai — you’re just being a bully and you’re also making people more wary of properly tagging their ai-generated works as such. so you’re just making sure they no longer tag their ai-generated stuff as ai. also you can be reported for harassment, and ao3 will not take your side. (whether or not you like it, ai-generated works are allowed on ao3, whereas harassment is not.)

the “ai-generated” tag on ao3 is there so people can either find or avoid works with ai (but in order for it to work, ai users must feel comfortable enough to be honest and tag their works properly, that won’t happen if people keep shaming and harassing them for it — the only thing harassment will do is make sure ai stuff go untagged, harassment doesn’t stop people from using ai).

the “ai-generated” tag is not there so that you can freely harass people with no consequences.
