More Tumblr x AO3 art. Anyone else remember when the archive was in the hospital for like 3 days? Yeahahahah that was scary

...also AO3 would get stabbed and then say 'im sorry for the mess' dksflakdfj;as

HEYYYY TUMBLLR.....

so I did a thing.

Y'know how Tumblr and Ao3 got married? You know how it's a joke ship? Yeah so somehow my ADHD brain got so hyperfixated on it that somehow I made lore.

Basically, AO3 is known as archivist, but we'll call em AO3 for the sake of recognizability. AO3 was spawned in in this backrooms-like world that is his massive library of whatever-amount-of-books they said they had.

After they spawn in, they realize they have no memory of any past. The only thing they have is a bag and the orb of light that hangs above their head as a way to light up the area around them and see the fics. The orb of light isn't visible to other apps but others can see that light is emmited from the area surrounding AO3.

Anyways, enough about the light. The library is filled with "consumers" or "readers" but I think consumers sound scarier. We can call them readers when they acctually read.

When AO3 first comes across one of these "consumers" their first instinct is to protect themself by grabbing a book and threatening to hit the consumer.

However, instead of the consumer attacking AO3 like AO3 thought it would, AO3 discovers that the books-- or "fics" fascinate the consumers. The consumer, when faced with the fic, seemed to become much more docile.

Once the consumer comes in contact with the fic, the consumer turns into a more of a "character" which aligns with the fic. (Note: not any character from the fandom but just something that matches the fandoms world y'know what I mean? Like how people make personas yeah?)

How did AO3 know what the fic was about? Shhhh.... Don't question ao3. Maybe they mind read books.

Anywho, later, AO3 discovers that they were a bit off. In order to find keep the consumers/readers happy, he must find their fandoms fics and hand them some.

So, while doing this they're also on a search for an "everything fic" so they can keep themselves protected at all times, and keep the consumers satisfied until they find the right fic.

And yes.

They do find it.

Were pretending that exists for now because I don't know if it actually does. I don't think it does. But authors never fail to amaze me.

Anyways. When AO3 gets the hang of their job, they find that they enjoy doing it. They enjoy making these consumers-- no. readers-- happy. They enjoy making the readers happy.

And later on, after a long while, they stumble upon the edge of their library, and find that they can leave to other backrooms-like spaces. One being twitters.

Twitter though, in more current times, has been going through this-- corruption. It has AO3 and other apps concerned, and ready to distance themselves. But mostly, they miss who Twitter used to be, or atleast-- some of who they used to be.

Once AO3 enters, they stumble across someone already with Twitter. Someone... Familiar. Someone they feel like they know from somewhere, but they're not sure where...

Tumblr?

Here's my character designs for them btw :3

Okay that's all for today I will be posting more tho hopefully (if u guys like it) <3

It'd been worse before. Logically, Tumblr knew that was true. They still had nightmares of the DDOS attack, the fear of their partner being attacked and there being nothing they could do about it except watch their users spiral at the loss of their mom while barely keeping them and themself together. So yes, they knew it had logically been worse. But emotion and logic didn't necessarily mix, and emotionally, this was still a nightmare. Because they weren't staying.

They got better. They reopened. They came home. But they didn't stay. And that was so much worse. With regular maintenance, Tumblr was worried but pushed through it because Archive always came out better. They would smile that beautiful smile and tell them that they had nothing to worry about. Even with the DDOS attack, they bounced back. But they couldn't this time. It was supposed to be months between incidents not days, and certainly not hours. And the worst part was they didn't know why this was happening. If it was another attack of some kind. When their partner would be back.

So Tumblr did what they always did. Wait. Because it was all they could do. They'd wait, keep an eye on their users, and pray to whatever deity would listen that Archive recovers soon. Because they didn't know what they'd do if they didn't.

Here's some Tag team to hold us over until mom recovers, using the amazing designs by @allykatsart .
