In this essay, I will...

the anti-ai oath

(with your hand in a bunch of pages of ao3’s source code)

I [tumblr or ao3 username], do solemnly swear that all my slop is my own, and that no ai was ever used in the creation of it,

and that while it may be shit, it is my shit, created with my own two paws.

I acknowledge should I ever break this oath, I will be banned from ao3 for life, and will face execution by firing squad.

amen.

gay men.

EDIT: that’s it, I’m turning off notifications on this post. Thanks for loving this post so much yall

EDIT TWO: this is insanely popular so imma just put in here that should kick your local ice agent in the balls

EDIT THREE: if this hits 100k by the end of the year I will let the most liked comment decide my fate. Start commenting my fate. (within reason, I get to veto things if I feal uncomfortable doing them)

They would not go on cute dates and raise children, they would punch each other in the throat and have bad sex on the couch.

Well, folks, the numbers are in. We're in a committed relationShip with @ao3org, and it's called...drumroll...TagTeam! ao3blr was a VERY close second, so go ahead and use that tag too, ya crazy kids.

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

Popular ships are so funny because with some of them I can even see the vision, but with others I see their serious believers as the flat earthers of fandom
