I really hate the way people will use the word "pretentious" as a way to describe art that engages in intellectual topics or has an unconventional presentation; in no small part because art that is actually pretentious genuinely drives me up a fucking tree
Pretentious art ≠ I didn't understand it / it was weird
Pretentious art = "Hey wait a minute, this person is full of shit!"
I feel like we don’t talk enough about the Murderbot Diaries having the funniest possible take on aliens in a sci-fi series
I’m sorry but you cannot beat “yes, aliens existed, and sometimes we stumble upon ruins of their culture and civilization, and it’s a complete bureaucratic nightmare”
underrated friendship stage is the "testing the waters to see how much of a freak you are" stage. let me microdose being feral to see how you react. i have one large eye on you at all times waiting for you to give me Secret Permission to be a pervert or a weirdo. when will the shameless whore dam break. The Freak Rituals are sacred and time honoured and their importance cannot be overstated
I’m just thinking about how many times I’ve heard my dad on a long call with an obvious scammer and I’ll start begging him to get off the phone because I always think he’s a very easy mark and he’ll just keep going and then after a while he’ll say something like “I died 20 years ago” and hang up.
Virgin Millennial Daughter with 20 hrs of screentime a day: Dad! They’re scamming you! Dad! Stop! They will take your savings and your identity! Hang up before they SWAT you!
Chad Boomer dad with a flip phone he has not recharged since 2014: Well gee I wish I could give you my bank account number after you spent all this time on the phone explaining this car deal with me but I don’t have access to my finances because I am in Rikers for felony murder.
I haven't actively used this site in years but this grabbed my imagination so thoroughly I had to draw it
The art style just made me ask out loud "Damn, when did Calvin transition?"

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Using the butterflies in the wigs to keep track of point totals for the players was fucking INSPIRED
me every day without fail: I'll do [chore] when I get home
me when I get home:
me every single week: I'll do it on the weekend!
me the entire weekend:
all of us rn
Ppl love when the base affects the superstructure but the second the superstructure affects the base everyone loses their shit.
yipeeeeee :D

As per my last clay tablet,
CCing Ibbi-Ilabrat on this one just to make sure we’re all on the same page!
“The sesame is visibly dying” makes me lose it every time. My sesame #mysesame
If I worked in a college or library I would just randomly hang signs asking people not to do the most incomprehensible things
"Please be mindful of other library-goers! Do not descale fish in the library!"
ask our AI ass—i cannot overemphasize how much i will not be doing that
I have this saved on my phone permanently
Me, picking at my wound: ow
Wound: what did you think would happen?
Me: I don't know. I didn't know. I wanted to find out.
Wound: well, this is what happens. You hurt and my work is done a little less.
Me: what work? Bleeding?
Wound: no, not-bleeding. You seem to misunderstand. I am not the violence. The violence is no longer in the body. My job is to be a wound - so that you won't bleed out on me - and then a scar, so that you can go on with your doing. I am not smooth skin, sure, but I am not the violence.
Me, suspicious: but you come from the violence. I remember. Perhaps if I dig in a little I will find the thing, the secret thing to pull out to heal all at once and to not even have the memory of violence, which is what you are.
Wound: what you'll find inside is just tired old flesh. There is nothing here but you. Even I is you. That's why you are the one hurt when you pick at my scabs. I am not telling you anything you do not know.
Me: but the knowing doesn't help.
Wound: yes.
Me: I am still unhappy with having a wound as opposed to not having a wound, even though I know that isn't the choice in front of me.
Wound: yes. You will just have to wait.
Me: for you to heal?
Wound: maybe, if I am a wound that heals all the way. I do not know. Perhaps you have to wait for my work to be as done as it gets and for the itch to stop. The itch, at the very least, will subside with time.
Me: okay.
Me: that sucks but, okay.
Me:
Me:
Me:
Me, picking at my wound: ow
Wound: what did you think would happen?
this is what healthcare is like as a disabled person
[ID1: A person trapped under a boulder says "Can you please help me? I'm trapped under this boulder and it REALLY hurts!"
A person wearing a "rock rescue" shirt says "You should try cognitive behavioural therapy! Anxiety can make the pain worse which causes a feedback loop."
The trapped person says "can we please get the boulder off first"
"no" replies the "rock rescue" person.
ID2:
A doctor says to the trapped person, now freed of the boulder, their lower body covered in bandages and using crutches: "I'm going to need you to get under this boulder!"
The person says "why would I do that"
Doctor: it's the only way to get better! you need to build up your tolerance to being under boulders! how can you live a happy life if you can't even endure being under a boulder?"
Person: you don't have a boulder
Doctor: you don't want to get better. you won't get better if you don't cooperate. /end ID]
in terms of adaptation, it really seems to me like the odyssey (2026) fell into the same trap as hamlet (1990) did: wanting to frame a highbrow story in a way that will attract a mass audience, the adaptors reimagine the story as an action movie and cast a suitably macho lead; but, since the titular character is famously effeminate, and his most recognizable attributes (as effeminate) are incompatible with the macho role they imagine for their action star, those attributes have to go, and so we’re left with a completely sane, never-suicidal hamlet, and an odysseus who never boasts, lies, or tricks
A friendly PSA for everyone migrating from Wattpad to AO3!
Commenting Etiquette
No Unsolicited Concrit: Authors post fanworks for free as a hobby. Unless an author explicitly asks for constructive criticism in their notes, keep comments positive and critique-free.
Don't Like, Don't Read (DLDR): If a story, relationship, or trope bothers you, hit the back button. Leaving negative comments over subjective preferences breaks core fandom norms.
Phrase Update Requests Politely: Demanding "Update soon!" can feel transactional. Pair your excitement with appreciation for the current chapter (e.g., "Loved this chapter, can't wait to see where the story goes!").
Short Comments & Emojis Are Welcomed: You don't need to write an essay! Leaving a kudos or a single heart emoji in the comment section is a totally valid and appreciated form of comment.
Tagging & Relationships
Accurate Warning Tags: Always select the appropriate Major Archive Warnings or explicitly mark "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings."
Distinguish / vs &: Use / strictly for romantic or sexual pairings (Character A/Character B). Use & exclusively for platonic or familial relationships (Character A & Character B).
Site Rules & Features
No Monetization: AO3 is a non-profit archive run entirely on donations. Selling physical copies anywhere on your profile or story text violates TOS and risks account suspension.
Public vs. Private Bookmarks: Bookmarks are public by default, and authors can see everything written in them. If you use bookmarks for personal ratings, critical notes, or reading progress, remember to check the Private box.
AND DON´T USE AI.
Edit: if you do use ai... tag it
This! And AO3 allows original works as well as fanfiction, meta, essays, fanart, podfic and other fanworks, but not recommendation lists. It's an archive not a social network.
i've been struck by the whim to read mpreg fic but i'm so pro-abortion that 90% of the plots instantly fall apart for me. "i can't be pregnant!" okay well you don't have to be. what do you not have planned parenthood in the mpreg universe
