“sakura is overhated and much of that hatred is rooted in misogyny” and “sakura is a poorly written character with wasted potential because kishimoto has never spoken to a woman before” are two concepts that can and should coexist

the state of my life is so ridiculous. why am i forming parasocial relationships with ao3 writers?!
just remembered my livejournal after an eternity and tried to login...only to find that MY LIVEJOURNAL GOT PURGED?!?! is there actually no way to revive a purged account? 😭
this is what i get for actually focusing on my studies damn
any computer people wanna explain how the hell this works
it wont let me do shit bc i apparently have 81 gigs of apps clogging my c drive, but my largest app is 0.4gb?????? its not system applications either because system is its own segment of storage. wadda hell are you talking about
guys i installed a program to show me exactly where the data is hidden and i think i found it and youre never gonna believe it
todd howard im fucking coming for you
"thank you random microsoft customer support agent" we all say in unison
Here's your friendly neighborhood trans girl programer to tell you WinDirStat is a free open source alternative and you don't have to sign in to the annoying microsoft app store!
Don't use WinDirStat, it's slow as shit.
Real. Friendly lesbian programmer advice: use WizTree
Being like. Post-suicidal is so strange. Like hiiiii everybody im new I spent a good chunk of my life languishing and have like 3 or 4 lived experiences. But now I'm ready to fuck and party or whatever. Can we be friends. Im so happy to be here. Can we be friends

some other situation
you know OP is an american when public transportation is not an option lmao
Mako and Bolin go to racist island
It’s unbelievable how lazy and incoherent everything regarding this franchise has become.
Katara, Sokka, Toph and Aang visited the Fire Nation during the height of the 100 years war and didn’t receive a single comment about not “looking Fire Nation”, and now we are supposed to believe that +70 years after the end of the war, the citizens of the Fire Nation are so racist that they hate Bolin for having green eyes?
And what the fuck does “looking Fire Nation” even mean? Ozai, Ty Lee and Piandao are all FN citizens and don’t share any physical traits. Did Bryke forget that you can be born into the Fire Nation ethnic group and not have golden eyes?
I need to stop caring about this universe.
They've spent the last twenty years trying to catch another lightning in a bottle but completely lost the plot instead
"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."
Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.
AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.
AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:
Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.
AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.
AO3 was specifically made for the stuff likely to be purged from other sites.
It was built around "we need to own the servers" so we wouldn't have to deal with anyone else's judgment calls about what was acceptable in fanfic: Not corporate sponsors, not evangelical religious groups, not "save the children" activists... and not other fans who think that The Gross Stuff should be banned from public view, only shared via private email after you've sent in a request heavily laden with special keywords.
Some of the founders remembered when slash fanfic was kept under the table at the dealer's room, distributed with brown paper wrappers only to people who knew to ask for it specifically.
And they said: Fuck that. Our art is not a crime and we're not going to be ashamed of it. If you are ashamed to have your art next to it - there's a whole wide internet that's ready to host your G-rated genfic.
AO3 was built for the stuff that was unwelcome elsewhere.
Don't make me tap the sign but this is the sign:
ao3 is down memes bc ao3 is down :(
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO DOWNLOAD THE FIC I'M CURRENTLY READING BEFORE THE MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWN 😭
the fact that walls get dusty is ridiculous. you're vertical. act like it.
I think that as adults Zuko would have that tall lean Roku type build and Azula would have the short beefy Sozin build
This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞
The email/DM from Wattpad is so condescending. Imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also, the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑
You can publish Original Works in AO3 anyway, so I don't see why people would choose Wattpad over AO3 or any of the other non-profit writing platforms. The only thing Wattpad has over AO3 is the feature to comment on every line rather than just the general chapter comments.
imagine if your boyfriend was like I can smell an ant. and started tracking
at least two people in the world can do this
There are at least two more people in my household and i am baffled that so many people cannot do this. Its such a strong smell!
This bitch got that Ava Max haircut tho
