nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!
i will not deal!!!! that is not how any of this works!!!!
if you see people doing this shit, report it. its against the terms of service.
genuinely. copy the link to the fic or series, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page:
click on policy questions & abuse reports which takes you to this page:
if you scroll down, youll be able to report the fic right there but you can also check for yourself that its against ToS
all you need to do is explain that theyre deliberately mistagging things which is just not a thing on ao3 because its an archive.
by posting your fic there, ao3, has the right to manually recategorise tags. its in the ToS:
you cant deliberately mistag stuff on ao3; it is an archive. you cant tag for reach, and this is likely gonna get pat tag wranglers because they deal mostly with form not content of tags and if theyre tagging for reach, its gonna be the more popular tags.
so report the fuck out of them for it. most likely, their fic will just have tags adjusted and their account will be fine.
and if they keep doing it and get suspended for it, its their own damn fault.
also thats not even getting into the fact that mistagging fics is kinda antithetical to their goal of reaching more people because youre not reaching the people who want to read your fic?
yes.. that letter
I laughed. it's ridiculous.
I can understand the complain in the letter but the solutions of the problems that's been written is literally in the letter itself. I can sympathize feeling frustrated seeing only porn stuff of your fave pair, but every single fandom have them and again, the solution is there. I won't name fandoms, but I read fics from big fandoms too. If i'm not in the mood for porn, then filter. If i'm in the mood for porn, filter. the ao3 literally provides this UI for this specific problem.
It. is. not. something. new.
And imo, anon, ironically yes you should've just send this letter to the authors you want to speak with. That's a much much better solution than just stating Open Letter while it comes off as complaining and whining. If people want to say "oh it's the internet, we have freedom to say anything". I know, say it on social media then, take it on dms, hell pick a fight in the tl even if you dare.
Now this just makes you seem like a whiny brat while maybe that's not what you intended too. Majority of ppl are seeing this as something ridiculous and I'm pretty sure you will hide again, why? Seek those answers to the subjects you want to speak to, complain to them, whine if you want. They can talk about it with you.
It is a small fandom, it's frustrating yes we all know, that's the downside of being in a small fandom. Even ppl reading fics from big fandoms get fed up too. Again, the solutions are provided by AO3 since it's been there, the purpose is to curate it to your own taste. Even @gaylilsherlock says block her if you want, that's to every individuals power to do that if you don't like it. You can easily make the front page setting change to "Date Posted" so you will not see her first. You will still find porn anyway, even much more sinister & filthier than the recent ones dare I say. I'll just take this chance to shoutout for both @uhhhhmanda and @gaylilsherlock and the rest of the authors that's been posting (I'm sorry i do not know their tumblr @) for staying active in posting fics despite the lack of engagements it can be - I know many authors & readers can relate to this. Shout out to the ones who are still trying to make fics, fanarts, or quit making them. It's all valid.
But I also need to thank the anon who posted the open letter bcs I think some might post fics out of spite or this make the fandom alive and fiery again. Idk how long but we shall be grateful anyway. Whatever the fandoms are.. cute, fluffy, porny, filthy, fucked up, dead dove do not eat, be grateful we have contents to make us literally alive. I myself run to fanfics to cope and be freely delusional of my own sinful thoughts for my fave characters.
New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream
The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.
My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.
Shout out to the day i killed the queen via AO3, legendary (name of the fanfic is jigens sick adventure, yes it is a sickfic)
Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus
They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her
I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.
Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW.
Odysseus: Regret it why?
Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.
Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in.
*A couple of months later*
Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit.
Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure.
Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family.
Cassandra: Penelope, I’ve had another vision.
Penelope, sighs: Go tell your father.
#awww #wholesome greek mythology #bet you’ve never seen that phrase before (via @philosopherking1887)
rbing again bc i saw someone noting that Odysseus isn’t technically Nobody until after he blinds Polyphemus, which, correct and fair.
But consider: Odysseus is exACTLY the kinda smartass who’d chime in “oh i’m Nobody” just off the fuckin’ cuff if presented with “Nobody will believe me!” Like it’s a Dad Joke.
That was my exact reasoning! I mean, if he could come up with ‘Noman’ on the spur of the moment once, surely when presented with an opening like this he would go straight to ‘… hi, I’m Nobody’. The man may not have always been pleasant, but he *was* always wily.
I remain extremely proud of this post. It’s nice to see it still going around.
My classical mythology lecturer said that part of the joke of ‘Nobody/Noman’ is that it sounds very similar to the word metis, or ‘cunning intelligence’.
So the idea that Odysseus, a man so cunning he could become Professor of Cunning at Oxford University he might be a child of Hermes, might hear a prophetess say that nobody will believe her and respond in a way where it’s ambiguous whether it means that he is the Nobody who will believe her, or that he is the personification of cunning who will believe her … it really does make sense.

Jealousy Prompts
"Maybe I am a little bit jealous. But who wouldn't be?"
“Does he not know that we’re together?”
"Please, go with them if you like them so much better."
“You’re naive if you think he just wants to be your friend.”
“He shouldn’t go after other people’s girlfriends!”
“I’m not jealous, I’m being absolutely reasonable.”
“Have you even told him about me?”
"Jealous? Me? Pff. Never."
“I never would have thought I’d ever be jealous about that.”
“People are staring at us.” “Well, let’s make them jealous.”
“Jealousy doesn’t suit you. I like to see you smile more.”
“Hey, look at me. I’m yours and no one can change that.”
"Oh, so they are just a friend, right? That's what you're telling me?"
“I don’t like them all looking at you.”
“What would I be jealous about?”
"Maybe you should back off a little."
"I just want to have a good time, I don't need your jealousy all night."
"Why do you insist on flaunting him in my face?"
“I didn’t just imagine that!”
"Oh, you're so jealous. This is great to watch."
"This is your work place, leave the boyfriend at home next time."
"Why would I ever be jealous of someone like them?"
“He’s so obvious. It’s embarrassing.”
“Do you want to make me jealous?”
"I can't understand what you would see in them."
“Are you jealous?” “No, I’m not!” “Oh, you really are jealous! Wait, why would you be jealous?”
"Can you please stop being so jealous for one second?"
"I trust you, I just don't trust them."
"Jealousy is not a word I'm familiar with.
"Shut up, I'm not jealous!"

Hélène Cixous, from “Love of the Wolf”, Stigmata: Escaping Texts
Let’s discuss how Rain, Kim Bum and the network of Ghost Doctor confirmed that MinTak is the real couple of the drama. We’re not making it up but at the same time we’re 🤡 either way. You can see lots of moments in the BTS videos with the staff, actors and editors more than once making remarks and playful comments about it.
We have Rain and Kim Bum calling each other’s character “my love” in the tags of the first pictures of them together right before the drama first aired. Bumie commented “❤️” in Rain’s and Rain commented “Can’t come true… crying ❤️" in Bumie’s.
tvN calling them a “hidden couple” and summarizing the drama as the relationship between MinTak in one of the behind the scenes videos. The one that Rain said “In my heart, we already kissed” about Youngmin and Seungtak. It’s canon folks, the straight circus is just a cover up (unfortunately). They wished for MinTak to be endgame too but alas SK isn’t prepared for that yet in their mainstream dramas.
Bonus: prettylilthing07’s post on how the OST “You Better Not” is totally a Youngmin x Seungtak song.
I mean:
Rain 2s later:
Uee (bless her) knows her character/the straight circus is in the way of their lovel:
Kim Bum too (in a playful way) tells Sejin/Uee to leave and let him and Rain/Youngmin film their romance:
We have innuendos and a romantic movie reference too:
Nothing can convince me otherwise that they aren’t the real “hidden” couple of this story.
Sea Salt
On our first trip to the beach together I cut my foot on sharp rocks lining the shore and watched the ocean lick the crimson clean off, the salt on my tongue a slight distraction from the deep blue, the wide open, the playground sting. I’m sorry my flesh is softer than it has to be, my skin thinner than yours. I’m sorry there are parts of me I have scrubbed raw, hurt; I only wanted to be polished, untainted, good as new. I’m sorry I didn’t see the waves crashing, didn’t see any of this coming; I’m sorry I wasn’t careful, or strong. When the sea soaked up my blood that day I thought maybe it needed to drink too, needed to kiss, needed to need. I thought maybe you had always been right — when you drain my body of tears you also drain it of salt and dust so that you can shrink me down two sizes smaller and I can fit neatly into your life without taking up too much space, so that you can carry me with you wherever you go, to cities and mountains and valleys and all the oceans you’ve never explored. Tell me, please, if you find something. Tell me if you need me to search, too. Tell me if there are places you still have to visit, things you still have to unearth. Tell me if there’s any way to love you, deep blue and wide open, soft and scrubbed and thin, flesh and skin, shrinking bones, raw parts, any way at all, without letting myself bleed.

I’m so happy for them

I think it's insanity that a show that aired in 2005 about monsters and hunters, God and Lucifer, devils and angels evolved into a tragic gay love story, ended in 2020, is still trending to this day, will never stop trending, Jensen Ackles truly thinks that he's Dean Winchester irl, throwing birthday parties and all, Misha is being held hostage by CW but is fighting for the angel's gay rights in the trenches, there are tapes worth more than FBI secrets, this gay love story is also involved with American/Russian politics, is doing a better job at informing people than the news, updates not known to the public keep on surfacing to remind the people that Destiel is canon every good old Tuesday. Insanity.
