The true AO3 experience is trying to remember a very specific fic you read some time between 2013 and 2019 but you can only remember two of the characters, a vague idea of the plot outside of one specific scene, and you have no clue what the tags could have been.

It's hilarious to me when people complain about AO3 and its policies, and what they allow on the site - but it's ESPECIALLY funny when people complain like "Why can't the freaks make their own site and just go there?"

Sweetie... AO3 is the site for that. Y'all invaded our space.

Wattpad and FFN still exist. Go there. They're as shitty and G-rated as you want. You can't have the luxuries that AO3 offers if you're gonna be a little bitch about its policies. Imagine walking into a strip club and complaining about the alcohol and naked ladies when there's a god damn Dennys next door you could have gone to. Christ.

that persuasion trailer was incredibly obnoxious. i’m fine with tongue-in-cheek adaptations but why call it ‘persuasion’ if it’s just going to be a quirky episode of dickinson? that cutesy meta-style of comedy is so tonally wrong and clashes so awkwardly with the characters and  themes of the novel. and like, northanger abbey was right there!  it’s so much more suited for this meta-comedy angle, i mean hell, that novel is meta in itself (it sends up the Gothic genre) and the heroine lives in her head so much she’d be perfect for the ‘stare into the camera like i’m on the office’ gimmick. instead, they went with… Austen’s most sober & reflective work for a mockumentary. cool.

idk if this makes sense but anne and wentworth are talking to each other way too much in the persuasion trailer?? like they aren't supposed to have a proper conversation until the end of the book lmao

it was actually almost instantaneous, when the depp v heard decision was announced, that i very suddenly stopped getting the constant youtube recommendations for stupid fucking “amber heard caught in LIES on the stand”; “johnny’s lawyer objecting to everything amber heard says for 5 minutes”; “evil demon slut toooootally taking drugs right there on the stand” videos. i’ve been getting anywhere from 2-10 of them on the homepage every single day for weeks, regardless of if i watch them or not and especially when i’ve recently cleared cookies. now, suddenly, radio silence. mozilla’s ‘pocket’ feature has actually even started suggesting articles pondering what we can all learn from the public treatment of amber heard.

it’s like, almost as though someone was uhh, paying to push propaganda to the public? the online public that also included the very unsequestered jury members who would be making the decision on the case? and almost like now the decision has been made & that force is no longer needed, the whole thing has been dropped?

nah, i’m probably just imagining it. that totally couldn’t be what’s happening. it’s not like any particular media outlets have been caught doing anything like that. i’m sure there couldn’t be any others out there doing the same thing either. this is probably all completely normal

the first time i heard erik call raoul a "slave of fashion" i laughed so hard because this is the same man who refuses to wear anything other than the finest of suits and considers a long billowing cloak an everyday necessity

I love how tumblr is reverse chronological order so when your mutual starts having a blorbo breakdown overnight you get to start with the insane conclusion and work your way back to where they first went off the rails.
