my career advice isn't "do what you love" it's "do what will give you the most money without making you want to kill yourself"

you know what? fuck it *reads the fanfic I spent hours writing for my own enjoyment*

It's been bothering me how both Nya and Nyad look the same so I decided to mess with the designs.

Nya looks much more human, since she wasn't in the sea long enough to evolve. (hangs around Sunlight and twilight zones)

Nyad is a very big very fucked up creature - has been the sea longer than they can remember. ( hangs around midnight and abyssal zones)

Size difference.

I keep seeing the take that authors on AO3 need to stop deleting their fics and instead to orphan them without any explanation of the consequences of orphaning a fic and as an author I really need to say something to this.

Stop telling people to just orphan their fics.

Orphaning a fic means giving up any and all ownership over it. No way to claim it back, edit it or delete it. Yes it's an archive but an author should still have the right to delete their work if they feel like they don't want it to be up anymore.

Readers always scream for authors to orphan their fics instead of deleting because they feel like they have a right to the fanworks that is shared with them for free. If it's so important to you to not lose a fic, download it. Also comment and encourage the authors, instead of telling them to give up all ownership to their work.

To authors, if you think about deleting your fics, there are other options you should employ first. If you don't want it connected to your name, put it into an anonymous collection. As long as it's in there, noone can see you wrote it, you still can edit ot or delete it and moderate comments on it. You can even move it to anther account, just create another one, add it as co author and then take your main account off. Then you can still edit it from your second account but it's no longer connected to your account.

If you don't want it to show anymore put it in a unrevealed collection, that way, the fic won't show up but it's still there, you can still see it, read comments and make it public again.

If you feel the urge to delete your fic, try one of these options first and see how you feel about it after a while, you can still delete or orphan afterwards, but this hopefully makes your decision easier.

Only orphan a fic if you're 100% sure. This is permanent, there is no way back from that, AO3 support will NOT help you if you did it on accident or change your mind. Don't listen to people telling you to just orphan it, make very sure, this is what you want.

I saw a post (don't remember by who, so if you do, feel free to shout them out) where the entire concept was that Doofenshmirtz teamed up with Hawkmoth, but then he realizes that Adrien just DIDN'T KNOW that his dad was Hawkmoth, and so now I present to you the absolute bullshit that's popped into my head:

"So, you can put your bag down over there, and, oh-- don't mind Perry-- Perry the Platypus, this is Adrien! He'll be staying with me."

Adrien stared at the teal platypus in a fedora. It was standing on its back legs. And it looked summarily unimpressed. It churred at Dr. D.

"Oh, don't be like that," Dr. D scoffed at it, taking off his white lab coat to reveal... another lab coat. He hangs the outer lab coat on a hook. "His father is being investigated for child abuse by L.O.V.E. M.U.F.F.I.N.! What was I supposed to do?! Let Rodney look after the boy?!"

The platypus... gives in to the point.

"See?! I couldn't leave him there! Rodney would try and turn him into an apprentice! He doesn't need Evil Science being pushed on him just because his father's pursued Evilness!" Dr. D complains in an... oddly comforting way. "Anyway. I asked you to come over, 'cause I can't do any Villainy until Adrien-- this is Adrien, by the way, did I introduce him? Oh, I did! Oh, good! A-anyway, I can't do any Villainy. At least until Adrien's settled. You're still welcome over, of course, you're still welcome over, I just won't be doing anything. Well. Maybe some light planning," He admits, "But that's nothing to thwart, really... unless--" He turns to the platypus (in a hat), frowning. "Do you need something to thwart?"

The platypus, proving that he understands Dr. D, shakes his head.

"Oh, alright, well, let me know if that changes; I don't want to be doing construction while Adrien's over. I'm Evil, I have to hire the guys who used to install asbestos, y'know? Like, I don't let them install asbestos, obviously, that would be bad for Vanessa's lungs, but they've gotta get work somewhere."

The platypus makes the churring sound again.

"How long? Well, I don't know! His father's under investigation, Perry the Platypus! Don't be so insensitive! God, you're better than this...."

The platypus rolls his eyes, then churrs and points at Adrien.

"Oh? Oh!" Dr. D wraps an arm around Adrien's shoulders, dragging him closer to what Adrien is 90% sure is an oversized mute kwamii. "Adrien, this is Perry the Platypus! He's an O.W.C.A. agent. If your father pans out with the investigation, one of Perry's co-workers will be thwarting his plots every week, so take the chance to learn about what he does, alright? Vanessa, my daughter, Vanessa-- I've mentioned my daughter, Vanessa, right?" Adrien nods. "Oh, good, good-- Vanessa found a lot of comfort in getting to know Perry and what he does." Dr. D turns to Agent Perry the Platypus. "Do you know who'd be getting assigned?"

Agent Perry grimaces.

Dr. D gasps. "Not Peter Panda!"

Agent Perry grimaces harder.

"Oh!" Dr. D groans, facepalming. He sighs, turning to Adrien. "Well, bad news, Peter Panda and Perry the Platypus don't get along at all, but good news, Peter Panda is a consummate professional!" Dr. D assures Adrien brightly. He turns to Agent Perry. "He's good with teens, right? I always got that vibe from him. He was very polite to Vanessa, at least."

Agent Perry nods, reassuringly.

Adrien doesn't know how to feel about the Platypus agent being able to nod reassuringly, but, hey, it sounds like... wait. "Uh, sorry, you... you mean that every time my dad launches an attack on Paris, from now on, a panda in a fedora is going to show up to defeat him?" He tries to speak, but the words catch in his throat. Dr. D, thankfully, patiently waits for him to speak, his arm still wrapped around Adrien's shoulder. It is the wildest way that Adrien has ever felt comfortable in his life. "Wh... what about Chat Noir and Ladybug?"

Dr. D frowns. "Chat Noir and Ladybug??" He parrots. He turns to Agent Perry. "Does O.W.C.A. have a French branch? I don't remember that in orientation."

Agent Perry looks confused, too. He shakes his head.

"My dad's going to get orientation?"

"Huh? Oh, no, no-- I got orientation," Dr. D clarifies, "I was raised by ocelots, so I qualified to be an agent." He turns back to Agent Perry like that was a totally normal thing to say, and not wildly concerning at all. "Are Chat Noir and Ladybug agents you know? Maybe from the O.S.A.C.? France is close enough for Spain to pull jurisdiction, right?"

"Ch-Chat Noir and Ladybug aren't animals," Adrien managed to get out between the back-and-forth. "Or... agents." He grabs his phone, pulling up the Ladyblog. After a couple clicks, he pulls up a video of him and Ladybug dealing with Gigantitan.

"I'm sorry, is that a BABY?!" Dr. D shouts, flabbergasted. "Your father akumatizes babies?!!" He turns, grabbing Adrien by both shoulders. The man makes direct eye contact with Adrien, an intense look on his face. "Do you want to live with your father? Ignore everything else. Do you want to live with your father?"

"I... yes?"

Dr. D sighs. "...Alright. Perry the Platypus, if you could forget to mention this from Major Monogram...."

Agent Perry nods seriously, tipping his hat at Adrien.

Adrien smiles back, awkward.

"Wait," Dr. D suddenly says, suspicious. "Perry the Platypus," He calls. "Didn't those two costumed crusaders look awfully middle schooler shaped?"

Oh, no. Adrien's never going home, is he? Well... on the bright side, it sounds like his Lady will be getting some help from... a panda. Yeah, no, he needs to go home right now.
