Alternate universe where I literally just to go to school forever (for free) so I can just learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.

Yet again, more proof that capitalism was never about "freedom" or "small government".

Really pisses me off that Marvel couldn't stick the landing after CA:TWS. Most queer coded movie ever and they freaked and did a u-turn so hard they ran Steve's character over.

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Can we please stop with the concept of cringe if it's something you enjoy/have created? Nothing is cringe unless it actively harms someone else with intent.

It's hard enough to find joy in a world that's increasingly batshit, let's stop punishing ourselves or others for things that are innocent and fun.

The only things that should be cringe is fascism, misogyny, racism, et al.

Not the fact you wrote a stucky fanfic yesterday.

Ahhh the nice smell of comments- oh no it's entitlement towards free content.

Honestly let's talk about it, for ao3 beginners because I feel there's a lot out there. Why is this a bad comment? 1. It's unwarranted advice. 2. It's asking an ao3 author to change their work. 3. It insults the author. 4. It tells the author readers will lose interest. And 5. Fanfics are absolutely not books, very, very big difference. Personally I'm just fed up enough to reply to it directly and discuss it on here as well, because I think it's become a bigger issue in our comunties that people have lost fandom etiquette and taken up a level of acting like a paying customer that has no place in fandom.

Writing in fandom is for fun, posting it is to share that fun with others in a hopefully uplifting community. This is why it's rude and bad to try and act like an author owes you changes to their story to better fit your preference. If you like a story and later on it becomes something you don't like, move on to something else, you don't need to tell an author you don't like their fic, it's there for people who like it, not for criticism. Instead, find a fic you like and leave a comment telling the author how much you like the fic, what you like about it etc, it makes our days, I promise!

Personally I'm not too bugged by it, just momentarily annoyed, but I can see comments like these being the reason a young author stops writing, and I'd hate for that to happen, so I will yap about what's good and bad to comment. Anyways, that ends my little rant on commenting :p.

So, if you're into it, there are now two whole longform Green Day fanfics to dive into, totalling 200,000+ words.

Start with 'I Was There' and then check out 'Welcome To Paradise.' (Link is for the last ch of WTP which is spicy/NSFW!)

scrolling through ao3, once again realising the one fic I want to read is the one I have to write.

If you clicked on and read a fanfiction that had tags or a description that upset you and you were upset by it, that's your responsibility, not the author's responsibility.

If you were reading a fanfiction and you got to an unexpected part that disturbed you and you kept reading after you were disturbed, that was your choice and your responsibility, not the author's.

No one is forcing you to read fanfiction that upsets you. The back button is your friend.

If you are reading a piece of fanfiction it's because it interests you. Horrified fascination counts as interest. No fanfiction is holding you hostage and forcing you to read it.
