With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.

So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

Jk Rowling will die in my lifetime and that’s so beautiful to think about

“that character is problematic” i am sick and twisted. next

Love it when Captain Robert Nash doesn’t give a fuck and just takes control like “this is my job, my call. bitch”

[absolutelyminty]

feeling some type of way about eddie explaining the things buck says to people. “buck was on the pier when the tsunami hit so he’s kinda obsessed with natural disasters.” “he takes christopher there all the time, got the place memorised.” it not only shows how much eddie listens to buck and cares about him, but it’s also him actively trying to get other people to do the same. this is why buck is telling you this, this is why it’s important to him, this is why you should listen to him. pay attention to him. care. it’s obvious how much that’s going to mean to buck, someone who came from a family where he had to fight to be cared about. and eddie does it effortlessly. he cares so much and he wants other people to care too. and like, we know buck will take any excuse to talk about eddie, and this is kind of eddie’s way of doing the same. his way of telling people what he knows about buck by elaborating on what buck says. i know why this is important to buck and i’m going to tell you because he deserves to be heard. it’s all very sweet.

[absolutelyminty]

Buck goes to visit Eddie and Chris. While he’s gone. There’s a news story about two civilians rescuing someone from some disaster.

Chim: Did you hear about what happened in El Paso?

Bobby: A bit, but I didn’t pay much attention.

Hen: What do you mean?

Bobby: Not my circus, not my monkeys.

*Bobby’s phone rings*

Bobby (on phone): Yes, this is Captain Nash. Yes. Oh. Oh no. Oh my god. Thank god. Yes, of course. Right away.

*hangs up phone*

Bobby: . . . . So, apparently those were my monkeys.

maddie is messy as fuck. she asked buck if he was in love with eddie, took a picture of him minutes later and sent it immediately to eddie. and, eddie, of course, thought this picture was the most beautiful in the world and put it as buck‘s contact.
