“ao3 should have an algorithm” ao3 should continue only giving me exactly what I ask for which happens because I know how to use the search, sort, and filter functions

You know what I think its grossly under-rated in fandom? Second loves.

What it's like to love and lose and then love again. To suffer through either the death of a loved one or the death of a love you used to share. To know that loss, to know that hurt, and to still make yourself vulnerable to someone again. To love scared, to love wounded, to love anyway.

me every single time i’m on the edge of going fully insane about a new fandom: haha what if i just checked ao3. just for fun. just to see what there is. i won’t save anything or get in too deep i’ll just do some recon. i’ll just go see. for fun

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

heres what we are told. in the supernatural finale.

sam (straight) gets married to a woman.

john (straight) lives with his dead wife mary

rufus (straight) lives with a woman he NEVER met while alive but is crazy hot crazy talented crazy cool and a crazy pull.

cas (gay) is rebuilding heaven with his son. this son explicitly referred to as dean's son not only in the text but in this very episode. while bobby is explaining how every other man (heterosexual) is living with a wife he also says and dean your son is here hanging out with castiel. word for word just about. sequence of events:

That kid of yours, before he went… wherever, made some changes here. Rufus lives about 5 miles that way… With Aretha. And your mom and dad… they got a place over yonder. Jack did all that? Well… Cas helped.

your kid. heterosexual man mention. heterosexual man mention. and your kid is with his other dad (gay) (your best friend) (man who you last saw when he told you he was gay and in love with you)

so it follows. if you were dean winchester . and you are prone to crushes of grandeur when you are alive. you could conceivably go. what floor the [HOT DEAD ACTRESS FROM THE 90S] on!!!!! but this is not what happens. curious . what happnes is your friend (gay) (father of your child) (you killed yourself the last time he died) gets mentioned and you crack a smile. and drive as far as you can from your father. because?

I'm already seeing advice from people in the US to purchase queer books and other banned or "controversial" books on paper as a way to combat the wave of government censorship that is coming. While this is a good idea (it is! absolutely!), it's not accessible to everyone, and truly, we're not going to be able to consumerism our way out of this one.

If you can buy the books, do. Whether you can buy the books or not, borrow them from your library.

Borrow the paper versions. Borrow the ebook or audiobook versions. Request the titles you want that your library doesn't have. The more a title circulates or is requested, the better librarians are going to be able to defend keeping it if and when it's ever challenged.

Use libraries like @queerliblib too. The more members they have, the better they'll be able to fundraise.

Your community resources depend on you using them. Borrow the books before they go away.

InB4: Piracy is not the solution here. We're trying to keep community resources available, not make sure individual people can read individual books. Different problems.

The books are still available. Borrowing them from your library and returning them on time and in good condition will help keep them that way.

i’m just. very frustrated as an adult on a 17+ app being treated like i’m a little baby who can’t handle adult content or curate my own experience. it’s fucking stupid

[belacoded]

not to sound insane. but. my college roommate just randomly self-published a book that’s very obviously thinly-veiled self-insert fanfiction. which is fine. whatever. i am reading it to be supportive only to find out i am in it. it’s set in college and the roommate is literally me, her college roommate. i thought i was projecting but the character is literally named my childhood nickname. so. what am i supposed to do now.

[belacoded]

[talking about my favorite characters] okay so THESE two come in a bonded pair and if i think about them too hard i start taking poison damage

[belacoded]
