the children keep clipping my songs for their ‘tick tock’ audios louis. they do not even know the lyrics they are using ma musique sombre to gyrate in a sickening fashion for their sycophants to slaver over i have poured my heart and soul into my art and they have sped it up to form some sort of esthétique. louis how do i make them stop this grotesquerie mon cher please

[ib3li3v3you]

😭😭😭😭😭

[ib3li3v3you]

Why is Jacob doing the lin manuel 😭😭😭

[ib3li3v3you]

Were you there louis?

Yeah..

*broken voice* Did you hurt yourself?

Yh no im never moving on from this

[ib3li3v3you]

They failed her in every way imaginable but fuck do they love her. And lestat saying “she looked at me like a child looking to her father” and him feeling so helpless and useless at that moment oh god i need to be put down

[ib3li3v3you]

Louis peppering his face with kisses and just holding lestat and reassuring him that what happened was not his fault is so fucking important to me. Like this is what lestat needed this is what lestat has lacked his entire life.

For someome to cradle him and love him and tell him he isnt the one to blame. Louis so forwardly and openly loving him and embracing him as he was is honestly the most beautiful shot of the entire season.

He was exactly what lestat needed in that moment after 77 years of waiting for louis to realize what armand has done. I just love loustat so much

If you can’t see that this is about grief and finally being able to be with the one you love most to grieve your child together like you were never able to, then i don’t know what to tell you. They were both broken and lost from losing their daughter and unable to ever properly live due to this and punishing themselves all this time by denying themselves happiness and love. It is only when they come together again and finally strip away all the secrets and lies and give way to vulnerability and honesty and all the walls coming down (literally that shack is crashing down) that they can finally begin to heal, together and apart. They lost their kid. They never forgot her. They never let her leave their mind. She was in everything. The color was gone from the world with the loss of her and now it’s slowly coming back with the ability to hope and smile and laugh and not be wracked with endless agony and guilt. And that’s beautiful. That’s human. That’s living. To love is to lose yet continue to go on and talk of the person you lost with those you love and who remember as well and with that you can keep your lost loved one alive, together.

5 basic things you can do to improve your ao3 experience +1 thing that will not help

Get an account

There is a process to this- you need to get on a waitlist and then will be sent an email to make an account (at this point in time the wait time is about a week)- but once you have an account you unlock a lot of features that make the whole experience better, such as the marked for later list, turning off the extra acknowledgement for adult content, mute users, and you can see more fics that are only available to people with an account.

2. Use a site skin

This can be as simple as just getting dark mode (the reversi skin), or it can dramatically change the viewing experience. There are premade ones to chose from that require absolutely zero coding. Skins can also just be applied to one platform- for example on mobile devices you can consolidate tags. You can also use skins to hide works or tags you don’t like or that have a lot of fics that clog up search results.

3. Search by things other than fandom

If you love a trope and want to see more of it or love a niche character, click on the tag to search within it. You may get fewer results but it will allow you to scratch that specific itch without having to wade through 100s of pages of results. If you search by a trope, you can then apply a fandom tag on top of that so you see the characters you love.

4. Download fics

AO3 makes downloading fics super easy and you should do it! Whether you know you will be offline, are concerned that a fic could be deleted, you want to read on a e-reader instead, or you just want to be prepared for the next AO3 crash, downloading fics can let you read with no limits. The download button is at the top of each fic and lets you download a bunch of different file formats.

5. Interact with authors

One of the things I love most about reading fanfic as opposed to traditional media is that the people writing the fics are just as into the fandom as you are. So by leaving kudos, commenting, subscribing and checking out any linked social medias, you can get involved or give back to the community. Take this with the warning that authors may not want to interact back with you and have no obligation to, but to some authors a comment on their fic will make their day which is just a good goal to strive for if you liked a fic.

Even if you don’t want to leave a comment or follow an author's socials, a subscription is a nice way to feel a bit included in the writing process. Once you subscribe to a work, series, or author, you get fun emails whenever something updates! It keeps you from wondering if you missed something and makes reading your email a more enjoyable experience.

+1

Don't make it anyone else's problem if you didn’t like a fic

This is a little obvious but it is worth repeating- commenting that you didn’t like a fic changes nothing. If you don't like a fic, you don’t have to finish it! If you did finish it but wish you didn’t, that is what the back button is for. If you keep forgetting you didn’t like a fic and keep clicking on it, you can create a skin that blocks it from view, or mute the author. If you didn’t like the content, filter out the tag describing that thing using "Other Tags to Exclude" within the Sort and Filter menu.  If something is against the AO3 terms of service, you can report it. 

None of those things need to be shared with the author and doing so just makes the internet a less fun place. 

Happy reading!

Listen as though I'm the voice of God or an angel talking to you. Telling you this room doesn't matter, this night doesn't matter. You're not inconsequential or a junkie. You're a bright young reporter with a point of view. There are stories that need to be told. If things ever get bad again, these are the words you'll hear in your mind like a tape playing over and over, like a song stuck in your brain. These words will hold you up and carry you. They are your lifeline.
