I said it before and I'll say it again, when i reviewed content it to exactly one (1) person asking me not to include cons for me to simply,,,,, not. I stopped adding a "grade" (my cons list) to any and every review i made because it seemed unfair to force that in there unless i was explicitly asked to and it took me zero effort to keep whatever thoughts i had to myself.

There is nothing wrong with closing a tab on a fic you don't like, but a dislike button would the sort of precedent that made AO3 necessary to begin with.

It doesn't matter if your morals were offended, validly or not, it is not up to You what content Other People write. It Is however up to you what content you Choose to read.

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

What is going on in the brains of r/nosleep writers… how did they not realize that this is absolute peak comedy……

Just found out my link was missing 3 years later,,, why didn't you guys tell me??? I fixed it tho

Day 6 of 7 Of A Week of Halloween

Link: Here!!

Rating: T

Words & Chapter(s):  24,710 words, and it’s a completed three-part series

Pairing(s): Jiraiya/Orochimaru, and background kinda implied Hatake Kakashi/Uchiha Obito

Warning(s): Orochimaru starts this off thinking he’s going to die before he gets sent back to the past, implied torture, Danzo and ROOT exist (for five seconds), attempted but failed assassination attempt, grief, mentions of PTSD, Sociopathy (In a not abso-fucking-lutely terrible way for once so that’s nice), mentions of Maru’s labs, and past??? Future??? Experiments, also decapitation, twice. 

Background bad guys die but their ROOT so. 

All-in-all a pretty happy story for all that the warnings imply.

Gif Aesthetic: It does feel as oddly nostalgic as this looks, 

[quietlysatan]

... isn't like his entire online joke personality that he deals with his trauma via murder or something??? What do y'all think we mean even we say murder hobo?? He kills people guys

wait people actually didn’t know Jason killed people? I thought that was a joke

Nightwing: You know, when you said you had convinced Red Robin to go to therapy this is not what I thought you meant.

Nightwing & Red Hood: *stare at the recently exploded warehouse that is still very much on fire*

Red Hood, shrugging: Harley’s a great therapist.

Nightwing: She’s had her license revoked four different times. She hasn’t even HAD a license that many times.

Red Hood: Well, at least it works.

Nightwing: Still not what I had in mind.

Red Hood: Yeah, that’s kinda on you.

Nightwing, nodding: That’s on me.

Red Robin: *cackles in the distance*

Red Hood: *gives him a thumbs up*

Fanfic authors will change your entire world view and then be like "Just a dumb idea I had, sorry for my terrible English" like,,,, babe you just helped me deal with the acceptance of my mortality please,,,,,

drarry writers will publish something that rivals the great classics of the last century and the author's note at the end will say "A little blurb I wrote for Draco Makes Harry Tea and then Juggles Multiple Pumpkins Fest! This was so fun to write."

Read the fic y'all 12/10 no unnecessary angst and all around great AND hysterical

Alright, here are the uniforms and some of the outfits!

Eivor

First we have her Assassin Robes, where the ‘robes’ part is mostly just the hood and attached white cape.

Altair

Mostly the same as the original, just a few tweaks.

Ezio

Nothin new here, his is my favorite of the AC series!

Connor

He’s 13 in my story mind, but I just kinda did the same as for Altair.

Arno

This was fun.

Nikolai

Again, I like his original outfit.

Jacob

Evie

I just scrolled through some designs for her and picked one I liked.

And last but not least…

Desmond

I also have a non-Mentor version I’m posting separately.
