#i love ao3

[s0ny2k8]

it’s me and my 31 ao3 tabs against the world ❤️

AO3 makes my brain garbage ideas look so professional and clean. How does my rambling turn into that nice looking presentable story? It’s wild how much more motivated I am to do something with an idea if I make it into a draft on AO3 to see what my fic looks like as it comes together (also helps that I then have a deadline before it’s deleted). This is why I could never write a book, I’m too used to the validation I get from posting chapters as I go on long works.

"This fanfic is disgusting!"

Bitch, nobody Clockwork Orange'd you into reading it.

[gildeddlily]

I need more content about Chuuya. like, Soukoku is the bsd couple with more works on Ao3, the most loved of the whole fandom, there are over 20 thousand fanfictions. there are tons of edits and AMV about him on tiktok and youtube, tons of x reader and fanarts. but it's (almost) always the sweet and a little dumb Chuuya.

Chuuya who's in love with Dazai and is begging him not to leave, who's mad at him for leaving the fricking mafia and "abandoning him", who's crying about being the second choice for everyone (fuck that, especially the "kouyou chose kyouka over chuuya"- you're telling me she chose to protect a 14ys girl over a 22ys man who's a mafia executive? oh sorry she should have left the child alone my bad), who is constantly manipulated by Dazai and betrayed (and content like this is made by people who love Dazai but don't understand him one bit- like yeah he manipulated the Sheep into betraying Chuuya but the Sheep were fucking assholes who didn't deserve Chuuya, and Dazai treated him fucking better than them- don't let me get started ab them or I'll never stop), feminized Chuuya, short and skinny Chuuya who likes to be the little spoon cause Dazai is the big strong man, lonely Chuuya who doesn't have anyone and basically dumb Chuuya who doesn't understand Dazai and cries to his sleep ab him.

fuck no, and I've been reposting every post that talks ab this. we want more Stormbringer Chuuya, and we don't have him 'cause not everyone has access to the novel or wants to read it. but Stormbringer is my Bible and should be everyone's.

We want more 15 years old Chuuya who carried on his shoulder a whole organization, the same organization that treated him like a damned dog, who got betrayed by the people he was sacrificing himself for the moment he tried to do something for himself, who was tricked into joining the Port Mafia (an organization he hated), who's easily read and manipulated and is aware of it, who never gave up on his humanity and worked hard and became important and strong for his new organization in a year as a teenager, who was able to made Dazai survive, giving him some sort of will to live, after like days of knowing him.

We want constantly dehumanized 16 Chuuya that got tortured for hours, that found out about his terrible origins and past, who sacrificed fondamental information about himself to save Yokohama, that almost got himself killed protecting the same person who betrayed him and fought his "brother" in order to do so, that lose the friends he called family and the only chance he had to have a life outside the mafia. Desperate because of his family's death Chuuya, in his painful corrupted form Chuuya, putting his life in Dazai's hands Chuuya, the one who beated the King of Assassins Chuuya, the one who was able to destroy an entire organization with his partner Chuuya. Port Mafia Executive Chuuya, who became who he was because of himself and with Dazai's help, who was able to become stronger even without him. Chuuya who suffered because of Dazai's deflection but understood it.

22 Chuuya who met his ex-partner after four years, stronger than how Dazai remembered him and still able to surprise (Dazai's "how fast!" when Chuuya punched him was hilarious and empowering, especially after his "I know all your moves" talk- and no, we "heard" his thoughts, so it wasn't an act stop saying that he had predicted that too when chuuya's like one of the only ppl able to surprise him) one of the smartest people in their country, who made sure things didn't change between them and made said smart and manipulative man cry from laughing over his damned rich girl impression. Chuuya who is the best martial artist and probably strongest ability user (Q is a child, and his "fight" with Steinbeck said a lot about his strength- crazy yes, but Chuuya could still beat almost everyone even without his ability) in the mafia, who could probably smash a wall with and without For The Tainted Sorrow. The Chuuya who's able to survive in a world surrounded by geniuses who constantly try to manipulate him (Dazai's manipulation is different than Fyodor's shut up), and able to be one of the most influential man in Yokohama without being a freaking genius.

Chuuya who has one of the best character developments I've ever read. Chuuya who has about him a lot of information (more than anyone else, we know you love him Asagiri) (please don't love him the way you loved Odasaku) and still gets mischaracterized again and again. this is an infodump ab what Chuuya means to me.

[arr-temis3xj]

I've read so many fanfictions that I'm starting to convince myself that Neil is actually alive and well and that Dps had a good ending

[knockoff-castiel]

I don't think this is an overreaction.

[walnuts-and-berries]

you ever get emotional about ao3 and how special it is?

[flutterbyhime]

I was browsing Spy x Family fics on AO3 and I saw this tag

And I disturbed my cat with the cackle I let out.

[milleeeeeee]

how am i supposed to stick to one fic at the time when i want to read them all at the same time

[that-gay-gal]

Woah it’s ao3 fic fanart

I’ve never drawn the 2012 turtles before so here’s my best attempt at my favorite guy (Raph :)

But uh the fic is “puppet tightly strung” by clairakitty (or @raphaelesbian on tumblr :D)

So if they do see this… hope I did your masterpiece justice :]

Anyway back to the void I go hopefully I post something else in a timely manner /hj

[opera-is-not-cool]

i love ao3 so much. why is there the tag "internalized misogyny" on a fic about two cis gay men? why does my fav rare pair only have 15 fanfics under their tag, all oneshots and by the same author? why is my fav fic by an author who's third language is english, works three jobs, has a kid, got hit by a bus, is married, and hasn't updated since 2010? no one knows. mystery of the platform

[onceandfuturelesbian]

ao3 authors i’m confused (and slightly irritated) about something

if you have multiple fics published (in the same fandom/relationship) that are related to each other- prequel, sequel, continuous story- why the HELL do you not put them in a series ????

most times, if i find a fic that interests me and realize its part of a series, i read the whole series

but if i have to go searching through your published fics, i might not (unless it’s a small number of published fics)

(even just leaving the link in the notes for the sequel would be great)

like i only have 8 published fics and i still have a series for the specifically related ones (which i admittedly do need to update cause i don’t think im gonna continue it lol)

like pls tell me cause i don’t get it

[sak-supernatural]

Ok so I did something I said I wasn’t going to do. I started watching Hannibal. I’ve known vaguely of the shows existence for years, and of course about Hannigram, but I was scared to watch it and just diligently avoided content about the show. Now that I’m in it though there’s no going back and I feel like I’ve just unlocked a huge new section in fandom (specifically AO3). And honestly it’s nowhere near as bad as my mum made me fear (she hates these types of things) and as a SPN fan and an avid fanfiction reader (going on nearly 10 years now 😱) I’ve seen/read way worse.
