Thinking about how much Taylor probably wanted her partner to experience the show that she spent so much time creating and rehearsing, that included music they made together and he saw her write about their life and she was probably so excited for him to see it and then he just never went…And now she sings “and if you wanted me you really should’ve showed” every night and is now talking to someone that went to that show, has been gushing about it and her and it’s making me feel a lot of things.

anyways thinking abt the amount of people involved in jin zixuan’s death is gonna make me a little insane. like u have wen ning who physically did it. wei wuxian who lost control. jin zixun who planned the ambush. jin guangshan who gave the fucking order to kill wei wuxian in the first place because his son *checks notes* wanted his wife to be happy. the many other people in jinlintai who knew that the ambush was going to happen. and then jin guangyao. oh boy. jin guangyao knowing about the ambush, being involved with the hundred holes curse, hating jin zixun, and then sending jin zixuan to the site of the ambush like. buddy how many birds did u kill with that stone.

Shoutout to how shitty this roomate situation has gotten 🧍

Not even gonna hide my rant in the tags because I want people to see that I've been dealing with

-Before our campus shut down for the winter storm, I put a note on my microwave saying "stop slamming my microwave or I'm bringing it home" (this roomate had kept slamming it to the point where the door was having trouble opening)

-Next day, we find out she called her mom to come buy her a personal microwave

-During the storm break, we deep clean the common areas to see that she's removed all of her things and carelessly dumped all of our things out into drawers

-When the break ended and both of our roomates were back, she was suddenly giving us the silent treatment

-Silent treatment has lasted for days now. While it's nice not hearing her talk, she won't listen to anything we have to say

-One of the things we said: "we're going do laundry, please don't lock us out 🙏" and not once, but twice, she "accidentally" locked us out (we were only gone about 2-3 minutes per trip)

-it's been three days now, and she's been hogging up the common area literally all hours of the day blasting music, slamming doors, and singing (badly I might add)

-our other roommate talked with us while she was at a meeting earlier because I had brought up the lock-out incident and after we explained what she's been doing, she agrees that she's being really childish and petty

-after us 3 left the common area, she went right back to being loud in the kitchen

-it's the 3rd night now and I finally called an RA to see what I can do

-I can file a personal statement and get a neutral mediator to listen to all sides so we can come to a compromise (and if she breaks the compromises like the last few times she has, she can face serious trouble with the University)

-the three of us other roomates have a separate group chat and all of us agree that a personal statement would be a good idea

That is all for now but I'll keep this updated 🫡 if anyone knows any way I could get her into trouble so she rethinks the petty shit she's doing lmk <3

post series lee will sometimes walk into a room of gross male scholars and say he's been to the witch lands but refuse to tell them anything about them just to make them throw a tantrum that some hick from texas was the first and only man to be invited and not one of them to feel something

I NEED AN ENTP TO RUIN MY LIFE

Spotting a glimpse of dark poetry with Pikachu face and the speed with how suddenly both unnamed kuros start roasting me while clawing their way out at the same time is feral!

I’m being forced to ride in a telsa help

sometimes i feel really selfconcious abt how much i have to say cause i feel like it looks like im tryin to get the last word but i swear im not im just so very excited to talk LMAO i always have a lot to say. i know "talking too much" isnt like. an actual thing. because usually its just, actually personality conflicts. like i mean its not morally wrong to talk a lot or whatever. im not trying to get the last word im just chatty.

i was kinda trained to be mega self conscious by my abuser and its faded A LOT but "talking too much" or appearing like im trying to get the last word still gets under my skin. idk. my friends are chill, im sure no one i talk to thinks that of me in like a mean way. everyone ive met through gw2blr has been extremely relaxed and kind. we're all just here to play funney bideo gaem and talk abt funney littel guyes. 👍

its nice. and ive been able to regain my self confidence, which i lost when i was like. eight. i havent felt this sefe and secure in my self since I was six. That's not hyperbole. the last time i wasnt scared of talking to people or starting conversations, i was an actual toddler. im twenty-one now. insane.

anyway shout out to how chill this community is and thank you all for being so chill 👍 hope i get to keep hanging out with you and making jokes with you.

I was already excited that my cousin's baby is being baptized on St. Bernadette's feast day since she's one of my favorite saints, but I just realized that it will also be Divine Mercy Sunday!

So prayers would be greatly appreciated for little Vivian Rose as she is baptized this Sunday and for her parents (Charlie & Shelby) and godparents. 💕

you're only allowed to flirt with me if you're over 21 and actually care about feminism

aw being at a function or some gathering with danny and friends and he coming from behind you and doing that hug that lifts you a little off the ground and asking you what you up to

Being his date to an event would be so fun, I think :’) and also the perfect excuse to be hanging off of his arm for the evening.

AO3 Etiquette -UPDATED

Based on both decent and not so decent replies, I have made some changes to my original post below.

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

As well as likes, kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished it, you liked it - so kudos.

If you really liked it, you should try to comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it (so use your notes to say if you want some constructive feedback). Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. No, posting it online is not an open invitation for that. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity and just want to share. Don't ruin that for them. I've seen so many authors just stop writing coz they can't handle the negative emotions the critism brings, and it's only meant to be a fun thing shared for free (pointing out tagging errors is not included in this).

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

The tag exception is if you don't want to tag a million things or spoil your story, you can rate it as "chose not to use warnings," and maybe tag the bare minimum.

Don't censor tags. How can someone exclude a tag if the word isn't typed out correctly? There are no content bans for terms so don't censor them.

If the tags are mostly content/trigger warnings, especially if they are things considered very fucked up or graphic, you might want to use "dead dove - do not eat" to ensure people know that you're not messing around with tags and what they get is exactly what you've warned them about.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLATONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite or an exchange youve written for going public). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Instead of deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - consider making it anonymous or orphaning it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to your name anymore. If you still want to delete it, fair enough.

It's come to my attention that metaworks ARE allowed on AO3, which is something I wasn't aware of. So if you do post an essay or theory, please tag it as such so others can choose to search for it or exclude it. Art is also allowed.

The only reason this archive works is because NON ONE PROFITS. Do not link to your ko-fi or patreon or mention monetary gain in any way or you violate the terms and risk having your account removed. If anyone does link, it leaves the archive open to people claiming it's for profit and having the whole thing removed.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.
