"Think I'm getting butterflies but it's really

something telling me to run away"

Still frames below the cut ❁

thought I'd give bright neon colors a try. It was fun but I think I'll be sticking to pastels

hello my hand is gonna fall off

tap for better quality!

I'm gonna say it.

It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.

That is a bonkers assumption to make.

I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.

I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.

Once you start harassing people over their tastes in fiction, you've gone too far.

You should not be sending anon hate.

You should not be telling people to kill themselves.

You should not be contacting people's family members, job, or school.

You should not be sending people gore.

You should not be telling people that they deserve their trauma.

You should not be attacking people over liking something fictional. At that point, you're the problem. Not the person making things you don't like, YOU. Harassment is never acceptable.

i want to do an experiment

proshippers who aren't scared or uncomfortable with reblogging posts made by other proshippers and being openly proship, reblog this post

proshippers who are secretly or just quietly proship and are scared or uncomfortable reblogging posts made by other proshippers, but are fine with liking posts, like this post

proshippers who hide being or even like about being proship and won't like or reblog posts from other proshippers ever because they don't want their username out there on proshipper's posts, click the pole option below that best suits you (this is completely anonymous by the way, even to me)

i want to get an idea of just how many proshippers there are, and what percentage is freely open about being proship, is just secretive, or is hiding that they're proship

also, proship adjacent people, such as comshippers, anti antis, dead dove club members, freedom of expression fighters, anti harassment folks, etcetera, feel free to partake!

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

better than drugs

I wanted to draw these cuties so badly.

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.
