[On The Phone After Midoriya's Surgery]

Sometimes I look at really pretty art and think “I want to use this in a story”.

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

I can’t even remember which one I liked the best, it’s been so long since I last saw any of them. That one is pretty funny tho

The Pink Phink | Director: Friz Freleng | Studio: DePatie–Freleng Enterprises | United States, 1964

Academic book: this point has been fully discussed by (list of other authors ) so I will not go into it here

Me: ur really gonna make me do all the work huh

I had a thought

I was thinking a lot about Kurogiri today, specifically his relationship with Tomura Shigaraki and All For One. It’s safe to say that the three have known each other for some time; AFO seems to trust Kurogiri to guide Tomura and support his ideas and actions, and Tomura, however begrudgingly so, trusts him enough to allow for his aid with his plans and also to. Well. Not kill him.

Which probably means they’ve all known each other for perhaps, at the very least, a few years. My guess; Kurogiri, if not already around earlier, was probably brought by around the time AFO was gravely injured in the first AFO vs All Might battle. Regardless of whether he was around when AFO first found Tomura, or when AFO was injured and very slowly recovering, I’d imagine Kurogiri had to continuously provide familial and moral support to Tomura, as both the loss of his father and the potential loss of AFO had to have almost destroyed him.

So I’ve just been imagining Kurogiri, in his best attempts to comfort this small, disgruntled, vengeful kid, cooks Tomura his favorite meals, steals video games and consoles for him via his warp gates, plays said video games with him, steals animals from shelters for him to play with if he ever gets lonely, encourages Tomura’s villainous ideas, tends to his wounds, trains him, etc. Most likely early on in his life, Tomura would probably get very distraught over the sheer destructive power power of his quirk, and would probably be constantly crying and screaming about everything he touches dying (not that it really matters; Kurogiri is quick to replace whatever he destroyed immediately). But seeing that constant fear, I can imagine Kurogiri trying to aid that problem by stealing a pair of those smudge guard pinky gloves for him to wear, at least until he can get completely 100% used to touching and holding things without using all five fingers to do so. Kurogiri is in Ultra Mom Mode, he will do anything to make sure this kid is Not Sad; partly because of All For One’s desire for Tomura to become his successor, but also because. He just cares.

He wants to see Tomura succeed. He wants to see him make the right choices and create his own league so powerful that nobody has even a smidge of hope in stopping him. However many years the two have known each other, Kurogiri has developed a strong sense of care for this spoiled gremlin brat (and, if we’re being honest here, was probably half the reason why he’s a spoiled gremlin brat to begin with), and he’ll be patient with him, despite Tomura’s temper tantrums, despite his threats to kill him as well as everyone else he doesn’t like, despite his general unpleasantness.

Obviously I can’t speak much for all that’s going to happen after Season 3 and that whole fiasco, but it’s nice to think

Tfw you log into your tumblr again after literal months of ignoring it

How else are they supposed to make up for all the years of brotherly ribbing?

(But someone thinking Stan is the older sibling because he looks older T-T)

You know, your art inspireed a thought I thought you might like for a bit of “Ford taking care of Stan” kind of vibe. Stan’s hair is much whiter than Ford’s, and I can imagine Ford having thoughts about how much stress Stan was under to have his hair go so much more grey. Love your art, so happy to see it on my dash!!

Oh 🥲

I do like the idea of Ford noticing a bit more about Stan and his well-being once they go out and about sailing. Stan has definitely noticed some things about Ford as well. I absolutely love mother hen Ford and how fussy he can be over Stan when Stan gets hurt or sick. Ford also gets fussy when Stan does not so favorable habits and Ford is a little sneak about cutting off those habits. Naturally, Stan has to do the same with Ford. It's only fair after all.

sometimes i wanna write fic about my OCs but sometimes i just wanna lie in bed and go through parts of their history movie-style in my head

he must be so used to keeping his eyes open, he’d be the staring contest king
