Erection And Election Are Spelled Almost Exactly The Same And When U Think About It They Basically Mean

Being on the aromantic spectrum is interesting cause there’s so many experiences that I can have in a single day-

me: omg! Look at that happy couple holding hands! So cute

also me: Led Zeppelin if you say “Whole Lotta Love” one more time!

One day I’ll use this on someone (me being the nb one)

Whaddaya mean this isn’t how it went?

I only see 1 clown here Dean

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!

Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.

Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3

Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.

Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.

Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.

Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.

Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

I LOVE THIS TAKE

I love the concept of sword and shield and having that as a cultural role dynamic!!

It fits in so so so well. Especially since Mando values are so intrinsically inclined with family, and what do warriors do for their family? They protect them at all costs and they fight for them. I also think it’d be so cool imagining this dynamic in action. Like imagine a chaotic mando kid being saved by their shield parent from a fire or a mynock or even from trying to take a piece of Uji cake from the pan before it’s done cooking in the fire. Or maybe the kid sometimes learns to hunt with their sword parent!

I just think the kids would also be more well rounded as warriors too as they grow up with learning defense and offense tactics by watching and learning from their parents. And as they get older they realize more about themselves and how they react and think “am I more of a protector first by shielding my loved ones or do I protect by taking out the threat first?” Who knows maybe some mando parents totally take turns hunting and guarding their ade too!

It kinda reminds me of eagles or Shriek hawks in universe, one parent guards the nest while the other hunts for the family and they take turns guarding so the other parent can have a break and stretch their wings or rest with the kiddos. Penguins especially! I wonder if the sword may take week long hunting trips with the whole family sometimes? That could be really fun!

Thoughts aside I just think you’re a total genius!! thank you so much for sharing!!

I’ve always personally headcanoned that if Mandalorians DID have certain stereotypical family/relationship roles it wouldn’t be anywhere close to gendered, like one person is the man and one person is the woman. It would be like, one person is the shield and one person is the sword. One is the guard and one is the hunter. The bigger and stronger of the two — traditionally, though obviously every marriage would be different and most wouldn’t conform exactly, especially with polyamory — might be the one to stay home and guard the kids and the clan. While the faster, more maneuverable and perhaps deadlier of the two went out and hunted, provided, initiated raids. A Mandalorian couple fighting together would be so dangerous for so many reasons but principally because if they’re both there it probably means you’re on their territory and both the guard and the hunter are after you, and now you’re seriously fucked.

Cas: can you explain the text you sent me last night?

Dean: it was autocorrect

Cas: autocorrect wrote “you’re so hot please step on me”?

Dean, sweating: yes

i have a folder in my computer called "just in case" where i have important documents saved, like the constitution (since trump REMOVED IT from whitehouse.gov) and books that might get banned

im obviously going to add more, if anyone has any reccomendations please let me know. just wanted to share because i think its a good idea going into these next 4+ years.

EDIT i've also added a clip of elon doing the nazi salute because its taken down a lot of places and likely will be removed everywhere. as well as screenshots of what happened when you searched "presidents in order" (it did not show biden) and "president from 2020-2024" (it showed trump) but have since been fixed
