Fanfic is a free hobby.
It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.
Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.
You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.
You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.
Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?
Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?
I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.
Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.
Please don't ruin this for us.
Some of us need it.
sorry for finding it hot when people's hair goes grey. as if im wrong
Picked up the Boruto: TBV manga after nearly a year and I have to say I’m disappointed by Sumire’s reaction to the Borusara hug 🫠 she does know that both of them are childhood friends and former team mates right?! Even if there are underlying romantic themes I felt like the writers just squashed a wonderful female friendship over a fucking dude 😭 (has flashbacks from Ino and Sakura).
They might patch up later like Ino and Sakura but idk I feel like Sarada and Sumire were one of the first good set of female friendships in that universe that seemed realistic. I really liked their friendship 😭😭😭
ACT UP, 1990
all stories are about time loops, except for time loops, which are about grief
