The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF
Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid
Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship
Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for
The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining
The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read
It’s THAT simple
I hope Ian McKellen gets his lifelong dream of making out with Patrick Stewart sloppy on camera for X-Men fulfilled with being part of Avengers Doomsday. I really hope he does. It’s truly what the people want (what the people want is real old man yaoi).
the last line was DIABOLICAL
every writer has that one cursed chapter that haunts them like a ghost. mine is chapter 29. chapter 29 knows what it did.
ao3 authors collectively agreed that althea wishes she were deaf instead of blind (iykyk) which is how i have read countless variations of her character verbally stating such (it's basically standard atp)
and if you told me a month ago that writing john walker fics would bring my out of my writer's slump i would have laughed

bucky:
yelena:
alexei:
ava:
bob:
me, in the theater:

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
