Reblogging!!
The exact same thing happened to fanfiction.net and Tumblr. So many people quit. AO3 is one of the very few platforms creators have.
Censorship does not solve any problem. It does harm to creators.
I think I've worked out (part of the reason) why there's been such a huge uptick in folks who don't reblog things on here.
This post has like 14k notes right now, and the tags and comments and reblogs are FULL of people who didn't know about fast-reblog, and -- you guys have been slow-reblogging this whole time!?!??!?!?
In the interests of a) making your lives easier, and b) encouraging you to reblog posts, which is what keeps this site alive, here's how you fast-reblog:
On mobile: press and hold the reblog button. Your blog icon will appear. If you have sideblogs, all of the different icons will appear. Drag to whichever blog you want to reblog to, and release. Job done.
On desktop: hold down the E key and click reblog. Job done.
You're welcome. Now get reblogging.

》 Something they do that is more than charming, touching even.
You were trying to get a snack from the vending machine and it got stuck. It was horrible. You were already feeling like shit, working a double shift and not eating the whole time. To be honest you didn't know if you were angry or sad but you know you wanted to scream. Then Peter came up. You collected yourself before he saw your face as he walked up. He commented on your predicament and told you it'd be alright, then proceeded to hit the machine in a specific spot and the snack fell down. He always seems to know when you're having a bad time. "There you go buddy."
To most people it's weird, hell it was weird to you the first time. At work you got sore and rickety a lot. You must have done something wrong because your shoulder was killing you and you told him. While you were explaining it he came up behind you, grabbed your shoulder at a leverage point, and shoved it. You made the most undignified moan in your life but the shame was more than worth it. It became a thing for you to go up to him and tell him where the pain was. "Tienes suerte de que me gustes."
Dating is hard, there is no if ands or buts. When you were going out on dates Hobie made sure you had someone on speed dial. It wasn't great but you were getting there, some good, some bad, and some uneventful. Then you met a man you thought was super cool, wore piercings and leather jackets, and super casual. You felt like he didn't expect anything from you and you didn't need to preform. Then he turned out to be horrible and you were left walking aimlessly your emergency contact wasn't answering so you called him before your phone died. He got there in less than twenty minutes and took you to a diner, you in a nice date outfit and him in pajamas. "He don't deserve you, love."
It started absentmindedly. You two were hanging out and Miles put his hands in your hair and started playing, scratching, braiding. Immediately you relaxed and let your head tilt to him. Studying? He'll be behind you or wait til you're taking a break. Laying down? He'll twirl it in his fingers. Headache? He'll make a million braids and pull a bit to relief the tension. It became something so automatic his fingers start to itch if you're around and you feel like something is missing. "Here. Sit on the floor."
Okay, sometimes you're just angry. With her you find something to do. Rocking out is a good one, both of you can do easily and try to keep up with one another loud and unafraid. You almost always leave those tired and ready to lay down. Going to the gym is another one. You can't fully keep up with her but she'll slow down for you without a second thought. You always leave from those ready to fight a gorilla. "Let's go wreck face."
You know how you have personal things like books and clothes. Those things have stuff in them. Your books will have little notes that say nothing but praise next to your bookmark. Your pockets will have little candies. A few times you found evil eye jewelry in your bag. It was something deeply personal to him that was an act he classified as wanting to do but not wanting to do it in the open because he didn't want you to give the things back. Those things were for you and it was a nice way to deliver it. "Wow. Those look like nice things that I do not know where they came from."

Hi, Tumblr: this is LICHES & LYE, a shop for handmade resin dice, fannish scented candles, and more!
Some of the items above include:
a line of 6 candles based on the clans of The Untamed (brown kraft labels)
9 fan fiction trope candles (with labels cheekily inspired by AO3)
the polyhedral dice sets "arcubus", "distant skies", and "well of stars", which are WIPs/testers for my upcoming dice release!
I am an independent queer and trans crafter working out of my basement (seriously), and I make and design these products myself, including unique scent blends for my candles that you will literally not find anywhere else.
I'm so thrilled to be on Tumblr, finally, and to share my work with y'all. I've got a new candle line in the works based on the classic alignment chart, in addition to gorgeous 35mm chonky d20s and standard 7-dice sets.
I'll be posting info about my next restock here on July 15th. In the meantime, I hope you'll check out what's in stock, or head over to my insta for more dice pics!!
