Was requested to draw S2 Jonathan Sims for a charity thing <3 I also just like drawing him,,,
As someone who sometimes uses ao3 specifically for the freaky stuff sometimes, i'm a little confused that this is even a thing. Like, if you don't like it, just filter that stuff out. You can exclude anything. Problem solved.
"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."
Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.
AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.
AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:
Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.
AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

In the name of the father (wtn), the son (tma) and the holy spirit (I am in eskew)
I think this is a really good take, and maybe the reason that gerry wasn't there for long is that gertrude was involved in the program and knew what they were doing and she kinda pulled gerry out of it before anything was done to him or something like that
I wanna get these TMAGP 8 thoughts written down before the public drops so here's your spoiler warning!
So this "Gifted Kids Program" that the Magnus Institute had is very intriguing. I'm going to throw a thought out there that's kind of a gut feeling, with only OTHER gut feelings to back it up
What if they were trying to make Avatars? I can't help but feel HEAVY Stranger vibes coming from Gerry Keay in this episode. Something was so off about him, and I don't think it's just because he was a much more normal person (apparently, at least) than in TMA. And Sam certainly has tendencies that lean towards The Eye.
I've been trying really REALLY hard not to drag The Fears into this, but this was my gut feeling and I wanted to share. Maybe the new entities (if there are some) parallel The Stranger and The Eye which is why I'm getting those vibes from Gerry and Sam, respectively.
i can’t decide if it’s funnier that when Elias confronts Jon for literally stalking his employees, a very reasonable thing for elias to do, jon immediately decides that elias murdered gertrude, or that jon was RIGHT
having interests is like. I am unashamed of these. no I'm not . yes I am. i am not <3
literally the best sam line delivery in the show
