Fanfic Is A Free Hobby.

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.

Gideon: that sucks dude. anyways I'm going to sacrifice myself to save your life. you'll be an even more powerful necromancer. pretty sick, huh?

Gideon: why are you so upset about this

Gideon: is it because you don't like me

The way some of you will jump at the chance to try and hate on Sam is...... Troubling

Trans people aren’t the scary “Other” that so many people think they are. They are people wanting to live their lives in peace, just like everyone else. Have some respect people!

That’s ok I definitely wanted to cry today nbd

Today I thought about what would happen to Leon after all his friends died.

He knows Merlin is still around because by then he heard the prophecy many times and he also knows the warlock never strays far from Lake Avalon. So Leon sets out to find him and he's lucky. One day he saw a column of smoke near the lake and decided to investigate. In a small shabby hut he found Merlin but the warlock had never been the same after Arthur's death.

Merlin as he heard the knock: "No. Go away."

Leon: "Merlin? It's Leon can I come in?"

Merlin halfway between annoyed and surprised: "Shouldn't you be dead by now?"

At this point Leon just enters and is shocked when he sees the warlock. His black waves were longer now, leaves and twigs stuck out from the matted mop of hair. He was wearing rags of what could be one of Arthur's shirts and a pair of simple breeches. He wore no boots and only one sock.

Leon: "I think I'm immortal."

Merlin with a scratchy voice as he hasn't spoken in a long time: "Seems like it. What do you want?"

The knight didn't know how to react to Merlin’s cold demeanor but he soldiered on: "I- I thought you might want some company? I can help with things. Surely you don't want to spent eternity alone."

Merlin: "I won't. Arthur will come back" He turned away abruptly and looked out the window towards the lake "He will come back to me."

Leon: "Sure but don't you want some company until then?"

Merlin: "No. I'm fine on my own. Now please leave."

Leon: "But-"

Merlin with glowing eyes: "I said leave."

So Leon stumbles out. But he's not ready to give up. Clearly the warlock needed a friend. Therefore he waited until Merlin left his hut, got back in and cleaned the place. He then continued to cook some food for both of them which is how Merlin found him. He didn't even look angry. Just exhausted.

Merlin: "Didn't I tell you to leave three times now?"

Leon: "I made food, you should eat while it's warm."

And because Leon kept insisting and Merlin gave up, the two stayed together. The knight actually followed Merlin like a puppy trying to figure out how to come to terms with immortality while the warlock's world still centered around the dead king.

They would have conversations like:

Leon: "What if the world ends? Will we survive?"

Merlin: "Probably. And the lake. Bound it to me with magic."

But eventually Merlin recovered a bit. He cut his hair and let Leon buy him new clothes. But throughout the centuries they always stuck close to the lake waiting for Arthur

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
