FACTS!

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

Dreams of birds and tea, and magic😌✨

I really need to vent because this shit is pissing me OFF. Okay, so I'm sure proshippers have heard about the proship server on discord or whatever. Basically, an anti joined, downloaded the selfies of these proshippers and posted it on tiktok for several thousands to see (it almost has 100K likes on tiktok). Now, disclaimer, I do not think taking selfies and posting them on discord with a bunch of strangers is a good idea. Especially considering a lot of these proshippers are minors. Like the owner of the discord server is 14, I believe. I don't think that's a good idea at all. SO an anti took those selfies and posted them for the world to see. 100% without permission and consent of these proshippers. And anytime someone on tiktok comments things like "Uhh, why are you posting kids' selfies", the comments are filled with this type of shit. Dumbfuck #1 is the one that posted the tiktok

[Image ID: "Why are we posting pictures of minors without their permission..." Dumbfuck #1: "Being a minor doesn't excuse being a bigot and a predator." End ID] Keep in mind, we're talking about...you guessed it, fictional characters. This is basically how Dumbfuck #1 sounds to me: "I have to protect the fictional minors from the very real minors by calling out and endangering said real minors". That's basically what Dumbfuck #1 is saying.

And here's Dumbfuck #2:

[Image ID: Person with a functioning brain: "Why are you posting images of minors without their consent tho?..." Dumbfuck #2: "I can tell you like kids." End ID]

I DON'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH THIS FUCKING SHIT. FIRST OF ALL, someone caring about the wellbeing of MINORS does not make them a pedophile, despite what you fucking idiots like to believe. And secondly, you are literally endangering MINORS by posting their selfies for the world to see, but you don't fucking give a shit, because you're more worried about them shipping fictional fucking characters together.

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it’s just… Social media. That’s it. Social media and news sites. And I’m tired of social media and I’m tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

Poob has it for you

constant drive to talk about my ocs but also the eternal issue of not being able to articulate my thoughts properly so just imagine that i am grabbing you like this. there are things in my mind but they are not escaping
