“why isn’t there any fic about (x)?” there can be a fic that is precisely about what you want to read. just start writing that fic for yourself.
“but I’m not a writer” every writer has had their first time writing. most writers start with writing something they want to read. your work doesn’t have to be perfect, because having 1 fic that is precisely about what you want to read, even if it’s not perfect, is still better than having 0 fics about what you want to read.
This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…
the final trial forced agatha to accept that nicky's death was never rio's fault. sometimes, boys die. agatha never would have kissed rio, showing that she chooses death, without first realizing that.
now that agatha is a ghost, which we know rio will despise, it sets them up for more deliciously antagonistic interactions BUT it also sets them up for healthier interactions than they've had in centuries. when we see them again, their interactions will likely take on a lighter, more playful tone than anything we've seen so far.
because agatha no longer blames rio, and rio was able to take agatha willingly instead of giving her 'special treatment' that would reveal its own cost sooner or later, they're now standing on more equal footing with one another and each is able to see the other more clearly. of course they still have centuries of emotional avoidance (mostly on agatha's part) to sift through, but their main problem was agatha blaming rio for something rio couldn't help, and rio trying to protect agatha from loss by bending the rules for her but really only delaying the inevitable.
agatha needed to accept that rio's role is indiscriminate, and rio needed to accept that agatha is mortal and therefore subject to the same natural laws as any other human. this new level of mutual acceptance brings down a HUGE emotional barrier to their eventual reconciliation, and is a damn good development for agatha's show to conclude with.
toxic yuri soulmates who will always find their way back to each other as their shared love forces them to slowly let go of the beliefs that drive them apart and become less toxic brain go brrrrrrrrrr🤯
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.

black lives matter and pride are intrinsically linked. the black trans community have done so much for us, we owe it to them to not forget their movement this month. without black lives, there would be no pride. black lives matter, today and always
Really incredible detail: Agatha is the one to take the Death Tarot card and lay it on top of the Queen of Cups card that represents Lilia. At the moment, Agatha was only trying to end the trial and stop the swords. She had no malicious intent in the move. But, in a way, she sealed Lilia's fate.
She's a witch killer even when she doesn't intend to be.
If I see one more motherfucker comment on a post about how “Audrey should get with Kathryn now!” I will be in your walls. Under your bed. In your closet. Real life people dealing with their own tragedies don’t wanna hear about your ridiculous out of line fanfic and neither do their friends and family. This is why friendships end between celebrities.
It's spring, you're young, you're lovely, you have a right to be happy. Come back into the world.

Heyo, as you all probably know Conversion Therapy is a crime and violates against our rights!
However not all countries have outlawed the practice, like my homecountry austria, grrr.
But if the EU bans it, it will force the EU-Memberstates to take action and also ban it nationally!
So please, if your a citizen of the EU sign this petition to make our voices heard and get this law suggestion to the EU Commission who will then get it to the parlament!
And if you aren't in the EU, reblog, spread the word to people you know who can sign this.
Every signature counts! We've got till May 2025 to get to a million!
