just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!
I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️
a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @
so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.
Reading eyewitness accounts of the first crusade is so funny because it's very clear that no one knows what they're doing.
This is Agatha, she loves her personal space.
That's Rio, she also loves Agatha's personal space
Some internet language things I really like:
Phrases like “that’s certainly a thing”, “it’s so shaped”, or “one of the most animals” (is there a name for this?)
when people write with little to no punctuation like they are just so done
More specifically, asking questions without punctuation i.e. ‘what’ or ‘why’. It’s like, you want to know but also you are resigned to the answer?
When people capitalise The Thing for emphasis - particularly if they add a trademark symbol to really drive The Point™ home
How we use both bold and italic text for emphasis, but they convey it in different ways and I can’t quite explain how
Responding to things exclusively with punctuation, because sometimes words fail you and all you can say is !!!
Here is the link! What an amazing idea ❤️
Okay I do not understand where this idea that Agatha is a liar comes from.
Is she manipulative? Yeah. Will she do anything to get what she wants? Probably, idk. Agatha seems like she’s more intent on running away from everything.
Does she lie? Yeah. But she’s also canonically terrible at it.
For this entire series, she spoils every lie in less than a minute by giving away that she’s lying or by just straight up telling the truth right after.
Are y’all referencing WandaVision? That show where she was too honest with the protagonist and it was her downfall? The one where she was corrupted by the Darkhold, a book famous for corrupting everyone who uses it since forever?
Every instance we have of her lying often turns out to be Agatha telling the truth and no one believing her.
The coven attempting to kill her in 1693? Turns out she actually can’t control her power. Trying to steal power from the other witches? She already told Lilia that they have to attack her first. Not drinking the poison wine? She left the glass in plain sight.
Agatha Harkness is a terrible liar and people need to start acknowledging that.
