The Archive is experiencing some issues (as many of you have noticed).

It looks like the Archive is under a DDoS attack causing the servers to fall over. Our volunteer sysadmins are working on countermeasures. Please be patient with us, we'll be back!

I'm about to cry rn cause a sad song just came on and it's making me think about one of my favorite characters that I just killed off😭

Someone help what is wrong with me!?!? I'm so depressed that I can feel the physical weight of my manifested grief like a corgi just sat on my chest but I did this to myself???

I would fucking DIE if someone wrote this in my comment section, oh my GOD!

trying to think of what to write in an ao3 comment that isn't just "blew my cock and balls straight off"

bro to this day if I'm out with my mom I get her to order for me cause SoCiAl AnXiEtY.

I'm the type of person that will go through the menu to find the simplest thing for me to order so I don't take up to much of the waiters time.

I get in a full blown panic trying to leave the check out line as fast as possible so I'm not holding anyone up. I'll have my purse half open, my change sticking out of my wallet, things dangling from my hands, all so I can get out of everyone's way as fast as possible.

Im sure most people either think I'm crazy, a harried mother of five, or a kidnapping victim.

one thing about me is that i am viscerally against inconveniencing retail and food workers… the checkout guy just mistakenly asked to see my ID because he thought my sparking water was hard seltzer and my ass just showed it to him instead of saying anything. i think i would rather die then correct him in his home turf

*forgets to message back* *forgets to check notifications* *forgets to look through bookmarks* *forgets to check reminders* *forgets to check out [insert content] that i said i would* *forgets to take my phone off do not disturb* *forgets to

ace culture is making a lot of sex jokes because it's hard for you to think of sex as anything but a punchline or narrative tool

.

Absolutely amazing!!! Someone put one of these in my comment section and was kind enough to shoot me a link and I'M SO HAPPY!

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

Second kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tHMjbb6/second-kudos.png" alt="second kudos">

Third kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/52bggQH/third-kudos.png" alt="third kudos">

nth kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/6y7qGtC/nth-kudos.png" alt="nth kudos">

yet another kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wKtcj0s/yet-another-kudos.png" alt="yet another kudos">

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

The life cycle of a chronically ill aspiring author

Aka: me rn 👁💧👄💧👁

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

— Vincent Van Gogh

do you think insight can be gained about an author from the stories they write?

no. authors are like squids and can only be understood through spirited but ultimately futile combat
