Harry's friends... love him so much...

My brother passed away last year during a time when I couldn't see friends or all of my family due to lockdown. AO3 absolutely helped me get through the darkest days of my life.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m perfectly happy to explain my philosophy. I’ve had a quarter of a century in fandom to think about it, after all.

No one can donate to every cause, and every year there are horrible things going on in the world.

You have to pick.

If you try to do everything, you will accomplish nothing.

I don’t owe anyone my time or money and I don’t feel guilty when people try this hackneyed anti-AO3 tactic on me. It’s common in every activist space too as a form of sealioning. It’s not a gotcha: it just means you have bad values and don’t understand how to be an effective activist in real life.

For a lot of people, their AO3 donation is part of their entertainment budget, not their ‘help starving people’ type donation budget, so they aren’t even related in the first place.

For me personally, supporting arts organizations is about recognizing that spiritual and emotional needs are valid too. Literal physical survival is only one small part of human existence.

AO3 has been fantastically important for people’s mental health during the pandemic.

person: you shouldn’t ship [ship name here] because it’s problematic

me, draped over a piano surrounded by rose petals and sipping wine: oh no

this is a gift for the amazing, wonderful @o0o-chibaken-o0o who suggested ‘drarry at an art gallery’ like seven months ago. You are a brilliant person who makes this fandom a better place and I love talking to you!!! Hope this is what you were looking for!… Easily my favorite comic I’ve ever worked on. Also dean is a badass ❤️❤️❤️
