people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

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.

trans women, i love you.

you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.

trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.

everything i do i do with playful and bisexual intent

sorry for finding it hot when people's hair goes grey. as if im wrong

"Good Afternoon, Miss!"

Nh discord posted a reference prompt and I had to draw one out! This also gave me like victorian Au vibes with chimney sweeper Naruto and noble lady Hinata

So my number one hope for an episode in the new series is an episode entirely focused on Linda’s day as she runs errands. She’s struggling to find an ingredient for dinner and keeps getting sent to more and more outlandish stores and sources. The only hint we get of what Phineas and Ferb are doing is Candace’s increasingly frantic phone calls. Occasionally we see an inator laser hit something at the edge of the screen or see Perry swoop by, always behind Linda’s back or just out of her view. The musical number is her changing the words to a radio song to be about errands. She arrives home, having given up on the ingredient, to a totally normal house, Candace looks crazy, and finds she had the ingredient in the fridge all along.

Was just thinking about this today. I was a lonely teen but now in my early twenties I have a bunch of good friends who check on me when I go reclusive. I can never get used to it, they love me no matter how hard I might try to push them away. They want o be there for me when I am going through things. Its always difficult for me to comprehend that they are all here because of their own choice and not bound by any duty or obligation. And that will always be difficult for me to wrap my head around......

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

OMG me too
