Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:
1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.
2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.
3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.
4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.
We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!
For context, me and a few of my fellow crows on Phil’s Discord had this idea of “What if there were Minecraft crows that were specialized and adapted to live in different realms/biomes?”
And now we have End Crows 💜
Transcript & closeups below:
END CROWS
A guide by Philza Minecraft
PHYSICAL ADAPTATIONS:
Largest of all crow variants
Thinner with longer legs (LANKY)
Wings & feathers adapted for silent flight
Sharp serrated beak for eating chorus fruit
BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATIONS:
Social! Seem to flock in large groups
Allergic to water (like an enderman)
Enjoy taking dust baths!
Hoarders of shiny things (have a weird obsession with spoons for some reason?)
Prefer dark environments
Nest in End cities/trees
OTHER NOTES:
Purple glowing eyes
Feathers have an iridescent purple tint
Surrounded by particles
DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT!
Tattered fringe feathers
Longer legs
Velvety down feathers on legs & wings absorb sound frequencies!
trust me ranboo, you don’t want to be in on the joke
[ID: A 3 page comic of Technoblade’s birthday stream.
First page: 3 panels. The first panel is of Technoblade loading a fireworks rocket into his crossbow. He is smiling and jokingly saying “Never used one of these before.” The second panel is a scene of Technoblade, implied to be a past scene, in which he is standing with a crossbow in one hand and a skull in another. His face is obscured by a skull mask but the viewer can see a partial smile. He has blood on his clothes and hands. The last panel is of Technoblade and Philza at the birthday party, still loading rockets into their crossbows. Philza is laughing because he can tell Techno is joking. Philza is saying “Ha, yeah, right.” Techno responds “No, really, these could be dangerous.”
Second page: 3 panels. The first panel is a scene of Techno and Philza, side by side, in the midst of an act of violence. Technoblade is holding a skull challengingly and Philza is holding a crossbow loaded with a rocket. The second panel shows Niki at the birthday party looking at Ranboo, who is holding a firework rocket curiously. The last panel is a flashback to Niki in her L’manberg uniform. An explosion lights up part of her face, and it is implied that it is the scene from Tubbo’s execution.
Third page: 3 panels. The first panel is of Ranboo at the birthday party, and he is smiling genuinely. He is saying “Oh, this is your first time using fireworks? That’s nice!” The second panel is a perspective over Technoblade’s shoulder at Tubbo’s execution. You can see Tubbo trapped and covering his face from the firework about to be launched. The last panel is the fireworks being lit off in the sky at the birthday party. A speech bubble reads “yeah.”]
