About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

DBZ is notorious for handwaving away injuries for plot convenience, be it by senzu bean or by sheer saiyan machismo. I enjoy that for the sake of fluidity of action, but here I wanted to ignore that and actually spend some time with Future!Gohan and the aftermath of the loss of his arm.
Plus, I love Future!Bulma’s design and I wanted to flesh out her dynamic with Gohan and Trunks.

Angst reason because I think he do this: when he lives alone in the street he past a hard time finding food or even stealing it, that’s why now he eat any food he had because he knows he can’t waste anything, even if is barely edible
DR season 2 screenshot used but no major spoilers//
what is with Lloyd being fed disgusting foods 😭
if you put it in front of him he will eat it no matter how gross it is 😭 (I'm not including the craglings mud because he actually liked it)
