no you’re so right for that, op was honestly being rude and probably didn’t expect you to see it (altho i see that they did tag it as sunny so maybe they just don’t care). when i started out, the ppl of this fandom have always been so unapologetically vocal abt their theories and interpretations, and it was so welcoming to me to see that everyone was having fun rambling into the void, knowing that we care enough abt each others’ ideas that even if we don’t always agree, we Get it. like that’s what sunnblr is for, pardon the brainrot but it comes with the territory. you were one of my first (and also only lol) sunny mutuals and i know for a fact i didn’t used to share my thoughts the way i do now before following ppl like you. PLEASE keep rambling, it is good for the soul

thank u Danny!! 🐀💘

it means a lot more to me that I have had that kind of impact where anyone feels more unapologetic n enthusiastic abt talking abt their interests n interpretations n theories! cuz I care so deeply abt that n think (esp cuz this is a space all about enthusiasm n hobbies) it is so fun to hav a place where ppl can do that!! (obv we should be mindful depending on subject matter, but just general rambling abt shit is, as u said, good for the soul 😌😌) U are also just such a creative person n i rlly admire yr style n yr skill u are just so thoughtful and intelligent so u Should be so loud n proud abt those things!! u are such a treasure n ily!!

I hold no grudge against op, cuz i do recognize this kind of thing is just apart of a larger pattern I’ve seen forever since using the internet where a lot of the internet likes to preach abt de-stigmatization n mental health awareness… but unfortunately the internet doesn’t rlly create platforms that are conducive to actually keeping that kind of thing in mind and practicing it effectively. ik that most times (since this is a problem that started in the real world n sure as hell hasnt been solved any better lmao), that unless you are just experiencing palatable symptoms like depression or anxiety… u are opening yrself up to that kind of thing, n i know that just comes with the territory of being mentally ill and havin any public account. im sure its even somewhere in the fine print of the terms n conditions that no one ever reads LOL. i try to brush it off, but it is still hurtful sometimes and so that’s why I left that reply to just explain where i’m coming from and why i left those tags in the first place. cuz again they dont know me and idk them so its not anything personal! but again ik thats sorta the game u play when u post anything yknow? like for all anonymity’s benefits, there are cons like ppl don’t Know i experience manic type symptoms or fixate excessively if they dont know me or follow me, esp when i don’t leave that stuff in my bio anymore or always post abt it so they Don’t Know. and it’s just generally very prevalent to see someone saying Wild Shit n immediately be like ‘wtf?’ n post it without rlly giving it much thought. I mean, I’ve probably done that before myself w/o rlly giving a second thought to what I was doing 😭. so I try not to take it too personally n hope ppl will be sympathetic if they do see the other person’s side of things, at least!

But again I do rlly appreciate u sending this cuz it was still very reassuring and again im rlly happy u feel more inclined to share ur thoughts after following me cuz again u are so thoughtful n passionate n i still love reading ur posts n seeing ur art abt anything u are interested in even when its not Sunny stuff, theres always so much detail in everything u do its incredible! 💖 and dont worry abt me cuz i def dont plan on stopping the rambling myself anytime soon BSJDBDJ

Completely stunned by what I just saw in 2022. How old are these people to be criticizing AO3??? That site is a goldmine of some of the best fics in existence and yet??? I really saw someone claim that using it means your selling your morals and risking safety of children for kudos "not even money" and the OP who got the ask felt so bad they deleted their account??? I mean. Good luck finding anywhere to post that people will actually bother to go to, to read.

(+) There's so much hate towards the mods and ppl who donate to ao3 too and just why??? They're doing their best? And they need the money to keep the site up?? The community is doing their best to keep a site where thousands of people can post their fics? Oh oh, ok I see. Something about hating "Proshippers" and "free speech" I don't know every bit of discourse of what exactly that means, but. Hey idc, as long as people's hate don't get the site taken down they can leave for sanity's sake. (+) Ugh, gosh darn it. Now I feel bad because OP is clearly struggling with some things (losing a friend because they didn't want to give up their interests and I can't help but wonder if this is why they say they'll stop doing something if they're told they're being a bad person for it) seeing them express relief that morally they did the right thing but creatively they feel awful "sick" because of losing their fics??? it's just aaaaa but it can't be helped 😔 I hope they're okay :( (+) wasn't gonna just send a gloomy story to your inbox, I'm just typing as I get more updated on the situation by the minute but there are some people with actual braincells talking to OP who wasn't that complete moronic anon and OP looks happier with a new solution (posting all their fics on a sideblog) and OP has realized that anon triggered their anxiety buttons and was wrong for doing so, that's good!

Current fandom makes me sick. It's a bunch of uneducated kids and adults who don't know their own history trying to demand that sane people change their habits because they can't be bothered to use AO3 properly and filter out the content they don't want to see.

AO3 was made so that fanfic authors have a safe space to post their content without the fear of being sued and they ask for money in order to maintain the website and so we're not bombarded by a bunch of adds when we just want to read our favourite characters.

The proshipper movement and the purity culture that surrounds it is a plague on current fandom and you're going to find more and more content creators leaving because of asshole anons like the one this poor author received. I also find it amusing that anon attacked them for using AO3 when other websites don't have the same level of tagging to avoid triggering content that AO3 does.

I'm just glad that some people managed to talk to the author and make them realise they aren't in the wrong.

#ao3 #fandom #thanks for the ask!!
