I would never have thought that people from China and Russia (that's me) would have to explain to people who live with freedom of speech that censorship is bad.

My head is literally exploding…

Guys, let's forget your childish ideas about the world for a second, please. Let's forget that this bitch is a "non-white woman" and focus on exactly what she says.

(A place where you can call me a racist. Did you? Okay, let's move on.)

I get goosebumps when she talks about CP and "child protection". This is how it all started in Russia. Once upon a time, two kissing girls could be shown on TV, and the Internet was a completely free fairy tale. Then the government didn't like too much freedom on the internet. They started blocking content under the guise of "child protection". It all started with a search for "child pornography". Then it turned out that children should be protected from knowledge about the existence of LGBT people.

And now they are preparing a law that will make ANY MENTION OF LGBT people illegal. Even among adults

this is your future. big disasters always start with small steps.

I sometimes hate how underrated ao3 writers are. Y’all know you made me cry more than once, right??had me curled up in a ball of despair at 3am just bawling my eyes out? Reading this shit ain’t enough anymore. I want those fuckers go on tours, I need to get an autograph or something. I don’t even know what celebrities are but if I see that dude who wrote my favourite ofmd piece I would just burst into a puddle. Comedy special? Give me ao3 special. Let em read their work and let me cry with a room of people about it. The way I see those people like actual celebrities at this point. You simply don’t create a heart warming, emotional, strong, interesting piece like that and expect me to treat you like a random person online. No mate, you’re a celebrity to me now.

BIG NEWS GUYS.

I went to my hotel last night at 11:00. We ordered two queens online weeks in advance. They give us our room card.

Andddd the room only had one bed and a freaking hot tub.

We went to the hotel desk and explained that we ordered two beds. They said they entire hotel was completely booked. We asked if they had a cot. They said the two cots they had were already in use. So we gave up and went back to the room

BAD NEWS: I was not traveling with the love of my life and instead my dad. He snores like a truck so I slept on the floor <3

No we did NOT get a refund but we did get a free bottle of water

So, I'm reading AHB! again, and I just realized there is a whole paragraph describing what Sirius, Remus, and Regulus look like. I also just read the snoging session between Sirius and Remus and decided I should write a fic with James and Marlene as guards and James gets snoged and Marlene makes fun of him.

Ahhh! The orange muffin scene is so cute!

I cannot stress how much I HATE people who do this. Fully tagged with 30+ specific tags, titled, and everything, only for:

Because like. Ao3 is not a place for placeholders like this. I can almost guarantee that this person is some 12 year old from TikTok who saw something about the "Ao3 Algorithm" that doesn't exist and wanted to get a head start, if this is even someone who's writing anything at all.

Don't bother tracking it down, I already reported it and commented (though I don't doubt they'll delete my comment calling them out, and that they will wait until their account gets flagged and the "fic" gets taken down). It's just so, SO frustrating. THIS IS NOT WHAT AO3 IS FOR.

Some of you guys don’t understand that a fanfic, a fanart - any type of fancontent that caters to fans and fans alone - are allowed to be OOC, and would be more often than not OOC,

and it shows.

Just because Im lowkey pissed that people don't understand the archive warnings on AO3 and get mad at the author because of their own lack of understanding:-

Here are what the archive warning tags mean and what each apply to:

No Archive Warnings Apply

This means the fic doesn't have any of the content that fit into the other warnings

Still tread with caution, especially if there are no other tags, as in 0. No relationship tags, no character tags, nothing, nada. It means the author might be really new or just was too lazy to use any tags or warnings. Know the risk or play it safe and don't read.

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

This means the fic might have none, some or all of the listed warnings. This is the warning. You might end up reading triggering material, or reading a fluffy sweet fic. It's a toss up, so if you aren't willing to take the risk, DO NOT READ.

If you've filtered out any of the other archive warnings and see this one, make sure you are ready to encounter something that might be triggering, that you've filtered or just avoid it. Even if the other tags don't indicate it, be wary and stay cautious, remember that this is still a warning.

Graphic Depictions of Violence

The content of the fic features graphic violence, as is stated. But if the creator chose not to tag what happens specifically that is violent, be ready for anything ranging from a bloody fist fight, to cannibalism to eroguro to violent torture.

Rape/Non Con

The fic will contain rape/noncon, which I've also seen include dubious consent/dubcon. It can be a major plot point in the story of the fic, or be smut. Read the additional tags to get a gauge of if it is one or the other. If there are no other tags, and you only want to read a story driven fic that may have rape/noncon, play it safe and don't read.

Underage

The fic has pedophillia and just like the rape/noncon warning, can be either a plot point or part of smut. Just like the above, if you do not want to read smut, play it safe and do not read if it has 0 additional tags. Honestly just filter it out all together, it's a good idea.

Some people also might use this tag when the fic involves sex between two underage characters (usually when the show is set in a high school), please keep this in mind if you aren't filtering the underage warning altogether. Also serves as a, "Always read additional tags!" note.

(Just in case someone gets on my ass and says "omg why would you say it also has smut under it ewww, are you a pedo?!" because I know someone will: I am simply saying that, the reality is, it's on the site. I don't wanna see that either, but it's there and I can't do a thing about it, just please be aware that you could be stumbling into a gross fic if you are not reading the tags properly.)

Major Character Death

A major character in the fic dies. This could be an OC, the reader, or a canon character.

If anyone feels I should revise and/or add these explanations, please tell me.

Additional words for newbies for ao3

AO3 is an archive site first, fanfiction hub second. It isn't for readers, it's for authors to archive their work and be able to label their work accordingly (or just not label it).

As a reader you should be respectful towards the authors and their work. You have no right to demand for a new chapter of a work you may like, you have no right to insult the author because of your own lack of knowledge or ignorance. Be grateful you're even getting any work from these people. Again, these people. These authors are real people like you and me, writing you fanfiction to read at no additional cost.

If you plan on posting on AO3, you should tag it, just so people can filter it, it's nice to be nice. I don't write on AO3 so I don't know what else to say on this part.
