Cloning Degrassi with the Doctor in 1698 Polis

AO3 was founded partly in response to a growing trend of fanworks being removed from websites that had previously allowed them. This pattern has been observed numerous times throughout fandom history.

Whenever there are fears about censorship on other sites, AO3 sees an increase in the waitlist for our automatic invitation queue. Regardless of their reasons for joining, we welcome any new user to our site who agrees to abide by our Terms of Service. We will not vet new users for "legitimacy", because AO3 is for everyone.

The OTW has no plans to change the content we allow on AO3, and we stand by our commitment to maximum inclusiveness of fanwork content. We will not remove works unless they violate the AO3 Terms of Service, and we don't make decisions based on how many times something is reported. Users do not need to worry that anyone's works will be taken down due to a baseless report or a mass-reporting campaign, if one were to occur.

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’” Jennifer Nelson

I encourage you to check out the other resistance crop art because they are incredible and powerful and sometimes funny and absolutely beautiful.

Excellent question, yes they do find out when the joke gets out of hand once they BOTH start calling them that in PUBLIC. Which is followed each time by Ilya nervously looking around and Shane glaring at him.

Which is why they end up sitting David and Yuna down at dinner table and being like listen so we don’t think you should be calling either of us shlyukha anymore. and the Hollanders are confused what? why? are we pronouncing it wrong? is it that embarrassing?

And both Shane and Ilya are fucking red in the face but Shane finally takes a deep breath and says ok we’re only gonna talk about this once and we’re never talking about it again and we’re not going to accept follow up questions shlyukha does not mean sweetheart

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

A stutter can be accompanied by a sudden change in volume.

It can happen at any speed of speaking.

Mentally, it can feel like a quick stumble, a jolt of electricity, slamming into a brick wall, or reaching for a ladder rung that doesn't exist. Or any other number of metaphors.

The person stuttering may be surprised, or may have seen it coming.

The rate of stuttering varies greatly from person to person. There are extremes in both directions. And even one person will have good days and bad days.

A person who stutters may be shy, or they may be an extrovert. Possibly even a confident public speaker. (me)

Pausing and/or switching words on the fly may be a tactic a stutterer uses to feign fluency.

Other coping mechanisms may non-verbal, like pointing to a menu item when in a restaurant.

A stutter can be accompanied by a physical tic, like wincing or stamping a foot. The tic might be self-inflicted as a way to ease other people's discomfort with the one stammering. Some stutterers used to have a tic and have drilled it out of themselves (me).

Some stutterers appreciate having their sentence finished. Others despise it. It could also depend on who is doing the finishing.

A stutterer may constantly fight the perception they are shy, excitable, unconfident, etc.

A stutterer may use their stutter to their advantage if they want to be underestimated.

People respond to stuttering in a variety of ways - I've experienced everything from being mockingly parroted to people denying I even have a speech impediment.

Stuttering can sometimes be tied to fatigue, exictability, or context switching (happens to me a lot when shifting languages). But not always.

Some stutterers have done so since childhood. Some may have gone through speech therapy. Others acquired the impediment via some kind of brain trauma.
