“ao3 should have an algorithm” ao3 should continue only giving me exactly what I ask for which happens because I know how to use the search, sort, and filter functions

By under rated in fandom I mean so often past loves are either erased completely or downplayed like "oh yeah they weren't really in love.". I think it flattens the character. Humans are capable of so much love. Each relationship is different and you can learn from each one! And yes, there's something brave in learning to love again, something incredible romantic, why pass it by?

me every single time i’m on the edge of going fully insane about a new fandom: haha what if i just checked ao3. just for fun. just to see what there is. i won’t save anything or get in too deep i’ll just do some recon. i’ll just go see. for fun

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

i’m just. very frustrated as an adult on a 17+ app being treated like i’m a little baby who can’t handle adult content or curate my own experience. it’s fucking stupid

not to sound insane. but. my college roommate just randomly self-published a book that’s very obviously thinly-veiled self-insert fanfiction. which is fine. whatever. i am reading it to be supportive only to find out i am in it. it’s set in college and the roommate is literally me, her college roommate. i thought i was projecting but the character is literally named my childhood nickname. so. what am i supposed to do now.

it seems to be a vampire diaries stalker au??? if that matters

was literally at this girl’s bachelorette party three months ago and she neglected to mention anything about this

am i being divinely punished bc i said rpf is fine

upon further reading i think this is a dylan o’brian x reader college au with a mystery stalker element??? which tracks but GOOD NEWS it’s confirmed i am not the stalker BAD NEWS the stalker is absolutely going to kill me

halfway through the book. my main character attributes are that i’m loud (true) outgoing (in comparison to her sure) slutty (false lol) boycrazy (she knew me when i thought i was straight) and headstrong (true) but overall it’s an overwhelming positive depiction of me??? when i realized this was more or less rpf i thought she would portray me as being more difficult or annoying or bossy but so far it’s very kind

ok i lived but her self-insert was BRUTALLY MURDERED?!?! i genuinely cannot decide if the ending was profoundly homophobic or the start of her gay awakening??? what the fuck was that

i need you all to know my college roommate quit her job to write this book. she quit her full time scientist job to write rpf about us in college in which she gets brutally murdered by a goth lesbian that’s obsessed with her.

ALSO her husband. that she met in college. not in the book. AT ALL.

by the way this is all happening because she got really into dark romance books from tiktok a year ago

i do think this is partially My Fault because if we were closer postgrad i would have been like let me introduce you to a little website called archive of our own. but again how was i to know she was cooking up rpf about shit from five years ago.

she’s asking me to leave a review on amazon. i am supposed to leave a book review. about rpf fanfiction. of me. on amazon.com.

[talking about my favorite characters] okay so THESE two come in a bonded pair and if i think about them too hard i start taking poison damage

you ever read fanfiction so good you start experiencing penis envy. sorry is this a safe space
