I am in the mines (ao3) working 24/7 (looking for fixs), rotting away and putting in the hard work of digging for quality coal (good gax stuff), scraping my hands with hard rocks (AI gen content), breathing in fumes (shit characterization & poor writing), all so that my princess at home (also me) doesn't have to suffer (expose herself to the obscene toxicity of georgetoto)
Like, I really respect what you guys have going on with this ship. My hot take in general is that the best rpf material won't be found in the driver4driver ships, and I'm pretty sure all the agegap enjoyers are always the best fed ones.
Georgetoto this season is so rancid I simply cannot stomach going anywhere near it, I'm sorry. I look at your blog the way Squidward looks at SpongeBob and Patrick enjoying themselves in that one meme.
To use another metaphor: to me these two ships are like gourmet cheeses. Gax is a good start for if you want to try something harsher or more tart for the first time, and a lot of general public can easily pivot to it. Meanwhile, georgetoto is one of those disgusting, smelly, super old and moldy things that the gourmets will sing praises to non-stop, and I will be nodding in agreement at their analyses because I do understand what the appeal is, but I will never come anywhere close to it because of how stomach turning the stench is.
Also, a good gax fic can get reaaaaally good, I just wish they were easier to find
you should genuinely give my fic a try even if there's a lot of georgetoto to stomach through i promise the gax is worth it. and also i'm obsessed with this entire description now i have nothing but respect for the real gax enjoyers who have to survive through the landmine that is their ao3 tag now. it was kind of tolerable during 2024 and the first part of 2025 but ever since it blew up and heated rivarly infested every tangentially related fandom with its views i avoid the gax tag like a cesspool. the only way i'll click on a gax fic is if it was recommended by a trusted oomf but i genuinely can count on one hand the amount of gax fics i've loved.
