sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

i don't fuck with purity culture bs

please recognize that it's just consverativism in a thinly veiled disguise trying to convince you it's actually about protecting you

it isn't

it's about control

robert: yeah, i guess. i don't get on the internet as much, so i only met a few.

invisigal: you ever fucked your fangirl or fanboy?

robert: i'm not going to answer that.

coupe: there's actually a big amount of "mechaman x reader" fanfiction.

robert: ...what's "mechaman x reader" fanfiction?

malevola: how do you not know that? it's like, fanfics but where you, the reader, are the main character. how much "mechaman x reader" fanfiction is there?

waterboy: *starts to get nervous because he's one of the biggest "mechaman x reader" fanfiction writers*

coupe: a lot, actually. i was surprised when i found out.

robert: ...so it means people want to be shipped with me?

flambae: why would someone want that?

robert: i'm curious too.

malevola: waterboy, aren't you a mechaman fan or something? you should know.

waterboy: ...n–no.

prism: no as in "not a fan" or no as in "i don't know"?

waterboy: w–well, um... i–i think people like y–you, sir, b–because of your... a–appeal? y–you're clearly a–a very handsome o–older man, a–and... a lot o–of people s–seem to like that, a–and you also s–s–seem to keep–be v–very serious i–in your inter–interviews, w–while still keeping t–that witty d–demeanor, a–and that also c–can be considered... a–attractive? i–i guess? i–i don't k–know, i–i'm sorry, i-i'm emba–making a–a fool... out of... m–myself.

robert: ...huh. thanks.

Au where PHM happens in the Dispatch universe (still trying to work through how that'll change stuff in PHM, I know space travel will def be faster since there's aliens and stuff in Dispatch), and Robert's on board the Hail Mary.

Robert and Grace were friends somehow (college buddies mayhaps?) and when Grace mentions him and how skilled he is with mechanical stuff, Stratt decides they need a backup engineer, and steals Robert away while he's in his coma.

(He was supposed to hold a shark plush but then I forgot. Oh well.)

Appearently, Amir (Alastor's VA) wore a shark costume after Viv's request.
