A Hedonist by heart

Ice cream served on a kale leaf! Fingon and Maedhros are total ice cream addicts!

I created this illustration as a gift for my beloved @lyragoth, with whom I share all my headcanons, my days, my joys and my sorrows. Lyra your art inspires me and enchants me more every single day.

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.

From a therapeutic standpoint, all "taboo" fanfics serve a purpose, whether that be the writer processing trauma, projecting, seeking catharsis, or just getting it out of their system. Or maybe they're just writing it to write it, or putting words to their intrusive thoughts, or another reason I can't think of right now.

And that is all okay. (They also do not owe you an explanation.)

But the beauty of AO3 is that when reading, you can filter, search for, and shape your own experience. Learn to filter unwanted things out to keep your peace, and leave the doors closed to the content you aren't willing to be amicable or understanding about.

The Swedes have these adorable cakes called Prinsesstårta aka Princess Cakes.

When I saw this I thought “Oh! I know those! We have the same thing here in Denmark!”

The same thing? These beauties.

I persent to you, the Kajkage aka Kaj Cake. They’re smaller but pretty much made of the same ingredients and they have fan clubs dedicated to finding the ugliest versions at bakeries. They’re named after the frog Kaj from an old children’s show.

"Master, tell me what you are."
