archive of our own is an archive. not a social media.

archive of our own was built with the stance that there would be no censorship, because other platforms already had censorship where some things that were taboo were reported/removed. ao3 was built with the purpose that all of these works, that were not allowed on other platforms, would be allowed on ao3.

the archive will house anything that’s considered fanworks. so no, you cannot report this fic because it portrays in explicit details taboo topics about xyz, you cannot report that fic because it romanticizes and glorifies xyz. ao3 will not remove any of those fics, because whether or not you like it, those fics do not go against ao3’s terms of service.

“but these things are not allowed on other platforms” that’s precisely why ao3 was created, to house and give a platform to these things that were censored/banned/removed from other platforms.

if you have a problem with this, you can use other platforms to post and read fanfics

we don't have to cater to your personal liking or comfort because we fucking write whatever the hell we want for ourselves. we are our main audience and priorities. and we already tag our warnings, it's your job to avoid them.

still cant cope with ep 7 version without overlay under cut

They will be happy and together again and nobody can take that away from me.

If Scott was killed in the name of justice or abandoned for being a bad person, one I do think the ending would’ve been way more violent as he would’ve continued to exert his force and influence to keep himself alive, two I think it would’ve just been upsetting to see him grieving and feeling for the first time in centuries and immediately punished for it, but more importantly three, it would’ve removed the nuance his choice adds to Vampires’ ending.

Without the possibility that people who have done horrific things can decide to live on and do better, Legundo’s sacrifice is not a personal choice born out of his own decisions and grief. Instead, if Scott was murdered too, the message sent by the deaths of everyone called “unsaveable” (Owen, Doc, Pyro, Avid, Scott) would’ve been that they really were unable to be saved. That Owen was right that people cannot change their nature, and that there’s a point where you shouldn’t even try to turn back.

Of course, there is something to be said for the tragedy of someone wanting to be better, to turn around, then they die before they could. But with Avid's death the episode before, I think it would've been hard to execute that.

And so, the curtains close
