Thinking About That Post Of People Assuming Ao3 Has An Algorithm And Also About How Bonkers Persistent

thinking about that post of people assuming ao3 has an algorithm and also about how bonkers persistent the view is that ao3 is social media lite. like with startling regularity I get comments saying something along the lines of "it's probably weird to comment on a fic this old--" no it isn't!!!! this is an archive I am literally just assuming you searched for a selection of specific tags or sorted by kudos or looked back on my pseud or any other number of completely normal ways to use an archive site ?? kill the tiktok ghost in your brain and comment on old stuff it's NOT weird

One thing ao3 has done to me is make me really critical of library archives. Like I try to do research in my university library archives and I end up sitting there like “your tagging system sucks.”

As a girl who likes other girls and person who has boobs I have a bone to pick with some comic book artists. You need to start understanding boob physics better. I get putting female characters in clothes that show off a characters boobs. It’s fun and lets you show off all the results anatomy work you have done. But I hate putting big chested women in these nonsense bra situations. But in order for you to get what I mean you must understand why boobs are so great.

They are soft, squishy and nice to nap on or hold. But because they are soft and squishy they move around a lot and need support (in bigger chests) so they don’t get in the way or cause pain.

So when you draw these characters doing things like fighting and flying in battle with nothing holding her boobs in place. I’m going to have a few questions about why her boobs aren’t moving. Now you might say she an alien/bulletproof/non human. but now I know that a bullet cannot make her boobs move like I sure in hell have no chance of being able to squish them or lay my head down on them. Because those things are not boobs they are pointy rocks. They are hard and seemingly have none of the other qualities that make boobs enjoyable. So instead of drawing a character in a good (possibly sexy) bra situation you have now created a character with rock tits and taken all the joy out of their boobs. 😔

Also another thing is that some artists can only seem to draw one maybe two types of boobs and it’s usually skinny with boobs or fat women with boobs. Which makes me mad because there are way different types of bodies and boobs. Also it can be confusing for example I was reading a comic where one female character goes “I know I am not busty like her..” and I had to step back from it because I genuinely think that their boobs were (or maybe just looked) the exact same size.

I know this is a weird thing to get hung up on but I think it be great to see more diversity in character boobs. Like you can have two different characters who are the exact same height, weight and bra size and their boobs are still different. I think all boob types are beautiful and deserve to be represented not just the type that the artist has chosen.

Sorry if this didn’t make sense or sounded weird I just wanted to get it out. To see if maybe other people have noticed it.

How do you know when to cut someone off? They are not the person that hurt you anymore but you still can barely look at them. They traumatized you and now you’re suffering because of it. They have changed though-(and they want you to love them so desperately).

Do you tell them how you’re feeling? Knowing that what you said is going to kill them and knowing that they are not the same person that hurt you.

What do you do when you’re traumatized by someone who can’t know or be avoided? How do you deal with that fear you feel when they are in the room? How do you be polite to them when you’re trying not to cry and every single part of you feels like it’s screaming at you to run away?

What do I need to do to make this feeling stop?

favorite thing when i start reading a book and immediately clock the author as a fanfic writer

I hate being in a weird lesbian slow burn relationship! 😡why god would you put me next to the most beautiful person in the world and not
