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
When you have a moment, please read this X/Twitter thread from Sam, aka, TheScruffyCat. It has very important information about mentioning Zines in the descriptions of fics. Their AO3 account has been suspended because of a rule AO3 has on monetary use of fanfiction, which at this moment doesn’t directly mention Zines, but they appear to be included. So even mentioning a Zine (even one that is for charity and/or free) can put your account in hot water.
This might even apply to comments (which has some BAD implications), but they haven’t heard back on that yet.
They have said that is may be specifically because of mentioning the sale of a Zine, but just to be safe they have concluded:
Text on photo:
- don't mention zines anywhere on your ao3
- not even charity zines
- not even a passing "i'm working on a zine fic" in the description of an unrelated fic
- not even in comments
- delete any comments from others mentioning zines (even nice comments :'( )
Please reblog or send this to your author friends if they write on AO3. Thank you!
Reminds me of Season 5 TMA
never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱
Since that’s just my Tuesday, I feel the exact same.
this book is so clearly designed for people who have not experienced a decade plus of high dosage uninterrupted tumblr poisoning because to me this whole section reads somewhat like “enjoyers of food and beverages may be surprised to hear about ‘bread’ and ‘water’”
Welcome to Echoes of the Multiverse.
Here, you will embark on a journey of discovery through the intricate landscapes of the human brain and its functions. Our mission is to unravel the mysteries of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and elements of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), while also exploring a little of the depths of astrophysics and quantum mechanics as a way to show you all how we like to understand our conditions.
What we aim to achieve:
Our goal is to inform others about these conditions, including their diagnosis, and treatment. And share tips for others living with these conditions and help empower our community. We will also share personal stories about our experiences with these conditions.
What kinds of posts will you make?
All posts will be labelled clearly with trigger warnings at the top and bottom of all posts and indicate their type (educational, personal etc..) It is important to note that our information on treatment and diagnosis will be based on the NHS system, as it is the most accurate and reliable source that we can research from. We will be using the ICD 11 because the ICD is the only assessment manual that officially applies in the NHS in England and is written by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Educational posts:
These articles will cover topics such as symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, therapy settings, and the latest research developments. These posts will be separate and we will provide links to the following pages on the same topic.
All our information for these posts will come from research papers and official medical websites. These sources will be linked on the blog itself and or mentioned where others can find it.
We do not want endogenic systems or supporters to interact with our page because this is a scientific blog and we do not believe in endogenic DID.
Personal Stories and Experiences:
Our personal stories will serve as a reminder that those with these conditions are not alone and provide insight into the daily struggles and overlooked aspects of living with them. We may also incorporate physics concepts into our posts, as it has been a helpful tool for us in accepting our conditions. We encourage our readers to find their own interests and use them as a means of coping and understanding.
When it comes to POTS, we will only be sharing personal experience from confirmed elements of the condition as we are still in the process of being diagnosed so we will not share experiences as being of POTS specifically but of orthostatic intolerances and tachycardia.
Answering questions:
These posts can be either personal stories or educational posts. These posts will aim to answer questions we have received on our blog, asked in real life or have seen asked on the internet, and we would like to give our response to them. We hope this will help in raising awareness but also advocate for greater understanding, support or inspire others to research and maybe even contribute to the field themselves too.
Tips and Strategies:
These posts can be either personal or educational. We will aim to provide useful advice that could potentially help others struggling with these conditions cope with life better. We will also advise those seeking how to help someone close to them with this. However, it is important to note that our advice is general and it is always best to directly ask the person what would help them. Using our advice might be a good starting place in suggestions for those conversations.
Spotlights for others:
We want this space to also be open for others to share their personal experiences. These can be written to us in asks.
We ask that these submissions include trigger warnings and specify which category they would fit into, and we will do our best to keep everything organised and easily accessible on our page. If it does not fit into a specific category that is okay we will do our best to organise it. This means anonymous pages are open.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Your presence here brings a new voice and unique experience to our page, and we welcome you to be a part of our community as we strive towards understanding, acceptance and growth in our healing on the way to thriving.
We hope you enjoy your journey around the multiverse here. Whether you are here to just listen out to the echoes and learn more or are here to explore echoes of your own you are a cherished explorer here.
The whumpee had looked up to the whumper for a very long time, and they wanted nothing more but to train under their hero- but they regret that as soon as they get the position. The whumper is ruthless and doesn’t care about scarring the whumpee, they only care about results, no matter how much pain the whumpee is in.
just put laundry in the washer. there better not be any wet laundry after this

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
