every succession Sunday I would see condescending posts with hundreds of notes about how if you like or stan shiv you’re missing the point of the character how she’s not more morally upstanding how she’s actually probably the most evil of all mocking her fans for being cringe and thinking she’s a girl boss whilst simultaneously seeing anyone who posted the same shit about any single man on the show get lambasted like
‘oh yeah tom and greg and kendall and roman are also all bad just like shiv’
‘this dumb cunt doesn’t think we have reading comprehension lol what a stupid idiot yes ma’am should we call you teacher lol we only ironically call shiv a stupid dumb cunt who is abusive and just like daddy and worse than everyone it’s IRONIC because duh they’re all awful people lol we just excuse everything the men do because they’re sweet poor baby girls lol soooo girl coded - except that dumb cunt shiv she wears pants and is assertive so she’s more masculine coded than rich men in equally unearned positions of power teehee - uh how dare you apply any morals to the men of the show the show, what are you the fandom police!?’
there's no greater betrayal than finally starting to read a book you've had sitting for months on your shelf or your desk or your nightstand and then finding out it's bad. like. i gave you a fucking home.
Reblog and put your rare pair in the tags/comments! I want to see the depths people will go to create, for the most random two characters in the most obscure media.
Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral
Tough grizzled guy at the biker bar: "How I got these scars? Heh... that's a long story, kid" (scene fades into a montage of mundane household accidents: touching a hot pan, running into a door, slipping in the shower, cutting a bagel wrong, etc.)
Every single response I see @neil-gaiman give on this hellsite has the exact same energy as an extremely tired king of a tiny medieval country, pinching the bridge of his nose as he once more decides which peasant the pumpkin TRULY belongs to
Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.
I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.
But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org
