Heard Someone Say Archive Of Our Own Should Install A "dislike" Button And I Thought I Should Say This:

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

Series: Part 1 of The Dadeye Chronicles

Summary:

What if Sir Nighteye didn't die after the battle with Overhaul? Given the chance to live and make up for his poor behavior towards Izuku, how does he respond to learning how many people have treated Izuku so poorly? He does what any hero would do, he comes up with a plan to make sure that justice is served, and then executes it. “My boy, you single handedly defeated perhaps the strongest villain in Japan, saved Eri, and broke the chains of fate. There’s no one else who can do what you’ve done, and I promise you that I won’t stop working until you and everyone else recognize what an incredible hero you are.” Nighteye let his curiosity get the best of him, and looked into Izuku’s eyes and activated his quirk, attempting to peer into Izuku’s future. He almost lost concentration and stopped his quirk when he realized he was seeing Izuku’s fight with Overhaul play out in his mind rather than seeing into the future. ‘That’s never happened before.’ Nighteye focused and tried to look further ahead, but instead his vision moved further into the past.

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

So much this. The bully/their victim ship is by far my least favorite dynamic.

Olay! Question, what's your least favorite Ship Dynamic or just ship for any fandom(s) you read for? Mine for MHA is anything with Endeavor, cannot stand that man

/POS

say it with me now lads: BAKUDEKU

but other than that, yeah i also hate any endeavor ship ahsjdk i dont think there's a specific ship dynamic i hate? except for the specific bully/victim ship where they portray it as healthy/the bully is using physical violence to get their attention and flirt and the victim for some reason understands that and is okay with it??? like!! ughhh the specific way some people write abusive relationships and then get mad at others for saying hey, that behavior is abusive ahsjdf

whats your Aizawa and the consequences of doom? I can somewhat guess what it's about but I don't know what your take on it is.

The Aizawa/consequences of doom AU is a fic where Izuku is expelled on his first day for ranking last in the Quirk Apprehensiok Test. A week later, he realizes that Aizawa rigged the exam to make sure he would rank last despite the fact that Izuku is fit.

Izuku, who is under a lot of stress (I might have given him the impression that, as soon as he is back from his impromptu trip to I-Island, All Might is going to take OFA back) promptly decides to burn Aizawa's life to the ground.
