reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
Fanfic is a free hobby.
It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.
Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.
You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.
You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.
Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?
Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?
I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.
Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.
Please don't ruin this for us.
Some of us need it.
Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
thinking about how jinx lost literally everything she gained back that day
I will never forgive this. Ever.
The poke is not a gesture of love from Itachi and Sasuke. How do I know this? This panel explains it
Itachi literally said that his hands kept Sasuke away and while doing this he was lying all the time. He never played with Sasuke even if he promised to do it, when he died and said it was finally over, he later came back. Lies after lies. These two fingers are nice way to say no to a child. They create this barrier between people but in a way that it is not rude.
Look at Sasuke’s face, do you think it is the face of a person that knows it means I love you? This expression screams is that it? It was not enough for him and later when Itachi came back he told him about it. Then Sasuke finally understood what was the meaning behind this poke and why Itachi did it. That’s why Sasuke later poked Sakura. It was a nice way to say no to her considering her mentality is like that of a child. SS probably say but she blushed in that panel
Yes but she blushed because her crush touched her. It was the first time he gave her some sort of nice attention and made physical contact with her. But for Sasuke it was a way to say ‘I don’t want you on my journey but thank you for asking and maybe we will meet again’. And of course Sasuke lied because he never came back and she had to chase him… Itachi legacy is still strong 🤣 You want to know what is the real love gesture?
This is the real gesture of love from Itachi
And it is emphasis by the words I will love you forever. Now compare Sasuke’s face here and in the previous panel with Itachi. Here Sasuke finally understands Itachi and his love for his little brother. After this panel Sasuke never questions his brother again. Moreover, as Itachi said his two fingers kept Sasuke far away so now he touches forehead with him, there is no barrier between them, no distance, no more lies, just love.
