"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

soap has known for a while now that ghost is an absolute menace. most people think the stoic lieutenant has little sense of humour beyond those one or two jokes he’ll throw out during a mission, but soap knows better.

ghost routinely does things to subtly throw people off, whether or not they’re aware of it. he’ll move things slightly over from where they normally stand, will steal food when someone’s not looking. he pulls pranks on the 141 and is capable of making an obnoxious higher-up make a fool of themselves without realizing it until it’s too late.

one of soap’s favourite schemes, once he figures it out, is the one where ghost will prop a chair against a wall, and sit like he’s overlooking a room, or a group of rookies. he’ll fold his arms over his chest, wear those extra-tinted sunglasses of his, and take a nap while everyone is none the wiser, all carefully skirting around what they’re saying and doing because it looks like the lieutenant is watching, listening.

soap discovered he did this after he’d been talking to ghost for some ten minutes straight without receiving so much as a grunt in response, only to nearly have a heart attack when he had gotten closer to check ghost was still breathing and ghost had chosen that moment to wake up. ghost thought it was hilarious, and it’s a little funny in retrospect, but now soap is a bit more hyper-vigilant when it comes to sussing out ghost’s schemes.

“It can’t be,” a man in green breathes. “After all these years? Here?”

Kakashi palms a kunai, watching him warily. No one here seems like much of a threat, but there are way too many unknowns to take any chances. He lightens his tone when he speaks. “Ah, it seems I’ve gotten a bit lost. Mind telling me where we are?”

The soldier who’d initially shot fire at him raises a shaking hand, pointing at Kakashi. “I saw you. You bent both earth and air.”

The crowd watches him with growing recognition. Murmurs turn to shouts, and to Kakashi’s bemusement, a war cry starts echoing.

“The Avatar has returned!”

–

In which Kakashi wakes up in the middle of a battlefield before Aang is found, gets mistaken for the Avatar, and rolls with it.

You kill your birds? I thought you loved animals...

I do love animals. I breed quail for meat and eggs, and that means that yes, I kill some of my birds, just as I kill some of my mice who are unsuitable for pet homes or unnecessary for breeding, just as I have sent overtly aggressive peafowl that would be dangerous to other birds or humans home with someone to be dinner.

Loving animals and understanding meat source animals must be killed to be eaten and that domesticated husbandry requires some amount of hard culling for the benefit of the breeding program and species as a whole are not mutually exclusive ideas. It is my job to give my animals good, proper care, enrichment, and love until their time in this world is over (for some that’s sooner than others), to ensure that death is as humane as possible, and to ensure that as little as possible goes to waste after.

And almost nothing here does go to waste; offal or unusable parts goes to the crows and other scavengers I feed at the front of the house (and in turn they chase off nosy hawks and eagles), meat gets eaten, bones get used to make stock and then composted for the garden. Mouse culls and quail feeder culls (quail hatched specifically to be feeders for other animals) almost all go to reptile owners who want ethically sourced animals kept in better conditions/fed better feed (the exception is when Bug eats some of them instead). And the two times I have ever had to cull aggressive peafowl, they both went to a hunting family that made use of the meat.

Additionally, on several occasions now, I have been called upon by others to help euthanize their fowl friends. Strangers who couldn’t afford a vet bill but wanted to put an end to their bird’s suffering. Strangers that knew it needed to be done but couldn’t do it themselves, or that didn’t know how. I have taught others how to do cervical dislocation in case the need arrives ever again, so the bird doesn’t have to wait. I have held sobbing owners who thanked me for being able to do what they couldn’t even when they knew it was necessary. And yes, I have demonstrated the butchering process to folks who want quail meat, so that I know they’re giving a quick, humane end to their birds.

Death is a part of life. When you raise purpose animals, death is going to be a part of the deal at some point.

It doesn’t mean I love them any less while they’re here, or in general.

Today's vetted fundraisers

My name is Ayaa, a 24-year-old teacher from Gaza City. I used to live a peaceful life with my family in our home, a 6-story building that we built through years of hard work. Sadly, it was completely destroyed, leaving us homeless.

My brother and I ran a language training center where we taught English to kids, teenagers, and adults. We were passionate about our work and had big dreams, but the war shattered everything. One morning, we woke up to the news that our center had been destroyed, along with our family car, which my mother had bought by selling her jewelry.

We have lost everything, and now we turn to you for help. Your kindness and support would mean the world to us as we try to rebuild our lives.
