Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

In the capitol at least, I'm sure that the tributes dying had never been so personal. As in, the fact that a Victor they love has a fragile condition and is going to probably die is a lot more moving than, hey these tributes who we are told deserve it are fighting for honor or death. In other words it's not that they were caring more about the fetus. It's that the news of the fetus was delivered in a way that made the people sympathetic. It made them see Katniss and the baby as human. Whereas the capitol tried it's hardest to make sure that the citizens did not see the kids as people.

I think that this also sounds quite familiar.

peeta tried to save him and katniss by saying she had a baby, because he knew that would pull at the capitals heart strings. In a dystopian society, peeta mellark knew the capital would care more about a fetus than the real dying children . this sounds oddly familiar

Yes, Percy turned down immortality for her, but so did Annabeth when she decided not to join the Huntresses.

Yes, Annabeth drove herself insane searching for Percy after he was taken by Hera, but Percy snuck out and forcibly invited himself on a quest to free Artemis just so he could find Annabeth.

Yes, Percy imagined Annabeth as the one thing keeping him tethered to mortality in the River Styx. She is his Achilles Heel, but she only found that out after she took a knife for him knowing that he was functionally immortal. He is her Achilles Heel too.

Yes, Annabeth saved Percy after his insecurities got the better of him and Circe nearly turned him into a guinea pig forever. Yes, she hugged him afterwards and said she was glad he wasn't dead. But shortly afterwards, Percy saved Annabeth from being dashed against the rocks and eaten alive because of her hubris. He held her and hugged her gently as she sobbed into his shoulder, realising that none of it was real.

Yes, Percy decided to plunge into Tartarus with her, but Annabeth used every last heaving, dying breath to keep him alive and constantly negotiate his safety. They both look out for one another.

Yes, Annabeth frequently mentions how Percy will be a great dad one day. Percy also once watched Sadie Kane jump in a puddle and wondered if this is what his and Annabeth's future kid would be like, before backtracking because it's not like he's been thinking about him and Annabeth having kids one day-

Yes, Percy is constantly monologuing about how cute Annabeth's bedhead looks and how lucky he is to have such a smart girlfriend. But Annabeth was once asked about Percy in an interview and complimented his bravery and general intellect Despite how oblivious he can be sometimes, and- no, that doesn't refer to anything in specific, it's just- he is so smart, but can never take a hint, even when a girl is giving him hints and- what? No! Why does everyone always think that I- that I'm- Augh! And forcibly ended the interview cause she physically couldn't keep her feelings hidden.

They are both down horrendous.

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

how am I only just realising that when the prophecy of the seven was talking about "the oath to keep with a final breath" it wasn't talking about leo's promise to get calypso, but it was jason's promise to piper that he'll always keep her safe. he had his final breath keeping that promise brb I'm gonna cry a river

when people say that jason grace dying of a stab wound is extremely stupid and anti climatic, and that it was made for jason to look 'weak', i couldn't disagree more tbh, bc it's so so symbolic. in blood of olympus, it was said that jason's soul was broken the moment he was stabbed with imperial gold, and it left more than just a physical scar on him, it damaged his soul. because only a few minutes prior, he had a bitter, soul crushing confrontation with his mother's spirit. jason told piper that she was the only reason he had the will to live at that particular moment, otherwise he would've crumbled down and let himself give in to death.

and then comes his life a few months later, jason lost his anchors, which was piper and leo, jason enrolled in edgarton which was located in the same area where his mother died in a car crash. he was already showing signs of spiralling, taking as many subjects/extra curricular activities as he could, getting as engrossed as he could in his minor gods project, to take his mind off of the prophecy.

all of this was more than enough to reopen jason's soul scarring, jason taking a hit with a spear, in the EXACT same spot as the previous stab, was the culmination of his soul withering for good. piper was there both the times he got impaled, this time though, when he crumbled to the floor, jason had completely given in to death, not bothering to put up a fight with his mind.

'the truth was enough to break jason grace'

his mind was damaged, broken and weary, and that was the real reason he died, not because he couldn't take on a physical stab wound.

Because the first is a dilemma. The second is just plainly unethical.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

We have one last chance to save democracy.

The No Kings Act was proposed recently. Your senators can vote in favor of this amendment to prosecute Trump and any future presidents. You just need to email your senators explaining why this bill is something that EVERYONE, including them, needs. They are not above the law. The Supreme Court betrayed us and the Constitution. Please.

Hoid, wandering around Roshar for whatever reason.

Random Person: "Oh yeah, those crazy Lighteyes. They have a person who's job it is to just sit around and insult all the nobles. It's illegal to kill him, but he sure gets assassinated a lot."

Call your reps and tell them to vote NO on HR 9495 so they aren't labeled as "terrorist organizations" by bigots in power
