"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.

[image description: a set of gifs from the movie Where the Wind Blows (2022). 1. Nam Kong sits on a bench in a park while his dad walks into the frame. 2.

"I'm drinking because I'm happy." 4. "I'm getting married to make you happy." 5. His dad turns to him and asks: "How are you?" 6. He shrugs. "Same old, same old." 7. They are shown from behind. Nam Kong puts his head on his dad's shoulder. "Pa, I miss you." 8. His dad asks. "What do you plan to do next?" 9. Nam Kong says while still sitting with his head on his dad's shoulder. "You know how it is in our family. We'd never replace a dead dog." 10. His dad says: "Stop doubting yourself so much." 11. Nam Kong is sitting alone on the bench, asleep, with his head resting on the back. The bride walks into the shot, looking for him.

金手指 (2023)

[narasgifs]

I watched Where the Wind Blows (2022) and even though the plot was quite slow burn, it was so beautifully shot that now I want to make so many gifs from it.

Though to be completely honest, this film falls into that recent meme category: an average film you wouldn't know about if your mutual wasn't infatuated with an actor in it lol

Lust, Caution (2007) dir. Ang Lee - Tang Wei + Tony Leung

"I'm sure you don't remember me." "Of course I do."

[image description:8 gifs from the movie Lust, Caution (2007) featuring Tang Wei as Wong, and Tony Leung as Mr. Yee. On the first few gifs he enters the house, takes off his coat and hat, then stares into a mirror with a serious expression. Then he walks up the stairs. He walks down a hallway and then turns slowly. On the last gifs he slowly walks into a room where the women sit and smiles when he sees her.
