I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

SORRY um like. what's a thing that you've seen in any of the jess interviews that you think is going to be important going forward in the series + any thoughts you might have on it?

Thank you for rewording lol IDK why I had no clue what you were asking

For full transparency, while I’ve organized most (I believe all) interviews and Q&As and etc. with Jessica Townsend, I haven’t actually checked them all out. Any podcasts without transcripts and any videos without captions require more effort and energy on my part lol. If they’re on the longer side like 30+ minutes they’re not really something I want to listen to over and over to find the info I’m interested in which is one of the reasons I’ve been wanting to transcribe them… but then that takes even longer… so there’s several I just haven’t gotten around to yet. I hope I can make significant progress before Silverborn interviews start.

From the top of my head, I have always been haunted by the bit from this 2020 interview for years where Jess talks about mothers. The entire section is too long to share so here’s a good section (among many other good sections):

I know that people love the dynamic between Morrigan and Jupiter of being this uncle-niece, big brother-little sister, father-daughter thing. I think we have people feeling comfortable in that that you think, ‘Oh, is that what it's about? It's about father-daughter relationships’. This series for me, without wanting to give too much away, I think that when people get to the end of Hollowpox, they realise that actually mothers are quite important and will be much more important.

And I think that’s true! Aside from the ending “Mog, I think this belonged to your mother”, there’s a bunch of small things in Hollowpox where you see Mog, aware of it or not, starting to think more about not having her mom or knowing anything about her. Hanging out with the Swifts, seeing Ivy with her half brothers, thinking that Maud reminds her of a mom… lots to think about!

While you could make arguments for like, Miss Cheery and Rook, I feel like Mog doesn’t have an older female figure in her life to guide her and I think perhaps that could be explored through the exploration of her mom and that gap in her life. We sort of almost have Jupiter and Squall pulling her in two different ways, I would love to see if there’s anything or anyone that pulls her in a different way and informs her own journey.

I’m excited to see this stuff start to become more important in Silverborn, but also beyond!!

ok has anyone wondered how false and ren got the invite to join mcc. like ik jevin was in mcc1 but the hermit arc truly began in mcc4. and you know how false and ren's whole thing was that they would join together and put down each other's names until mcc17. did scott send invites to both of them. did he send to invites to a bunch of hermits and they had like a discussion on whether to join this mine craft event. were those two in dms like "i'll join if you join" "i'll join if YOU join". did scott send them an email like "hey hermits i've got two slots free choose whoever you like" and false and ren volunteered for tribute. funniest scenario is if scott only sent one of them an email and they were like "i'm only joining with my friend 🥺" and boom [this is not how the waitlist works].

one month later iskallman barges in, roasts all his teammates, gets 17th indiv, then promptly leaves (i miss iskall) (come back iskall) (iskall) (man)

We actually definitely had more fun in 2020, even with bodies dropping left and right and the scares and cries 😭 I've been personally affected by COVID in every way possible and I prefer 2020 to whatever the fuck last year was!

I was just thinking this!! 😭😭 The year where you could hear ambulances transporting dead bodies 24/7 and there was a literal plague on our houses was somehow less difficult and less emotionally and mentally taxing than 2023.

What was in the air last year??

going on the "Transgender people in sports" wikipedia page is always fascinating because there are multiple links to scientific sources saying that males retain biological advantages over females regardless of hormone intake, and there'll be a counter-argument that's like "this organisation that is not scientific says it's not fair to trans women :/."

Gee I wonder who I should listen to

And just because I have five mins while waiting; expanding on the poll by with the will, my actual fave partner Digimon from the shows because I'm really not that much of a fan of our Dino leads. (Mostly)

01 - Tentomon

02 - Armadillomon (I'll be honest, I think this is solely for it's dub voice)

Tamers - Terriermon (Momentai lives rent free 😆)

Frontier - Does it count? It's Frontier related but not exactly in Frontiers... Could I default Strabimon? It's design is so snazzy!

Savers - Kudamon 💛 (Gaomon is a close second)

Xros wars - N/A

Applimon - Musimon

Tri - Gommamon (Tentomon also has some amazing scenes again)

2020 - o.O they had personalities? Seriously they're all so forgettable. It's technically more an Angemon storyline so by default Patamon.

Ghost Game - (Jellymon, I love you, you were amazing but did get a bit testing later) so by a narrow margin, I'm still going to give it to Gammamon!
