Rick Riordan mentioned in the Kane Chronicles that the Ancient Egyptians buried themselves with all their possessions, right? Something about the things following you to the afterlife? You know… I like that. I may want that to be more commonplace. Bury me with all my things. If there really is an afterlife (and if said afterlife doesn't have a library with access to knowledge and stories from across all of human history, which it should), then bury me with the damn books and dvds and tablets and god knows what else.

I think the ancient egyptians had some of the better afterlife ideas. Rick Riordan portrays the greek/roman afterlife so unflatteringly that I think it's dead to me now (you get three options: eternal punishment, death of self identity in asphodel, or the stupid gated communities that are elysium and the isles of the blessed). And the norse one could be improved (i don't want a warrior's death, and would rather take my chances with Helheim). But Anubis and Osiris seem to have a decent thing going, and I think it's the afterlife I can most tolerate.

Still, I sort of have my own private visions of what an afterlife should be. But I suppose that's a topic for another note (even though i may have already made notes about it before). But to sum my basic thoughts up: I like the egyptian afterlife, and i have a visceral hatred for the greek/roman one.

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.

I needed to draw this headcannon about my favorite joke from the entire franchise.

Also, I want to see little Shadow and Maria just being little gremlin children.

the funny thing about the Justice League is that a junior member can absolutely 100% walk into a Founders meeting and completely derail it by holding up their bleeding hand and saying “I think I need help?” and it’s over. Six different parental instincts get activated in one glorious, overlapping moment.

What was this meeting about? Who cares, it’s time to get the baby hero into the medbay. This requires all of them, of course. And then it turns out it wasn’t a bleeding hand but blood from a (hidden) chest wound and now that newbie is going to wake up to six different parental lectures being delivered bedside in the most embarrassing moment of their entire life.

Rank 3. To live as you do, even if for a mere moment. How wonderful would that be?

Jason to Bruce privately in the Cave: “That was the stupidest decision I’ve ever seen you make. Do you really think they’re going to want to be your friends once they find out the truth? If you could unclench for ONE minute this all could’ve been avoided—”

Jason at the Justice League meeting on the Watchtower ten minutes later: “If anyone even LOOKS at Batman I’ll rip their throat out. None of you fuckers understand how many favors he’s doing your sorry asses. If you’re too stupid to listen to Batman, that’s your prerogative. He’s the only thing keeping this damn satellite in ORBIT—”

Interesting detail: both Bonzo cases have been Category 1, Rank B. The only other CAT1RB case has been Needles.
