"We should think of ourselves as one people."

Hon, and I say this with all the love in my heart; you read the fucking summary.

It tells you what it's about. Then you check the tags. The tags will drop key hints about what happens (ships, potential triggers or hard "no"s, special AU's that you may be looking for or wanting to avoid, etc.)

And if all of it sounds interesting you read it! That's it! And if you get in and don't like it you use the back button! That's it!

Also hits:kudos ratio is a terrible way to "guage" if the actual story is any good. Anytime someone reloads the page or misclicks or comes back to reread/read new chapters it counts as a hit. Like that's just the raw number of how many times it's been opened and nothing else. It doesn't denote "good" or "bad". At best you could take it to mean they write good descriptions so a lot of people have clicked on the story. So it doesn't actually say anything about the story itself.

If a story is new then this kind of rule kills you ever giving it a chance. Check the description. There are more than a few gems I've read over the years that have had pretty low kudos and hits - either because they were new or because they weren't what other people were wanting to read. That didn't make them bad. It just made them niche.

I'd advise knowing what you're in the mood for and searching for that instead as well; if you want a coffee shop AU and try reading anything but that it doesn't matter how decent the ratio is. Or even how good the story actually is; you're probably not going to like it by virtue of it not being what you want to read.

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

I cried so hard at Silco's burial. Being claimed by the dark waters as the daughter he guided into them in the first place, doesn't want to let him go, reaching for him. I cried at hearing his voice again.

(ignore my phones shadow) This was on my save that I started in September of 2022. It took me so long cause I played on Wii U and it is so damn tedious to use. Anyway I knew people said the final boss was easy but I didn’t realize it was really that easy. Like I suck at video games yet somehow calamity Ganon only took 2 tries and dark beast Ganon only took 1. My birthday is this month I’ll ask for tears of the kingdom so I can finally say bye bye to this god awful console. Like i love it and all and it’s nostalgic but it’s basically begging me to put it out of its misery.

Last thing I’m gonna say because I feel like it’s a little important. Because no matter I do no one is gonna gif the last scene. This is just what I think, I really….dont care if anyone doesn’t get it. As someone who is ummm older than this shows target audience annnnddd as someone with both Complex Trauma and PTSD, JJ’s ending still makes sense to me. I appreciated John B’s narration, because he shines a light on JJ’s best moments and best qualities, while also referencing his trauma. So like, there is no other side. And this is real. There is no true “happy ending” when it comes to trauma disorders, at least not in the way most people think (and I thought at one point as well). I have been told (and I knew it already) that I will need some form of therapy for the rest of my life. Trauma survivors do not get a magical happy ending. You can manage your disorder and find peace. It’s not about having a happy ending, it’s about having a moments of brightness and holding on to them while you’re in the dark. I mean that’s life in general really. And I think it was unbelievably important to show a character that goes through so much be looked at not as someone who got a bad ending and didn’t get the ride off into the sunset with their gf, but as someone who found joy and love and friendship even when experiencing all that pain. JJ’s story is a testament to the complexities of living with trauma and abuse. It’s a beautiful moment for him and the show. Him to die after saying he had everything he wanted and he got his wish. Honestly I think there a lot of important things in those last minutes that people would appreciate if yall weren’t so bent on getting fanserviced to with this show. You got used to how the entertainment industry interacts with social media and it’s made yall unable to really appreciate storytelling.
