I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

"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.

Everyone loves the scene where Sasaki runs to the window to grab Miyano and give the evil eye to whoever was about to touch his cute crush

But what about the fact that as soon as Sasaki sees that it’s Ogasawara and upon realizing it’s his bestie he immediately snaps out of it because not only is Ogasawara very much NOT a threat when it comes to Miyano’s affections, Sasaki also knows he’d never physically hurt Miyano either

They may bicker and tease and be dumb together but Sasaki actually trusts Ogasawara pretty deeply and I think that’s beautiful

#sasamiya #sasaki and miyano #sasaki to miyano #sasakitomiyano #i would die for ogasawara #ogasawara the begdrudging goodboi #sasaoga friendship is so important to me
