What else would it be, a steam engine?
Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

This is the perfect metaphor, and cows are adorable. Crows too. I'm fine being either.
Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

Me: Ouch, that hurt. My husband, concerned from another room: What happened? Me: I hurt myself by writing a certain line. My husband: Writing one line can't hurt you.
The line in question (Regulus): It’s probably a good thing we’re not in touch with my brother. If James ever met him, he’d choose Sirius over me like everyone else.

I challenged myself to paint at least(!) one Sirius Black art a month this year, so here is the April painting! And as I haven’t had much time in April, I made a more detailed artwork :') Well, but it was a lot of fun! I also added a close up because I really like his face in this one :)

"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.

The Monica and Ross fight but it’s Sirius and Regulus:
Regulus: Dad, that wasn’t Uncle Alphard that stole your money, it was Sirius.
Sirius: Bella didn’t steal from the the wine cabinet, Regulus did.
Regulus: Sirius hasn’t had a job for a year!
Sirius: REGULUS AND JAMES ARE LIVING TOGETHER!
James: …
Regulus: Sirius got married to Remus and then got divorced…AGAIN
Walburga: …
Orion: …

Is my brain completely rotting or is Dead Boy Detectives really jegulus codes? I mean, I've only seen one episode so far but Charles 'I try to be extra happy for everyone' is literally James. And don't even get me started on little prickly Edward 😆

The thought hurtles him back to his senses, and he sits up on the bed in a quick motion, dislodging Sirius, who’s clinging to him. James' sudden shift takes him aback, so he follows his example and sits up as well, although more slowly, to look him in the eye. He reaches out and extends his arm as though he wants to cup James’ face, but instead, he changes his mind and claps him on the shoulder. Like a friend.
Because that’s what we are.
The loss of the tender gesture James never knew he needed stings regardless.
