An Unknown Feeling
Original headcanon
Ao3 version
Tears flowed down the eyes of the small girl who was weeping into her arm as she stood all alone under the oak tree in the forest.
While playing toss, her doll had gotten trapped between the branches of the tree when she accidentally tossed her a little too high.
The girl cried and cried for help, hoping for someone to hear her unanswered pleads, but no one came to her aid, making matters worse.
That is, until Philip approached her, wearing his brown mask.
He noticed that she looked to be the same age as him.
While playing alone in the forest, his ears picked up on the sound of crying, and he made the decision to follow it.
The brunette slowly tilts his head at the girl, wondering what was wrong.
Just then, at that moment, the doll in the tree slowly slips out of its entrapment and falls into the hands of Philip, who catches it coincidentally.
After a few sniffles, the girl lowers her arm and sees Philip holding her doll.
Such a sight causes her to let out a surprised gasp, her demeanor immediately lighting up with delight.
'This boy!' she squealed to herself. 'He saved my dolly! He's a hero!'
"Thank you!" the girl exclaimed to Philip with glee as she takes her doll.
Without delay, the girl leans forward and places a gentle kiss on the side of her hero's mask before skipping off in the direction of town with a giggle.
Meanwhile, Philip remained frozen as he watched the girl leave, wondering what the mysterious feeling that had just entered his stomach was.
The feeling was new and certainly strange.
He felt as though he had just consumed an entire jar filled with one billion butterflies.
...
"Philip, what's wrong?" Caleb had asked as he took a seat beside his brother on the porch stoop of their home.
Caleb noticed the absence of eye contact Philip has been giving him throughout the day.
"Is everything alright?" While staring down, Philip replied with a small nod of his head.
Caleb knew that wasn't the case.
"Is it about me?" the blonde gently inquired.
Philip slowly shook his head.
"Another boy?"
Philip answers with another small head shake.
"Hmm...," Brown eyes begin to take notice of Philip's stiffened posture and somewhat sweaty palms.
A playful smile soon took over Caleb's face as he spoke once more. "Is it about... a girl?" he hummed in a teasing tone.
A small squeak escaped Philip as he tried to hide his burning face, despite his mask already doing so.
"N-No! Girls are icky!" he told his brother, coughing out his embarrassment.
Caleb couldn't help but chuckle as he began to pat Philip's back.
Looks like he had a lot to teach his brother about the opposite gender.

If you're logged into your AO3 account, you can mute any other account on the Archive. Muting means that you will no longer see:
works they've created (or co-created) in search results and tag listings (you can still access the works themselves, if you have a direct link)
bookmarks they've created
other users' bookmarks of their works or series
comments they've left
You can mute a user by clicking/tapping on their username (anywhere on the site) to get to their profile page. On that page, you can select the Mute button and then confirm that you really mean to do it.
To unmute them later, you can go to your Preferences page and select the button for Muted Users. Find their name in the list, and select the Unmute button. Then you'll see them on the Archive again.

A03 is Back, and Please Do Not Blindly Spread The Claim That A Group Called "Anonymous Sudan" Is Behind This
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A03 is back online, and that's great! However, there are posts going around right now blindly saying that a group called "Anonymous Sudan" is behind the attack and repeating the group's stated goals. As A03 has already said, there is good reason to doubt that this group is being honest about it's political motivations and affiliations. We don't know the whole story yet, but it's quite possible that the group is attempting to intentionally stoke islamophobia.
Please do not blindingly spread posts repeating the group's motivation, and be extremely wary of islamophobic statements that might be coming across your dash. More information will come out in time as security experts are able to do their job and trace down the group in question.

The Bloodied Dagger
Original story
Ao3 version
A small crowd was gathered in the center of town and was in awe as they witnessed THE Matthew Hopkins tying up an odious "witch".
The wicked wench pleaded for the great general to let her go, proclaiming her false innocence to him.
However, the woman was rightfully disregarded.
Witches were quite notorious for spinning lies and telling tall tales, and Hopkins was well-informed of that fact.
He was a man of God, after all.
"Look at those arms," a young woman in the crowd comments about the witchfinder to her friend, who nods in agreement.
Both women simultaneously exhale a sigh of infatuation as they begin to view Hopkins through a "crush filter", their pupils now taking on the shape of red hearts.
"He has the eyes of righteousness," a burly man would state out of admiration.
"Oh, that Matthew Hopkins is steamier than a stew in July~," another woman who was crushing on the general said with a giggle, fanning herself with her hand.
"I could kiss him!" a thrilled man shouts, to which the other townspeople fully support his excited statement.
To them and the other residents living in Gravesfield, a formal and friendly kiss between two gentleman was not a problem.
Standing among the chatty crowd was Philip, the teen's smile growing immensely as he watched his idol bring the "witch" to justice.
He aspired to be a great witch hunter just like him.
Once she was fully tied around her midsection, Hopkins wastes no time shoving the woman to the ground.
He then places a triumphant foot on her.
The crowd celebrates this heroic action with a loud cheer as Philip quickly rushes over to Hopkins.
"Mr. Hopkins, that was AMAZING!" he said, his blue eyes sparkling with inspiration.
A cocky chuckle is released by Hopkins at the compliment.
'Ah, the youth and their praise,' he thought to himself.
His ego loved it.
"Well, what can I say?" he began. "I do what must be done."
He grabs the end of his rope.
"Now, I must be off. This she-devil needs to be condemned for her heinous crimes."
As he starts heading towards the outskirts of town, a crooked dagger slips out of Hopkins's holder.
Upon seeing this, Philip immediately goes to pick the weapon up.
"Mr. Hopkins, you dropped this!"
"Hm?"
After halting, Hopkins turns around and spots his dagger in the boy's hand.
"Keep it," he said with false humility, causing Philip to gasp as he continued.
"A generous gift from me to you." He had plenty other daggers that looked exactly the same at home.
"Protect yourself against any wild witches you might come in contact with," he told Philip.
Philip gave a second gasp.
He couldn't believe it.
Matthew Hopkins, the greatest witch hunter of all time, was giving him his knife... as a gift?!
Philip could faint.
He wasn't going to, but he could have.
Philip nods. "I will! Oh, Mr. Hopkins, I am truly honored to have this!"
Hopkins chuckled.
This kid was something else.
"You should be!" he shouts back with a smug expression.
And with that, the general continues his way through town.
As he gazes at his new dagger, Philip squeals with pure delight.
He planned to keep it forever and couldn't wait to show it off to Caleb, but first, he had to clean off the blood that stained the metal.
He was certain it belonged to a witch.

I certainly didn’t see this being on my 2023 bingo card.
Edit: Ya’ll this meme above isn’t accurate anymore since other messages from the group came out. I made this meme when the first initial message came out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The meme down below is more correct as to what’s probably happening with Ao3. Also wanted to say that despite the name of group, the people behind it are probably Russians.
Edit: July 11th, So Ao3 is back! Though the donation link is being attacked now. There’s also a second account on Twitter trying to impersonate Ao3.

While you can report incorrect tags on AO3, the Policy & Abuse team will only investigate reports about the required tags:
Archive Warnings
Fandoms
Rating
Language
If an author has tagged one of those incorrectly, PAC will reach out and explain the issue and give them time to make the change. If they don't change it by the deadline, PAC will remove tags that don't apply to the fic. The only tag they will ever add is "Author Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings" - and that only happens when the work has no other warnings left.
PAC won't do anything about ship tags, character tags, or additional tags. Reporting them won't do anything except make volunteers spend time telling you that they don't deal with those issues.
If there are authors you don't want to see in the tag, you can mute them. If there are individual works you never want to see again, you can block them.
Other than that, you can explain how tags work and what Wranglers are and how AO3 doesn't have algorithms. Different websites have different cultures and expectations, and not everyone realizes that on their own.

Cons of ao3 being down : my mental health takes an immediate nose dive, my plans for tonight are gone, I was in the middle of reading smthn and now I just have to sit here and suffer as I vibrate with the need to know what happens next
Pros : it's funny to watch everyone loose their collective minds over the fact it's down
