There is a special place in hell for all the people behind these bot attacks that harm AO3 and the communities we built.
A reminder that Archive of Our Own is not Instagram or TikTok. It isn’t run by a big company with money and power. The site is a non-profit site run by volunteers (fans), for fans. And its main purpose is to bring people within the same fandom together and connect artists with audiences who would love and appreciate these artists’ works. It’s the only platform without any ads, without any censorship, without any of these capitalism bullshit. It doesn’t make users pay for any features and the only source of money they get, to keep the site up and running, is through donations. It’s literally a safe place for every fandom.
To think that it’s a target just because it’s easier to attack than those huge companies is just so sad.
Not to mention that there are so many genuine guest users out there (people who aren’t logged in / don’t have an AO3 account), and these people are directly affected by this whole thing, because they are no longer able to comment and connect with their favorite creators — and this still affects creators directly because I know for a fact that getting comments and being able to connect with their audience mean the world to them. I don’t blame AO3 for disabling guest comments altogether.
I do blame and curse the fuckers behind these bot attacks though.
If you try to sabotage AO3, out of all the other platforms out there, you are pathetic. You’re not just attacking a small, independent company, you’re trying to tear apart people’s communities and safe place. Disrespectfully, fuck you. Burn in hell.
Mad respect to all the brave soldiers that are AO3 volunteers who work harder than god fighting these scums.
I know these brave soldiers will win in the end (they always did, this isn’t their first battle, mind you), but in the meantime I’m sending them all my love and respect. They truly are the heroes.

"You've always been enough," Your f/o begins, taking your hands in theirs. "And I'll do whatever it takes to show you how loved you are, whether that's 2 days or my entire life." They smile lovingly, their fingers smoothly caressing the knuckles by your fingers.

“babe, that fictional man is a grown ass adult and a bloodthirsty psychopath who unalives people for fun”
I know all that, but he has pretty eyes and a tragic backstory and if you’re mean to him, this is who you’re mean to by the way

You will never be too complicated or too much for your f/o, in any sense of the word. You aren't too dramatic, too emotional, too distant or quiet, too silly, too serious, whatever it may be. Your f/o loves you for you, and being your authentic self will never be too overwhelming, too stressful, anything of the sort. If anything, they love these things about you, it helps them feel as if you're comfortable enough to be yourself around them.
