This Looks AWESOME!❤

Not an analysis post, but I just want to share to you this part that I noticed when I re-watched Yorknew City arc.

Remember in episode 56 or something when they had to search for the scarlet eyes to track Kurapika?

Look at the whole troupe looking for it:

They're all working so hard and then there's that MF clown:

THIS MF CLOWN

This man. He's just standing over some wooden boxes and not even trying to look like he's searching for the scarlet eyes. Not even trying put in a millimeter ounce of effort.

And you know what else is crazy?

Do you see where he's facing towards? He's facing towards somewhere in the right-corner of the place.

And of course he's looking down. And do you know who is in the direction he's looking at?

Frickin' Machi.

This man decided to spend his time hovering over Machi. Scarlet eyes who? Only Machi.

I bet he was flirting and bothering her all throughout xD

No wonder Machi is so done with him and Phantom Troupe assigned Machi to him. If this is how Hisoka is, then oml it all makes sense.

Of course, they just gave up on making him do work. He's beyond saving

Killmonday ships...? Cute💖💖💖

I'm gonna say it.

It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.

That is a bonkers assumption to make.

I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.

I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.

I am sorry, but I am watching season 2 of HXH and Hisoka going out of the bathroom reminded me of Barbie with the heels.

dark mode galaxy-themed ao3 site skin

Since the frog theme I made earlier was light mode, I decided to make a dark mode skin as well. This one is galaxy-themed and in shades of purple, pink, and blue.

You can get the code and instructions for how to use it here.

Fran doodles :3

Pro-kink means pro-pedophile pro-incest and pro-rape! Remember!

it really doesnt, no

"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.
