When I See

Saltburn was an experience.

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

They are all 3 sentences long

Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation

Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever

No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story

The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

That Barbie meme but it's actually just Barbie and Ken in my weird style (；・∀・)

What if Draco Malfoy cast obliviate on his friends because they were willing to help Draco but he didn't want to put them at risk so he made them forget him? Or maybe he just pushed them all away.

Honestly, I imagine his friend group to be pretty big. Astoria and Daphne Greengrass, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, and Millicent Bulstrode. Maybe even add Lorenzo Berkshire and Mattheo. But, personally, I feel like Blaise and Draco started off with not liking each other before they became frenemies out of obligation and started to warm up to each other.

This post was getting fucking huge so here is a link to my works page, and below the jump you can find descriptions of each :)

Thrown Like a Star Thraxus Boorman/Graydon Hastur Explicit, ongoing, 14/? Graydon Hastur was traumatized, anxious, and had given up on his life, until this journey woke something up in him that had been long locked away. Thraxus Boorman was brash and cynical to cover up his guilt and insecurity, striving for redemption he didn‘t believe he deserved. If they could open up to each other, what would happen? Is love the most powerful thing in the universe? Is desire the most exquisite agony? OR What if you loved me so much it literally undoomed me haha jk unless What if I had so much faith in you it literally reshaped the narrative into a happy ending HAHA JK UNLESS

*For privacy purposes, I cannot share this with a template link. But I was bored and I still wanted to share it, so here are the specifics, though I forgot to add the corner sizes in case anyone would care for it. But anyways, yeah. Here you go, I was just bored and wanted to make a little something.

I feel like Thatch and Marco would really be protective of Ace at first. Not everyone is pleased with the fact that the young troublemaker is joining the crew, and being all buddy-buddy with the commanders and pops at that. As much as some people are overjoyed, there’s also a lot of animosity, and they want to protect the young man from that.

But Ace truly has disarming personality - he seems clueless about positions and hierarchy, treating everyone with respect no matter how strong they are. He makes sure to remember everyone’s name as much as he can, no matter if they’re a commander or a kitchen aid. If you tell him something about yourself, no matter how offhandedly, he’ll keep it in mind. It’s kind of a survival instinct he’s developed without even being conscious of it - being nice and charming, so people won’t leave him behind, won’t hate him, won’t suspect his shameful lineage. If he’s out on a mission, he always brings back trinkets and hand them over with a « oh this made me think of you, thought you’d like it ».

It all seems so natural and good-natured that eventually even the most opposed members end up begrudgingly endeared to him.

Yeah! Youve touched upon one of my favourite Ace headcanons where he’s incredibly observant, very good at remembering personal details or things other people have mentioned or spoken to him about

Hes got that punk ass kid respect thing going on for him, hes brash and rowdy but he’s polite and respectful when he needs to be

Also !!!! Survival instinct a tactic that hes learned conscious unconsciously to help himself along because Makino was right a smile and a thanks is less likely gonna end in a fight

Someone commented on a fic of mine which I honestly thought was the worst one in my series, so I decided to read it. Wow, I feel like I worded some things poorly. Get what people mean by “reading your own things is awesome” now, though. It’s like the author read your mind
