I Can’t Believe That We Have To Say “hey, Don’t Publish And Sell Other People’s Work” In The

I desperately wish people would start actually reading the AO3's TOS before confidently making 'user guides' to the AO3 that are just blatantly, flatly wrong.

Yes the AO3 has banned content. They do not allow anything that's illegal under US law - though US law, importantly, does not ban fictional depictions of things - and they do not allow any commercial content. That includes your ko-fi link, or mentions that you do fic commissions. If you do post fic commissions to AO3 and want to mention the commissioner, the fic is a 'request' from the commissioner. This protects the AO3 and you from copyright law.

No the AO3 is not 'a creative fanfiction archive'. It is a fandom archive. Your meta, insights, and theories are absolutely welcome and encouraged there. AO3 also encourages you to post other types of fanworks, like fan videos, podfics, and art, but unfortunately isn't able to natively host those like it does text, so fic has kind of become what it's known for. That absolutely does not mean that other types of fanwork aren't allowed, or are discouraged by the site culture! Anybody who tells you otherwise is just plain wrong!

When you hold me, it holds me together.

Red White and Royal Blue: Iconic Scenes

The two scenes that in my opinion have made film history.

Alex and Henry lazing around at the lakehouse.

This may seem like nothing special, but note how they're out in the open sunshine, almost naked, in an attitude that leaves no doubt at the fact that they're a couple. Name me another movie or show that shows a same-sex couple in such a relaxed, natural attitude.

They have nothing to hide.

The final scene.

No big revelation, no impassioned declaration, no celebration of any kind.

To world-wide celebrities - Henry, who grew up in castles, and Alex, who spent these last years at the white house - retire into privacy in a simple, one-storey house.

They have each other, that's all they need.

This movie is marking a cultural change already now.

Now Complete!

What do you have against color?

11K • Explicit • Firstprince • Urban Sketchers AU

Upon opening the hardcover of a found sketchbook to locate the owner's contact details, Alex discovers only this inscription: > In case of loss, please return to: Instagram @henryfox.usk He, of fucking course, knows who Henry Fox is. That striking yet humorless, rude, and self-righteous British prick he met on the first day of the symposium.

Or, an AU where Alex and Henry are urban sketchers. A short story of how they get to know each other, fall in love and in bed within one day.

Please note that the sketches in this work were all generated with ChatGPT and then manually edited by myself with Procreate. They were not entirely hand-drawn by me, although I do wish I had that level of skill. 😭

Firstprince hands have their own chemistry:

where it all began….

this was the first rwrb art i ever made - tbh i thought it was a one-off and i never intended to post more art but as u can prob tell these lovesick homosexuals have taken over my life

Completed this little comic of Marco X Elliott ! honestly I love it. two extra pages will be posted on my patreon! you can already find the sketches in chat

Fanfic writers!

My theory is that most fanfiction writers are 30+. Let's test this theory.

Henry and his ties: (part 1)

Pink

Affectionate and soft, the adjectives given to the Prince of England's hearts

Blue and white stripes

Formal, navy is the color of authority and power

Blue and light blue stripes (Henry focus pls)

Simple but formal, two colors often used for work settings. Light blue adds friendliness

Grey

Conservative and conformative, add mysteriousness

Orange Copper

Wealth, copper indicates luxury and sophistication

Blue and silver stripes

Grace and elegance, Henry needed to be pretty for his date 💕

Carmine with green stripes

Love, red is associated with passion and sensuality but also prohibition (+ green can indicate outlaw lifestyle)

Sky blue with thin white stripes

Peace, sky blue symbolizes daydreaming and conveys serenity; white is associated with purity

Side addition: solid tie is the basic pattern that doesn't add anything to the tie and lets the color speak for itself; polka dot adds playfulness and/or sophistication; stripes mean classic and elegant but can differ from one another (Henry always wears the British type with stripes that run from left shoulder down to the right side)
