“go to ****” is basic. “i hope ao3 is down when it’s time to relax and read” is smart. it’s possible. it’s terrifying

is ao3 down…?

@tfitsdev if ur down to read sa ao3, don’t look at me like that (the director is watching) is really good

i don't think ao3 should be taken down as a whole but i also don't like people who defend it a little too much, yk

Remember when ao3 is known for authors getting into some very unfortunate circumstances or the website shutting down, good old days

bruh im actl gna start downloading fics bc at this rate the normies r gna get ao3 banned or taken down🫩🫩🫩
