The ‘you’ve got kudos’ email from ao3 is always so depressing after a site shut down

**** ao3 down

Every time people talk about ao3 being down it works perfectly fine for me and I feel crazy but maybe that’s cuz I use it in chrome browser

Ao3 shutting down for maintenance is the only thing realigning my sleep schedule

I JUST REALIZED THAT AO3 DOWN MADE ME ACTUALLY GO OUTSIDE

Thought about reading fanfics tonight before bed and remembered that ao3 is down and I got so distressed

went back to my wattpad roots during the ao3 outage and i was re traumatized with **** written by 12 year olds. never again.

Ao3 is down, and I'm depressed about my dog. I hate this.

Haven't slept since yesterday, feel like **** My back hurts, ao3 down, endfield release soon, i'm ******* tired

Bruh bruhhhhh bruhhhhbruhhhhhhhh guys I’m really really yuri pulled rn 😵‍💫 ao3 could not have gone down at a worse time 💔

WHY IS AO3 STILL DOWN

trying to use fanfic net after ao3 being shut down for the day is no joke why is it so hard

i was asleep and then in class while ao3 was down … see when you’re educated

just saying i don't think it's a coincidence that today was a struggle day at work AND ao3 was down

Having a terrible lupus flare and ended up sleeping through most of AO3 being down so lmao chronic illness win?

At least the ao3 outage is over so pen and maladaptive daydream time is back on the schedule

I didn’t even realize ao3 was down #recovered
