@DaemyraD Fr the only joy I need is ao3 when I’m free from my dobby era and then ao3 was down so gave stress + desperation xddd

People are willing to donate to Ao3 and be devastated when the site is down, but they couldn't care less about people getting killed by Israel. Actual loser behavior

@starsforxavi Can AO3 maybe focus on not being down for days instead of nerfing my favorite writers? 😭 I'll still show love on Tumblr tho too

@kookmies @koovmpire Im so sorry! Ao3 took it down!! I will try to post it again soon 😭😭😭😭

My default setting is show entire work because at least the offline tab is showing everything when ao3 goes down

@angeIsfIy91 ao3 is still down 🥲🥲 the name is dark doom honey

i don’t even go here but the best part of ao3 being down is the sheer disdain for wattpad coming from the bylers trying to get their fix

@deinejay i thought about answering comments and ao3 shut down for like two days so maybe it was not meant to be for me 😭

@moolymacs I do it everytime to prevent getting stuck in the middle of a story in case AO3 gets down. It became a habit.
