Ao3 Is Actually Massively Culturally Important And Very Very Good At Being What It Is. Im So Serious

Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

Here is some Law x Luffy fan art. Again, it is not mine. Below is the link to the Pinterest page I found it on. The artist is unknown. If you know who the artist is, message me the identity so I can give credit. If you are the artist of the image, tell me so I can give credit or take down the post if you do not approve.

ONE PIECE

This is a YouTube Playlist for One Piece fan comics. The playlist belongs to Ms.AngeliChemicals, but I don't think they created the comics themselves. Either way, THIS is what got me liking ZoLu and LawLuffy. There are also ZoSan comics, but I haven't read those...

Enjoy!

OH. MY. XIE. LIAN!!!!!!! That is lovely...it's a good thing the sub is there!

whoops

Here we go, ladies and gentlemen! One of my few Het Ships!

My I Introduce:

Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne

From Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Destiny

This is my favorite Gundam Ships, period. Don't get me wrong, I like Heero Yuy and Relena Peacecraft, but these two are just...better!

Kira comes out as more human. He didn't start out as a warrior nor was he trained from a young age to be one. He was just a college student living in Heliopolis. He simply wanted a peaceful life. He was thrust into the war mainly to protect his friends. He lost his home and at one point, questioned his own identity. He is soft-hearted and gentle but is dedicated to protecting his loved ones and, despite the war, he maintains his gentle and loving nature. He does know that although he hates war, sometimes it is necessary to fight for what you believe in.

Now Lacus is like Relena in certain ways. Both have a father in a political role and have had a cushy upbringing, with Relena going to a high-class private school, and Lacus becoming a pop-princess. The main difference between them is the idea of sacrifice and how much they are willing to give up for their cause. Relena doesn't seem to sacrifice much, whereas Lacus in the end, is willing to give up the lifestyle she grew up in, her popularity/status of being a symbol of the PLANTS, her home, and ultimately her own freedom. She literally committed a crime by stealing the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam and giving it to Kira so he could continue to protect his loved ones and try to end the war.

Kira and Lacus' relationship, from friends to romantic partners, is more consensual throughout their story than Relena and Heero's relationship. Relena's affection and care for Heero were initially one-sided, as Heero originally wanted to kill her in order to keep his identity a secret, whereas Kira and Lacus quickly became friends during their first meeting, with Kira willing to threaten his freedom aboard the Archangel to keep her from being used as a bargaining chip for Earth.

Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I just love them SO much! Lacus is also my favorite woman in all of the Gundam series! (NOTE: I hate the color pink with a passion! However, I overlook that particular trait with Lacus because I love her as a character!)

OMXL!!!!! This looks amazing! I love cosplay, but I'm not good at making my own. This is just...amazing! I didn't think Dabi could get any hotter...I WAS WRONG!!! Who is this cosplayer? I need to know so I can check out their other cosplays!

ALL YOU DABI FUCKERS LOOK AT THIS COSPLAY

@dabislittlemouse

this is for those who despair over seeing ships or tropes that make them uncomfortable while they do their little scrolly-scroll on ao3, acting like they aren’t responsible for their own internet experience
