american person: *writes date*
me: but there is no 15th month

We’ve already crossed so many lines and broken so many rules— what would one more matter in the grand scheme of things? In my grand scheme of things? To gods such as we, nothing, certainly.

over all the millennia, only you have ever loved me, thor. only you have ever looked at me with affection in place of condescension. why, then, am i killing you, and not the others?
because you stopped.
“Endgame”???? THAT was the big secret? Laaaaaame.
Alternate titles are:
Avengers: Nebula (You all know she deserves to kill him)
Avengers: Crying and depressed superheros
Avengers: Thank god for Scott Lang
Avengers: Hawkeye spotted
Avengers: for real, fuck Grimace
Avengers: Contracts’ end
Avengers: help us, Carol Danvers and 90s technology, you’re our only hope
Avengers: Clint goes goth
Avengers: Hot Tub Time Machine
Avengers: just at the moment I think I’ve successfully emotionally detached from this hell they give me Tony, hopeless and dying in his sexy tanktop with the battered remains of his helmet sitting there as a metaphor for EVERYTHING, and I’m an emotional mess again
Avengers: Emotional Blackmail
Avengers: Where the fuck is Loki?
Avengers: Who the fuck is Loki?
Avengers: Why the fuck is Loki?
Avengers: Why do you stupid fangirls still care about that pretentious ponce when we are giving you all these patriarchy-approved Macho Macho Men to swoon over? Look, they’re even shedding manly tears of sensitivity, just for you
Avengers: Endgame Thorki

In case of deletion
If you are rushing to back up your blog, reminder of something you might not have thought of:
Back up your tumblr chat and messaging conversations.
I don’t know of any automated way to do it, but… I don’t know about you, but half of what I enjoy about this place is the people, and I’ve had some awesome conversations over the years, and if tumblr continues on this path of behaving like a cross between a toddler with a keyboard and a wildfire, all of that could very well be deleted.
So back up your important conversations now.
Happy holidays from AO3!
To celebrate the spirit of giving and gathering, we’re providing 8 invitations to all users who have been with us 6 months or more and
- posted at least 1 work, or
- left at least 5 comments, or
- given at least 10 kudos
Since we’re generating a lot of invitations (over 7 million!), it might take a few days for them to arrive in your account, so don’t worry if you haven’t gotten them just yet! You can follow these instructions to access and share your invite codes with anyone who wants an account.
Happy Hanukkah!
Me, not thinking about how many users we have: last year we sent holiday invitations on Christmas… hey, right now it’s Hanukkah! Let’s make it eight!
Also! Why you might want to hit someone up for an invitation even if you don’t create fanworks:
- Bookmark things! Even privately! Because sometimes you really want to return to that particular piece of filth over and over but you don’t want anyone to know. >.>
- Change how the site looks! For example, the Reversi skin provides a dark grey background with white text, perfect for ~bedtime reading~, as 99% of our Twitter followers refer to it when we go down at certain hours.
- There’s even a moderately useful skin wizard to make it easier to tweak the display if you don’t know CSS and there isn’t a skin that fits your needs. (It’s okay; I’m allowed to call it “moderately useful” because I’m the one who rewrote the code. I know where it’s lacking.)
- Leave kudos with your name attached! (I mean, maybe you don’t want this, depending on your reading habits. But maybe you do!)
- Subscribe to your favorite WIPs, series, or creators to get email notifications of updates! Just… don’t forget to check your spam folder or your Social tab if you use Gmail, because sometimes they end up there.
- Keep track of what you’ve read and want to read with History and Marked for Later! A random selection of three works you’ve Marked for Later will even sit there on the homepage and judge you silently when you go I have nothing to reeeead.
