Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

Actually. It’s very important that s8 has a tea party episode. I want to see Buck and Chimney crammed into a tiny table while Jee-yun serves them tea. Very important.
One of the funny things about LotR is that almost every people in it professes to disbelieve in the supernatural, but because they live in a fantasy world their baseline for "natural" is so jacked up. The Rohirrim are like, yeah, there's a wizard in this tower and ancient tradition that we have no reason to doubt says this mountain is full of ghosts, but walking trees? Short people? I don't think so. Galadriel is like, "Listen I heard you describe what I do as magic and look I just gotta clear some things up, okay." Gondorians are like, yeah, of course the Enemy has spectres of men who lived long ago and never died and can now fly above us and incapacitate us with just their voices. This is just a fact of life, okay? But shut up about this magic weed that makes comatose people better. That's an old wives' tale. Royalty? Press X to doubt.
The people group in Tolkien's work who seem most receptive to magic and least restricted by their own notions of what it can do actually seem to be the hobbits. And they use it to avoid meeting people they don't want to talk to

- trump supporters
- transphobes/homophobes who don’t want to learn
- aphobes who don’t want to learn/grow
- aspecs that exclude other aspecs and don’t want to learn to be better
If you want to learn and grow, you are welcome here, but if you are just going to spit hate at us then get fucked.
ugh thinking about how much a golden retriever bisexual buck and black cat lesbian taylor bestie-ism would EATTTTTT like i fear they had no choice but to write off taylor the way they did bc if they made them a mlm/wlw solidarity bestie duo instead of that fuckass relationship they would have been too powerful
and like you KNOW she would have already called his ass out on being in love with eddie like if she were there like she would have taken one look at 7x4 and gone “are you fucking stupid?” with a slap on the back of his head
she would have dunked that big-ass pitcher of beer over tarantula’s head if she heard him make that fucking closet joke
she would have done a hit piece on bigotry within the lafd featuring tortoiseshell when buck told her he got left on the sidewalk by tomato
she would have smacked eddie upside the head already and told him to wake tf up
she would have done a hit piece on ortiz to get mara back to hen and karen
she would have helped track down the cartel to make up for hurting bobby and athena in dosed
taylor kelly you deserved to be a bitchy lesbian and im sorry they made me end up hating you in s5 you deserved better
actually i think graduates of a university should have access to the library databases forever and ever amen
i can’t wait for when chatGPT and ai image generation also crashes and each prompt cost $50 an attempt. oh you can’t get your stolen big tiddy anime ghibli art for free anymore? you want to buy real big boy art from real artists now? beg for it. beg for it like a dog.
Aphobia is crazy because why does my decision not to fuck or romance anybody matter to you
"but Celeborn would add nothing to the plot and would be boring" "he's just galadriel's boring husband" "Celeborn would make Galadriel less interesting she should just marry-"
i am now begging you to please read a book
