'ao3 Needs A Like And Dislike Button'

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

Steve walks into an Avengers meeting room to see Peter and Clint talking:

Peter: I haven't paid taxes in 4 years and I'm fine

Steve: *leaves room in confusion and then comes back 30 seconds later to inquire more*

Peter: All I'm saying is if I were god I could do a better job

Steve: *leaves again*

Just saw a GIF of Clint Barton in casual clothes holding a bow and am now convinced that in universe he has the same famous person situation as Tony Hawk. He is completely unrecognized in public unless in the vicinity of That One Object. ‘It’s random middle aged guy.’ He picks up a bow. ‘Holy shit it’s Hawkeye!’

Ship what you like and write what you like, just make sure you tag it so it doesn't end up triggering someone who didn't want to see that. It's been proven time and time again now in studies that fictional fantasies are not indicative of a person's real life morals, but you know what is? Lacking the empathy in understanding and acknowledging that your views are not universal and just because you are okay with something, does not mean everyone is and wants to see it. There's a difference between censorship and content warnings. Censorship is far too easily weaponised at the life threatening expense of minorities and other vulnerable groups. Content warnings/tags are not censorship, it's the only way people, in real life or in fandom spaces, can safely exist in a world where censorship is rightfully rejected. Asking for common decency is not ship hate.

"My thing is not your thing" goes both ways. Anti-censorship and content warnings go hand in hand, they're essential to one another. Warnings are not an attack.

MCU angst playlist: Civil War era Tony

Poor Tony :(

#mcuangstplaylist

Normally it’s Tony who goes on the invention binge and disappears into his lab for an unknown amount of hours before reemerging half delirious with giant black circles under his eyes

So he knows he kind of deserves this when it happens to Peter after they get together

And as he’s sitting upright in bed, scared half to death from waking up to Peter standing in front of him and staring at him, he silently vows to apologize to Rhodey, Happy and Pepper for doing this to them multiple times in the past
