hey so i found out that not a bunch of people knew about this handy thing
but you can post anonymously on AO3!!! here’s how it works:
- post it under this collection
- everyone sees this work under “Anonymous” but you see your own work as “Anonymous [Your Username]”
- the fic is STILL connected to your account, but nobody can trace it back to you + you still get comments in your inbox!
- “is it like “Orphan”?
- nope! it’s not! the difference is when you Orphan a work, it’s no longer connected to your account and you can’t get alerts/comments.
- “can I de-anon my work?”
- yes you can! you can de-anon your work any time you want. all you have to do is remove your work from the anonymous collection!
if you are shy about posting, or scared of having a work connected back to your account, or even participating in an anon fest, this is PERFECT!
Also, you can reply to comments; it will show your name as “Anonymous Creator.”

This is a thing omg
I’ve been using AO3 for years and didn’t know this!
Boy I sure am glad none of you are dumb enough to be reblogging anti voting propaganda in the middle of an election year.
I’m serious. I’m sick of seeing good people, people I know and respect, reblogging things like “this is just proof that voting does nothing” and “things you can do besides vote/alternatives to voting”. I’m sick of seeing so called “leftist Tumblr” making posts actively encouraging people not to vote. Voting gave us Reagan. Voting gave us Bush. Voting gave us 4 years of Donald Trump and it’ll give us 4 years more if you decide to stay home. VOTING CAUSED THIS HELL YEAR. Either you claim that power for yourself or you give it to the enemy and the enemy has already proven what they can do with it. FUCKING VOTE YOU ASSHOLES.
If voting didn't matter, why are they trying so damn hard to prevent so many people from voting?
important!
I haven’t seen this on here so I thought I might share:
There isn’t a petition for this yet (as far as I know) but sign the #JunkTerrorBillNow petition
Contacting your reps directly will do literally so much more than signing a petition, and it really doesn't take that much longer.

You never see classical inspired sculptures with POC.. So this is really something to me. Absolutely beautiful.
Before I start, I want to say that I have too much time on my hands and I am probably reading too much into this. This is purely speculation. That was your warning, proceed at your own caution:
So I’m watching House M.D. 1.07 Fidelity, and House is asking the patient’s husband if there is any possibility his wife has ever had an affair, cause the disease she has could be transmitted through sex, and the husband doesn’t have the disease. So House is listing different scenarios it would have been easy to cheat and he says “A weekend you were out of town, after a big fight where she ran off to her friend’s house, a stupid Christmas party” and the Christmas one gave me pause. Are Christmas parties a common cheating situation? I’ve never heard that. It’s oddly specific, and House says “stupid” almost as if it’s personal, and if I remember correctly, during the scene, he looks down when he says the Christmas one, almost as if he’s…guilty?
Well that’s weird. He’s talking about cheating during Christmas, and seems almost guilty about it. Now, two episodes ago was the Christmas episode, and, if you remember, at the end Wilson asks House if he wants to come over to his house for Christmas dinner. House is confused cause Wilson is Jewish, and Wilson says whatever, there’ll be food and people. House declines, and Wilson then goes on to suggest that he go over to House’s place, and when House wonders about Wilson’s wife, he deflects and says he doesn’t want to talk about it. In the last scene of the episode, we see Wilson and House presumably at House’s apartment eating Chinese food, laughing, having a good time in an oddly romantic-esque montage but that’s a whole other post.
Now, I’m not saying what I’m saying, but if I was saying what I’m saying….well, and enby can dream.

welp. i was THISCLOSE to posting an adolescent “i hate everything” post… and then i saw this.
Literally just let this play 8 times in a row and my smile never faltered even once 😁

This healed me….
i just learned from animal crossing that pondskaters stay on top of the water by secreting an oil from their feet
that seems kinda obvious in hindsight. i always figured they were just, like, light enough to not break surface tension
They do it by using fucked up and evil magic and they hate god
Nah, they’re miracle bugs. God loves them, so he makes them able to WALK ON WATER.
Did we as a fandom just forget that House said that his and Wilson's song is My heart will go on by Celine Dion. It was said in a joke, but was it REALLY?
The things House says to Wilson are jokes, but the moment Wilson seriously considers any of them, they will stop being jokes, immediately. Like:
“We’ve really gotta get you laid. If I have to plow that furrow myself, so be it.”
And when Wilson claims he’d rather have dinner with his wife than with House, if only she were speaking to him:
“Unlike her, I could make it worth your while.”
He even does it when Wilson isn’t actually there, as when hallucination!Amber asks why he thinks he’s seeing Wilson’s dead girlfriend:
“Probably because of my secrtet and VERY unconscious desire to get Wilson into my bedroom.”
These are just a few I remember well enough to quote with some accuracy. Anyone care to add others?
Do you have any cursed facts about deer? They are my favorite animal.
there’s an entire subset of deer that have sabre fangs instead of antlers!
this is because the very earliest deer on the planet had both antlers AND fangs, but over time deer diverged into two separate lineages that had either antlers OR fangs and they’re both still around today!
THIS ALSO LITERALLY HAPPENED 2 ME FEELS GOOD TO VENT LOOK AT HIS FACE IN THE LAST TWO THANK YOU
You literally can’t tell me they aren’t madly in love
Yeah we all have a million hilson headcanons that we can agree on, but I don’t think a single one of us can agree on what their love languages are
I say House’s is physical affection, and Wilson’s is acts of service but honestly I’m not sure what I think
Sounds accurate to me. I’d add that there’s one love language they share, which is: FOOD.

- “I grew up watching the Public Theater and Shakespeare in the park and Marion Seldes. I mean, I may as well be gay.”
- “I ride my bike home from the theater, watch Leno and on the weekends go grocery shopping. I mean, I spend Sunday cutting up fruit salad for the week.”
- “I think Shakespeare hated young men. That’s my theory, I think he went into bars, and they were mean to him, and he wrote roles like Claudio, and Romeo, and Edmund, Edgar I mean. They are all horrible, horrible roles.”
- “I’m comparing my family to tarantulas is what I’m doing.”

- “Patrick Dempsey es muy feo.”
- “When did TV Guide get so big? Didn’t it used to be like the size of Readers’ Digest?”
i wouldn’t be surprised if all of them were said by him, but 11, 10, 7, and 2 were totally. maybe the 4th too? lol
I recognize a lot of them. But I don’t think he said 11 and 3. 10 could be the real thing.
He did indeed say, “Patrick Dempsey es muy feo.” It was when someone asked if he watched Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t recognize all of these but I would bet you ten internet dollars they’re all genuine.
does anyone else remember when it was in vogue to write about wilson having some variety of serious illness because it was thought that would bring out tenderness and love from house and then when the show said “okay” and gave us season 8 we all panicked and turned into clowns. i’ve never seen a fanbase play themselves more
there were literally livejournal/dreamwidth communities and fests dedicated to sick!wilson. it was almost an entire sub-fanbase within the fanbase
Nightdog_Barks, my beloved friend, was the best Wilson torturer in the business. Check her out on AO3.
If you want a novel's worth of Wilson hurt-recovery, Aftershocks by the Black_Cigarette collective has it. A gambling debt of House's gets paid by Wilson, and them the two of them have to navigate to a new normal. Written by Nightdog, @blackmare-9, Perspi, and me. https://archiveofourown.org/series/258988
In fairness to us as fic writers, though, of COURSE we freaked out. We wanted Wilson to get sick and then recover, not this “dead in five months” bullshit.
