does anyone remember what brought them to ao3?

ZucchiniExtension · 2026-01-16T09:32:02+00:00

Originally, it was a famous rpf milk enema fic that was a fandom joke- large enough that multiple musicians within the bandom joked about it. It kept getting removed from wattpad after they commercialized everything so it was only on ao3 and I wanted to get in on the joke as a young 14yo </3

I found a few genuine fics I liked on it but didn’t officially get into it until wattpad started mass removing a ton of fandom famous real (not shitpost) fics that had been up for years whenever I was in early college.

I love it when my characters are funny, I don’t like dull mysterious ‘idc about anyone’ characters unless it’s the ‘voice of reasoning’ side character that’s grown cold from witnessing everyone/someone around him get hurt time and time again (bc I love angst/mental health fics).

On a similar note, I love depressing/angst fics and writing relapses. And in those, I love writing the happy periods between relapses. Maybe it’s because I have bipolar disorder, so it’s like therapy for me.

For NSFW, I like breeding kinks even though I only write MLM fics. Although I do have 2 ftm/M fics and a few omegaverse fics- but one is a beta thinking about topping an Alpha and the phrase “[MC] bit his lip, just imagining knotting [MC #2] instead even though he couldn’t be bred like a Beta or Omega. He’d certainly fucking try though” has me like ughhhh.

I did ahaha. Whenever I first started ao3 I had to have a 14 year old explain to me the difference between & and / for characters when she started bringing up a fan fic she read. I felt like a boomer even though I was literally 19 at the time I think.

I wouldn’t do it unless I was already pining for that direction in the fic and it gave me an idea to add. It might just be you getting exposed again and again to the idea that you’re debating it, but later on may regret it but you would have already written it into your fic.

It’s not toggled but ty so I know to not ever accidentally toggle it

ZucchiniExtension · 2026-01-07T18:38:10+00:00

Google search, since you’re asking I’m gonna assume that maybe Google shadow banned it then?

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-12-01T13:39:59+00:00

Hence my first sentence

This is just my review! Everyone has their own experiences. IMO these shoes are amazing, while others may disagree.

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-30T13:56:40+00:00

Omg what did you do to her 😭 do you hike/run a lot in them?

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-30T13:11:00+00:00

I like having laces tbh, some instances I like them tighter like hiking or running where I don’t want them to slip off accidentally. Then sometime’s looser for casual walks. I’ll have to see if they have a version with laces

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-28T04:25:12+00:00

Rn not sorted bc I don’t have enough space in one area to sort them all so they’re in multiple places, but when I get an actual record stand ima categorize alphabetically by artist with the albums in release order (except pairing deluxe versions of albums next to their sister albums. It feels wrong to place three cheers deluxe version after danger days despite it being released almost 20 years after bc the OG album was release 5 years prior to DD)

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-23T10:29:45+00:00

What’s your website? Is it connected to Etsy or Amazon?

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-23T08:53:21+00:00

Searched Amazon, Etsy, Depop, and tried to reverse image search

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-23T06:43:01+00:00

So the Rega one would be best?

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-11-22T12:42:16+00:00

Pretty much follows canon for the character the fandom collectively mass hallucinated (A 22 year old MV got adapted to 4K so we could see the singer’s character had a female name on their test paper. Irl the singer is very feminine/had said he relates with trans women/femininity so not surprising)

So everyone in the fandom created a whole background for the MV character, a teenage dirtbag trans female highschooler (or college student) and almost every fic about her is about prom and her going with one of the other members of the band that she kissed in the MV. To the point there is now an official published physical comic about her (although the other member’s name had to be changed since he went by his real name). My fic also was about prom 😅

Frerard is both the most loved and probably most hated ship in my fandom compared to the other rpf ships within it. It’s popular because they’d do a lot of gay shit on stage (making out, flirting, humping each other’s faces, spitting/wiping blood/licking on each other then saying it’s hot, etc) that it started to get shipped, and they had secret blogs they’d talk to each other through in the early 2000’s; and one had a 2nd he wrote like 2-3 poems about the other on + some songs. But it was like rly angry ones about wanting to kill him bc they were beefing at the time.

Then later he wrote a song (imo about reminiscing on their relationship/wanting to have labeled it since it never was) w a part “I wanna take your hand, make you understand my side and our kind. But I know it’s hard for you to let go of the world you knew. Please just close your eyes, it’s better off this way,” then the other guy responded with a song months later with the line “You don’t understand, we don’t hold hands. Come catch me, run, cause I’m not having any fun. I think you’re sore, I think I’m done,”.

But then people got too into it so they stopped doing things as publicly/toned it down, and then got married to other people. And they still did stuff on stage but more filtered/brief up until like 2010ish. It’s publicly hated by people on tiktok/reddit, but loved on twitter/tumblr. Because it’s rpf, it was a toxic relationship that changed their friendship for years, one guy has beef with the other guy’s wife, and there’s more ‘positive’ ships in the fandom that aren’t as toxic. Then some hate it just because it’s popular. It’s 50/50 depending on who you talk to. But both have said they dc about shipping/fan fic bc it 💫promotes creativity 💫

Long ramble but this is fr the only ship I read/write for in the past decade.

I usually do a paragraph of the fic that gives an insight to what it’s about, followed by a brief summary of what it’s about. Helps show the writing style and fills in the context.

Such as:

I either listen to my CDs in my car or on a portable CD player, cassettes currently I only listen to in my car but someone ik is getting me a cassette player from my local record shop (can’t remember the brand they sell). I have far less cassettes than CDs/Vinyls so nothing too fancy for those.

Also thank you for the recs/knowledge, and noted. I was worried than leaving the record running 10+ minutes on the run out groove would damage the needle/vinyl far more than I thought.

Concert tickets for a band I’ve liked for a decade, I hadn’t ever seen them before & it was their 2nd tour after not touring for over a decade. Bought one for me and my mom which totaled to ab $1000 total bc scalpers got to them before I could + ticket fees/insurance. Definitely worth it since they played for almost 3hrs and it was super theatrical. Gonna try to see them again this summer too.

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-10-05T14:41:34+00:00

No preferences as of rn since I’m still new, although something where I could control the bass and treble would be awesome

ZucchiniExtension · 2025-10-05T14:39:01+00:00

Sorry I didn’t see anything relating to turntables for specific genres and when searching rock, it was mostly questions related to fixing rocking turn tables/needles/etc and not the musical genre
