Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.
One of my favorite parts of dracula is when lucy needs an emergency blood transfusion and jack starts rolling up his sleeve but then van helsing stops him and is like “no. we need to go get arthur from the other room. we need his manly blood. your wimpy nerd blood isn’t going to do anything” and jack is like “shit ur right.”
We recently received reports about one or more Tumblr accounts posing as “AO3 consultants” and contacting other users about their works on the Archive. In those messages, users are asked to take down their works “due to reports of abuse” or else have their works deleted by AO3 admins.
These messages are in no way sanctioned by the AO3 Policy & Abuse committee, who will never contact users via social media. All messages you receive from our Support and Abuse teams will be signed by the volunteer contacting you, and will reference specific abuse reports, requests for technical support, or other matters pertaining to your account.
Please keep your email address up to date, as this is our only way of getting in touch with you. To check, follow these instructions for changing the email address associated with your account. (If you go to that page and don’t see a place to enter your password, that’s a known issue, sorry! You can work around it by following these steps to change your password.)
So if I may hazard an educated guess: some antis are impersonating Ao3 staff to intimidate authors into deleting content the antis dislike. Stay classy.
I somehow returned to my roots and reread Armand the Vampire. So have a little Amadeo ^^
Not all that happy how his face turned out, but I thought I’d post it anyway because I love the hair and the eyes 😀

While it’s true that butterflies suck nectar from flowers for nourishment, they also feed on on rotting fruit, animal dung and decaying corpses. Flowers alone do not provide enough sodium for butterflies, so they are attracting to salty things. If a butterfly has ever landed on you, it is because the butterfly was attracted by the smell of salt in your sweat and blood. (Source)
That’s beautifully morbid.
