day 4 without ao3 and I've rediscovered the concept of watching a movie from beginning to end (two of them to be exact)
I miss this show so fucking much and yet the idea of rewatching it fills me with such bittersweet feelings, like that particular kind of nostalgia and melancholy that comes with Christmas when youโre older? I donโt know how else to explain it.
me opening safari like a normal person just to be reminded that everything hurts and we're only on day 3
when one of my friends starts reading one of my favourite fics ever and suddenly Iโm excited and nervous like I wrote the damn thing myself
on the bright side maybe Iโll finally get around to reading some of those long fics from a few years ago that have been sitting on my tbr forever
I have a whole library of downloaded fics but Iโm genuinely stressed about the whole rhythm of wip updates and the comment exchanges that happen along the way being completely disrupted, not to mention everyone uploading their backlog all at once when ao3 finally comes back
ao3 is down indefinitely, my twt account is dead because I dared to log off for a few days and I canโt rewatch stranger things for the life of me like how the fuck am I supposed to byler out in these conditions ๐ญ
woke up fully expecting this to have been a nightmare but unfortunately the horrors persist so this is my life now
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/
