people getting mad at ao3 for rightfully being firmly against censorship and allowing dark fics that depict taboo subjects in explicit details to be on their platform is so funny to me because ao3 was created specifically to be a fuck you to capitalism and censorship. the point of ao3 is that it’s a place to host and archive any fanwork, which includes fanwork about taboo topics that are not allowed on other platforms like wattpad or fanfiction.net
the whole point of ao3 is that it’s a safe space for all fics, and that includes fics about taboo subjects
ao3 has always been firmly against censorship since the day it was created, that’s why it’s run by fans, for fans, on fans’ donations, why it’s a nonprofit organization, that’s also why it has no ads or algorithms or any of those capitalism bullshit
if you have a problem with that, go to fanfiction.net or wattpad. no one forces you to stay in the house made specifically for the (affectionate) freaks
THE UNIVERSE WAS complex. It was forever changing and multiplying, with new things discovered almost daily. The universe was the only thing older than the stars themselves, and the stars were very old themselves, being one of the first beings to come from the inky black void of nothing.
Everything was changing, and nothing stayed the same forever. Things changed form or shape when it was no longer useful, thats mostly how evolution worked. Over thousands and thousands of years, a process happens in which different kinds of living organisms are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the Earth.
The stars sat high up in the sky, burning up in the atmosphere and watching as the world changed and expanded. They were there for it all, the one constant in a sea of continual change in the endless and infinite universe, they had seen it all; everything that had happened and everything that will happen.
They were the constants in an endless universe of change. The thing that stays the same around the universe, they are therefore, perhaps the only thing in the universe that has stayed the same for as long as they have. It was almost inevitable that humanity would come to rely on stars in the way they have throughout the years.
Humans had a fascination with stars and only had a basic understanding of how they worked, often using them as a guide. to navigate their way to new and exciting places, and more importantly, it was used as a way to find their way home.
Look up to the stars and you'll eventually wander back home.
They were watching over us, sitting high in the clouds as they watched not only the human race build empires and then tear them down when they got bored or the monarch had been toppled off the throne and the stars had been there when humans made up stories and spun tales made of gold for all those things that they see in quiet corners or the corner of the eyes that they just couldn't explain.
The stars had been there for them all, across every planet and civilisation that formed across the planet, but only a few have ever dared to reach for them. The stars had learnt that that had become a common phrase among the human race. 'Reach for the stars,' they would say as if they knew what it meant to be among them; they did not, and they never would.
Stars and planets formed and vanished every second, and it was only a few very daring, brave individuals who dared to see what was at the ends of the universe and beyond.
One of these individual people was a race known as the Time Lords, they had multiple worlds at their fingertips and only their own creativity to stop them, but then a war broke out and desolated an entire race leaving the sole survivor a scarred and broken man but with a big heart that he wanted to use to help people.
That person was known only as The Doctor, the last of his kind
He stole a TARDIS and, since then, has been flying around the universe, making both friends and enemies in powerful positions -- but The Doctor didn't care as long as he got to help people along the way with things that their heads couldn't quite process, then that was enough for him
The Doctor didn't know this, but he always had someone looking over him, long after he thought he had lost everyone. The stars looked after him, just like they looked after every person and creature on every planet, no matter what dark corner of the universe they had been tucked into.
And as he sailed across the worlds, never stopping for more than a minute to enjoy his victories before moving on to travel to the next. He was lonely, the stars could tell that much, and they felt themselves weep for him at times because they had seen what the fall of Gallifrey had done to him.
The Doctor was carrying guilt that wasn't his to carry. He was a scarred man, broken into a million different pieces and didn't have the tools to place himself back together -- and so the stars decided to gift him someone that would find her way back to him…When the time was right.
See, all creatures -- especially humans -- were fickle and desired a connection with another soul over anything else. Over time, these stories have been spun and respun, but the common term that the stars have come across is Soulmates.
The notion of soulmates was something so simple and yet so tangible. Souls connect and understand each other in a way that no other soul or person could possibly understand. It was a bond that couldn't be broken easily, it was a bond that caused two people to find each other no matter the distance that had come between them.
So the stars set to work, forging the Doctor a perfect soulmate whose soul would be interconnected to the Doctor's. Tested under the heat of flames and the throes of passion, this type of bond could stand the test of time and never yield to outside pressure..
Thus Estrella James was born, put on Planet Earth and awaiting the moment that The Doctor would find them again -- although they didn't know that yet, all they knew is they had their head in the clouds and daydreaming about a million different things at any given time even when society told her to grow up and stop living in their head because that wouldn't get them anywhere.
Estrella didn't listen. They never did.
Instead, they listened to the stars, the same stars that would tell them stories when they couldn't sleep at night or when they were afraid when they were seven because her clumsy butt fell out of a tree when they were seven and broke both of her arms
They would always listen to the stars, and the stars would always listen to them
Estrella James didn't really have many friends, mostly because people couldn't put up with their personality, but that was just fine with Estrella. As dreadful as it sounded, they would rather be alone forever than see the two sides of humanity; they didn't need that kind of drama in their life
A miracle upon miracle, though, Estrella did have two friends. Amelia Pond -- who, as she got older, started adopting the nickname Amy. The two of them got on so well because when society told them they couldn't believe in the impossible, they did, and the last part to their trio was Rory Williams who over time had become a brother to Estrella and something more to Amy.
Estrella has always had their head in the clouds and wanted to dance among the stars, but they never thought they would get the chance: That was until one seemingly normal day, as all things start their life got flipped upside down and Amy and Estrella would meet the man that had Amy believing in the impossible.
Only when the Doctor found them again would their real adventures begin.

Dr Henry Loomis is like a mix of Ian Malcolm and Alan Grant. He knows a lot about dinosaurs like Alan, as he IS Alan's student and he has the intellectual of Ian, frowning upon the arrogance of humanity in their delusion into thinking they can control mother nature.
"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world
fiyero's point of view of part one is hilarious. He leaves elphaba and glinda to themselves for one day and now Elphie is wanted by the government and glinda is technically a prisoner/is kissing up to the wizard and super sad about Elphie. The throuple is in danger and now he's left to hold the braincell.
