Noooo I was planning to download a bunch of fanfic for my flight today and I just went to AO3 and it is down for maybe 12 hours?!? Do I have to go find and read an actual BOOK? I haven’t done that since December!!
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no, meara!

Oh noooo AO3 may be down for a MONTH?!? I am bereft. (I literally have something like 30 tabs open and another 100 subscriptions…)

Wow, that's bonkers! I hope Libby and/or Kobo+ or the like can tide you over, yikes. You're like that one Twilight Zone with the broken glasses...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I audibly gasped when I read that. I didn't clutch my chest, but the clutching was implied. What the hell, I can handle stopping the percocet from my surgery but I can't handle AO3 withdrawal. (I do actually have a shit ton of favorite fics downloaded, so that will tide me over while I wait for AO3 to return from the war.)

Yeah I was on the immediate oh no no new fic to read thought and then realized that means election and post-election I need to have some other coping mechanisms! Damnit.

Tumblr was already going to be insane next week, but now it's going to be extra.

Another "Oh no" to cope with: Patrick Stewart :(
I'd link to an obit but I don't know which one is good yet. There are bound to be a lot of tributes...
