Bizarre and yet somehow completely serious take: I think the neanderthals would be happy to know that things like Wattpad and AO3 exist. Let me explain.
The reason I love storytelling is because storytelling is so painfully human that it connects us across continents, across cultures, across time. Storytelling is both an act of loneliness and of togetherness. The neanderthals making cave paintings so many thousands of years ago were storytellers in the same way that random fanfiction authors on the internet are storytellers: not hoping for profits, just telling stories because we're human and this is what humans do.
Books being published are storytelling too obviously, but there are more layers--there's a need to appeal to the general public, a need to profit, and many layers of editing that can change the original story to be more marketable or polished.
But the storytelling that cavemen were doing wasn't polished or marketable or profitable, and so I think they would actually very much approve of authors on the internet writing for free just because storytelling is what brings humans together. Even if the writing isn't perfect, I think the neanderthals would like it a lot.

@The_sunniest_angels completely NOT serious take: trying to explain all of the weird micro/macro vore smut on ao3 *to* the Neanderthals would be very entertaining.

Everyone who's like...over 18 ish should read All For The Game so that you can go read my new favorite fic in existence, which I'm going to link bc it's literally too good NOT to link it. It's a mermaid/pirate fic with probably some of the best writing I've seen for this kind of story. The pirates find the mermaid on another ship & take him aboard their own & the found family trope is STRONG.

I've decided I'm going to edit Neko/Royalty and Stealing Your Heart at the same time since the vote was so close. Edits will begin immediately after I finish Wings. Wings probably has like a dozen chapters left. Ish.
As a side note, please wish me luck on the Neko/Royalty edits bc...I've got my work cut out for me. Neko/Royalty is probably in the top 5 most difficult to edit (if not literally the MOST difficult), and the fact that one of the characters is part cat makes it so difficult for me to take it seriously so it's gonna need some serious reconstructing so that I can actually feel good about the plot
I'm excited for Stealing Your Heart though! I love thief characters :)

@The_sunniest_angels I love both of them and honestly don't care which you do first. As long as you do both at some point (*cough* and actually update once in a while *cough*) I'll be very happy :)

Hey sunny do u have the latest update i sent u? Or should i resend it? In case it got deleted with all the pm history
The_sunniest_angels
Hi sorry I thought I sent an email, I must have somehow deleted it or it went to spam or something. If you could resend that would be great! I think I have screenshots of it but I would have to search thousands upon thousands of PM screenshots and then retype it word by word so you resending is probably much faster lmao

Final update:
* 135 people arrested
* Police attacked peaceful protestors, shoving them to the ground and hitting them with batons
* A video is circulating of police throwing a protestor to the ground and pinning them there
I said it before and I’ll say it again: the protestors are peaceful. The police are the violent ones. The protestors were just occupying a space, they weren’t even being loud at any of the times that I was nearby. They weren’t disturbing anything. It was public property.
Arrests were not surprising, but it didn’t need to escalate to violence; still, the police did that anyway.

@The_sunniest_angels this is what a gazan, who escaped Gaza says about the protesters https://youtu.be/Rn2gPhZklDw?si=SQg594XhGf5oKkl1

By 10:45 PM last night, 60 peaceful protestors had been arrested and 200 remained on the property. So the arrest number has to be somewhere between 60 and 260. Still waiting on final numbers. I have not heard if anyone was hurt but I’m hoping everyone was safe.

@The_sunniest_angels absolutely terrible what’s the point of arresting them to make a point that it doesn’t matter aggressive or peaceful their just petty assholes

Another day, another protest. Today the protest involved people holding hands in a circle.
My university responding by sending in state police in RIOT GEAR.
If anyone tries telling you that the protestors are the violent ones, they are LYING. I am here, in the middle of it, and the protests are PEACEFUL. They weren’t loud, they weren’t trespassing. They were standing in a public area during daytime hours holding hands in a circle.
Riot gear. State police. Officers were pulled in from the university police force as well as multiple other towns’ police forces in ADDITION to the state police. I have no idea what happened after that but do not believe anyone telling you that the protestors are the problems here because it is the university administration and the police that instigate the violence through severely excessive force.
I know the media makes it looks like the protests are violent. The media is wrong—ask anyone who is on campus during the protest and they will give you the same answer. Nothing is violent until police show up with tear gas.
No word on number of arrests yet but it is confirmed that arrests have happened and that some of them were professors.
I know most of you are too young to be involved, but regardless, just know that the student protestors have been peaceful. That is all.

@The_sunniest_angels oh okay. I just also saw videos like this that talk about Georgia and I didn't understand what it meant exactly, thanks for explaining it to me. hope you will be ok!
The_sunniest_angels
@aon-111 yeah, sure! So basically, my campus still has people protesting that part of our tuition is paying for massive weapons of war (and this particular protest also called for an end to the local housing crisis so it was a two-in-one protest). The protestors were peacefully standing in a circle on a piece of public property (just a public lawn during daytime hours), holding hands and chatting. They weren’t being disruptive or loud. The university sent in: university police, police from other towns (plural—multiple other towns), and state police in riot gear. Riot gear is often used to physically attack people at violent protests—for example, they get massive clear shields that they can used to shove people, and many also have things like batons to hit people, and on rare occasions, they might have tear gas as a chemical weapon against the protestors. They also get larger guns. This is generally a response reserved for riots—hence why it’s called riot gear. It is not an appropriate response for a peaceful protest that’s really just s bunch of adults holding hands. Riot gear can be dangerous to introduce to a peaceful protest. Seeing police with weapons of this magnitude can spark fear, and a terrified crowd is ten times more dangerous than a crowd of people holding hands. Still no update on whether anyone got hurt but I am hoping that despite the riot gear, everyone managed to stay safe.
