For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol

ao3commentoftheday

Hiya, was wondering if you know if it's possible to sort of save a set of filters on Ao3's search?

Im a picky picky person who knows what they like and I use the filters liberally. But it's a pain to put it in every time I accidentally close my Ao3 tab or I wander into a new fandom. I'm well aware you can favourite a single tag, but I'm talking multiple tags included and excluded.

Thanks for your time and thoughts!

If you want to look up the same filtered tag again and again, the easiest way is to bookmark the results page. The URL has all of the filters in it, so reloading that URL will give you the latest results with all of the filters applied.

sidenote: it's possible to throw an error by applying too many filters just because it hits the max length of URL allowable by the browser

If you want to apply the same filters to lots of different tags, then you might be better off using the Saved Filters Bookmarklet creatied by reisling on AO3.

I'm a HUGE fan of this script https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/8382-ao3-tracking

It allows you to search for something, add all your filters/exclusions you want on it and then save it, and then with one button have it tell you if there are any updates to that filter and how many. Really helps with rare things that get maybe one update a week and you're constantly refreshing them...

I like to use it with https://greasyfork.org/scripts/5835-ao3-kudosed-and-seen-history which puts a red bar on fics I haven't even seen in a search result before.

I use AO3 Savior (https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/3579-ao3-savior) which lets me blacklist or whitelist tags universally across the AO3. So if I never want to read High School AUs, I can block that in the script and it's blocked no matter what tag I'm in. It works on multiple types of tags, and includes wildcard searching.

there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something

take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)

the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it

but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first

comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now

please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection

ong thank you. I haven't known how to address this but ... tags like this show up a LOT on my posts. and it makes me feel... pretty bad. like, everything you have said here about how not taking time to try and understand something (or excusing yourself from trying to understand it) is detrimental to personal and communal understanding is totally true and extremely important

AND, on a personal level, as someone who is often trying very hard to articulate subjects that our society tends to not have easily accessible pre-existing concepts for: it FEELS BAD for me to read tags like this. it feels like someone staring at me while i work really hard to articulate something really integral to my existence and then when I'm done pausing and saying "anyway," and changing the subject.

I don't want to be like "let me google that for you" levels of flippant. sometimes a search engine seafch of keywords in a post will help illuminate something and sometimes it won't. checking the other notes in a post is often helpful. going back to the OP's blog and seeing if perhaps they have a tag they use for discussing similar subjects can be helpful. asking polite abd direct clarifying questions can be helpful. these will not only expand your understanding but they will make the person you are trying to understand feel engaged with and respected.

if you want to save a post to read later you can save it as a draft! and also frankly there's a lot of stuff that i read that gets me thinking that i need to sit on and rotate for a bit before i can see how it sort of... fits into things. even if you want to reblog something you are still chewing on, tags like "this post is giving me a lot to think about" feel a lot less dismissive to me personally

anyway. 100% agree. its ok to take time. there's stuff i have read that took me literal years to understand fully (and i still have understanding of some of those things that is as yet unearthed, too)

#I'm seeing one defense that this is an implicit request for help understanding #and to anyone using tags like this that way:#please make your requests more explicit than your self put-downs #because the one that's more explicit is going to one that's understood first

emotional responses are deeply evolutionarily advantageous in any animals that are making complex decisions and behaviors (in many vertebrates, say) because they act as a reinforcer for a behavior. a bird taking a vigorous bath in a puddle is probably happy because if that behavior didnt elicit a positive feeling they wouldn't do it (it is dangerous to be on the ground and wet!). if an animal can feel fear, which i think is a less contested assertion to make, then it can certainly feel the opposite, that is, happy.

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

parakeet

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

parakeet

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

auncyen

the link in that last reblog doesn't work (at least not for me) so here's what seems to be the relevant post.

#tumblr #huh #that is indeed a setting #I'm actually wondering if I want to turn it ON (my shared likes are off so it's default off)#but this is good for people to be aware of either way

one part of my brain will be like "just put everything on hiatus. absolutely everything. you're tired of fandom rn and you're tired of running into issues you seem to hit every time with fics over 10k even though you really wanna write fics over 10k to cover plot ideas. just take a break. don't start anything new"

and the other part of my brain will be like "what if there was a sadness that struck people with fear/anxiety so bad they regress mentally to children and the Vaugardian part of the party gets stuck with a kid!Odile who is trying to work out what scheme they're pulling here and a kid!Siffrin who reacts weirdly every time they try to check on his well-being"

#kid!odile: They're very friendly. I don't trust it. You're weird too but you seem more confused than anything so. We can be allies.#kid!siffrin: *nod nod*#mira and isa just watching from a distance like 'at least they're getting along with each other???'#BUT YEAH THE WRITING MOOD IS JUST KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Why are all music teachers like this 😭😭😭

communeist

THEY ARE

crematedequally

when i was 8 i had a very intimidating russian woman as a music teacher- she was both my opera instructor and piano teacher. about a month into piano, she sat me down and said to my mother and i "this child- very beautiful voice, good for singing. i will not allow this child to continue piano. god did not want this child to play an instrument. he told me this in dreams. that is all."

my mom had it written down on a slip so we could remember the exact words because it was so funny. i HATED playing piano and i was definitely not good at it (i did end up having a good 5 years of opera training and ended up being a pretty accomplished choir singer though) and the idea of god sending my incredibly severe and serious russian piano teacher a dream begging her to stop teaching me piano was probably the funniest way it could have gone.

#. my piano teacher was nice #granted I didn't do it long and I definitely don't remember any of it but #I do remember she wasn't mean about it lol
