UPDATED APRIL 2025 (previous version | oldest version)
the links broke again so this time we're trying the tumblr image links and hope they don't spontaneously break (as has been known to happen) 🤞
Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?
Well, have I got the html for you!
Plop any of the codes in a comment (by copy&pasting the code under Keep reading - scroll to the bottom of the post) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!
bonus: cookie kudos
SCROLL DOWN TO GET THE CODES (under the cut)!
Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like, however you like!
[ if you enjoy them, consider supporting my ko-fi ]
I've received a lot of good suggestions for more variants but can't keep up with them all, so here are some resources to make it easier to make your own.
PSD for easily editable text (there is a color fill layer for adding a bit of white where the stroke doesn't cover small holes. I recommend cropping excess empty space out before exporting as PNG)
and here are PNGs of the kudos button for any other editing needs, with and without white stroke:
Use your favorite image host, copy the direct image link, insert it between the quotation marks in the code, add alt text, and you're ready!
<img src="[DIRECT IMAGE LINK]" alt="[ALT TEXT]">
(you can add any image or gif to a comment like this as long as you have the direct image link btw)
if you post your kudos images, I'd be grateful if you'd link back to this post so other people can find the resources too 💗
When you paste into the AO3 comment box, make sure the quotation marks are straight:
NOT curly:
simply deleting and re-typing them in the ao3 comment box should fix this!
Many of the old image links from the original post are broken. I cannot fix them. Please use the new codes going forward ❤️

the way they play dean thinking adam is a trap as him being paranoid and pessimistic and then he’s literally right. like. again. s4 is a season about dean being right over and over again and no one listening to him because he doesn’t have physical evidence. dean winchester you are the cassandra haunting this narrative and babygirl i am all ears
It's definitely not purposeful on writers' part, but I like to think of this as Dean starting to see over that 4th wall of God's writing.
Dean is shown to be very pop culture savvy. He reads Vonnegut, he watches old westerns, cheesy horror movies, game of thrones, greys anatomy, etc. He knows the general structure of a story, of the tropes and twists and turns.
He doesn't truly believe his life is being orchestrated by a higher being yet, but he definitely starts to find the pattern of suffering. There is no chance, within the narrative of their life, that Sam and Dean would just find a secret sibling and it not blow up in their face somehow.
hi. i’m obsessed with the idea that dean’s pop culture knowledge is what clues him in to the fact that he himself is in a story. thank you and i love you
Do you ever like physically feel yourself pass your mental breaking point and then all you can think is “oh these next few days are going to be interesting”
Like you’re just sitting there silently and on the outside you seem fine and gathered but in your head you’re like “oh this is gonna hit me like a train any second”
i don't even remember where or when i saved this but i love it so much because it's like. i am not a shipper, i don't like romance in my shows. but you'd have to be fucking stupid to not realize that dean is in love with cas. literally all you need is to have eyes and have watched the show to know it's true.
I genuinely do think that Eliots reaction to figuring out he's in love with Parker and Hardison would be "sure, that makes sense, I don't have time to figure out that mess though so I'll just continue to make sure they don't fucking die"
Possibly with an added "dammit Hardison" for good measure.
I don't think he'd get angsty. I think he's acknowledge it and move on with his life, there's cooking to be done and bad guys to beat up. Parker might notice him getting a bit softer around them, she might figure out what it means. It won't matter. Not right away.
She'd gather information. Figure out what Hardison thinks without telling him what's going on takes time. I don't know if Eliot would know that she knows. He'd probably suspect it but won't bother asking her, it would only make things complicated and they seem to have some kind of agreement.
Eliot won't expect it when she casually asks him "you're in love with us, right?" but he will answer honestly. A soft "yeah" confirming what she already knows. It would make Hardison look up from his laptop incredibly confused, which in turn would make Eliot raise and eyebrow at Parker. Who'd just roll her eyes and say something along the lines of "just kiss each other already, you dumbasses"
Okay, I gotta be honest, the almost pirates of the carribbean music is throwing me off.
The way Danny always dances with Grace is just adorable.
Okay! And having kissed and dances with Catherine, Steve is now dancing with Danny. I have never seen a show do this with the two main male leads before. Never.
Interesting how much Danny wants to know where Steve is standing with Catherine... his protective instincts are just awesome regardless of whether you see it as romantic or romantic or whatever.
But I am intrigued as to why he's so happy at the idea of Steve proposing. Is this forced cheer? Does he really think she's gonna say yes? Can he not imagine someone not saying yes to Steve? Is he just happy that either way Steve will have an answer?
Danny spilling the beans to the team... okay, that seems ooc for him. Danny are you trying to sabotage? Are you unable to cope with your own feelings? What is going on?
(He's also assuming that of course she'll say yes to Steve despite the fact that before Steve mentioned proposing he was worried she was gonna run off and break his heart again)
Kono is bamf. As always.
Not Adam!
Really had wanted Kono to put a bullet in Gabriel but I guess they need a villain for a season...
I’ve always interpreted Danny’s reaction to Steve’s news as another example of how Danny really tries to be selfless when it comes to people he loves. If Steve is happy, then Danny will force himself to be happy too. But Danny isn’t happy because he’s a detective—and his gut tells him Catherine is going to hurt Steve.
And when Danny is worried, he overshares. Like telling the team Steve is getting married. The team’s reactions when Danny spills the beans are telling. Compare that scene to the scene where Chin announces he is getting married. The team congratulates Steve, but there is none of the laughter and teasing that we see with Chin’s announcement. Steve’s expression is also telling. Thats not the expression of a man who wants to spend the rest of his life with Catherine.
Yes, I think Steve is in love with Danny, and doesnt know how to throw off years of trauma and DADT. But I also think we need to talk about the fact that Catherine is happiest when she is doing her job. She was miserable when she left the military and she pratically ran back to her old life as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
Thats what really bothers me about Peter Lenkov constantly shoving Steve and Catherine into traditional roles. Being casual friends with benefits is perfectly valid for two consenting adults. Being bisexual is perfectly valid for a soldier and/or a cop. Being happily married to your job instead of to a man is perfectly valid for a woman. Diversity is good—Peter Lenkov is a troglodyte🙄
the thing that gets me about nate ford is that even when he's a criminal mastermind, there's still that kid inside him who went to seminary to be a priest and wanted to help people, but also when he was a kid in seminary there was definitely a freaky part of him that fantasized about being god's sword on earth or whatever. he cares so much! he wouldn't be doing *gestures vaguely* all this if he didn't. he just can't always see past his own desire for (self-)punishment and the idea that there's moral virtue in suffering. he's a control freak who needs god to give him permission to do anything, but also it's okay if he does it and feels really bad about it. yes he's a criminal and he hates criminals and also himself and yes he thinks he's better than everyone else. no i would not want to be his friend. yes i could watch him wear a stupid hat and be weird and manipulate/uplift/drain/support/love in his own way the rest of the team on my tv forever.
tumblr is, if anything, the Appalachia of social media...easy to get lost, sparsely populated, out of the loop with fast-moving modern trends. Attached to tradition. Close-knit communities. Believe in "talk shit, get hit." Everyone is doing their own thing in their own obscure little holler. Prone to pulling the most inventive turns of phrase you've ever heard out of nowhere. Somebody's always starting a racket. We sometimes repel outsiders with much aggression. Lots of talk about hell and damnation to be found. Everybody tends to forget about us for some reason
Going to see children and adolescents dance badly, play ball badly, sing badly, play recorder badly because they are young: YES! YOU ARE LEARNING! INCREDIBLE!
People are so rude about going to watch the children in their lives do stuff shittily. “Ugh toddler dance recital,” “ugh tee-ball weekend again,” “ugh nativity play.”
That guy learned what skipping is this year and now he’s playing the piano the worst I’ve ever seen but the best he’s ever done! AREN’T YOU CAPTIVATED BY THEIR ABILITY TO DO A LITTLE BIT WHEN PREVIOUSLY THEY COULD DO NOTHING? Be filled with wonder and joy!
