don't feed the birds

30+ | He/They/She | Autistic I'm a narcoleptic who has an intolerance to caffeine and I think that sums up my life pretty well. Really quite a bit obsessed with Silbek, they're ruining my life ⚡⚔️

[breadcrumbbz]

Intro Post

⚔ The name's Cecil, but a bunch of folks call me Crumbbz

⚔ Genderfluid [Any Pronouns] - Asexual - Autistic - Narcoleptic

⚔ Primarily a writer, occasional cosplayer, and very occasional artist [art tag #Crumbbz Art]. I'm addicted to making themed music playlists, usually for OCs or ships, more recently for my fanfics

⚔ Currently deep in the Twisted Wonderland trenches, but a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts, Elder Scrolls and TTRPGs as well. I'm mostly using this to look at pretty art and ramble on my fics [which I'll tag under #Crumbbz Writes]

⚔ Fun random fact: if seven people died at the right point in history I would currently be the Duke of Atholl and own a castle, but instead I'm just some guy writing boys kissing

Links To Things

⚔ AO3 : I primarily write for Twisted Wonderland, and of that primarily Sebek/Silver, but there's one (1) Dragon Age fic on there from before I got ill so ??? lmao

⚔ Insta : If my photos look good there's a 9 in 10 chance my boyfriend took the photo and told me what to do istg I am not good at posing [cosplay tag on here #Crumbbz Cosplays]

⚔ Spotify : I'll eventually get around to making posts for my fanmixes but they're all here

My page with Bebek from zine. Have added a fantasy castle in the corner as a possible reference to the history book he was reading before bed in the bday card

someone MUST'VE done this before but i couldn't help myself

[zetsho]

i've been holding on to this comic for almost a year and i think it's still the funniest thing i've ever drawn. happy pride 🏳‍🌈

[kradeelav]

i know things are hella grim in the nsfw/kink art circles especially in the last year --

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

there are friends and allies out there helping to build a working parallel infrastructure. keep being vocal, keep supporting these initiatives when it's possible, and keep supporting your nsfw/kink artists. ♥

It's such an amazing feeling when someone picks up on something in your writing that you 100% intended but didn't think people would notice. Like, YES!! My writing properly conveyed the thing it was supposed to!!! You are so awesome for noticing that!!! I am so awesome for writing that!!! I feel so good about my story now!!!!

user scripts for AO3 relationships

If you're someone who wants to be able to find (or avoid) ships while reading on AO3, odds are good that a fan coder out there has created a user script that could help you out.

User scripts are similar to extensions. You add them to your browser to automatically adjust web pages for you. User scripts allow you the opportunity to personalize them, however, which is wonderful for things like AO3 filters.

Here are a few that might be worth a look:

AO3 multishipper saviour - if you want to read about a particular character in a relationship without specifying any other person. The relationships can be specified to be romantic or platonic or both.

AO3: Reorder Ship Tags - Automatically reorders relationship tags on work blurbs so romantic ships (/) always appear before platonic ships (&).

AO3 Relationship/Character Highlighter - highlights the ship/character you’re looking for if they appear in the first two relationship/character tags.

AO3 romantic relationship savior - hides all romantic relationships in sort & filter page that has "/"

AO3 First Relationship Tag Filter - toggle on the script if you're browsing a relationship tag and all the works that don't have that tag as their first tag will be hidden. Works on both romantic (/) and platonic (&) relationships.

AO3 relationship savior - hides works that have too many relationships in them.

AO3 Only Show Primary Pairing - will hide fics that don't have the designated pairing listed first in the tags.

AO3 Only Show Primary Pairing (Auto) - The difference between this and Neeve's script is that it automatically detects the primary pairing, little to no configuration needed.

AO3 Show every pairing except THAT one - Remove relationship tags from script which you do not want to read.

Feel free to add more in the notes!

I needed this. The filtering is a PAIN on AO3, and you can't save it. 😮‍💨

[ao3commentoftheday]

If you want to save your filters, there are two ways to go about it.

If you do the same search/filter every time, just bookmark the results page with your browser. The URL contains all of your filters, so every time to visit that URL, you'll get the pre-filtered, updated results.

If you use the same filters on different searches (e.g. always filter out Character Death in every fandom), then you can use a bookmarklet to run your filters for you. Instructions on how to set it up can be found here.

They taught us in physics that an object in motion stays in motion unless something acts on it and i didn't care at the time but as a writer i think about this constantly. your character cannot just stop. something has to stop them. something external, something internal, something that costs them. a person doesn't change direction for no reason. a story doesn't either. newton was writing craft advice and nobody told him.

hey what. : )

/silly

eheheh it shall be revealed tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ It's not as devastating as the post makes it out to be I won't lie, but my brain just went "hey wouldn't this be fun", and it hurt me, so I was like "I'm not dealing with this alone it's going in the chapter now" ahaha

Honestly it's a little trope-y but tropes are there for a reason, so if it lands well I'll be happy with the scene, but it might not land for others. Thems the risks ig 😂

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

[thesweetiepienovels]

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.
