fic by cordsycords

not all my fic, but definitely the stuff I'm most proud of. im currently focused on writing GO fic at the moment.

fallout (tv 2024)

respite // m, 2.7k

the first-written of my barb-coop headcanon fics. set during their fake divorce, barb and coop find a moment to themselves

repose // e, 10.5k

sequel to the above. barb and coop reunite in the wasteland.

good omens

but i still want more // e, 65k

my "quiet and romantic" post-s2 fic. angsty, smutty, with an eventual happy ending.

The Third Fall // t, WIP

or: the one where it's the second coming and jesus has a twitter account. much more in line with the tone of canon, and written as a potential s3. i haven't updated in a while, but i do have a general plan for how i want this fic to go/end. contains many footnotes, and social media tangents which i take way too much joy in writing.

la by night

we can just kiss like real people do // e, 7.3k

the first smut fic written for jeva, and honestly still one of my favourite fics that i've ever written. the rare thing that i've reread over the years, and still return 100% satisfied with what i put down. set in s3 as a bridge between the jeva date and jasper getting kidnapped, depicts how their relationship grows in such a short amount of time

our hungers appeased, our heartbeats becoming slow // t, 1.7k

first jeva fic i ever wrote. post s03e02 cuteness.

and you haven’t moved an inch, such that i would not know // g, 850

sequel to the above fic. more fluffiness.

nothing fucks with my baby // t, 3.2k

eva post jasper-kidnapping. i was really cooking with that s03 angst-train. so many hozier lyrics.

and though they are beautiful // t, 5k

jasper hanahaki angst.

but the flame burned on and on // m, 6.2k

sequel to above fic. it's eva's turn for angst now.

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

it's so funny how the mcu has so closely replicated the comics fan experience of like, "don't worry about like the plots. the things happening are like 90% really stupid, you just have to accept that. the meat is in the character writing. which is unfortunately also bad."

"and in order for half of it to make sense you had to have gotten into it many years ago and kept up with the homework"

"Blorbo is my favorite character! He has 89,324 appearances spanning decades!"

"Great! What do you recommend?"

"One writer in mid-2014 had like, half a plot that was great before it was handed off to someone who hated him and possibly had a vendetta against the art director. But man, a great 2-3 months of real character stuff there."

‘Nuclear Family Month’ is so funny as a concept. I have never seen a nuclear family worth celebrating.

Do Grandmama, Uncle Fester and the rotating cast of possibly existent cousins mean nothing to you? 😔

#call it a nuclear family because it's toxic af

This insane update from Neocities

#just checked my neocities site #seems like it's back up?#unless it's still out in some other region?

postarcadian

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

podcastwizard

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

#work gossip is Peak

Would you recommend good omens the tv show to a friend?

yes

only s1 + s2

only s1

only s2

only the finale

only the book

only to an enemy

haven’t seen it (fully) but yes

haven’t seen it (fully) but no

Remaining time: 6 days 7 hours

#good omens #honestly? no #and not because of the finale #more because I am aware that I enjoy this show for very personal reasons that most people I know wouldn't relate to #50% of those reasons are David Tennant looking sad #and tbh there are much better shows for that

You should take some time to read @3liza's post documenting the Phantom Report Bug (which she deserves praise for doing, thank you eliza) and see how fucking broken Tumblr's report tool is. I also want to reiterate something she is once again correct about: no one files bug reports. I have first hand experience working at Tumblr and I remember having to tell web devs on Staff "i saw a post about someone talking about a bug" and they were unaware because no one followed through to file a bug. I have fixed bugs that I saw people posting about that were in my domain (I'm a mobile dev) but were not in the system. No this is not an endorsement of "complain about it enough and eventually someone will see it", this is an endorsement of "file a bug report directly to computer companies and people will most likely read it and probably fix it". I mean it this is not a Tumblr-only thing. I've seen this at every company I've worked for. Just fucking file a bug report please I beg you, software gets complicated and the devs are just unaware that there's a bug until you bring it to your attention. And they want to fix the bug! I promise!

WHAT AM I ALWAYS SAYING TO YOU PEOPLE. COMPLAINING GETS THE GOODS. YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO GET MAD UNTIL YOUVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO SOMEONE WHOSE JOB IT IS TO FIX IT

Hello, software QA engineer here!

The quality of your bug report can also have a huge impact on how quickly and effectively the bug gets fixed. I have received a lot of user reports that I could not turn into ticket items for the dev team because the report was unclear about either what the problem actually was or how/where the user was experiencing it.

For example, saying "When I reblog a poll, the page crashes" might seem like it clearly describes a bug, but it's actually maddeningly ambiguous. Was this on mobile or desktop? Was it a "reblog now" or a reblog from the editor? If from the editor, did the problem happen when the editor was opening or after you clicked the "Reblog" button and were being returned to the dashboard? By "crash" do you mean the page froze or the app closed itself or a secret third thing?

If we can't identify the problem or reproduce it, then we can't fix it, and your report just gets added to a list of "unconfirmed issues" and filed away. Plus, having an actual dedicated QA person on staff is becoming less common everyday, and I can promise you that the average Developer is not going to put the same amount of effort into researching a bug report as QA would.

So here is my template for how to write a bug report with maximum impact. [I will put explainy commentary in brackets.]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: [Start with your environment and a clear, neutral starting point, then go step by step through every action you take until the point the bug appears. Lists are better than paragraphs here.] - On the mobile app, open the dashboard - Scroll to a post containing a Poll and click to submit a vote on one of the poll options - Click the Reblog icon, and when the selection menu appears, click "Reblog..." - When the editor appears, add tags then click the "Reblog" button CURENT BEHAVIOR: [This is where you describe the fuckery. Please be specific and literal. If you can also attach screenshots, even better.] Nothing happens for several seconds after clicking the Reblog button, then the screen turns grayscale and audio of a guttural voice saying "IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE" followed by screaming plays at full volume. Then the app closes and reopens itself 6 times, at which point I'm returned to the top of the dashboard, and the post was not reblogged. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: [This part gets skipped more often than not, because it feels obvious, but it's actually super helpful in identifying and fixing the problem. A lot of times, bugs will come in for features that have not been worked on in a long time and which probably don't have good reference documents. Describing what should be happening goes a long way in determining the location of the bug in the code base and the scope of the fix, as well as ensuring that the fix ends up being what you actually want instead of a surprise new thing.] After clicking the "Reblog" button, the post should be posted to my blog with the added tags, the editor should close, and I should be returned to the position the Dashboard that I had scrolled to prior to reblogging the post.
