sorry to everyone out there who thinks they have the funniest tshirt but i think i can confidently say i just saw the actual funniest tshirt just now. i passed by a beautiful black woman with long multicolor braids blowing majestically in the beach breeze & she was wearing an oversized tshirt that said in gigantic letters "WHITE BOY OF THE YEAR"

[brabriefs-remaking-deactivated2]

i am super duper appreciative of ao3 and the shit they have to put up with for us assholes

but i’d really like to request a function where you can say ‘ok i want this pairing at this rating with this tag bUT I DONT WANNA SEE THIS VERY PARTICULAR TAG AND THIS VERY PARTICULAR TAG MIGHT BE DESTIEL’

[wrangletangle]

This function exists! The links below all describe the same basic task (removing a tag from your search results), based on different goals or comfort levels with AO3. If you know AO3 really well, try the first 3 sets of links. If not so well, try the last 3. (Dizmo’s has pictures so is possibly easiest.)

Good luck, and drop me an ask if you get stuck!

The Search Within Results Field and You, Part 1 The Search Within Results Field and You, Part 2 The Search Within Results Field and You, Round Up

Jan’s 7-Step Tutorial on how to filter out Characters and/or Relationships on AO3

Dizmo’s simplified explanation (with pictures)

[ao3org]

Convenient round-up!

(Note that the first link contains some other nifty things you can do with the filters, like showing only one-shots, or works above a certain word count, or only your private bookmarks. \o/)

[garden-of-succulents]

I super recommend that once you find the perfect search string for you, you bookmark that search page. Then in the future you can go to that bookmark and re-run the search again, and see the new fics that have showed up without the stuff you don’t want.

Props to AO3 for caring about the fans with abuse-related triggers that often get mocked and/or ignored because it gets in the way of a fanbase’s aesthetic.

[drst]

as someone who works with metadata and databases every day, I gotta say, AO3′s functionality is the shit. I wish my work databases were this easy to work with.

Praying that $1500 randomly comes to you when you need it the most this year.

[jehovahhthickness]

Okay inflation is crazy.

We bumping up the price to $15,000 for 2026.

You know the part in Pride and Prejudice where Mr Darcy says "I'm in no mood to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men"? In other words, he means "I don't want to dance with a girl just because no one else will." (There was a shortage of men at the time because War, so this was a real problem.)

That reflects a bigger part of Darcy's character that I've not seen pointed out much. He's rich and handsome. All the ladies want to marry him because he's rich. He's a Hot Commodity. Problem is, he doesn't want to be a Hot Commodity. He wants to be Liked for his own sake.

Just as he doesn't want to marry a girl who needs him for his wealth, he doesn't want to dance with a girl just because she needs a partner. He wants someone to care for him personally.

Then here comes Lizzy who basically says "I don't care how rich and handsome you are, I want someone who respects me and who I can honestly admire, and even when you dance with me I'd rather psychoanalyze you than engage in pointless flirtation, because I want to know your real self."

No wonder bro fell so hard.

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

[pangur-and-grim]

[pangur-and-grim]

I face-timed to ask if he waved, and he (again, very calmly and politely) explained that while yes, he did wave, they were already above the clouds and thus it would have been impossible for me to see. I decided not to press the matter bc it was honestly really cute that he'd actually waved

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

Reblogging for

“Is the writing bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot”

I feel like that should be the canned response to anyone who complains in your fic’s AO3 comments about the [thing] when the [thing] is clearly tagged.

[cykelops]

chatgpt is a threat to the symbiotic relationship between fanfic writers and their betas. we are losing our traditions. eradicate the soulless machine and ask your friend who has a full time job and 3 kids to annotate your omegaverse fanfiction like any other responsible adult.

[VD: A TikTok titled "My 10 favorite (inexpensive) holiday gift ideas for the blind & visually impaired." The first clip shows a person pointing up at the title as they voice-over: "These are my ten most favourite gifts for the blind and visually impaired".

The following items are demonstrated in the video and described in the voice-over:

1. Assorted bump dots - Various kinds of stickers with protruding dots on them that can be put onto appliances to make them more tactile.

2. Pocket money brailler - A device that allows you to imprint braille onto paper notes, indicating their value.

3. Liquid level indicator - A device hung on the edge of a container with metal prongs that detect when liquid has reached it.

4. Braille Pop-It - A pop-it with the alphabet in braille on each bubble.

5. Tactile Rubik's cube - A rubik's cube with unique textures for each color.

6. Braille color clothing tags - Tags with braille to indicate what colour a piece of clothing is.

7. Signature guide - A card with a rectangular slit in it to guide the user when writing their signature.

8. Low vision playing cards - Cards with very large and colorful numbers on them.

9. Pop-A-Cell - A plastic card with 6 bubbles you can indent to practice braille characters.

10. Talking keychain clock - A clock that says the time aloud when you press a button.

End VD.]
