They could never make me hate you, complex female character whose reaction to trauma was not pretty and digestible like how people think it should be.

Just remembered about Stephanie's combo batarangs. Bring them back, nothing better represents her ingenuity. I need her to toss out.... I don't know. Paralysing venom goop rangs.

Batgirl (2009) Issue #20.

The thing is, in order to have a healthy and robust fandom, a piece of media NEEDS to leave some questions unanswered. Some relations unshipped. Some plot holes unfilled. Some backstories unwritten. Some lore unexplained. You need possibilities that will keep people up at night. The beautiful thing about an empty lot in a neighborhood is what people make in it

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.

ohh so scaryyy!!

Guys why is he always running

[mysteriousbeetle]

it's interesting to see when people focus on text in their analysis of comics and neglect to mention the art because art is a crucial aspect of comics. they wouldn't be comics without the art. it is far easier to imagine a comic that is made with art without text that a comic that is text without art. but i really like when comics analysis includes discussion of the art.
