I am unfortunately just like other guys. I like trashy horror, dog poems, cannibalism as a metaphor for obsessive devotion, religious imagery, people who use my name in a sentence, academic validation, lying for fun, being bisexual and bleeding out in the snow.

[anxious, concerned] im so fucked. theres so many things about me my friends would hate if they found out about. if anyone knew who i really am id be completely and torally despised [thinks a little harder] But thats fine. Everyone is like this. Its normal actually. Everyone is secretly evil but its not a big deal. Its like chill.

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

summary: Bruce

summary: "Bruce Banner"

summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

This page is so beautiful and honestly I hope it reaches and helps any new people that are just starting out on Ao3 because it's helping me and I’ve been using the site for 5+ years now

I DO think tumblr's dev team has been instructed to constantly implement new features and that's why they keep tweaking the UI in goofy ways. I imagine this is an upper management thing, so even if we say "well don't change anything and just maintain the status quo" they'll continue to make other changes anyway.

I will admit I REALLY like the recent improvements they've added to tumblr's search (you can exclude terms now!! you can search multiple tags!! and time frames!!) so it's not like they're incapable of adding useful features. it might be mutually beneficial for us as users if we were more vocal about things we want and don't want. Some features I'd like to see added:

spoilerable text

spoilerable images

the return of hover text!! remember when we had that?

ability to embed videos in reblogs

ANIMATED GIF ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ability to turn off other people's animated gif icons

the ability to filter original posts on a user's ENTIRE blog, not just a tag/search

more html support, like what if we could build tables

adding reactions to replies! I'm glad we can like them more but it'd be nice if we could take this further

embeddable tiktoks?? I don't even use tiktok but I remember trying to embed one in like 2020 and I'm surprised we still can't! even vines were able to be embedded

being able to search in your DMs. not being able to do this is why I tend to redirect mutuals to discord

MUTING USERS POSTS/COMMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKING THEM! just cause I don't want to see someone's posts doesn't mean I don't want us to never interact ever

a mutual-only dashboard feed

a feed for the blogs you're subscribed to

get rid of tumblr tv lmao I've literally never used it

"mark as read" button for communities without opening them

please dear god no AI shit unless it's a way for me to filter/block it easier

several of these I've submitted support tickets for under "feedback", and if there's anything you feel strongly about I suggest you do too!

[ominous-signs]

Bring back the ability to click prev tags/reblogs (especially useful to check back chains of “prev prev prev tags” and what not to see exactly what that person said)

Edit: nvm I got told this is a thing you can do! I didn’t realize. However I still agree with the above

[sapphling]

if you make a UI change so bad that you accidentally ddos yourself via support ticket and negative reply activity load is that good

i ❤️ my 37 reblog post

[sapphling]

so what's weird is that the true note count on this seems to be irretrievably concealed from me now. i know this had, like, above 100 reblogs before my mobile browser dash was affected; now here are the notes on 1. the original post and 2. my reblog (the only other comment reblog has no notes when checked).

where did they go? how can they be viewed? where is the shareholder benefit of making people believe that they and all other users are receiving Profoundly Less engagement than in reality? you are very intentionally making your website appear vastly more dead than it is in reality

[flurgehbla]

Did they forreal nuke sapphling for this?
