Brown-eyed Bruce Wayne for the win ♡♡♡
whenever you complain that a celebrity who has not disclosed their sexuality is ‘performing queerness’ for clout or as a marketing tactic or whatever
what you’re saying is ‘you’re only allowed to act faggy if you are willing to come out as queer. if you’re straight, or closeted, or unlabelled, or questioning, or you simply wish to keep that private, you need to start acting in an acceptably heterosexual way right now’
which is not very cool or sexy imo but you do you

Hello! Hope you're doing well! I'm working on my first fanfic and am a little dumb when it comes to coding. I've always seen this thing in my favorite fics where in the beginning notes they link it to the end notes for more info. An example would be something like "This is the basic info you need to know for this chapter but more can be found in the End Notes!" and End Notes would be hyperlinked. Do you think you can explain to me how to do this? Thank you so much!
I have fantastic news for you! You don't actually have to code anything at all. That notes feature is built into AO3!
Below the box where you type in your Summary, there are two check boxes.
If you click or tap on the first box to tick it off, a new text box will open up. That's where you can type in an author's note that appears at the top of the fic.
If you tick the second box, a text box will appear where you can type in an author's note that appears at the end of the fic. The link will appear on your work automatically because that's how AO3 designed the end note feature.
Since this is your first time posting, I'll add one more valuable piece of information. If your work is set to only 1 chapter (you haven't indicated that you'll be adding more chapters later), then the note will appear at the end of the entire fic - even if you add more chapters later. *
To fix that issue, just check off the box that indicates you're posting a multichap and save as a draft. Then edit the work to add in your end note for chapter one.
You can find the multichap check box just above where you choose your language.
* This was a known issue at one point and it might already be fixed. I haven't posted an end note on a multichap in a while but this was how I worked around it before.
Congratulations on writing and posting your first fic! 🎉
I'll add that if you don't want to put additional info for the fic/chapter in the end notes (maybe the chapter ends on a cliffhanger or a banger of a line and you don't want to risk a reader accidentally seeing it while reading end notes) and would prefer to have it in the beginning notes in a way that won't spoiler/upset people who don't want, there's a way to do that!
In the beginning notes, type <details>. Everything that comes after this and before the details end tag (</details>) will be hidden behind a dropdown, which will be represented by a little triangle upon publishing. A reader clicks (or taps on mobile) the little triangle, and the information is revealed. It'll look like this:
When the triangle is clicked, it will go from pointing at "Details" to pointing downwards, and the content hidden inside the details will unfold under "Details."
If you'd like to give specifics about what's inside the details tag, you can do that using the summary tag. Right after <details>, type <summary>. Write whatever description you want (HTML tags like bold, italics, etc. can be used here), end the description with </summary>, then proceed to write the information you want in the details tag. Now, when the chapter/fic is published, your summary will replace "Details" next to the triangle. Here's an example from one of my own works, where I've used bold, small, and italic HTML tags to further format my summary:
In practice, the backend of HTML in the beginning notes looks like this:
<details><summary><strong>Regarding the "Additional Warnings In Author's Note" Tag</strong> <small><em>(contains some spoilers for the story)</em></small></summary> [additional warnings]</details>
For more information about the details tag and to play around with it some outside of AO3, I recommend checking out the W3 Schools page on the tag.
You can also use the details tag (and accompanying summary tag) in the summary of a work or series, as well as the Notes section on a summary. Or in comments. On info pages for Collections. In your AO3 profile. The sky's the limit!*
* The sky is not in fact the limit. Pretty sure this won't work in the title field of a work, and it definitely won't work in any of the tag fields.
i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds
I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study
after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
et voila
and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
and now, the birds
Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus
Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius
hoo boy, ok *out of breath*
GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!
this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render
speaking of obnoxious coverts:
bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata
the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it
Madam....
birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female
pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr
*melts into goo*
BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus
genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??
nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
in other news, I am losing my mind hairline
SHE'S DONE!!
Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis
my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on
this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏
*does a little jig*
BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos
the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise
ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!
Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹
aaaand another one bites the duck,
we're movin right along with bird numero 11!! The lady Mallard!! Anas platyrhyncos
the 16th is looming in the distance so i'm trying to get thru these as quickly as i can so i can have as much time for the GBH as possible. i still need to do the names next to all of them so i've got about a week and a half to finish everything which is GREAT because i have adhd and nothing gets my ass in gear like a fuckin deadline, let me tell you
power couple that they are, here's bird number 12 and 13,
the Northern Cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis
and NOW that they are complete, ITS GO TIME, in the next five days (library's closed for mother's day 😭😭) i need to have the GBH fully rendered, the names of the birds vectored, weeded, masked, applied to the wall, and then painted, plus additional cattails throughout. I may be able to get away with just getting the GBH done in time for the unveiling and then just have the names and cattails added later, but i'm gonna really try to get it all done in time. BUT, i have a plan. Part of why i take so long on these is because i really am just figuring it out as I do it lmao. there have been many a time where i am sitting on top of the ladder googling "how to paint birds" but I think if i take the time tomorro to do all that figuring out how to approach it beforehand, this will go a lot faster. I may also recruit some of my artist friends to help with the placing of the names... hrmm we'll see.
Anyways, shout out to the librarian who tracked down exactly the thing i needed so i could figure out where to place the highlights in my birds eyes, ur the real mvp
thanks for the reminder, kid
at long last, we've reached the end...
Bird number 14 out of 14,
The Great blue heron, Ardea herodius
thank you to everyone who reached out or got excited about this project, it genuinely gave me the fuel i needed to keep going. In total, the 480+ total hrs it took me to cover this wall pales in comparison to how long its expected to spend on there, hopefully imparting a sense of beauty and love for the natural world to the next generation and here's hoping i'm only getting started with these.
i'll see y'all soon :')
As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.
Little cover design doodle from like a week ago that I never posted :') more to come. Maybe. Eventually. We'll see.

Something about the sun and moon or night and day or whatever
have you seen the lord of the rings movies? the practical effects look great, but there's also an amazing digital serkis
Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you're currently wearing.
very soon the entirety of the tumblr dashboard will be consumed by insane people being insufferable over AMC's interview with the vampire. fortunately i am one of those insane people
