26, They/Them. Just another amateur artist/author! Multifandom! LuminousBlume is my fandom twitter. The Switch Conspiracy is my side blog :3 I go by Xen online!
It’s been a little while since I saw one of these posts making the rounds and when I tried to look one up to share it had broken links, so I figured I’d make a quick one myself because there’s no such thing as getting the word out on this too much!
POSTING FIC TO AO3 AND TUMBLR CAN BE FORMATTING HELL IF YOU’RE TRYING TO DO IT MANUALLY. But the lovely people of AO3 put this AO3 posting script (LINK TO GDOC HERE!) in their ‘Unofficial Browser Tools’ section of their FAQ:
It’s pretty straight-forward. Follow the instructions in the FAQ, which are also numbered at the top of the sample script in the original doc you make the copy of. Once it’s a file copied to your own Google Docs you can open and edit it, pasting in whatever you wish to post to AO3. Then you just click the ‘Post to AO3′ (pictured below) menu, and the ‘ prepare for pasting into the HTML editor’ option under that, and BAM, instant HTML to post on AO3, or even just on Tumblr!
Now if you’re used to using the Rich Text editors make sure you’re switched over to the HTML ones to upload your shiny new HTML versions of your fic!
You can switch back to Rich Text to give it a look-over and make sure everything looks the way it should, or add in anything extra before posting!
I hope this was easy enough to follow! I am, admittedly, not the best at explaining things but an attempt was made. I recently came across a few friends who didn’t know this existed so I figured a friendly reminder might help a few others as well!
Why does “falling in love” have pretty much exclusively romantic connotations it’s such a good phrase. I’ve fallen in love with every single one of my friends
This was such a smart post to make because every day I get to see people declaring their love for their friends in the tags. Such a simple but sweet “restoring faith in humanity” kind of thing. We’re all just little creatures who love our buddies <3
Alright so this post has gotten over 5,000 notes in a month and I think that means the consensus is that everyone loves their friends and you should tell them

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive
