here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!

the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better

here’s some examples:

those ao3 “kudos” emails where someone has gone through and read pretty much all of your stories, one after the other: blessings upon you and your household

[xcziel]

don’t authors find that weird though? i don’t do that, just because i always figured it might seem stalkery, going story by story through people’s older work (which of course i do ~all the time~ because awesome fic is addictive) if people are happy to have the kudos, i will totally start leaving them as i read

[bewaretheides315]

I mean, I can only speak for myself here, but no, I don’t find it creepy. Someone I’ve never met going through my old instagram selfies and systematically liking them - creepy. Someone I’ve never met obsessively reading my old fics and liking them - my favorite person of the day. Just MHO. 

[tygermama]

seeing the same person’s name on a string of kudos for your fics because they’ve obviously read through your back catalogue is one of life’s great joys

[hedwig-dordt]

xcziel, there’s nothing I like more as a writer than someone who is obviously reading everything.

Well, maybe comments. Yes, on old fic too. 

[anglofile]

I once (back on lj) had someone comment on every single chapter of a fic I wrote in one evening. It was the most thrilling night of my fanfic career. I didn’t feel creepy in the least.

[siawrites]

COMMENT.  I don’t care how old it is or how many chapters a reader comments on.

The only thing that might possibly be more flattering is the “I stayed up all night because I couldn’t stop reading” comment.

[thesecondsealwrites-deactivated]

[ferlocke]

Yes, please.

[brendaonao3]

YES ALL OF THIS

[thebestpersonherelovesbucky]

all of this

[pheuthe]

Reblogging because readers somehow still have this idea that too many comments/kudos are seen as creepy or stalkery. IT’S NOT. Seriously. Every comment, all of the kudos, they’re greatly, GREATLY appreciated. And knowing that someone liked your work enough to click on your name and go through your other fics and liked those too, even the old stuff you’re kind of self-conscious about, is the greatest feeling a writer can have. So if you like a fic, say something/leave kudos, no matter if it’s the first or fifth fanfic you’ve read in one night from that author.

[solarcat]

I LOVE when I get an email where it’s the same name, like a dozen or more times because they went through and read like, /everything I ever wrote/ apparently. It makes me so happy! :D

[ionaonie]

Multiple kudos and/or lots of comments are the best thing ever

[peoriarhetoriapeoria]

Not at all creepy. It’s like, they are reading, get to the end, said they liked it, and Prove they liked it because they read another and liked that…

And yes, it’s just as fun to see this with old stories. Maybe even more?

[kellifer-k]

The other thing that is super nice? When someone comments and says, hey, I tried to kudos but I had already kudos’d so I’m commenting to kudos again because I do that ALL THE TIME. I either forgot I’d read this lovely thing and want to kudos again, or I’m doing a re-read of something and I *want* to kudos again. When it happens to me it’s seriously lovely - someone enjoying your stuff enough that they re-read.

[dollypopup]

I LOVE EVERY LAST PERSON WHO INTERACTS WITH MY FICS

[porch-gremlin]

i comment my thoughts, often just my overwhelming emotions, after every chapter so the author knows im enjoying the story, sometimes i even ask them to break the chapter up into more chapters because i have so much to say but not much memory to keep track of it all

[aleatoryw]

people mistake ao3 for a social media site, but really it’s much more like a library. you still check out books from the library even though they were released years or decades ago yes? similarly you can and should interact with fics from 2011 normally, including leaving kudos and comments to your heart’s content

[aswiftfooted]

Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979).

[ayellowbirds]

The story goes that John Cleese used to teach Latin, and drew upon that experience for this scene—leading to many of his former students howling with laughter in theaters.

On another note, i want to see this scene redone with other fandoms.

[solarbird]

this is every Latin teacher ever including mine

[fozmeadows]

I love this scene with my whole heart forever and also the locative is a fucking BULLSHIT case that exists for literally TWO WORDS, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

[falyros]

A thought that arises from the idea of tiefling babies often ending up being abandoned: A rich tiefling adventurer retiring and starting up a tiefling orphanage that takes care of rejected tiefling babies and children.

[obsoletesystem]

A thought that arises from the idea of a tiefling orphanage: the rich tiefling adventurer regretting his initiative of filling a mansion with dozens of little devils that all can cast Thaumaturgy. At will.

[falyros]

Oh Boy. :’D

Personally I headcanon that tiefling magic starts to manifest around puberty, but if that wasn’t the case, they’d just have to suck it up and tiefling baby-proof the hell out of the place. B) Have no vases and stuff that might fall over and break during tremors. Have sturdy furniture. Lock doors and windows. Avoid having open flames around. Shove cotton or something into your ears.

Oh yeah, and some of the babies might in that case be able to cast friends, minor illusion, ray of frost, or mage hand. Could result in chaos…

[obsoletesystem]

My next one shot is definitely going to be “A party of tiefling babies escape from the orphanage (to go to the candy shop)”

[falyros]

[starlinedsword-deactivated20240]

sorry to hijack this post but i’ve been drinking coffee and had ideas for how to actually bring this to life so:

BABY TIEF HEIST ONESHOT

PLAYER RULES

You are all tiefling toddlers, each pick a different subrace

All your stats are 10, then apply your racial boosts.

you have 4 hp (5 if you have the con boost) if you reach zero, you are unconscious. 

Your only abilities are your racial traits.

You have broken out of the orphanage with no money, and seek a treasure trove of candy from the store. 

How you retrieve this candy, without being apprehended, is up to you.

DM RULES

Any environmental or effect that could potentially hurt a toddler will only deal 1 hp of damage.

The candy store functions as a dungeon:

the shopkeep is a final boss (objectively has 5 hp if they go the combat route, however, this would only cause him to fall unconcious— there will be no toddler murder.)

other patrons are to be befriended or avoided. 

Any creature that is not considered Charmed by the toddlers, whether by magic or exceptional persuasion checks and baby tief cuteness, will report any thievery they see.

Environmental hazards can include

gumballs on the floor

getting distracted by a cute kitty or dog

the candy is on the top shelf!!! just out of reach!

To reach your goal:

you must steal a pound of candy for each player character. you may also steal excess to aid you in your heist just be careful how much you use.

Candy

Lollipops: if you consume a lollipop you can regain 2 hp. (5 lollipops = pound, you may grab 3 at once)

Gumballs: gumballs can be spilled on the floor, functioning like a bag of ball bearings. (20 gumballs = a pound, using gumballs wastes half a pound, you may grab 5 gumballs at once) 

Chocolate: Invokes Sugar Rush. (2 chocolate = a pound, you may grab 1 at once, 1 chocolate = one sugar rush)

Sugar Rush gives you advantage on all strength and dexterity checks for five minutes (since initiative hopefully will not be a factor, if it is invoked in a combat situation, the duration is 1 minute), however after, you must make a DC: 15 con save to avoid falling asleep for a post-sugar nap. 

You may design your candy store as you will for maximum chaos

roll a d10 + 1 for the number of potential patrons within.

those are just a few small things i thought of for how to run this oneshot for maximum cuteness, creativity and chaos!

I don’t think people give Flash enough credit.

[kumasenpai]

…………….my goodness

[livid-righteousness-badgers]

He didn’t just rebuild an apartment building.

HE FUCKING LEARNED HOW TO BUILD AN APARTMENT BUILDING. HE DID FUCKING RESEARCH. IT TAKES SEVERAL GODDAMN YEARS TO LEARN ALL THE ENGINEERING AND LEGAL CONSTRAINTS OF BUILDING A FUCKING BUILDING AND JUST DID IT.

This is one of my favorite flash comics. It really highlights how the flash doesn’t just run really fast, but can do absolutely astounding things. I remember reading this for the first time and having my head explode. 

Flash rules.

[therighthandofdoomcpn]

Flash is actually really freaking awesome.

youtubers to watch if u are interested in sewing!

withwendy for step by step projects and beautifully made garments, she has a whole series on how to set up a sewing machine and “how to clone your clothes” and make clothes from other clothing you have

kenandrewdaily for unique men’s design and complex structural concepts. ken makes stuff from SCRATCH and will go in depth on how he builds a garment. he also shows you how to make stuff for cheap!

madebyaya if you want to learn how to make the most beautiful garments slowly and understand how a garment is built. in my opinion she has some of the most difficult to find methods displayed on her channel, like working with chiffon and making balloon sleeves, structured wraps, even hats. she has a bunch of videos where she makes clothing out of men’s shirts

annika victoria for BEGINNER stuff, understanding structure and how to build a garment. she will teach you about methods and language, like “ruching, lettuce hem, serging, bias tape, foldover elastic”

birabelle anytime i want to make thottie clothes & remake an already existing piece, not make stuff from scratch 👀 she shows you how to upcycle that top from forever 21 into a really cute new garment, or how to make your jeans fit better

Fun fact, this is actually part of a larger series on the most practical medieval weapons for fantasy species.

And it’s legit good too, given the dude who does ‘em also studies these kinds of things for a living!

[waluwadjet2-deactivated20180727]

this series looks super interesting and entertaining and im gonna check it out but goddam if this isnt the funniest name for a video ive ever seen

[azzandra]

I love youtube precisely because it gives ordinary people the outlet for talking about their well-researched opinions on very weird and specific subjects that you would not hear about otherwise.

Don’t scroll past this. Kylie Armstrong was diagnosed with breast cancer and these small dimples were the only signs. She posted the image on Facebook so everyone knows that “that breast cancer is not always a detectable lump.” Here’s how Kylie is doing today.

Some rando: You should think about stopping your prescription

Me: My pills make me not want to die tho

They: You shouldn’t want to die, that’s not normal

Me: Yeah that’s why I’m taking my pills

[teaboot]

Again: But you aren’t the *real* you when you’re on your pills

Me: I’m the alive version of me

[teaboot]

An actual doctor, once: “Relying On A Chemical Crutch For A Hormonal Imbalance Denies The Fortitude Of The Human Soul”

Me: Cool so like I’m agnostic

[inner-muse]

They: “But you might be on pills the rest of your life!”

Me: “So?”

[illnessisnteasy]

Good! That means that I have a “rest of” my life to continue living!

Thanks to the pills.
