my favorite era in history is the one where people discovered you could make cartoons out of typography and newspapers would run articles that were just like “today dennis the intern figured out how to draw a dog with the typewriter so here it is”

obsessed with the era of historical fashion between the 1860s and 1870s where aniline dyes kept being invented. you can find some absolute fucking eyesores of dresses that were only made that way because “acid magenta” was invented last month and it was trendy.

like this iconic gown:

or this one from the 1870s in aniline purple and aniline black:

or a trendy yellow and black gown from c. 1865, perhaps?

feel free to reblog with additional eyesores (affectionate) that i might have missed

At the time I made this post I couldn’t find any historical clothing in acid magenta. However, this dress (via the Philadelphia Museum of Art) is probably close, as it’s also an aniline magenta.

[vrumblr]

I literally went to find this dress specifically to post it, damn it!

since I've seen it talked about in several places recently:

if you are going to do a whump- or kink- or ANY-tober or other similar challenges please please please don't post them as one fic with 31 chapters unless it actually is one coherent fic. if they're 31 completely separate fics or ficlets then please just make a collection for them or just post them as separate fics. it doesn't matter if they're only 100 words or if you think they're too small or insignificant to post alone, they're not.

and why this?

because if you post all 31 of them in one fic the tagging is absolutely useless. if I look for things to read on ao3 I'm gonna look at the tags, and if the tags include something that's a dealbreaker for me, i won't even click on the fic. I might not even SEE the fic because I've filtered out the nope-tag! so I'm gonna lose out on reading 30 perfectly nice fics because of one fic that my nope-tag applied to.

ao3 is about archiving. it's about clear tagging and being informative. there is nothing informative about it if the tags in the fic apply to random chapters while others have nothing to do with it. it makes so much more sense to have each work as an individual fic with its own individual tags and warnings, so readers can make informed choices.

of course, you do you. I can't police what other people decide to do. but personally, I find it incredibly frustrating to weed through 31 chapters to find the ones I actually want to read. so I don't. I automatically scroll past all works posted like that. and I know some others do, too.

there is absolutely no shame in posting short things on ao3. there is no minimum word count. no one is going to look at you funny if you post a small ficlet on its own, I promise. it's just going to make some readers very happy when they can actually find the things they want to read.

so, please. at least consider the upsides of posting each work as their own fic.

signed, one very frustrated fandom grandma.

This is what the Series connector is for! Let your fics breathe, even if they are only drabbles

[naryrising]

It also wrecks the ability to sort/filter by word count. If someone is looking for a story that is at least 10,000 words, that means they want a story that's at least 10,000 words, not 20 stories that are each 500 words. And me, as someone who likes short stories and often particularly seeks them out, won't see yours if I'm filtering for works that are 5k or less, for example. I am your target audience, and you're making it harder for me to find you!

if you're in your mid twenties and you're reading this you still have plenty of time to inadvertently topple a dynasty just by being really fucking weird and horny. don't worry.

Gotta be the worst way I have ever seen to advertise/demo a lipstick

[moody-mod]

I keep seeing the same thing except it’s a teddy bear made of this shit, but there’s no cover. It’s just raw lipstick you put on your key chain. Worst product I think I’ve ever seen

[callmebliss]

That sounds horrifying. Please show me?

[moody-mod]

Found out the head actually screws off but you can see why I would think it’s just raw lipstick.

[catmask]

crazy thang is whenever someone makes a post talkng about how xyz thing annoys them someone will always go 'oh so we're not even allowed to do [thing] anymore??' like no you literally can. that person just will not like you. if that is enough to stop you then its not that youre not allowed its that you are not capable of existing outside of the approval of others

[catmask]

why are you asking for permission. begging? are you a dog or a man

[catmask]

there it is

K my hot take of the century is the widespread mockery of 11-year-old girls’ original stories and works of fanfiction is just misogyny. Because I’m sick to death of seeing boys that age get called geniuses for using software that helps them write simple programs (when programming really isn’t that hard) while girls are called cringe and made fun of for writing tens of thousands of words worth of content at the age of ten and no one thinks it’s special.
