goodnight beloved~

[cheap-tea-addict]

Just wanted to say this is one of my fav fanarts of all time

[parakeet]

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

[volfoss]

[ID: A section of the Tumblr settings, where under the replies heading, there is a toggle that is turned on that reads "Share your comments" with the description "Make comments created by this blog visible in the blog page, and to the followers, in their feeds". /end ID]

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

[blankspace17]

seen a lot of these with your favorites, but reblog with the CURRENT book you are reading, show you are streaming, the last movie you watched, and any game/puzzle/crafts you’re working on 

[actual-changeling]

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

Edit: Yes, this also works on mobile!

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

Inside every writer there is a Tolkien and a C.S.Lewis.

The Tolkien demands everything be explained, that every decision has a purpose, that everything makes sense, that all plot holes are filled, etc.

The C.S. Lewis says, “Fuck you, I do what I want.”

Au where Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu are the transmigrated Da-ge and Er-ge of Shen Yuan

The anger is still there, the past is still there, but they have a common ground: Still mourning Shen Yuan

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan transmigrates later. He meets Luo Binghe on the streets and goes to Cang Qiong with him.

Shen Qingqiu sees him and his heart aches, so he snatches him up immediately. Not as a replacement. No. To knock him down for daring to look like Shen Yuan.

The tea ceremony goes... Bad. Very bad. He says his name and he gets tea dumped on his head and kicked out of the bamboo house.

But then Yue Qingyuan comes to visit him and he sees Shen Yuan. His heart aches as well, and he asks him to walk him to his Shizun's house.

He notices the similarities first. The way he talks when Yue Qingyuan brings up a subject that would have interested Shen Yuan, the way he moves his hands, how he looks like he wishes he coule bury his face in his hands and hide away wben he realizes he's been rambling.

"Xiao-Jiu, your new disciple-"

"What about him, Zhangmen-shixiong." Shen Qingqiu snaps and glances out the window where he sees Shen Yuan chittering with Luo Binghe and Ning Yingying.

"... You wanted him because he looks like... Him. I know. But Xiao-Jiu, he... I think there's a chance that..."

"A chance that WHAT. Use your words."

"I think that might... Be A-Yuan. He talks the same... I asked him some questions on the way, please shidi. Don't be unreasonable about this." He's so scared that Shen Qingqiu might hurt him and realize, and then regret it himself.

"Tch. You see him in everyone."

"I see very little of him in anyone in this world. He was one of a kind." Yue Qingyuan sighs. "Besides... I overheard him mutter that I reminded him of his Da-ge..."

"... Zhangmen-shixiong. I will not trust your words on this. But fine. I will not do anything the boy for now." He spits, angry that he could even suggest it and get his hopes up.

So Shen Qingqiu observes him. And he sees as well. So eventually he calls him to the bamboo house.

"Disciple Shen, this master has a question for you after observing you for a while."

"Y-Yes Shizun?"

"Do you recognize the saying 'You can you up, no can no bb'."

"... I- I do."

"Mn. And what of the phrase "PeerlessCucumber." He raises a brow

Shen Yuan does not want to answer that, but he nods a bit. "I um.. I do-"

"... And you were... Shen Yuan there too?"

"Yes Shizun."

"... San-di.." He whispers, breath hitching slightly in a moment of weakness.

"... San- San-di...?"

"... I'm calling for Zhangmen-shixiong."

"Wait Shizun why- What for-!"

LiuShen Memory Loss AU

Liu Qingge loses his memories of Shen Yuan. He only knows how Shen Jiu was and anything about a friendship, or a marriage with SQQ is gone. He doesn't even remember being saved by Shen Yuan.

He wakes up, all disoriented and having his least liked peak lord up in his space eyes shining and mother henning, he is confused to say the least.

When MQF comes in listing some medical jargon about his condition and then Liu Mingyan shows up all worried, QQQ following right behind her precious desciple. And then the Sect Leader shows up too. He feels a little overwhelmed. And suddenly SQQ is there, kicking everyone (himself included) but MQF out and yelling about LQG being uncomfortable, he just woke up ffs. Only Mingyan is entitled to be anywhere near right now.

And LQG is surprised because?? First why was SQQ there at all? And how was he the one to notice LQG's mood first? And why was he trying to help??

MQF explains everything with less medical jargon and tells him he has amnesia and it can only get better with time and being surrounded by the things and people who featured most in LQG's lost memories.

He gets allotted time with everyone he's gotten close to the past couple of years. And that includes SQQ.

(Binghe is fine-no abyss-if a little overprotective of his newly adoptive dad who is now sad that his husband doesn't remember him.)

So SQQ just sits there wife beaming everyone casually as he does, chatting with Liu Qingge and oh... Oh no. What are those? Feelings? For Shen Qingqiu?? No. LQG must be sick. Yes that's it.

(He unironically goes to MQF to ask. He's fine.)

LQG bursts into the private room Mingyan had reserved for them and goes:

"Please tell me I have not been engaged or married to anyone in the past three years!?"

LMY spits out her tea because what??

"What? Why are you asking??"

"I... I just need to know."

"Why?"

"I might have romantic feelings for someone..."

"WHAT!? But you're married! Who is it!?!?"

"Married?? To who?"

"WHO DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON!?"

"SHEN QINGQIU OKAY!?"

"..."

"..."

"Well you can't break the marriage off. It's going to cause a political incident (of LBH defending his dad's honor)."

"Damn it..."

"You literally met SQQ the way he is now twice, what made you fall for him so fast? Come, tell your dear sister everything."

And so an adventure begins of LQG trying to figure out who he's married to (no one would tell him), if there's a way to break it off, and wondering how to woo SQQ.

LQG going through the past three years' documentation, angrily muttering under his breath, "Whoever you are, I will fight you if needed, I'm marrying that lazy scholar whatever it takes!"

SQQ sneezes.

"Shizun! Are you okay!? Did that brute make you sick!?? I'll fight him!!"

fanfiction is a rare gem and a solid, living proof that, in a world of tiktok, influencers and content posting, not everything is about money and going viral. art can still be art just for the sake of the artists’ pure love, joy and passion for the art they create. fanfic writers write 100k words and more about the characters they love for free. just because they love these characters and the art of writing so much. art is not dead and the world is still beautiful.

SVSSS AU where the newly named Qing generation succeeding disciples have to go through a ritual/trial together before being allowed to take the role of Peak Lords when the previous generation ascends.

Their teachers attempt to warn them about it but ultimately it looks different for each generation so they can’t say for sure what will happen. There isn’t much information about previous trials, only that it’s supposed to be a blessing from the Heavens to ensure the harmony of the Peaks. Previous generations are not allowed to go into detail about what happens as it is only for the twelve disciples.

The ritual ensures that any weak spots between the future Peak Lords is shored up and that they will be able to withstand any challenge together. Most of them think it’s a little ridiculous, still unsure if anything will even happen. But they go along with it despite some of the more vocal ones - Liu Qingge and Qi Qingqi for example - making snide comments about how it wouldn’t help with their harmony considering that Shen Qingqiu is part of their group. That lasts until the ritual begins, a flash of light blinding them.

When they blink the spots from their eyes, they realize three things in rapid succession. First, they’re nothing more than ghosts in what appears to be a memory. Second, there are only eleven of them.

And third, a very young, very dirty child with familiar green eyes just ran through Liu Qingge shouting for someone called Qi-ge.
