Very amused by Jacob Tierney's character in Slings & Arrows complaining about gratuitous nudity.

I was inspired by the black-out poems made by @playing-with-colors and decided to apply it to the locked tomb series!

Trust & Safety Phishing Comments

Date Posted: July 23, 2026

AO3 has recently seen a wave of comments claiming to be made by the "AO3 Trust & Safety team", notifying you that your account has been restricted. These claims are not true. These comments are not being made by real AO3 volunteers and your account has not been restricted.

AO3 volunteers, including the Policy & Abuse committee, will never communicate with you through comments on your work. All important communications from AO3 will be sent through the email associated with your account. More general announcements will be posted on our official social media accounts or published as news posts on AO3 or OTW.org.

If you receive one of these comments, do not click on any of the links in it, reply to it, or interact with it in any way. The links in these comments lead to sites asking you to verify your identity by providing payment information. This is a common credit card scam. AO3 does not ever ask users to provide payment information, and the Policy & Abuse committee will never comment on your works asking you to "complete an identity verification process".

If you encounter one of these comments or believe your account has been compromised, please view the instructions under the cut!

We suggest that you review your account to verify that you're using a unique and secure password. Check out the advice from our Policy & Abuse committee on Protecting Your AO3 Account and Keeping Your Account Secure.

If you believe your AO3 account has been compromised for any reason (i.e. you received an email that your username changed), you can change or reset your password to ensure control of your account. Changing your password will automatically log you out of all sessions on all devices. You can find the option to change your password in your Preferences.

If you encounter one of these comments on your own work or someone else's, please report them to the Policy & Abuse committee. To do so:

Select the "Thread" button on the scammer's comment. This will take you to the specific comment page.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Policy Questions & Abuse Reports.

In the "Brief summary of Terms of Service violation" field, enter "Spambot".

In the "Description of the content you are reporting" field, enter "This is a spambot, their username is USERNAME."

Reporting in this fashion helps us auto-sort your report so that it can be handled as soon as a Policy & Abuse volunteer is available. To help us address reports about these types of bots as fast as possible, please only submit one report per account, and don't include multiple accounts in the same report.

We also encourage you to share this post and help spread the word about how to protect yourself from scammers and reduce spam on AO3.

If anyone is looking for a unique sci-fi/fantasy book rec, I've been emotionally victimized by Hiron Ennes' The Works of Vermin and want to spread the pain (+love).

I would describe it as:

85% finding your bearings within the insane setting, which is a city called Tiliard that is embedded inside a partially-dead giant tree trunk. There is a rigid and brutal class hierarchy but also astonishing art, as the populace is obsessed with opera and spectacle. Imagine the most baroque and maximalist fever dream and up it by 50x and that would be but a dim approximation of Tiliard and the author's gorgeous writing. Also the bugs. There are innumerable bugs, including silverfish the size of kittens, edible grease beetles, and giant reality-deforming centipedes.

It's an ensemble cast, but we mainly follow Guy Moulène, a pest exterminator who's not very good at his job and up to his neck in debts but desperate to protect his kid sister from the same fate of being contracted, and Aster Vost, a consumptive perfumer (in a world where scents can physically and mentally alter both the wearer and the scenter) contracted to the city's terrifying Marshal (basically the head of the military) who IS very good at her job.

15% getting punched in the throat with emotions once you've gotten your bearings

It's also very queer and even manages to fit in an obsessive M/M relationship straight out of Chinese webnovels! Truly cannot overstate the multitudes that this book contains

there are two wolves inside of me

the one that wants to help people search and filter better by demonstrating how I just realized that the way I was searching was stopping me from finding what I wanted

and the one that does not want to air out my particular interests on a platform of any size 😆

(anyone have a thing they've been trying to find and can't?)

[ao3commentoftheday]

You know what? fuck it.

So I was searching for "Jane Foster size queen" at first. But then I realized that putting both the character and the descriptor in the same tag wouldn't work.

In order for that to exist as a single tag, it would need to be a popular enough idea in the MCU fandom for at least three different authors to have used it. And with a fandom the size of the MCU, it's probably closer to 5 or 10.

So then I tried using the search form to find the character Jane Foster along with the additional tag size queen. But that returned zero results, and I realized that size queen isn't a canonical tag, so I was asking AO3 to find Jane Foster fics with the tag "size queen" instead of the concept.

So then I went to the tag search and looked up size queen and checked off the wrangling status as "canonical or synonymous" and that gave me 627 synonyms for the concept I was looking for and the first four results included a character name, but the fifth one was just "also he's a size queen" so I clicked on that and I found out that the canonical tag I could use to find fics with that concept was size kink

so I went back to the search form and looked up character Jane Foster and additional tag size kink and I got 39 results.

hope this helps!

Wait is jerking it to fanfic like? Widely accepted?

I came across this post by @boigameista again and was overcome by the uncontrollable urge to make Frog (diminutive)

This pattern is meant to be at least twice as big and is intended for stretchy fabric like fleece, not felt, but you know how it is, inscrutable exhortations of my soul, etc.
