I love Naruto and KKIR but also random reblogs.
From 2023 my art and stories at oneinist's works.
Lover of Lists and Spreadsheets.
Non-binary, they | them
and it's pretty, I even used an add-on that i changed a little bit to match it (before and after)
as you can see, it's all very coherent etc etc bUT MY ISSUE
is the color of the little lock next to my username (yes my works are restricted)
i've seen at least one skin where this lock was changed to match it, and now I kinda want to change it too, at least to make it red so it doesnt pop ou too much with the rest
I just don't know how to change this specifically, can anyone help me please?
I'm going to walk you through step by step how I identified what needed to be changed and then how I changed it. It'll be helpful to you (or anyone) who wants to start modifying more parts of a site skin or even attempting to code your own!
If you just want the code, you can scroll down to the end.
Note: you need to use a computer for this method. I know someone told me once that you can inspect elements on your phone but I'm never going to attempt that lol.
First, you need to identify the thing that you want to change. In this case, it's the blue lock but it could be a background or a border or a specific tag etc.
To identify the thing, right-click in your browser window and choose Inspect from the menu that pops up. I use Firefox, so this menu will look a bit different if you're using a different browser.
When you open the Inspect feature, a window will open up in your browser with a lot of code in it. In Firefox, it opens at the bottom of the page. In Chrome it opens along the right-hand side.
At the top left corner of that Inspect window, you can see an arrow. Click on that.
With that arrow selected, you'll be able to see the names and boundaries of all of the elements on the page. Move your mouse around until you have it on top of the blue lock and you can see that the lock itself is selected.
With your mouse in the right place, click on the blue lock and notice that the code in the Inspect window jumps to a different location. It has now gone directly to the part of AO3's code that applies to this lock.
By looking at this line of code, I can see that the lock is an image (which is why the tooltip above had img on it when we were finding it on the page)
The source of the image is /images/lockblue.png - which means that the image is hosted directly on AO3 somewhere. That's why it doesn't start with https://www.
If you wanted to, you could change the image to something else by uploading your preferred image to an image hosting service and redirecting the code to look at that instead. I've done that in various skins before. But since you just want to change the colour, let's work on that.
To identify the specific bits of the code to change, I'm going to look at the breadcrumb along the bottom of that inspect window:
This gives you the exact location of the bit you're trying to change.
However, this is just the path when you're on the work's page itself. Let's take a look at the path when you're on a tag's browse page:
I compared this with my bookmarks, and it's the same so it seems we just have two places that we want to change:
CSS allows you to recolour an image without replacing it. To do this, you use Filters - which are pretty much like filters in photoshop. Some wonderful person out there made everyone's lives easier by creating a css filter generator: https://angel-rs.github.io/css-color-filter-generator/ So now you just need to enter the colour you're looking for and grab the filter code from here.
I'm going to use the hex colour #900 because that's the Archive's red, but you can enter whatever colour you'd like.
(if the colour doesn't look quite right, look at the Loss underneath the code. Here the loss is 0, so it's a perfect match, but if the loss is bigger, just run the 'get filter' again until you get a better match)
Press the Copy link to grab your filter and then paste it into your code, making sure that you have your brackets before and after the code bit.
Headcanoning Iruka letting his hair down in front of someone being on the same level of vulnerability and closeness as Kakashi letting someone see him maskless it's very important to me..
I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm
if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"
I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix
(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)
this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.
in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.
but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.
one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.
and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.
my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.
yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
Thank you all for joining us for KakaIru Valentine’s Week 2026!
We’ve had a blast, and loved seeing each & every one of your creations, but unfortunately, it’s time to say that the ao3 collection is officially closed, and we will no longer be accepting or sharing work for the event.
The fun isn’t quite over yet, though, as we will be sharing a masterpost soon, with a list of all this year’s amazing creations; so please keep an eye out for that announcement!
KakaIru Valentine’s Week will return next year, and we hope to see you there!
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you around!
AO3 is currently down. We do not have an estimated return time currently. We're looking into it with one of our third-party support providers and will update when we have more information. Thank you for your patience!
We've identified the problem and are working on a fix. We expect to remain down for several more hours. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!
AO3 is back up! We appreciate your patience. We've got our protections against bot traffic turned up a bit higher than usual, so some users may experience problems if they're using a VPN or similar tools.
AO3 will remain down for at least several hours until we can consult our database vendor's support team and resolve the underlying issue. We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

Can we include darebee.com with ao3 and wikipedia on our list of really good nonprofits with excellent services that we stan?
It's a free, no sign-up, no ads fitness resource created by professionals who view this as activism (fitness should be accessible to everyone), and it's very thoughtful and thorough.
Features I really like:
- all instructions for workout routines are diagrammed on single pages with a clean, easy to read layout
- there's 30 or 60 day programs you can follow if you, like me, don't know what to do. they take you through a rotation of workouts so you're working different muscle groups on different day for a specific purpose
- there's so much variety and there's a filter so you can find the level and your goals and type of workout you wanna do
- you don't need any equipment
- some of the programs are RPGs or adventure stories! How's that for motivation. There's also badges and achievements or something but I haven't looked that closely at how that works yet
- they're nerds. they name workouts after D&D classes. There's a Lannistrr workout, a batcave workout, a witcher workout
Match a list of people to a list of projects according to their stated wishes
I made a matchmaking tool to help organize events where you need to match a list of people each with one of the wishes they expressed (with precious help from @feuwise, who helped make it usable by People Who Are Not Me).
Just tell it where your file is and where the data is in it and it does the matches.
So with this file:
it creates this file:
if you need something not already covered don't hesitate to ask. It went through a couple rounds of adding stuff and streamlining the UI but I may have missed things.
(it's a downloadable software, for windows, mac and linux)
