i’ve seen this user post this photo as a sort of reaction image a couple times now and it makes me laugh every time. because this is the incredibly elusive marbled cat and they really do just have a tendency to look so pitiful, guilty, and empty in the head. so here’s some more photos of them looking like there’s just one marble bouncing around their skull:

Yk what the restaurant scene deserves its own post, I have so many things to say.

Andy keeps inadvertently stealing Emily's dreams from her and Emily still has always wanted to just be her friend

The way Emily fidgets with her hair and smiles when Andy walks in before saying "Hello" and trying to school her face into something neutral

Andy looking surprised when Emily starts with "Well I screwed up, rather royally" and then smiling anyway before immediately telling her "it's okay." Because Andy screwed up once too and if anyone deserves her grace right now it's Emily

Emily's little "Really?" She wants to be forgiven so so bad and Andy is just there having already forgiven her is sooo AHHHHH

So much more under the cut

Emily joking about how it's shocking that Andy is compromising her values by forgiving Emily to try and make light of how genuinely shocked she is that Andy even thought she was worth talking to again. She's so shocked that Andy is even sitting in front of her right now

Emily was the one to call to arrange for them to talk here. She didn't have Dior, or Benji, or Runway anymore so she figured maybe she could at least have Andy? At least she could try and fix that? She's the one who reached out. And god that hurts because just imagine her sitting there like "you better pick up this time Andy"

The way Emily can only get through the smallest amount of small talk before she fidgets with a menu she's already ordered from, not looking Andy in the eyes when she tells her that Andy all but broke her heart 20 years ago.

Emily's face when Andy says "Oh yeah I remember!" is so full of hope for maybe at least closure and then Andy says she thought it was a pocket dial

Just the fact that they both remember that phone call is the gooiest thing I've ever heard

Emily rubbing her arms before saying "No I wanted us to be...I thought we could be pals" genuinely makes me want to be sick of my god she's so nervous

Emily saying "it's not a big deal" WHEN SHE BROUGHT IT UP OUT OF NOWHERE BECAUSE SHE'S CLEARLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR TWENTY FUCKING YEARS

Andy melting into a pile of goo saying "you wanted to be friends" and Emily saying "yes" before rushing to immediately minimise that with "but it's obviously too late now" she wants Andy to say it isn't too late sooo badly

Emily calling herself persona non grata and then trying to make an annoyed face when Andy says "not to me" but it really coming across as somewhat hopeful and I'm sorry but there is love there

Andy telling Emily she's iconic is so soft because Emily has always tried so hard to just be noticed and appreciated by other people who have never seen her. Even her ex husband was apparently too self absorbed to love her properly. And here Andy is telling her that she's amazing enough all on her own and it really might genuinely be the first time anyone has ever told her that.

Emily's little shocked stare, lips parting and eyes welling up because despite everything and after all these years, Andy Sachs has apparently always just liked and respected her as Emily. Not as Miranda's first assistant or Dior Exec or whatever, just Emily. She just wants to be seen and loved ugh god

Emily blinks more tears away in this scene than she did when Andy gave her all the Paris clothes so maybe it really didn't have much to do with the clothes and everything to do with Andy. I hate to think how much she must've missed her.

Andy smiling so softly while Emily has to wipe away a tear this is such an insane movie and I think my heart is going to explode

We all know Emily is touchy as hell in the first movie which makes the "I don't want to hold your hand" bit so interesting to me. I like to think it's because she's just had to put up with so much touching she clearly didn't want from Benji so now she's trying to have boundaries again and a little part of the relief in her expression after she says "but yes friends" is because Andy isn't pushy about it and just accepted it with a laugh and and "okay" like it's what she'd expected anyway

Emily trying really hard to fight the smile after confirming that they're now friends but failing and smiling anyway, STILL blinking back years and she's still smiling down at the table until Andy asks about her eyebrows

Andy's face when Emily says "I ordered them" her fucking smile oh my god she's so happy that Emily has healthier eating habits now

THEY'RE JUST SO CUTE UGHHH

I think this speaks for itself. Accepting a person doesn’t mean you get to put limits on their freedom. You can’t be an ally and want us to stop talking, or labeling, or demanding to be heard.  

Acceptance has no exceptions. Period.

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

summary: Bruce

summary: "Bruce Banner"

summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

[katri-24]

This page is so beautiful and honestly I hope it reaches and helps any new people that are just starting out on Ao3 because it's helping me and I’ve been using the site for 5+ years now

[ao3commentoftheday]

I saw your tags @jackdaw-sprite and I figured I could offer you some help? You've got a few options to find fics that are actually about your fave who is often sidelined.

My own personal go-to is to use the Search Within Results filter. You can find the filters by clicking/tapping on any tag. If you're on a wide screen like a laptop, they'll be on the right hand side of the screen. If you're on a narrow screen like a phone, you'll need to press the Filters button at the top of the page to open up the menu.

In that menu, scroll down until you're near the bottom. That's where you can find the box labelled Search Within Results. In that box, you can type

summary: Renhardt OR summary: Rendog

When you filter for that result, you'll get 19 fics with that name mentioned in the summary, and if the name is in the summary you've got MUCH higher chances of them being central to the fic.

There's also a way to find fics with a tag in the X position. Fan coders have had this same issue, and so they've created userscripts that you can add to your web browser (like an extension). Here are a few that might be helpful for you to try:

AO3 Actually Relevant Characters - Sorts and highlights works based on how relevant the tagged character seems in the work's tags and summary.

AO3: Prioritise my Faves - Hide work if chosen tags are late in sequence, or if blacklisted tags are early

AO3 Secondary Character & Pairing Filter - Replaces works with placeholder if the tags you want aren't the first few tags, with option to show work.

Editing to add: this version of the post has a syntax error in it. To remove oneshots with a filter, use

-expected_number_of_chapters: 1
