#by having only complete works

[appalachianapologies]

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!

Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.

Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3

Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.

Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.

Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.

Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.

Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

#ao3 #archive of our own #organization for transformative works #i have admittedly only been a member of the committee for a couple of years BUT ive been a member on ao3 since i was much younger #and it took me a hot second to understand how ao3 works; so i wanted to write a lil post about it after seeing this comment #no shade or blame to the person who wrote this by the way! #after being on social media so much it's a completely understandable mistake and i totally get it #and in fandoms populated by younger ppl typically it's even more understandable! #so absolutely no hate no shade no passive aggressiveness #but i do think it is important to learn how the archive works #so if you'd like to share this it would be greatly appreciated! <3 #okay have a good day sorry this post/tags became so long haha

uhhh this is really messy and took me like 8 hours, but i feel like if i don’t finish this whole 6 minute animation im never gonna share a single thing of it, so im making sure i do not do that

#i’m having so much trouble posting this pls ignore me #this is only like half of what i worked on today #but this is the cleanest part and i like it so i thought id share it #i’m trying to animate a bit every day #even if it’s just getting storyboards/concepts drawn #i’ve had this very vivid animation in my head to this song since last year #hopefully i retain the motivation to see it to completion #fnaf moon #fnaf sun #fnaf dca #fnaf daycare attendant

concept of katie killjoy having sold her soul to vox because she thought he was an honourable Straight Man and low-key had a thing for him but then later found out he was one of the QUEERS but it was already too late by then

she thinks valentino turned him gay (only because he's more openly queer and it was more obvious with him than vox)

#osrs.txt #HOW did she find out? take your pick #she either saw vox and val making out or saw some of vox's alastor shit #when vox hijacked 666 news in stayed gone she was feeling especially homophobic #staticmoth #voxval #onewaybroadcast #not maintagging radiostatic cause I only vaguely mentioned it in the tags LMAO #staticjoy #creating this tag because I made up katie having a thing for him #I think it's funny #katie killjoy #hazbin vox #hazbin hotel vox #vox #vox hazbin #vox hazbin hotel #hazbin valentino #hazbin hotel valentino #valentino #valentino hazbin #valentino hazbin hotel #also yes katie being owned by vox is completely fanon there's no evidence for it other than the fact #that she works for news broadcasting for tv and vox is the tv man #hazbin hotel #the fanon val killjoy beef

WOO‼️‼️ I can finally post my @voxxazine piece!... actually I could've posted it like a week ago (that's when the zine released) but I was waiting until the site I made for the project was publicly available.

because yeah, in addition to being given the opportunity to make a page for the zine, I also made the site! thank you to the mods for being so nice ;w;

but yeah anyways! this piece seemed "simple" when I was musing the idea of it, but it ended up taking me so SO long to finish (ig i should've known, given all the details I wanted to include), and speaking of details: see how many references to Miku related things you can catch! allusions to her original design don't count (so things like the "01" patch on her jacket I don't consider a "reference" :P), there's about 11 "references" total! see if you can catch them all ;)

#vocaloid #hatsune miku #miku hatsune #voxxazine #fanart #2023 #csp #fully finished #I have explanations on what all the references are on my neocities (mine. not the voxxazine one)..... cross promotion lmfao #but i hope u all check out the voxxazine neocities site i worked hard on it #it was meant to go up the same time as the zine releasing but neocities got scared at how fast i was uploading the files id completed #locally on my computer..... so they suspended the acct and only reinstated today #oh also im tagging it 2023 because i finished this in october

Fig, this episode: “I don’t think I wanna be a bard anymore.”

Me, already planning out the set list for the junior year tour in my head: WHAT?!?

#I mean I only have one song #it’s called ‘Wanda (Where Do You Wander?)’ #(it’s a work in progress) #but like WHAT?! #fig faeth #fhjy #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy spoilers #fantasy high #fh #like do whatever makes you happy babygirl #not only are you not a real person you’re not even a cartoon character you are literally a woman in her 30s pretending to be a high schooler #so like literally do whatever #but still WHAT?!? #when Emily said that she made a decision halfway through an episode this season that completely changed the direction for the character? #I did NOT think it was gonna be her quitting the cig figs! #but I mean #I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see it coming #with all the ‘I will do literally anything to not write my album’ ir’ like yeah I see you drawing your line in the sand #fantasy high junior year

[communistkenobi]

I don’t like when people ask how many books you plan to read/have read this year one because I think that’s a weird relationship to have to books and two because I think even reading a chapter or a portion of something is valuable. this is especially true with non-fiction but even with fiction I think any amount you read, even if you don’t read the entire thing, is not a failure or ‘incomplete’

#I read basically exclusively non fiction and every page I read is beneficial like I’m always learning something #like my relationship to reading is often extractive and utilitarian because of school and research #but that extractive process doesn’t require reading the whole text like 99.9% of the time #I’ve only read a third of Orientalism for example but like I have a good grasp of Said’s core arguments and concepts #and like part of how I finished authoritarian personality (a 1000 page book) was by skipping & skimming sections #like the whole is not always more valuable than its components #and also like ‘I read this book to complete it’ is not an insincere way to engage with a text but I feel like it’s limiting #if that’s your primary approach to reading. Like you read a book just to say you read it #& also more petty but I think that if your argument or thesis only works if people read 100% of your book then you’re doing a poor job #of getting your point across #again obviously it’s valuable to read and process whole complete texts not dismissing that but like #I don’t find a lot of inherent value in reading a book just to complete it u know

Imagine Azul working at his desk as one of the twins has you bent over the other side just railing into you, just out of the way that you won't interrupt his work/contracts. Maybe if he's feeling benevolent, he'll hold your hand with his free one while he writes(man's totally ambidextrous).

Tako crunch time...... too busy to bother with sex, so Jade or Floyd takes care of you while he's reviewing documents...... yes. <3 it works so well with Floyd because Floyd fucks you everywhere. Thank the Great Seven for magic because the amount of times those leather sofas have had to be magically deep-cleaned after Floyd's gone a few rounds with you on them... T_T Sea Witch, give Azul strength.

But then it's also so good to imagine Jade railing you against Azul's desk and the two of them are talking numbers and profits while you're falling apart and stuffed full of cock. >_< Azul is sweet enough to take your hand in his when you're scrabbling for something to hold onto because the pace Jade or Floyd sets is brutal, and he runs his thumb over the top of your hand while you're sobbing in ecstasy, your face pressed into the pristine mahogany.

And maybe when he finally finishes his work for the evening, he gets to have his turn. >:) he throws your legs up onto his shoulders and fucks you while you're sprawled on your back on his desk. He'll even wash you up after the fact and carry you to his room so you can cuddle with him. He's such a sweet (contractual) boyfriend (and future husband, but you'll get there one day)!!!!

#twisted chit chat #n/sfw #this concept works so well with vil and rook too omg #rook is rearranging your guts while vil's doing his morning routine completely and utterly unfazed #his only words to rook are 'just make sure you don't lose track of time. we have somewhere to be' #and rook is like 'give me five minutes <3' #(he only needs two if that. he's good with his hands his mouth his dick... everything orz)

I need everyone to know that speedsters are allergic to nanobots.

No, seriously. They're allergic to nanobots.

Speedsters have absolutely insane metabolisms, which means that they have an absolutely insane immune system. They don't get sick. Ever. Their immune system works at warp speed and takes out germs the second they enter their body. Call germs 'the Rogues' because they're getting tackled by super speedy blurs before they can even think about causing issues.

Okay, so they have a great immune system and don't get sick ever. What does this have to do with nanobots?

Great question! When nanobots are injected into a speedster's body their immune system sees them as a threat. Only problem? It doesn't matter how fast or efficient their immune system is, their body can't destroy a bunch of tiny metal robots.

Because their bodies can't fight off the nanobots they start to display typical cold/flu symptoms instead. Vomiting, fever, runny nose, coughing, being tired, ect. The nanobots aren't causing this reaction. Their own immune system causes this reaction. The fever is the bodies attempt to kill off the 'germs'. The vomiting, runny nose and coughing is the body's attempt to expel the 'germs'. They feel tired because their body is putting everything into fighting off the 'infection'.

In a normal person the nanobots wouldn't even be an issue because they'd be able to avoid detection. They can't avoid detection in a speedster body because their immune systems are dialled up to 500 out of 10.

As a result you get instances like this:

(Inertia had injected Bart with nanobots and Bart had a reaction)

Just an FYI for people because this is extremely fun and versatile information. Especially because none of the speedsters are really aware of this and it doesn't kick in right away. I could totally see a situation where a mission requires nanobot injections and mid mission the speedster goes down out of nowhere. It's also great if you want to do a stereotypical sick fic or something and want to get around that pesky speedster immunity.

Anyway, it's fun information so I thought I'd share

#anyone watch that episode of TT where all the titans are injected with nanobots that'll kill them if robin doesn't work with slade? #and everyone is all 'WHY HAS ROBIN BETRAYED US?!?' #anyway im just saying that if Wally was there he would be on the ground delirious and vomiting #which #i don't know if it makes the situation better because the team would be looking into why hes sick #or if it makes it worse because wallys out of commission #but its 10/10 either way #i just want a yj mission where tims like 'hey we are going to space so here are gps nanobots' #and then like three hours later Bart is burning up delirious and vomiting #and tim (who knows that speedsters ONLY show symptoms of sickness if they have the plague or have been poisoned or something) FREAKS OUT #throws him into quarantine. stops the mission. gets an emergency surgery room ready. has doctors on the line. #Kon goes into quarantine with him cause hes 'AN ALIEN AND CAN'T GET SICK FUCK YOU TIM' #meanwhile hes like #completely fine #he just has flu symptoms #dc #dc comics #the flash #impulse #kid flash #wally west #bart allen #barry allen #speedsters

#hazbin hotel #angel dust #niffty #sir pentious #hazbin angel dust #hazbin niffty #hazbin sir pentious #requested #hazbin hotel edit #masquerade #THIS IS NEVER NOT SO FUCKING FUNNY LMFAOOOOO #also if ur here: @ the person who requested the saint peter greeting set i'm still working on it!! it's just taking a long ass time lmao #my gifs #genuinely i think niffty is the only one who will always say yes to watching angel's movies with him #they'd both have a blast - niffty enjoys the violence/depravity and angel gets to brag/talk about his performance #and she'd listen!! #they'd share popcorn :] #then she'd say something completely off the hinges like ''last time i dommed a guy like that i had to bury him in five different locations'

Just reading some comics and saw a panel I thought you might like. :)

ah fuck, characters reminiscing always get to me ;__;

but i will never ever get over that fond way these two talk to and abt each other. especially when they’re poking fun, you can just hear the love in their voice it’s SICK.

the halbarry love language is annoying each other, but even more than that, it’s being each other’s exceptions

#panels #sent to me #halbarry #hal jordan #green lantern #barry allen #the flash #dc #danswers #the halbarry love language/exceptions thing btw is a whole thesis i have in my brain #their love language incompatibilities; their willingness to compromise and make it work; the way they’ve never had a friend like this #hal esp is almost like a completely different person around barry. like he’s still Hal ofc but it’s obvious that he’s never navigated a #relationship like this before. yes i’m talking abt ‘what do you guys see in each other?’ / ‘yk… i have no idea! ☺️’ #hal is so aro-coded for someone i don’t hc as aromantic. and that’s only bc barry came along (another whole thesis o’ mine…) #god literally the rare exceptions to each other #been thinking abt writing a halbarry fic abt their love languages (5 chapters 1 love language for each) #not rly sure what that’d even be abt but i do think abt this often so maybe writing smith would help me process/explore/share my analysis + #interpretations of how that works between them #idk i’m not a writer we’ll just have to see

Me being totally normal: I can surely figure out what page he's at if I stare at it for too long

Also me, staring at it for too long: Wait...is he reading....the foreword...? I can't believe it took me this long to realize Vegas is reading the first page here. It might not even be the foreword, it might be info about the author, it's so funny. But don't worry, the good news is that he's actually reading the book in this scene:

which, of course, you can make the claim that beforehand, he was not in a good mental state (Vegas? not being mentally well? No fucking way right?) so he was trying to distract himself from whatever the fuck the whole thing he's doing at the safehouse is, but after him and Pete talk and bond and all of that good stuff, his mind can focus and actually read the damn book. Sidenote Because I'm a bit insane and very committed in finding things to obsess over with my hyperfixations, I estimated the possible percentage of the book he might be currently at, then went to the appropriate page and found this line there: "He felt very gay and light-headed, and quite forty years younger, as he walked to the door."

I swear to God, it was there, and I laughed so hard they must have heard me over in Thailand.

#this is the shit that occupies my brain every day #I might have a problem #I'm actually in the process of reading Childhood's End for a fic idea I got at random and would really like to see if it'd work #me sweating above the pages: how can I make it connect to Vegas???? #surely they didn't make him read this book specifically only for its title right? RIGHT? #(the most probable answer is that yes it's because of the title but where there's a will there's a way) #(and I have a wild imagination when it comes to connecting two completely different and unrelated things together because I love them both) #(stay tuned for a fic that's coming in December for that lol) #anyway have I said how much I love this show yet? #I love this show and the brainrot it's given me #I hope it stays for a long ass time #kinnporche the series #vegaspete #vegas theerapanyakul

actually in hindsight why did Rick repeatedly have Piper solve all the ghost problems on the Argo II when. Hazel was right there. A daughter of Pluto. who by all logic should be able to control ghosts even a little bit. like, we know she has at least some of those types of powers. she just never gets to actually practically use them. ever. and then when there are zombies Hazel once again. does not get to use her powers about it. what.

#pjo #riordanverse #hazel levesque #does hazel EVER use necromancy powers? besides *maybe* a little bit when working for gaea to raise giants? #though that was pretty explicitly mostly geokinesis #where is hazel's necromancy cmon #but like. ''oh no people are getting possessed. i know! PIPER! FIX THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR CHARMSPEAK'' #''rather than oh i dont know HAZEL. THE PERSON WITH GHOST POWERS DIRECTLY NEXT TO ME.'' #heck Hazel is very familiar with people being possessed. her mother was for. awhile. #why not just have hazel go ''hm yup. that's possession if i've ever seen it. hold on i've got this'' and then she uses pluto powers #you cant even use the excuse ''oh but she wouldn't know how to-'' #she's been hanging out with her brother Nico ''Ghost King'' di Angelo for what. eight? ten months? something like that? #and one of her major things is that she's pretty good at picking things up quickly and has highly honed her powers #you're telling me nico never told her ''btw just in case: if you ever need to exorcise a ghost from someone just idk smack 'em'' #like why is the exorcising ghosts piper's job #and why with the zombie apocalypse was it like ''oh no we can't do anything until apollo comes over to help us or whatever'' #''if only we had a CENTURION WITH NECROMANCY POWERS. like a CHILD OF PLUTO OR SOMETHING'' #''WHOSE BROTHER VERY FAMOUSLY GOT A ZOMBIE AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT'' #and its like. yes hazel does ultimately play a significant role in stopping the zombie problem #but functionally COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO HER POWERS?

it’s still so... hm. i'm not sure what words to use here tbh.

but to give the one character that has received such preferential treatment through early access development and full release even more new content + new lines even though he already has a wealth of scenes, detailed animations, incredible world responsiveness, that about totals to having a third more content than everyone else...

all the while the other characters, their romances, their stories and the way the world they're in reacts to them are still either a barren wasteland or bugged to the point they can’t be triggered.

#like correct me if i'm wrong but ast*rion is the only have to have lines before / after you kiss on top of everything else and it's like #like ok good for him... as always #he's clearly The Priority Above All Else #can w*ll get romance greetings #can g*le's romance be fixed #can minth*ra's romance triggers work #can h*lsin get some content that actually fleshes him out instead of ppl doing the writing for devs #can sh's romance resolution not completely differ tonally from what you and her talked abt before the final fight #can scenes be added to address the imbalance #idk #text: personal #bg3 critical #larian critical #tbd

little snapshot of a zelda 1/2 au where the Prince actually sucks and he puts a bounty on the wielder of the triforce, which leads to link stealing a horse named Pony who joins him on his new quest to overthrow the monarchy

please click for quality i promise its worth it :)

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu hyrule #all my rat #i really need to learn how to draw leaves #legend of zelda #u wanna know a secret? #i made this au as an excuse to give roolie a horse #i know Pony is Large but just remember: link is tiny #i went down a complete rabbit hole of rein-less horseback riding during the process of this one #ik this au only works if u assume the prince is still alive (meaning hes probably old) or he left behind a triforce cult or smthn #but dont worry about it #i have a lot of headcanons about what rule's hyrule looks like
