#like the people who hate ao3s tagging system and the people who don't wanna learn ao3s tagging system is a circle

"I wish ao3 would let me-"

It probably does, you just gotta learn how to do it.

"I wanna see fics for only my opt"

Go to either fandom tag or your ships tag, (if you're doing fandom tag you have to add your ship in the 'relationship' section),go to fliters (mobile) or the right hand side (desktop), go to the 'search within results' area and put in otp:true just like that click 'sort and filter' And it'll pull up all fics with just your otp.

(EDIT: if you wanna do this but still have other parings try otp:false instead of otp:true)

"I wanna sort by _____ not 'Date updated'"

Go to 'filters' or right, theirs a drop down and you can change it to 'author' 'title' 'date posted' ect their are more options. Pick one, click 'sort and filter'

"I don't wanna see /reader"

Filter or Right, go to 'search within results' type in -/reader like that, click 'sort and filter'. No more /reader

"I don't want explicit works"

You know where we're going Right or filter. 'Exclude' section. 'Ratings' click the box that says 'explicit'

Obviously if people don't tag shit correctly it's not gonna work but yeah you just gotta learn how the tagging works. For better tutorials go to TikTok and search 'ao3 tutorials' you can do just about everything.

just did a quick follower clearout and was surprised to learn that the majority of the new ones were actually not bots! i guess people actually are coming here from reddit? anyway, hi new followers, have some general info:

this is generally a critical role blog, but i'm not really following c3. feel free to spoil me

i write fic (lots of it) (too many wips) (help) that can all be found on ao3. i've archive locked my account bc of ai stuff, but feel free to message me for an invite if you don't have an account

other fandoms/interests that you'll generally see: dimension 20, star trek, star wars, welcome to night vale/wtnv presents, wolf 359, the bright sessions, hazbin hotel, helluva boss, the locked tomb, the raven cycle, pokemon, good omens, doctor who, flight rising, web development, dogs, the ocean, poetry.

i tag all the common triggers i can think of. lmk if you need one and i'll attempt to accommodate.

some interaction stuff:

i am part of a median system. this blog is mostly run by me (thane, it/its, 23) but all of the adult members of the system have access to it and may post occasionally.

i don't gatekeep other systems. if you've got headmates and you wanna call yourself a system because of it, alright. i don't care enough about whether or not you're actually having audio hallucinations or ptsd flashbacks and mislabeling them to harass you about it. that's your deal. if you're a system you're safe here. conversely if you hate endogenic systems, don't bother me about it. we're traumagenic but endos are safe here.

we're a pretty fictive heavy system. my fictives do not interact with the fandoms of their respective sources as it can feel weirdly fetishistic or even painful for them (we've tried. people got weird about it.) this is not to say don't interact with my fictives if you know where they're from, just...treat them like any other person you know nothing about besides their internet presence.

my discord handle is @/themagicianking feel free to send me a friend request if you wanna chat, i hate tumblr's message interface

anyway. hi hello welcome have a cat for getting through that wall of text
