I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship
Gamechanger
Here’s a cheatsheet of all the available hidden search functions. “-creators:[whatever]” is another exclusion that can be particularly useful.

Ivan and Sua Parallels post-Confession Comic
So the recently posted Confession comic on Twitter hit so hard it made me think again about Ivan and Sua and the narrative parallels between their characters.
It seems that Ivan first found kinship in Sua since they had similar backgrounds. Ivan appeared to have also been heavily abused by his aliens which is the same case with Sua. But from that feeling of kinship or rather because of that feeling, envy and animosity welled up within Ivan when he saw that Mizi reciprocated the love that Sua had.
Ivan had no other frame of reference towards what it feels like to love and be loved except for Sua who he viewed as someone similar to him. The moment he saw the way Sua and Mizi's eyes light up at the sight of each other while he was left gazing by his lonesome at Till, he probably was very devastated. If the last sentence of the comic was anything to go by, Ivan might have thought that the problem with his and Till's relationship lies in himself. He felt as if he was just dragging Till along, that Till was just a victim to a love that Ivan thought meant everything but, in the end, amounted to nothing, at least in his eyes.
He did still think that his sacrifice was better than what Sua did by that very same virtue. He thinks that his love was shallow because it did not reach Till, thus it could never really leave a wound as deep as the one Sua left Mizi. In a way, Ivan has come to a fatalist conclusion about his love. However, I do not think that Ivan thought that his love was a waste. I think he still valued that love, he still valued every moment he spent loving Till, but he has ultimately given up on the prospect of it being worth anything more than just self-gratification.
you have ruined and saved my life
WORST DAY OF MY LIFE
HAHAHAHHA SO WHAT IF I JUST PULLED AN IVAN
oh aventurine. aventurine who kept the last remnants of fabric from what was once a shirt that some ppl call rags bcs it's from his father goddamit. aventurine who gambled away his life for a necklace because it's the last his sister has of their mother. aventurine who couldnt sell the trinket his mother gave him despite knowing its value. aventurine who's so meticulous about the way he dresses never allowing a single dot of a water blot any part because it reminds him of the rain. aventurine who allowed himself to be soft kind indulgent and truthful to his younger self because no one ever was. aventurine who wins and is afraid. aventurine constantly chasing for freedom despite the shackles of his own fate and luck. aventurine who is lonely and forever will be.
It's really insane how much this guy just can't get a break like at all
11/30/23: KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.
Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.
Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/
Even with the changes as of 2024, this is still dangerous. It could clear senate. It’s got enough support to. Contact your senators.
The vote is on March 13th.
Even better, contact your representatives since this bill doesn’t have much support in there and it’s important that it never does.
Reblogging this to raise awareness.
I’m not American but this shit is setting a very dangerous precedent.
So contact your reps please.
Reblog this too.
This will affect the entire world because there's only one internet, and they have namedropped tumblr and AO3 as specific targets! They will wipe out the online queer community and fandoms.
And most fandom sites like those two and fanfiction.net are american! And who's saying the americans won't try to sue foreign country-based sites if this gets through?
Even if you aren't from the USA, contact them anyway because USA has no right to try to control the world like this! It has only been held at bay for this long because people have protested it!
Happiness Will Come To You.
