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.

Holy shit. Rt to save time

Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?
This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA
regarding the genocide song contest:
if you're european: please contact your participating broadcaster and demand for the removal of israel, or try to contact your nation's selected artist to put pressure on the broadcaster. if you're swedish, please try contacting svt or authorities with security concerns regarding the inclusion of israel. if israel does enter eden golan, complain about her selection and ties to russia. and absolutely DO NOT vote on, watch or promote this show if israel does end up competing.
Here is a document with contacts for all participating broadcasters, artists and sponsors, including a template email translated to 20+ languages

once again, to the people charging money for fanfiction: be more freaking careful before you get us all taken down?!?!?!?! you shouldn't be doing that at all because you don't have any right to make money off someone else's copyright, but making noise about it risks legal repercussions even for people who don't charge! STOP THAT.
and DEFINITELY don't be advertising it on AO3
just saw a post where someone was admonishing PAYING readers for not commenting/complimenting. you've received money to write smut about characters you didn't create and don't own, yet you have the gall to also demand what all unpaid writers live on? for an imagine???
It’s due to the age of content creators. In the time of someone getting paid through sponsors/ads from dancing in a TikTok, doing a commentary on a YouTube channel, or simply taking photos of themselves or of cats and posting on Instagram, people (especially newer fandom folks) want to get paid for simply making something.
Making money off fanfic is no-no rule number 1. A plot may be yours but the world and characters are not. Do not make money off of other people’s property. It’s entitled and greedy.
This opens the doors to lawsuits and getting sites which host fanfics shut down permanently.
Demanding someone’s money or even attention/time/whatever just because you made a thing is immature and borders on delusional. No one owes you those things especially when it already belongs to someone else.
The ghost of Anne Rice is coming for you all with cease and desists and screaming ‘I told you so’
PROFITING OFF FAN FICTION IS ILLEGAL! SELLING FANFICTION IS ILLEGAL!
Fanfiction exists in the legal area of Fair Use and Transformative works. THIS ISNT LIKE FANART where people make money on their red bubble accounts. I have watched sites hosting fan fiction get destroyed from cease and desist notices from 20th Century Fox lawyers, I have been there when Anne Rice would go after anyone personally.
I swear to god I see someone selling bound fan fiction on Etsy I’m gonna burn your house down.
STOP ATTEMPTING TO PROFIT OFF FAN FICTION IT IS ILLEGAL. It’s not entitled and greedy, IT IS ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL.
good riddance live
Love this guy

I took exactly the same image, increased the saturation, and shifted it to a part of the spectrum most people can see better.
For all your no-YOU-have-the-weird-color-vision argument-solving needs.
Also, the car is orange.
Posting this in case anyone is color blind and doesn’t know it lmao
oh so Lois Lane doesn’t know Superman and Clark Kent are the same person and falls in love with both the hero and the man under the mask? say no more, i’ve been watching Miraculous Ladybug for years
This blog in the photo accompaninstuo91 does not have a proper blog. When you click on their blog, an image pops up asking you if you're 18 and if you say yes or no, it directs you to a virus/porn site that isnt on tumblr
The bots are evolving to actively redirect you/ give viruses to you
Please reblog this so you dont fall victim. Do not click follow or try to go onto their blog, instead the only way to report them is to click the little three dots and click report
@staff please stop shit like this
the notes of this post are absolute comedy gold
Im going to miss the way i used to eat gently and trustingly from the waitstaffs cupped hands.

If Barbie has anything less than 120% on rotten tomatoes, that is fucking misogyny and feminism will prevail.

One time this man approached me in a bar talking in Spanish. So I assumed he was Spanish and we started speaking, we had a whole ass conversation and at some point he was like. So what part of Spain are you from? And I said well I’m Italian actually. What part of Spain are you from? And he was like. I’m Greek.
One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because I’m not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said “oh no I’m Brazilian hahah” and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, “I’m Brazilian too”
When my dad went to China on a work trip, his Mandarin speaking wasn’t great but his listening was fine (his first language is Cantonese) and he encountered a German guy who had moved to China to work. My dad knew how to speak German because he studied it in university (but wasn’t great when it came to listening to new vocab he hadn’t studied before), and the German guy knew Mandarin because he lived and worked in China, so they had a conversation where my dad spoke to the German guy in German and the guy responded in Mandarin. I’m sure it confused a lot of their coworkers who just saw the Asian guy speaking German and the white guy speaking Mandarin.
Some years ago, I worked for a manufacturing company that had a service depot in China. One of the engineers from the main office here in the US spent most of his time at the depot. The problem was that he didn’t speak *any* of the various Chinese languages, and no one at the depot spoke any English. They all, however, spoke Spanish.
I love the world
My late uncle (English) met his ex wife (French) in Germany, where they spoke almost exclusively German to each because that was their only common language to start with.
They had two kids, both of whom are fluent in both English and French, but don’t speak a word of German between them XD
what if every Tumblr user suddenly looses their mouse?
J = Next Post K = Previous Post L = Like N = View Notes Space = Show Photo Shift + R = Reblog Shift + E = Add to Queue Z + Tab = Switch Blogs
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.
I just reblogged this with the command, shit
Do you know how much this helps people who have trouble with the mouse? (Me, other disabled people) thank you
Yup, I use these when my hands get particularly weak (like now)
Alt + R is the new command to reblog Alt + Q is the new command to queue

I literally can’t tell who is talking to who, and I don’t want to change that for a second.
