The great thing about huge declarations is that the most times you're ever going to have to deliver on them is ONCE. And even that is vanishingly unlikely. The dishes happen every day. My feet hurt now. The kids need a lift to piano lessons every week. The grenade is hypothetical.

A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

A how-to for AO3

We’ve had a lot of refugees from other fanfic sites come to our beloved AO3 in recent times, plus an entire generation that’s never known anything else. And I’ve seen a lot of posts about fandom etiquette when it comes to tagging, what the ratings mean, what the warnings mean and all that. But what I haven’t seen is a post about how the site actually functions. Like, in a practical sense. So here we are.

Did you read something by an author and you want more? Or you know you read something by them and now you can’t find it? Or you just don’t want to scroll for hours through pages because you can’t remember when it was posted? You can go to any personal archive by clicking on the pseud. And then you can then filter by fandom by clicking from the list at the top of the page. It will bring up everything an author has written for that particular fandom. Some people have more than one pseud, too. Going to their personal page is also how you can find those alternates (assuming they’re linked by email address).

(Looks different on mobile, but all those pages are still accessible)

Want a specific pairing? Or rating? Or warning? Once you’re on one of the selectable pages, pull up the filters. They work just like they do in the broader archive. Include will give you everything that has that in it. Exclude will give you everything BUT that one thing. (Or two, or more, however many you’ve selected.) And there’s a filter for everything in both lists. Rating, warnings, ships, even additional characters and tags.

You can put works in order by kudos, comments, bookmarks, etc. just like fandom archives. You can see how many are completed, or are still in progress. You can see their public bookmarks if you’re curious about what your faves read. And do all that filtering again if you want.

In short, everything clicks. Everything selectable or underlined is a hyperlink. Play with them. Your reading experience will be better, I guarantee it. If you’ve all read this and feel like ‘well, duh, obviously’, this post wasn’t for you. It was for those who DIDN’T know. Reblog it for them and be kind to each other.

Now go forth to read well.

i love everyone in this thread

a while ago, partner & i went stick hunting for various projects and found a somewhat dragonish pine branch -> Stick Dragon Time!

all bark, sticks and lichen are natural materials, mostly unaltered except for some light drybrushing. the head and legs are 3d printed, and painted to match the wood. the whole noodle is about 1,5 meters long, and will reside on the living room wall. making this was the most fun i've had with a project in some time; there is a healing power to sitting on the bathroom floor for hours glueing scraps of wood together.

When you are a classical musician and the public asks you to play Queen …

@hieronymus-bush … although I’m not sure what you’ll think of it 😆

Holy hell. He has amazing technique AND he didn’t just transcribe the piece to piano, he essentially composed classical music (and honestly some neo-classical, lol) based on the melody. Plus, he kind of looks like Freddie.

People in the 1800s would've gone apeshit over this in the concert halls

Reblogging to watch later...

I think this guy just invented shredding on a piano

"Why is the song called that" "Oh, that's why"

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

happy ninerose to all those who celebrate

fuck it, reblog to give the person you rb'ed this from a freshly baked buttery croissant.

Okay so i was wracking my brain trying to figure out what games tumblr loves or has loved over the years and i realised (with a little help from those Years in a reivew) Just how much tumblr loves games too. So go vote, i know you want to.
