PATROL PARTNERS PRESENTS: PATROL PARTNERS 2024

That's right, you read that correctly, we're officially bringing Patrol Partners back for our second year! We thought long and hard, took the feedback from last year's participants to heart, and have made a number of changes that will hopefully help things run smoother this year. Some of those changes include how signups and team assignments will be handled, others include how check-ins will be managed, and others still include how things are handled behind the mod curtain. We will be sending out more details on all of that shortly, including an updated "Meet the Mods" post and "FAQ" post, so keep an eye out for those!

For now, here's the dates you need to know:

We will have another AO3 collection set up by August 1st, with posting instructions posted in the server for Tumblr, AO3, and FFN.

If you have any questions, check the FAQs or send us an ask!

Have a wonderful morning/day/night!

Batman being aggressively secretive towards the Justice League is one of my favorite tropes, but it gets INFINITELY funnier when you take the younger generations of heroes into consideration.

Barry Allen? He doesn't know shit about Batman, still partially convinced he's not human, still a little bit scared to talk to him. But Wally West? That's Nightwing's best friend. He's been around Dick since both of them were kids. He's had sleepovers at the manor since he was thirteen.

I just think it would be hilarious if all of the younger generations 100% know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. They've slept at the manor, some of them have taken various Batkids to school dances, they've been offered Alfred's cooking. And all because they've gotten close to at least one Batkid and said Batkid wore Bruce down until he let them reveal their identity. But all of them manage to keep this information from their mentors. Either purposefully or completely on accident.

Then you end up with a situation where the younger generations grow up and join the League and the older members Very Quickly realize that they seem a lot more comfortable with Batman than they should be.

This post and it's reblogs have given me Ideas™. I can't promise anything, but, well. I have Ideas™ 🤷🏻‍♀️

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

Learned most of this through trial and error about ten years ago when I made my own migration from Wattpad and FFN to AO3, and it would have been nice to have this friendly guide to help ease me into things, so imma just reblog this in the hopes someone who needs it but wouldn't find it otherwise will see it

Final Day for Shutterbug Station

For the next 24 hours, every submission is worth double the points!

Happy creating!

Y'all if you wanted to join in the event, now is the time! Final submissions must be done by 11:59 est today! (Easter, March 31st)

Angst Arsonists for the win baby! Let's show 'em the victory fire!

@duskyashe those bears are going down. You better hide the fluff from the fire a blazing. Real talk though, here's to a fun last 23.75 hours!

These bears are gonna Fluff triumphantly, no Angsty Arsonism is gonna stop them! But I agree, let's have a fun last 23.25 hours!

Hello!

Trope Week!

I'm so excited! Don't get me wrong, quotes are amazing but man do I struggle with them sometimes. I'm happy for the break from them yet still glad we can use them alongside the tropes.

Where are my trope lovers at?

We need your help! We got a personal challenge of hitting 2000 points overall (aka between both teams) by 2:00 pm on the 12th!

This is an overall challenge so whether you're an Angst, Fluff or Both lover, this is the time to join in the fun!

(Specifically, @duskyashe I'm going to claim any new members to the server as angst arsonists and there's nothing you can do about it. The fire burns hot over here in the lead. *insert smirk here*)

I dunno, quotes week was pretty fun! Granted, I've kinda trained for working with quotes 🤔 not that it made much of a difference for the flock... I second your call to arms, though!

MariBat friends, fellow trope lovers, we need your help! We may be mighty, but we'll still need your help to reach our goal in time! Please, even a meme or two will help 💖

(I'll even gladly accept angst submissions if it means we make this challenge, though, of course, fluff reigns supreme even in the face of all your fiery angst, @velveteenshadow 😉)

Welcome to the Timari Servers first Live Event

There are two teams, Angst v. Fluff, and only you all can decide who shall be the true victor.

We're under 24 hours til the first prompt and it opens!

@abyssal-ali @duskyashe oh look, you see that comet? That's me on my way to the competition in a fiery ball of angst. The flock is about to get rocked.

Hmmm? Oh, what's that? Was there a comet fly-by? Sorry, I couldn't see it through the thick cover of nice, fluffy clouds ☁️☁️☁️ laying back in a warm woollen sweater under warm, fuzzy blanket, and watching the big, fluffy clouds lazily drift by, looks like your angst is about to get smothered 😜

That sounds like it's going to be hot. One little spark and the whole thing will go up in flames. This Angst Arson is going to be so lit that you'll have to earn your secondary team name to stop it.

This competition is about to heat up.

Hey, I heard there's a train coming. I think you should pack your things because there ain't no turning back. I'm out here on the hurt train.

Careful, don't wanna burn through all your fuel early with all that fire 😉 wouldn't wanna go off the rails on a crazy train!

Angst Arsonists for the win! (I still love the Fluff Flock too and the switches)

@abyssal-ali @duskyashe I'm ready to take the flock to the butchers. Y'all are going down! Here's to a good competition!

🤣 you're on, @velveteenshadow! You won't be able to handle the sheer amount of fluff that will be brought to the table 🐑☁️😎

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.

Helpful post I’ve added to my queue in case it helps someone else at the random point when it’s posted.

Imma just drop this here before I go and Do The Things™ 💖

Last sentence tag game

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

Tagged by @lurkingshan and I haven't really written anything in a bit, so have a little peak at the latest entry into my always growing notes app

Tagging @dimplesandfierceeyes, @waitmyturtles, and @anixknowsnothin to play, no pressure of course!

"I didn't hate you, not ever; I hated what you could've done to me, because you don't seem to understand that I would have, I will, die for you."

I don't feel like tagging that many people so tag yourself

My usual blog for the confused tagees @speaching

Hahaha, this is great!!! I barely know enough people on Tumblr to count on one hand, so here goes...

“Okay,” Tim finally whispered. “Yours.”

Whew, that was a close one. My sentences are usually long enough to make a person run out of breath. I'll tag @leafynib @acxa-kogane @igotthisaccountunderduress @captainshazamerica and @miles2g0. I've no idea if some of you are writers, but I know you're readers, so have fun!!! XD

"A rather simplistic way to put it, but yes."

I'm taking that one and running with it even though I'm about to write bc idk I'll be getting something shorter than that XD

it took me waayyy too long to find this many people i know on here, but here: @wildsofmarch @kgraces @misstuesday9 @selkienight60 @ghost-bxrd @justthatonegirl1815 @fleur-de-violette @they-reap-what-we-sow @starrystories2

Anyway, here are my tagged people! But pls don’t feel obligated to participate, it’s supposed to be fun 💚: @chasingfigments @cyrwrites @pics-and-fanfics @ladyblackjack @call-me-strega @lynzine

AHHHH HIIII YOURE LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS!! ❤️❤️ (I totally didn’t squeal and jump up and down, I’m cool I promise) (but like that just made my whole week thank you! ❤️)

Thank you also to @quackery-binx and @brokenstar28 for the tags, I promise I wasn’t ignoring you (my notifications are being weird, I only just got the notifications!)

“My chest heaves as I watch doors to a few classrooms open, faces with masks on slowly sticking out, looking around.”

Shit happens, or should I say, happened???

No pressure! (Shit 22 tags??? I don’t have that many people I follow that write off the top of my head) (sorry if you didn’t wanna get tagged!) ❤️ @igotthisaccountunderduress @bonerot19 @dragonsrequiem @stealingyourbones @mac-cheez @arrowheadedbitch @luxaofhesperides @nabtime @void-of-unparalled-chaos @vodrae @snakeredbirdbatkatana @vbecker10 @lokisgoodgirl @michelleleewise @puppetmaster13u @infinitystoner @hecate-hollow @holymultiplefandomsbatman @zylev-blog @iamlokisgloriouspurpose bro…. That’s mostly people I follow and it’s not even 22 tags…. Sorry! Love you tho! ❤️❤️ (again super sorry if this is weird, tagging you)

Ooo I've seen this going around but I didn't expect to be tagged! I've already shared my most recent sentence in a different post so to make this more interesting I'm going to jump to the sentence right before it.

"How dare he even think he could get away with such a thing."

Oh boy Jason is not a happy camper. Okay tags uh... to be honest most of the writers I follow have already been tagged so I just went through my ao3 bookmarks (and I have no idea if some of these tumblrs are inactive). If you already have been tagged I'm sorry in advance!

"Hopefully Jazz won’t be too mad about the table."

@tathartiel @ayamari-no-goshi @duskyashe

Aaaaaaahhhhhh I've been tagged twice in this, so I guess that means I should actually do something??? Ummm here's the last line of a proto summary I wrote for a Naruto fic I'm gonna write? Since that's the last WIP related thing I wrote???

Oh, uhhh, 19 words... Do I know 19 writers to tag??? Especially ones that haven't already been tagged tagged me... Eh, I'll just start tagging, I guess?

@stealingyourbones @hidden-under-lock-and-key @impyssadobsessions @intercoursefluids @rangerlexi @tourettesdog @evandarya @echosong971 @ayamari-no-goshi

Only tagged 9 people, cuz my brain is feeling like mush at the moment, so consider this an open tag. I can't remember if a few of you write or not, but don't feel pressured to participate! Love y'all!

Because apparently this is my fault, I'm posting this Miraculous Ladybug X DC prompt for anyone to use, but more specifically for @the-coffee-fandom 😉😂

🏹🐞🏹🐞🏹

Roy Harper has a secret, one he keeps from Oliver, from the old Titans, even from his fellow Outlaws. Roy likes to sew. Now, he can't exactly follow a pattern, and he definitely doesn't know the difference between a dart or a pleat, but his baby girl doesn't care about that. She's just happy that her princess dresses and superhero costumes look so much more like the real things than the store bought, mass produced things her classmates have to wear. But when he bumps into a five foot nothing young woman in the only fabric store in town open past 8pm, well. Maybe it's about time he finally learns the difference between front stitching and chain stitching, yeah?

TLDR, Roy Harper is a self taught hobbyist seamster who meets Marinette Dupein-Cheng in a fabric store.

🏹🐞🏹🐞🏹

If you decide to fill this prompt, please drop a link in the comments or reblog this post so I can read it!

I was wondering why you @ed me specifically for this until I remembered

And oh my you remembered

How dare you 😂

I TOLD you I put it in my queue 🤣🤣🤣
