DO NOT send me donation asks/DMs

I am multiply disabled and very poor. I do not have money to give. I am burnt out and while I believe you that you are suffering and that you need money, I cannot provide it. When I am active in reblogging mutual aid posts i recieve dozens and dozens of them, often with graphic images, often with guilt-tripping messages. I am not going to make rent in April. I believe you are struggling. I hope you get what you need. I want to help. But I cannot. I will continue reblogging such posts that come across my dash, but i will NOT take requests. I need to engage on my own terms, or I will not be able to engage at all.

anyway.

Introduction!

Hi, I'm Moss. I use all pronouns including neopronouns and it/its; variety is my preference so switch it up if you do refer to me.

I don't really message on here much, so mutuals if you feel like chatting more frequently, feel free to DM and ask for my Discord!

If you like my posts, my writing, or simply my good vibes, consider supporting me on Ko-fi! I'm disabled and cannot work full time, so every little bit counts.

Info about my tags, other blogs, and DNI stuff under the cut.

Every post about intrusive thoughts needs at least 10 people per day to reblog it derailing and saying "it's ok to have intrusive thoughts so long as they're not about violence or sexual acts but instead perhaps a witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour's cat in a small village in the Alps..."

AO3 filters are incredible. The show ended over a decade ago but you're only getting around to watching it now, and you want to avoid spoilers for later seasons? No worries; you can filter out anything posted/updated after a given air date. Don't want to see crossovers? Guess what -- you don't have to. Three clicks is all it takes to make them go away. ONLY want crossovers? They've got that option, too. In a hurry and only have a few minutes to read? Filter out everything over whatever word count you consider to be "too long." Absolutely can't stand this one character/trope/relationship? Exclude, exclude, exclude. And all they ask in return is that you tag your stuff properly. Incredible.

If you haven't seen the filters before, you might be finding fics via searching. Search is great (and you can get *really* specific with it), but it doesn't have the quick filter menu.

Tap on a tag you're interested in reading (just at the top of a fic, for example). That will bring you to a results page that shows every fic that uses that tag. To get rid of the ones you don't want, look right above the works list to the buttons and tap on Filters. (if you're on a computer, the filters will already be there, on the right hand side of your screen).

Once you've found the filter menu, it's like the OP said. There are a *lot* of options for you to choose from. You can tap on any of them to open up a sub menu with specifics.

For relationship/character/trope tags, AO3 will automatically show you the top ten most-tagged ones within the tag you're already looking at. If the one you want to exclude isn't in that list, you can type it into the "Other tags to exclude" box and AO3 will give you a dropdown to pick from. You can add a theoretically unlimited number of tags to your exclude list, but I think it's possible to have a list that breaks things eventually. I've never personally hit it? But I bet someone out there has.

You can also Include things you want to guarantee are tagged, but be careful with that filter. Include filters stack on top of each other, so if you Include 3 different tags, you'll only get fics that have all three of them tagged. You won't get ones that have*any* of them tagged. For more info on how to do an "any of these tags" filter, see this post over here.

Does anyone have a bit of good news to share? No development is too tiny.
