Is there an easy way to see all the fics people write for the prompts? Like an official hashtag or something?

Hi there! We tag all of our reblogs in the following format:

prompt: [prompt]

So if you find a microfic (that we've reblogged) and want see more you can click on the prompt tag at the bottom.

All of the current prompt's microfics (the ones we've shared so far - there are loads more in our queue!) can be found under the tag prompt: inhale. - citrusses (for the mods)

A SONG EXISTS FOR EVERY SINGLE SITUATION, ANY MOOD, ANY FEELING, AND INDIVIDUAL, ANY REASON.

you just gotta find it.

my advice for you is to search up the first word that comes to mind, may it even be a name, and then type “song” after it (if on YouTube, which I do advise, as it has a bunch of songs), then keep repeating that until you find something cool.

preferably even go to the channel and see what other music they have.

I say that it’s even best to search up a random word then follow it with “vinyl song” and click whatever videos have that little disc on them and then go to the channel. I found so many great songs that way that NOBODY knows about and yet I absolutely adore.

I want to step away from the art-vs-artist side of the Gaiman issue for a bit, and talk about, well, the rest of it. Because those emotions you're feeling would be the same without the art; the art just adds another layer.

Source: I worked with a guy who turned out to be heavily involved in an international, multi-state sex-slavery/trafficking ring.

He was really nice.

Yeah.

It hits like a dumptruck of shit. You don't feel stable in your world anymore. How could someone you interacted with, liked, also be a truly horrible person? How could your judgement be that bad? How can real people, not stylized cartoon bogeymen, be actually doing this shit?

You have to sit with the fact that you couldn't, or probably couldn't, have known. You should have no guilt as part of this horror — but guilt is almost certainly part of that mess you're feeling, because our brains do this associative thing, and somehow "I liked [the version of] the guy [that I knew]", or his creations, becomes "I made a horrible mistake and should feel guilty."

You didn't, loves, you didn't.

We're human, and we can only go by the information we have. And the information we have is only the smallest glimpse into someone else's life.

I didn't work closely with the guy I knew at work, but we chatted. He wasn't just nice; he was one of the only people outside my tiny department who seemed genuinely nice in a workplace that was rapidly becoming incredibly toxic. He loaned me a bike trainer. Occasionally he'd see me at the bus stop and give me a lift home.

Yup. I was a young woman in my twenties and rode in this guy's car. More than once.

When I tell this story that part usually makes people gasp. "You must feel so scared about what could have happened to you!" "You're so lucky nothing happened!"

No, that's not how it worked. I was never in danger. This guy targeted Korean women with little-to-no English who were coerced and powerless. A white, fluent, US citizen coworker wasn't a potential victim. I got to be a person, not prey.

Y'know that little warning bell that goes off, when you're around someone who might be a danger to you? That animal sense that says "Something is off here, watch out"?

Yeah, that doesn't ping if the preferred prey isn't around.

That's what rattled me the most about this. I liked to think of myself as willing to stand up for people with less power than me. I worked with Japanese exchange students in college and put myself bodily between them and creeps, and I sure as hell got that little alarm when some asian-schoolgirl fetishist schmoozed on them. But we were all there.

I had to learn that the alarm won't go off when the hunter isn't hunting. That it's not the solid indicator I might've thought it was. That sometimes this is what the privilege of not being prey does; it completely masks your ability to detect the horrors that are going on.

A lot of people point out that 'people like that' have amazing charisma and ability to lie and manipulate, and that's true. Anyone who's gotten away with this shit for decades is going to be way smoother than the pathetic little hangers-on I dealt with in university. But it's not just that. I seriously, deeply believe that he saw me as a person, and he did not extend personhood to his victims. We didn't have a fake coworker relationship. We had a real one. And just like I don't know the ins-and-outs of most of my coworkers lives, I had no idea that what he did on his down time was perpetrate horrors.

I know this is getting off the topic, but it's so very important. Especially as a message to cis guys: please understand that you won't recognize a creep the way you might think you will. If you're not the preferred prey, the hind-brain alarm won't go off. You have to listen to victims, not your gut feeling that the person seems perfectly nice and normal. It doesn't mean there's never a false accusation, but face the fact that it's usually real, and you don't have enough information to say otherwise.

So, yeah. It fucking sucks. Writing about this twists my insides into tense knots, and it was almost a decade ago. I was never in danger. No one I knew was hurt!

Just countless, powerless women, horrifically abused by someone who was nice to me.

You don't trust your own judgement quite the same way, after. And as utterly shitty as it is, as twisted up and unstead-in-the-world as I felt the day I found out — I don't actually think that's a bad thing.

I think we all need to question our own judgement. It makes us better people.

I don't see villains around every corner just because I knew one, once. But I do own the fact that I can't know, really know, about anyone except those closest to me. They have their own full lives. They'll go from the pinnacles of kindness to the depths of depravity — and I won't know.

It's not a failing. It's just being human. Something to remember before you slap labels on people, before you condemn them or idolize them. Think about how much you can't know, and how flawed our judgement always is.

Grieve for victims, and the feeling of betrayal. But maybe let yourself off the hook, and be a bit slower to skewer others on it.

Beyond the Build: How to Choose a Fit-Out Partner Who Gets It Right

Selecting a fit-out partner is more than comparing quotes or choosing based on portfolio images. It’s about ensuring your project’s purpose and your contractor’s mindset are in sync. The magic lies not just in construction but in collaboration. The best outcomes come from partners who understand your vision and help bring it to life with precision and care.

The Key to a Successful Fit-Out? Shared Expectations

A great-looking space can still miss the mark if the team building it isn’t aligned on priorities. Misunderstandings happen when one party is focused on cutting costs and speeding up delivery, while the other is invested in intricate finishes and longevity.

When expectations diverge, the result is often:

Inconsistent quality

Timeline issues

Unplanned expenses

Shared clarity on the goal from the start is what keeps projects on track and stress-free.

The Truth About Fit-Out Costs

Fit-out success isn't always about spending more—it’s about spending smart.

A budget-first approach can help meet deadlines, but may skip out on long-term durability or elegance.

A quality-focused route will involve more upfront cost but pays off in longevity, visual appeal, and fewer fixes later.

The crucial step is knowing what outcome you want and choosing a contractor who builds with that same objective.

How to Choose the Right Fit-Out Partner for Your Goals

1. Define Your Priority: Fast & Affordable or Premium & Long-Lasting? Ask yourself: Is this space temporary, or is it meant to make a lasting impression?

For rental properties or resale projects, go with someone who works efficiently and understands budget constraints.

For flagship offices or branded commercial interiors, invest in a partner who values design integrity and refined craftsmanship.

2. Ask the Right Questions Dig deeper than surface-level references. Ask things that reveal how they work, such as:

“Do you specialize in high-end builds or fast turnarounds?”

“Have you executed projects with similar financial goals?”

“How do you respond to mid-project design changes?”

Their responses will help you assess how well they’ll work with your evolving needs.

3. Look for Transparent Pricing Professionalism is reflected in transparency. Low-ball estimates might cut corners you can’t afford to fix later. Reliable contractors present pricing that explains what you're paying for, with no grey areas. That clarity builds trust before the first nail is even hit.

Why Contractor-Client Mismatches Fail

Case 1: The Budget-Driven Build That Backfired A client chose the lowest bidder expecting a luxury-grade office. The result?

Poor workmanship led to issues within weeks

Electrical shortcuts caused lighting problems

Repairs cost more than the original build

Case 2: High-End Work for a Low-Duration Project An upscale fit-out was delivered for a short-term café. While the build quality was exceptional, the overspend didn’t align with the café’s temporary nature.

Final cost was 40% over budget

ROI was underwhelming

These stories prove that even great work fails when goals and execution don’t match.

Our Promise: Honest Advice, No Matter Your Budget

At Decova, we offer more than design and build—we provide strategic clarity. Your vision drives everything we do.

For short-term needs, we’ll build efficiently and effectively.

For long-term or brand-enhancing spaces, we’ll guide you toward lasting value.

No gimmicks, no pressure—just honest input, so you know where every rupee goes and why.

3 Signs You’ve Found the Right Contractor

They take time to understand your project’s "why" before the "how."

They don’t force a one-size-fits-all method but tailor the approach to your context.

They’re confident in showing past work that mirrors different needs—not just premium ones.

These are signs of a builder who thinks like a partner—not just a provider.

Let’s Build What You Actually Need

Every space serves a purpose. Whether you're scaling fast, refreshing for resale, or launching something iconic—we’re here to help you make informed, confident decisions. Talk to us, and let’s make your goals the foundation of your space—not an afterthought.

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

How to Pick One of the Best Fence Contractors in Austin, TX

Choosing the right fence contractor in Austin, TX, is an important decision that can affect your home’s privacy, security, and appearance. With many options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. However, by focusing on a few key considerations, you can confidently select a contractor who will deliver quality, value, and peace of mind.

Why Choosing the Right Fence Contractor Matters

A fence is more than just a boundary—it’s an investment in your property. A well-built fence enhances privacy, keeps children and pets safe, and boosts your home’s curb appeal. Given Austin’s unique climate and expanding neighborhoods in Austin, it’s crucial to work with a contractor who understands local conditions and can recommend the best materials and designs for your needs.

Key Factors to Consider

Local Experience and Reputation

Austin’s climate—hot summers, occasional freezes, and clay-rich soil—can affect fence durability. Austin Fence Contractors with local experience know how to navigate these challenges and ensure your fence stands the test of time. Look for companies with a strong reputation in the community, positive customer reviews, and a proven track record of successful projects.

Range of Materials and Services

Top fence contractors offer a variety of materials, including cedar, pine, wrought iron, vinyl, and composite. Each fence material has its own benefits, so it’s important to choose one that matches your style, budget, and maintenance preferences. Many contractors also provide additional services such as custom gates, decks, and patio covers, helping you create a comprehensive outdoor living space.

Warranty and Workmanship Guarantees

A good warranty is a sign of a contractor’s confidence in their work. While the industry standard is a one-year warranty, some companies offer extended coverage. Always ask about warranty terms and what they cover. Reputable contractors stand behind their work and are committed to your satisfaction.

Turnaround Time and Project Management

Most residential fence projects in Austin are completed within a few days, but some contractors offer expedited services. Clear communication about timelines, project management, and expected completion dates is essential for a smooth experience. Look for contractors who are punctual, responsive, and transparent about their process.

Free Estimates and Transparent Pricing

Getting a free, no-obligation estimate is standard among reputable fence contractors. Some companies even offer same-day or next-day quotes. Transparent pricing—where all costs are explained upfront—helps you avoid surprises and stay within your budget. Simplified pricing models can also eliminate haggling and ensure fairness.

Financing Options

Fencing can be a significant investment, so many contractors offer financing options to make projects more affordable. Look for companies that provide interest-free financing or flexible payment plans, especially if you’re planning a large or complex project.

Licensing and Insurance

Always verify that your contractor is licensed and insured. This protects you in case of accidents or damage during the project. Locally-operated businesses often take extra care to maintain high standards and build trust within the community.

How to Vet Potential Contractors

Check Online Reviews and Testimonials

Websites like Angi, Yelp, Gator Directory, and Google Reviews provide valuable insights into a contractor’s reliability, quality of work, and customer service. Look for consistent positive feedback and pay attention to how companies respond to any negative reviews.

Ask for References

Reputable contractors should be willing to provide references from recent projects. Speaking directly with past clients can give you a sense of what to expect and help you gauge the contractor’s professionalism and work ethic.

Compare Quotes and Services

Don’t settle for the first quote you receive. Compare proposals from several contractors to ensure you’re getting the best value. Pay attention to the details—materials, labor, warranty, and any additional services included in the price.

Look for Direct Owner Involvement

Companies where the owners are actively involved in projects often deliver higher quality and better customer service. This can provide extra assurance that your project will receive the attention it deserves.

The Benefits of Working with Local, Family-Owned Businesses

Local, family-owned fence contractors often provide a level of personalized service that larger chains can’t match. They have deep roots in the community, understand local regulations, and are invested in building long-term relationships with their customers. These businesses are more likely to go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction and address any concerns promptly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Choosing Based on Price Alone

While budget is important, the lowest bid isn’t always the best choice. Cheap materials or inexperienced labor can lead to costly repairs down the road. Focus on value—quality, reliability, and customer service should be your top priorities.

Ignoring Local Experience

Contractors unfamiliar with Austin’s climate and soil may use materials or techniques that aren’t suitable for the area. Always prioritize contractors with local expertise and a proven track record in Central Texas.

Overlooking Warranties and Guarantees

A solid warranty is your safety net if something goes wrong. Make sure you understand what’s covered and for how long before signing a contract.
