In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

So I got inspired and made a silly animated music video featuring my love of tea and purposefully misheard lyrics (I know "ti" means "you" and not "tea" but pfffft)

This is my first attempt at animation and therefore a bit wonky but it was a lot of fun to make (it's amazing what you can do with free online tools nowadays...!)

Anyways, I hope you like it, fellow tea lovers and baby boos :D

I have no better explanation of these clips other than they bring me joy

there's a frog species nicknamed "banjo frogs" because their call kind of sounds like a string being plucked! that's already fun, but they also have another, even funnier nickname... pobblebonk

i think that's just delightful

actually there's a lot of frogs/toads with fun names and appearances! like the motorbike frog, the hairy frog/horror frog/wolverine frog, banana frog, pumpkin toadlet, horned frog, paradoxical frog/shrinking frog, turtle frog, any flying frog, common Surinam toad/star-fingered toad, and amazon milk frog!

not gonna add fun facts for all of them because i'm not about to make you read a wall of text afajkfjkdsfj i have self-restraint bigger than my need to talk about frogs at all times

Banjo frog is rEAL OVO I honestly throught it was "just" a meme that a carpenter had made (seen a tiktok a bit too much about queers loving banjo frogs x'D hahaha) omg that's so cool I love that :D!!! 🐸

Horror frog OVO? Banana frog? MILK FROG? okay these are cool and silly and I love that x'D

Thank you for sharing all these wonderful frog names 🐸🐸I dig them a lot :D <3

Mayday I'm drowning in this sparkling The others are gone I stayed in this bar Here I am Me and Celine Dion Smart ones have left to sleep I'm doomed to party Here I am

I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty Please lay that afterparty Where the hell are my dudes

I'm getting pissed off Scared that the afterparty plans won't work out Truly anxious, need to get an address As the bouncers are rushing me So pick up now, saatana! (The number cannot be reached right now) Perhana! How come nobody has time to hangout today either The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face This club is as empty as its viewer

Mayday I'm drowning in this sparkling The others are gone I stayed in this bar Here I am Me and Celine Dion Smart ones have left to sleep I'm doomed to party Here I am

I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty Please lay that afterparty Where the hell are my dudes

I don't want to go home How hard can it be to take that task? They're pecking, knocking Saying get away from here and try to lead me out I grab the phone again (The number you have dialed cannot be reached) Perhana! At home there's nobody and there's nobody to text to The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face This club is as empty as its viewer

Mayday I'm drowning in this sparkling The others are gone I stayed in this bar Here I am Me and Celine Dion Smart ones have left to sleep I'm doomed to party Here I am Me and Celine Dion

the nuisance of our language is stunning

I think one of my favorite aspects of Phineas and Ferb is that the entire cast is a perfect example of the One Degree of Separation trope.

By it's very nature, I literally can't state how many connections each character has to each other or I'd be here all day, but it's wild.

I will talk about my favorite little example of it, though. So, Stacy knows Perry's secret identity thanks to a technicality stopping her from getting mind wiped after seeing him in action. That on it's own is funny, but she's also friends with Candace (Perry's owner who he needs to hide his identity from) and Vanessa (who also knows his identity as he fights her dad), which is hilarious. In this trio of teen girls only Candace doesn't know that her pet is a secret agent.

wanted to do my own take on these guys...
