So much for a new life, it seems
I can't stop thinking how weird some interactions at Rhodes Island might be after I Portatori dei Velluti
(Thoughts in fic format below)
Poor boy Luchino just set up his new shop and is trying to get his life under control again and someday, at this new place, he just comes face to face with the one client that kinda led up to the whole mess that ended with his Nonno dead.
Not to say that he blames Lappland for it, not exactly. But it was still her order that lead him to being in the wrong place at the wrong time and that lead up to him being stranded in the Venezia residence and because of that, Signorina Ingrid and his Nonno had to bail him out and stuff just got worse and worse and...
He tries to breath. It hurts. But Nonno taught him to be professional, and he'll be professional, even if his personal feelings make him feel uncomfortable with talking to that one old client.
Luchino is a hard worker. It doesn't take long for the new De Montano shop to become a well loved place in Rhodes Island.
One day he hears about a sewing club and the few people who are part of it. Not interested. Luchino kinda joined Rhodes Island because it seemed like a good place to start over, but... there's a throwaway comment that bugs him during his free time: "Oh, I didn't know that sewing was that popular with the Lupo youths from Siracusa right now. I guess times really do change, huh?"
And because of that comment, he finds himself standing akwardly in the sewing club, trying to not stare too much at the other Lupo cursing someone under his breath while fixing what looks like some kind of uniform.
He's never really escaping the mafiosi, is he?
(Later he finds out that Aosta is way busier keeping his pals out of trouble and is not — currently — part of a famiglia).
Luchino really wants to have a break from these kind of scares. Yes and thank you. But Fortuna has a thing out for him, it seems.
He's working in one moment, and in the next one, a Vulpo who looks way too familiar enters his workshop and now he's wondering if he's actually paying for all the times he didn't listen to Nonno in the past.
As much as he mistook Suzuran for Signorina Ingrid in that first moment, it's not really a big surprise when Suzuran enters his shop to pick up her order and Signorina Ingrid is with her.
He should really have an extra sanity fee, it seems.
But the Ingrid that enters his shop by her daughter's side doesn't even feel the same like the scary mafiosa who got him out of the Venezia residence in New Volsinii. That doesn't mean she's less deadly, and Luchino is keenly aware of that. He might have even forgot how to sew buttons again for a moment there.
A random visit from Ingrid is not even the worse scare he gets after setting up De Montano at Rhodes Island.
Oh no, the trophy goes to the Lupo girl dressed in red, who just stands there without saying a word and leaves just as she arrived: silently.
He later finds a doll ressembling his deceased Nonno right where the girl stood. His stomach twists in knots and he tries to ignore the small note in scrawly handwriting that came with it. He has no need of that.
In the end, he keeps the doll, but only because it reminds him of Nonno and of Nonno's wishes for him. He can't change the past or his childish wishes of being one of the big guys, but now he understands Umberto's feelings (at least a bit) and wants to make him proud.
Luchino gets his tools. His new life might not be easy, but he's willing to do his best with his craft. Just like his Nonno always wanted.

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction!
I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

would you guys believe me if i told you that someone came onto My Fanfic. Mine. Written By Me. and did not comment on the actual content of the fic that i poured my heart and soul into but yelled at me for using tags that were funny. you know. like the ones that get posted on this blog. the ones that get submitted and posted on my blog which is dedicated to Funny Ao3 Tags. can we believe that this happened to me of all people because i am still in shock.
there’s no harm in using funny ao3 tags as long as you’re actually Also tagging the whole thing correctly (which i did). and there’s also this great phenomenon called Don’t Click On Something You Don’t Like. also. while we’re at it. don’t leave comments on people’s fanfic if you’re going to be mean. this is basic fanfic etiquette.
BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CAME INTO MY CHAPEL OF THE ARTS AND YELLED AT ME FOR USING FUNNY TAGS MY GUY I RUN DEAR-AO3 I AM FUNNY TAGS HELLO

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:
Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are
Trauma - same reason as above
Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!
Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.
In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.
Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90’s who still know it). Or so it seems based on… a grumpy comment I got.
When you see an arrow like this:

It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.

It’s an accordion section/menu! It’s useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.
Here I’m using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don’t need them and don’t want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.
It’s still the user’s responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I’m just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)

A proposal
Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.
It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”
For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:
[gif of a white man saying “I don’t know what I expected” in a deadpan manner]
The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.
summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.
Examples:
summary: Bruce
summary: "Bruce Banner"
summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk
You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.
The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.
expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.
You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.
otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

as i grow older and age in fandom especially, i have waning patience for 2012 style fandom wars. i don't have time for the type of person who goes "why is this the 2nd top ship on ao3 when it bugs me", i don't have the energy to be friends with people who go "i specifically expressed dislike for this ship and people still write it?" and i have absolutely no time for someone who goes "this very personal trauma i have projected onto this random character and ship should be recognized and agreed by everyone else, otherwise they're bad people"

I did this to help illustrate a point I'm making in a different post, but I feel it's relevant above and beyond that specific context.
