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.

Our Flag Means Death S2 spoiler!!

So, how are you feeling after e6s2?

Sometimes I forget that lgbtq love and relationships are something that you can just do now in tv. I keep expecting to have to read into the subtext or just be straight up queer baited to the point where even when I’m watching something that I KNOW has queer relationships, I’m surprised when they actually make it important to the plot.

Sirius being a dog. Loyal to a fault, easily excitable. A pet. Something to keep around for companionship, even becoming a part of the family. Man’s best friend.

Remus being a wolf. Wild, territorial, unpredictable. Dangerous. An animal to be shot on sight, lest it turn its attention to you. Only fit to be around its own kind.

You’re fooling yourself if you think Remus doesn’t see it the same way. Sirius is the safer, more fun version of him.

bro had an entire☝️hold on, she might be onto something....huh. moment 

can’t believe we got a canonical fanfiction-flavored “oh…” moment of love realization from Crowley.

hey, can i say something

everyone is aching over the fact that crowley and aziraphale were (possibly) in love while they were angels. But, may I offer an alternate possibility?

crowley didn't care about aziraphale when they were angels. NOW STAY WITH ME HERE. for their first interaction, crowley couldn't care less about aziraphale. while, yes, he was busy creating a universe which is a bit more exciting BUT I think that aziraphale's feelings were one sided without him even realizing it.

imagine azriaphale taking every opportunity to be around crowley, while he didn't even realize. azriaphale falling over himself whenever the angel looks his way and crowley only caring about himself. LIKE EVERY OTHER ANGEL.

which makes aziraphale's offer to make him an angel again was so heart breaking (assuming crowley remembers before the fall), practically telling crowley he preferred things before crowley even fully noticed him. but aziraphale doesn't realize that because of how blinded he was.

maybe I'm talking absolute bs, but I've been thinking about this for so long.

aziraphale recognizing sandalphon from sodom and gomorrah. crowley's coworker trying to out him with help from some nazis in 1941. aziraphale giving crowley the holy water in the same year gay sex was legalized in the UK. muriel being dressed as a cop when they came to monitor aziraphale and snoop about a lesbian romance and crowley asking if theyre interested in humans falling in love and saying he knows for some members of the police force thats a bit of a hobby

i hate hate hate hate hate the god damn coffee theory (GO 2 spoilers)

I might not be saying anything that hasn't already been said but I gotta get this off my chest.

Aziraphale loves Crowley. He loves him more than he knows what to do with. But love isn't something celestial beings do. Love is for humans. THAT is why he hangs out with Crowley so much, he loves him and the only way he knows how to get that across is to spend time with him. Again, something that other celestial beings don't do. We see in heaven that its miraculously empty and no one really seems to "hang out" unless they need to for their jobs. Same with hell, demons are constantly stabbing each other in the back and only helping each other when it is mutually beneficial. Spending time with each other, trusting each other is how they show their love. Because of that it goes unspoken for so long.

Crowley, by far, hangs around humans much more than Aziraphale does, and he generally understands them better. He's incredibly invested in Earth and its inhabitants. Over the thousands of years he's been around he's seen them fall in love, holding hands and sneaking kisses when no one else is watching. It's something (I believe) that he deeply wants to experience. Secretly, I think Aziraphale does too.

But the issue lies in Aziraphale's constant struggle, between the two parts of himself: Duties to Heaven and his Love of Earth. Which is why, he hangs around with Crowley so much. They form some strange understanding with each other, while also managing to keep each other at an arms length. Because Crowley is good company and all but Aziraphale only hangs out with him because he believes that Crowley is actually good, instead of the blood thirsty and cruel demons he is accustomed to. BUT, when it really come down to it, when ever anything important arises, one that challenges how Aziraphale has been living he always falls back to the basics.

He is an angel and Crowley is a demon. There is nothing that either of them can do to erase that form Aziraphale's mind and it is the issue with seeing everything in black and white. Its not that he doesn't love Crowley as much as Crowley loves him, its that Crowley has been blazing his own trail for thousands of years. He constantly tows the line between what he's supposed to do and what he wants to do. Aziraphale doesn't have that luxury, not with the way he was taught to think.

So when Crowley kisses him, god, does he want to give in. He wants to experience something he'd watched humans do since the beginning of time. But, nothing will ever be able to erase the fact that Crowley is a demon and Aziraphale is an Angel. So when he gets the opportunity to bring Crowley back to angelic status, he jumps at it. Finally they can be together. There is nothing wrong with two angels being together, not anything that he can see. Its their chance, their one chance at something. But Crowley doesn't want it.

Its a rejection of everything Aziraphale is and he can't see why Crowley wouldn't want to come to heaven. Aziraphale want to help and do good, this is his chance and he won't pass it up. Eventually Crowley will come around...right? He always does. All Aziraphale can do is hope because he can't let his chance at doing some real good, to try and shape things so that everyone is happy.

So don't you dare tell me that Aziraphale went back to Heaven because of something as simple as a miracle channelled into a coffee. Or that he didn't love Crowley as much as Crowley did for him. He loves him more than anything he just doesn't know what to deal with that. Both of them are so so clueless that it causes them pain. (And the entirety of the good omens fandom).

iuhfiwehfi i'm going to be sick

hey did anyone else realize that in s1 when aziraphale and crowley help anathema with her bike and aziraphale says "let there be light" because it was dark and we all thought is was a funny cheesy thing for him to say but now we know HE WAS ACTUALY QUOTING CROWLEY.

No? just me?

Aziraphale: I must help this wee babe who knows so little about the world. I will help and support my new child.

Crowley: This small idiot is so funny. I will be entertained for weeks.
