Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

Second kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tHMjbb6/second-kudos.png" alt="second kudos">

Third kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/52bggQH/third-kudos.png" alt="third kudos">

nth kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/6y7qGtC/nth-kudos.png" alt="nth kudos">

yet another kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wKtcj0s/yet-another-kudos.png" alt="yet another kudos">

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

a fic ive loved for ages recently updated, and i was so excited to read the new chapter, only to discover basically the entire thing was ripped off of another favourite fic of mine. structure and sentences, this thing was clearly plagiarised. i wasn't sure what to do, so i contacted the author of the plagiarised fic on here, with screenshots of their fic vs the plagiarised fic. that was weeks ago, and they haven't responded. i'm now doubting if i've done the right thing - if you notice that someone has plagiarised someone else's work, should you report it to the archive? should i have just not said anything, or should i check that the author is even receiving tumblr dms from someone theyre not following? (i am not particularly tumblr literate and honestly don't know how i would know if they had received the message). i debated commenting on the plagiarised fic calling the author on it, but guiltily i still actually really enjoy the work. any ideas for what to do in a situation like this? should i try and contact the author in a different way?

If you think that you've spotted plagiarism, you can report it to the Policy & Abuse Committee (PAC). Go to the fic you're reporting and scroll down to the footer, then select the link for Policy & Abuse reports.

Include the author name and title of the fic you're reporting as well as the author name and title of the fic you think is the original being plagiarized. Also give PAC the chapter(s) you think were copied in each fic (so that some poor volunteer doesn't have to wade through 50K in two fics to find where they match).

PAC keeps all reports confidential, so your name will be left out of it when they investigate. That also means that you won't be told the details of the investigation. You'll just can an email when it's resolved. They'll also email you if they need additional information for the report, so make sure whatever email address you use in the form is one that you check.

PAC recently wrote a news post about plagiarism and copyright infringement with more information in it, and you can read that here.

earlier my husband opened our snack cabinet and something fell out and he put it back and then a second later i heard him say very quietly “no, it chose me” and then he took it and walked away

i feel like an often-overlooked downside to 10-episode seasons and the death of the "monster of the week" format is that we get way less whump variety nowadays. used to be that there'd be dozens of opportunities for your fave to get punched or kidnapped or hypnotized or what have you. these days if it doesn't fit into the main plot, it just doesn't happen. this is a tragedy. we should be protesting.

i'm trying to flirt with this noblewoman but she keeps asking me to demonstrate my flawless sword technique and i don't think she realizes how much effort i'm putting in to make my tits bounce while doing so

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

[katwriteswitcherthings]

Some people in fandom desperately need to become obsessed with something SUPER niche and obscure. Something with like 10 active fans at the very most. Something with only 6 fics if you're very lucky, all but one written by the same dedicated fan. Something where when you do find a fan account, it's been innactive for years. Something that's not available on streaming and its only physical release was never released in your country. Let it humble you.

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.
