In German there's this saying: "Damals standen wir am Abgrund. Heute sind wir schon einen Schritt weiter."

It roughly translates to: "Back then we were standing at the abyss. Today we are one step farther."

I feel like this fits.

Can’t wait for, like, 2025 when we look back on the 2018/2019 era and say “hey, remember when we were all really freaking depressed? That was a crazy time! Glad we aren’t like that anymore”

Titans Tower AU

Because I read fluffy alternative fanfics 😊

Jason: And Batman just gave Robin to the next random kid!

Tim: Technically, I'm not a random kid and he didn't just give me Robin. I forced him.

Jason, after a confused pause: Batman has never done something he didn't want. How would forcing him even work?

Tim, straightfaced: Blackmail.

Jason, sputtering: Blackmail? You blackmailed Batman?

Tim shrugs.

Jason, falling to his knees in front of Tim: Teach me your ways!

Tim, grinning: Sure! Lesson #1: How to stalk an overly paranoid furry. Bonus points for paparazzoing him.

what is an RSS feed and why does AO3 have them?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and the word syndication here is referring to broadcasting or transferring or otherwise sharing information. I first encountered it as a way to aggregate all of the news sites and blogs I wanted to read that were scattered all over the internet.

You might already be familiar with tumblr blogs that start with ao3feed - these are automated blogs that create a new post every time a work is posted in the feed(s) that they track. You can follow those tumblr blogs and learn about new works that way. They've subscribed to the RSS feed so that you don't have to.

If you wish that you could get push notifications from AO3 on your phone instead? The RSS feed will allow you to do that. You just need to get an account with an RSS reader first. Here are a few that are free:

Feedly 

NewsBlur 

Inoreader 

They each have slightly different features, so depending on the search and filter options you want or how you like your information displayed, you might like one better than the others. All three work on the web, on iOS, and on Android.

Once you have a feed reader, tap on the RSS Feed button at the top of the tag results page that you want to get notifications for and open up the XML file. If it downloads instead, try opening in a new tab or just copying the link address. You'll want to grab a url that looks like this: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/9835/feed.atom (this is the url for Kirk/Spock, if you're curious)

That feed.atom ending on the url is what you're looking for. When you open your RSS reader and create a new feed, you can use that url to set it up.

Once it's set up, you'll be able to see everything currently available in that tab, listed out in your reader. Just like the ao3feed tumblr blogs, the reader will show you the title, author, summary and tags for each fic, and then it will provide you with a link to read the work on AO3.

It will also notify you every time a new work is posted to that tag. You can adjust your notifications to suit you.

Not every tag on AO3 has an RSS feed, but it's worth checking out if you've never tried it before.

Editing to add: the AO3 FAQ also talks about these feeds

Tim seven year olds, and standing in the middle of Crime Alley' s main street: SAY UNCLE

Danny, an innocent bystander, walking by: Uncle? Is that kid playing with his imaginary friends-

Tim appears at his side faster then the Flash: You said uncle. So now you're my uncle. Hello. I love you.

Danny: *Screams*

Tim: My dad does the same thing when I sneak up on him. You must be my uncle on my father's side! This is great! I'm going to tranquilize you now, but when you wake up, you'll be home.

Danny: Wha- *Thump*

If Tumblr really wanted to break the entire website, they should give us Boops on March 15th.

We all know fanfic authors love comments. But I just have to say:

I work at a public library in Germany and comments like this make my day, too! 🖤🩶🤍💜

[ID: A 5 star comment made 26 minutes ago saying: "Such open and friendly people! They let you put your preferred names on the Book lending card! Very kind if you are patient with them too!"]

Yeah, sometimes I need "My poor little guy needs ALL the hugs and he's better gonna get them!" and sometimes I feel like "Is there a situation so unhinged that my favourite feral little raccoon of a guy can give every other character an existential crisis?"

2 genres of fanfiction:

1) put that guy into situations

2) take that guy OUT of situations for the love of GOD let them REST

Kon, about Tim: I mean, yeah, he's clearly mentally ill. But you gotta admit it's a little charming watching him walk around pretending like he's not.
