Reunion kiss, after Vaati’s defeat!

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.

Bro you are not ready for what I’m gonna post in approximately five seconds

greedow GVSTW spooning now now now

They’re both very tired after the final fight against Vaati— just fall right into bed.

I crave more Gvstw AU lore >:) what did Vaati do to make Shadow realize he needed to leave?

I really enjoy answering lore questions, there’s a lot going on in this AU and the characters and events are not remotely 1:1 recreations of the movie so a lot of this I came up with myself!

Trigger warnings for narcissistic abuse:

Shadow stayed with Vaati all throughout college, with Vaati frequently switching from being hostile to lovebombing Shadow, basically guilting him into staying by making him believe that ‘nice’ Vaati was the ‘real’ Vaati, and Shadow had to stay and listen to him to keep him stable. He left after Vaati started physically pushing him around, grabbing him and leaving bruises, and ran away pretty much the second they graduated.

Three to four years of constant emotional manipulation leaves a lasting scar.

@fuck-em-up-your-grace Shadow and Green are 23 in this AU! The rest of the cast is around those ages too.

[singingvio]

Missing someone who badly hurt you is… unfortunately common, and difficult to deal with.

GVSTW Shadow is all too aware of that

[singingvio]

Genderbend fun

[singingvio]

He is NOT pregnant!!

[singingvio]

This is not remotely canon to my AU, Green doesn’t want to dye his hair. But I had to draw something lighthearted real quick. To lift my own spirits.

[singingvio]

This one is a little darker than usual.

Pictured: Blue getting dumped by Shadow back in high school, Shadow finally deciding to run away from Vaati six months before meeting Green, and Green and Vio’s break up a year ago.

Had to draw this scene from the movie for my AU. Shadow is moronsexual

[singingvio]

Wait when did you get sold on Greedow?

I don’t think Green gets freaky enough compared to the other colors so I paired him with the freakiest of all /j

In all honesty it’s been a more recent development in the past few months, it’s quickly risen to one of my favorite ships! Because, Green and Blue butting heads and fighting together is really fun, Green and Zelda is a classic knight x princess relationship, Vio and Shadow are quite the evil power couple. But I’m a huge sucker for ‘hero who is inherently good’ x ‘villain who believes they’re anything but good.’ There’s angst potential there. As well as, if we’re talking in the canon universe, a lot of potential for Green to find security in his identity as not Link with Shadow, who could potentially not see him as The Hero, but as Green, his annoying and charming nemesis.

And in the context of my two super Greedow-centric AUs (or Linkdow, in Unfinished Business, but Green x Shadow becomes the bigger focus later on), for UB, it’s interesting in how they don’t know each other, but Shadow being created as a direct opposite leaves their souls linked, their devotion to one another is quickly formed and dangerous, but full of admiration and affection. It’s toxic, but will get healthier as they find themselves and each other.

And in my Scott Pilgrim AU, Green really fits the role of ‘a totally average guy,’ and Shadow fits the role of ‘cool person too good for the average guy,’ except… not really. Shadow has a lot of baggage, a serial heartbreaker who runs away from his problems. And Green is anything but normal, when it comes to Shadow. He’s willing to constantly fight for his hand, not just because he’s the boy of his dreams, but because, over time, he shifts from being an unattainable desire for Green into being a friend. A friend Green still puts up on a pedestal for a while, looking at him with rose tinted glasses, but still a friend who he genuinely likes for things other than his looks and unattainability. Shadow isn’t used to being fought for here, just fought over. It opens his eyes to genuinely falling in love with Green, he sees a potential future where he’s with this man that he saw sparks with for the first time, his soulmate, where he’s happy and settled down and no longer running. Where he’s safe.

And then they break up for a while but I can explain that in another ask or something this is getting really long lol

Hope that answers your question!

Green Vs The World: official promotional image

I worked on this for a few days and I’m so so proud of it!! I’m proud of this AU in general but there’s a lot of stuff going on here in this piece, symbolism and designs and vibes and everything and it makes me grin. I pulled characters from a bunch of other Zelda games for this bc the Four Swords roster isn’t nearly large enough lol

Let’s see if you can recognize them all! (Don’t look at the tags that’s cheatinggg)

thinking about the time i found my boyfriend reading fanfiction and i asked him “i didn’t know you read fanfiction” and he said “i don’t. this is the first one i’ve read front to back” and i (who had written fanfic before and was shocked to find out he had never read the full stories) was like “oh wow what is it?” and he looked at me like a dog who definitely ate the toilet paper and is trying not to look guilty as he said in the most pathetic voice “…sun and moon x reader fanfic”
