estimate! and say you currently still work at your first job, just choose how long you’ve been employed. i also understand there might be some nuance as far as maybe like promotions/transfers/etc etc etc, so feel free to explain things in the tags!

Saw a fic on AO3 this morning that pissed me off. Like, I can forgive poor grammar, I can forgive bland or stilted writing, I can forgive a whole lot of things, but bad characterization of my blorbos? Where it's blatantly obvious you've just read one crossover comic and are just using one of my favorite characters as a two-dimensional cardboard stand-in?

Fuck you, how dare.

So of course I I have to ask:

I have one main complaint with the episode "Interview with a Platypus." Not so much a complaint as a "I wish they had done this instead."

I feel like it would have been really cute if, instead of the translation of Perry's chatter just being the chatter noise played back, it was actually him saying he loved the boys or something.

I understand that they wanted to have Linda come there and see it and just not think much of it, but I will forever wish they had taken the opportunity for Perry to say "I love you" or something, and then the device got destroyed before they could ask anything else. (I suppose then they could just build another one to ask where he goes every day, but clearly they aren't all that worried about it and they don't seem to like to retread old ground unless they have a new twist for it)

Idk I just love, love, love how much Perry adores the boys and I wish it was very clearly demonstrated in the show that they knew it. I know it probably wouldn't have fit as well in the show at that point, but I WANT THE BOYS TO KNOW HOW MUCH PERRY LOVES THEM AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO REMEMBER IT!

A quick tutorial on how to Download Fics from AO3

After making this poll about the panic that comes when Archive of Our Own goes down, there seems to be a chunk of folks who didn't know they could download fics for offline use, or don't know how to go about it. Here's a quick tutorial for that.

You do not need an AO3 account (unless the fic you are trying to download is restricted to AO3 users only) you only need an internet connection and a device to download to, whether it's PC or a phone.

These instructions work for both desktop and mobile. At the top of the fic, where the chapter index is, there will be the download option on the right side, and an 'Entire Work' button the left side.

For One-Shots: Go ahead and click the download button.

For multiple chapter fics: In order to have the fic download all together instead of downloading each chapter individually, make sure you select the 'Entire Work' button. Like the names says, it displays the entire work on the webpage, and will download the entire fic with all it's chapters in the correct order when you go to download.

Click the download button. You've got a couple of options:

AZW3 - Amazon-developed ebook format that is designed for Kindles and Amazon's systems. Good if you want to read off of a kindle.

EPUB - Standard file format for Ebooks and is basically used as the default for pretty much most ebook readers. This is what I prefer to use when downloading to my phone.

MOBI - An older version of the AZW3. Older but standard as well.

PDF - Downloads the fics as a PDF. Can be read anywhere you can open a PDF.

HTML - Downloads an offline version of the exact webpage you are looking at. Fine if you want to keep the 'look' of AO3 but you can't change the text size or reading style like you can with ebook formats.

Not sure which one to download? Use EPUB since it's standard and readable by pretty much everything, retains images too.

You now have your fic downloaded to your device and can read it on whatever reading app you have. YAY!

Do keep in mind that these are offline files that do not synch with Archive. So if you download an ongoing fic that updates or is edited since you last downloaded, you will need to download it again to have the updated version.

Happy Reading!
