2. go to your ao3 “works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “additional tags.” what are your top 3-5 most used tags? do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

the three tags are: character study, relationship study, and smut

and before october, i'd say the last one isn't accurate, but... i think it is now. i think all three of these are an extremely accurate representation of my writing habits 😂

24. are there any easter eggs in your fic, and if so, what are they?

i'm not sure if they'd count as "easter eggs", per se, but sometimes i'll drop some obscure-ish comic references in! in my latest fic, for instance, i dropped in a reference to that time that vance astrovik was accused of killing his father and defended by foggy nelson during the new warriors run from the 90s.

37.  promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). what do you like about it?

i think it's a little hard to tell for me about traction, because i write a lot of rare pairs! so really that just makes me grateful for anyone who reads them ❤️ that said, i think i will use this to promo standing at a broken altar (asking if we feel relief) again, because i still hold this one dear. as a character, matt murdock is an infinite well of potential for character studies, and in this case, it was really rewarding to write the character study with attention to faith in dark times — and it's something i actually plan to expand on in another story, after i finish a couple that i'm working on right now.

questions for fic writers!

Yasss your majesty please do share older Quiobi works, I'm very recent to this ship and the amount of Quiobi artist who deactivate saddened me and the only way to find their art is via other's reblog, they are basically impossible to find by search/tags only and your blog is *chef kiss*

😂😂😂 thank you, and welcome! pls enjoy all the art I can find! and if you happen to spot some broken tags/links pls tell me about them 👀🙏

I think maybe the saddest thing about the deactivated accounts is that, in some cases, it probably wasn't even the artist's choice. Some people went on hiatus or moved on, and they're living their best life! But in roughly 2019, tumblr did a massive sweep and marked many posts nsfw. The filters were not great at the time—you got to see some pretty bizarre things flagged.

You could contest the flag! Some people just missed the window of appeals. Some of my favourite artists were/are inactive for 2+ years.

I mention a couple of interesting cases on my Error Log page. One of the more upsetting examples to me is this art by @schaloime (here's their twitter!), which is no longer accessible on tumblr at all. I know I've reblogged it more than once—it's completely missing from my archive and anyone else's. rol-rol's account was plainly deleted, though you can still find some pages through the wayback machine. Tumblr structure being what it is, it's incredibly difficult to archive an infinite-scroll, multi-page blog, so these posts are sadly limited.

And then there's the blogs that were hacked and taken over by porn/spam bots 😔

While I try not to repost art (simple enough) or reblog reposted art (somewhat slightly trickier sometimes), eventually I may begin reaching out to ask people if they mind me sharing their works. I've been shy about it, for various reasons, but it's under consideration.

Anyway!!! Always happy to have new ppl discovering the ship! Enjoy the lovely art 🥰❤️
