#tag search

[destiel-more-like-im-dead-again]

Does anyone know if there’s a tag on ao3 for going in someone’s head? Specifically Deans? Like in 14x10 nihilism

[sprintingficcommentator]

Important piece of advise for all fic writers (and readers who are tag-searching) on AO3:

Due to natural sarcasm of fandoms (and fandom-related tags), if you want to write (or search) a fanfic in which a character is an ACTUAL good parent, PLEASE use BOTH the tags "[Character Name]'s A+ Parenting" (or similar) and "Good Parent [Character Name]" (or, if you want to be brief, just "[Character Name]'s Actual A+ Parenting").

Also, for the contrary, use BOTH the tags "[Character Name]'s A+ Parenting" (or similar) and "Bad Parent [Character Name]".

If you just tag "[Character Name]'s A+ Parenting", it can get confusing because you can filter in both options and it could make a fic search a tad longer and more tedious.

On the other hand (for searchers), remember that if you're not sure if the fic you're searching for contains both tags, DO filter only by the "[Character Name]'s A+ Parenting" tag, because while a lot of people specify in the work tags, again, many don't and you could be missing the work you are looking for. By the way, I recommend also searching the bookmark section, because people could tag a work with something the author did not and could further help your search.

Thank you!

A few additional tips from the replies:

@maybefandomstuff:

"%23" is a tag, "%2C" is a comma, and "%20" is a space. However, it doesn't seem to work if you try to use the symbols for the tag and comma themselves because it redirects and breaks itself. You will need to use the "%23" and "%2C" in the URL.

@dragonaire:

That's because, for URLs, a lot of non-alphanumeric characters are reserved for specific functions in address retrieval. So, they need to be encoded; otherwise, your browser with think you mean something different than what you mean and the URL will be navigated incorrectly.

Also @dragonaire:

These are basically hard-coded links to pages that exist. Tumblr just isn't giving us a way to access them via the search bar. The only thing the OP is doing is letting you know how to generate that URL yourself instead of being limited by the search bar. If this doesn't work for you, then either you mis-formed the URL, or the terms you're searching have special characters that need to be encoded, or the query you searched just doesn't have any results.

@dzamie:

This is an "and" search. Though if you have three tags, "#foo", "#bar" and "#foo bar", searching for "#foo, #bar" will return posts tagged both "#foo" and "#bar" as well as posts tagged "#foo bar" (it searches for the terms within tags, not for exact matches).

@neiratina:

In Firefox, you can simply leave the spaces blank and the browser will add them for you.

@isolatedphenomenon:

Typing "/search/[tag1]+[tag2]" works as well!

figured out a way you can search for posts that are tagged TWO things on a blog!!! feeling clever

for anyone else who didn’t know, this is the format!:

https://[blogURL].tumblr.com/search/%23[tag1]%2C%20%23[tag2]

remove the [brackets] when using it!

[callmeblake]

does anyone know a way to have tags show on my feed but NOT in tag search?

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

This is petty fandom salt, BUT... I've been chewing on this phenomenon that I've been calling "Fandom's Darling". It is related to things like "Author's Darling" and "Mary Sue / Gary Stu" and "Protagonist Halo" and all that jazz, where one character gains a peculiar narrative weight in a story.

"Author's Darling" is when a writer has a favorite character, and the world and all other characters sort of get... warped to put the Darling in the spotlight. It's most noticeable in TV shows with multiple writers, when a character you personally like suddenly has their previous characterization destroyed to make another character look good somehow. Every other character might become weirdly incompetent. The Darling's feelings are treated as The Most Important Feelings in any given situation. The logic of the fictional world seems broken past suspension of disbelief in order to validate this one character's beliefs or skillset or some other fantasy. And so on.

"Fandom's Darling" is what I've been calling the pattern where a fandom essentially crowns a New Protagonist for their fanfiction stories (it's often a side character rather than the original protagonist, but it can also happen to protagonists). This character becomes the self-insert for all sorts of indulgent fantasies, gaining special powers or backstories, and/or becoming the focus of extreme whump, and/or hooking up with all the various hotties, starring in all sorts of tropey AUs, and so on. They're not always an obvious Mary Sue version of themselves, but the character's original personality and interpersonal relationships tend to get warped or dropped completely, and other characters tend to become a little flat around them. I call it "Fandom's Darling" because it's not just one self-indulgent fantasy fic (you do you! Have fun!) with characterization choices that I don't vibe with (I have neither the time nor the desire nor the authority to police anything, I am just venting), but rather a prolific mini-fandom of sorts revolving around this empty doll / fanon version of the chosen vessel character, so it becomes a little unavoidable.

I am salty about this (mildly frustrated) (imagine a soft sigh of disappointment before I just go do something else) because you are FUCKED if you actually liked the canonical version of this character and their interpersonal relationships. It's almost worse than liking an obscure character that no one cares about. There's about a thousand fics starring your fave, but maybe only about a dozen of them are actually rooted in any kind of recognisable canon.
