Yeah. And the real treasures are the random fics you find along the way.
Those ones you never would've thought you'd like. But you tried and now? You can't get enough.
“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search
#ao3#seems legit#and is legit#repeat after me#ao3 is not a social media site#ao3 is not-for-profit#ao3 is an ARCHIVE#you search archives by looking#and sometimes based on recs from REAL PPL#because this is fandom#we don't need no damn algorithm

Dabi: I can’t fucking stand you.
Geten: You don’t have to stand, there’s a chair right there.
Dabi, sitting down: Fuck you.
#did i make a post about the geten reveal#if not. here you go#i think the beef between these two becomes a thousand times funnier when you realize that they're like super distantly related cousins#i think i had a really funny fanfic idea about the himura family trying to continue their inbreeding thing with dabi and geten#and dabi being in love with hawks and geten being in love with power are both extremely opposed to this#cant remember where i put it though ugh maybe it's on my general fandom acc#EDIT: I FOUND IT https://www.tumblr.com/azumasoroshi/715735885213220864?source=share#you have no idea how long i had to spend searching for that#went through my account and looked for geten (it was not there for some reason)#then aphro's account and looked for geten#then this account for geten#and finally went to one post about geten and found it was in april 2023 and looked through my archive for all posts in that time period#jesus christ#if anyone knows how to make my mainblog (this acc) into my sideblog and vice versa without deleting everything that would be cool

do you guys um. mods asleep anyone on the dash want to read 1.5k of roman history (tatd) fic i would be christening (haha) the tag for. and also help brainstorm with me to make it more than a scene but not an entire Plot 🙏
#not hockey but. i was possessed. that word count doesn’t even include the bullets points of me just screeching#i may have started to those about to die yesterday#and i may have immediately gone ‘ohhhh fuck okay’ about scorpus/tenax#to delete#liv in the replies#I am not about to post this on the archive because i would have to write god’s most unhinged author’s note to even explain in what way it#exists and ties into the existing show but like. ohhh i wanna do it. let me break a bottle on this one PLEASE i’m frothing at the mouth.#yes i need to rewatch the episodes also because i need to take detailed notes about the one (1) scene where they showed the steps up to the#platform of the circus maximus yes my search history looks mildly unhinged right now with just. me trying to find blueprints and googling#‘roman praetor short sword name’ ‘roman broach or pin cloth clasp name’ ‘circus maximus blueprint hall name cavern’ ‘roman floor material#it’s not that unhinged it’s just that it requires me to write like a 30k epic backstory in order to get to this climatic scene.#which i don’t want to do. but also I don’t think it makes sense without it you know? and considering I don’t know what the backstory would#be to even do a short-form summary of it do you see what the issue is 🫡

Whenever I see Kaladin fanart with him having a beard I can’t help but compare him to Odysseus or Jesus… especially the design of younger Ody by Wolfy 😭, even my friends agree with me.
#epic the musical#odysseus#stormlight archive#kaladin stormblessed#Especially the fanart with Kaladin sitting on a boulder or something in bridgemen attire#it pops us whenever you search Kaladin Stormblessed on google#That one looks too much like Odysseus and Jesus at the exact time.

I really hate how twt makes it impossible to rly look back at your acct past a certain date. Like when I wanna re-live the glory days of some past fandom on tumblr, I can go back on my archive. On twitter? You're fucked imo.
Man, I just wanna look back at my acct to see the fanart I reblogged when some specific genshin pv came out, but it's basically impossible. It makes me wish I downloaded a lot more art/fanart in general, bcs its so hopeless atp :/
#i mean its always been like this so#but i hate it#bcs twt was honestly the best place to find art imo#like soooooo much top quality fanart and original art#AND NOW ITS JUST LOST TO TIME#yeah it exists out there#but im fucked if i cant remember specifically#and my twt download folder is a graveyard of art i had actually made the step to save#aaaghhh it just makes me upset bcs i rly love my twt account#like i reblogged a lot of good art on there. way more than on here tbh#but yeah. irs rly impossible to look back on#LIKE WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A SOCMED THATS SO IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE#grrrrr idk it makes me angry#bcs ir feels like every other socmed is almost obsessed with archiving and being able to look back#like archive on here. insta you can go back all the way on someones acct and also archive your own stuff#basically every other socmed has better search functions#and yet the one where i felt like i experienced the best content is just. impossible.#its not even an x thing. its always been like this#and honestly if elon fixed that id prob be willing to go back on twt again 😭😭😭#catie.rambling.txt

absolutely hate that you can't just tap on the middle reblog in a chain and find that post on the poster's blog anymore. Like what if i want to ignore the last 2 unfunny posts on an otherwise good reblog chain. I'm not gonna scroll 3 years back on some random person's blog to find it smh
#idk if this is just on mobile or not but#OH ALSO while im bitching i hate that you cant look at tumblr blog archives on a browser on your phone now?#i used to do that to find old posts on my own blog but now#every time it's like#GO GET THE APP#and im like I ALREADY HAVE THE APP#AND YOUR APP'S SEARCH FUNCTION IS ALWAYS DRUNK#I INTENTIONALLY EXITED THE APP AND CAME HERE SO I COULD FIND THE SHIT MYSELF GOOD SIR#p

wait should i make pinterest and pixiv and deviantart profiles and absolutely commit to saturating the digital kisara art space.
#not art#lmao look at me refusing to use twitter EVEN TO POST KISARA like its DIRE out there#idk the websites above just function better as art archive? it feels like?#the tumblr search is so limited. website wide AND blog wide. it all has limited shelf life#i have no way of reaching any post anyone made by using kisara tag in 2014 here. its dumbluck it finds you#but if im not mistaken deviantart is good w that?#idk man#might do it as a bit lmaoooo

Animation World's September 1997 issue had Sam & Max on the cover, and talked about the upcoming cartoon at several points (such as the program used for the show, Animo). It also asked Steve Purcell what ten films he'd take with him if stranded on a deserted island.
The pages mentioning Sam and Max are under the read more, if you wanna see the whole magazine PDF yourself you can see it here.
Sources: Animation World Magazine - September 1997 PDF link: Here.
#the cartoon#magazine stuff#the website for this magazine (both random archived ones and the official one) still have articles with the exact text and images in them u#but its really nice to have the magazine pdf link still here#which from my own understanding (that could be wrong) isn't available directly on their website#you gotta look for it specifically and find the link on a google search#anyway here it is!

I hate twitter so fucking much.
#I wanted to look at some fanart from a specific artist of a specific character.#I look at her twitter and my heart sinks because it's not there. Did she mass-delete? Wait all these posts are from this year.#And no more posts will load. Weird. I look up the advanced search features and put in an older date range.#Hooray! Some art of the character shows up! It's not the one I want though so I scroll down. Posts eventually stop loading.#I fiddle with the search some more and discover that if I want to actually look at all this person's fanart#I have to re-fill in the search for a range of like 15 consecutive days because she posts so much#Twitter why can't I just look at old posts? Why stop loading? Why not add pages if someone has too many posts for you to load?#Why do you hate search functions and archival so badly Twitter?#In order to browse this person's fanart for the one I'm remembering I would have to re-enter or re-type the search terms by date#a minimum of 97 times (more if the date ranges aren't exact). I did the math.#I am so furious right now.

So glad Joseph Goebbles kept a stream of conscious diary so we have confirmation that he was as insufferable as he looked
#little rat looking mf literally congratulated himself for thinking to use movies as propoganda#he literally was like ‘how smart of me!’#deadass read it#‘Goebbles diary free’ and you get like ten#from the internet archive#before you buy any book I implore you to search it there I have not had to buy so many books#anyway fuck Goebbles little rat looking mf#rae’s rambles

Okay so like I've been reworking a tma oc of mine who was inspired by spoilers that I heard about season 3 but she ended up kinda boring so I decided to rework her a bit and that included finally giving her a name.
And the name I chose makes me feels very clever XD (also tma spoilers for info learned in season 3)
Okay so context, she's aligned very heavily with the hunt. She's someone who hunts monsters and avatars as a sport and gets a tattoo for every kill she gets based around which entity the creature was from and what powers the monster had.
She sees herself as being on a path like Adelard or Gerry. Even though she definitely is becoming a hunt avatar.
Obviously I decided for her personality and just general vibes/she's in denial about not being an avatar but she's clearly a hunt avatar, I decided to get inspired and base her of a honeybadger.
That includes her hair yes, it's black with dyed streaks of white that sometimes looks grey
So when it came to her name I had no idea where to start. Since I'm horrible at naming ocs (I named a dnd oc that was a spore druid agarix, I thought that was clever). I wanted her to have a nice name at least. Maybe one she picked herself. Then I looked something up about the honeybadger and I found her name.
Rulers of this hellsite, I called her:
Mellivora
I feel very clever when it also feels very obvious XD I think I'm cheeky and funny with the name and I love this oc so much now.
Don't ask why I reworked her, it's a lil surprise that includes a corruption oc I made too
#tma#tma oc#the magnus pod#the magnus archives#adelard dekker#tma gerry#the hunt#writing memes#writing mood#oc names#im bad at naming#i think im clever#if you wanna look up where i got the name from#search her name and you’ll find why XD

about to be sooo nosy so. my apologies. but. morgan frost? girlfriend? do share (or don’t! again this is so nosy i’m sorry)
for legal purposes i can neither confirm nor deny anything about morgan and his girlfriend but afaik i think he’s single right now? at one point (within the past four years 😭) he did for sure have a girlfriend and that is the extent of my wag knowledge
#anon PLEASE i am the nosiest person in the world i understand i want to know everything. ever. however#because i have no evidence and don’t want to spread unfounded rumors i will state for the jury i am not a gossip blog#& anything i say should be taken with a grain of salt. or a vsco deep dive & also maybe a dig into the flyers media archives. wrt UNfounded#but i will gossip in your dms because it’s a vital method of communication and important for community building.#also i’m like 95% sure i just osmosed the fact that morgan and his girlfriend broke up sometime earlier in the hockey season from someone#else (probably flyerskay) and accepted it at face value like absolutely i’d trust kay with my life. she would never lie to me and therefore#i can’t be lying to you. i can’t remember morgan’s gf’s name tho but i can like. vividly remember her artsy possessive vsco photos 😭 help#that man posts more about tom petty than he does anyone else in his life besides joel so really how would we know if hes posted her less#the answer is we wouldn’t and i want to say her name is katie SO bad but i know that’s tyson’s gf it’s like. victoria or stacie or somethin#& i want to see if SHE deleted all her vsco pictures of him bc that’s how we’d know they broke up. frosty stop following so many girls#i want to try and find her and see (she’s a model and she was public and had her vsco linked so all of this is public info btw.)#ANON I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA OANDJRIWNDHOWHDB IT IS 1:38 AM AND I HAVE JUST MANAGED. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD ANON HOLD ON#BUCKLE YOURSELF THE FUCK IN FOR AN ANSWER YOU DID NOT ASK FOR BECAUSE THIS IS A R I D E AND I NEED TO YELL ABOUT IT I CAN’T MY GOD I CANNOT#B R E A T H E i’m about to start crying again but the backstory is that. i have had a fic that i have been working on for literal years.#my version history says March 15 2021 and it started in my notes app about 3000 words before that and it’s based off of a tweet i thought#calla had quoted and just said ‘Joel’ about but in my notes i never#saved the actual tweet and many times throughout the years i have gone back and advanced searched every version of joel and joelle and bee#and behavior on calla’s blog that i could possibly think of and just assumed like. it must’ve gotten deleted or the account suspended and i#could never remember the wording well enough to just google it but believe me i tried and put in every variation. never found it in 4 years#i try periodically. fast forward to about twenty minutes ago i am looking through kay’s twitter and searching vsco because i SWEAR she has#the picture of frosty’s gf’s fingernail marks in the back of frosty’s shoulders i am talking about / I can’t find her vsco linked anywhere#but i’m like ok. search up a couple other things and think about who might have it and on a WHIM look up vsco in ash notthequiettype’s acct#no results okay whatever i think about what else could maybe pull it up for me so I have SOMETHING for you. I search frosty. I scroll. GUES#WHAT I FUCKING FIND FROM NOVEMBER 13TH 2020 it is THE FANTASTIC TWEET THAT SPAWNED 16K OF NOTES & FIC & A SPREADSHEET OF JOEL’S CLASSES#AND I NEVER WOULD’VE FOUND IT AGAIN IF NOT FOR THIS!!! LOSING IT!!! by it I mean my mind and my sleep schedule!!! it’s 2AM now good night!!#liv in the replies#morgan frost#philadephia flyers
