You Know, Yeah Please, Let This Be True.

Agreed. It's just something about "fuck it, I'm gonna enjoy myself attitude"

i went from not having kissed anyone to being a full-on bisexual in less than 24 hours.

being bisexual is the best.

How. The. Heck. Did they go through multiple dancing lessons without having The Conversation? Like literally how

Skittles, your guess is as good as mine, to be very honest.

Like, can you imagine how much Sherlock was dying inside, but still doing it all in hopes that John would ask Sherlock for one last dance at the wedding; and John just trying to convince himself that it’s for the best that he never told Sherlock… that he’s actually happy with Mary?

Can you imagine the wistful touches, hands “accidentally” slipping to the nape of a neck, or under a shirt on the hip, or at the top of a bum?

Can you imagine the glow of candles reflecting in each other’s eyes, each staring deep into the other’s eyes, wanting to say all the things they meant to say?

Can you imagine Sherlock being able to feel John’s pulse in John’s palms, and John seeing it on Sherlock’s neck?

Can you imagine the words ALMOST slipping out, but both too scared to lose what they have? Trying to convince themselves that this is enough?

Can you imagine them struggling to separate each night? Foreheads touching, fingers brushing against knuckles and thumbs rubbing on palms? Breathing each other’s air, lips SO CLOSE that they can almost taste the kiss that they will never share?

Can you imagine how long John takes to leave waffling between the door and his jacket, and then lingering on the stairs as the stare at each other, watching each other as John leaves? And Sherlock watches John leave down the street until John is out of sight?

Can you imagine?

Can you.

CAN YOU.

Mind block - Me thinking nothing else would suffice the filter that says – “good enough to write upon”. Then it hit me, how about I write on the mindblock itself? Yes, I know, very original.

My Mind in its Abstract Splendour

The Mindblock Mayhem

The worst part of having a mindblock, is the need to look for inspiration. This is literally me thinking nothing else would suffice the filt

Honest comments, guys. That's all I want.

This. All of this. Crying clapping rn!!!!!!!

everyone celebrating india's mission to the moon's south pole i love you and im with you but this is NOT india's first accomplishment in space!! im seeing a lot of people saying that but its not true. some other things we've done:

confirm the presence of water and ice on the moon

was the first asian nation to reach mars orbit, and the first nation IN THE WORLD to reach it in it's maiden attempt

saved thousands of lives from cyclone phailin in 2013 over the four days, resulting in 45 deaths when without them, would have been in the thousands at minimum

launched the first successful flight using the indigenous cryogenic engine

successfully neutralized a satellite in space with an anti-satellite (mission shakti, anyone?)

launched 104 satellites with one (1) rocket

THE VIKAS ENGINE??? HELLO?? NAMBI NARAYANAN??? even if you didnt know him before, surely youve seen the movie rocketry?

not to mention everything we've done in coordination with other nations, and achievements from Indian scientists and astronauts that were then taken by other nations, usually during war. plus, we've always been much more cost efficient than our space-faring peer nations

all to say!! we've always been there, and we've always been strong. our mission now only proves that, and we should scream it loud and proud for any westerner who ignores us again

Benoit Blanc accent being the new "tell me will" meme.

*benoit blanc voice* now that is just amazing, mister kira, but you seem to be a lot less bright then i musta thought... we're only broadcasting this program to the kanto region of japan.

Oh i didn't think of this, but now I can't stop thinking about it

Jake Peralta and James Potter share the exact same energy and you cannot convince me otherwise

[Amusing myself and my anxiety] Post #6 – Separation and associated shenanigans

What started off as a draft about separation anxiety, quickly turned into an impersonal review of my writing style. When I sat down to write this one out, my anticipations included word vomit, erratic typing and loads of re-reading and deleting things like – do I actually write like that? Do people come and read this for the way I’ve written?Nevertheless, I hope to cater to a regular audience and…

Reasons to get an AO3 account as a reader

Every time I see someone who reads lots of fic on AO3 but doesn’t have an account, I have to wonder if they realize how many features AO3 has just for readers. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few (and I’ve saved the best for last!):

Bookmarks - You probably know these exist because you’ve seen them on fic you read. But did you know that you can:

Make private bookmarks that only you can see - they don’t show up when someone clicks that “bookmarks” link. Not even the author can see them. 


Organize your bookmarks with tags.

Filter them like you would a search.

Add your own comments/descriptions, either for your own benefit or the benefit of people looking for something to read. (Just remember that unless your bookmark is private everyone including the author can see tags & comments.)

History - AO3 can track every fic you’ve ever viewed. My history is 373 pages long. However, you can delete any fic from your history with the click of a button, clear your entire history at once, or turn this off.

“Marked for Later” - Some people use bookmarks to save fics they haven’t read yet, but there’s also a separate system for that. When you’re logged in there’s a “Mark for Later” button on each fic. Then you can filter your History down to just those Marked for Later. Once you’ve read a marked fic you can then hit the “Mark as Read”  button and it will drop off this

The downside to both the History and Marked for Later is that this system currently can’t be sorted or filtered beyond that, but it can be useful nonetheless if you want to save your Bookmarks for rereading your faves.

Locked fics - Some people lock their fics to registered users for many reasons. They don’t want their fics showing up in search engines, they don’t want bots stealing them, they’re having a troll problem, etc. Without an AO3 account you won’t even see that these exist.

Comment notifications - You have an inbox on AO3, and anytime anyone replies to one of your comments you will get a notification. No more having to go back and check fics to see if authors replied to you! You can also opt to get an email every time.

Customize how you see the site - You can use site skins, hide tags or warnings on fics, skip the extra step to view adult content (if you’re 18+), even customize how your browser titles the window.

Last but very much not least:

Subscribe to fics, series, or authors - I honestly don’t understand how anyone keeps up with WIPs without this.


Get an email every time a new chapter is posted, or every time one of your favorite writers posts a new fic or chapter!

Don’t want to read a WIP as it’s being posted? Subscribe and know as soon as the last chapter goes up.


Worth getting an account just for this alone tbh. 


How are you living without it???


(Hitting subscribe is also one more way to show an author you care, although authors can’t see subscriber #s on series.)

There are probably more, but those are the main ones. Yes, you have to wait a few days to get an account, but it’s worth it. If you’re worried because you don’t want people seeing you kudos certain fics (that one tentacle fic you’ll never admit to having read?) - the way login is setup it’s actually super easy to log out, leave anonymous kudos, and log back in without leaving the fic. AO3 is designed by users; they’ve got your back.

And hey, if you ever decide to take the plunge and post something, that’s one step out of your way!

(And seriously, subscribing is a game-changer.)

Oh man!!!!! I'm seeing this post (in person?) For the first time and I'm thrilled!!!!

I'd watch the hell outta this, btw.

But I'm gonna be happy that I'm finally following the right people, or that I've finally reached into the depths of this website.
