The Fact I Want This To Be A Real Thing That Happens.

Good to know.

The "Search Within Results" Field and You, Pt. 1

When we brought back the tag filters after their long sleep last year, we tried to keep the interface as uncluttered as possible and focus on frequently used or requested search options. Like the Archive itself, this is a work in progress. There’s a lot of scattered documentation about finding stuff to read, look at, watch, or listen to on the Archive: The little blue question marks all over the Archive should provide some pointers, and there’s also the Searching and Browsing on the AO3 tutorial for more details.

However, there are some “secret” search options that are already built into the filtering and search code, but aren’t necessarily reflected in the interface (because ticky box overkill). Here’s an overview of neat things you can put into any of the following places to narrow down (and sort!) your results:

the “Search within results” field in the tag filters for works (e.g. for the Pacific Rim tag or in the Dark Agenda collection)

the “Any Field” box in the Work Search form

the main search box in the header

For Works:

words:1000 (works with exactly 1000 words)

words>1000 (works with more than 1000 words)

words<1000 (works with less than 1000 words)

words:1000-5000 (works between 1000 and 5000 words)

(works for: words, hits, kudos, comments, bookmarks)

sort:kudos (sort by kudos, default to most kudos first)

sort:>kudos (reverse to fewest kudos first)

sort:words (sort by words, default to longest works first)

sort:>words (reverse to shortest works first)

sort:>posted (oldest works first, going by actual posting date)

sort:>updated (oldest works first, going by author’s publishing date)

(works for: author, title, posted, updated, words, hits, kudos, comments, bookmarks)

restricted:true (only restricted works; requires you to be logged in)

complete:false (only unfinished works/works in progress)

expected_number_of_chapters:1 (only one-shots)

-expected_number_of_chapters:1 (only multi-chapter works)

For (Your) Bookmarks:

private:false (your public bookmarks only)

private:true (your private bookmarks only)

rec:false (everything but recs; works for any bookmarks)

bookmarkable_complete:true (bookmarks of completed works only)

Search Operators:

These will handle any text matches in the title, summary, notes, and list of tags. Note that there will be some inaccuracies due to the way the code stores information and handles search strings: “Derek/Stiles” will also match a list of tags containing “Derek, Stiles” in that order. (Please stay tuned for Part 2 for a workaround! Part 3 has the information you’ll need to filter out specific ratings and warnings.)

kittens

"needs hugs"

"kink bingo"

m/m OR f/f (works tagged either M/M, F/F, or both)

explicit OR mature (most of the porn)

-death (exludes works with ‘death’ in the title, summary, notes, or tags)

-rape -"dubious consent" -"consent issues"

-crossover -fusion -"alternate universe"

Mix and Match:

fanart -m/m words<100 sort:>posted

“raleigh becket/mako mori” -explicit words>1000 sort:hits

“warehouse 13” “character study” sort:words

“uchiha sasuke/uzumaki naruto” angst kudos>10

“teen wolf” podfic words<500 sort:posted

These were put into the main search box in the header to generate results, but you can also use these tricks in the “Search within results” field to narrow down work lists for a particular tag. Just remember to put everything into one of the three search boxes listed above.

Happy browsing!

Depends on where I am in the ritual tbh

Ok, the entirety of Purgatory for the QSMP is now officially over, so I am going to talk about it and the Cucurucho streams and related media that has poped up! I'm not going to give a day to day rundown of Pergatory, so if you came for that I suggest instead going for the vods. Personally there was to much fighting, sound, and general chaos (along side the fact that the majority of the streams were long) for me to give a good recap of all the days.

However, I will give a timeline of events outside Purgatory; if you do not want to be spoiled about Cucurucho's actions or any related news, I suggest you look at the QSMP Twitter and Cucuruchos streams!

Ok, so timeline of the events on Pergatory and QSMP.

QSMP Islanders wake up on Egg island and are split into 3 teams: Bolas!?! Headed by Philza, Soulfire headed by Tubbo, and the Green Gay Ninjas headed by Etoiles. Where the teams would spend 2 weeks competing to try and save some of the eggs.

At the half way point (day 7 or 8) the Green Gay Ninjas team were eliminated, and roughly the same day we got the first of 2 streams with Cucurucho as our main actor. The stream at the beginning was just Cucurucho at his home going about his normal life outside of being in charge of the local Federation branch. However, during this we get the actual timeline of when this happened in the flow of Purgatory. The video that played while sending the islanders off the island played before Cucurucho's eyes and the bear was from the sounds of it confused on what was going on. Pointing to the fact that Cucurucho was either not kept in the loop, or that potential the broadcast was not actually the federations doing. After which Cucurucho gets an island report from a federation worker with glasses (which, cute) that points to a huge problem involving what we later learn is called the "shadow virus" before calling for a meeting with all available federation workers.

During this meeting we learn a few things (this is I no particular order). 1. The workers and guards are definitely scared from Cellbit's murder spree, but do not known it was him. 2. The coffee machine is broken and a federation worker is not happy about this fact or the fact they have to drink tea instead. 3. A worker reports that while the islanders were sent off because of matanance, they have lost complete contact with them likely due to a third party (-cough cough-eyeball man -cough cough-). And as such suggested sending someone off to try and gain contact and return the islanders to the island. 4. The scientific team has yet to figure out anything involving the black concrete 5. Fred is still missing and the federation workers are worried. 6. The code entities were trying to send out a signal... And the reporting federation member also mention a plan to fource all federation members to drink apple juice?

Honestly part of what the initial meeting showed along side all that was revealed was the individual personalities of all the federation workers. Something Cucurucho does not reprimand them for, instead just seeming to sigh at.

After this Cucurucho sets all but one federation worker/guard to go clean up the black concrete, with the last member being sent off to Egg island. Cucurucho also left a note for Forever asking to talk.

After this we a stream showing us the federation worker that was sent off on Egg island, infected by the shadow virus and seemingly being forced to help direct the team allocation of green between the two remaining teams, before the worker promptly drops dead.

We don't see the last Cucurucho stream till either the 17th or the 18th where in we are given a tour of part of the upper level of Cucuruchos home before He sets of back to the federation office for an update meeting with all workers not in the med bay or in a good enough state to preform tasks and talk.

We see that the office has been mostly cleaned up, but the shadow virus now infects the majority of the federation workers with one worker being infected by something else. Once in the meeting room, where a table had been set up closer to the podium a new set of reports was given (interrupted on occasion by Cucurucho getting distracted by lizards that are somehow in the facility.)

(also, new Cucuruchovoice lines!) the updated reports are: 1. There is still no progress on the murders, but it is very likely an Island member conducting the action. 2. All actions to try and trace the islanders have failed, and the worker sent off was also lost. While mentioning that the islanders left by a non-official route. 3. The eggs are still missing, and they have no apparent leads on what happened to them. As well as mentioning that the Eggs should not have been able to leave on their own... Also, the apple juice worker again says a plan to get all to drink it. 4. ... The coffee maker is still broken, and the worker seems to be going insane from the tea... 5. As well as a report of while cleaning resident homes of the black concrete finding code monster residual.

The last report was an unofficial one while the group checked out the progress on removing the black concrete... During this, Cucurucho fell into a deep hole that was left unfixed in front of the bridge to the president's office, leading to Cucurucho giving an exasperated sigh before saying "it's tough to be a boss sometimes". The unofficial report reports the biggest spot of the second virus problem, this time relating back to the code monsters and the code egg. Leading to samples being taken.

After this, while Cucurucho went to leave a note to Foolish with a guard and a single worker once of the little eyeball creatures from Pergatory (Luffy) sails into the area and Cucurucho has a brief interaction with them as the child reveals "purgatory" that something is happening with the residents, as well as the instigator of Pergatory. Eventually leading Luffy to be taken into custody to gain more information before Cucurucho goes home with the picture of the purgatory man as he questions who they are in relation to this incident.

After this the end of predatory happens where a tie is broken between the Bolas and soulfire team in Bolas's favor. After which the predatory man reveals they have a spy in their talks and tells them to play hide and seek with him. Bringing them to an area with a federation worker with a single eye before the eggs are revealed, as well as El Quackity being the spy. It is then revealed that the egg "choice" was a single egg chosen by luck, before a confrintation leads to the island creator setting off a nuke timber. That leads to most of the islanders not making it off? (certain. Need official channal information that might not be available till wensdsy if Phil can't get on QSMP tomorrow.)

Also, on the official twitter a video of Richarlison having survived the bomb is shown as well as a missing poster for... Cucurucho...

Whatever is going on has just made everything much more confusing.

Also, just an odd note, has the QSMP info canal logo changed to a black cucurucho face for anyone else (or... A white shirted man screaming?)? Or is this just me...

infinit leaves

So, I was just going about my business in Idle DPS, no cheates whatsoever, seriously, and... I think I have somehow made it so I can infinitely upgrade my green sphere and get leaves from it...

To be clear, I have been doing this game for months and just been happily upgrading my right sphere discount until now. Then, Boom, infinite leaves.

I closed and re-opened my game soon after to ensure it was not a glitch, but it seems permanent... if anyone can explain how I managed this, go on ahead and tell me.

*happy*

Ok, this is me being bored, so here we go, what I would do as Mother Spore's origin as Grian and how they turned to Mother Spore (based on the original post about Mother's origin here: https://www.tumblr.com/sporelings-au/722568401712791552/mother-spore-mother-spore-is-an-ancient-being?source=share )

In the beginning they were born of the wind, bird song, and the wild magic, a Sylph, a Hyster Sprite. He had once been part of a flock of many protecting children against horrid parents, even to the point of on occasion bringing young ones to fae mounds to be adopted and saved from their horrid homes. Their name back then was Grian, and they were the main voice of their flock, taking the form of a human male sometimes to spoke or tell off humans, though never for long and always keeping some part of their bird form. That was, till those who watched and hunted came. They didn't know in the beginning they would destroy the flock, the purple robed ones only watched them from afar in the beginning, enough so that the flock stopped seeing them as a threat. Then members of the flock started dissapearing and the flock started becoming more cautious, yet more still disappeared till the few who were left realised the truth. The watcheres were fae hunters, and good ones as well. So good in fact that only they got away in the end with the hunters on their tail as they soared through the skies, taking on a more human form eventualy like the elves and other fae as they tried to hide in plain sight within villages. Yet, despite their hard work they were still found and the villages ran them off with the hunters following behind.

Till the day they managed to loose them on a fae island filled with mushrooms and decay. They found the core of the fae relm, a fae of rot and decay who left behind their magic to protect any who were on the run from hunters. And there they stayed, building a large home (a mansion) on the island with wood they carried over from the mainland. The core of the island didn't seem to mind, on occasion it would even touch their mind and magic in inquiry and they would answer. And their mischievous side occasionally led them to scare the creatures on the near by main land, especially the grown humans who eventually came to fear them to the point of putting a bounty on their head.

One day though, the watchers finally caught up, and they had no where else to run.

The watchers injured him, what should have been fatally, but the island core reacted and combined it's self with them. The mycelium of the island pored into their wounds, scealing them in their wake as they and the island became one and for the first time ever they fought back with wild abandon against the humans who had hunted them for ages. The spores they released infected the men and slowly started killing them as they attacked and scared off the men from their island. At which point they went into hiding as they put up barriers of spores circling the island. Those that tried to attack them in their new home in the beginning were attacked mercilessly, till the point it just became a game to them.

As time went on they forgot their name, their beginning, and their fear of humans other then an underlying maliciousness to the adults and a lasting care for the young ones. They started going back out on occasion to toy with humans on the mainland, gaining a new name from the humans in the form of "Mother Spore". Which they were fine with, they had long since forgot their name and a new one was needed, after all names were power. Myths started to spread about them and their island, and that was fine with them.

They may no longer be what they use to be, but they were now the eternal protector of their island, and perhaps one day they could gain new fae or creatures to join them and they could expand their realm and gain recognition as someone/thing not to mess with.

:O Woah thats interesting

love the idea that mother was some sort avian that was in a flock before turning into what he is now.

for the hunters hunting her part, that gave me an idea that they were hunting him for his wings. and the insect, fairy like wings that mother have now are not hers, but a gift from the mushroom island after the hunters injured her and chopped off his wings (would be morbidly cool if they killed him and the island brought her back to "life")

like to think that the wings mother have now cant let her fly very fast and high up into skies like how her old wings would have

and that mother misses that feeling of wind hitting his face as he soars through the sky with ease very much

anyways, tq mx biologist for the delightful insight :>

Watch "The Gaming Hour: Glass and Bad's Minecraft Adventures, Introduction" on YouTube

So, I made a short video about a friend and i's Minecraft world so far.

We've done a few cool builds (my favourite is lady Death's temple) and had some crazy adventures.

He good papa

Papa exdee and baby dream pls!!!! 🙏🏽😭

Ah yes! Sorry~ didn't mean to deprive you of the babs. So when I say that Exdee was a hands on dad - I sure do mean it. For the first bit of Dream's existence he did not leave his father's side. He's a bit of a papa's boy because of that, and when he goes under the care of the Endermen it was a bit of an adjustment, poor thing had separation axienty for a hot bit. Till Exdee explained (in age appropriate words) that he is the End and that he's never actually too far away. Dream holds that close while he's living with Techno and then later on with Phil - unfortunately papa's a little further away this time.

Very good information for any fanfiction feader on AO3.

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!
