You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

In case you need it for your D&D games or siege actions— here's what the ballistic trajectory of a flaming pumpkin fired out of a trebuchet looks like.
It’s the season of mushroom🍂
So, Ao3 has made a lot of changes lately that allowed us to hide specific fics and works by specific authors.
There still no way to hide works with specific tags (that doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future, but I have no idea if that is in the plans or not) unless you use the filters in your search. But while you can bookmark a search with all the filters, there’s no way to carry these filters in separate searches and you have to write it every time.
Unfortunately CSS doesn’t have a way either to hide those fics either, at most it can hide the single tag, which we don’t want to do because at that point everything becomes so much worse, as you don’t even have the tag as a warning.
Because those black black boxes are very visible in a wall of tags.
(you can use white if you are using darkmode btw)
be used in conjunction with all the other hiding skins you have, you can either copy/paste it in the bottom or make a new skin and add the other one as a parent.
be used for dark mode, you just change the ‘black’ in white in the text
You can also do something midway, if you don’t need to obliterate the tag, just highligh it.
There’s no way to see what it is once you click on it though! (you either copy and paste the tag somewhere or read the address bar)
you can also do a mix of those, blacken out some tags and highligh others
The code is very simple and straightforward:
a.tag[href*=“word”] {
background-color: black;
color: black;
}
You change the “word” in the first line in whatever tag you want to hide, but be careful of these things:
It is case sensitive. so “skin” won’t catch “Skin”, if there’s something that you aggressively don’t want to see you’ll need to copy/paste the code for all the instances.
it will search even part of the word. so “tick” will catch “ticket” “ticking” “tickling” “ticks” (if you see that there’s a specific word that keeps getting stuck in the filter you can add the same code AFTER, and change the colors in something that’s readable, so like, the background-color: white)
you can hide as many tags as you want, just copy/paste the code again and again and change the “word” to what you want to hide next
It refers to the url, not the name of the tag, so this part here in the address bar:
which means if you need to use more than one word you can’t use the space but you’ll need to use %20 instead.
example:
a.tag[href*=“two%20words”] {
background-color: black;
color: black;
}
the two lines of code:
this one changes the background: “background-color: black;”
while this other one changes the text: “color: black;”
You can change ‘black’ in whatever color you prefer using a hex color code (just google ‘color picker’) or one of the html names for colors (so, white, grey, red will all work fine). for example: “background-color: #e6a4ea;” will give the example in the image above, the pink highlighted one.
Always remember the semicolon at the end of the line!
Obviously not on the same tags but you can use the black one on tags, and the highlight on others. for example:
a.tag[href*=“angst”] {
background-color: black;
color: black;
}
a.tag[href*=“fluff”] {
background-color: #e6a4ea;
color: black;
}
So, you can use the black thing for really hard limits that you NEVER want to touch and the highlighted ones for tags you might want to have a warning in advance most of the time.
That’s it. I know it’s finnicky, but it can be helpful to people.
Hi there. Are you autistic? Do you currently feel like shit and don't know why? Try this checklist to see if you can Fix The Problem!
When was the last time you used the bathroom? If you answered "I don't know" or "at least 3 hours ago", go now!
Do you need a drink? Go get one if you don't have one in front of you.
When was the last time you ate? If you haven't eaten yet today, consider eating A Meal, or perhaps A Snack. Something is better than nothing, eat whatever you feel able to!
Is there something in your immediate surroundings that is bothering you? If the light is too bright, turn it off. If there is an annoying sound, make the sound stop or reduce your ability to hear it (earplugs, headphones, etc.). If your clothes are bothering you, change them.
Is your space messy? Pick one area of your room and clean it up as best you can. Clean your whole room if you have the energy!
When was the last time you did An Activity? Scrolling on social media doesn't count. Try actively doing something fun! Play a game you like, read a book, make something, or go for a walk.
When was the last time you Spoke to a Person? Consider talking to a person you like if it has been a while.
How long has it been since you did something Special Interest related? Make some time to do that today. Infodump to a friend, have a nice long research session, look at related images or gifs, make art about it, whatever works best for you!
Try stimming actively! Put on some music and dance, spin in circles, go to the park and use the swings!
If you still feel like shit after trying all of these things, you might be tired or sick. Go to bed early and get some rest. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!
Hope that helps :)
Said it a year ago and I’ll say it again.
Pirate all your favorite shows, movies and games while you still have the chance.
Oh, and never stop supporting physical media.
For all the chronically ill
May your pain medication always kick in right after you take them. May your compression garments always slip on your body with ease. May you always find your footing when you walk. May you wake up with energy and zest. May your sinuses always be clear
