🎼 You would not believe your eyes, if 10 million fireflies ended up in the header of your AO3. 🎶

It's been a while since I tried glow effects, but I saw the fireflies and I couldn't resist.

CSS code under the cut.

if u wanna use it, here is the code

I am open to ao3 skin requests and thank you, that's lovely of you to say

I don't currently have any space css, but I do have this night sky theme

⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Disclaimers : I'm not very experienced in making a site skins and i'm not an expert of coding things either so i apologize if there's some places that look odd/hard for you to read. I take no request. Thank you nan11 for helping me fix some minor stuff. pngs and images are from Pinterest + screenshots i took while playing the game on my cousin laptop. I only use my handphone while making this skin, so if other devices look more wonky than it already are, then i can't help you with that🙏. I replaced the og AO3 icons with this black and white icons by @zerafinacss. Dividers by @uzmacchiato.

𓅨 How can i not make my favorite visual novel ever as a site skin when i got the skill and will to do that. There's various routes you can choose in this game so making a skin that captured all of them is impossible for me, so i'm mostly focus on one route which is The Nightmare route. Voice of the Paranoid is one of my favorite voices in the game, his constant "Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves." blend in with the horror element and dark atmosphere that The Nightmare brings is just so good, it's thrilling and unnerving at the same time.

Tutorial how to activate the skin + the code :

Copy the code i provided in this GitHub, there is a copy button at the top right(•••) of the code box. And here if you prefer Google doc.

‌Sign to your AO3 account, after that go to "Dashboard".

‌On your "Dashboard", tap on a section called "Skins".

‌On the "Skins" page, tap on the button labelled "Create Site Skin".

‌Give your site skin a unique title, i usually use 2-4 word for the skins that i saved. IF YOUR SKIN NAME IS NOT UNIQUE, YOU CAN'T SAVE THE SKIN.

‌Paste the codes you copied from my GitHub into the "CSS" box.

‌When you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and click a button labelled "Submit". This will save your site skin and take you to a new page where you can see the title of your skin as well as all of the code.

‌Click "My Site Skin" and you can see the skin are added, press "Use" to activate it.

i shall never deny a request for something space themed! it is my one weakness!

I don't know why did i do this, but here is the code , I stayed up late working on this, so I hope there aren’t any issues.

based on this code that turns the tags into text

and this pretty skin

setup steps:

click the code link above — it’ll open a long block of code. copy all of it (don’t include the title). it’s way easier to do this on desktop since mobile has copy limits

on AO3, go to your username → dashboard → skins → create site skin

give it a unique title, paste the CSS you copied, then scroll down and hit submit

once it’s created, just click “use” to apply the skin ˚ʚ₍ ᐢ. ̫ .ᐢ ₎ɞ˚

Step 1: See an absolutely monstrous image on a reddit post about "worst possible AO3 features"

Step 2: realize that you could probably recreate that with CSS

Step 3: spend an hour of time you were supposed to be working just constantly thinking about how to do it

Step 4: spend your lunch hour (and another 20 minutes after work) making the thing

Step 5: profit???

If you would like to make your AO3 works pages look like some sort of cursed timeline full of broken ads, personal information, and AI then grab the code and make yourself a site skin 😆🤣

Note: this removes all of the buttons at the top of a fic and also I built it on my laptop with zero considerations for mobile. This is a shitpost kind of a site skin, so just try it for the visceral horrors and not for actual usability.

Demigod. Nephew. Son of Poseidon, Earthshaker, Stormbringer. Sally Jackson’s son. Seaweed Brain. Lightning Thief. Forbidden Child. Special. Powerful. Just a kid.

Me: oh no she’s gonna have to use her pearl and leave the underworld! I’d hate for that to happen so soon!

Annabeth: gets pulled up (rip to MOA)

Me: yay nevermind she’s good!

Annabeth: grows roots

Me: that’s ok! Percy will get her out of it!
