Garbo Tuesday

imagine youre in the mcu, right? and some teenager just posted the yearbook photo of tony stark’s missing son that was just found alive like last week on twitter. nobody has seen his face yet.

I’m so happy you updated. This story has been one of my favorites.

Hey there! In the story, Peter hasn’t had his powers for very long, only like three months at this point. He was bitten in like at beginning of the school year and we’re only at Christmas in the story. I did that bc my stupid self put civil war happening in March bc I miss remembered the beginning of Homecoming saying that it took place seven months after it. Whoops.

Hey guys!!! Comfortember 2021 is upon us. WHO’S PSYCHED CUZ I AM 🙌🏼

Comfortember is a month-long challenge during the month of November and the focus is all things comfort. Whether in the form of fluff, recovery, post-whump, or all of the above, this challenge is guaranteed to give you those soft, fuzzy feelings that make you want to curl up under blankets in front of a fireplace ☺️

This challenge is open to all fandoms and it’s open to all forms of art, not just fanfiction. Please use the #comfortember tag when you post so all the fics will be in one place! 

For anyone posting on AO3, the link to this year’s collection is here!

AND THE PROMPTS ARE:

I decided to post the prompts earlier this year to give you guys more time to plan, especially since it’s coming after @whumptober2021​ and @sicktember​ (the first Sicktember is this September!)

The 5 prompts off to the side are the alternatives. If there is a prompt you don’t want/aren’t comfortable using, please use these as a substitute 💜

Please refer to my FAQ (I will be updating it for this year but most of these questions still apply) for any questions but please send me an ask on this blog or my main blog @baloobird​ if you have questions about anything!!! 

Thank you guys so much, it’s because of YOU that i’m able to do this again and I’m so freaking excited!! I hope you guys enjoy the prompts and have fun with this!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Please share this and spread the word, the more comfort, the better 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Peter winces again and Pepper notices the knuckles of his hand are turning white from how hard he’s gripping the side of the couch. “If I break your couch Ms. Potts I’m sorry-“

“Why’d you specify that it’s her couch?” Tony says, pretending to be offended, being careful to be gentle, stopping if Peter looked too uncomfortable. “It is still my damn name on the side of the building-“

“You said when you bought the tower back you only put twelve percent in your name so if you think about it, it’s really 88% her tower-“

“I need to stop telling you things that you can just use against me, next thing I know you and Pepper will start teaming up against me, and besides if you break it we can just buy a new one.”

“God rich people-“

The latest CDC guidelines!

Yep, I still won't be going to an exercise class indoors.

Many people who read fanfiction also require the assistance of text-to-speech or audio description software. Blind and visually impaired people are very much present in the fanfiction and fandom communities, but are so frequently disregarded or forgotten about.

If you are writing a work and like to utilise paragraph breaks, please do not use combinations such as the following:

[Image description in Alt Text. I have used an image to avoid what I will describe below.] [ID: Four examples of punctuation and icons that are disruptive when used as line breakers. The first line is a series of O letters. The second is a series of asterisks. The third is a series of dots, circles and stars. The last is a series of tildes. End ID.]

The software will read these combinations out loud letter for letter or symbol for symbol. For example; it would read to the user the word ‘asterisk’ six times in a row, or the word ‘tilde’ five times in a row.

This is unpleasant, confusing and often irritating for blind or visually impaired readers. If you would like a similar sample of what it would sound like, enter one of the above combinations into Google Translate and use the audio button.

Here is a post by @ao3commentoftheday​ that also details this difficulty and provides links to downloadable audio transcribers and fanfiction audio readers. These are also helpful for if you simply wish to listen to fanfiction but can’t find a podfic of the work.

Screen Reader Friendly and Screen Reader Compatible are AO3 tags that help visually impaired readers track and access fanfiction that is consciously created with their needs in mind. Please consider adding these tags to your works in order to expand the range of works that visually impaired readers can safely and confidently access.

Alternatives to these are:

Utilise HTML or embedded line break functions where possible, such as the feature on the Archive’s editing functions. Most screen readers should be equipped to understand these.

[Line breaker] can also be read by most screen readers. While not as aesthetic, it’s still functional.

Use an image divider/breaker and utilise the Alt Text or [ ] descriptor functions to label it as a line breaker.
