Code, instructions on how to install them and previews HERE
The specific flags are separated in various chapters, and there are quite a few more than those shown in this tumblr post! (I had to cut down the previews or the post would have been SO LONG).
Of course I couldn’t make THEM ALL they are so many, and I had technical problems for flags with more than 6 colors and I still haven’t found a way to handle chevrons….
The ones I’ve made (you’ll find them all in the link above) are these: the Rainbow Flag, the Trans Flag, the NonBinary Flag, the Agender Flag, the Bigender Flag, the Genderfluid Flag, the Genderqueer Flag, the Greygender Flag, the Lesbian Flag, the Gay Man Flag, the Pansexual Flag, the Bisexual Flag, the Aromantic Flag, the Asexual Flag and the Polysexual Flag.
The header, the menu and the footer all have flags in it.
The buttons have flags when you hover them
The tags are colored by type (relationships, characters and freeform) each having a different flag color!
Each flag was made to work decently well both on light mode and dark mode (reversi).
Have fun!
here the link again. the skins are separated by chapters, different flag for different chapter.
She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out.
She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas.
81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving.
The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself.
Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held.
Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving.
The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything.
She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse.
Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one.
When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up.
The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other.
When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking.
The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving.
You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state.
“This kink is problematic when you think about it” ohhhhhh shit ok lemme head on over to the kink store and trade these kinks in for one that make my jackoff fantasies morally superior

it is always narratively correct to make your characters sleep together before they sort through the hundreds of lies and misdirections between them. make things worse make things worse make things worse #i love betrayal #i love lying #i love people feeling bad about themselves
I love it when fan fiction writers are like: “ah shit, this was meant to be one part but I started writing it and now it has to be three”. Like the fanfic is happening to them and not being created by them.
can’t go wrong with pining while fucking as a trope. truly it has it all. pining. awkward sexual situations. weapons grade insecurity for all parties involved. the desperation as they inevitably fall further and further while hating themselves for being unable to stick to the contract of no strings attached. etc. you understand

Glimpses
Alt Text
An image advertising a fic. At the top is a photo of a drawer filled with photographs. Overlaid atop this photo is a quote from the story that reads:
"Today was a date that would go down in infamy. At least for Draco Malfoy. Today, he fell in love. Or, perhaps more accurately, realized he was in love. That wouldn't be so bad, if the object of his obsession desire affection wasn't Ginevra bloody Weasley.
He was beyond screwed.
A (fancast) photo of Draco Malfoy sits above a (fancast) photo of Ginny Weasley, with the author's name in an oval overlaying it and the following fic information next to the photos.

Summary:
Glimpses into Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy's relationship over the years.
A collection of 50-word stories written for the Draco x Ginny Discord's Microfic May event.
The collection of microfics I did for Microfic May 2025, hosted by the Draco x Ginny server on Discord. This is the story form (i.e. chronological order) , as opposed to the prompt order that was posted here on Tumblr, which you can still find if you search "microfic may 2025". :)
Bits & Bobs
Alt Text
A photo of a drawer full of miscellaneous junk with the title "Bits & Bobs" in the upper left and the author's name in the lower right.
A place for drabbles, microfics, and other small pieces that aren't stories in-and-of themselves.
Currently, just home to the microfics from Microfic May 2025 that I cut or redid after I decided I wanted to tell a cohesive story. I went a bit naughty on my first interpetation of a lot of these and that's most of the reason they got cut - the tone just didn't fit.
Night of the Phoenix

An image advertising a fic. The background is crushed velvet. At the top of the image are string lights, with the title of the fic, "Night of the Phoenix", underneath. A phoenix bird with glitter trailing from its tail sits atop the word "night", while a masquerade mask is to the left of "phoenix". Underneath the title, it says:

Summary:
Five frustrating years after the battle of Hogwarts, the Malfoys—freedom and wealth intact but socially bereft—look to recapture their standing. A suggestion from an unlikely source promises opportunity, risk, and an excessive number of balls.
Quote:
Ginny smiled mischievously at Draco. "You'll be keeping your costume, won't you, Draco? It's so suiting for you."
His lip curled in disgust. "I will not. In fact, I'm tempted to burn the damn thing."

Character Snapshots
Alt Text
An image advertising a piece of writing. The background is a blank, unlined notebook/sketchbook, opened to a particular page. It looks very much like a scrapbook page. The upper third has a picture of (fancast) Ginny Weasley, looking at the camera over the back of her naked shoulder. There is a sticker of a broom across the top corner of the photo. Next to it, in rushed, messy handwriting, it says "Anything is possible if you've got enough nerve." In the middle, it says "Character Snapshots" to the left, and to the right is a photo of a drawer of photographs. On the bottom left is a photo of (fancast) Draco Malfoy, angled to the right, pulling a necklace away from his neck, sexily. To the right, in meticulous, elegant script, it says, "You don't know what I'm capable of." The author's penname (kiera_raelyn) is on the bottom right corner of the picture.
Clicking through to the linked post features quotes from each of my stories that embody how I characterized Ginny and Draco in those stories. Pictured here are the quotes from canon that I think are most true to the core of their characters.

D is for Draco
Alt Text
A bright blue background with the white silhouette a hill sparse with pine trees on it in the foreground. Gold, glowing star-shaped strand lights dangle across the corners, gold diamond-shaped stars dot the photo and in the midground, contained in a circle, cut off by the foreground, is a green knit sweater with a gold "D" on the chest. The hosting server, title, and summary can be found below the lights and above the sweater, with the rating, word count, tags, and excerpt under the sweater and across the snowy hill. The shape of the summary paragraph on the bottom, in conjunction with the sweater circle, is evocative of a snowglobe.

He turned the package over, found a seam, and carefully ran his finger under it to separate the paper from itself. Ginny stared at him in disbelief. "Wow," she drew out the word. "Is that really how you open presents?"
He stopped what he was doing and looked up at her, more than a little scandalized. "How else would I open it?"
Written for @cvltists for the Draco x Ginny Server's Secret Santa 2025. It was amazing how we got each other as our secret santas!
dear diary (you're the heart of me)

An image advertising a fic. It looks like a page ripped out of a pre-teen girl's diary. The background is lined notebook paper. Across the center top of the page is the title of the fic in red ink.

Next to it to the left is a simply drawn snake in green ink and to the right is a simply drawn lion, also in green ink, with a messy "x" scribbled over it in red.
The author's name is under the title, with this summary of the fic under that in red ink:
Ginny Weasley is sorted in to Slytherin (circled) and her life is ruined. And no, that’s not (boxed) an exaggeration, Tom!
A Book 2 canon-divergent AU exploring what would happen if this one, little detail were changed.
Centered underneath the summary are the rating, word count, and tags in red.

Tags: Humor, Teenage Angst, Slowburn (Two hearts in green are nestled at an angle under the word "slowburn".)
Hearts and x's adorn the empty space to the left, with a simply drawn cat to the right. Under the cat, is a frowning smiley face next to an arrow curved to point up to the cat from the words "Mrs. Norris" underneath the cat and under that, "NOT FRIENDLY" underlined hastily.
At the bottom of the page, in red ink is this Quote in red:
It was so tempting to stay in the comforting darkness under the Sorting Hat. So long as she was here, she wasn't there, where she wasn't meant to be.
But Gryffindor or not, Ginny Weasley was no coward.
A green daisy fits in-between these two lines to the right. Splattered all over the page is faded and newer-looking ink stains, in both green and red.
Written for Evil Author Day, so fair warning: this chapter may be all there ever is to the story. But it is probably my best piece of creative writing, if I do say so myself. So, I would love to hear what you think!
I'm loving the discussions about the role and purpose of fandom, as well and what activities are needed to keep fandoms alive and flourishing!
However... as a fandom creator (writer and artist), I sometimes feel like too much pressure is concentrated on creators. I don't know if this is a frustration others share? Not only should we keep making things, but somehow we also end up becoming these central fandom figures who can feel pressured into responding to comments (or else we're called arrogant or ungrateful), making friends (or else we're rude for ignoring well-meaning people who reach out), and being the drivers and pillars of that community (running events, responding to memes, etc. – and everything falls silent if we stop). It's a lot of work!! I don't always have the time and energy to make things for fun and then also engage in all the ways people might sometimes feel entitled to because they enjoy my works.
I really wish that more "non-creating" fans in the community would discover their fandom power!! and not just rely on the visible "producing" creators to be the only people worth engaging with. It takes nothing more than passion to write a meta-post about a character or a plot point, or to create an ask game, or to DM someone else who you see posting funny tags – not just the creator! Maybe your followers have other tips for evening out the balance a little more?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, anon. This is an observation I've seen in many parts of life, not just fandom.
A lot of people feel as though they need permission or an invitation of some sort in order to contribute. That's why I always end my answers by asking people to share their thoughts. I want to make it explicitly clear that I want people to add things into the reblogs (which I can then share out for more people to see) and the replies (which people can at least read even if I can't reblog).
I have heard fans who are readers but don't write fic say that they think they can't get an AO3 account unless they plan to post something. This is incorrect, of course, but a lot of people make that assumption.
I think at least some people (I don't know what kind of percentage) assume that someone who is writing fic or posting art or making podfics and video edits etc. has some sort of expertise that "allows" them to post.
People with less confidence or with less practice etc. sometimes need an extra nudge before they realize that they're welcome to contribute too. If that's the case for you, please allow me to say:
You are welcome to post in your fandom, even if no one invites you to. Even if you think you're not good enough. Even if your idea isn't "popular."
Start a conversation. Share a thought. Talk to folks who reblog cool shit. Be a folk who reblogs cool shit. You don't have to do everything in order to do something.
As mentioned above, please do share your thoughts in the reblogs and replies to keep the conversation going.
I'm not a fan of reccing a 'most popular, you'll be assumed to have read' fics, since that encourages the idea (even unintentionally) that 1) certain authors are better than others, 2) certain headcanons are better than others, 3) you're assumed to know certain headcanons (and maybe even agree with them), 4) leaves other potentially better written, less popular fics in the dust.
I recommend simply just recommending your favorite fics. (Steps 1 and 2 above are great!) Don't mention popularity as it has zero connection to quality. In fact, I recommend not differentiating fics by popularity at all. It's not a valid statistic, since it becomes inflated by advertising and prolificness of the author (which is what causes popularity most of the time).
Just adding on some of the best beta readers and editors I've ever worked with are not writers, and oftentimes not "creators"
They're just readers with opinions on stories. Opinions that can be used to help me brainstorm and point out the shit that doesn't work.
Also the people that helped me get settled back into fandom after a long hiatus are the ones who are "just" readers who "just" leave "silly little" comments on fics.
Those fuckers are my favorite people and I have never met them in real life but I would run into a burning building for them.
It's an ecosystem y'all. Can't have the flowers without the pollinators. And before you go "I'm just a mosquito" mosquitos are massive pollinators.
shoutout to the fans who help you find that one specific fic you read a while ago and forgot to bookmark
i love you guys so so much, and i will continue to ask you to find them for me cause it takes me weeks what takes you like, half an hour in my experience
and also people who leave encourageing comments and proofreaders who may not make their own things but make creating so much more easier and fun
and also people who manage and maintain archives so we have somewhere to keep oir stuff
people who manage printing and mailing zines
people who will sit in a vc with you and help you brainstorm
people who have specific knowhow and can advise for realism or even silly things
people who write prompts to get your creativity flowing
people who upload their media online so they can be pirated
people who analyze scenes and point out implications and details and their own theories
people who learned sindarin for fun and will help you pun
people who help you brainstorm
who manage a discord full of fans
unpaid tech support
and the guy who holds your camera so you can make fanvids
This is all very much true, and especially more so for us non-native English speaking fans!!! I realized some months ago that I don't want to write fics in English bcus I realized that I was doing the extra labor of translating every single thought before writing a fic, and it hit me that there must be other people in my same boat who wish they could read fics in their own languages in their own fandoms. I decided to finally get back to writing in Spanish bcus I have the hope that it'll inspire someone else that sees it to write their own fics in Spanish! Or French! Or Romanian! We ALSO belong in fandom!!! This is your sign to write fics and make art and do meta posts and compile rec lists and make amvs all in your own language!!!
(and yes, I'm aware of this being quite a funny thing to write in English)
i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.
