What is a dream but a wish unfulfilled?

I want to play a game with you all.

You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

if you had enough disposable income, what would you buy yourself?

I'll start!

I'm looking to see how much influence "Twitter refugees" have actually had on the culture of this site.

It’s angels and demons au. Yuuri is a young angel that is posted in Russia, I believe but I could be wrong. But he is very young while Victor is thousands of years old.

I believe the story starts with him sitting on a rooftop when he meets Victor. I think somehow they ended up in a graveyard, either Yuuri chasing Victor or Victor chasing Yuuri.

Now, Victor is not demon but he called something else like between Heaven and hell, or I could be wrong and he is a demon. But I think he is something like the ruler of ghosts/afterlife.

But at the end of the story they both become the rulers of heaven, hell and everything else. I remember that Victor at one point was afraid of tainting Yuuri with darkness. And that they were fighting both Heaven and hell because they are different species basically, so it’s forbidden. And also believe that Yuuri may have gotten kidnapped in this fanfic but I could be wrong.

To be honest I think this fanfic has been deleted because I’ve tried every tag on Ao3 that I can think of but I still can’t find it. Please help me! Please and thank you!

I hope my lovely followers can help!

Update: Dark Angel of Mine by vanialex81 [M, 94K]

When Yuuri's heavenly light manages to catch the attention of the demon lord Viktor, Yuuri will learn that the demon will stop at nothing to claim him. Something that starts as desire turns into an emotion that Viktor had not foreseen. To what lengthens will he go to have the angel?

I really appreciate your page, it helped me a lot when searching for fics and recs, would you please help me find a fic?

Im looking for a fic I read where Yuri and victor collected posters and merchandise of Yuuri before they even met him,

I’m pretty sure the rest of the Russian skating team also collected posters and that they had stickynotes to mark who brought each of the posters

Thank you for your help

So, I just found out someone copied two of my fics off AO3 and posted them on Archive.org.

This is a public service announcement, for anybody who needs to hear it:  I do not want my fanfic on Archive.org, or anywhere else except my goddamn AO3 account. Fanfics aren’t public domain, and fanfiction IS covered by copyright. (Fanfic writers of course don’t own the characters, etc. that they’re borrowing from canon, but the specific iteration of words that the fanfic writer created? That belongs to them and them alone, and is thus covered by copyright from the moment it’s written.) More importantly, if I’d wanted my fanfic out in the wild where I couldn’t control it, I wouldn’t have fucking put it up on AO3. I’ve reported the account that did this, on both AO3 and Archive.org… but they’ve done this to literally thousands of other fanfics! Any of you reading this who are fanfic writers, you might want to go and see if your stuff has been stolen by this person (who I suspect is a bot), and report them too.

I posted a rather daring fic that got taken down—courtesy of The Eliminators—years ago. I reposted it on another website that allowed more freedom on the ratings almost immediately after. Last year, I found that some unimaginative hack claimed to have gotten “my” permission to repost it on FanFiction Net. After sending them a message that went ignored, I have since reported them several times. FanFiction Net has not responded in anyway.

So I'm sure almost everyone knows about the porn bot problem by now, so here's a post detailing why it's a problem, and what we need to do about it.

First off, yes, always block the porn bots. Don't be mislead into thinking they're ok to keep around because they 'inflate your follower count.'

Firstly, no one cares about, nor can anyone even see, your follower count. Be free from the shackles that are the bullshit other socials told you was important. Don't let your ego be tied to a number. Having a lot of followers won't earn you any clout here.

Secondly, bots only follow blogs to try and legitimize their malware (and other dodgy) links. This post goes into more detail about that.

Now that that's out of the way, you'll need to know how to recognize a porn bot. This round the template seems to be:

A profile photo of a pretty lady or guy, usually in their underwear, with a similar header photo.

A bio with some combination of: [Age] // [Name] // [Location] // [Emoji] // [Top Bullshit% OnlyFans]

URL consisting of a name followed by a number (i.e: firstlast999)

Typically an empty blog, or if there is content, it's all dodgy links. Visible, but empty, Likes Tab, & occasionally a visible Following Tab.

You likely recognize the pattern.

So, what you want to do is, first, report the blog as spam On mobile it'll look like this:

On mobile you'll need to report spam first, and then go back to the menu again to block.

On desktop it will look like this, and unlike mobile, you'll be able to report spam and block in the same motion:

If I remember correctly,* be sure to "Report Spam", not "Report sexually explicit material" to feed the bots to the proper channels. Because the blog is empty, they haven't posted anything explicit that would violate TOS. However, staff can recognize a bot, and if you report the blog for spam (the actual problem) they'll take a look, more than likely find that the blog is posting or DMing dodgy links, and dispose of it.

And I think that's it. Here's wishing you all a happy and safe blogging experience!

[UPDATE: It was suggested on another post that the bots track your IP if you click on them to send more your way. However, someone from staff corrected and said this is incorrect. They also corrected the 'guilt by association' myth that bots following you can get your blog flagged by tumblr.

That said, that trail all led to another, easier, way to report/block the bots all from your Follower Tab instead of visiting each blog separately, unfortunately it only works on desktop:

(For newbies, click on the little person icon at the top right of your screen and scroll to find the Followers tab under the blog/sideblog you need to block a pornbot from.)

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

Loose- untight

Their = belonging to them

can’t = a contraction for cannot

Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:

TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3

WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD,

THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

peeked - she peeked between the curtains, trying to catch a glimpse of what lay beyond.

peaked - the movie had peaked in the 80s, but it had stayed quite popular throughout the 90s as well.

piqued - the prospect of hearing such a tantalizing tale piqued my interest.

phased - berets have phased in and out over the years, but they’ve never quite gone away.

fazed - he wasn’t at all fazed by her biting tone.

weary - after such a grueling trial, it would be a wonder if any of them weren’t weary.

wary - growing up, my mother cautioned me to be wary of strangers.

due time - he will pay his dues in due time.

do time - “it’s time to do this,” she said. i hid my grin. “yup,” i agreed. “it’s do time.”

per se - her answer was not per se troublesome, but the look on her face when she gave it concerned me.

per say - (i couldn’t think of a sentence that worked, but the implication seems to be that someone is being charged something for each opportunity they have to make their opinions known)

breathe - as the smoke cleared, it soon became much easier to breathe.

breath - as the killer passed, i pressed my hands over my mouth and held my breath, certain he would hear the rapid thumping of my heart

wander - the dog has a tendency to wander, so we made sure to get her micro-chipped.

wonder - the beauty of the waterfall was a wonder to behold.

defiant - he remained defiant even as the guards dragged him away.

definite - though our scientists have been hard at work, they have yet to reach a definite conclusion.

wanton - she charged forward, swinging her axe with a wanton glee for the carnage to come.

wonton - i was surprised to hear he’d never had wonton soup before, so of course we had to order that as well.

bawl - almost as soon as the plane had taken into the air, no less than seven babies began to bawl.

ball - we balled so hard i thought my eyes would fall out. (the joke is that “to ball” is in some places slang for “to have sexual intercourse”, so you technically “ball your eyes out” isn’t wrong, it’s just hyperbole, much like “bawl your eyes out” or “laugh your ass off”. still kinda a weird thing to say, though)

sike - “sike!” she cried, momentarily confusing me, until i followed her finger to where hungarian bantamweight greco-roman wrestler andrás sike stood waving at us.

psych - if i don’t stop overthinking this, i’m going to psych myself out!

sleight - skillful sleight of hand is a requirement for a successful magician.

slight - he had a slight frame, which he was trying and failing to conceal with a massive overcoat.

complementary - her shirt was complementary to her shoes.

complimentary - the coffee was complimentary, the waitress had told me with a smile. (quick note– the coffee picture up there is cute, but incorrect. “complimentary” means both “expressing a compliment” and “free of charge” - a complementary coffee would be a coffee that goes really well with something)

discrete - as you can see, there are several discrete shelves for each genre of book.

discreet - i’d never once worried about confessing my worries to her, as she’d never had any issue being discreet.

born - jesus was born in a manger.

borne - jesus was borne by mary.

(for those last two, please ignore if you’re reading this before 1775, in which case it doesn’t apply to you and you needn’t worry about it)

lightening - during the last weeks of pregnancy, you will experience lightening. (note: this refers to the noun; also called “dropping”)

lightning - there might be a lightning storm this tuesday! (note: technically this actually did used to be spelled as “lightening”, but then that got contracted to “light'ning”, which eventually became “lightning”. so… not wrong but no longer technically correct either)

loose - to the captain’s horror, the knot was far too loose– whoever had tied it, he vowed, they’d be swabbin’ the decks for the rest of the year, assuming they survived the storm.

lose - i have to admit, i really do hate to lose.

affect - your attitude will affect your chances.

effect - the emperor wielded his power to great effect.

(those last two are really challenging for me, so i decided to throw some alliteration in there)

there - “look there!” he cried, pointing towards the horizon. i gasped as i too saw the outline of a ship cresting the waves.

their - it was their concern, not mine, so i bit my tongue.

they’re - they’re going to over there, to their house.

to - to infinity, and beyond!

two - the students split themselves into six groups of two and one group of three.

too - you’ve gone too far!

and a few more i know people struggle with:

its - the dog tilted its head inquisitively to the side.

it’s (it is) - “it’s a damn shame,” the old woman said with a sigh.

it’s (it has) - “it’s been quite a day,” the postman chuckled nervously.

(this one is really confusing, but “it’s” DOES NOT DENOTE POSSESSION - it’s exclusively used as a contraction. the possessive form is the one without the apostrophe, so for anyone who uses it/its pronouns, that’s the one you should use. for example, “laura laughed uproariously, its shoulders shaking” - the shoulders are laura’s, laura uses it/its. also, “it’s laura’s turn to do the dishes” - laura’s pronouns aren’t coming into play, it’s simply its turn to do the dishes)

your - your name is sally.

you’re - you’re named sally.

(the easiest thing to do with contractions is, in my experience, to break them up. if you aren’t sure whether the contracted word is the right one, use the full version instead. for example, if the sentence you have is “you’re cat has escaped”, try breaking that up. “you are cat has escaped” doesn’t really make sense, so you know to use “your” instead - “your cat has escaped”)

would’ve - i would’ve done it myself, but i didn’t want to step on your toes. (this is the contracted form of “would have”)

would of - just incorrect; this one doesn’t work in any way that i’m aware of

advice - i gave him a piece of advice.

advise - i would advise against that.

(the difference for those two is that advice is a noun and advise is a verb)

calender - i put the paper in the calender.

calendar - i made sure to mark the date on my calendar.

(a calendar is used to keep track of times and whatnot; a calender is a machine you press paper in)

capital - lilongwe is the capital of malawi.

capitol - the legislators assembled in the capitol.

principal - she recently became the principal of the local elementary school!

principle - these are the principles upon which this chess club was founded.

counsel - i would counsel you to exercise caution, my liege.

council - the city council voted to ban man-eating shrubbery.

rein - i tried my best to rein him in.

reign - the reign of the empress lasted thirty-seven years.

rain - rain beats down, down on the outer walls.

whine - much to my irritation, he soon began to whine.

wine - she doesn’t have a drinking problem, although she’s quite fond of wine.

bear - this is a burden you cannot bear alone.

bare - he ran through the woods completely bare.

uninterested - as a child, i was completely uninterested in boys, so it took me a while to realize i was gay.

disinterested - a judge should always remain disinterested.

(note: disinterested does not mean “lacking interest”, but refers instead to impartiality. however, this misconception is so widespread that it’s frequently used as synonymous with uninterested, although that’s also the earliest known usage of the word, so it’s really up to you whether you care)

emigrate - brian said his dad is going to emigrate from belgium!

immigrate - alice’s aunt is going to immigrate to czechoslovakia.

e.g. - i don’t like sad events (e.g. funerals).

i.e. - cats are quadrupeds, i.e., they have four feet.
