No matter what I do I cannot see the rest of this reply, and I can only see 45 of the 101 notes on the post (yes I counted, yes I tried everything I can think of to make it show me the rest, no I cannot entice it into doing so in any way whatsoever), so I am not allowed to know what this said, alas, but.

[image description: a snippet of my Tumblr notifications page with a mention by elvashayam https://tmblr.co/mK05fc7X-snRvE0G59F6zGw​ on a post with my handle and “i know your eskel fic is done but i…” and nothing I can do will show me the rest of the message.]

The Aro Eskel fic is not done, I concepted it, put it on hiatus, and now just finished the setup process so I can write it for the F&S exchange. i’m 2600 words into the draft and about to hit the plot bit of it. So I’ll be ready to ask for aro input pretty soon, and would be delighted to hear some thoughts, as I’m quite worried I’ll get it wrong!

And so our fun fact takeaway here is that, in the current state of Tumblr’s code, if you mention someone in a reply to a post, they cannot see that reply no matter what they do, they can only see the ping, so if you want to communicate, that’s not a good method for it, LOL.

witcher eskel, lingerie, asks answered, eyeballs emote-react, Anonymous

My favorite type of lingerie, aesthetically. Oh gosh that’s like asking me my favorite type of chocolate, taste-wise. As it happens I’ve just spent several days poking longingly through lingerie websites because it struck me that to commemmorate a year spent in isolation I should buy something ridiculous to lounge around in since we can’t go out anywhere, and I’ve just realized for definite for sure that basically nobody’s going to have anything fit me off the rack, so the recs post I was going to make about lingerie is going to have to wait a bit.

BUT I can skim some of the cream off for you– all the stuff I’ve looked at that won’t fit me, but would be perfect for a fantasy world.

This bodysuit https://www.solsticeintimates.com/collections/black-friday-2020/products/love-spell is fucking adorable. I am a huge fan of the straps that are apparently for no purpose. This is a trend I find inexplicable and also love. But, fucking, beaded embroidery on mesh? head explodes (There’s a beaded and fringed black velvet robe https://www.solsticeintimates.com/collections/black-friday-2020/products/divine-velvet-full-length-robe in the same collection, how the fuck is that fair??)

Yeah it looks like I’m a sucker for embroidery on mesh because this bra https://www.thistleandspire.com/collections/new-in/products/tigris-bra also. (Not available anything like my size, ever, and no customizations available, so this company’s off my lists, but, again, fantasy, so.)

Then there’s, of course, Lovechild Boudoir, https://lovechildboudoir.com/ which is the sort of thing I cannot imagine ever wearing, but could look at all day. Realistically it’s just elastic straps with elaborate appliques attached but c’mon that’s, like, catnip.

I… get the appeal of corsets, I do, and have even owned one or two in my day, but am currently less interested in them than I could be. My current aesthetic is velvet, mesh, embroidery, some lace, and lots of silk chiffon. Fuck, maybe some sequins too.

(Fuck, maybe I just started researching how to embroider on velvet…) (bonks self with newspaper stop that) (Your picture was not posted)

I feel like I need to say this, as I’ve seen some concerning fandom purity bullshit crossing my dash.

This blog is unapologetically pro AO3.

I support them and all they do, may they continue to do it for decades to come.

i want to reblog this with the caveat that they DESPERATELY need to get their shit together and address the racist trolls that plague authors of color, which is a problem they’ve been ignoring for years despite repeated pleas for help. (also, giving people the ability to block authors who write racist fic!) AO3 is not perfect and we need to criticize it. but that job is made much harder by people who criticize it for doing good things, like being an archive that doesn’t censor anything that’s legal to host. that’s a good thing and i 100% support it.

THIS.

AO3 is not a curated collection and was never meant to be, but tolerating any legal content from users is not the same as tolerating all behavior from users.

The AO3 has already started making some changes to increase authors’ control over their own spaces:

• You can now restrict comments to logged-in users or shut them off altogether.
• You can freeze comment threads.

This is a good start! Other things the AO3 could do that don’t involve removing fic from the archive:

• They could allow users the ability to blacklist other users, so that they don’t appear in their search results and can’t comment on their fic.
• They could allow users to permanently blacklist specific tags, so that as long as they’re logged in they will never see them.
• This one’s more of a longshot, but it might be possible to allow users to blacklist certain terms from a third party’s bookmarks or collections, so that if someone you trust marks a fic as containing content you don’t want to see, you can take their word for it and exclude it from searches.

Most importantly, they can increase the size of the Abuse team (and support and train Abuse volunteers properly) so that they can actually deal with harassment in real time. (For values of ‘deal with’ up to and including ‘ban users, and follow up on reports of ban evasion.’) Harassment is already a TOS violation. Taking it seriously, and giving users more tools to control who they to interact with and what content they see, would make a huge difference to the archive’s usability for a lot of fans.
