thinking about how hard the ninth doctor's "just this once, everybody lives!! hit

art…Hard

Emotion-based magic is just...10/10. Characters causing destruction in a rage, only to be horrified by what they’ve done? Excellent. Characters being ten times stronger when someone they love is in danger? Wonderful. Characters claiming they don’t care, yet their magic says otherwise? Perfect.

Is there anything better than accidental dads in fiction

every single suez canal/ever given fic that has appeared on ao3 over the last few days is Incredibly Cursed, but I have to give a special shout out to this one for the best tag I’ve ever seen:

For anyone that doesn't keep up on news at AO3, they've announced that they're currently working on adding a blocking and a muting feature. From the announcement:

After some discussion, we've decided to consider the new functionality as two sets of separate features:

Blocking: preventing certain users from interacting with you

Muting : excluding content by certain users from your personal Archive experience

In this manner, we can offer our users a set of options to curate their own experiences and add a layer of protection against harassment, without making it harder for people to create and interact with content on the Archive. For example, you might want to mute a user for posting a lot of fanworks about a pairing you don't like, but you're fine with the same user leaving comments on your own works. By separating the two concepts, we'll also be able to deploy an initial, focused set of options while continuing to work on the rest of the functionality behind the scenes.

It looks like it's still in early development, and they're still working through figuring out how it will interact with things like public collections, but at least they ARE working on it!
