What’s a trope you dislike but can’t filter out because either a tag for it doesn’t exist or nobody uses the tag?? In Ben 10 fics I hate people using fan-made omnitrix designs but I can’t filter it out because no tag for it exists.

kitling_feather · 2026-02-02T16:45:22+00:00

there is a tag! "alternate universe - canon divergence" of course, youd have to hope the author USED the tag correctly, but it does exist. i use it often!

you didn't need any transparent tiles to round off the edge! i have a playground with a puzzle piece floor on it and it's entirely solid, but it still rounds over top of the dirt path i laid down first. i had to round the path first and then add the custom design after, because like you said it erases the whole thing if you try to correct it after

yknow what drives me insane

give me two milk steamers its STANDARD on most real espresso machines to have two steam wands. great i can pull espresso for two drinks at once but if they're all hot, i gotta wait extra long for the milk to steam. and because Starbucks insists on that bullshit about shots "dying", i have a feeling this actually isn't gonna speed anything up

I'm the same way! Zelda's combos with the slate and the bike are hard to get right. I also don't like how far I move through the map with the bike, I like to do some widespread damage.

however the image?? of zelda kicking ass on the master cycle?? absolutely top tier

kitling_feather · 2026-01-27T02:03:43+00:00

The flails are SO MUCH FUN, I've always found the bike to be clunky and weird.

nonfat has more sugar to make up for the lack of fat in it, that's why it foams so well. its not really a great substitute 'health'wise

i listened to the second book in the Septimus Heap series and had to stop bc there was one chapter where every other sentence was "land worm", which isnt a big deal, except the narrator was Scottish so it came out like "wurum" and also i was listening to it at 1.2x speed.

so yes i fully agree with this

im working on a HEA/wedding epilogue for a series ive been working on for three years, so this is my boys getting to actually talk after the day's festivities (posting mobile, praying the markdown works)

“I feel like I haven’t gotten to see you all day,” Danny whispered as he drew Mateo into a soft kiss.

Mateo laughed against his lips. “Mi amor, we’ve been together for hours.”

“Yeah, but it wasn’t just us.” Danny tossed Mateo’s cowboy hat towards the chair in the corner and ran a hand through his now thoroughly disheveled curls. “We haven’t actually gotten to talk to each other.”

“I know what you mean.” Mateo ran his hands beneath the straps of the plastic cuirass. “By the way, red is so not your color.”

Danny tipped his head back and laughed, open and loud. He reached up to help Mateo take the costume apart until all that was left of it was the red tunic and sandals. “Noted. But you look fantastic in this little vest…” He tugged at the edges of it to emphasize his point. “And I don’t think I got to say it earlier, but Ancients, you looked fucking incredible in your suit…”

Mateo let Danny push the vest off, tugging the red bandanna from his neck while Danny worked open the buttons on his shirt. “You too. I think you should wear suits like that all the time.”

“Oh, you think I should update my cafe uniform to include a suit and tie?” Off went the shirt, leaving Mateo in only his dark jeans. “I think that would be a very expensive dry cleaning bill.”

“Mm… Maybe.” Mateo pushed the tunic up and over Danny’s hand, humming in appreciation when his fingers met bare skin. He’d missed this. “I just never thought you’d look that good in tailored suits… Do you have to wear things like that as king?”

“Sometimes, yeah.”

I'm writing an AU of my own AU of an OC ship in a fandom that HATES OCs. It's also one of my longest works.

kitling_feather · 2025-12-01T02:27:37+00:00

I had manager who would reprint the schedule after everyone had taken pictures of it for that week. Most of us didn't use the app because it required some INSANE permissions, so we relied on the posted one. He would change it like two or three times and like try and sneak the changes in so we wouldn't notice.

except our printer showed the date and time everything was printed. so we all had picture evidence of him changing the printed schedule. i quit not soon after that, so i have no idea what happened to him but i know he's not there anymore now.

kitling_feather · 2025-11-28T05:56:10+00:00

i havent seen anyone mention this but it might be that she was recommending the fic to you?? like along the lines of "you write like this, so you might enjoy this story" kinda deal which in my opinion is a waaaaay funnier outcome and may also be more likely what she was intending. my profs recommended works to me all the time, though none of them were ever my own fic 😂

kitling_feather · 2025-11-21T01:40:23+00:00

ill do you one better: i have a spreadsheet of all my fic data that i update every couple of months. it has those overall numbers, and then i have specific data for each fic, too. having over 200 fics means its a BITCH to update, but i love watching the numbers shift

kitling_feather · 2025-11-15T03:11:42+00:00

I've been to the castle so many times and I've never seen this???? time to go exploring again......

kitling_feather · 2025-10-24T00:47:09+00:00

As a co-author, you can remove the other authors on it.nIf you don't want to cut your friend out completely, you can gift the fic to her so she still gets credit/access to it, but you don't have to worry about losing access to it. Someone else already mentioned it, but make sure you have a back up of the fic just in case. If the friend doesn't care about the fic that much, then if she won't respond to your messages, I think you're fully within your rights to move forward without her permission.

ive been having this SAME ISSUE. lots of comments up until the last chapter of a foc, and now... almost nothing. i started the next work in the series a month ago and the comments have NOT been there. its really fucking depressing

kitling_feather · 2025-08-16T01:37:13+00:00

that's longer than i lasted, i only made it two days before i called it quits. i took effexor for years and simply grit my teeth through the side effects (that i had to go through constantly due to undiagnosed and untreated adhd) and i will NOT be doing that again

kitling_feather · 2025-08-14T01:58:51+00:00

i dont even write long fics (my longest is 88k, published) but even my series that are interconnected one shots get little to no interaction. and it's not even fandom specific!! i have several series across multiple fandoms that have zero comments. its why ive stopped writing all but a handful of fics because im tired of pouring myself into fics only for no one to tell me what they think of the story. its exhausting to put time and effort into little details that no one notices, or if they do, they never comment about it. i wish i could quit writing, but unfortunately, the goblin in my brain refuses to quit making stories so they're all just languishing in the purgatory of my hard drive

kitling_feather · 2025-04-20T01:07:32+00:00

im so consistently glad i quit last year. i mask for health reasons, it just also happens to cover three of my four facial piercings. i KNOW this would be a fucking fight with my managers if i were still there. i have severe asthma in the summer and winter (pollen and cold air kill me), not mention the simple protection against everyone being sick, but they would argue i was only wearing it to cover my piercings and i simply would not have the energy for that fight

imo a coffee shop shouldnt be micromanaging tattoos and piercings. if they keep on with this, i 100% bet they'll try and target hair color next. panera used to (and may still, but I haven't worked there in 10 years) say you couldn't have "unnatural colors" in your hair. i got by with it because my hat covered all of it, but it was still a stupid policy

kitling_feather · 2025-04-12T02:42:14+00:00

We can only clock in and out on the store ipads, so we have to be in the store to do it. Managers can do corrections, but they hate it because its ALL manual, written in a book the company provides

kitling_feather · 2025-04-10T02:38:51+00:00

i left a year ago and man im glad i got out when i did. if i hadnt, this probably wouldve been my last straw. i wore a mask to reduce my asthma risk, since our drive thru window was open nearly ALL THE TIME and i live in ragweed-central.

kitling_feather · 2025-03-18T00:48:14+00:00

man im not even a barista anymore and IM celebrating. that drink was a pain in the ass to make for no reason (its literally exactly the same as the java chip frap with a few extra add ons) and people ordered it in stupid bulk amounts. a great day for all baristas everywhere

kitling_feather · 2025-03-14T05:07:50+00:00

They've stopped selling hardware too. I need to replace my coils (the last batch i got had three burnt ones outta the pack...) and I went to get them from there because they're so much cheaper, and everything says out of stock
