AO3 updated their filters and Iâm so shook???
I love this so fucking much, you have no idea. Thank you, AO3. This made my day way better, and my life so much easier.
Also two notes: This is not completely rolled out to all logged in users yet, but almost. If you are logged in and donât see the new filters yet, youâll probably see it in the next day or so. After that it will become active for logged out users, so if you donât have an account and use the site logged out, youâll probably see it a couple days later.
And, on a purely personal note, to anyone complaining that a) this doesnât do exactly what they want, or b) that it took too long, I want you to know that this took literal YEARS for our coding, design, and testing volunteers, who were also keeping the site running, and also ARE VOLUNTEERS. People have worked amazingly hard in their spare time, for free, to make this happen, so donât be ungrateful little goblins.
AO3 filtering options have been updated, and so far I love the new version! đ
Harry Potter and the Bisexual Awakening – Part 2 AND 3 of 3 (Part One)
The obvious conclusion to the first comic – Ginny introduces Harry and Dean to Alicia Spinnetâs Bisexual Lions Club. Theyâre warmly welcomed by George, Lee and Katie as well.Â
Now everyone on Tumblr has access to a tiny gif of Maui dancing back and forth while slapping his pecs. I feel like Iâve created something stupid yet wonderful, soâŠ
what can I say
except
youâre welcome
And thanks to link-sharing on Discord, you can now have an even smaller version of him.
When I worked in a tea shop, I actually got a few people coming in requesting jasmine tea. Why jasmine? Because thatâs what Uncle Iroh would drink on Avatar: The Last Airbender.
So hereâs something to think about:
Even though he was royalty, Uncle Iroh was a master of preparing his own teaâ even after he left with Zuko, he could always be seen preparing it on his own, eventually opening a successful tea shop when the one he worked at turned out to be awful.
For a firebender, heating a pot of water wouldnât be difficultâ a few seconds of rage and youâd have it at a rolling boilâ but a rolling boil would ruin the tea.
The secret to a good cup of tea is often in the temperature of water that you use.
Jasmine, green and white tea tends to need between 160-180* F (71-82*C)â go any higher than that, and youâll scald the leaves and wind up with bitter tea. Let it steep for too long, and itâll scald anyway. So you canât just boil the hell out of it and walk away; to be really good, a cup of tea needs a lower temperature and a softer flame. It needs patience and attention. And thatâs where Uncle Iroh excelled.
It was such a wonderful character detail, and I love it so.
âŠIâŠwaitâŠI justâŠbâŠ
*Gags*Â âThis tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!â
âUncleâŠthatâs what all tea is.â
âHow could a member of my own family say something so horrible?â
DO YOU MEAN THAT ZUKO NEVER PREPARED A GOOD CUP OF TEA BEFORE BECAUSE HE WAS TOO IMPATIENT TO PROPERLY HEAT IT AND THAT IROH PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER RIGHT THEN AND THERE?
âWeâll have to make some major changes around here!â â His next line which he says firmly, grabbing the teapot and looking at Zuko as he turns.
Like literally after this the main plotpoint between these two is Iroh teaching Zuko how to be more patient/kind/open-minded while also teaching him how to properly work in the tea shop and I justâŠdo you mean to tell me those two were actually not just random meshing plotpoints but were a direct correlation?
