Since a few people have asked, a broad overview of subjects I will draw:

Will Happily Draw

• Existing/established characters (commission me for your FFXIV WoL/NPC ships, I will jump for joy!)
• Anthro/furry art
• Portraits/real people
• Explicit/adult subjects

Will Draw, But It’ll Cost Extra

• Elaborate creature designs
• Elaborate armor
• Detailed backgrounds

Will Draw Reluctantly But You’d Probably Be Happier Trying Someone Else

• Detailed machinery
• Boats

Anything Else

• Just ask! The worst I can say is no. :) I have drawn Bill Nye as a Mass Effect Salarian for a friend before so it is truly difficult to request something too weird.

HOLY CRAP, Y'ALL REALLY LIKE PICTURES OF KISSING HUH

I’ve never gotten this many commissions at once; you’ve comprehensively saved me from a second delivery shift! I’ve got a nice pile of art to do and I’m very excited to get started! If you still feel moved to, feel free to send an inquiry, but know that you might be waiting a bit longer.

A statistically insignificant level of Monica in my life

Too funny to leave in comments @inkskinned

There is always hope

Ladies, it’s time to be proactive about your ao3 experience and block them on the site skin level!!

step 1.

Go to skins tab

step 2.

create site skin (not work skin!! Site skin)

step 3.

This is where the magic happens.

you’re only interested in that big box (though you will have to give your skin an unique title)

in there, you paste this:

(This just an example, obviously)

.blurb:has(a:is(
[href*="*s*reader" i],
[href*="*s*you" i],
[href*="goncharov" i],
[href*="goncharov*s*katya" i],
[href*="goncharov%20dies" i],
[href*="top%20goncharov" i])) {   display: none !important; }

in my method, if I want to filter something new, I'll duplicate a line of this code like such (comma at the end is important)

[href*="goncharov" i],

temporarily, it'll look like this:

.blurb:has(a:is(
[href*="*s*reader" i],
[href*="*s*you" i],
[href*="goncharov" i],
[href*="goncharov" i],
[href*="goncharov*s*katya" i],
[href*="goncharov%20dies" i],
[href*="top%20goncharov" i])) {   display: none !important; }

and now I replace that duplicate with whatever tag I want to mute, replacing only what is inside quotation marks, like so:

[href*="piss" i],

and now it looks like this

.blurb:has(a:is(
[href*="*s*reader" i],
[href*="*s*you" i],
[href*="piss" i],
[href*="goncharov" i],
[href*="goncharov*s*katya" i],
[href*="goncharov%20dies" i],
[href*="top%20goncharov" i])) {   display: none !important; }

Mind that you replace spaces with %20 and slash with *s*. For example, "coffeshop au" won't filter it; "coffeeshop%20au" will. Similarly "/reader" won't work, and "*s*reader" will. Remember, only write inside the quotation marks. You can also copy the tags you want to filter directly from your browser’s search bar, then they’re already formatted correctly, like:

And presto, save your site skin, use it, and you will forever filter anything you want. You can add more tags to filter any time you want.

This, as an enabled site skin, will work across all your devices. Mind that the filtered works are hidden, but still count into the 20 fics per page that ao3 offers. Therefore if you're, like me, terminally picky about fic, you might end up with 3 works per page.

Is this nice, clean coding? Probably not. But it works!

I know it doesn't help with tumblr experience, but you can make ao3 way smoother!
