Do you wish you had the ability on AO3 to block works by tag, author, title, or words in the summary? You need AO3 Savior.
Step One: Install the Tampermonkey extension on your browser (link is for the Chrome extension, so if you use a different browser, just search for it). This will allow you to install the AO3 Savior userscript.
Step Two: Install AO3 Savior. Click on the link and hit the Install this Script button (image below)
This will open the userscript in Tampermonkey. Click the install button there too (screenshot below)
Step Three: Install AO3 Savior config the same way. It’s a separate file because if you update the code, it resets all of your blocks so you need to input them again. By having the config separate from the rest of the code, the other code can update while leaving your block settings in tact.
Step Four: restart your browser
Step Five: Click on the puzzle piece at the top right corner of your browser. Click on Tampermonkey and then into your Dashboard. From there, find ao3 savior config in your list of installed scripts and click on the edit button (screenshot below)
Step Six: edit the code to block the things you want to block. This might sound intimidating, but it’s okay!
In this config file, scroll down and read through the text. The first settings are turning options on or off. Use “true” to have that feature or “false” to turn that feature off. For example:
// Set to false if you don’t want to see why works were hidden.
showReasons: true,
When the code starts with // that means that it’s a comment or instructions to you. Read that line and then make the change on the line below it. In this case, change the word “true” to “false” if you don’t want to see the reason why the work was hidden from you.
To block on author, edit this part:
// Exclude works with an author that exactly matches at least one term.
authorBlacklist: [‘Hated Author 1’, ‘smeyer’],
Find the author’s name on AO3 and copy it so that you get the spelling right. Then paste it in here. To make sure your syntax is right, make sure that the author name is inside the square brackets [ ] and also inside apostrophes ‘. Separate each author name with a comma , like you see in the example provided.
You can do the same thing with tags by copy/pasting the full tag and putting it inside apostrophes in the tag blacklist section. Same thing for specific fic titles or for words that appear in summaries.
Step Seven: After you have made all of your changes, go up to File and remember to Save.
Step Eight: You can now close that tab and head on over to AO3 where the only sign of those fics/authors/tags etc you blocked will be a little box telling you a fic has been hidden, and why. If you don’t want to see those boxes, change those settings to false in step 6.
In future, if you ever want to block a tag, author, or work from your AO3 experience, just go back into your config file and edit them in there.
Note: in order to get this on mobile, use Firefox. Other browsers do not allow userscripts on mobile

i was going to take a photo but… i ate it all while i was typing this. it’s, it’s so good. i don’t tell my family when i make it bc we get aggressive about sharing…
When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay
Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe
4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger
1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix
1 TBs ketchup
1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,
1 Tbs bbq sauce
1 Tbs steak sauce
1 egg
mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)
You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

Have you ever just seen someone so fucking pretty and you get all flustered
Bc there’s this guy at our school and he was in my volunteer group and he was really nice but also he is GORGEOUS
And the worst part is that it’s pretty unconventional beauty and he doesn’t even realise it
And that makes me want to yell in his face how gorgeous he is but like that’s not socially acceptable and I don’t really know him except for a few short amd shallow conversations in which I didn’t even get his name
And everyone at my school already thinks I’m weird and they hate me, he also knows my name as ‘the weird one’ so yeah that’s great
So I went to an international school where all the kids moved from here to nowhere
And it broke pieces in all of us
We got torn away from everything we knew and placed into a different world
But we were young and we didn’t remember what we got torn away from
Only that we had to change
So we built new relationships
Made new friends, created a new home
And first our friends disappeared
One by one, from one day to the next
Because we didn’t know they would move away
Because who tell kids anything?
And then we had to leave
Again
And we left pieces of ourselves behind, and you could feel the presence of all those pieces of all those unknowing kids, and the absence of your security
And I don’t think our parents realised what happened to us, and maybe that just makes it worse
Because we moved from here to nowhere, and to somewhere new
Sometimes we remembered, and most of the times we didn’t
So we weren’t aware of the fact that we became *Adaptable*
We changed just to fit in everywhere new
Because we had seem people leave and we had seen leaving people behind
And we were desperate for people to stay
First we became toxic, manipulative if I may
Because that was the only way to be sure they wouldn’t leave
But when we figured out that you couldn’t force people to stay
We became depressed, suicidal in a lot of ways
We were desperate for people not to go, and when we realised that people never stay, we lost our minds wishing to be be those ones that went away
I think our parents underestimate how it tore us apart
Those nostalgic memories still have a place in my hurt heart
I cannot wash the sadness from my face
Because when I look back to those days
I didn’t feel the pain, back then I didn’t understand
But now when I look back, I can see it was at your hands.
— I’m not broken because of social media, I’m broken because of you
