Is there a way to block a user? At the very least prevent their stories from showing up when browsing? I have an ex that is on AO3 and still in many of my fandoms and it’s a little triggery to see their username come up.

ao3org:

We don’t offer blocking options, unfortunately, and it’s unlikely we’ll ever add this as a feature. We do understand why some users might want it, but it would complicate our code immensely and affect site performance, so we have to compromise.

However, there’s several third-party tools that help you avoid certain tags, keywords, or usernames when browsing or searching for fanworks. If you’re using Firefox or Chrome, you can have a look at the Blurb Blocker script, AO3 Savior, or AO3 Saved Filters. I hope one of these will meet your needs!

(For more detailed instructions on setting up a userscript in your browser, you can check out this unofficial tutorial.)

Edit: tuff_ghost points out their other script, which lets you hide comments and kudos from specified users and/or (named) guests.

Edit: allochthon outlines a different method for peaceful browsing, namely bookmarking “cleaned up” versions of work listings.

Creature In A Mask 

– this speed painting marks two years to the day since i started drawing these two characters after watching the force awakens. so in honor of that occasion i decided to draw some old school masked kylo ren art …50+ drawings and still counting. someday i may no longer draw these two. but today is not that day
