why is it sooo hard to conclude essays. I said all that because fuck you thats why
The Students Guide to Writing was how I learnt to do it in Uni.
The TL;DR version from Professor Coyle himself (a total legend and a great teacher):
1. Introduction/Hypothesis/“In this essay I will”
2. 8-ish paragraphs, each with an example that proves the point you are trying to make. (For English Lit this required close textual analysis and much quotation.)
3. Conclusion: Those 8-ish points mean that my argument/hypothesis has been proven. This is me repeating my hypothesis and saying it is correct. If you want to be fancy this is also your chance to say “and this is also why my argument changes the world and is very important”.

AO3 filtering for either of two (or more) tags
You might have noticed that when you include more than one item in your AO3 filters, the number of results drops drastically. When you include more than one item, you’re telling the filter to find fics that have tag A as well as tag B, and the more items you include, the more things you’re requiring a fic to have in order to show up in your results.
You’re telling AO3 that you only want fics that have all of the things. You’re not telling AO3 that you want fics that have any of the things.
This is because the filters use something called Boolean operators. The Boolean operators are: AND, OR, and NOT. You need to use caps for these terms in order for them to function as an operator and not just another word in a phrase.
AND (the one used by include filters) means you want both (or all) of the things
OR means you want any of them or any combination of them
NOT (the one used by exclude filters) means that you want none of them, either alone or in combination
So if Include = AND and Exclude = NOT, then how do you use OR? Use the Search Within Results box. It’s near the bottom of the filter menu, right above where you can choose which language you want to read and below where you can choose word count range and completion status etc.
In this box, type the name of the first tag you’re interested in, then the name of the second tag and put an OR in the middle. Keep adding OR in between them, and you can stack as many tags as you want - until you get to whatever the character limit is (character, in this case, meaning letter, number, or symbol).
If a tag is just one word, then your filter would look like this:
angst OR fluff
If a tag is more than one word, then your filter would look like this:
“no beta we die like men” OR “I wrote this instead of sleeping”
You need the quotation marks around multiple words to let the filter know that those words belong together, in that order
If you want to do an OR search for ships, it gets a bit more complicated because of the symbols used in ship tags. For ships, instead of using the name of the tag, it’s better to use the tag ID number.
To find the tag ID, tap/click on the ship tag to go that tag’s results page (I’m using Frodo/Sam in this example). On that results page, tap on the button labelled RSS feed. That will either open up a new page full of code or download a text file of code. Near the top of that code, you’ll see something that looks like:
ALTThe tag ID number is the number that appears after /tags/
In this case, the tag ID number for Frodo/Sam is 13674. When I repeat the same process for Frodo & Sam, I get the tag ID number 716913. Then I just need to set up my OR statement and let it know that the tag number I’m providing is a relationship ID:
relationship_ids: 13674 OR relationship_ids:716913
Put that in the Search Within Results box, and I’ll get fics with either one of those ships tagged, and I’ll also get results with both ships tagged.
Oh! and if you don’t know how to find the filters menu, just tap on any tag and then on the button labelled Filters. You won’t see this menu on a search results page. However, you can use these same techniques in the search bar at the top of the page or in the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced search page.

actually sick to my stomach over lockwood and co getting cancelled

For anyone who doesn’t know, we grew up living off of Brian Jacque’s Redwall series, which we remember most prominently for 1) its depictions of hope in impossible circumstances, and 2) its vivid and enviable descriptions of the food served at feasts. Well, today, 10-15 years after consuming this entire saga, guess what I found at the library.
It has recipes for everything I ever wanted. Strawberry fizz, Blackberry and Apple Cake, classic Redwall scones. And as if that’s not enough, a note from the author himself:
With all the love in my heart,
