I started learning to knit three days ago, and am working on doing multiple rows of knit stitch on some giant plastic needles made for kids.

I am enjoying myself so far! We shall see how far this journey takes me!

I just okayed re3 and it’s so overhated I understand why people don’t like it with how short it is (took me 3 hours) and with the scripted fights but the rest of the game is good, I completely understand if you don’t agree with me but I find it fun imo.

Team Tee or Team Shirt

Feb. 2nd, 2026 11:02 am

Posted by Angie

You are on Team Tee if you prefer wearing T-shirts to button down shirts, and vice versa. Note that any type of T-shirt counts. Patterned, solid, fitted, fluid, oversized, asymmetrical, cropped, and with any length of sleeve and shape of neckline. Note that by button down shirt I mean a sleeved shirt with a shirt collar that has buttons down the front. I am not talking about a soft button through silk or polyester blouse. Shirts are usually cotton, linen, denim, rayon, tencel, or the like. Like the tee, the shirt can be patterned, solid, fitted, fluid, oversized, asymmetrical, cropped and with any length of sleeve.

I have a small capsule of T-shirts, which you can see in the collection. I wear them layered under jackets or with pants suits and not on their own because tees are not my thing. I went to the Oasis reunion concert in Los Angeles last year and had to commemorate the event with a keepsake, which is why I have the tee.

I LOVE button down shirts, and long sleeved versions best of all. Shirts are my “T-shirt”, and signature to my style. I wear them very frequently on their own in warm and hot weather, or layered under jackets and vests when it’s cooler. Combining a tucked shirt with a pair of dramatic jeans or trousers, belt, and boots or loafers – is a slam dunk favourite look of mine. I have many shirts, casual and dressier, and always want more. My long neck loves the coverage of the collar, which I usually pop. I like that I can button the buttons all the way to the collar too. I often scrunch the sleeves. I don’t wear my shirts fitted. I wear them fluid, oversized, very boxy, and sometimes cropped. Many of the patterned shirts in my collection have matching patterned pants to create a co-ord. I bat for Team Shirts.

Over to you. Do you bat for Team Tee or Team Shirt. Tell us why and no batting for both teams. If you can’t pick a side or wear neither, you’re Team Bench. I’m serving veggie gyoza. salmon teriyaki, pickled Persian cucumbers, sticky rice, and warm coconut sago pudding for dessert. Team Tee will win this poll.

Spotlight on Tag Wrangling

AO3 Tag Wranglers continue to test processes for wrangling canonical additional tags (tags that appear in the auto-complete) which don't belong to any particular fandom (also known as "No Fandom" tags). This post overviews some of these upcoming changes.

In this round of updates, we began adjusting existing canonical "No Fandom" tags to add or remove new subtag and metatag relationships. We also continued to streamline creating new canonical tags, prioritizing more straightforward updates which would have less discussion compared to renaming current canonical tags or creating new canonical tags which touch on more complex topics. This method also reviews new tags on a regular basis, so check back on AO3 News for periodic "No Fandom" tag announcements.

None of these updates change the tags users have added to works. If a user-created tag is considered to have the same meaning as a new canonical, it will be made a synonym of one of these newly created canonical tags, and works with that user-created tag will appear when the canonical tag is selected.

In short, these changes only affect which tags appear in AO3's auto-complete and filters. You can and should continue to tag your works however you prefer.

New Canonicals

The following concepts have been made new canonical tags:

Subtag/Metatag Revisions

Additionally, this month we began making adjustments to existing canonical tags to add or remove new subtag and metatag relationships, which help users find related content and filter in/out content as they browse works on AO3.

In Conclusion

While some of these tags may be tags and concepts you're intimately familiar with, others may be concepts you've never heard of before. Fortunately, our fellow OTW volunteers at Fanlore may be able to help! As you may have seen in the comments sections of previous posts, Fanlore is a fantastic resource for learning more about these common fandom concepts, and about the history and lore of fandom in general. For the curious, here's a quick look at a few articles about concepts related to this month's new canonical tags:

While we won't be announcing every change we make to No Fandom canonical tags, you can expect similar updates in the future about tags we believe will most affect users. If you're interested in the changes we'll be making, you can continue to check AO3 News or follow us on Bluesky @wranglers.archiveofourown.org or Tumblr @ao3org for future announcements.

You can also read previous updates on "No Fandom" tags as well as other wrangling updates, linked below:

For more information about AO3's tag system, check out our Tags FAQ.

In addition to providing technical help, AO3 Support also handles requests related to how tags are sorted and connected.​ If you have questions about specific tags, which were first used over a month ago and are unrelated to any of the new canonical tags listed above, please contact Support instead of leaving a comment on this post.

Please keep in mind that discussions about what tags to canonize and what format they should take are ongoing. As a result, not all related concepts will be canonized at the same time. This does not mean that related or similar concepts will not be canonized in the future or that we have chosen to canonize one specific concept in lieu of another, simply that we likely either haven’t gotten to that related concept yet or that it needs further discussion and will take a bit longer for us to canonize it as a result. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Lastly, we're still working on implementing changes and connecting relevant user-created tags to these new canonicals, so it’ll be some time before these updates are complete. If you have questions about specific tags which should be connected to these new canonicals, please refrain from contacting Support about them until at least three months from now to give us adequate time to do so.

This October, I'm thinking of doing a King month as I've been reading his books the last few months and fallen in love with him as a writer.

I introduced my girlfriend to The Shining last October and she loved it.

Only ones I can think of that are great are Misery, Carrie, Doctor Sleep and Pet Sematary.

I just love that movie, and wanted your recommendations for ones like it.

By that, I don't mean the same kind of plot, but just the same kind of feel. It can be any horror subgenre, from vampires to ghosts.

Open to any from 1970s to early noughties, but would consider modern day stuff.

Just to add as a couple have mentioned these - I have seen the sequels, and enjoyed them.

Great ideas in awful Horror Movies.

Feb. 2nd, 2026 08:22 am

Posted by /u/AcceptableIcy4U

Been thinking about this for awhile but there are alot of horror movies that are just awful, BUT they have one randomly good/engaging moment that you sometimes think about.

My best example of this is American Werewolf in Paris, with the whole beginning part of the movie builds up to the "La Luna" club scene, where the Werewolves essentially trap tourists and underground club regulars so they can be devoured(even taking the time to show the doorman baring the entrance and removing the sign, whilest the gang of werewolves prep themselves to kill everyone in the building). Sure its hammy writing/acting (and stock monster sound effects) bring it down, but the concept is just inspired

Especially with the added drama of the main character essentially leaving both of his friends unknowingly to die at the hand of merciless werewolves.

thought it'd be a cool idea to share any particular aspect of an awful horror movie that ha alot of potential behind it.

Anyone seen Return to Silent Hill?

I quite enjoyed the 2006 and 2012 movies, saw them both in theatre. Is Return To Silent Hill worth seeing in theatres?

Key factors: Pacing, Story adaptation, Characters, Sound design and ambiance.

Sorry if this is a stupid post but i genuinely cannot fucking find this movie lol. I don’t know shit about it other than the poster that has teens on it and has dripping letter font. Also pretty sure the main character wears a grey hoodie and the movie has a gloomy look to it.

I wanna say it came out around the same time as Drag Me To Hell, but I’m not sure.

I appreciate the help! :)

Before I start, no I did not read the book, and yes I am 18 (which I assume was the target market for this movie). I also know I’m very late to the party for this movie. I just watched it out of boredom tonight.

Going in I was expecting some low quality poorly written slasher, and I found myself blown away by not only how good the film looked but also I thought the dialogue was very well written. Often times with films that have teenage characters, I find myself cringing at how poorly the writers make their dialogue. Not once during this movie did I feel that way, it was some of the most realistic teens I’ve seen in a movie (besides them being played by 20 year olds lmao). And as much as I hate the trope of “gen-z not knowing about rotary phones”, I found the scene hilarious, same goes for the stick shift.

At first I didn’t realize this was a comedy movie, I thought the tone before the comedy was really well done, but the switch was welcomed and I think it was great. This is definitely one of the funnier horror comedies I’ve seen, nothing stood out to me as being forced. Majority of the jokes landing with me.

Another great thing for me was the characters. Quinn and her dad had a compelling narrative with well written scenes, seeing their scenes in the first act surprised with how good the dialogue and conflict/love between them was. The other main characters were all entertaining as well.

The only complaint I had with the movie was the final act, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the whole town being in on it and this being some tradition. However, that flaw was not enough to get me to dislike this movie.

I know this movie is not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend anyone looking for a slasher film watches this.

Over 500 Million Years Ago, Early Vertebrates Had Four Eyes That Could See 360 Degrees

Every mammal, every fish, every vertebrate (creatures that have a spine) has two eyes. It’s been that way for millions and millions of years. But maybe it wasn’t like that forever.

During the Cambrian, when evolution was experimenting all sorts of strategies, early vertebrates may have had four eyes, and they were high-res eyes, too.

I have found that certain horror films hit much harder in a theater while others work just as well at home interested in how much the viewing environment matters to you.

Hey I’d love some recommendations for horror or really disturbing movies that I haven’t seen yet and are actually somewhat decent.

Here’s a list of all the movies from that category that I’ve seen! Thanks
