      I host my images on Pinterest, and that's worked for me since 2020.  Sometimes some other site's URL is allowed, but a lot of them aren't (due to the top level domains, to my understanding).

          Good afternoon, RegisLeywin, 🙂

          If you're on a computer, then you need to right-click the Pinterest image, which will cause a dropdown menu to come from your cursor; select "Copy image address" and your clipboard will now have the address needed.  When you go to your AO3 fic to drop the address in, you'll automatically be in the HTML editing field (if you've intentionally clicked to the RTE, then the exact process will be slightly different).

          When you're in the HTML editing field, and at the spot where you want your image to be in your fic, you will then write something like <a href=""></a> and drop your URL in the middle of that as <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/....jpg"></a>, though if you change the 736x to /1200x (or sometimes /originals), the result can be a more-detailed image (not always, it depends).  Beyond that, it's just a question of adjusting the resulting image with stuff like center, or sizing.

          If you're in the RTE field on AO3, then there's an image-looking icon that you'd click and drop the URL.

          If that's fuzzily worded, or gives you any agita, or you have any other questions, then I'll be happy to clarify it or answer them to the best of my ability!

              Any time, man! ❤️

              I have a few tutorials in a series, if you'd like, and there are a lot of others out there for HTML, CSS, etc. (different styles of presentation and wording sometimes work better or worse for a given reader).
