dan and phil’s friends at the new years hangout:
Actually you SHOULD make problematic content. You SHOULD explore dark or taboo topics. You SHOULD have a space where you can cope with your traumas or explore sensitive topics in a way that doesn't hurt anyone.
Also you should make problematic content for funsies. You don't need to have had trauma or need to be coping in order to explore dark creativity. You can just be a human who wants to explore dark and taboo topics because you want to. That's completely normal, btw.
Every single person on this planet thinks about dark and taboo things. It's literally the most normal thing in the world.
Go draw the horror porn and be free.
we should all be more like david cronenberg and write fucked up stuff. For Funsies
you can never go back. this is your one life. you had a bad childhood and that's it. you lost your teen years to mental illness and that's it. you're miserable in your 20s and that's it. you just go forward
harry potter fandom experiencing such a revival in the last 5 or so years to the point where 5 out of the top 10 ships on ao3 this year are hp AFTER that woman started fully funding hate campaigns with her royalties is so bleak. fandom isn’t an indicator of morality but what are we doing here man.
I don't know if people are aware, but in the middle of last year, there was a whole mess of batch-uploading/account connecting from the former FictionAlley site and it wasn't necessarily done by the author.
I assumed the site was dead and all my fics were long lost. I'd also been going through every archive I could find where my Potter fics were still available and purging them all.
So imagine my surprise when I start getting notifications that multiple Potter fics have been added to my account and attributed to me. They were mine, but they weren't being added by me - my email for FA and my email for AO3 were the same, so there was some weird importing/association shenanigans happening which meant I suddenly had 20+ and rising Potter fics turning up on my account.
Thankfully, there was an option to let them to know to stop slapping my fics onto my account without my approval. I get there's some element of "we're archiving fics for the future", but that was a horrible, horrible thing to wake up to. I don't want to be associated by that woman any more than I have to be, even if that fandom was once incredibly important to me.
In the end I had to go back through my account and manually delete every. single. one. I think I was at upwards of 40 by the time they stopped.
I don't know if this has happened to other authors or if, to 'archive' said fics, they are importing them under the FA name. I just know it would be worth having a check on AO3 to make sure your fics aren't there under an old e-mail address.
The honestly surprising thing here imo is that even for *very* rich people apparently unbridled capitalism that makes them as rich as possible apparently doesn't buy them the same satisfaction as it can in places with less inequality.
You'd think (and every second temporarily embarrassed millionaire will argue) that if you can command a private limo, public transport doesn't matter. But apparently the systems that result in good public transport also result in amazing holidays for people so rich they wouldn't even consider using it.
If everyone can afford a nice coffee in the morning, there's a cute little cafe every 100 feet to serve it to them; if there's only 100 people in town that can afford that habit they're all going to have to hop into their swanky limos and haul their groggy asses to wherever the exclusive Coffee Club is located to get their fix.
If there's no public transit or bike infrastructure, your swanky limo is stuck in traffic behind 120 beat up Honda Civics.
If there's workers rights and public healthcare the barista there wants to have a nice little chat with every customer, because that's the human default way of greeting people in the morning. If there's not they straight up don't have the spoons and you get the dead-eyed Gen-X Millenial Gen-Z stare while you order.
No amount of individual expenditure will buy you what living in a healthy society gives.
They're calling it the most liberal Tweet to ever be Tweeted
we gotta start throwing literal rocks at these people, passive aggressive insult and boycotting aint cutting it.

Its so funny being a person who loves to chat but never knows what to talk about. I feel like Hi Can we play staring and breathing together.
Okay then, so how do we think mr bruise kink over here felt about the fact that his boyfriend had a permanent bruise on his arm for months bcs he was biting him on stage every night
i think mister bruise kink and mister biting kink were doing great
It actually makes perfect sense Shane wouldn’t realize Ilya’s his boyfriend until Ilya calls him his boyfriend though is the thing. And I don’t even just mean because he’s autistic. That’s just what happens when your relationship has been hidden and up in the air for ten years. No amount of devotion for closeted queers can ever make something indisputably official.
listen I understand why anyone writing a bodyguard au for hollanov defaults to ilya being the body guard and shane being the superstar. but I just think we're collectively sleeping on the appeal of playboy celeb ilya rozanov getting scuffed like a kitten by his deadpan, no nonsense security detail, shane hollander
