Do you wonder?

[poorly-drawn-puppet-history]

here's what i plan on doing

I am going to subscribe to Watcher TV right now during the beta period, and I'll share with you the developments as they're made. puppet content will continue in due time.

I'm very disappointed with the community's response to this move. it's one thing to be upset you won't get your free content, but it's another to call the guys sellouts or fakes or imply they hate their young, broke audience who are So Invested in their videos. it's literally their means of survival, there is no way Your dedication to their videos outweighs Theirs.

i am a creative who is only above the poverty line because he lives alone and works full time. it's sad to see dedicated fans look at three guys living in one of the most expensive cities in the World, trying to make what They care about instead of letting youtube force them into ad-riddled content farm formats, and say 'you're just as bad as buzzfeed'. no, they really are not. please learn the difference between a group trying to support itself and maintain its mission statement and a media giant trying to turn a profit. shane literally said in the video you can share your account!!!! jfc!!!

ex-Christian pagan culture is saying “oh my god” without ever meaning it toward your deity whatsoever—you’ve just gotten in the habit of saying it and have yet to break it.

[unleashed-fest]

RULES AND GUIDELINES

Unleashed! is an anonymous drarry + rare pair fest that welcomes works in which (an) animal(s), i.e. a magical or non-magical pet or beast, or an animagus or a patronus, must play a significant role. 

We will be accepting drarry as well as rare pair fan creations.

For the purpose of this fest, a rare pair is defined as any pair, triad or poly relationship, except the first ten on this list. (Yes, drarry is in the first ten but it is an exeption.)

Accepted works include fic, art, craft, and podfic.

Timeline:

Prompting opens: May 1st Prompting closes: May 15th Claiming starts: May 16th Claiming closes: August 31st Submissions due: September 1st Posting begins: September 15th

Prompting

You may submit as many prompts as you like, using your name or anonymously. You do not have to create for the fest in order to post a prompt.

Please include any extra prompt details that you would love to see incorporated. If you wish, you can also include maximum rating and any dislikes. Please note that these are for inspiration only and creators are not obligated to adhere to them fully.

We allow self-prompting. You can submit your desired prompt and then take your chance claiming it, or you can fill in the special box for self-prompts once claiming opens.

Prompts will be available for browsing once prompting opens.

Claiming

This is an 18+ fest. Please do not sign up if you are under 18 at the time of claiming (May 16th 2024).

You can only claim one prompt at a time. If you finish your prompt, you may claim an additional prompt. If you have finished your first prompt, and wish to claim another, please submit your first work as per submission guidelines before submitting another claim form. Claims will be awarded on a first come first served basis.

Collaborations are welcome. Please only submit one claim form per collaboration and include the details of all participants.

If you wish to create based on an existing fanwork, please submit it as a self prompt. We will only allow art, craft, or podfic for existing works with the original creator’s permission. We would expect written consent or a blanket permission statement from the original creator as proof. You can browse blanket permission statements of creators here.

Creating

This is an anonymous fest, so please keep the details of your creations to yourself. Please do not discuss your creations with anyone except for your beta readers and the fest mods until the reveals have been announced.

All creations must feature an animal as a prominent part of the work. This includes magical and non-magical pets and beasts, and an animagus or patronus.

For fics there is a minimum word count of 1000 words, no maximum. For podfics the recorded story should be a minimum of 1000 words, no maximum.

AI generated works of any format are not permitted in this fest.

All fics must be proofread. Podfics should be proofed before submitting. If you are unable to find a beta, please reach out to the mods.

Submissions must be complete works created for this fest. Please do not submit incomplete works or works that are a part of a series or a prequel/sequel to an existing work.

We encourage you to be inspired by the prompts’ additional details, but it is not a requirement to incorporate them into your creation. You are not required to abide by any mentioned dislikes. However, if you plan to gift your creation to the prompter, we may disallow this if you ignore stated dislikes. 

Submitting

Due date September 1st

All works must be posted directly to the AO3 collection: Unleashed! Fest 2024. If you don’t have an AO3 account, please contact the mods in advance.

You are required to add unleashed_mods as a co-creator when uploading your work. This is so that we can change the posting date, check the submission, and add a tag for unleashed fest 2024 and an endnote. We will not make any other changes to your work without your permission, and we will remove the mod account immediately after the reveals.

Major archive warnings and other seriously triggering and harmful content must be tagged. Here is a very helpful list of warning tags. Given the theme of the fest, be especially mindful of tagging themes like animal abuse and cruelty, pet/animal death, bestiality, pet play, etc. The mods will proof all submissions and inform you if there are any additional requirements for the duration of the fest.

Upon submitting your content, you agree to the Rules and Guidelines of the fest.

Submissions for existing works should be linked to the original work using the AO3 function: “This work is a remix, a translation, a podfic, or was inspired by another work” and pasting the URL of the original work.

Following submission, please email unleashedfestmods@gmail.com to confirm you have submitted your work and completed a submission header. You will receive a confirmation email from us.

Submission header

Title: Creator(s): Type (art, fic, podfic, craft): Word count/length: Art/Craft medium: Warnings/tags: Prompt number or self-prompt: Pairing: Summary: Link to work: Link to original work (if applicable)

Extensions/Dropping out

If you need to drop out for any reason, please let us know asap - life happens, we won’t be mad! We just need to know.

If you need an extension, please contact us with the estimated additional time you need.

Posting

We will post your creation on the scheduled day. We do not release the posting schedule as it is subject to change.

For any questions please reach out to us at unleashedfestmods@gmail.com

In light of the staff post about moderation policies, we would like to announce a new rule: submissions that promote misinformation will not be posted, or will be posted with a comment where appropriate. We were distraught to learn that misinformation being spread on sites like SMR was contributing to staff burnout and would like to take steps to mitigate it, nor do we wish to foment banxiety or other stress caused by not understanding staff's policies. In addition, we will not post asks that are outright mean to staff members. Criticism is alright, cruelty is not. SMR is intended to be a space to discuss topics not allowed on FR and form community among FR players on Tumblr. There is nothing to be gained by allowing misinformation to proliferate.

Hey, guys! Due to the sensitive content in tonight’s episode, we will not gif or reblog anything related to Hetty’s death.

[daily-utsu-p]

* NOT including games that feature Utsu-P vocaloid songs. I mean specifically songs made for the game. For example, if your first song was Jigoku Station Central Gate or Knocking On Hell's Door. If your first Utsu-P song was a vocaloid song in a rhythm game, select vocaloid please!

I think the answers are pretty exhaustive but just in case I missed or forgot something you can click 'something else' and tell me in the tags/replies. And if you want you can tell me which song it was if you remember! :) I'm curious.

[sweetspicybingo]

Just a reminder that posting for hurt/comfort bingo starts in May! I'll be opening an AO3 collection and reblogging posts then 👍

[poorly-drawn-puppet-history]

this is going to be my only post on the matter, and it’s not an invitation to start debating me at all. anywhere.

I won’t lie that it’s a bit disheartening to hear, but it’s even more disheartening to hear Watcher fans act as though this is a personal attack on them. Creators need to make money. The fact so many of them give you their “content” (eugh) for free is a gift; the time, energy, and materials needed to create any video, music, or piece of art are all luxuries in the modern world. Watcher is a company that has been struggling financially since day one. They are not Netflix or HBO Max. They are not throwing away content as tax writeoffs. They are doing what they have to in order to remain the channel they wish to be and keep a roof over their heads. I would rather them do this than start churning out content farm bullshit and advertising shady companies for just a few pennies out of YouTube’s pockets. The ones you should be mad at are the media conglomerates that have forced millions into working for them for free essentially, not the ones trying to buck the trend.
