#i dont like that im having to bring that tag back

[bigmammallama5]

idk if your "what is happening" tag on the fanfic post was a genuine question, or if it was more of a "wtf is happening??" reaction, so i'm sorry if it was the second

basically a bunch of people on tiktok from those fandom spaces decided it was a good idea to take people's work (not even their own fic) and bind it and start selling it. one of the "big ones" was a fic titled "all the young dudes" ... iirc... which was/is a harry potter snape delulu fic

it's gone far enough to where some fics have been found to have been published on amazon and it's fucking it up for authors everywhere :(

It was a little of both confusion and reaction tbh so thank you for the (unfortunately frustrating) clarification!

I've heard recently about some fanfics getting published on amazon... somehow. I can't quite remember how or which ones they were, just that I know it's also really hard to get books taken off amazon and that was also adding to the problem. I have a good friend pretty dialed in to what booktok is doing and every once in a while she'll tell me some drama and I get six more white hairs.

Tbh i. That is, just to beat a dead horse for a moment, an incredibly stupid and selfish thing to do with a high chance of salting the earth for everyone. I hope they can get it figured out, I know Ao3 has a legal team but that reach only goes so far to protect us. I can't tell you how much back-bending we had to do with the supercorp zine to keep it safe for not just us (mods and contributors AND fandom at large) and the charities, but also Ao3. Once you bring money into an IP that you don't legally own (art OR fic OR merchandise) and start pocketing money from it... that's risky. Most companies won't go past a cease and desist if it's getting really big, but I did grow up in the time of Anne Rice.

As for anyone who may be selling their fanfic through personal publishing or commissions: be careful. If you want to do that, do it, but do your research and don't take it near Ao3 either (it's against ToS for one, and you risk the entire platform by even mentioning a kofi or paypal or patreon so don't do it). I know everybody has to eat and I'm not gonna preach to you how you should do it-but don't betray your own community no matter which fandom or ship you're in.

individual stills of miguel Scampering on all fours and showing off his more distinct individual movement style (that he has because of his spider-man's Similar-but-still-distinctly-Weird-and-unique powers as compared to the more-graceful Others) so that i don't have 2 keep rewinding the clip(s) to see it. im REALLY excited to see him scuttling and skittering all over the place in the film just like he does in the comics-- and, like, seriously, Miguel Specifically being just. made Massive for some reason in his atsv design will never NOT be funny to me hes SO freakin Bouncy why did they Do That.

don't be Weird on my post or i'll kill you for real

Honestly I think the most unforgivable crime comitted by the new ATLA adaptation is bringing back the fucking kataang/zutara discourse🥰

Like, I can forgive a lot, but I can't forgive the fact that my own eyes, in the year of our lord 2024, have to be subjected to takes I first saw on 2011 DeviantArt

hes eepy

the abyss but what it looks like is based off of the hunters memories. it expands with each death in a vault, taking bits and pieces and building, creating something that should feel familiar to the hunters, something they should want to trust, something that is every so slightly Wrong

sparkly doesnt die in the abyss in the funky abyss au but he is in there fairly willingly and the abyss is able to poke around his head and go shopping for landscaping ideas. helps that he remembers the forest of the abyss fondly

i haven't played minecraft in years, but with the armadillo winning the vote, i think about how wolves don't really have much going on in terms of their utility. like anytime i tame a wolf, i end up just kinda keeping them sitting at home.

i think if mojang really does feel like wolves are deserving of armour, with the addition of armadillos, they really need to update wolves to be more useful as companion mobs, because personally... i never feel the urge to bring a wolf with me when im going out to do things, especially if it involves combat.

like, what do dogs do best? fetching stuff and digging, right? like i wish that i could just mill about with a wolf and they track a scent or something and start digging into the dirt and then proceed to bring you that item. like it could range from rarely digging up iron nuggets to digging up vegetables or whatever, yknow. combine the fetching stuff with combat and you wouldn't have to manually pick up stray arrows or items from mobs your wolf kills.

the only other thing i wish you could do with wolves is automate their health in some way, like give more utility to the bowl item so you can place it down for them to eat from so you don't have to constantly manage their health by looking at their tail. just minor quality of life stuff i guess.

idk, that's just my thoughts. i do like wolves in minecraft, they just feel rather lacking with the way some new mobs have so much going on, like the sniffer and allay and so on.

what are some your hc’s for tedtrent!! go crazy please!! :))

oh man oh man i know i have a whole bunch of them that i cannot for the life of me remember on the top of my head rn, which is why this ask is taking so long for me to answer but HMM...

i know that people like to make Trent out to be this, experienced Elder Gay type of guy but in my heart i know he's just as inexperienced to it as Ted (who, in my head, is bisexual, recently found out during his time in london or during the amsterdam episode even) and they're just two people falling in love in the most "I don't know how to do this, but I want to atleast try" way and at times get soo so so overwhelmed that someone loves them as much as they love the other. maybe their communication is absolute shit, maybe Trent doesn't even realize they're on their 3rd date and thought it was something similar to the indian restaurant where Ted just brought him along for dinner, i just think it could all be very silly, very intimate, just all around driving me up the damn walls!!!!!

oh also Trent absolutely hates Ted's whole, open jar peanut butter left on the counter for him to dip his finger into, thing. wishes daily that Ted would just use a darn spoon like a normal person 😭
