I keep seeing the take that authors on AO3 need to stop deleting their fics and instead to orphan them without any explanation of the consequences of orphaning a fic and as an author I really need to say something to this.

Stop telling people to just orphan their fics.

Orphaning a fic means giving up any and all ownership over it. No way to claim it back, edit it or delete it. Yes it's an archive but an author should still have the right to delete their work if they feel like they don't want it to be up anymore.

Readers always scream for authors to orphan their fics instead of deleting because they feel like they have a right to the fanworks that is shared with them for free. If it's so important to you to not lose a fic, download it. Also comment and encourage the authors, instead of telling them to give up all ownership to their work.

To authors, if you think about deleting your fics, there are other options you should employ first. If you don't want it connected to your name, put it into an anonymous collection. As long as it's in there, noone can see you wrote it, you still can edit ot or delete it and moderate comments on it. You can even move it to anther account, just create another one, add it as co author and then take your main account off. Then you can still edit it from your second account but it's no longer connected to your account.

If you don't want it to show anymore put it in a unrevealed collection, that way, the fic won't show up but it's still there, you can still see it, read comments and make it public again.

If you feel the urge to delete your fic, try one of these options first and see how you feel about it after a while, you can still delete or orphan afterwards, but this hopefully makes your decision easier.

Only orphan a fic if you're 100% sure. This is permanent, there is no way back from that, AO3 support will NOT help you if you did it on accident or change your mind. Don't listen to people telling you to just orphan it, make very sure, this is what you want.

@fl1ghtlessjay, @paws-and-mittens... I think it'd be so funny if I made a Shenaniganism community on here and see how many critters join. We can have all of Tumblr praising Baldbee.

Plsplsplspls tell me this is a good idea-

I love swimming so much because I can drop my human mask a little bit. The only downside is wet fur but thats a short term problem.

We so need to normalise other body types in the therian community, seeing a poc/chubby therian should be way more common

Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals

It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals

...So. I learned to render.

I was bored and watched some tutorials on Pinterest, and this is what came out of it. I was gonna add the crown, but metal proved to be very difficult to color, so I gave up and erased it from existence.

Shoutout to Ranboo (or at least their Minecraft skin) for being super fun to draw. :3

though i AM a beauceron/doberman with cropped ears, reminder that there is never a good reason to crop a theriform dog’s ears or dock their tail. what was done to me was cruel and unnecessary. don’t do the same to others

Reminder to eat food and drink water, even if it's just a little amount. I'm proud of you. :3

The fearmongering around medical transition for transmascs will never not be upsetting to me.

“you’re gonna look ugly as a man” “but you’re such a pretty girl, don’t change that” Wrong. You will look different after T, but you will look happy. You will probably grow hair and gain weight and look pretty different, and none of that is bad or makes you less desirable. You are going to look like you and that’s all that matters.

“T makes you angry” “you’re gonna be a scary man i won’t feel safe around you” Wrong. Testosterone does not “make” you angry. Messing with your hormones will mess with your emotions for sure, but you will not immediately become some scary predator when you start T. Being a man/masculine does not make you a threat, a predator, or inherently angry. That’s radfem shit.

“bottom growth is gross” “no one will want you with bottom growth” Wrong. Bottom growth is cool and a LOT of guys end up loving theirs a lot more than they thought they would. For a lot of people it is a desirable trait, there are people who find bottom growth hot and attractive. And! If you’re sure you don’t want it there’s things you can do to work around that, just talk to your provider.

“bottom surgery is super painful and not worth it” First off, call it phalloplasty, because that’s what you’re talking about. Second, yes it’s painful, it’s surgery. There are risks to it and complications can happen, but that’s true of any surgery. Phallo might not be for you, but it is life saving care for other folks. It is beautiful and should be talked about as life saving care and not as some afterthought thing that no one actually does.

Being transmasculine is a beautiful thing. Transitioning medically is not something every trans person wants, but if you notice yourself holding back for the reasons i’ve listed above (or similar) maybe reconsider.

Many of my life problems could be solved if I could perch in a tree and preen my feathers in the woods.

A tree branch giving me species dysphoria was not on my bingo card for this year. Anywho hope you critters have a lovely day!

Because school is approaching rapidly, shoutout to all the creatures out there who can't handle or struggle with a typical school environment.

- Shoutout to those with a 504

- Shoutout to those with an IEP

- Shoutout to those in special education classes

- Shoutout to those who go to an alternative school

- Shoutout to those who are homeschooled

- Shoutout to those with any sort of modified school schedule or experience

- Shoutout to those who cannot attend school

- Shoutout to those who dropped out of school

- Shoutout to those who attend typical school and, for whatever reason, cannot receive appropriate accommodations

- Shoutout to those with poor attendance

- Shoutout to anyone who struggles with school in general, for whatever reason

School is hard for some of us, but we're all in this together! I wish the best for my fellow students and wish the best for this school year. No matter your grades, attendance, or level of classes you take, you are seen, you are loved, and you are enough.
