//Sorry for interrupting Adoption Sundays, but something happened and I need to talk about it publicly.

Apparently, an alt-right blog has been reposting my (pokemon) art without my knowledge. They have NO relationship with me or my main blog, and I have already blocked and reported them.

Most of my art seems to have been deleted from there after I went through the appropriate hoops to do so, but while combing through their blog I saw they interacted as well with other Pokeblr RP blogs such as @pokemonshelterstories unfortunately. You might want to block and check if they reposted your art as well.

Suffice to say, I am pro-palestine, pro LGTB and would never condone any transphobic, racist or misogynistic behavior

Blog and @ under the cut.

Don't interact with the blog, harass them or anything of the like. Block, Report them for Hate speech and move on

They post a TON of content to hide the reposts and the bigotry. I don't recommend searching through the blog directly but through looking for your @ or image search

Thank you @spooky-enthusiast for letting me know all of this

If anyone has to leave and don't know where to go for sure, there's a spot here.

Even if you don't have to but know someone who has to leave, please let them know there's more options too. It may be a distance but better safe than sorry.

OOC: Exploring Online Fandom Roleplay - Coming Soon!

Art by piscesdisco.art.

OOC is a book that deep dives into online fandom roleplay, across fandoms and platforms and decades. It covers why people roleplay, the connections they make doing it, and the etiquette and subcultures we see in different roleplaying communities.

I've interviewed dozens of roleplayers, surveyed hundreds more, and I've been a roleplayer in fandom spaces myself for over 15 years. If we don't write and save information about our niche internet fan communities and how they worked, we'll lose it, and I've realized there's such a huge lack of literature on fandom. I decided to put together this book to cover the topic of online fandom roleplaying, to preserve that history.

Our communities are full of trans and queer people, and the ways we use roleplay to explore gender and sexuality are highlighted in the book. Other topics covered include: the safety of minors in roleplaying spaces, the death of Omegle, how Homestuck and Sherlock and Star Trek all had big impacts on the way online roleplay works, why roleplay attracts neurodivergent people, and a lot more! There's an entire chapter covering roleplay over Tumblr.

Check out a few of the quotes from roleplayers I interviewed here.

A lot of people are embarrassed by their history of online roleplaying, keeping it to themselves, and I think it's about time we overcome the cringe associated with roleplay and treat it like the vibrant expression of creativity that it is.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please share this post and sign up here to be notified when the Kickstarter launches:

This is a small project, so any interaction and support helps a lot.

How do you learn to speak in Shakespeare? Also how are you Mercutio? Is Cheese Escague still around

good afternoon, noble anonymous

ummmm... I know not what thou art saying. this is the language ev'ryone speaketh, that I know of. perhaps thou art coming from a far away place, where the language is different. in that case, one who is a speaker of my language can help thee learn it; I can help too, if thou want'st!

also, thank ye for asking how I am! I am doing fine, and I hope thou art well too.

my son cheese is indeed around; he hath grown a lot, too! he hath turned into a courteous young man. I am very proud of him.
