#Help us spread the word!

[black-quadrant]

on my knees begging you to please look up “squick” if you don’t know it and help bring it back to fandom space by using it. it’s a valuable word we’re missing that through normalizing could solve some of the more prevalent communication issues.

ORV Gotcha For Gaza: Interest Check!

CALLING ALL ORV FANS!

We are ORV fans who want to hold a charity event to raise funds for Palestine, inspired by the success of previous fandom Gotcha for Gaza charity events. We need YOUR help to fill in our interest check to see how many are interested in such an event.

HOW IT WORKS (for donors):

Fans who donate at least US$5 (or equivalent) to a verified Palestinian fundraiser can claim free ORV fanart/fanfics. (You will be donating directly to the fundraiser, we will not be collecting any money from you.)

Donors then submit a screenshot of the donation receipt or confirmation email as proof of donation.

Donors can then submit a prompt for an ORV fanart/fanfic you want to see. Your prompt will be assigned to a creator.

FOR CREATORS:

You can sign up as a fanartist, fic writer, or both. Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level!

Creators will be assigned a prompt from a donor. (You will be able to state in the creator sign-up form what kind of prompts you are willing, or not willing to create for, and you can say no to prompts that you're not comfortable with.)

You will be given at least 1 month to finish your piece, which can be minimum of a cleaned-up sketch or 1000 word fic.

Once done, you can post it on Twitter/Tumblr/AO3 and tag the donor (or if you'd rather be anonymous, we can post it for you).

Starkid Innit Friendship Bracelets

A PSA to everybody going to starkid innit, after hearing people’s thoughts the consensus on dress codes seems to be wear whatever you want and cosplay is encouraged

However I've also decided I'm going to officially declare project friendship bracelet a GO

(yes we are full on stealing this from the swifties but opportunities for a big UK starkid event don't come around very often and I'm determined to make the most of it)

So hopefully we'll get lots of people making cute (or unhinged) friendship bracelets and we can all share/trade them at the concert and it will all be very cute and please can we actually make this happen?

I'm counting on people to commit to this otherwise I'm going to feel like a right idiot, but it would be fantastic if loads of people got involved!

Also if you could help me to spread the word that'd be fab. I'll do my best but I have made a grand total of 20 tweets and 0 tiktoks in my time lol

Thanks for all your support, I can't wait to see what you all make, and I leave you with this inspiring image of this afternoon's creation:

This blog will not be updating this week out of respect for the strike. Please do what you can and donate to Palestinian charities and relief efforts.

I have personally donated to PCRF but there are many others worth your time. UNRWA is worthwhile as is ESims for Gaza, not to mention the many gofundmes for refugees.

And even if you can't donate I highly suggest you spread the resource posts you can so as to keep information available.

There is no fucking way that the devs for splatoon aren't aware of the problem, like, they even removed the votes from the sneak peek but like, they aren't willing to fix the ACTUAL problem that is the non-regional votes.

A part of me wished they had fixed that sooner because its SO OBVIOUS who would have won if it were regional, but no, it's shiver everytime and we don't even stand a chance against her :/

And the worst part is that if they do not fix this before the final fest, I fear of what it might become.

Idk, it's kinda....sad, really, like...ugh, it just all feel so hopeless now....

Also, was gonna put on tags but if people are to reblog this, then I need everyone to see this

Do NOT put the blame on shiver, it is NOT her fault, you guys are blaming the wrong person, we need to address the actual problem and point the fingers at the REAL culprit and that is Nintendo for not doing anything about this, obviously Japanese people are going to choose someone who represents their culture, I almost do the same by supporting big man (I'm Brazilian), I don't vote for him often as he doesn't have the themes I tend to like, but I still like him a lot just because of that little fact.

So please, stop throwing hate at her and start trying to hold Nintendo accountable

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

ORV taught us about the power of stories to save a life.

What if you, too, could use the power of stories to save lives - by drawing/writing to raise funds for Gaza?

HOW IT WORKS:

Fanartists/fic writers sign up to fill prompts that donors will submit. Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level!

Fans who donate at least US$5 (or equivalent in other currencies) to a verified Palestinian fundraiser can claim a free ORV fanart/fic of any prompt they want.

Fanartists/fic writers will be matched with prompts and have at least 1 month to finish their works.

The Well of Loneliness is one of the most famous (if not THE most famous) lesbian novel of all time. It is not a niche text that's only survived on Project Gutenberg – it's literally still in print!

It WAS the subject of an obscenity trial, and some copies were seized and destroyed, but not nearly all of them. It's great that you're giving people access to the book, but worth knowing the full context!

Wow, thank you for telling me! I probably could have done more of a google on this one, but in my defense, I was doing embroidery at the time. The hbomberguy video only said "all copies were ordered burned", so I'm very glad that many many people got to keep their lesbian WW1 ambulance drivers

tbh as someone with bpd, the way people talk abt fitz makes me feel physically ill like wdym youre inherently toxic because you idolize certain people wdym youre evil because of mere thought patterns wdym there must be no reason for you to be this way youre just a bad person wdym you’re undeserving of love and literally being alive because you feel emotions really strongly

(the issue is that they take these traits he inherently has and says he’s toxic for stuff he can’t control it’s never his behaviors and if it is they blow it way out of proportion??)

also hi don’t use narcissistic psychopath sociopath etc as descriptors for yes even the villains (this part of the post isn’t meant to be really mean, ik that language is normalized but yeah let’s not use mental health language and/or outdated terms in a stigmatizing manner!)
