Anti-GOP Fic Defense Project

Given the Situation^TM, which could lead to efforts - whether through the U.S. legal system or through soft-power influencing tumblr - to ban queer content, or purges of so-called "explicit" content which may be taken to include queer content, and given tumblr and other sites (like fanfiction.net and livejournal) HAVE abruptly and without warning purged fic before (both actually explicit and fic that was wrongly labeled as such): Can we work out an agreeable and doable method of archiving multi-author tumblr-hosted fics, especially including the speculative, branching what-if chains that follow prompts, which usually are NOT currently backed up anywhere? I believe archiveofourown.org to be the safest host, by far, for this purpose, because it was founded by and for fans for exactly this reason, owns its own servers, is a nonprofit funded purely by donations, protects its fic and authors with its own legal team, and it's committed to its policy of absolutely never censoring any fanworks or tags. Also in favor of ao3: I have seen people post fic on ao3 in choose-your-own-adventure style, with clickable links (presumably added directly via html?), which could be a good format to store multi-branch, multi-author fics, as compared to storing the branching fanwork in a linear series of chapters (though that may also work). But, how to handle authorial consent for archiving from all the multiple contributors to a multi-author fic? Do we archive and allow anonymization (e.g. a contributor can have their name removed or blacked out from the archived copy), or just archive and orphan it and say welp, these were public posts, and the total fanwork only makes sense when all parts of it are presents, so they must all stay public in order to meaningfully preserve the whole work? Ao3 also allows fics to be orphaned, so someone could post an archive copy of the tumblr fic, then orphan it, so that it cannot be deleted or edited by any particular user. This would prevent a situation where 1 contributor, or 1 random archiver, controls the archive copy of a particular fic unilaterally and could make edits to it without the consent of the contributing authors. But it would also prevent any anonymization of the contributing authors. The only alternative to a tumblr-to-ao3 archival project that might serve to preserve fic in the event of anti-fic calamity that I can think of currently would be if there is an easy method of downloading tumblr reblog chains (as local html?) and we just have a big drive to get as many people as possible to download and back up fic. This method would spread the archive copies all over the place, but it would be disorganized, some fic may end up lost, and accessibility of the fic would be much less. What are your thoughts about this? Am I missing obvious alternatives? Do some of you not even want the multi-author reblog fic to be preserved at all, preferring it to be ephemeral? (I'd find that deeply boggling but people are nothing if not sometimes deeply boggling.)

So after a comment I got from the lovely @dangara2610 I wanted to ask a question to the tangled fandom.

If I were to start a group where people were to cover various songs as the TTS characters, would you want to be a part of it?

If yes, what roles would you be interested in taking on, be it singing, making AMVs, or anything else?

This would be a passion project rather than a paid gig, since whether we were to stick with covers or branch out to originals, we would still technically be using copyrighted content unless we stopped associating our work with TTS

Also, would you prefer a casting call for every song, or to have set characters you play/roles you take on? It also wouldn't matter if there were a few duplicate roles, as different people could take on different songs. You could also voice multiple characters if you wanted, though only one per song.

As long as they are a tangled character, there would be no limits to who you could sing as, and the future may hold branching out into different fandoms

(Please note that though you could audition for anyone, characters would be offered based on who's voice you can imitate the best, rather than your favourites)

If you're interested in being a part of this if it were to take off, please DM me! I'd love to hear your ideas! Anyone from any background and with any level of ability in what they'd like to contribute can join, this is for fun after all!

EDIT: please contact @tbspiritss if you're interested in joining. Since I posted this, my main account's shadow ban was undone, so I've moved back to it 🩵

Okay, look.

This is not about Dream. If you want to repost and offer thoughts, go ahead. But remember this is not about Dream. I don’t care about Dream. This post has nothing to do with Dream.

This is about Nicholas Cantu. MMLeonardo’s voice actor.

Controversial take here, but I think MMLeonardo would be disappointed in Nicholas Cantu.

In regards to the posted video, I’m aghast. He was a jerk to his Uber Driver. He threatened murder and violence. He apparently saw himself as some kind of god compared to the others in the vehicle. Being drunk is not an excuse. Nicholas still had these thoughts and there are a number of allegations that can be made against him. Disgusting things were said. He was the one to say them. He knew a video was being taken- he ended it by inviting people to his socials.

He knew a video was being taken and he still said them.

Still not talking about Dream. This is not about Dream.

Nicholas Cantu is clearly full of himself. It’s saddening that he is a direct contrast to some characters that he plays.

MMLeo’s reputation can and will be effected by his voice actor’s dumb choices. People tend to base how they view movies on the actors. A bad egg in production will make the older audience look the other way. People will judge the show because of Nicholas.

That’s not fair to the MM boys.

They deserve their chance to be noticed.

MMLeo might not know what to say in response to Nicholas Cantu’s bad vibes, but I like to think his brothers would gang up on Cantu for giving attaching such a negative image to their sweetheart of an older brother. He deserves better.

For the people who reblog my things, which always leads to small boosts in people liking it after, you get one of the following:

A small kiss on the corner of your mouth and a longing look from afar all night at a party as I shyly think of something to say, but never do.

15 bags of yellow and green gummy candies in all forms I can find like worms, sharks, bears and rings.

Or!

A comforting dream of someone you miss, telling you that they miss you too as they laugh in the way you remember and make some dumb joke that makes you laugh and think "Haha, yeah.. that's so them".

When you reblog, let me know which one you pick.

i really enjoy looking through reddit threads related to death metal because the replies sound like a groupchat for cartoon villains

[desperatepleasures]

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

i’ve been thinking about innocuous photos like the one on the left. because it is my job to neglect the sprouts of imperialism and racism that accompanied my upbringing, i've been attempting to find solidarity even in the innocuous. and how easily it comes: marah and i, both schoolgirls who like cute things, both compelled by the desire to photograph our supplies after arranging them to be just-so. the photo on the right is an old one of mine.

if you were to ask yourself:

“how much do i have in common with a palestinian?”

i think the answer would be “everything.” maybe you’re united by the love you have for your pets, being fans of the same goth rock band, or the fact that, were something of severity to happen to your family, you’d also be online, asking for help in a way your elders might find it hard to wrap their heads around, and making sure people knew they could trust your campaign.

and if this were a message you were sending, i hope that your hope would remain in tact, because people like us, on the other end, would be doing everything they could to help you.

I know i’m functionally a gay DARE officer at this point but I do in fact feel some sort of way about Cocaine being back in vogue. Surely I sound like a square + narc and I’ll concede ok do whatever you want, nobody can materially stop another person from using drugs if they really want to 🤷🏻 I don’t really care that it’s hip to do party drugs, moreso I want to articulate a general level of caution and concern that I never see a sidecar of harm reduction and safe using practices along with the commonplace clips of people straight up snorting coke I’ve seen for “brat summer!!!1!!”

You 🫵 are not immune to ingesting fentanyl or any number of other additives. Do you think drugs at the gay club are different than the drugs people are taking under bridges and in gutters? I promise they’re not! So if you want to use drugs and continue being alive, do your part to be safe. Protecting yourself protects others and your community.

Do not accept drugs from strangers. Test your drugs with fentanyl test strips. Carry narcan and know how to administer it. Never use alone. Have an exit strategy if you’re using drugs in a public space. Know the contact information for your local harm reduction groups, overdose emergency hotline, and if you need/want it, addiction treatment orgs. This is all the bare minimum for community care if you intend to be out in the world using drugs. Mainly I encourage you all to be buzzkills if it means you don’t have to die of an accidental overdose. Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 40. I have a whole lot of social workers in my network and however bad you think the synthetic opioid crisis is, it’s worse. The war stories I’ve heard from my people on the ground are… The shit of nightmares. Don’t let it be you or anybody you love.

If you live in the state of Georgia, DM me for a longer list of resources.

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).
