hooray, learned beloved is 1) safe and sound (made me very happy) and 2) still had to go to work (made me >:| at his job). but most importantly, he's all right 💖

and now to unclench

Dear NaNoWriMo,

Your desire to provide supports for disabled and other marginalized people is admirable, but maybe you should give them supports that don't involve actual plagiarism?

Like, presuming that disabled and marginalized folks somehow might not be able to write without using AI text generators that only create word salad from stuff other people (including other disabled and marginalized people) have written isn't a great take.

Sadly, Amir does not seem interested... 🥲 Even after Cherry offered so nicely! They switch tactics but it seems even death stares aren't going to cut it.

Some people just really hate fruitcake, I guess.

Hey, Winter, do you know the Lily AU on Ao3? The author is using a bunch of your art as references for the characters.

I know now and I have already sent them a message

Thank you for warning me

Good morning to everyone except who pronounce Jean like gene

jonathan does not hate mike jonathan is the founding member of the mike wheeler defence club who figured out that mike is possessed when mike was unable to make that clear connection himself and jonathan is ready to go full monster hunter again if vecna doesn't learn to keep his mind to himself

It occurs far too much 😔

[fandomsarefamily1966]

My lovely mutual @sigelfire just reminded me that Paul has actually been knighted, and I'm honestly surprised more fan artists haven't grabbed that and run with it.

[isca-rambles]

yeesh, had a very fleeting encounter with the 'other' side of the fandom earlier while browsing social media. you know, the side that ships actors very loudly and has their whole life revolve around real life people and the fictional characters they play? staying firmly in this little bubble I've found here and i'm not budging. no more exploring for me. i've been in way too many fandoms that've ruined a show by being creepy. hopefully they all get blocked by relevant cast and crew and grow up.

DawBell uses H name to get attention on JC and rehab JC's image. //

PR companies don't have that much power over a client. Harry would fire them if they were connecting him to a more controversial client against his will and to his detriment. He's just not bothered about the rumours surrounding James, not enough to end the friendship.

Why can't you accept that James Corden is Harry's friend just as Nizam Kabir is Louis' friend? People do stay friends with problematic people they've known since they were teenagers, especially if the behaviour isn't directed at them . I do myself. There's no need to invent conspiracies around Dawbell.

Hi, anon!

We don't know how much power DawBell's got over Harry, could be little or could be a lot. On their website they list the services they provide. One of them is "Media Navigation" which is "Comprehensive media management & coordination of promo opportunities". JC is their top client in Entertainment and Harry in Music. One planned pap outing together can be a coincidence, five or six is a coordinated promotional effort.

This is all very reminiscent of H and Nick Grim*haw when they were both under Hackford Jones.

From a business perspective H being seen this much with JC is detrimental to his reputation and image. JC is known to be a horrible, inconsiderate, arrogant person who looks down on others and throws temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. It's all well documented and publicly known. Nobody likes him and he's hardly got celebrity friends. JC is mocked and i'm surprised he still get gigs. There's been no public apology from JC for the way he's treated people. He's not forgiven by the public.

Harry can't be blind to everyone's opinions about JC, he's probably witnessed his horrible behaviour himself too. He also can't be blind to the fact that JC dumped Louis like a rock after 1D, and clings to H because of his fame. JC would have dumped H if he wasn't beneficial to him. Have no doubts about it. So to me it's not a real friendship, it's a mutual beneficial PR friendship.

I don't care if 30 year old Harry is actually friends with 45 year old JC. If you believe that they leisurely take citrus fruit bicycle trips to nurture their blossoming friendship, and paps just happens to take pictures of them together, then you do you.

From a business perspective it's a shit move on Harry's part. TPWK-Harry won't help out a Treat People Like Shit-friend like this several times when it's in danger of hurting his own image. Harry can have as many horrible friends he wants to, but he doesn’t need to actively be papped with them and promote them. The association is hurting his image, and DawBell wouldn't have allowed it if JC wasn't also a client of theirs.

It is hurting Harry's image and he looks like a hypocrite. So the only explanation to me is that it's a contractual obligation, or DawBell is cashing in a favour. I think they're banking on H's reputation handling this attempt at JC's image rehab, but don't be fooled to believe Harry's getting anything out of this situation, except headlines.

To the second anon - there is a difference between staying friends with problematic people and actively helping promoting them. That's equal to publicly supporting them. If Ni*am was a celebrity and Louis was plugging his stuff it would be bad for his image, but not as bad for his image as it is for H. Louis already has a homophobic image so it would be more in line of what to expect. JC is doing the opposite of what H is preaching so this is worse for H.

Please, do not be naive about all this. It's all business.

Y'ALL.... TAG YOUR GOOD OMENS SPOILERS OR I'LL PERSONALLY GET YOU

[reviilo]

slightly obsessed with power and angel being besties...

[sparklywaistcoat]

Man, there's nothing like (derogatory) clicking on the blog of a new follower and the first thing you see is this gigantic naked ass.

Why, thank you, new follower, I congratulate you on your fine posterior. However, an eyeful of your actual hindquarters in all their glory was not what I wanted with my morning tea.

Like, tumblr has tools that allow you to post pictures of your nethers while simultaneously preventing you from mooning people who don't want to see how round in the counter you are. Please use them.

Also? Blocked.

So, I didn't do this when @sharpbutsoft tagged me initially. But now it looks like I'm going to have some free time over the next few days, so I'd like it if you all would make me work:

Rules:

Post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post.

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in or just post.

Wips:

alibi

sick day

in the life

Steve loves rocky

Snippet (from sick day)

“Isn’t there a drug store, or a train station with a pay phone you can use?”

“Oh, yeah, at Newby’s.” Dustin’s eye’s lit up, but immediately dimmed. “When I’ve got a nickel, at least.”

Money was a problem that was easy to solve. Robin was already up and going for her purse.

Refraining from tagging because pressure only works for some of us. If it works for you, consider yourself tagged. (And if you tag me in your post, I'll definitely ask for one of your wips)
