Mr. Lankmann sir why the FUCK are your arms white now

[madamevandeleur]

Why does posting for a new fandom feel like walking into a bar and having everyone just stare at you. Like I'm sorry I'm new here pls don't hurt me

Gravity Falls, The Magnus Archives, Welcome to Night Vale and The SCP foundation all exist in the same universe and Cognito Inc. from Inside Job has to deal with all of them on a weekly basis

[theholmwoodfoundation]

Inspired by our friends @224bbaker who posted theirs on their BlueSky - they very kindly allowed us to follow suit!

So here is our PowerPoint on why YOU should listen and support The Holmwood Foundation!

Convinced? The Link to our Kickstarter is here:

Malevolent, TMA, and Dracula Daily fans! Lend me your ears!

Are you looking for a new spooky horror podcast? Then might I recommend, The Holmwood Foundation?

Malevolent fans, do you like possession and co-dependency? How about traveling on a cross country road trip over the English countryside with a decayed magical possessed severed head? Do you like fighting the Horrors™️ with impractical weapons like a stolen camping stake? Then you’ll love Holmwood!

And Magnus Archive girlies, you like tape recorders and bureaucratic secretive organizations investigating supernatural artifacts and events, right? How about archivists actually doing an archiving job? We can only hope Then you too have lots to look forward to with the Holmwood Foundation! And don’t forget a healthy dose of queer representation to go with that 😉

For the Dracula Daily and Re:Dracula fans out there, this one is for you at heart! The story takes place 130 years after the events of Dracula with the main characters Madeline Townsend and Jeremy Larkin getting possessed by the spirits of Mina and Jonathan Harker after Dracula’s skull is uncovered in an archaeological dig and something dark and dangerous is released into the world trying to claw its way back. Follow Maddie and Jeremy under the guidance of Mina and Jonathan as they attempt to end the threat of Dracula coming back once and for all.

The Holmwood Foundation is currently being kickstarted with about 4 days left in their campaign as of writing this (10:30pm CST, November 9, 2024) and they are about 76.5% of the way towards their goal. I really want to see this podcast come to fruition and see where the story goes, so if you are interested, listen to the first episode that’s already out now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Acast, or anywhere you can listen to podcasts, and if you like it, consider donating to the campaign!

You can find the kickstarter here and the first episode for the podcast here!

The Holmwood’s original posts can be found linked here and here

And a list of the episode titles can be found here!

Just to clarify, I'm not being paid to promote this or anything, I just have an unhealthy obsession with Dracula content and a desire for More that I can't get if the story doesn't come out :(

But it's so good guys, I promise it's so good, please listen to it I love it so much 💕

One month until the election...holy shit.

Okay, I'm just going to point out that Project 2025 proposes a sweeping ban of "pornography." So if you write or read smutty fanfiction, or want to protect access to sites like AO3 in general, vote for Harris.

Happy birthday to the Flickr Foundation!

Happy birthday to the Flickr Foundation - the biggest, best archive of no-restriction, public domain photos on the web, with over 100 participating institutions, including the Library of Congress!

The Flickr Foundation is structured as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, with an ambitious, 100-year plan to catalog, safeguard, and make available a vast trove of images that belong to all of us.

They are taking the "access" part seriously - making sure that the competing priorities of "getting and storing everything" and "letting everyone use everything" don't come down on the side of a vast, musty archive that no one sees - and no one defends when it's on the chopping block.

You can already search Flickr for millions of CC images, but these come with strings attached, requirements for attribution and follow-on licensing. The Commons, on the other hand, is entirely free to use. Search for yourself!

[krystal-prisms]

I like to imagine that the Magnus Institute, Nightvale and the SCP Foundation all are present in the same really fucked up universe, fully aware of eachother and they're all just warily side eying everyone else while doing their own thing

[creatorbiaze]

sometimes i forget if something is from the Magnus Archives or the SCP foundation & now I'm tempted to make a poll series that's like "SCP or Dread Power: *random scp or tma thing*"

update i made a blog for it; @scp-or-dread-power

Writing my Magnus Archives fanfic and I was having trouble starting this statement. It was gonna be in the classic "I'm a good person, I just sometimes eat babies" format, but I realized that's a very British attitude. This is the Usher Foundation. We're Americans

So I changed the format to "Yeah, I eat babies, and here's why I'm entirely justified in doing so."
