But they can't control they timing of world events?? They fundraise every year during October and April, and have done so for years. October is also breast cancer awareness month, are the organizers of race for the cure events also bad people because they held their annual fundraising event?
Also, they are a charity, not a business. No one is making money here, and there is no profit to cut into. Any money they get goes towards their bills. If they get lucky and there is some money left over after everything is paid, they save it. That way, there are funds in case of an emergency, like damaged servers or unexpected lawsuits. Or in case the next fundraiser doesn't bring in enough money to cover the bills! This could happen for a variety of reasons, including economic downturn, a global pandemic, or even the fact that some people are donating to help in Gaza.
can i be real? i think ao3 should die for doing a donation pool for themselves with everything going on
#and before anyone comes out here and says they should get sued for anti reasons#just remember we are talking about like disney sueing you specifically because you wrote something gay about one of their characters#that is why we have ao3#that is why it is the way it is#to protect writers and readers from censorship and bullying from corporations#to allow fanfiction to exsist at all#you dont have to donate#thats fine!! no one blames you! everyone gets it!!!#helping where you can with Palestinian is obviously a life or death situation!! donating to ao3 is not!#but it doesnt mean they were wrong to hold their regular fundraising event#like you landlord isnt going to stoping asking for rent so you can donate to gaza. why would their bills be any different?

starco, something to think about...
Ok, so it has been almost a whole week and Iâve been celebrating about this âfinalâ they brought to the horrible curse that was cast on Marco and star almost 4 years ago.
It really is good to see that the one most affected by the curse (Marco) is finally free of that... disgusting situation he was in, but since we are talking about Disney, and considering what we have seen during the third season there is a huge possibility that they will spoil everything and come with a âwe loved each other before the curseâ scenario, even though there were no signs at all (specially from Marco) that there was anything but friendship between them.
Now about this bad transition we have three direct responsables!
The first one being the curse of the bloodmoon itself as it was the direct thing to affect Marco's personality and interfer with his decisions after being cast on both Marco and star, they both acted differently, slightly at first and almost unnoticeable on star but on Marco it was... quite obvious specially in season 3! But there were times in season 2 when you were all like âwtf? why did he do that?â Running with scissors is a good example. Follow me on this ok? Marco decides he doesnât want to return back home as he has a different life in Hekapooâs dimension (making star useless as now the one who has his attention in the âadventure cool sectionâ is H-poo) but then star asks him âWhat about your parents or your friends... or... me?â we see Marco do something quite particular... that in this last episode (Curse of the Bloodmoon) had a special sound and now everything is different! Marco had decided already, he was a 31 years old man, had made up his mind, but the curse forced him to change it. And I honestly hated that part of the episode! How come star decided to casually forget mentioning Jackie She should have said âWhat about your parents or your friends... or... Jackie... or me?â (some people have argued that star had feelings towards Marco before the bloodmoon but most of them base that presumption on the book*).
Now, the second direct responsable is star, for not accepting Marco's advice when she decided to go see what Tom had prepared for that party, even though Marco had already been right many times before about things related to the outcome of how bad everything could be if she continued using magic, doing what she considered right, following her own ideas, etc. and that only because of the Mary sue powers they ended up a-okay. (Honestly she should have at least said "Marco has already been right sometimes I should listen to him this one time, I mean, he is my friend.â) But no, she didn't, and do you wanna know why she didnât listen to him? Because star is a strong independent âwarriorâ princess and that makes it all fine, right? I mean as long as a girl says that she is a strong and independent woman it doesnât matter how much damage she broughts to anyone, we have to see it as positive. So yeah, sarcasm aside, a huge chunk of responsability falls on her shoulders**.
Finally the third responsable for how badly the curse developed are both âthe plotâ and Daron & the team that helped her, we all have heard some couple of things about the show, starting from the fact that Daron was already quite sure of how she wanted the show to be, she had more or less worked on it in her head since she was... how old 14? 13? More or less a teen age for sure, and therefore had been munching on that bone every once in a while for the last 15 years! Also is worthy mentioning that she said a couple of times that she had changed things during the course of the years but the idea was there, as solid as it could be and with steps she wanted to follow, now, following her trajectory so far and knowing a couple of her works we know she, for some reason, liked to add some drama in her stories***. And also she seems to be more or less on board the âsocial/genres/letâs-break-the-stereotypes trainâ although that could also be Sabrina Cotungo, who, by the way, got promoted to director for Season 3 (promoted might be a bad term as what actually happened is that the other two guys in charge of directing the show in Season 1 & 2 left after they finished), therefore took care of some of the importante decisions for the third season and apparently is the one to blame for it to be so... shity, Now I wonder if she was in charge of the story boards in the episodes where there was social drama issues... Â Anyway, returning to the topic of blamming the horrible development of the bloodcurse and the third group of responsables, Daron (as far as we can asume) had this idea of Marco being a really tough subject for star when love was in the middle, I wouldnât be surprised if she actually had planned for her to fall in love with Marco but that she would also suffer about it cause he had eyes for other girl! The thing is they developed in more than one episode the story for that to happen, they made Marco a really brilliant co-protagonist and many felt quite nice with him finally getting to get the chick he wanted, many out there celebrated it, of course there were also starco-fans who hated it, but the thing is we canât deny the way they two got together was good! ponyhead helped Marco and Jackie to break the ice, to finally have him telling her she was his crush, accidentally of course but she did, star helped as well, but at the end of the episode we had a strong hint that she liked Marco, that was only a hint, something that star had not really gave her mind too much time to think about, she wrote in her diary something about Marco, how she felt about him and didnât want him to read it because obviosly she probably wrote that she felt something strange, like butterflies in her stomach when seeing him. She was more or less oblivious to how strong her feelings where and I feel like the real issue here is that star was never meant to end with Marco, I feel that Daron wanted her to suffer a little for Marco and then turn the page, to return back to Mewni and continue her life, sad, angry with herself, but ready to give her heart another chance to find a good guy to love.
*: For those out there who donât know about it, every cartoon of the last decade (perhaps even a little more than a decade) has done some thing(s) like that before, bringing something special or that expands the lore and that exist only in a type of merchandise that you have to buy in order to read and know. MLP, Adventure time, etc. Itâs not something ânewâ that SVTFOE has and in all of those mentioned cases they had been clear about one thing: the book/magazine/comic IS CANON but it is a SEPARATE CANON, they are not interconnected, even if the author says so. Lauren Faust for example! She had said before some things about specific ponies, ideas she had or things she had planned for some moment in the story... but the show has pointed at other direction. So yeah, we can respect the book but we canât really take it as 100% interconnected canon. **Ok, I have to point something else about this star issue, yes, she is not the only one responsable, some could argue that Tom is the âmain responsableâ there, but to anyone other there wanting to say that Iâd like to know your answer to this: Did Tom plan involved star and Marco dancing? The answer is a huge NO, yeah he is the one who wanted to dance with star, something bad cause he would have never told her that her sudden change on feeling about him was due to the curse, but it was something he had thought for what he believed was the best, he had never thought about Marco being his friend at the time nor did he planned for them to have their souls linked. And,  as people suggest star was already a little bit in love with Marco before the curse so, that would explain why those feelings were slowly increasing in her heart for the latino boy, but then there is a little something I wanna talk about.  Star managed to finally overcome her crush on Marco and decided she wanted to start dating Tom once again, after she tried to dress him like Marco, overcame her addiction to his musk, etc. She returned his hoodie and closed the portal... they could have ended it right there, Marco could have returned just casually and for some episodes, fighting Meteora and stuff. ***About the drama that Daron had done in some other projects she did before SVTFOE, we have at least a couple which are the most well-known ones. There is this short animated thingy where the girl is captured by some folks, they take her away and her ���boyfriend/husband/lover/whateverâ takes it on his shoulders to go and rescue her, when he arrives and is all ready to break the âbad guyâ it is revealed it actually is a Bad girl, a MILFy looking bad girl who acts all sassy with him and in a matter of seconds they are kissing right there in front of the âprincessâ. The short clearly points to the idea of âhey girls, never expect a boy to free you from a dangerous situation, free yourself and punch his face because you are strong and independentâ⌠you probably understand my point, is not a bad lesson but I feel some other Disney princesses did it a lot, lot better. So anyway, the idea is clear, the âmain characterâ who casually  looks quite similar to star. The second short I remember is this one  where this girl is cutting with scissors some pieces of cloth that other two girls pass her, to work, she is pretty much daydreaming and ends up being fired, her dreams are all like stuff from the 70s you know, way too colorful and stuff (this short is all drawn in black and white) which is fine, but the design and others⌠makes it feel odd. (Personal opinion). The third one is probably the most famous one, this young girl leaves her house after her older sister tells her to stay away while she sees the pictures of her ex, which seems to be dating someone else, the young girl (has a lizard as her pet, she talks and hears the pet talk) enters a pub and drinks some beverage she steals and has some kind of alusination and gets scared, fortunately the older sisterâs ex recognizes her and acts as if he had been looking for her to help her out of the situation, taking her back home and⌠thatâs it. As you can see two of these three shorts have things in common, a protagonist daydreaming with what seems to be âmagic in her imaginationâ which is what we know star was going to do  (she didnât have magic, they suggested Daron to make the magic real minutes before she presented the story board for the pilot)  and secondly there is some naughty thing going on as both the blonde princess and the older sister seem to âlikeâ their couple/ex while they are kissing/dating someone else.
