#thank you so much everyone!!!

omg i love these 19 and 29??

19. What headcanon do you always include in your stories?

Hmm, I guess this kinda goes for the entire fandom. Because I'm sure most people in this space feel this way. But it will be Homelander's capacity for love. I don't think it's as self-serving as some make it to be (or the show makes it to be). Anytime I browse The Boys subreddit, people there believe that Homelander is incapable of love. And I just don't see it that way. I mean if that were true in my eyes, none of my fics would work! I also don't think he's shallow.

However a more controversial one... although I haven't written it yet. But I believe that he's capable of change and maybe even a redemption arc with the right person there to guide him. 29. Which fic would you most like to have fan art done for?

oopsie haha, literally just posted that one here.

So, congrats to @saturn-sends-hugs who was apparently my 10,000 reblog! 🤣 Have a celebratory croissant!!! 🥐

Seriously though, 10,000?! I'm always shocked that enough people find my posts interesting enough to get 10 reblogs, let alone a thousand times that. But thank you so much for interacting with this page!

Sending much love to all of you! You're all fantastic!!! 🩵

LITERALLY CRIED SO MUCH during all of it, i started trembling and feeling sick and i had to PAUSE THE EP TO TAKE SOME MEDICE LMFAO. oh my god. it was so beautiful, and the conclusion was so perfect, i don’t think i’ll be recovering from it any time soon. thank you so so much to dana terrace and the entire owl crew for such a beautiful and amazing journey, this show will forever and ever an ever have a special place in my heart. you guys are out of this world. <3

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.

links to some translations under the cut

и заодно выложу пару любопытным образом перекликающихся переводов потрясающих фанфиков!

и еще одна покорившая меня зарисовка rem - а тени пусть уходят

[unforth]

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.
