Ok Then.

update: I’ve received an email from Redbubble stating that the product has been removed for now, though apparently they can submit a “counterclaim”. But since they’re blatantly stealing, hopefully they won’t want to drag this mess even further.

So i just found my work being stolen and sold on Redbubble by this user called Neko Noelle. 

Oh, the thief is also selling works by other artists but I don’t recognize a lot of them….plus a deathnote journal where they literally ripped off the death note logo….=_=;;. 

Also, Please note that I do NOT sell my work anywhere at all (except maybe really old ones on my deviantart. but nothing new in the last 2 years). 

Thankyou. This post is the reality check every fandom needs right now.

We’ve all seen the rather… Explosive and often hateful dialogue regarding content on Ao3. Obviously from my previous post it should be clear I am fully against the labeling and censorship demanded by some people on Tumblr. Since my mad has nicely resolved I figured I would explain just why I feel the whole discord is ludicrous. Beyond the fact that censorship is most always abused, narrow-minded and wrong-headed, I think the idea that Ao3 shouldn’t host fiction involving rape, underage content etc because it is upsetting or triggering to some people misses a very important point. The point that it misses is that it is one each of us to protect ourselves. This idea that anyone is entitled to have their metaphorical hand held when interacting with fandom deeply disturbs me.

As someone with very real, and very debilitating mental illness, I loathe the idea that anyone but the person with the issue or illness or experience be responsible for safeguarding their comfort and health. There have been people in my life that have excluded me for my sake, instead of allowing me to decide if I was capable of attending or managing the situation. While the intent in each case was good, the result is infantilizing. Over the course of my recovery from a very dark and helpless place, the power of my choices became very important to me, and I fully believe it is our choices, especially when we are struggling with mental health, that place the most significant wrong in our recovery. 

We all make bad choices, we all make choices that harm ourselves and others. But in Ao3, and fandom at large there are many tools with which to protect ourselves. There are absolutely genres of fiction, both professionally published and fan created that I will not read because they disturb me. This does not mean that those that enjoy these works, or create these works are wrong. All this means is that I need to not read this for my own comfort and health, and really that’s an easy thing to do. Tags are so common now that in most cases we can avoid those things that hurt us. We can create search settings on Ao3 that block the content we don’t want to see, and generally we can all enjoy our fandoms, safe.

Sometimes an author will not use the correct tags, likely just out of forgetfulness, inexperience, not malice. In these cases, which have been my experience outside the norm, the best thing to do is to send a polite message to the author, mentioning a concern regarding tags, and then move on. This does not discount the discomfort that comes from having your illness or memories triggered, but life is not sanitized, we are going to get triggered. It’s how we respond to being harmed that matters. We don’t recover for our wounds by banning fiction, by hurling abuse at someone, or any of that garbage. We recover with time, and we recover with will, and that is on us.

tfw when you were born in 99 so you're forever the schrodingers cat of every single movement. Too young to be a millenial and too old to really fit into gen z territory. Fanfiction.net and it's shit search feature? Yes. ao3 aka the holy grail? Yes. The 90's? Yeah I relate. Growing up without tech? Been there. But also you are young enough to have experienced the rise of tech/internet and the culture that evolved from it. Like wtf? What the actual fuck. Being born in 99 actually sucks ass.

Growing up as a gen y in a fandom: lemon, lime, do not own characters, trigger warning, fanfiction.net, AMV vids, straight vs gay ship wars, happy for any content because everyone was homophobic in RL, keeping identity a secret online

Growing up as a gen z in a fandom: antis, NOTP, DNI, you have no morals if you ship this ship and you’re a terrible person, gay vs gay ship wars, making hate blogs, trying to go about your business, discourse, flagging tags, A03

😂😂😂

blueoatmeal answered your question “requests?”

Jazz underwater.

Omfg! this is too funny XD

this person spent $100 on this application

Prowl is not sure how come Jazz gets to have a Noivern and he’s got a baby Noibat, he’s kind of embarrassed his team is kind of the ‘cute’ side. mwahahaha….his Houndour isn’t very sure what they’re getting into. I was going to give him a Frogadier instead of a Fletchinder for his evolved pokemon but I thought Prowl having to raise his ‘mons was too delightful to let it pass.

Gotta work for that Greninja, Prowler!

And working on a design for Sideswipe in Break the Chain. >,> need to update that now that I’m writing new bits of it.

Lolz!

Optimus: Where’s Jazz?

Prowl: Allow me… MADONNA IS OVERRATED!!!

Jazz: *Gets out of a vent* WHAT DID YA JUST SAID?!!!

Prowl: There he is.

Rewatching transformers animated again and it's still as I remember it, dadimus prime and his broken but still good family faking it til they make it.

Decepticon?? More like Incepticon.

so this is my new favorite reaction for basically anything

Call em "popsicles" here in Ohio. Never knew there were other names.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
