I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

#yes and i would argue im better than average #text post

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

#silene dioica #red campion #they grow wild in the meadows and i love their gentle pink and fuzzy stems #flowers #text post #but as for flowers you can find in a shop #hydrangeas #and dahlias

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#the first chapter is the gayest thing ive read in a while #blatantly so #jeeves and wooster

bagginshield brainrot so bad my dream last night was a bagginshield one where thorin was a vampire watching bilbo from afar and just keeping an eye on him to ensure hes safe until one night bilbo gets stuck out in the cold and it morphed into thorin rescuing him and carrying him inside i dont remember more than that

#reminds me of a dream i had way back when #where the whole company were vampires apart from bilbo #and when bilbo had a cold and thorin goes to check on him #hunger strikes and he almost bites #but only almost #and bilbo being half lucid from the fevers like #wow we were about to kiss #bagginshield

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

Orlissa

(i can't believe I have to say this)

#you dont steal from your friends #and just because machine learning tools dissociate the act of theft from the creator(s) youre stealing from doesnt make it less true #fandom discourse

How not to fanfic. (See also: What the "no monetizing" policies on AO3 are there to protect us from.)

Don't publish your fanfic on Amazon for monetary gain.

Definitely don't then send a print copy of your published fanfic to the copyright holder, thus making them aware of its existence.

Especially don't then sue a licensee of the copyright holder for infringing on your...copyright?

chronic migraine should be considered a debilitating disability and I'm tired to pretend otherwise

#i do not have it myself #been lucky enough that there has never been a First Incident #but it runs in my family #and ive taken care of people who have them for a long time #anyone who says theyre not disabling dont know what theyre talking about #migraines #disabilities
