“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.”
― Muhammad Ali, famous fighter
At what point do we acknowledge that capitalism has effectively turned the whole internet into an overflowing molten landfill? And anything that hasn't become a dumpster fire YET inevitably will as soon as money takes priority over community? Whether it's compromising to make enough money to keep a site alive, or the owners being greedy little shits and just wanting more for the sake of having more.
More money. More money. More money. Even when it's enough, it's not enough. Fuck these corporations and their "growth at any cost" mentality. You know what else grows at any cost and eventually destroys the systems that brought it to life in the first place?
stumbled across this Red Flags cosplay [imgur link] of Val!
I can't imagine how mad it must be to see Her and Buttons just crop up in random corners of the internet- I do a double take everytime!
I'll never get tired of seeing the cosplays and the occasional fanart! There's so much effort going into them!
When I made the visuals for the chorus, I thought it'd be cool if they were memorable enough that if people saw the outfit/pose/composition elsewhere, they'd know where it was from. I'm glad it stuck with people! :)
Since imgur is about to delete a bunch of content and art on ao3 is often actually hosted on imgur, now would be a good time to save a copy of your favourite fan art. You can also save ao3 pages to the wayback machine. If it's adult content, you've got to add ?view=adult=true to the end of the url and delete #workskin, otherwise it just saves the proceed to adult content page.
