I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.

my biggest fear is making a whole rant post about my favorite character or show and then completely fucking it up
like what if what i say about my blorbo isn't right. what if i missed the point. what if i took the symbolism a little too literally or didn't even catch it at all. i'd lose my shit

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility#but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion#that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone#i am an environmental educator#so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering#that people are going through#without doing my research and providing real ways to help#this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning#to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering#unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this#and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this#and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity#(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself#for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion#i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out#rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free#is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i#which is more than their CEOs can say

god people on twitter are so fucking dumb someone said (correctly) that it sucks that oppenheimer yet again focuses on the emotional experience of yet another tortured white man genius and completely glosses over the people actually impacted or killed by the atrocity of the bomb and the entire process of its creation (literally correct!!!!)
and everyone has been spending the next several days gleefully dunking on them like "oh so you're mad the oppenheimer film was about oppenheimer? what did you expect?" "you want christopher nolan to make a film centering japanese voices? 🙄 lmao sure that would have gone well" "there is already a huge body of work in japanese cinema made by japanese filmmakers about their experience of the bomb, arguably all japanese cinema since that time had been affected by it, just say you're personally uneducated and go"
and i'm just like. you are all SO dumb and being purposefully obtuse to dunk on this person and make them sound unreasonable when the actual point is like. we (society) should stop giving american white man cinematic auteur filmmakers massive budgets to make tortured white man biopics centering the emotional experience of what was it like for this tortured white man when he was committing atrocities!!!!!! the point is we've made enough of these films! hollywood has been making them forever!!! make something else!!
also everyone conveniently focused on the fact that the original tweet mentioned japanese people bc there is a wealth of japanese cinema about the bomb but they conveniently ignored the other group the original tweet mentioned which was native & hispanic americans who were massively impacted by nuclear tests done in secrecy in new mexico which is something a lot of usamericans aren't even aware happened let alone something that hollywood is clamoring to make blockbuster films about. and like… yes oppenheimer is tortured on the day of the trinity test because of the existential horror of the bomb and i'm sure this is featured in the film, but that had nothing to do with the fact that the first bomb they dropped was on usamerican soil or with the real physical horrors that he actually inflicted on the usamericans downwind of the test site.
(and the tweet ALSO mentioned interned japanese americans which there ALSO is a dearth of stories about in usamerican media because there is no tortured white man at the center of it, it is just a horrific inhuman thing that the american government did to its own citizens, and the scotus decision that enshrined it in usamerican jurisprudence remains (well, functionally) on the books to this day with a direct straight line drawn to trump v hawaii in 2018. like. no one's making blockbuster films about this in america despite this being a USAMERICAN story, not one that japanese cinema in japan should tackle, because it is not interesting to hollywood without a famous recognizable figure to place at the center of it. the stain of it is too fucking great and addressing any of this properly would be too "anti-american" so no one is going to touch it. that film COULD NOT and would not get made by any big studios.)
it's so wild that the only way people can conceive of criticism of oppenheimer (or honestly any film) is within the film's own existing framework, i.e. a massive blockbuster about oppenheimer directed by christopher nolan on a $100M budget with an insane marketing push ("you want christopher nolan to shoehorn in japanese voices into that??? wtf??? idiot"), rather than as a critique of what kinds of movies get funded and made in hollywood, and which filmmakers get to make films in the american film industry.

earlier today andrew was like, "hey, check this out" and turned their phone around to show me an image of a pair of dreamworks eyebrow sunglasses before swiping to show me another image of the sunglasses and bask in my horror
but the pictures were on tumblr and they accidentally swiped the wrong direction in the image viewer
so from my perspective what happened was that andrew was like, "hey, check this out" and turned their phone around to show me an image of a pair of dreamworks eyebrow sunglasses before swiping dramatically to reveal an unrelated image of stuart little, watching me expectantly for a reaction that never came

a lot of the popular "queerbait" ships are just "these two characters are friends / they stood close together once" but every once in a while i'll stumble into an unfamiliar ship tag and see shit like "in episode 169 Scrungko gives Blorbis multiple prostate orgasms with an anal vibrator while pretending to date him" and like. idk what the hell is going on there. but if it's not queerbait then they just invented something even more insane. maybe y'all are right sometimes.
