For OFMD Tumblr friends who want a S3 and are scared of Twitter
First, no judgment from me. I very much get it. I resisted Twitter for a long time, and even though I'm now a bit more comfortable on it, it's still not my Fandom Home. There are a TON of valid reasons not to be on Twitter, but if you REALLY want to keep OFMD visible right now and help its chances of returning for a third season, Twitter is the best place to do it. Like it or not, Twitter is still the best social media platform for raising awareness and for instant news updates.
Tumblr posts don't make headlines. Topics that have been trending on Twitter do. And if we want this show to come back, we need to make OFMD impossible to ignore.
By now you've probably seen just how close we came to a S3, and if you're like me, you are RAGING and donning your battle jacket. But I get it can be intimidating to get on Twitter for the first time, so I thought I'd address some common anxieties I see. I'll put below a cut because this got a bit long, but I promise it's a quick read.
I don't know what to say! Where do I even start?
That's okay! You don't have to create your own tweets (although it's great if you do). Amplifying other people's posts is also important. Go ahead and like/retweet/reply to other people's posts. This may also help you get an idea of what you may like to say in your own tweets.
Hashtags...yes?
Yes! Although don't use too many or you may get flagged as a bot. The biggest one that seems to be emerging is #SaveOFMD. Other popular ones are #RenewAsACrew, #RenewOurFlagMeansDeath, and of course, #OFMD and #OurFlagMeansDeath.
Should I just be tagging all the streaming services?
Per @renewasacrew, no. It's counterproductive. You'll want to tag one streamer at a time and be specific. Below is an example of a tweet I made the other day -- use specific reasons why that that particular streamer may benefit from picking up OFMD.
I'm scared. People are mean.
Yeah, people are mean. But I will say the vibes over at OFMD Twitter are currently the best I've ever seen them. People seem to have united for the greater good and are being overwhelmingly positive and just trying to do whatever we can to save the show. (That said, again, I already had a pretty curated feed, and was very liberal with blocking users/terms I didn't want to see, but I've been able to spend so much more time in the For You tab than I ever have without being jump scared by something.)
But I don't know anyone there! Wouldn't I just be shouting into the void?
Not if you use the hashtags! Fans are being really good about following those and engaging with the tweets. Plus, [Stede voice], I'm your friend. I'm xoxoemynn over there as well, I'll follow you back and engage with any of your posts that I see. Plus, what's been REALLY lovely to see is that SO many lurkers have come out of lurkerdom to support the efforts, and they are being welcomed with open arms, so you will not be alone. Again, I am telling you, vibes? Best I've ever seen them.
I can't get sucked into another social media platform, I don't have the time.
The beauty here is you don't need to spend a lot of time. I've been on Twitter more in the past week than I have in the entire year I've had an account, and I'm still only on for maybe an hour total the entire day? I open the app, I check a couple accounts, I engage with a handful of posts, and I close the app. It takes all of five minutes. It's an extremely small lift that can have a very big impact.
My bet is on Zaslav expecting us to be upset, and that there may be a day or two of outrage, but then we'd move on. I'm sure right now he's trying to convince everyone that this is a fluke, and that it'll blow over soon. Don't let him win. Keep OFMD in the news. Be loud (but polite) and make Max and other streamers take note of what a passionate, loyal fan base this show has. Make their stocks continue to drop. Make it clear this is NOT just a fluke, it is NOT business as usual. It's a BIG fuck up with lasting consequences.
Twitter, for all its sins, is the best place to do this.
Now let's get our damned show back.

How exactly does mom!reader get the changing? Did Keegan just drop the kid on the doorstep stork style, or was it a magic pregnancy (consensual and agreed apoun, of course). I feel like it would be funny if there was a newborn dropped on her doorstep, and she was like, "Oh shit like now? I get the kid right now?" Very much unprepared, rushing to get everything together. Calling into work like I need parental leave right now and her boss is like, "You have a kid? Since when?" Course, it would be funny if there was a planned scheduled time on the child delivery, like mail. Viewing to see when your package has arrived. Also, does the kid resemble mom more than dad?
I have... two thoughts on this.
The first: Mom!reader finds Keegan and asks for a baby, Keegan has plenty of ways to give out changelings but for you? Darling he's doing this the old fashioned way. You're not opposed, you came for a child, and he's a handsome monster. So you get a (fucking fantastic) night with him and he sends you on your way. BUT He warns you this is a fae child and you have to be prepared to take care of them. It'll be difficult but he knows you're up for it, or you wouldn't have sought him out. This is also his child, and one day he'll return to collect them, that's the deal.
And the second: Mom!reader asked Keegan for a baby and he went "done." Explained that he'd want something in return for collection at a later date, and then sent reader on their way. He gave them time to get set up. A week to make sure the child will be well taken care of, and on the eighth day a little wailing cry echoed out of the nursery reader had set up. Walked in and found their baby in the crib, wrapped nice and tight, safe and warm, just like Keegan said.
I do think parental leave is really weird in this auniverse. Lots of "I didn't know I was pregnant" situations that people just sort of wave off. Surprise babies are common enough that people don't ask questions. It's a family matter and legally they can't ask about it. These days the fae give a little warning, but it's still always last minute.

tbh i have yet to see an antisemitic post bending into the Palestinian liberation.. that isn't called out for its antisemitism. idk, maybe it's because i follow and interact with the right people, who treat marginalization with seriousness.
if you sit down to type up a post about something that is very clearly antisemitic such as "pls don't reblog posts that say isr*el is supported bc it's Jewish and Jews control this this and that" - which i cannot imagine anyone who ISN'T antisemitic to interact with - and then turn around and reblog a post that puts free Palestine movement in a thinly veiled antagonistic spotlight... the only thing i infer of you is that you're just not hanging with the right people.
you're NEVER responsible for the antisemitism that blends into movements that are meant to be progressive.
but you're responsible for who you make community with, if you hang out with people who let zionists run freely in their spaces, then that was your choice. and you can opt out and make better connections.
which leads to the same argument on why you should follow Palestinian users and treat them with the same seriousness, compassion and sympathy YOU deserve as a Jewish person.

Not dog related but have you been to Kuopio? My wife and I are planning to move there in a few years and I’m just curious what your thoughts might be as someone who actually lives in Finland. Also do you enjoy a cold dip after sauna or is that not really your thing?
I used to live in Kuopio! Spent my early childhood there. I still visit several times a year, it's one of those home-away-from-home places for me.
I don't enjoy cold, I rarely swim and I barely ever go to sauna (it always makes me feel sort of light-headed), so not my thing really :'> But if you think you might enjoy, like, the temperature shock and the adrenaline rush go for it.
