Quick thought: if One for All requires DNA to be passed on, why doesn’t All For One require DNA to take and give quirks.

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

sheherlocked-deactivated2022083

If this post persuades even one person to get a free library account and use it, my time on this hellsite will not have been spent in vain

ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog

TOASTYSTATS: GEEKGIRLCON 2017

The above are the first half of the slides I presented at GeekGirlCon (along with some annotations to explain things I only said out loud :) ) – for the second half, read more below the cut. I’ll also be sharing the slides from the other presenters here, too, as they’re posted!

The gender representation work is part of a longer analysis that I will be posting in full soon!

Beneath the cut are also a few additional slides that I would have presented with a bit more time – several of which address things that came up in the question session.

…And the extra slides:

Good moment to remember that AO3 exists to support fandom. And fandom needs to support AO3.

sherlockedcarmilla

Spread the love for AO3❤

firebirdscratches

My takeaway from this is that fanfic is overwhelmingly written by queer women and that makes me so fucking happy. And that last graph makes me so fucking sad, PLEASE COMMENT ON FICS. Even if it’s just “I read this and I liked it.” Please, please, please comment.

mckitterick

by the way:

because AO3 just wrapped up their annual fundraiser, you’re likely to see anti-fanfic (specifically anti-AO3) posts going around. this is your annual reminder that the organization that runs the site is the fan’s greatest ally and makes zero profit

AO3 is completely transparent in their finances - they’re the most important archive of transformative works (fanfic, fanart, etc) in the world, and they’re a nonprofit. here’s their most-current financial info:

https://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/22123

they do annual fundraisers to ensure they can run the servers necessary to keep all the archived work online, and have a legion of volunteers (including lawyers who protect against claims by Disney and other DCMA-happy corporations) who keep everything free of advertising and data-collectors

from Naomi Novik’s acceptance speech when the Organization for Transformative Works (@transformativeworks which runs AO3) won the Hugo Award:

AO3 won the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Related Work! Here’s the speech given by Naomi Novik when the award was accepted: All fanwork, from fan

“All fanwork, from fanfic to vids to fanart to podfic, centers the idea that art happens not in isolation but in community. And that is true of the AO3 itself. We’re up here accepting, but only on behalf of literally thousands of volunteers and millions of users, all of whom have come together and built this thriving home for fandom, a nonprofit and non-commercial community space built entirely by volunteer labor and user donations, on the principle that we needed a place of our own that was not out to exploit its users but to serve them.”

source:

https://transformativeworks.tumblr.com/post/187103795631/ao3-won-the-2019-hugo-award-for-best-related-work

so when you see antis badmouthing AO3 and calling the volunteers who run it greedy or whatever, remember that antis are largely the same TERFs and puritans who have been trying to silence all progressive and LGBTQ voices online

faustandfurious

oh god it's that time of the year again, so here are some quick reminders:

The content allowed on AO3 is legal according to American law. This is a sensible place to draw the line when your explicitly stated aim is to have a fanfiction site where the content is not subjected to random purges for obscure reasons

AO3 is run by a non-profit organisation. Nobody is making any money out of this, and when the donation drive goal is exceeded, excess money will go to running the site in the future and fighting potential legal battles for the right to create fanworks

It's possible to donate to AO3 and various charities etc, stop acting as though every cent donated to AO3 is a cent taken from "people who need it more"

"Fiction affects reality" yes but the fiction that actually has a societal impact is the latest heteronormative, subtly racist, mass marketed drivel from Disney, not that one properly tagged incest PWP fic with 150 hits and 40 kudos on AO3

so much could have been improved in the sequels if kylo ren hadn’t been force sensitive

deathstars

no wait think about it. kylo ren not being force sensitive, but so desperate to be so he’s willing to do anything. he feels cheated out of his grand destiny, his powers that his mother and uncle (and cousin?) have. give me the story on the entitlement towards the force. it would have shown that the force is beyond biological, it always has been. it would have given a better reason for kylo ren to “fall to the dark side”, so desperate for a connection to the force that he plays the part of a dark sider, swinging a cracking red lightsaber around with no finesse or training, killing hoping that it will push him further into a dark side of the force he cannot feel. it would have given a reason for him to hate han; that because han isn’t force sensitive, it’s his fault that kylo isn’t either. kylo’s character would have been stronger because his choices would have been his own, instead of whatever whisper dream manipulations they were in canon. his evil has nothing to do with the force, but an entitled man trying to claim a power he believes is his by birthright.

this would have foiled perfectly with finn, too- one is a child born to the most powerful force sensitives in the galaxy who cannot feel the force. and finn is a child who was taken from his family, forced into soldier-hood, who feels such a deep and powerful connection to himself and the force that he breaks free. kylo ren, seething and entitled trying to claim a destiny and power that just aren’t his, and finn, who has suffered at kylo’s actions and still connected to the powerful light inside of him. the “nobody” hero of the sequels who has the power of the force and the legacy-born villain who doesn’t.

this is so awkward because Pestilence seems to have come back out of retirement this year so now there is FIVE Horsemen and only FOUR Horses

lilkittay

The fifth horse has been LOOSE IN A HOSPITAL for the last 4 years.

Soon to fixed.

aceoftigers

The entire history of the world, religion, politics, and pop culture came together to make this joke possible.

sashayed

ah yes. han solo. han solo, so suave

so cool under pressure

so calm in a crisis

great at handling difficult situations, for example, can get his own gloves off WHILE talking to a cute girl AT the same time no problem thanks for asking

so great at witty comebacks

definitely has slept with MANY a lady because, again, Han Solo is a cool guy, and not a grumpy hermit who, were he a person in the world, would spend all his weekends alone in his apartment with his phone turned off watching Ice Road Truckers

definitely not a weirdo with a shitty haircut who talks to his car

no. mister cool guy. always looks so cool. so cool in a fight

so cool. never panics about everything all the time constantly.

people trust him cause he’s got that cool guy charisma

always knows what he’s doing. han solo. an expert.

in conclusion: han solo, a cool space scoundrel, not a nerd. maybe you’re the nerd around here. hmm. looks like it. check and mate

i couldnt survive in a sitcom

dajo42

so many characters are just dicks for absolutely no reason and i would. simply have to punch them. the way people treat each other in like every single sitcom makes me so angry and i would be on full punch mode all the time and go to comedy jail

teaboot

I need you to know that I would emphatically and without question pay real human dollars to watch a season of ‘Friends’ where you appear to routinely beat the shit out of Ross Geller

dajo42

just so everybody knows i have literally no idea why my blog shows as deactivated in the reblog. my working theory is that half of me is currently in the friends universe beating the shit out of ross geller

degenderates

yall DO realize that when tags on ao3 are like "abusive relationships" "homophobia" "racism" "consent issues/r*pe" they are there to protect you, right? you do realize that those tags being there lets you know that an author RECOGNIZES when something is wrong and is explicitly tagging that because it's a story that discusses those things right? you do realize that the author is not *shudders* condoning those things, right?

thepoppypenner

This at all the people who say, "well they shouldn't be there in the first place!!!!" Wait until I tell you about public libraries.

madenthusiasms

I once had an adorably annoyed little puriteen threatening to hit me because I mentioned libraries. Libraries are totally different! They have adult sections!

Raise your hand if nobody in the library gave a rat’s rump which section you were in. Because nobody at my local did.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Do... libraries... have adult sections? Ours just always had a ‘children’s section’ which was for books specifically aimed at kids (written for low literacy or a young target audience), and then just... the rest of the library. Where anyone could borrow whatever they wanted. There's absolutely no sense that kids aren’t meant to be there. It’s where the comics are. Kids are expected to be there.

You know what place DOES have an adult section? What place will stop you at the door, warn you that there’s mature content ahead, and tell you only to proceed if you’re old enough? AO3.

mistakenot4892

Just throwing out there that the library in question also put Neon Genesis Evangelion and Akira in the children’s section.

arospec-daybook

I wish there were more characters in media who openly state that they don't want to be in a romantic relationship and enjoy being single and it remaining that way till the very end. I'm tired of seeing characters being proven wrong for thinking they didn't want romance and changing their mindset entirely after they finally find 'true love'. Repeating this trope over and over just keeps encouraging allos to invalidate us and tell us that we just 'haven't met the right person yet'. Why do people assume relationships should eventually be desired by everyone and what's so wrong about not pursuing them? People around me constantly keep trying to convince me that I will definitely want a relationship and marriage someday, as if not wanting any of that is the worst thing I could ever do to myself and should not even be an option. This is why I wish there was more representation of this in media, in order for us to feel acknowledged and in order for other people to see that romance does not necessarily have to be everyone's end goal.

do you think bdg’s knowledge has burdened him? the man read the osha guidelines back to front, do you think he ever sees something and is like ‘dang…that’s just not compliant.’
