I like to imagine that all the "Eridian [...] committee" comics happen right after each other and grace just has three ridiculously large piles of cards and each time he gets a new one, it's then sorted into "vaguely threatening", "actual compliments" and "relentlessly horny"

honey is the only food product that never spoils. there are pots of honey that are over five thousand years old and still completely edible
i also want to point out we know it tastes the same even after thousands of years b/c archaeologists who discovered two thousand year old honey tasted it. presumably right after they looked at each other and went “what the hell here goes nothing”
I’m pretty sure they also identify human remains by taste. Archaeologists are straight up freaks.
No, no no… you identify bone from rock or other substances by touching it to your tongue. If it sticks, it’s bone. The taste itself has nothing to do with it. And most archaeologists won’t lick human bones if they know they’re human.
…and I realize that doesn’t actually do much to prove archaeologists aren’t freaks.
mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone
I’m sitting with a bunch of archaeologists and we just laughed so hard we CRIED we’re getting tshirts with this on them
I will never ever get tired of seeing bredlik poems. It is really one of the seminal art forms of the century. I am not being sarcastic.
If I ever don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead and archaeologists are licking my bones.

Old iconic tumblr posts gather gimmick blog comments the way DNA mutations accumulate over time
This is why I love tumblr

There’s a liquor store near my house that seems to be run exclusively by frat boys. They lovingly curate these bags, which I browsed today while “Oops I Did It Again” played through the store speakers. This is art to me, there is beauty everywhere for those with eyes to see it
The update everyone has been waiting for….
everytime i see this it makes me want to buy from them exclusively
The rest of the thread is here.
tl;dr: Don’t monetize AO3, kids. You won’t like what happens next.
read this thread. this is by far the most concise explanation of a lot of different issues that i’ve seen in fandom spaces in a while. cosigning both the linked thread and the thread about aus/uk/can law that’s linked in-thread.
AHDHXHEBSG TWITTER WRITERS DID WHAT NOW???? AND PEOPLE PAID THEM????
If someone has never taken a class that includes copyright law, they may not know this stuff, so I don’t necessarily blame random people for not knowing what copyright is, but like… maybe just maybe it’s something that should be taught????
Just another reminder, because this always drives me crazy, but even if monetizing your fic was 100% unambiguously legal and protected, AO3 would still not let you do it because AO3 was founded and is supported by people like me who want a fandom community that is completely divested from making money off of fic.
Yes, this. Lots of fanworks on AO3 are unambiguously legal. Fics based on Shakespeare plays and fairy tales and Greek mythology and The Great Gatsby and your original character from your D&D game are not violations of copyright, because no copyright applies to those things.
AO3 still doesn’t let you monetize those things on the site, because we don’t want the site to be commercial! Because that’s not what it’s for!
It’s not there for you (generic you) to make money off the efforts of the people who build and maintain the site for free! We aren’t getting paid for the work we do to give you a nice site to use, just like you aren’t getting paid for the work you do to create whatever art you share there. Because fandom is supposed to be a community where we share with each other, and therefore we all benefit.
The deal is, we give you a free, stable, safe platform to host your works. In exchange, you get a site that isn’t covered in ads and tip jars and links to gofundme and “read the next chapter at my patreon”. You get one goddamn place on the internet that isn’t trying to make money off you. And we will defend that space and keep it non-commercial.
If you want to make money off your fics, you can instead post them somewhere like royal Road. “Oh, but Royal Road’s culture is so much more negative and stressful and lacks the supportive norms of AO3!” Yeah, because people are trying to make money there. Half the userbase is treating it as a storefront and hustling is the natural social consequence of that. AO3’s culture can only exist because it’s not commercial.
Also, if that’s not enough to convince you:
When you choose to monetize your fic, you’re giving a foothold to LLM AI.
Because all those AI copyright infringement lawsuits? What they hinge on is that AI costs money. So you can, for example, write a Steven Universe fic, and that’s fine. But someone feeding the entire script of Steven Universe into an LLM? That’s infringement. Because they’re now making money off of it.
When enough people say “that should be legal actually,” it’s not big companies who suffer. It’s small ones. And you are providing a toehold for something you do not want to unleash.
Are there exceptions to this? Yes. The old Star Trek novels are probably the most obvious, and if @dduane would like to, I cordially invite her to this post to talk about the weird intersection of fanfiction, Star Trek novels, and Gene Roddenberry (I know extremely broad strokes, but it’s not my fandom). But that market is extremely narrow, and it involves a lot of permissions and lawyers and creative leashes. It may not even really be a thing anymore.
And finally: if you’re thinking “but, but, zines! People used to charge for zines!” Yes and no. First of all, back in those days our legal protections were even thinner. But second of all–they weren’t selling the content. They were selling the paper, staples, ink, postage, and so on. Let’s say a single zine cost me $6.70 per copy to make, and $1.30 to mail. Under that system, I could charge you no more than $8. You’re gonna notice that is exactly what my cost came out to.
Fanfiction is not now, nor has it ever been, about making money. Full stop.
Cut that shit out.
Tbh, this also reeks of “monetize all your hobbies, commit to The Hustle” bullcrap. Stuff doesn’t have to cost money or make money to be worth doing. Fuck capitalism. Let people enjoy things.

the variations of eat shit are what's getting me the most
Rocky dumbing down his speech for Grace only reinforces the idea that Grace is a kid in the other Eridians eyes and multiple conversations are happening at once..
Eridian scientist: why did they send a baby to space?!
Rocky: Grace is not a baby. He’s a fully grown human and you all need to respect that-
At the same time another Eridian: the human is thirty!! Are you COMPLETELY sure he’s not a child? He’s barely coordinated!
Rocky: Grace is very sick!! Of course he’s not coordinated you fucking idiot-
ALSO at the same time: did you not think to teach him how to understand us properly?? Let alone communicate with us.
Rocky: he doesn’t have the vocal cords for most of our sounds!! And we were WORKING on him being able to understand proper speech but he’s delirious?! The fact he’s conscious is a miracle-
Grace who is visible stressed and half covering his ears but also trying to listen: what’s going on?? I can’t hear you guys it’s too loud- Rocky what’s going on?!
Rocky: apology apology other Eridians ask dumb dumb dumb questions, Rocky tell Grace later. Grace sleep now Rocky handle.
Grace just nods with bleary eyes and knocks out almost immediately, and the other Eridians are giving Rocky the equivalent of a raised eyebrow in unison.

I recently realised that I think in comments, i.e. I think something and then spend the next 10 minutes thinking that exactly same thing while workshopping it into a tumblr post that I will then never post or even write. This process spirals whenever a new addition enters until eventually it is an entirely different post.
For instance, this one here started out as a "representation in media matters" over "disney junior was peak entertainment for 16 year olds, actually" to "oh my god, Dora is named that because of exploradora" and finally looping around to "here's how my thought spirals work"

EWC fans! I found an anime that’s right up your alley! It’s called ‘my stepmother and step sisters aren’t wicked’, and every episode is just a collection of EWC like jokes.
“You’re filthy, I can’t bear to be in the same house as such filth… let’s get you a bath! I bet you can’t bear to live like that either!”
“We need to get you a room. Luckily, Theres room in the cellar… we’ll move the books from the study into the cellar and turn the study into your room!”
“I will never let you call me your mother… your mother raised you alone for years! I have not gotten close to earning the same title as her!”
“All your work cleaning this room, and it still smells like dust… we need to air it out! Until then, you can sleep in the guest room!”
“You really never learned to read? I can’t believe we have the same father… I never knew dad could be so cruel and not let his mistresses child go to school! Don’t worry, we’ll teach you!”
And so on, and so on. The most sincere intentions, said in the most ominous and threatening way possible.

There's something special about making new friends and going to show them a random picture in your camera roll and then you find the block of Quackity (because like, objectively attractive man that is very fun to draw) and they go "Oh, Quackity! Yea, he's a cutie" which, like, correct, but you also think "I'm friends with you because of your weird porn opinions so I didn't expect that from you, on the other hand, reflecting back on it, you did have the appropriate reaction to my little Technoblade, so I should've seen it coming, however I just had to explain to you who youngblud is, so I can't really assume anything about your knowledge basis anymore, now can I?"
