#john's notes

When I see the deactivation date (usually 2026 or late 2025), I feel so sad because we're increasingly losing this type of content. Whatever their reason for this decision, I hope it's not related to the large anti-ship and, specifically, the anti-batcest movement of recent years.

That's why I think it's even more important to archive and preserve these works of art now. We also need more artists/writers who are sympathetic to the ship and let ship idea to speak up against fandom censorship, and to not be afraid to make ship art/stories of controversial pairings.

Anyway, just getting that off my chest.

There are over 11k pieces of fanart archived there, so it's a much easier way to browse everything in one place without having to scroll endlessly through my blog page. It makes it simple to find older favourites, and rare artwork you may have missed over the years 😊

Keep in mind that this method only works if the original post is still available on the blog where it was first published as it won't work if the post has been deleted by the op or if it comes from a deactivated blog.

At first, it may seem like you can't interact with the post at all, and it will appear like this:

However, you can still reblog your own post and save it as a draft. Once it's in your drafts, you'll be able to check whether the post comes from an account that still exists.

If the original post is still available on the originating blog, you'll be reblogging it again directly from the op's account. In that case, the new reblog will appear like this on your blog:

Now you can choose to submit an appeal and a human will review whether it was wrongly flagged or not:

In the description, you'll state how many images are in the post and describe what's in each one, like this:

“The post contains one drawing in which two fictional male characters are kissing, there is no nudity or explicit content in the artwork.”

And that's it! In a few minutes, your appeal will be reviewed and accepted!

Also, sometimes the best thing we can do for a lovely older piece of art is admire it from a distance for preservation purposes. Just some tips from your local batcest archivist!
