YOU KNOW MY SWAG, NOT MY STORY 😔💯🙌

Greetings, Onceler fandom! Tis I, MJ, just a little guy who wants your help on a big project I'm planning!

Here's the rundown: I want to do a deep-dive video on the Lorax, from its origins to its adaptations, to the cultural phenomenon that it has become, including a HUGE dedicated section to the fandom and its history! And I need your help with it! Keep reading if this interests you :D Rough outline of topics that I'm plannning on addressing:

THE CONTENT:

The Original 1971 Book

The 1972 Short

The 2012 Illumination Movie (And what went WRONG, the cut content, analysis)

The 2015 Musical

THE IMPACT:

The Onceler Fandom's Beginnings and Early Years (2012)

Shipping (Oncest, Normaler, the like)

Onceler OCs and aus! (Possibly an OC feature from those in the fandom!)

The Lorax in Meme Culture

The Resurgances of the Fandom (2015, 2021, 2023 Tiktok Boom)

Where's the fandom at now?

It's a huge project and that's why I want you all to help me with it! What do I want your help with? At the moment this is my list!

Research and Fact Checking on the "Content" Section, especially on lesser known topics like the musical or the cut content! (Pspspsps calling the five of you who actually know what the musical is)

RESEARCH AND FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES OF THE ONCELER FANDOM'S EARLY DAYS!! I joined this place in 2023 so I don't know much about the early days of the fandom, and I want to know SO much more than I do! I want to know the scope, everything from the in-jokes to the aus to the deoncelerization. If you've been in this fandom since 2012 I would LOVE to hear from you!

Last but not least, I want the end of this video to be a love letter to this community, sharing firsthand experiences of what the Onceler as a character and the fandom means to you! I want to conduct interviews with people over discord (which is going to be a lot less fancy than it sounds so dw, it's not going to be an interrogation LMAO)

Specifics are subject to change but one thing will stay, I want to end the video to be made out of raw Love and Appreciation for this fandom, showcasing the side of this little corner of the internet that people who brush it off as mindless cringe don't see. All I've seen from this community is love and support and I want to be the video essayist who shows it for what it is!

At the moment I don't really have much of a plan (I'm not a very good planner lol), but if enough interets garners I know it'll help me streamline my motivation and come up with a game plan!

Feel free to leave me suggestions for where to go from here, maybe give out my discord? Make a Discord Server? Maybe there's something I can do solely on tumblr? I don't know! I don't know at all how Tumblr works! Help Me! Am just a little guy!

COMMISSIONS OPEN!

Hi everyone! i really, really need your help.

The situation at my house has come to an unbearable point, our mental and physical health is at risk, my sister and i have endured violence from my mom for way too long and now we are looking to finally leave the house for good. With the help of a friend we are looking for an aparment to move to, hopefully, within this month.

Sadly, the fact that we are in a foreign country makes matters more difficult, we even have been denied renting a place for the sole fact of being Chilean. My mom has managed to isolate us and made nearly impossible to have any source of income. While my sister and i try to get settled in a new place i need to make as much money as possible, that's why i ask you guys to please help me in any way you can, either by considering to buy a commission from me or a print or by donating on my ko-fi, sharing this post will also be greatly appreciated.

Any help counts in these times, and if you have read until here, thank you very much.

I will keep you guys updated!

It's been a while, over a year I think, since I posted about my Onceler Archive so I figured I'd make one again. The whole thing is a collection of blogs (both askblogs and not), Aus, major events, ships, and other things from the Onceler fandom which I've backed up on the wayback machine and organized on tumblr.

I'd like to get back to updating it regularly and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for what to add! I'd especial appreciate if you sent new blogs or wanted to talk about things you think should be added to the event page. Of course though any category you have a suggestion for would be greatly appreciated (also if you have a suggestion for a new category that would be neat.)
