*THIS WAS SENT TO A FRIEND. NOT ME*

Posts about self-positivity are not the place to vent your self-negativity. If you see a post saying something like “Wow, I feel really good about myself today! I hope you have a good day”, it’s very inappropriate to reply with something like “I wish I could, but I’m miserable and nobody has ever liked me”.

It’s fine to make posts venting your emotions (as long as they’re tagged appropriately!), but adding that to someone else’s post - especially if it’s about them feeling good - not only brings the mood down for everyone involved, but also violates important social boundaries

If you wouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day in public, you shouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day online. This goes for all types of positivity posts.

I know patreon and ko-fi links are banned on AO3 but how will / will the archive be updating at all to accommodate for fandoms like Genshin Impact that allow profiting off of fanficition?

–

Why would it change for Genshin Impact? Jane Austen’s work is out of copyright, and you still can’t post your ko-fi links on your Jane Austen fic.

The issue isn’t that profiting off of fic is illegal. That wasn’t always true when AO3 was founded either.

The issue is that AO3 was built to protect a type of fandom that is a gift economy.

If my friend shows up to my dinner party expecting me to let them turn it into a sales pitch for their multilevel marketing garbage, I will be annoyed. They have violated the social contract. They have taken a space I did the lion’s share of the work to build and attempted to monetize it in a gross way. Let them host their own dinner party if they want to do that!

Similarly, those of us who gave years of unpaid labor to build an archive where our style of fandom—a not-for-profit kind—could be safe are not interested in that space being warped into etsy or a dealers’ room at a convention. If other fans have other styles of fandom, that’s fine: they can build other archives for them.

Personally, I find that the introduction of a profit motive turns fic spaces from a place of peers sharing into a place of Audience vs. Content Creators, and I get enough of that hustle culture on every other site, thank you.

AO3’s popularity is likely partly due to how much it isn’t full of desperate shilling and begging. The fact that there’s no incentive to post chapter 1 and paywall the rest is incentive for readers to trust and like AO3.

The legality of Genshin Impact fic is irrelevant. AO3 bans commercial spam because it wants to.

i just wanted to clarify some things

artists know the risk they are taking when they post their art online. people are inevitably going to take it apart, color edit it, flip it around or otherwise post it uncredited.

saying that an artist shouldn’t post their work if they don’t want it bastardized is probably the stupidest stance on this subject you could take. if all artists followed this line of reasoning, there would be no art on the internet. 

when an artist posts their work, they are trusting you to enjoy it respectfully. and when you betray that trust either knowingly or unknowingly, it’s like saying the artist’s time, skills and thoughts aren’t worth anything.

you are NOT entitled to an artists work just because they decided to trust you enough to share it with you.

an artist is within their right to feel upset that someone has used their work in a way they never intended it to be used. they are within their right to ask for it to stop and not happen again.

just because it’s “bound to happen” doesn’t mean it’s any less deplorable.

Ghosts and ur birth chart Vedic Astrology Part 1

First of all thank you everyone for sending me your birth charts. I'm now able to make this posts because of y'all 🥹

I can't see ghosts but I'm very scared of them as in my dreams the ghosts usually tries to take me away or want to take over my body for which even in my dreams I'm always chanting mantras or names. ( If anyone of you have similar experience I would like to have a chat )🙇‍♀️

💀 A heavily afflicted moon is the most prominent reason of connection with ghost, shadows, etc. it includes all seeing, hearing, talking, etc.

☠️ people having Moon+ Rahu combination can see shadows, etc.

☠️ 12th house is connected to spirituality so planets like saturn, Rahu, Ketu, in this house or aspecting the 12th house too can make a native contact with otherworldly things.

☠️ Sun + Rahu + Ketu + Moon + Saturn and Mars are all the planets which u need to look in your birth chart to know why are you seeing them.

☠️ Mars is blood and is connected to our ancestors that's why Mars is also behind in contacting spirits to u.

☠️ 12th house lord with the ascendant lord, strong connection with 8th house, heavy 12th or 8th house/stellium

☠️ 8th house will make the native suffer alot with the otherworldly things even if you can't see them you're able to feel, sense like Doumeki.

god this tweet……
