in another universe, i'm not so stuck up on the past. i would know to enjoy the present moment and not long for the one that ended a long time ago.
It's been 10 years since Merlin ended... and that finale still makes me cry everytime.
i feel like the boeing whistleblower case should radicalize more people. a major airline company is producing planes with less and less regard for safety and it's starting to get noticeable. man takes them to court, which would reduce profit at the cost of public safety. he fucking dies the night that boeings legal team asks him to stay an extra day. if nothing happens about this, i hope it gets through to people that america would literally kill you for a few extra cents
this is so fucking insidious

Sorry if it's a morbid question but I'm at that age when death is coming closer each day, and I'm wondering what to do with my fics on AO3 and tumblr should I die one day. Of course I can put them in a will or get someone's help. But me writing fanfics is like a secret identity that none of my family or friends know. They're not into it and I don't think they'll value them either. They'll probably trash them but I'll love for anyone to adopt them if they like to. So any ideas or suggestions?
Not morbid at all! Planning for the future isn’t depressing, it’s planning. Taking care of something that’s on your mind will only make you feel better about things, anyway :)
As for the answer to your question, AO3 has exactly what you’re looking for: Fannish Next of Kin. This is the person that you decide you want to have take care of your works after you die. They’re a fandom friend you trust, but you don’t have to know them in person. You don’t even need to know their real name. You just have to trust that they’ll follow your wishes after you’re gone.
In the event of your death, the Archive will transfer your account into that person’s control and they can manage it on your behalf.
For more information, read that link above. Just one more way that AO3 looks out for the “Our Own” part of the Archive :D.
reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a fucking break
she/her. a collection of cool stuff, pretty places, advocacy, and sometimes fandom posts 🫒
