I got Brother Walter (he's the time-sick Fraticelli friar who sleeps on my couch) to watch Scooby Doo and he loves it. He says it's "a most fine and worthy Tale" and Shaggy is his favorite because "he is a poltroon, and yet a hero nonetheless."

Now he's working on a thesis about how "this tale of the craven hashish-eater and his miraculous hound" can be read as a Biblical allegory

when usamericans say they're from the midwest they exclusively mean they're from the central-eastern side of their country. yet another lie from their forkéd tongues

the queerest place on the internet 🙃

Hey, everyone please do me a favor! s2b2's tumblr has been flagged as adult for ages, but when the editor sent a polite request to staff for it to be unflagged so it would be searchable, they just... insta-deleted the whole fucking thing. It would be very helpful if everyone could contact support and ask them to reverse this.

The name of the tumblr = shousetsubangbang

Thanks, y'all! The main site is fine, and there's a lot of excellent fare there: https://www.shousetsubangbang.com/

Thank you all so much! All this support is incredibly heartening.

For a bit of timeline:

It is now 11:00 on Sunday morning, and I have received no further communication from Tumblr. They never even told me the account was terminated in the first place; I just reloaded the page and had it redirect me to https://www.tumblr.com/terminated.

I have been told by someone who contacted Support on our behalf that they received a response last night saying Support sees our ticket in the queue and we will hear back from them, though it may take a while. If you have also received this response in response to your contacting Support, you have had more relevant contact from Tumblr about this issue than we have.

And, you know, I get it -- we're an icky queer smut zine that sometimes posts naughty words and the occasional drawn picture of a boob or a butt, hardly making us Tumblr's favorite account. But whatever, we're tiny -- if a post we make gets over 50 notes, that's a big deal for us! And yeah, we've got a bunch of posts held in the "flagged" quarantine that I never bothered to delete, because why? If erasing all those (which couldn't be seen anyway) had really been so important to getting the blog unflagged as NSFW, I could have done that. Instead, somebody on the back end of Tumblr just nuked the whole thing from orbit.

What I'm kicking myself over is how, if I hadn't said anything, nobody would ever have done anything. And sure, we would never have appeared in any tags or searches, and nobody could ever have Blazed our posts, but whatever, we couldn't do that anyway! It would have sucked, but we still would have had an account.

Anyway, thanks again, everybody. SSBB is something I've loved and loved to make for nearly two decades now (yikes!), and it always makes me good to hear that it means something to other people too.

It is now Tuesday morning and I haven't heard a peep from Tumblr. Not a single email or attempt to reach out. I'm not sure what next steps are, or if I even have any left to take.

However! There are still some other avenues you can use to follow Shousetsu Bang*Bang so you don't miss an issue:

You can always check our main website, where we post our bimonthly issue releases. If you're looking to catch up, you can browse all 136 (and counting!) of our back issues, or you can download many of them as ebooks at Smashwords and Itch.io.

Interested in participating? You can always find our list of Current and Previous Signups on our main index. Right now we're open to authors and artists who want to contribute to our June issue, the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Check out our Editorial Calendar to see what else is coming this year, and add our Google calendar to yours so you get deadline reminders.

We're here, we're queer, and we try so damn hard to make the free queer smut we want to see in the world. Thanks for the support.

I tried to do theo like mid-babysitting duty where the princesses have just Destroyed him with candy and arrows and comebacks.

And Lapin is just having a nice time in the church, no real reference at all to any specific event, or specific day or moment, that I can think of-

ali describing austin’s special plot-relevant NPCs as “his pets” is so funny. austin goes to the shelter and smug bisexual men stare at him sadly from the kennels. every season he picks one and trains him to make speeches about the Material Conditions.
