As we are moving towards a period of more decentralized fandom, if you want to support the artists who are going to be hard-hit by this loss of platform/audience, here’s what you can do to help to help the art-side of fandom stay motivated enough to produce content:

Erotic text is still currently allowed under tumblr’s new policy, but it might not be later, so keep these things in mind for fic authors too. 

And just in general, it’s not just content creators that need support and security. Look around at the friends you’ve made here. Think about how you’ll keep in touch with them. Think about how you might reminisce and be sad if the “next tumblr” comes along and they felt too lost to have stayed in fandom long enough to meet you there. Be kind; show love. Everyone’s a little scared and sad now - creators, rebloggers, and lurkers. We’re all looking forward at December 17th with uncertainty and indecision, and that’s okay. 

We’re not scared because we loved the blue background or the activity page design, we’re scared because of the people, friends, heroes, admirers, peers, validation, love, and happiness that we feel slipping away. And so long as we hold onto the bonds that matter most to us, this will all pass a lot less painfully than we fear. 

If you’ve been meaning to get in touch with someone, but have been putting it off or feeling shy, now’s probably the time. If you wanted to make friends, note down someone’s accounts, form a discord or mailing-list with your buddies, now’s the time.

“Fandom’s not a place, it’s a people.”  —Thor, probably.

Man those were the days…

Reblog if

You are still going to be here after the change. If your characters and relationships you’ve made on this shit storm of a site, is too important to abandon.

I’ll try to stick around, unless Tumblr decides to throw me into the trash

As a reader, as a writer, and as a fan I can’t think of a single website that has given me more happiness than Archive of Our Own. Thank you so much to everyone who works so hard to make it such a wonderful place. 

Today is realy good day to reblog this.

It really sucks being a Jewish person in fandom spaces because even with things I like and enjoy there’s virulent antisemitism. Sometimes it’s huge and big and in your face and sometimes it’s something subtle, that people don’t even realize is antisemitic but causes actual harm.

And I wish people would actually listen when we talk about this stuff. A lot of goyim think they’re listening, but they’ll still do shit like make content for a blatantly antisemitic source, or make content of Jewish characters celebrating Christian holidays.

Sometimes it’s something as simple as refusing to accept that a character or race is an antisemitic caricature.

It fucking sucks, and you can reblog all the posts about supporting and protecting Jewish people all you want, but until you start calling that shit out, you can’t say you support us.

Goyim can and should reblog this.
