… I Don’t Even Need Context I Just Need To Know If My Post Was Right… How Nice Was It? 😌

#teeny tiny taylor is on our minds and dashes today isnt she

all those other girls, well, they’re beautiful; but would they write a song for you?

Happy New Year, Swifties in my phone <3

Rip ladybird you would've loved California by Chappell Roan

literally… the normals will never understand how her music and voice hugs my brain

There's a special kind of serotonin boost that I get from listening to Taylor's music that I can't really explain well to someone who's not a swiftie.

@frootielooties bestie i'm afraid to ask but were you the cow in the hurricane or was a cow of yours whisked away???

People who dry swallow tablets should dry swallow some burning hot coals

the respect i have for someone who hears about trump getting re-elected and going "LETS SAVE THE FANFIC"... is immense.

but i totally agree... LETS SAVE THE FANFIC

attn folks interested in preserving fanfiction + digital fan history

alright so uh... the us is going through some shit right now.

as someone who's currently pursing graduate education with a substantial focus in fan studies, i am especially concerned about preserving the amount of works fans have created over the last however many years we've been fucking around on the internet. in particular, i'm really worried about ao3 and (even though i look at it like a cousin i'm not fond of) wattpad. these sites have immense cultural value and history that is worth preserving, and i'm not gonna lie: i'm a little worried about their standing come january.

so this is where we as a collective come in. i don't know how many followers i have on this silly hellsite, but i'm going to ask folks this: please, please, please— start archiving the fanfics and fanart and fan-everything of the fandoms you're in, you care about, or you have been in. put it on an external harddrive. make back ups. you'll want it if things go south, and scholars like me will want it so we can preserve fan history.

if you're interested in doing this, rb or message me or leave a comment or something and i'd love to work together on making a massive, cloud and external, database of fandoms we all care about. we have time to do this, and other folks have done and are doing this, but we need to do it.

to spread this around some, i've tagged this with fandoms i'm most active with here, but share wild and far. even if you don't want to do this with me, do it with your friends. please <3

tldr: i, and many other fan studies folks/fans writ large, are worried about what happens to fanfiction come january and trump's presidency. if you also care about this, let's work together to start putting together a database of fics we care about.

p.s. and if you do it i'll even give you a little shoutout in the acknowledgements of my master's thesis if you want idk (is this anything????)

leia organa truly has one of the best bait-and-switch character introductions of all time because when you meet her she's this brave, stoic picture of elegance and justice and always knows just what to say to vader and tarkin and is clad in white like an angel and is this perfect two-dimensional archetype of pureness of heart. and then approximately half an hour later into the film she meets luke and han and she IMMEDIATELY shows her true colors as a sarcastic, bitchy control freak with a massive impulsive streak and a deep mine of hyperspecific insults. 10/10 character design i'm obsessed with her
