Tom Hiddleston, books, Marvel, cute animals, food, Pokémon, Sailor Moon, history, current events(politics, what's going on in the world, that kind of stuff), among other things…
As of today, my adult side blogs (xmistressxcobrasxfantasiesx , art-of-hiddles-afterdark, and coals-little-kitten) have been deleted … still kinda sucks.
But hey, Tumblr’s now safer for the WhItE SuPrEmACiSts, NaZis, NaTiOnALiStS, cHiLdReN, right guys? :):):):)
I’m not gonna be able to take as many pictures this month, but I’m trying my hand at editing.
SO! If anyone wants me to edit them with their favorite Pokémon or have a nice picture that you think a Pokémon will make better or edit a Pokémon into a better background or whatnots. Send me a message! (Preferably the Pokémon that are released in pogo)
I might start a patreon or something if I get enough requests but as of right now I just want/need something to do over the holiday breaks!
Like. I’m a firm believer that porn online shouldn’t be within kids reach (those “are you 18” checkboxes for life) but. Like. Ok first of all, just ban cp? It’s not hard? Cp is what got you into this mess just ban it. Second of all, you could increase the age of sign-up from 13 to 18. Third of all, you could do what deviantart does and just. Require birthdays at sign-up. If your blog is flagged as nsfw, you can’t interact with minors. You want to follow an nsfw blog? Prove you’re an adult. You’re an adult but don’t want to see nsfw content? Safe search (that actually works).
It’s not hard to make a functioning website, but staff doesn’t seem to want to do that.

2009 – GeoCities shuts down, taking old fannish websites
2010 – FFN forums deleted
2011 – Delicious destroyed by Yahoo’s incompetence
2012 – major FFN crackdown on porn
2014 – Quizilla shuts down
2015 – Journalfen’s servers become fully robust, deleting Fandom Wank
Didn’t quizilla have purges before finally shutting down? And I know basically every vidding home hot destroyed, repeatedly taking out the entire history of vidding online.
… they deleted Fandom Wank???
Well, not specifically. Journalfen failed completely and has never come back. FW was on Journalfen, so while you can see some entries on the Wayback machine, I think (?), the long comment threads aren’t archived.
2007 – Youtube starts using its “content ID” system to identify (and block) works that include copyrighted material in their database.
2009 – Greatestjournal shuts down, taking down fandom’s biggest collection of blog-style RPGs
2012 – Megaupload shut down by FBI; some (many?) fanvid archives lost
I thought there was also some kind of purge at Deviantart, but I don’t recall the details.
I’d like to remind folks that there was literally wank last month about why do we need the OTW.
Well, this would be why: we sincerely believed in the internet values of a decade or two ago, which involved owning our own servers if we wanted to see our projects remain stable, in the long term, online.
Worth mentioning: Yahoo purchased GeoCities, and was behind the decision to shut all those sites down.
Yahoo’s incompetence destroyed Delicious.
Yahoo owns Tumblr.

People just… completely forget. I was there for all of the bans on fanfiction.net. You don’t know panic until you go to log in one morning and find out a bunch of your works have been deleted, gone forever, because some asshole arbitrarily decided that they wanted to ban something.
AO3 IS IMPORTANT. IT MATTERS.
2016 -y!gallery an archive of m/m art and stories, original and fanfiction was completely destroyed and all works were lost
Y!gallery itself was originally built in response to Sheezy art banning adult themes in 2005
Deviant Art in my experience says it doesn’t allow porn but will allow erotic art of women to reach the front page, straight male gaze gets a pass. Art focused on men is more likely to get deleted.
A lot of things destroyed by anti-porn rules are really anti-porn not made by and for straight men. It’s women’s and queer folks work that is demonized.
^^^^^ i actually tested this when i was on DA. I drew a bunch of s*xually e*plicit vag*nas and d*cks and the d*cks were removed within 24 hours. the vag*nas were never reported.
these bans are attacks on women and queer/LGBTQ people. the straight male gaze is apparently the only legitimate n sfw view
2010 ish (?) – deviantART purges adult fanfiction (I only very vaguely remember this one, because I’ve never been a dA user and it happened during my fannish hiatus, but there is some incomplete info on Fanlore. If you remember more about what happened, please help edit that page!)
Fandom purges are almost never just about one thing. Fannish content both relies on fair use exemption and is frequently sexually explicit, so it gets attacked on both copyright/legal grounds (thank you, OTW Legal Team, for protecting us!) and TOS/hoster rules about porn/specific fictional content (thank you, AO3, for being an open archive!). On top of that, there is a nontrivial history of fannish content being lumped in with content that criticizes authoritarian governments, and targeted by sweeps by those governments and their censorship agencies when they purchase or put pressure on the commercial entities that own the servers (thank you, OTW, for being a nonprofit and owning and defending our servers!).
If you care about fannish content, you have to fight for fanfic on all three fronts. And if we hop off of HTTP and onto one of the decentralized protocols like dat et cetera, like people are starting to talk about in response to Article 13 and the Tumblr purges, we will inevitably be targeted along with a) people pirating media, b) porn distributors, and c) anti-government protestors, because those groups are also going use those protocols, too. I’m not saying, don’t think about migrating. I’m saying: there is a systemic problem within fandom, regarding the fact that we routinely get hit on three fronts: legal rights to the material we transform, sexual content, and governmental disapproval. Protecting fandom means fighting for fandom on all three fronts and putting thought and effort into how to make an archive robust against all three prongs of the attack.
This is what’s made AO3/the OTW so special: we have lawyers protecting our right to make what we make, we have a TOS that protects our right to make things that are sexually explicit, and because the OTW is a nonprofit, it’s more robust to the pressure that can be brought to bear upon commercial entities by both corporate and governmental powers (though, I note, especially when it comes to governments, it’s not immune, and we have to keep actively protecting it, and we have to protect other fans). If you are in fandom but you think that copyright upload filters are fine, because, well, you don’t want to put fanvids on YouTube, you are part of the problem. Your community is under attack. The powers that be have always come for us by attacking us in pieces, and we have always only ever successfully fought back by banding together.
Never forget this. There are certain kinds of content people don’t want you to make, and everyone expects that to be “graphic rape” or some thing that is at least arguably Not Great
but more often than not it ends up just “gay.”
Censors. Are. Lazy.
No matter what you don’t like or what you’d rather not see, never forget that censors are lazy.
Let me say I’m not going anywhere until they delete my ass, but this is killing me. I was overwhelmed when I scrolled through my blog. The things that were marked as indecent, most of which weren’t (even though that picture of a close up of Hiddles face had me like ‘same, tumblr, same.’) I don’t know that I’ll have the time to even attempt to get through all the shit I have posted (reblogged) on this blog and I think most important to me would be to back up my writing. I’m going to try to get everything over to ao3 over the next few nights (My name is Nuggsmum there too) I might try to upload to wordpad or whatever it was that I saw someone talking about. I’m on @jennphoenix Tomblr …..
I’m so distraught over this. I felt like I was someone in this community. That’s a huge thing for someone who goes through their day feeling like they don’t exist, or that people wouldn’t notice if they were gone.
I could come here and be free. I could be me. The me I want to be.
I’ve made so many amazing friends on here. Incredible, beautiful souls that I be er would have gotten the chance to know otherwise.
I love my bitches so much. So so much. All of you. I feel like someone died.
I think of the villages that have been evacuated and raized to the ground to make way for airport expansions, reservoirs, new building schemes. I feel like that. Like all my neighbours will probably be ok in the end, but meanwhile, the fellowship is being pulled apart and the village atmostphere won’t be the same again. This community pulled me out of the deepest depression I’d had in years. I’m bi polar, so I’ve had a lot of it over the decades; up, down, up, and crash again.
This place has been my godsend. A literally lifesaving hobby, literally because, I HAD got to the point of lining up the bottles of pills in front of me and writing a note. Over dramatic? Probably. But then I’m an unapologetic Loki apologist so what do people expect.
btw, I’m tagging all posts on the new T&C’s ‘1984′.
Hugs darling 🖤 I’ll still be here. Just less of toms ass I guess 😘 I’ve decided I’m going to transfer all my writing to ao3, and delete all my old posts. I don’t have enough time to go through them all. Hopefully that will stop them from deleting my blog. We shall see
Well I just saw a series of posts where someone put up photo’s of a tit in different colours as an experiment, and only the realistic colour got flagged. SO if we only post Jotun asses we might be ok. 😀 😀 😀
JOTUN ASSES.
lol 😂😂😂😂 Man I love this fandom ❤️️
In olden times when a community had to move on the rallied the caravans and set off together and that’s what we will do. @nuggsmum@the-insomniac-cat@finney13s but I am not sing Kumba ya in the evenings ok.
All of us moving to Tomblr. @jennphoenix throw your link up 🤣
LMAO at these gifs (and Jotun asses), @nuggsmum. Here’s an instant join link:
Hmm… *throws her dildos, books on BDSM, confetti gun, snakes, crows, and diaries of Tom-ramblings into a camoflauge bag and starts trekking* [in her most Southern tongue] I reckon I must pack up & journey to a land… a land filled with…
… still kinda sucks.
