some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.

SQUID GAME ◯ △ ☆ ☂

“I love you.” He said beneath the obnoxious song of the crickets. His onyx irises stared up at the night sky, at the thousands of stars watching this one scene that would not be known to anyone else.

Just him, her, and the stars.

Madison felt her heart drop into the depths of Tartarus as the small smile that once graced her soft lips disappeared into the light fog that caressed the two of them. What did he just say?

He... He loved her?

She stared down at the grass they sat upon, glistening with the morning dew. The sun had not kissed this part of Earth just yet, but it was leaving the other side of the world quickly.

A part of the world she had yet to defend.

Ever since she had learned about this new Guardian stuff and all the secrets her so-called parents kept from her, life as an oblivious city girl seemed so perfect right now. Everyone was depending on her, all eyes were on her now.

Now Malory just had to come out of nowhere with a confession of love.

Madison spotted the large silvery wings that replaced the male’s arms since birth. They were so beautiful, slightly ruffled as Malory anxiously waited for her response. They reminded her of the first comet she had ever seen after leaving the city for the first time.

It brought back the memory of their first meeting.

What could she say? ‘Sorry, but I’m not interested.’? ‘There’s someone else.’? She felt no romantic love for the male before her, yet her mind was pleading for her to say something that wouldn’t hurt the both of them.

‘Think, Brain, THINK!’

The whole time they had known each other, Malory had been nothing but good to her. He had sacrificed so much for her, her safety, and her goal. To hurt him right here on this hill of daisies?

She’d be no better than the ones who nearly killed him.

“I love you too.” She lied.

It had slid past her lips do smoothly, so effortlessly, yet the pain behind it was unbearable.

She had lied to one of the only people supporting her in this war.

Malory smiled down at her, unknowing of the lie she had pierced his heart with. His gargantuan wings slowly held her in a hesitant, yet loving, embrace. Madison limply followed along, hearing his heartbeat as she stared at the two dark, identical scars beneath his chest.

This heart, beating so strongly for her... would soon be broken.

They stood there in each other’s hold, one happy beyond all knowledge, and one slowly dying in self-hate.

Just him, her, and the stars.
