Just a PSA to the Marauders fandom that I think we all could use (just a warning cuz this is gonna be reeeeallyy long, sorry 😅):

It’s called FANFICTION and not CANNON, FOR. A. REASON.

Also idk about any other sites bc the only one I use is ao3, but it has tags describing the fic and the things you’ll see in it for a reason. If you don’t like something in it then don’t read it. If there’s something you don’t like in it then don’t read it. Simple as that.

And I’m not trying to be disrespectful but iv seen a LOT of people like all around being disrespectful about other people’s preferences, for example different ships and weather or not it would have been realistic in cannon.

Obviously we’re all gonna have different types of things we like to see in a fic so we’re all gonna have different opinions on different topics.

Some of the most common ones I see are Jegulus and Snape vs. James stuff.

Im really sorry because this is jumping all over the place but the point I’m trying to make is that we all (and if not all of us then definitely the majority) read marauders fanfics or whatever to escape the absolutely tragic end of the cannon marauders. Like, there ALL dead in cannon, so we make up stories to keep them alive forever. Weather or not we change their personalities a little bit, or their appearance, or their preferences ,or the settings their in, whatever, it really doesn’t matter. They’re still gonna be the marauders at the end of the day.

Anyways, please remember to stay respectful to EVERYONE and their preferences. No matter if it’s realistic or not bc be so fr, we’re taking about a bunch of dead wizards who we have going into COMPLETELY different AUs all the time. None of this is realistic.

My end point is going to be that if you don’t like something in a fic or podcast or where ever it is you get your content then don’t read/listen to it. In the end it’s really up to you what you put in your brain and what you chose to do with it so please chose wisely and chose what’s gonna bring you the most happiness.

Anyways sorry this was so long, I got really tired of seeing all the disrespect in this community and just need to get this off my chest, thank you so much for reading all this and PLEASE ignore any grammatical or spelling errors😭

I just found out my art got traced and stolen wtf!????

No pretty format this time cuz I'm quite serious and flabbergasted right now

I was looking for some AdventNEON references for a drawing and I found this post

Newgrounds.com

Advent NEON

Illustration by Adelton

As you can see, this guy traced over MY ART, replaced my signature with theirs, and then posted the artwork on Newgrounds

This is my original artwork

Tumblr

Dead account hellooo

School's been pretty hard recently and I'm going on a huge burnout again woohoo,,,,,, yeeyyy,,,, Although, I had enough time to go hyper si

I genuinely don't know if to be disappointed or somewhat proud that I'm recognized enough for my art to be STOLEN

I've already sent a message to them but I don't know if they'll even reply, I've never used Newgrounds (in fact, I found out about this stolen artwork literally 3 YEARS after it was posted </333) so I'll have to find a way to report the artwork myself, in the meantime, this is to demonstrate that, no matter how small of an artist you are, people can and will steal, always keep your eyes open

I Just Found Out My Art Got Traced And Stolen Wtf!????

౨ৎ. Well hello there Kinito community...

There is something I think you all should be warned about

These recent months a nasty person has begun to lure into the fandom and attack all sorts of people, especially artists, sending them threats, doxing them, and other nasty stuff. Spreading misinformation in other people's inboxes to try and ruin reputations and lives. This situation has gotten out of hand and should not be taken for granted

This anon is specifically going onto a "fetish farming" accusation rampage, accusing artist of non-existent fetishes and accusing them of exposing kids to said fetishes. As you can see, very serious deal to just decide to joke around about

If you have anon asks open, I warn you to BLOCK said anon if you ever encounter them and NEVER blindly believe serious accusations like these, especially if they're done behind the cowardice of an anon ask

In case you don't know how to block anons, here's how:

౨ৎ. Well Hello There Kinito Community...

If you click on the three dots on the top right corner and then select "Block sender", the anon's IP address will be blocked entirely and they will not be able to send any type of ask to any of your blogs (and while you're at it, Report the message)

These accusations can be extremely dangerous if allowed to blow out of proportions so please beware and stay safe

This is why I’ve switched to tagging things “#nws” instead of #nsfw

Tagging PSA

Okay so, lots of people probably already know about how certain keywords in the tags on this dumpsterfire of a site make posts disappear from searches. But in case, like me, you weren’t aware, here are some useful things I learned over the course of the afternoon today:

Not only do these NSFT (not safe for tu**lr) tags make your post not show up in the main tag search or as suggestions to people following the main tag, it also actually hides it on your own tu**lr searches as well. So for example, all my posts where I shared fic or art and tagged “Geraskier” as well as “nsfw” - those posts do not show up in the general Geraskier tag or when I, or anyone else, searches my tu**lr specifically for it

NSFT tags that I discovered today include: nsfw, adult content, explicit, horny, sex, sexy

Tag words that seem to pass okay and still let posts show up include: xeno, smut, kink, hot, porn

‘Hiding’ your NSFT tag in a longer tag doesn’t save them from the rampant censorship; so the tag “do I just think he’s sexy because he used to hang out with Thrawn?” still results in a Vanished From All Searches Post because of the word sexy

The disappearing trick only applies to searches - so the posts will show up on your tu**lr just when scrolling through just fine, but as soon as you try to search for them, poof! Gone.

The words seem to remain uncensored in the body of the post (for now, anyway), so having a fic post that includes the phrase “Rating: Explicit”, for example, does not hide your post from searches as long as there are no NSFT triggers in the post tags themselves

The tag “nsft” itself does seem to show up fine in searches as well, but tbh I don’t trust tu**lr not to send it the way of the nsfw once they clue in to that shortcut, so I’m not gonna bother using it

Please do reblog and comment or reply with other NSFT tags or tricks you’ve come across so we can all avoid having our posts eaten by the erratic censorship machine!

(p.s. Because of this, I won’t be tagging any of my posts with any of the above NSFT tags anymore. So just a heads up, explicit writing or art may show up untagged at any time if you’re following me. I’ll try to remember to use #smut and #kink tags at least, but tbh I’ll probably just forget most of the time.)

From personal experience, I can tell you that libraries are very useful for the poor.

If you would like to help us continue to support libraries in the United States, please consider starting a monthly contribution of $1, $3, $5, or $10. With your contributions we are able to rally more support for libraries at action.everylibrary.org, provide the tools that libraries need to fight against threats to funding and closures, and help libraries grow through funding initiatives so that they can better serve their communities. In fact, for every dollar we raise, we are able to return over $1,600 in stable yearly funding to libraries. That means that your small monthly donation can help us secure almost $200,000 for libraries!

You can easily make a donation at action.everylibrary.org/lessthancoffee

Howdy! Happy Halloween! (...or close enough lmao). I'm here to tell and teach y'all about the rules of something I've had the joy of being a part of for the past few years now... Haunted Houses! Thus, this will be a do's and don'ts list for haunting!

Security and safety. 1. Nothing is real. Not in the derealism sense, don’t worry. I’m talking about how everything around you in a haunted house is meticulously crafted and put together to be as scary and possible. But always remember that one word; Crafted. Nothing, in the entirety of a haunt, is the scary environment that your brain thinks it is. All of the big, scary monsters are just people in costumes, people who have their own life and are here for the fun of scaring people without harm. All of the scary props are fake, there is no actual blood, gore, or dead bodies. All weaponry like machetes, knifes, and chainsaws are also fake, with most being made of plastic to deter injury. (In fact, we can’t even use real chainsaws inside, even with the teeth removed, because the exhaust is dangerous. We use electric, fake ones instead.) What I’m trying to say is— its all imaginary! Make believe! You aren’t in any danger, but your brain makes it think you are! While some people understand this, it’s easy to forget while getting chased down a hallway by someone with a (fake) chainsaw. But it’s always a good thing to remind yourself when you’re in an especially scary part of a haunt. (Plus, it’s a good segway into my next points!)

2. Stop fucking touching stuff. Almost everything inside of a haunted house (or, at least mine) is either handmade, antique, or thrifted. In all, it can be fragile. No, it’s not real flesh on a plate, it’s painted and glossed spray foam with painted glass eyeballs; If you poke it and expect it to be squishy, your finger will go through the foam and ruin it. Don’t touch it. That is an antique typewriter in front of your. I know it’s cool. We can tell if you try to fuck with it cause A. We have cameras, and B. All of the keys will be stuck and we will have to fix it ourselves. Don’t touch it. That is not a mannequin or fake body that your gripping. That is me, pretending to be a mannequin/fake body to scare you when you leave. We both will be uncomfortable when you notice that you’re groping and actor, not a stuffed corpse. Don’t touch it- uh- me.

3. Fight vs Flight vs Freeze. AKA: please stop trying to punch my coworkers, they are not monsters they work at Walmart. A. Fight, don't fucking do this. When someone jumps out and scares you, and your first instinct is to bring up your fists or even swing, you should not be in a haunted house. I’ve seen (and have had) way to many black eyes and bruises from people who swing instead of think. B. Flight, we expect this, but c'mon. Note: this isn’t about parts of a haunt where you’re getting chased, that’s when you’re supposed to run! But when you and your group sprint through a room, knocking everything over when I haven’t even done anything to scare you, that’s when it’s annoying. C. Freeze, best outcome! For me, the best scares that I get out of people is when they freeze up! That way I know you won’t try and knock me out and accidentally get destructive with my room.

Health and Hygiene. 1. Know your ailments! I cannot say this loud enough, if you have epilepsy or just have issues with loud noises, flashing lights, or have heavily impaired vision, I HIGHLY suggest you avoid haunted houses. Not only that, but if you have athsma or any sort of respiratory illness, the smog machines that some haunts have installed can be irritating to the lungs and sinuses. A majority of haunts are not wheelchair accessible due to tight passageways and turns, but may be accessible to those using crutches or canes. In rare cases, though, haunts can have stairways to a basement or upper levels, making traversal much harder. Always research before going!

2. Please shower and deodorize. Listen I get you sometimes can’t control how you smell (like if you work on a farm, slaughterhouse, or in a vet clinic) but if you have the chance, slap on some deodorant and take a shower. With love, an actor whos whole scare for a while was going up and audibly sniffing people. 3. Please do not be under the influence wtf. This is probably a lot more common for my haunt cause I live in a state known for its heavy drinkers. Listen, I know how it’s fun to go out drinking with friends, but please don’t bring it here. Best case scenario you will be a little funny while you go through, worse case is that you completely forget that you got kicked out and banned for public indecency and punching a mannequin. Just don’t. I am begging, on my hands and knees, that you do not even contemplate doing hallucinogenics in a haunted house. What is wrong with you. I know stories where people go through hell while in their BEDROOM. But through a HAUNT?? YOU WILL DIE. A large majority of haunt workers/actors have little to no emergency experience, so we will have no idea what to do if your heart stops or if you start having a stroke. DO NOT.

4. PLEASE don't bring kids. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really fun to see families come through having a good time, I’m talking age-wise. Teens (12-17). Perfectly fine! It’s really common to see families with their teen kids come through, and everyone is usually having a great time! (Or scared shitless) It’s even pretty common for groups of high schoolers/ older teens to come through without supervision. Kids (4-12). This is where we begin to judge you. I get that some kids will beg and cry to be allowed to come with, but a haunted house may actually scar them if they’re on the younger side. Not only are all the loud noises and lights WAAYYY to much stimulation for a child, but the scares can give them nightmares and a few more years of wet mattress syndrome. 90% of the time, no child coming through is having fun. Infants/babies (0-4). WHAT. THAT IS A BABY. PLEASE do not bring infants to a haunted house you WILL scar that poor baby, especially if you don’t know a lot about their physical ailments that may be triggered by the lights, noises, or smoke in a haunt. LEAVE THEM HOME! (YES THIS HAS HAPPENED)

Experience and enjoyment. Remember, while we create the enviroment, you form your own expirence! You have the decisions on how to act in or perceive the huanted house! Take advantage of that! You wanna sprint through completely blind? Sure! You wanna joke and have fun with actors and friends? Go for it! You wanna focus on the craftmanship of different decorations? I encourage it! Always remember, this is an experience! One that you pay for and we hope you have an amazing time with! With that, I’m done! I hope you all have an amazing time getting scared shitless in your local haunt!

A PSA/guide for your haunt-going!

Lovingly handmade by your local haunted house actor for your needs :3

Reminder to be VERY careful about telling your teachers about your mental issues or home issues. I'm not saying don't talk about it in general, but I'm BEGGING you to tread very carefully while telling authority that you haven't already talked with about sensitive subjects. Teachers are legally required to call CPS or a mental institution if they suspect you're being hurt, even if you don't consent. Yes, I HAVE been taken away from my family for telling a teacher about my mental health, and most of my friends have too.

I know that sometimes you do need help. That's okay. But I also know that most people just looking to talk have already decided they don't want something like that.

Just a warning to be careful. Take care of yourselves, but also practice trust.

Not even just fanfics, this applies to literally any kind of media. Poetry, paintings, sculptures, graphite/charcoal drawings, pottery - if you like a post then LIKE IT.

I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.

I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.

If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.

And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.

Please— please please PLEASE- tag anything that has needles. I have Trypanophobia(is that what it's called?). Just thinking about them makes me extremely uncomfortable- surgical or not. Most sharp things also do this to me, but needles are the worst—

Even if it's one of those aesthetic pictures with glitter, I still can't do it.

Hi, yes, I think I need to say something

Just because I'm interacting with another blog that has the same muse as you doesn't mean I'm bored of you! All portrayals are different.

But, if this does bother you, please tell me so I can make you an exclusive! My blog is supposed to be a safe place ♡

every single republican told us we were overreacting. trump swore he had nothing to do with project 2025 yet continues implementing details outlined in it. not a single person has the right to tell us we’re being dramatic anymore.

hope “cheaper eggs and gas” was worth it.
