Reblog this if its okay for your followers to introduce themselves to you.

WATER

EARTH

Fire

AIR

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avacatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I adopted the new Avacatar, a kittybender named Steve. And although his felinebending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Steve can save the world.

The Three Laws of Fandom

If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.

If you aren’t able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.

Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.

The First Law of Fandom

Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)

It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.

There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.

The Second Law of Fandom

Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)

Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. It’s not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. It’s not up to you to police fandom. 

If you don’t like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking.  

But you have no right to say to any creator “I do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.”

It’s not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. That’s censorship. Don’t do it.

The Third Law of Fandom

Ship And Let Ship (SALS)

Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.

It’s not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.

You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.

It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.

These three laws add up to the following:

You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasn’t to your taste. That’s the height of bad manners.

Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.

I have been very disappointed

send me the chubbiest kitten

Don't you love that feeling when you fail the first the test of the semester in class and you spend the rest of the day with horrible anxiety because you either drop the class or take a blow to your gpa and so can't focus on the 3 assignments you needed to do and you finally calm yourself down and convince yourself it's not actually a big deal and you don't need to worry about and so when you're talking to your mom later that day when you're driving around you bring it up casually and she starts freaking out on you, saying you need at least 15 hours even though there is literally no requirement saying you need 15 hours and then you start crying and she's like "why are you crying" and you try to explain how anxious and streesed you've been literally the entire day and you were just hoping for her to say it was fine if you needed to lessen your workload except you can't because you're crying and can't talk and then she's still aggravated because it was a misunderstanding and she thought you were being lazy because you were acting like it wasn't a big deal, and then you get to where you were driving and she starts talking to her friend and you're trying to casually look away from them so they can't see your face and your mom's like "oh go say hi" even though you're literally crying and you have to be polite and say hi even though you are actually fucking crying and

Yeah isn't that just the greatest feeling ever

Dear Bunjy, as I understand it most predators do a threat assessment and attack when the situation is in their favor. But some animals are more aggressive than others. Who would you say is the most dgaf predator?

all predators run that risk assessment to some extent and avoid situations where they might get their head kicked in, but the closest is probably mustelids in general. having the "if I die I die, but I AM TAKING YOU WITH ME" to every other animal in their area is very much the defining trait of the mustelid family.

(it's because they want to establish that their kind is Not To Be Fucked With deeply in the minds of every other animal, and this tactic is in fact largely successful)

that and being Tubes, I guess. THE TUBES HUNGER FOR VALHALLA
