I'm Literally Begging You To Help Us Defend Our Freedom Of Speech. We Have Eight Days.

Omg pls stop

IM SORRY

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FEVER

PLEASE STOP CALLING ME SEPSIS SISTER

PLZ OMG

callout post for a friend of mine - she knows who she is - who got ill two weeks ago and had to go to hospital where they thought she had sepsis and is sTILL convinced that iT wAsNt ThAt BaD

So someone sent an ask to a hetalia blog and I think the op deleted the ask but I’d already typed this out and I’m feeling strongly about it so I’ll post it myself even though without the context of an ask its cringy.

Basically, you cannot call the Hetalia fandom tainted or tell us we’re forever marked and we now, at this point in time, have to start making an effort to change.

Firstly, literally every single media out there will be tainted with bad fans, with bad content, with bad everything. Just like rule 34, if it exists, there will be problematic issues related to it.

We cannot be holding back a fandom for the actions of people 10 years ago who likely are not even a part of the fandom anymore or who are extremely different to who they are 10 years ago.

Fandoms are fluid and constantly changing with  different members, trends and engagement.

It has been demonstrated through time, the fact that they were not in the fandom to witness it is not the fandoms fault. It is changed now, every single fandom for any book, movie franchise, youtuber, any piece of media will have changed drastically in 10 years time.

You cannot hold the current fandom at fault and put the responsibility on the current fandom for the actions of a different fandom in a different time where all fandoms were in a completely different culture. Its unfair, unrealistic and selective.

The fandom is not tainted. We are not inherenting anything other than a show that we can create content for and engage with whilst being completely disconnected from the past fandom.

We did want it ressurected. That is how they found us, thats how the raiders found the fandom, thats how many old and new fans found it. It was in a ressurection proccess, with tags and projects being made to engage new and old fans.

Its being ressurected because people enjoy the show. Thats it. A fandom is a group of people who currently enjoy a piece of media. It can have a generally good or bad viewership (and most large ones do have bad ones) but a fandom isn’t tainted, it physically cannot be tainted.

Do not put a burden on us that was never ours to own. We can only mold the fandom now, we can only influence it now, we can’t influence the or mold the past and you cannot expect us to.

You can either judge us as we are now or you, in a genuinely polite way, please mind your own business.

If you want to help people affected by the explosion, I beg of you please don't donate to petitions! The government will most likely steal it because our lebanese gov is just amazing like that 😒🙃🙃

If you do want to help please donate to the red cross. Also try and find lebanese people asking you to directly help them(kofi patreon and idk what else there is). Our houses, shops, etc... Are all shattered so we need more direct donation to be able to help.

Thankfully my house wasn't affected, but there's an artist on Instagram named Audrey (@audreyghousoub)that has put up a kofi link in one of her stories to directly help her rebuild her house. That's the only person ik who needs help (well at least with money) so it would mean a lot to help her. Edit: here's the link.

Other than that, if anyone else needs help, don't hesitate to just say it! Everyone is willing to help💕 stay safe everyone!

I haven't heard of this person before but an artist helps a fellow artist even if rebloging is the only thing I can do (I have no money...)

Hello everyone!

My favorite artist and great inspiration @me-za-me-ro ‘s home was destroyed by an explosion and they lost everything. Please consider donating some money to the paypal and kofi in the description 🙏 MZMR also made many many amazing pieces of YOI fanart, which is why I thought Tumblr was probably the best medium to post this to.

Here are some examples of MZMR’s amazing YOI drawings 💗

💗⚠️PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE⚠️💗

i urge my fellow brits to email their local mp telling them to urge parliament to stop exports of tear gas, rubber bullets, and other items the american police force are using against the protestors, and so on and so forth to the usa.

i will delete racist replies on this :)

The director of cybersecurity from the Electronic Freedom Foundation is offering to help women who have been threatened with compromise of their devices.

Me after hearing my dad say he's going shopping: Did Papa go out?

one of my favorite human quirks is when the power goes out and you’re w other ppl and inevitably someone says ‘did the power go out?’ like...you’re all sitting there in the dead dark, tv black, wifi gone, lights OUT but still they’re like ‘hm. well I have a theory but it needs to be submitted for peer-review’
