Made a Promise to a Lady

You can find me @ eternallyec on Elysian Fields and Archive Of Our Own. I like fictional characters more than most people and I'm a shipper at heart.

Hello, everyone!

I was doing some research and it seems to be the case that a "World Physical Media" day does not exist (yet). Now, this may be silly of me, but I want to change that! So, I am establishing a grassroots movement and you are all invited to join.

I would love for there to be a day every year where we celebrate all things tangible, with the backbone of it being media preservation and fan participation.

I have decided that the date will be December 11th. December 11th 1978 was the day that the LaserDisc (then known as DiscoVision) debuted. Though a somewhat niche format, LaserDisc represents the philosophy of World Physical Media Day: preservation of uncut/imported/obscure media, the power of fan culture and the beauty of physical media. The day will be about all physical media, though, not just LaserDiscs!

If you care about media preservation, enjoy posting shelfies, are tired of disingenuous AI slop content or just simply enjoy actually owning and holding something you love, please consider joining the movement!

Ways to support World Physical Media Day:

Purchase physical media (especially from a local, bricks and mortar store if possible!)

Share your collections, fave editions and "shelfies" with the hashtag #WorldPhysicalMediaday

Borrow physical media from a library or put a request in

Watch a movie/show on physical media (e.g: DVD, blu-ray, LaserDisc, VHS, Betamax, etc)

Listen to an album on physical media (e.g: vinyl, CD, cassette, minidisc) from beginning to end

Visit a library, bookstore, game store or video store, spread the word about World Physical Media Day if you're so inclined!

Preserve and back up media you own: learn how to catalogue collections, protect your media and investigate ways on how you can create backups (or find someone in your community who can)

Share stories behind your fave physical media

Donate unwanted physical media to libraries, charities and other organisations that may be looking for it

Learn about a physical media technology you don't know much about

Host a meetup: watch a DVD with friends, listen to a vinyl record with a family member, etc!

These are just some suggestions, you are more than welcome to celebrate the day however feels right and manageable to you. ‪‪❤︎‬

I know this is obviously very early but I feel like it doesn't hurt to put it out there now and promote the endeavour. I also wanted to share now so that if anyone has any ideas or contributions they'd like to make, there is ample time.

P.S: my handwriting is sloppy, yes, but it is my own! I like writing on pen and paper and I felt like it was in the spirit of what I want World Physical Media Day to be about: authenticity, enjoyment and the preservation of the tangible ꨄ︎

Looking For A Guffy Fic

First, an ask: If the ship squicks you, I understand and don't need to hear it for the thousandth time. Please just scroll along.

With that out of the way.... There was an incredible fanfiction I've been trying to find again for literal years at this point, and I am now desperate enough to post here.

It featured the song When Somebody Loved Me and I think that was the title, although I could be mistaken. Buffy was moving away and Giles was angsting hard over how much he loved her but never had the courage to tell her and, spoiler alert, he decides to let her go without telling her. It was so evocative and made me cry and I even had it printed out at one point, but it didn't survive the years, unfortunately. I would dearly love to read it again if anyone at all has a copy or can point to where it might be archived!

Thanks in advance!!

No one cares less about rape, consent, or the well-being of survivors than people who use rape as a shorthand to score points in an argument against someone who ships something they don't like. It's not a reality to them; it's a prop. It's a rhetorical sucker punch. Their way of shutting up women and non-binary individuals who don't react to characters the "right way."

People who are that cavalier about rape, that eager to use it as a weapon against strangers in a fucking fandom (whose only crime is Enjoying a Thing), don't take it or survivors seriously. Full stop.

When I say “I love you”, it’s not because I want you, or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand, with perfect clarity, exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a woman. You’re the one, Buffy.

I love them, your honor 🥰🫡
