[LOST MEDIA FOUND] The first version of the Barbie Princess Dress-Up game has been completely found! Originally, the Rapunzel part was thought to be the only part archived. But today I discovered the Swan Lake and Nutcracker parts were saved on the French version of the site (fr.barbie.com)
Google drive:Â https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qxEELXk8lyMjDW-zeNx4Izqxf_zwzNyc?usp=sharing
the discovery of 'girly' lost media will forever make my heart happy. i rejected girly sites SO hard while growing up and now i would do anything to be able to experience this era of the internet again,,,
These are from various places including Washington times, Knickerbocker news, Times-union, and Daily Gazette. We have the dates and issues for each, so we're going to search for them in higher quality too!
I just lost what could be actual lost media of sorts and I feel like shit.
So basically like 2 or 3 years ago I remember looking for fics of Memorias de Idhun (The Idhun Chronicles) and finding this personal blog publication that had the title "Recomendacion de fanfic de memorias de idhun" and just as said on the title, it recommended a fic. The poster described the fic as being about the characters being interviewed, and that if you didn't mind the characters being occasionally ooc (out of character) then you would enjoy it, and they even had the link attached, with the link being called "Mi nombre? Mi nombre es..." or something similar to this which was also the title of the fic. I copied the link to the Wayback Machine since it naturally didn't show up just by the usual Google search, and while it took a while to load someone HAD saved it fortunately all the way back in 2008, though the fic might be older am not sure, on the now extinct fic site called Potterfics, which am pretty sure was a largery Hispanic fic site.
The fic isn't a masterpiece or anything, it's just that particular brand of teenage cringiness and humor of the 2000's that feels like a valuable part of both internet history and might be a fic someone read all those years ago, wanted to read again but couldn't find again for obvious reasons.
I didn't save anything like an idiot, not the blog post link, or the fic link, and Wayback Machine doesn't have a search history option. I even tried using the "My Activity" option on Google but it seems like the blog was deleted so now I'm stuck. At most it might have been cross-posted on Wattpad, since when the fic site fell, many fics were saved to be posted on Wattpad, but I can't find it either.
If anyone here knows ANYTHING please tell me on the comments below, it would mean a lot đđ
Uh. So I guess this technically isn't @jackredfieldwasmyjacob 's Idhun Musical but I've really wanted to share this for a while and it is from Falsettos which is a musical so anyways.
This is based on a fic-verse called Bidhun where Jack and Kirtash are in love with each other. This takes place when Victoria had already woken up but was still very weak. Anyways enjoy. (Ima post the last one later cause Tumblr only let's me post 10 lmao)

Leelah Alcorn was a trans girl, a teenager, who sadly committed suicide nearly 10 years ago. I'm happy that her comic touches the hearts of so many people, years after her death.
I saved screenshots of her blog and last message to the world. Her parents had a lot of control over how she was perceived after her death, but it was also to prevent deletion by Tumblr itself. Even back then, Tumblr has been shadow banning trans women on this platform.
My heart goes out to all trans women who are struggling with society's expectations of who they are supposed to be and who they are allowed to be. May you find peace, growth, and respite from whatever you're going through. You deserve happiness, most of all. Thank you for living, thank you for being here with us.
do you have any tips for writing smut?? i have a dabi smut idea that lives in my head rent free but i canât figure out how to write it without it being all lame and childlike sksksk

I'm an aspiring fandom writer and honestly you inspire me sm!! I really want to get into writing smut though and I'm always terrified of the backlash I'll get
I got these two asks, and Iâm going to answer them together because I feel like the themes overlap~Â
Warning; NSFW content below, and this post is VERY long. Honestly, I get this question quite a bit, and I decided to just go full out and write a whole essay (sorry, not sorry).
Iâve read a lot of smut, I love it.
Iâm that person that reads it in the morning with a nice cup of tea because writing smut is really damn hard.
You mention the âchildishâ aspect, and I totally understand what you mean because I find a lot of smut falls under this category, unintentionally.
How do you break away from that?Â
Get used to talking dirty.
Reading smut is a lot different than writing it, and not because of the obvious. For example, it is super easy to read the sentence, âShe opened her mouth, tongue lapping the head of his cock as spit dribbled down his shaft,â than to write it.Â
And for me, the best way to move past that internal block was to write smut, for my eyes only, to stop getting shy. I literally wrote pages of âcunt, pussy, cock, dick, breasts, clitâ in sentences to rid of that apprehension that we are conditioned to have about sex. Sex isnât bad, itâs normal, and I never realized how accustomed we are to be ashamed of (healthy, safe) sex until you try to write it. And this also includes writing more kinker or darker themes in general.
Many writers want to write smut, and they start writing it but chicken out right as things get juicy, thus, rushing it. Here is an example of what I mean;
Example; their tongues and spit mix together as they feverishly grasped each other. Her hands threading through her hair as her lover kissed with desperation, her eyes blown. Both of them wearing expressions of utter lust, the desire to consume. She rested over her girlfriend's thigh, grinding against it to seek pleasure, and she kept on rubbing before she orgasmed. Her girlfriend tossed her on the bed, ripping off her clothes before stripping her own, and they humped.
This is a perfect example of a steamy, detailed scene with great pacing before it starts getting rushed. There is a disconnect between what we begin with and where we end. And smuts like this is fine if youâre doing fade-to-black, or you want to keep it very vague. But if you're going to write heavy, explicit, smut, the people demand more~!
By being comfortable to refer to human biology, I found it easier to write smut. Rather than just stopping at her riding her girlfriend's thigh and making her cum in the same sentence, why not describe the foreplay? How did she look like in her girlfriends' eyes? Were her nipples erect through her shirt, or was her bra in the way? How wet was she? Was she leaking through her pants, or was it a cute patch until her girlfriend fingered her and her wetness began to seep.
While you donât have to go into details for every action, no details can also leave the reader bored. But this also leads to the next issue and tip.
Understand how sex works.
You donât need to be sexually active to write smut. Many people are completely turned off by sex, yet write smut like some divine being.Â
The point is that while smut is supposed to play a part in oneâs fantasy, it does have to link back to some sort of reality (this excludes other genres of smut like tentacles/hybrid/etc.).
You can usually tell when it is a first-time, or inexperienced, smut writer because they rush through everything to get to the big finale. But because you rush through everything, the big finale doesnât feel âgrandâ - and this ties back with getting comfortable with writing the nasty.
Understanding how the body responds when aroused, climbing up the ladder until you hit that point of orgasm can make for great smut. The tension, the lead-up. Thereâs a reason why smuts tend to be quite long and detailed by default; itâs because there are so many elements that come into play.Â
And I am not saying that every smut has to include foreplay and whatnot, because we have, one of my personal favourites, quickies.
Quickies typically donât include foreplay because the urge to cum is so overwhelming. However, quickies still work quite well because rather than foreplay as the natural lead-up, you have that tension. The sweaty-palms, erratic movements of the characters fucking themselves to reach that high they so desperately need. I, personally, find quickies the hardest to write because you are trying to do everything smut usually does in quite a bit of words, in a short time span, while also not rushing it despite the characters rushing.
Words/Tone.
Make sure the words you pick reflect the mood you are trying to set. If youâre writing vanilla, sweet sex, donât include words and details that are usually viewed as harsher or vulgar. The same concept applies if youâre writing darker, kinkier smut but in reverse.
Example: âHe stared down, watching her lips part as sweet moans left her. How her eyes fluttered shut, a rosy blush over her chest as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Chest rising and falling in the pace of his thrusts, urging him to go fasterâ versus âHe growled into his ear. His large hand was snaking down his body, cupping his heavy balls as he snapped his hips. He watched his partner wither, the crown of his dick hitting that sinful spot inside of him. The bead of pre-cum sliding down his partners' length as he continued to get fucked, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.â
This is going to be a bit controversial, but words to refer to anatomy is a heavily debated subject.
Many smut writers hate using a euphemism, like âmanhoodâ = âpenis.â I donât mind them, as long as they are used sparsely or in the flow of the smut.
My rule of thumb is to write smut to your taste.
If you, personally, donât mind reading things like, âhe let his tongue sweep, pulling apart her delicate petals, before ravishing her precious flower and slurping on her sweet essenceâ then write like this. If a sentence like that makes you cringe, donât write using euphemisms.Â
This also refers back to the cum versus come debate.
Use whatever makes you happy, you canât please everyone~
Backlash
Iâll tell you this right now; there will always be backlash. Itâs the sad but honest truth, and the best way to avoid or minimize the possibility of backlash is to tag. I always try to tag my smut with the appropriate tags.
For example, Limerence smut is usually tagged with âNSFW atla, smut, zuko smut, atla smut.â It is quite common for people to put NSFW and the fandom afterward and include what makes the piece NSFW, in this instance, âsmut.â This way, people who donât like this content can filter and block these tags, and voila ~ Both sides are happy đ¤
I am 100% guilty of sometimes forgetting to add the tags, but overall, people are quite nice and will send you a quick DM to remind you! Tags can sometimes mess up. Iâll sometimes tag only for Tumblr to erase it and not notice till someone reminds me.
Unfortunately, every fandom has those âfandom policeâ that will argue that youâre doing âthe devilâs workâ and try to harass you. What do I do?
Block.
I hate blocking people, but this year taught me that sometimes you have to do it. For your sanity, but also to protect the people who consume your work.
Try to talk shit about me, fine, but talk shit about my readers? Oh, this is war.Â
Other Tips
Have fun.
My gosh, please just have fun while writing smut. This is for fun, to bring joy to yourself and maybe a few others. Your first attempts at smut are not going to be beautiful pieces of art (mine wasnât, thatâs for sure), but as long as you learn and had fun, who cares.
If I have other tips in mind, Iâll add it to here, since I wrote so much already, I already forget a few things (oops).
Hopefully, you lovely anons, and others as well, finds this helpful~!
Whizzerâs real first name is Michael. His mom is Jewish, his dad is not. Technically by Jewish law this makes him Jewish anyway, but he still identifies as âhalf.â
Whizzer is the second of four kids. He has an older sister named Nancy, a younger sister named Cassie, and a younger brother named Charlie. The summer before Whizzerâs senior year in high school, he and his family go to New York for the first time and they see the off-Broadway production of âYouâre A Good Man, Charlie Brown.â Whizzer does not stop giving his brother shit about this. EVER.
Whizzer and Marvin went to the same college, but they werenât there at the same time (Iâve always headcanoned Marvin/Trina/Mendel/Charlotte to have been born roughly around 1945 and Whizzer/Cordelia to be born some time around 1950).
Whizzer told Jason that he got the name Whizzer by being the fastest sprinter on his high school track team. The real reason Whizzer is named Whizzer is because he got caught showing off peeing hands-free in the NYU locker room circa 1971. The only one who knows that is Marvin. Trina, Charlotte and Cordelia just think heâs called Whizzer because he âlives fast.â Mendel doesnât particularly care to ask.
Whizzer is the only member of the TKF who openly admits to liking pineapple on his pizza. Marvin loves it more than Whizzer does but he wonât admit it, Charlotte and Cordelia go for the more artsy fancy toppings, Mendel and Jason both tried it once and almost barfed all over the table, and Trina flat out refuses to try it.
Whizzer puts wayyyy too much cream cheese on his bagel and licks it off seductively to tease Marvin.
Whizzer is the only person (besides the dog, who is a dog and not a person) who likes Trinaâs banana carrot surprise. Thatâs right, not even Trina likes it.
Whizzer tried drag once, but got mistaken for Bea Arthur and never did it again (not that thereâs anything wrong with Bea Arthur, it just wasnât the look he was going for).
When Whizzer got back together with Marvin, he gave Marvin a giant bag of M & Ms (for âMichael and Marvinâ). Initially Marvin didnât âget it,â then he thought it was cheesy, then he started thinking about serving them at some kind of commitment ceremony.
When Whizzer gets sick, Trina realizes how much he really means to Marvin and sometimes will visit him in the hospital even when Marvinâs not there. They usually talk about light-hearted things, but their conversations often get really deep. Whizzer knows things about Trina that Marvin doesnât (but Mendel does, she tells Mendel everything).
