Reminder that the OTW election is coming up and if you are eligible to vote you should vote.

I am voting because there is a person running who in the chat transcripts really concerns me because it is anti language and I do not fucking want that anywhere near the board.

Tiffany is clearly very new to all of this and I think she is very VERY inexperienced in fandom places and fandom in general and doesnt seem to understand what the OTW is doing/what fandom really is/ how AO3 works, and why. She has no place on the OTW.

paintedrecs

Yo, if you’re eligible to vote in the AO3 election, make sure you do so - to keep Tiffany G. from being on the board. This is very distressing.

#She is a government worker in China who has barely participated in any Fandoms except watched some Digimon as a kids #Lmao she also twisted the real reason AO3 was banned in China #It was because of shipping wars between fans lmaooooooo #Pray that she doesn't get elected and start censoring AO3 to #Otherwise creaters live up to her standards in order to make porn!!!#China prob will ban it anyways

Right after I finished moving... A tiring week of no rentals.... I am told that I need to move again 🥲 dang I never want to own stuff anymore

Roommate: You are just afraid of success

you know unions have done a lot in the 170+ years since A Christmas Carol came out because this assumes Bob works 40 hours a week. Nah. Bob probably worked closer to 70, or ~12 hours a day, 6 days a week. i'm not sure where Chris got his numbers, but 15 shillings is 15/20 of a pound (£). that's a wage of less than a pound a week, so let's round up to a neat £40 a year. £40 a year in 1843 is the purchasing power equivalent of £5,337.51 today, or about $7,052.33. doing inflation and money conversion earlier than ~1906 is difficult because we spend our money on different things so we can't use the same benchmarks, but i used https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1843?amount=40

apologies, but chris's tweet goes around every year and it makes me angry. the level of poverty in industrial britain cannot be underestimated. dickens' portrayal of the cratchits and their poverty is an idealized form he prettied up to appeal to his middle class readers. only one of his kids is ill, they all still live with him, and his wife stays home and cooks. this is the victorian ideal of middle class morality, but with the gloss of poverty porn applied to it. in reality, all of them would have been ill. all of the children would have seen so little sunshine due to how close the buildings were built and overlapped and how thick the coal smog was, they would be suffering from vitamin d deficiency. six kids with rickets, low level scurvy, and protein deficiency from basically eating nothing but bread. malnutrition so bad the eight year old would have been the size of a child half that age. many of those kids would have been rounded up sent out to the english countryside to work in factories. where they likely would have died because even the six year olds were working 14 hour days, around machinery that didn't have any safety features, doing repetitive physical work that would have malformed their bones.

mrs cratchit would have been working too, in a factory, at-home piecework, and keeping house which in reality they likely would have shared with two or three other families and slept on the floor in shifts because there wasn't enough square footage for everyone to lie down at once. none of the cratchits are turning to alcohol to deaden the pain, none of the children are dosed with opium so the crying from hunger stops. neither mrs cratchit nor the children are engaged in sex work for just a little bit more money. none of them have their faces eaten away by syphilis. none of them are dying of cholera or tuberculosis. dickens' poverty is there for the moral betterment of wealthier people, not an accurate reflection of the real lives of the destitute. because the cratchits aren't destitute. they're the pretty kind of poverty, the worthy poor. bob can read and write, he's had schooling. he's a "better kind" of working man. he's on the same 'level' as scrooge. the real poverty is the twisted forms under the ghost of christmas present's robes by all means be angry at our poverty now! please be angry at our poverty now! the money is there for everyone to live a comfortable life, children to go to school, and only the minimum of work or no work at all. we have the idea of a civic society that is reciprocal. so many things are automated now, people don't need to toil to survive; it is distribution that is the issue. but do not gloss over exactly how horrible industrial cities were before all the work of unions and reformers made them livable.

List of Shame - The WIP Game

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and I’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it. And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Thank you @fiveyaaas and @chaotic-fiveya-shipper for tagging me! It took me a while to reply, hopefully I’m still on time! I have way too many wips that I started and didn’t know how to finish (help…) I also don’t really think of a title until I finish a work…maybe that’s something I can change and might help me finish wips 😭

Here are some that more or less have concrete drafts already:

1. Vinland saga Ylva-centered fic about a particular event in her childhood with sheep, slice of life/character study

2. Vinland saga Askeladd-centered fic, more or less character study (moments before his death)

3. TUA comic skit about five and vanya, slice of life/character study

4. TUA comic skit for fiveya week this year, title Young/Old (dang will I finish it on time??)

I also have like 10 fics I started translating 2 years ago and haven’t finished 😭 Again thanks for tagging me! I tag @aterglittle @pimpmizziriam @jubberry @startledbirb

Harry Potter AU in which Fred and George are in different houses and they steal and wear each others ties whilst doing stupid things in hope of the others house losing points

thatwriterchickyouknow

Finally a Fred and George AU that doesn’t make me want to set myself on fire.

lytefoot

AU where Fred and George are in different houses and they get their hands on house ties from the other two houses as well. By the end of their first year nobody knows which house either of them is in and just take points off a random house whenever they see a redhead getting up to something.

The confusion runs so deep by the time Ron starts that Snape once takes points off Slytherin for Ron fighting with Malfoy.

chippish

There’s a few months in Fred and George’s second year when they successfully convince most of the school that they’re actually quadruplets, one in each house.

roseverdict

“George! Why are you wearing a Slytherin tie?”

“What? No, I’m Edward. Y'know, Slytherin’s resident Weasley?”

“Wh…huh???”

“Next you’ll be telling me you don’t know Hubert!”

“?????”

doctorgeekery

After this confusing quadruple mess, a conspiracy theory emerges that Fred and George are actually just one person, and there were never any Weasley Twins. To add fuel to this theory, Fred and George make a point to never be seen together (publicly).

When asked about this theory, Fred/George subtly insinuates that he used Polyjuice Potion so that there could be multiple versions of himself at once. This goes around the Hogwarts Rumor Mill like fire. The Weasley family says nothing to dispute it, not even Percy.

hippocrates460

Percy makes polyjuice successfully for the first time in his fifth year, when he finally has sufficient motivation. Fred, George, Edward and Hubert walk into the great hall one morning, identical but for their school ties, and the chaos is so great that nobody realizes Percy and Ron are missing.
