Dove's Melody Project FAQ

• What is the Dove’s Melody Project?

Dove’s Melody Project is a blog where you can find information about ongoing music industry boycotts, news, protests etc. The goal is to make people aware of these boycotts, why they are being done and so they can stay informed on what to do and how they can participate in it

• Why are people trying to boycott music labels & kpop companies?

The big three are western music (Sony Music, UMG & Warner) as well as the big 4 (HYBE, SM, JYPE) and Starship Entertainment have zionists working under these companies, collaborated or have sponsors with zionist brands, had zionist producers working for them & have CEOs that support the genocide and actively fund it. Kakao Entertainment is also a company people are trying to actively boycott since they distribute half of the Kpop industry’s music and have ties with Israeli companies. If you want more information about the boycotts, you can check out Zionists In Music on both Twitter and Instagram, you can check this carrd for information about the HYBE boycott

• How are these boycotts supposed to help?

Zionism thrives off propaganda and said propaganda is being spread by higher-ups in the music industry as we speak. Not to mention, said people are directly funding that genocide with money from music consumers. Them existing in this industry, means they have the money and the connections to keep spreading propaganda whether it’s in the industry or through their social media. This propaganda is one of the reasons why this genocide is still able to keep happening and thriving! If these people are no longer in this space or in a position of power, it will stop the propaganda and also people’s money will not be used to fund a genocide anymore. It’s imperative that we don’t allow these CEOs and music executives to keep thriving in this space since they don’t deserve to be here in the first place. If you want to understand how these streams can fund the genocide, you can refer to this thread. If you don't have Twitter and can't check out the thread, you can check it through this post.

• How long will these boycotts last?

Until the needs are met! Meaning, when these people are possibly fired or removed from their positions and these labels and companies are no longer supporting or funding the genocide or supporting brands that are zionist

• Will the artists under these labels/companies will be affected by this boycott?

Honestly, that’s the last thing that should be on your mind right now. The boycotts are being done because we are in solidarity with Palestinian people and we want these labels and companies to stop platforming zionists and also fund the genocide. Some of the artists you might listen to are pretty established in the industry or are from these big companies and the truth of the matter is, they might not be affected. These artists must realize why this is being done and why we need to take such measures to get our point across

[dagger-fest]

Hello! I know this is all very new but I am very excited and I was wondering if there will be a schedule so we can plan ahead for different characters?

(ie. what if you already had a Bob fic idea… and posting during dagger fest would be perfect for it…)

@tornadeoqueen yes!! I'll be adding it to the pinned post soon for ease and it'll always be able to be seen through the desktop layout.

FAQ & Rules

Check our FAQ and Rules listed under the cut for the Mungrove Kiss Bingo!

FAQ

What is this?

Mungrove Kiss Bingo is a Stranger Things-themed fanwork event focused on the “Billy Hargrove/Eddie Munson” pairing. It’s low-pressure and open to all!

Do I have to sign up?

You do not need to sign-up, as there is only one bingo card for everyone, and it was already posted. All you need to participate is create something to match one or several prompts and post it in the AO3 collection, or on tumblr/twitter and @ and tag the mungrovebingos account so we can see and reblog!  

What is the timeline?

The event will be running from February 14th, 2024 to March 1st, 2024.

What kind of content is accepted?

Everything! You can submit any form of creative fanwork you can think of. We welcome all forms of writings (fanfic, headcanons, poetry, song lyrics, etc.), ‘fanarts’ (traditional art, digital art, photography, knitting, cooking, music, etc.) and works in progress! For example, digital art includes drawings, paintings, gifsets, edits, fanmixes… Everything you can think of.

Do you accept late submissions?

We will accept late submissions until March 8th, 2024.

Which platforms are allowed?

You can post anywhere you want; we accept submissions to the AO3 collection and will be reblogging on Tumblr and retweeting on Twitter. If you wish to post something on other platforms such as Instagram or else, you can ask the mungrovebingos tumblr to post a link to your creation on your behalf. We also accept anonymous contributions on AO3 and Tumblr.

Is NSFW/E-rated content allowed?

Yes, adults can create NSFW content—but remember everything must be tagged appropriately! We allow NSFW, E-rated and 18+ content. If you’re wondering about specific warnings (such as non-con, underage, major character death, “dead dove: do not eat”, etc.) please check out the rules below!

What are the specifics concerning the AO3 collection?

The Collection will be open on February 14th, 2024.

Do we have to fit every square in one work?

No, you can use several prompts for one work, or one prompt per work, it’s all up to you!

Rules

1. Any type of content should be mainly focused on the Billy/Eddie pairing.

That said—other pairings are allowed, as long as Mungrove is the focus. For example: you can have Max/Lucas as a secondary pairing. Mentions of past or relationships are obviously allowed, but “Billy/Eddie/[character]” ships such as Harringroveson (Billy/Eddie/Steve) aren’t meant to be a part of this event. We obviously won’t hunt you and take you down with a sniper if the fic you write (for example) mentions this ship, but it has to be focused on Billy and Eddie.

2. No explicit situations of characters under 16 are allowed.

Explicit situations include extremely violent or sexual situations. If you are unsure whether your content is considered explicit or not, you can send an ask to the Mungrove tumblr (you do not need a tumblr account). If the characters are above 16, everything else is allowed (dark themes, smut, etc…) as long as you follow rule #4.

3. No bashing allowed.

“Spite” content must be restricted to spite against Canon or anything considered Stranger Things in-universe. We discourage bashing against characters. Being critical isn’t bashing! Portraying Neil as a bigoted, violent man isn’t bashing considering how he behaves in the show and there is such a thing as an unreliable narrator (Example: Billy thinking Everything Is Max’s Fault) and that is more than fine, but a heavy focus on making a character much worse than he actually is to create spite content against another ship for example is heavily discouraged (Example: turning Steve into some kind of awful evil ex as a fuck you to Steddie, Harringrove or Harringroveson shippers is prohibited, there is no need for such things).

4. Content must always be tagged appropriately.

No matter what platform you post on, tag your content appropriately and follow the platform’s etiquette. For example: if you post NSFW Mungrove art featuring choking on a non-explictly NSFW Twitter account, mark your content as sensitive and add “choking” to your tweet—so that people can be appropriately warned. If you post Mungrove headcanons on Tumblr featuring Child Abuse, either warn about it in your post or by using the tagging system. If you post on AO3, you must use the appropriate rating, the Archive Warnings whenever necessary, and either tag trigger warnings with canonical tags or list them in the author’s notes. If you use the Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings for surprises and/or twists, tag major trigger warnings in the end notes. For example: if you post a Soundcloud song with lyrics containing Major Character Death and Torture; add “torture and mcd” to your end notes as content warning if you decided to pick Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings on AO3.

Main FAQ

I've noticed that people are asking a lot of the same questions so here's a more comprehensive FAQ!

1. How do you shift?

A combination of sats (here's a post about sats) and intention, plus occasionally vaunting if I'm in the mood. For vaunting, I just imagine myself talking to a person from my DR and live knowing that I will wake up there.

2. How do you leave your DR?

I always shift back to my WR first after shifting to a DR! I knock on a mirror three times while saying “waiting room” and that instantly shifts me to my WR. To shift back here from my WR, I’ll either do the same thing with the knocks but say “home reality”, intend to wake up here, or use one of the shifting doors (I have a room in the house with doors that all connect to a different reality)!

3. How long do you stay in your DR?

It depends! I don't have a strict schedule for how long I'm there. Sometimes I'm in a DR for years, sometimes it's a few hours.

4. How did you get into the void?

Same way I shift! Sats and intention + some affirming! I went to sleep using those, woke up a little later, and then affirmed that I was in the void. Currently, I've only been there once and I used it to shift to my waiting room. Yes, I do plan on going there again. No, I don't know when.

5. Was your DR animated or realistic?

All of my DRs that are animated here were realistic. So, Winx, Atla, etc were all realistic. The only ones that aren't fully realistic are my Monster High DR and my Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse DR! The MH looks like the 3D movies so it wasn't weird. It kind of just looked like a glossy version of real life. Our body proportions were also realistic so we didn't have giant heads.

6. Can I DM you?

I'm sorry but I don't like talking through DMs if I don't know you! Please send me an ask off anon so I can answer you privately (and make sure to tell me that you want me to answer privately)!

7. What happens to my body when I shift?

Please read this post!

8. Why haven't you answered my ask?

I have a life! aldjghjldgh no but seriously, as a loa and shifting blog, I get a lot of asks. And since I often like to explain things more and give longer answers, it can take me a while to get through them. Unless your ask was rude/too personal/has been asked a hundred times already, I do plan on answering it eventually. Just give me some time!

9. What's your main blog?

I'd prefer not to give it away however, I don't mind giving it to mutuals! But if we aren't mutuals, please don't ask.

10. Where have you shifted to?

Here's a masterlist!

11. What have you manifested?

Please go to this post, you'll see the list under the pink divider! I'm also in the process of making an updated list!

12. What do you think happens when someone dies?

Personally, I believe that whatever they assume/want to happen will happen. So if they believe in an afterlife, they'll experience an afterlife. If they believe in reincarnation, they'll be reincarnated. And so on and so forth. This, to me, works well with knowledge of the law and encompasses all beliefs!

Let me know if you think I should add something! I'll update if I notice more questions about the same thing!
