Bookbinding update!

I totally forgot to post this almost 3 weeks ago, whoops. Anyway find below the finished books of @justcha-s and my @svsssbigbang fic!

Since we both have our own copy, I thought taking polaroids putting the others copy into focus would be nice, that way they're not completely split up ❤️

The copy with the blue flowers inside went to Just, the copy with the gold went to me :3

Hey ao3 users.

If somebody deleted their ao3 account and their works? You do not repost them to ao3 for "archiving".

Especially when that person has explicitly stated that they wanted their works gone along with their account.

This is a breach of the TOS:

II.D. Copyright Infringement

Reproductions of large excerpts of copyrighted works are not allowed without the consent of the copyright owner. This includes stories, artwork, songs, poems, transcripts, and other copyrighted material. Crediting the original creator does not give you the right to upload, podfic, or translate someone else's work without permission, regardless of whether the source is a fanwork or a professionally published work.

(AO3 TOS II.D., 24.10.2025)

Do not do this. It is disrespectful to the writer and their wishes and directly against the terms of service of ao3.

"But i just want to archive their works!"

Don't. If you have access to them because you downloaded them? Great. Keep it. Don't put it back online. They wanted them gone from the archive for a reason. Don't be a dick.

AND DON'T GO AROUND SAYING YOU DON'T CONDONE THE CONTENT YOU'RE CLAIMING TO ARCHIVE AND THAT ITS FUCKED UP!!!

Like. What even?

(that last bit is aimed directly at the person I just reported, everyone else ignore it pls)

Not me hyperventilating and crying in bed at 2am bc my ovarial pain is back and sitting up helped and I flashed back so hard to last year and idk what to do. I should call my parents but its 2am.i should try to reach a friend for support but its 2am. I am currently terrified of what this mean. Maybe its nothing. I pray to the gods i don't believe in that its nothing. But i missed my 6 months checkup back in july and haven't made an appointment out of fear and it would be just my fucking luck with busiest time of the work year coming up in a week as well. I'm freaking the fuck out.

Ok scent memory is wild and i didn't think i could be triggered by a lingering smell that is my own fault anyway but apparently i was wrong.

[damiemontclair]

So apparently tumblr keeps going down and people are worried it'll be gone for good soon?

So. I'm DamieMontclair on twitter/x and bluesky and I will of course remain on ao3 under DamieMontclair as well. My gmail is also damiemontclair.

I'm damienmontclair on insta. Pls note the n. The insta acc is inactive and wasn't used for writing but that may change if tumblr really disappears. In which case I will also change its name to damiemontclair.

Anyway. Point is. I should be find-able!

Discords recent updates really are the definition of enshittyfication.

on repeat tag game!

Rules: shuffle your on repeat playlist and add the first ten songs, then tag ten people.

Tagged by: @crispyjenkins

I was gonna say "what if I don't have 10 songs in my loop playlist" but then I remembered unmodded spotify exists and it has all those playlists it makes on its own. I dread opening it but here we go I suppose!

铃芽之旅 - Zhou Shen

Endless Sailing - 英文版伴奏 - Zhou Shen

Ride or Die - Jeff Satur

Everybody Knows - Sigrid

清心音·亂魄抄 - Lin Hai

DYING WISH - 畠中 祐

Spider's Web - Katie Melua

Build It Up - Franz Ferdinand

Love Is Lonely - NMIXX

Elsa's Song - The Amazing Devil

Don't try to make sense of these guys, the only ones that share a playlist are the two Zhou Shen ones, idek why half the stuff on this repeat playlist is on there (probably because I listened to them so much at some point I can't replace them) but ah well. Them's the rules so.

I am tagging... @ironhoshi @tyusening @shayberri789 @screamingyoda @marta-my-dear @blueteaparty @corvidscreams @kittenlzlz @catsnkooks @madluluwriting is that 10? I think thats 10. if it isn't then eh *shrugs*

No pressure, obviously! ♥
