Regarding Fandom Trees & AMTs

Tag wrangling is, on the whole, a fluid process. It's meant to be, because the way language is used and the way tags are used change over time. We're the first to admit that we don’t always get it right, and that we do sometimes make mistakes despite our best intentions. This is why wrangling decisions are not set in stone and are reevaluated periodically as circumstances change or as new information becomes available. 

In light of the impact that removing the Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms metatag has had, we have put that metatag back in place. 

When it comes to fandom metatags and fandom trees, there is no 'one size fits all' approach that works for all fandoms. Consequently, we have placed a hold on all structural changes to fandom metatags, All Media Types fandoms (commonly called AMTs), and fandom trees while wranglers discuss the need for additional guidelines and adjustments to our approach regarding these tags going forward. 

This hold will remain in place until tag wranglers have had ample time to fully reevaluate our fandom wrangling guidelines with the aim of making it easier for Archive users to find the content they’re looking for and filter out the content they aren’t. This guideline reevaluation process is something we are actively working on, but it will likely take some time to complete. We will update again once these fandom guideline discussions have come to a close.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I need to add this is the 5th time this has happened to me over 2 accounts. Like what. Why.

Very lovely, Tumblr has shadowbanned this account. Sorry that I cannot reply to anyone sending me nice things right now.

It only took 2 days to fix instead of the 1 and half months it took last time 🥳

genuinely going insane

Uh- are you aware of the meaning of proship?

Proship has never meant anything except a combination of three ideas:

Ship and let ship (your ships don't harm me and vice-versa) and YKINMK (your kink is not my kink, and that's okay; my kink stories don't harm you and vice-versa)

Harassment over fiction is not acceptable

Censorship of fiction is not acceptable either

Any other definitions are made by antis, not proshippers, and are an attempt at revisionism to justify harassment based on false claims.

Flight Rising [And Not Flight Rising] Commissions!

Finished Work Examples ^^^ All animated comms come with still versions

My Flight Rising account with my art shop forum post can be found in my Tumblr bio!

More details copy-pasted from there are below the cut.

Open to doing commissions outside of FR dragons. Good with most animals (canines, felines, equines, etc). The pricing will be discussed and will follow the above guides as close as possible.

Open to doing simple backgrounds that may increase cost, but I don't currently have art examples for it.

‘Oh, Niki Lauda? He’s just some little Austrian fellow with a creepy-crawly insect dæmon. If you’ve ever seen the man, I think you’d agree it’s quite the fitting form.’

Niki could say a lot in response to that quote now fed back to him; that James’ own dæmon is some puffed up, squawking lorikeet whose colours are clearly compensatory. ‘Centipedes are myriapods,’ is what he instead responds with, 'which are not considered part of the insect class.’

It’s true; they’re not. Nevertheless, it seems to win him no favours.

Finally, the vintage Niki Lauda and James Hunt F1 dæmon au, which is certainly not niche at all. I don’t know how to tag this post, but I do know RatHunt is the best ship name ever created.

"Bit the Hand That Fed You"

Illustration for me and @wi55iams' F1 dæmon AU.

A very large web-weave project under the 'read more' for context to a man and his fictional wolf.

And that's all, folks!

gay horse wrestling sequence

there would be a sixth pic where the loser finally lies down but by the time i got there i was so tired i was just so tired

social hierarchy is maintained without violence in most cases, and after the circling stage one of them backs off, knowing they'd lose a fight. but backing off means ceding your ground & movement path to the victor. it is a type of dyadic dominance so isn't relevant in contexts where two stallions aren't likely to ever meet again or associate with one another for more than a few minutes. a quick appraisal is usually enough to establish who walks freely and who moves out of the other person's way, but in the cases where neither party will back down, they're going to fight and make it everyone else's problem. there have been several documented cases of fights breaking out indoors and someone being knocked out by getting too carried away and smashing their head into the ceiling

it's extremely rare for this to result in life-threatening injuries but it does happen; a few deaths a year is the norm. sometimes a guy just doesn't know when to call it quits, or sometimes a stray kick hits the wrong place. the victor of a fight doesn't get a blanket dominant status - this is only in the context of the two participants of that particular fight

everything he touches turns to black
