People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

If I had a nickel for every time there was a ship where two immortal characters (one grumpy and pessimistic and the other optimistic and in love with humanity) made a deal with each other, allowing them to meet throughout history, falling more and more in love with each other as time and normal human life passes them by, prompting a montage of their meetings (in the middle of the series) culminating in a borderline love confession, I’d have two nickels
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that Neil Gaiman did it twice

Oh, apologies! Another question on the fic - just resting now after wisdom tooth surgery, woops - is "aces" Peter's slang or Hobie's? I swore Peter used it first, but obviously they're picking up eachothers slang now (vv cute btw).
don’t apologize!! i appreciate the interest so much!!
you’re right, “aces” is noir’s slang. the only time hobie says it is to reaffirm parker about the mosh pit—otherwise, he always uses “ace.” i just like that they have compatible but not identical slang. except also yes they would absolutely mirror each other’s slang over time omg
for you, a lil drawing of them arguing abt it <3
