OFMD is not getting a season three, confirmed by David Jenkins on Instagram.

I respect the mourning that my friends are doing right now. I personally am not really that disappointed, though. Partially because it's what I expected.

I've been pretty open about my disappointment with the second half of the season, and unfortunately engagement with the show dropped like a rock after the finale aired. While the fandom has been at each other's throats, most normies I talk to felt that the finale was mid. Which is not a great spot to be in for renewal.

Unfortunately, sometimes there's a consequence to poor follow through with your narrative themes. The second half of the season was a shitshow. While I think they could have turned it around, it was a very narrow shot in the first place—and corpos don't want narrow shots, they want easy wins.

It's up to us, now. It's up to us to create stories that pick up where the corpos "ended" it. OFMD, after all, doesn't belong to them, not really.

It belongs to us, now more than ever.

I know I’m not a big fan of RWBY anymore, but this just fills me with such rage.

Warner Brothers really doesn’t deserve the right to claim any of the RWBY cast as their characters, especially not Penny. They didn’t make them, they didn’t design them—they just own them because they bought RoosterTeeth. That’s like if I went to McDonalds and bought a Big Mac and then posted about the best burger I’d ever made, because buying something is just the same as making and creating, right?!

#I just have some thoughts about ownership of art and massive corporations that have no heart no feeling. #they throw money at artists to make them something beautiful and then claim it for themselves as if they did anything. #no wonder they want to replace them with ai. no wonder they want them to starve to death otherwise. #to the corporations they’re just flesh robots that cost food shelter and money to maintain to make art. the ai just needs money

#advertisements everywhere against my will? check #corporate ownership of employee’s lives including their body parts and organs? check #zero time off from work meaning your entire life is spent on the clock for little to no extra pay? check #just…the Capitalism…is a whole Experience #also I love Parvati #the outer worlds

what i say out loud: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

what i mean: do you think the thousands of din djarin/reader fics will be edited to acknowledge his canon given name is 'djarin' and it's his family name that's 'din', as canonized in the season 3 finale where grogu is adopted and becomes din grogu, or is Y/N just going to continue calling him din forever

#the mandalorian #the mandalorian spoilers #this is the funniest thing in the world btw. good for them. #i mean i'm all for individuals feeling emotional/artistic ownership of corporate intellectual property #but once in a while it is good and proper to be reminded that you are not in fact the character's creators #keeps the ego from growing unchecked and developing insane and unlikely headcanons tbh.

On this edition of Historical things I'm salty about: The Titanic was part of a set of Three sister ships (Olympic, Titanic, and Britainnic). Of the three, two of them sank (Titanic in 1912 and Britainnic in 1918). Olympic survived and continued service until it was decommissioned in the 1930's because it was no longer turning a profit.

Did they convert it into a floating muesum to the two sister ships? No! The ship was stripped apart and parts were sold off and scattered across the world.

All because it didn't make money anymore.

And I'm mad that happened.

#lbd speaks #history #historical preservation #is important to me #well preservation that respects the deceased at least #i don't like how corporations have fought over ownership of and looted the wreck of the titanic #taking personal belongings of passengers

Ugggh it was free but I had to download an adobe program just so I could download the book I legally paid for from google (also ugh) play just so I could put it on the ancient ass e-reader that'll get here soon. There's got to be an easier way to download the shit you've legally paid for without having to deal with proprietary bullshit, right? On top of all that, amazon (uggggggh) changed their DCRM this very year to something Calibre hasn't been able to crack, so all the books I legally bought from kindle can't be put on the e-reader at all, keeping me reliant on the app on my phone.

Kobo was created by Indigo Books but is now owned by Rakuten, so the Indigo company doesn't get anything if I buy e-books from kobo, right? I wanna say kobo and Barnes and noble/nook don't have bullshit like this for the books themselves, just their proprietary e-readers only allowing books from their services onto the devices themselves, which is why I opted not to get a kobo or nook in the first place

Anyway I hate this crap lol. Someone once stated that when you purchase an e-book (or any media, really) these days you don't own the book, you just rented out the privilege to read it, and that privilege can be revoked at any time. It's so fucking dumb. I don't hate technology I just hate how it evolved into such bullshit. It didn't have to be like this

#ebook #e book #the purchase of an ancient wifi-less e-reader was less a statement on cutting the streaming cord like I've been doing #because i genuinely would have liked the ability to use apps like libby and hoopla on it and hell put kindle and Google play on #it for convenience #but getting an e-ink e-reader was paramount for my eye strain and insomnia so i wouldn't be staring at a bluelight screen reading at night #especially since I'm getting back into reading Iron Widow which i bought on google play cause i was to broke to afford the physical book #my insomnia is still kicking my ass so I'm trying to reduce screentime even in the day #the tragedy is that smartphones are seemingly perfect because you can have all this technology in one device... #... at the cost of eye strain disrupted sleep and a lack of privacy and ownership over the media you bought #society if smartphones developed from e-ink technology and without corporate and government spyware: 🌈 #also the ancient e-reader is a Sony pocket reader TRS-300 for the record #it was ten dollars. twenty with shipping. even a used and a few years old modern reader like an onyx boox or meebook was hundreds of dollars #so like

i honestly kinda feel bad for gaiaonline as a website lmao. back in the late 2000s it was Booming. the server lobbies for some of the online stuff were Constantly packed- i think there were like. 2 million users at one point???- & 100k gold used to be a lot of money. now it's pocket change at best & there's an average of 3k people online

#did a lil bit of reading and of course as with anything. corporations are to blame for the downfall of something that was beautiful lmao. #apparently there was like. a couple ownership trades or w/e. they got bought out in the 2010s ig? and were bought back in 2016 #the corps fucked with inflation and now the cheapest you can sell something for is Ten Million coins. that used to be a LOT of money. #the inflation thing is so fucking stupid. thinking about it makes me angry lmao #neopets has inflation too!!!!!! and it's not even 1/8th as bad!!!!!!!!! #food is a little more expensive than i remember. but games also give you a LOT more np than i remember too. #gaiaonline needs to take notes from neopets LOL #uninstalled waterfox by mistake now i gotta find it again </3 #been using the ancient vers of waterfox that gaia recommended for their games. its DISGUSTINGLY laggy sometimes but it gets the job done. #orignaletti

there's something about going through mild pain to make your body look the way you want it to that feels so fucking good. every time I stretch my ears or get a wax or sit through a tattoo or hiss through a piercing I feel so rawly close to myself. catharsis within the knowledge that I'm building a temple I guess

#thats not the right phrasing ill edit it later #but waxing is the best example bc it has to be done regularly and its like why did i do this x5 at first #and then its over and im like YES i have a BODY im making it MINE and I FUCKING EXIST #going up a gauge size is a close second bc one of my ears is a JACKASS and it hurts every time but every time it's so delectable like #the discomfort of this experience means i am taking ownership of my flesh golem!! #i have a corporeal form and i exist i exist i exist

Fanfiction as an Inalienable Spiritual Right

The thing about mythology is that the idea of a universal canon is pretty recent, and largely a product of monotheistic theocracy.

Traditionally, pantheons built over time, shifted, borrowed from each other. Gods were adopted or dropped. Each local cult had its own accepted canon, and that canon would get adjusted as bards and poets travelled and added their own new stories. The parts that were useful or instructive were adopted over time.

If this sounds a bit like fandom, that's because it is exactly fandom. Those stories that mean the most to us instruct our worldview, and as a group we then grow the established canon to address those parts of life that are most important to us. Over time, some of it gets turned to canon, sometimes conflicting canon between different sects. Our culture does not, typically, consider these characters gods - but from a psycho-spiritual perspective they are indistinguishable. They are archetypes by which we illustrate our beliefs, desires, and lives. They are how we organize our thoughts and values.

Copyright/Ownership of a character is a relatively new concept, and corporate ownership in particular is an abomination. Once a story is released to from the author's mind, once it's in the public consciousness, it is natural for us to mythologize it. And it is unnatural to say that any shared mythology is invalid, or even unlawful because some organization thinks it owns the rights. IT DOES NOT.

the only thing capitalism was remotely on point with was the idea that people ought to be compensated for their labour, and they couldn’t even get that right

#anti capitalism #socialism #'compensate people for their labour' is a sound principle in theory #but then capitalism tricks you into thinking you are being /properly/ compensated for your labour #it convinces you that your labour is cheap #and that the ownership of private property equates to labour #your labour is not worth the minimum wage #it is worth far more but the owner of the business takes wages that are rightfully yours #it is exploitation and dishonesty it their most basic ugly forms #more than that it is theft #you'd think that a society so concerned with who owns what would be more concerned with wage theft #but capitalism by design creates a rigid class system that only benefits the upper classes #and they trick the lower classes into participating by perpetuating the idea of the 'american dream' and the false promise of wealth #if you just work long enough #hard enough #climb the corporate #you too will be rewarded! #but the system is fundamentally opposed to that because in order to survive capitalism has to have an exploitable lower class #whatever im not having coherent thoughts

I had gotten 6 sovereign citizens all year until today where I'm pushing 4 and still have four hours of work left. I just *know* some Facebook zoom conference or something stupid happened.

what amazes me is how every single one of these people thinks they know the secret to law immunity but they all have completely different terms they use.

no there is no "master birth certificate".

the foot print version is an old commemorative certified from hospitals that isn't a legal document.

apostille is for using docs overseas not a secret "make the state give you your personhood".

there is no federal level apostille that's why you can't find info on who to call.

your birth certificate is not worth any money that's why they're cheap as hell in Florida and you can request 100 copies if you want.

please stop calling me. go buy some sound bath crystals or something instead

#its always either a) angry men b) older folks or c) new age type white women that fall for this #think for one second man like if the us government owned you as a slave worth millions #why would they allow you to just request freedom and give it to you like thats not how corporate ownership works lmao #again fuck sovereign citizens yallre annoying at best dangerous idiots at worst
