I know it's kind of old news now, but instead of continuing to consume media that's being put out by corporations too greedy to pay writers and give them decent working conditions, my advice?
Read Fanfiction
I know you've probably heard it before (tumblr veterans, I'm preaching to the choir), and maybe you haven't and don't care (all of the incoming reddit and twitter refugees, please keep an open mind, fanfic is fairly common here and not considered as "cringe" as other parts of the internet), but please hear me out. By reading fanfiction, you are doing two (2) important things while also getting your fix for your favorite characters/worlds/tropes.
First, you are essentially boycotting those awful, awful corporations that have driven writers to strike. Like the 07-08 writers strike made unscripted reality TV boom, the writers strike today has stirred up thoughts of using AI to get around hiring writers. In order to keep humans in creative control, we need to consume media made by humans*
Now, secondly, by reading fanfiction, you are supporting small artists and writers. Not only are you supporting the writers of the actual fanfictions, but you also might be supporting their beta reader or their cover artist.
Archive of Our Own (or AO3) is my go-to site. It's an archive (duh) that's non-profit, volunteer run, and the tagging system is nearly flawless, in my opinion. You can find nearly every fandom, every ship, and every trope. They also have an app. It's not as good, but it does offer some accessibility options.
There's plenty of other sites as well, but AO3 works the best for me. I recommend it highly, especially since there is an option to exclude certain tags, which is incredibly helpful in weeding out triggering fanfics.
I know some people have mixed feelings about the strike and how it affects their favorite media, but please remember why they're doing it. Writers deserve better, especially since they work so hard to continue creating your favorites. So, in these trying times, when you miss the world and characters that these writers were creating, turn to the other talented writers who have taken them up and are creating stories with them.
Read Fanfiction
*This isn't just fanfiction, of course, though that is probably the easiest way to do so, but also supporting fanartists, small novelists (idk if you've seen, but 7 Deadly Habits of the Modern Demon Summoner by @animentality is all over my dashboard and I couldn't be happier), smaller podcasts (I recommend DND actual play podcast for those of you who want your action fix), and generally watching indie and small production movies and shows.
TL;DR - don't continue to support corporations during the writers' strike, read fanfiction and support small artists and writers.
scented incense sticks to attract love, a positive boost in your mood, and creativity. The fragrance emits a lovely, smooth, and erotic smell of strawberries and cream. Why choose a fragrance for incense that smells so sweet? Think of how easier it is to catch more flies with honey than vinegar. The aroma symbolizes the attraction while the incense were also coated in Egyptian Geranium oil as a catalyst for the effect of attracting romance, happiness, and vibrant ingenuity with a cherry on top.

I had the privilege to make a new design for the upcoming Ahsoka Show!
This new design features both the former padawan Ahsoka Tano and the ever lovable mandalorian Sabine Wren! 💕
Not only does it contain some of our beloved Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars characters, but it also features the Starbird! The Starbird design is a mixture of the colors pink, orange, and purple (the same as Sabine Wren’s hair).🩷🧡💜
This design is available in both Youth and Adult sizes!

recently, the mass corporation Amazon is being sued by 17 U.S. states (ex. new york, wisconsin, maine, & deleware to name a few) because they believe Amazon is an online monopoly. NPR.org goes into more detail, saying the company is being accused of “suffocating rivals and raising costs…”. personally, i think it’s good for large companies to be sued for overcharging because it’s not fair to the buyers, or the people/companies trying to use Amazon as a way to make money.
Hi! I got super inspired by kandi and The Boys all at once so I decided I’d try my hand at a fusion of both! The charm on the fully blue bracelet and the Starlight ones have charms, the blue’s being “V” for “Vought” and the “Starlight” one being an “S”. I also made a Frankie Stein and Jem and the Holograms one. I think I’m going to make a Supernatural set and some miscellaneous ones.
(If anyone wants any custom made I have a Depop @/skeletalhorse67)
