If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.
Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.
But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.
What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.
Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:
Hello, everyone! So I just saw a couple of posts going around in the fandom offering small commissions for donations made to protect immigrant children in the U.S. border due to things going to hell on that end. What can I say, I’m a sucker for community events! So here’s my contribution (I’ll be borrowing the model directly from @ancientouroboros, hope that’s okay!):
If you donate $5 to any of the charities listed here and show me a screenshot of the payment (feel free to retract your name if it makes you more comfortable!), I will draw a sketch or write a 200-word drabble of your subject of choice.
AND, since I gotta live up to my craftsman’s reputation, if you donate $10 or more, you’ll get an actual, physical Bill charm made of felt that’s exclusive to this charity event! It will be slightly different from my needle felted figures, and unfortunately I can’t provide you with a pic since I literally came up with the idea just now, but I will provide a quality and satisfaction guarantee. It’s a matter of honor. 😀
Please note that I’m still very much learning as an artist, but I’ll draw whatever my skills are sufficient for – let’s keep it sfw though (suggestive is okay, hit me up and we’ll discuss)! I’m more flexible with drabbles, so feel free to request smut if that is what your heart desires c: Unfortunately, I have a few personal restrictions as to what kind of content I can make, but those are a few and far between, so don’t hesitate to hit me up with whatever you have in mind! I’ll let you know if it’s something I can’t do, and we’ll figure out something else. -^^-
I hope somewhere in Pokemon canon its addressed about how there the line between human and pokemon can sometimes be thin, such as when it comes to ghost pokemon. And the implications of such.
