One of my absolute favorite tropes is “We have taken the one you love most!” “Oh, have you? Good fukken luck lmao” *distant screams of kidnappers as loved one escapes* or the flipside: “We’ve kidnapped you!” “You are in so much trouble. You are in so much fucking trouble. You are in the most trouble ever, oh my god.” *DOOR EXPLODES INWARDS AS LOVED ONE ARRIVES* and the alternate: *vehicle pulls up, door opens, person is shoved out, door slams, vehicle screeches away* “Did you get kidnapped??” “For a minute yeah”

So how did Estinien like that treatise, Urianger?

You can take the apartheid out of South Africa but you can never take it out of a white South African

"we need weirder queers" you guys couldnt even handle asexual people in 2016 (and probably still cant handle them)

Well you see minors under 25 years old should not be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery because what if they go to the clinic but instead of giving them a normal penis the nurses mess up and give them the evil penis. That's irreversible

imagine being an animal without a tail i'd be livid

that fucking royal feast at winterfell haunts me. did they toast to the royal house baratheon? did robert shout out his war stories about taking down a once great dynasty? did ned watch jon snow cheers to the death of his own father? raise a glass to the death of his future, the loss of his identity? would he even notice if he had?

This gif is outrageous

If you pay someone else to make a fanbinding, or make fanbindings for others, without permission, it is not a single fan having a copy of that fic, it is redistributing that fic. Period. You can justify being an asshole to a writer however you want, but if more than one party is involved, it's not just the equivalent of a fan printing out a fic and shoving it in a binder anymore, it's the equivalent of posting it somewhere else. Because you could literally repost someone else's fic and only have one person view it, views aren't the issue, it's removing it from the format and location the writer explicitly put it in.

"Oh, their name is still on it!" And if they change their user/penname do you update it? Is the url to it included? What happens if the url changes? Did you include all their notes? All their tags? Is it formatted in exactly the same way it was online? If it's a deleted fic do you just keep it to yourself and never share that file, never get it bound, because the writer doesn't want it around anymore?

If you pay someone for fanbinding without a writer's permission, when you obviously can't pay the actual writer of that fic you like enough to pay a third party for, you are letting someone else make money off of that writer's free labor.

You're saying the writer is not worthy of your respect by not getting permission or honoring a refusal and that you don't give a fuck that they'd be the ones that would ultimately get in trouble if someone decided to get a lawyer involved nor do you care about all the other people who would no longer be able to read that fic if it gets taken down to protect the writer or their careers.

This whole fanbinding thing is wild. Imagine taking something you know someone put a ton of work into and CAN'T get paid for and giving money to someone who happened to bind it/would bind it, neither of you even bothering to get permission. Binding for yourself is a grey area, doing it for someone else is no different than reposting a fic without permission. God, readers can be such unrelenting, entitled assholes.
