@villainousfriend :D!

I really enjoy finding posts, assigning them to characters, and finding a perfect image to put them on, like this. It's so much fun.

@xieliansbignaturals it’s a really fun kind of fanwork to see!

@villainousfriend *happy gasp* Fanwork?? 🥺

That makes me think - I wonder if this is the sort of thing that should go on AO3. Definitely not one at a time, though. But I kind of want to archive them somewhere.

I guess it's kind of like web-weaving.

@xieliansbignaturals it’s intertextuality!! And definitely fanwork!! ❤️

I guess it could go up on AO3? You’d have to host the images somewhere else, which is always a bit annoying with AO3, but I think it’s worth thinking about archiving. This kind of thing is so ephemeral, they get hard to find not just if a site goes down but also if it changes its url scheme or search engine policy or whatever.

@villainousfriend Thank you so much.  It means a lot to hear that. There is genuine creative work that goes into these, but I guess I hadn't really thought about it. It's "just a meme," and I didn't write the text posts.

Yeah, ugh. And I don't tag these things consistently on either Tumblr or here, so there's no easy way to find all of them even while the sites *are* up.

It looks like Squidge Images is back up. I could use that!

@xieliansbignaturals oh nice! I don’t know Squidge Images specifically, but I know Squidgeworld has been around a long time in fandom. 😄
@villainousfriend I've heard it's a good place to host fandom-related images!
