not to be negative but some things really are unforgivable so can yall like stop insisting that we’re all gonna lead miserable and unfulfilled lives if we don’t forgive literally every single person whos ever wronged us
Forgiveness is not a requirement for healing because not everyone is sorry for the things they did to cause us pain.
He goes to sleep, dreaming of pepper. Like he promised.
He wakes up the next morning.
He wakes up.
He shouldn’t’ve woken up. He’s furious, for a moment, terrified for longer than that — he doesn’t want to be awake, he doesn’t want to suffocate, slowly, that horrible empty feeling in his lungs, he doesn’t—
He checks the air, in the ship.
0% oxygen, it blinks at him.
Tony tests it agian. And agian. And agian, breathing, conscious, for the whole time. He should be dead. The air ran out over four hours ago, when he was still asleep, he should be dead—
He’s not.
And suddenly, he remembers.
“Spare his life,” Strange said, and Thanos had agreed. The stones had glowed.
Tony had assumed that it was in anticipation of being made whole.
There is no oxygen, and he is alive. He is beginning to think that it was not only anticipation that made the stones glow.
2009 – GeoCities shuts down, taking old fannish websites
2010 – FFN forums deleted
2011 – Delicious destroyed by Yahoo’s incompetence
2012 – major FFN crackdown on porn
2014 – Quizilla shuts down
2015 – Journalfen’s servers become fully robust, deleting Fandom Wank
Didn’t quizilla have purges before finally shutting down? And I know basically every vidding home hot destroyed, repeatedly taking out the entire history of vidding online.
… they deleted Fandom Wank???
Well, not specifically. Journalfen failed completely and has never come back. FW was on Journalfen, so while you can see some entries on the Wayback machine, I think (?), the long comment threads aren’t archived.
2007 – Youtube starts using its “content ID” system to identify (and block) works that include copyrighted material in their database.
2009 – Greatestjournal shuts down, taking down fandom’s biggest collection of blog-style RPGs
2012 – Megaupload shut down by FBI; some (many?) fanvid archives lost
I thought there was also some kind of purge at Deviantart, but I don’t recall the details.
I’d like to remind folks that there was literally wank last month about why do we need the OTW.
Well, this would be why: we sincerely believed in the internet values of a decade or two ago, which involved owning our own servers if we wanted to see our projects remain stable, in the long term, online.
Worth mentioning: Yahoo purchased GeoCities, and was behind the decision to shut all those sites down.
Yahoo’s incompetence destroyed Delicious.
Yahoo owns Tumblr.
1356: 50% of monks.
People just… completely forget. I was there for all of the bans on fanfiction.net. You don’t know panic until you go to log in one morning and find out a bunch of your works have been deleted, gone forever, because some asshole arbitrarily decided that they wanted to ban something.
