You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report.
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.
If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.

Some Spades Slick fanart. He is honestly one of my favorite characters!
You know. I was thinking of something this morning at 2 am when I probably should’ve been slëeping..
Because at the end of the day it’s not about the ships or the fanfictions or the fanart or the cosplays.
It’s about family. It’s about a group of individuals coming together. No matter what they look like. No matter how they act. No matter what culture they’re from. No matter what orientation or skin color or sexuality or gender preference.
It’s about the cons. It’s about the friendship. It’s about supporting the actors of the show or movie or the authors of the boøks or the bands or YouTubers. It’s about the løve we share for each other. It’s about finding a place where you feel you fit in. It’s about helping others fit in. It’s about joy. It’s about what you accomplish together. If it’s a band, it’s about the musïc. It’s about standing up for one another. It’s about learning to stand up for yourself. It’s about being strong. It’s about finding strength within yourself and within other people. It’s about not giving a damn.
Yes. The fanfictions and the fanart and the ships, they’re cøøl and all.
It’s about us…
And that’s amazing.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to not be involved with fandoms and boy do I feel sorry for those who don’t know the joys of staying up all night reading fanfics
I honestly feel you Dark…

Father: Wait, so he already has a crush on the guy with the long hair?
Sister: He has a crush on the girl
Father: But they're gay
Me: THANK YOU!
I really love how Bryan Dechart got so much attention. He deserves all the love he gets and even more than that. He’s such a nice, gentle and beautiful human being. The love of the fans towards Bryan is probably my favorite thing in the world right now. You go, son.
Remember when you went to mspaint for the first time? And seeing a herp a derp kid? Well i remember that. The day started a new weird chapter in my life. It was awesome! So many funny moments and all was great!.... Until hussie ripped my heart out threw it on the ground of despair and ran it over with the truck of feels. So lets remember it as a funny sad awesome thing. So I tip my hat to you andrew hussie.
Happy 4/13 everyone!
