Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

What about the queen who lives in the tower with her child so she wouldn’t grow up hidden away alone for however many years? Love that one too

elidyce

@incognitoprompts Here’s the queen with three cursed children story for you.

Also, here’s the wizard who lets people choose how they will die, in ‘The Martyrdom Of St Grainne’.

(attempts to look modest)

Related to The God of Arepo, there’s the old altar in a playground one. I’ll see if I can find a link.

elidyce

@wrenb77 That is, I believe, ‘The Forgotten God

The sequel is ‘The Prophet’s God

the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not

you also have to provide a henchmans disdainful scowl at whoever the driver is flipping off in the target parking lot

HBO Max: so basically we're going to erase most of our shows as a tax dodge in a week and you can't stop us

A Youtuber who makes two hour long & strangely ominous video essays about Lost Media: it'll all be on Archive dot org by the end of the week you son of a bitch. Also the forbidden original pilot of Caillou and the French dub of the long sought after August 27th, 2001 Spongebob bumpers

lizardsfromspace

Lost Media Indiana Jones swiping the last copy of Batgirl from the CEO of Discovery and shouting "it BELONGS on Archive dot org and sketchy torrent sites!"

tempestdash

This is all fine from a consumer perspective but it utterly screws creators.

radiofreederry

Did you know that if a company writes off your show or movie, you don't get residuals from it anymore?

cursed--alien

If I were a creator, I'd rather my stuff be pirated than become lost media and cease to exist entirely. Just throwing that out there.

renthony

On Twitter after the HBO Max shitshow, showrunners were literally begging archivists to pirate their shows in order to preserve them. I don't have screenshots on hand, but Owen Dennis of Infinity Train and all the crew of Summer Camp Island come immediately to mind.

Like, at this point, the creators have already been screwed. The networks are hanging them out to dry. This isn't a "if you pirate it, it doesn't get renewed" situation, this is a "if you DON'T pirate it, it might become completely lost" situation.

It's like how the original 1931 Frankenstein movie had scenes cut from the completed film by censors under the Hays Code. The original film wasn't rediscovered until the 1980s, and then only because someone had stashed away an original copy somewhere.

Media piracy and media preservation are two sides of the same coin, and there's not really a universal code of ethics that can be applied. Sometimes piracy is a gray area. Sometimes it's vital.

Even Weird Al has had that™ experience with Tony Hawk

Tony Hawk IS Forrest Gump

foone

So I looked up why and how this happened, and it turns out Weird Al hired a company called Birdhouse Skateboards to provide some “skate/punk” extras for the video. Birdhouse Skateboards is a company started by Tony Hawk, so not only did Weird Al end up putting Tony Hawk in his video without realizing it, he actually hired Tony Hawk’s company without realizing it! And then Tony Hawk just decided to go along as one of the extras himself.

BTW, he’d already won like 40 contests already, some of them international skateboarding contests. So it’s not like Weird Al cast some unknown skateboarder who ended up becoming World Famous Skateboarder, he was already well known and was running his own Skateboarding company.

cookingwithroxy

Think of it this way. This wasn’t ‘Weird Al got Tony Hawk to be in his video’, this was ‘Tony Hawk found a way to be in a Weird Al Video.’

cryoverkiltmilk

The chance that Tony Hawk has infiltrated your location or piece of media is low

BUT NEVER ZERO.

Hey y'all. With the Writer's Guild of America on strike, you might be hearing a lot more about something called "residuals," which are payments that the writers get for the studios continuing to air their work on reruns and such. Already I'm seeing people trying to frame the union trying to bargain for better residuals as greedy and unreasonable, so I just wanted to give you guys a peek into my dad's full, 100% real residual payments for writing some of the most watched episodes of American late night television.

Yeah lol. If u hear anyone trying to frame the conversation around residuals as writers being greedy, please do me a favor and punch them straight in the face ❤️🙃🙃

neil-gaiman

The last time I saw any real money from residuals in film and TV was in 2008, when I got a substantial cheque from the WGA (who administer residuals and such) for my share as cowriter of the Beowulf film on DVD. And then DVDs were over and done and became a niche market.

These days residuals are... well, something you can take a friend to dinner with. Not something you could pay a monthly mortgage or the rent with.

(And I'm fine. My TV work over the last 5 years has been subsidised by my book and comics work.)

But I just got one even smaller than the one cent residuals...
