Fanfic update: I’ve discovered that, instead of the projected 22-24k words, my next chapter is going to be more like 36k when it’s done 😅 Which on one hand is slightly terrifying, but on the other does explain why I felt so far behind schedule with it 😂 Anyway I hope my readers like long chapters!

Long story short: I’m an asylum seeker in France now. I don’t know how long this process will take, but for I still can’t officially work here. So I’m looking for any opportunity to earn money to be able to pay for rent and food. Please, read and share this post ❤️‍🩹 ko-fi.com/illustory

WE NEED HELP
Please, read and share this!
(text version of the pics above)
We are a group of queer artists, and we are in big trouble.
In April 2025, we immigrated to France, seeking a safe place to live and make art.
Our humanitarian visas expired a year ago.
Since then, we have been trying to get legal status in France.
To be able to work, open a bank account, get health insurance and just have some basic human rights.
We spent a whole year fighting for our lives against Strasbourg Prefecture and we lost.

All this time we couldn't properly work, so we were burning our savings.
In August, all three of us were denied a residence permit.
According to the Prefecture, the only option for us To stay legally in France is to become asylum seekers.
About a week ago, we sent out our applications for the asylum.
Now we are looking at another indefinite stretch of time, before we are summoned to Paris for interviews.
It might be two months, three months, half of a year or even more... no one knows for sure.

We had planned for a year without documents max, and now it's been a year and a half already.
No matter how hard we tried to stretch our savings, they have run out.
Currently, we don't have enough money to pay for rent and food in November.
It's hard for me to admit that, but we are in huge trouble, with all our hopes and plans ruined by the French bureaucracy.
We really need your help and every little bit matters, so I came up with some options for how you can support us.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

The final chapter of "Tales from the past" is now posted! I'm still having so many feelings about this fic & a hard time to let it end (it's just a new beginning, though) Thank you to everyone who decided to be part of their journey <3 archiveofourown.org/works/701209... #ofmd #ofmdfic #ofmdfanfic

Summary of the chapter, reading:
Izzy finds an old photo again, and Frenchie gets the check-in he needs to make sure they can move forward after the events of the party

Beginning of the chapter, reading:
By the third time Frenchie plays the bridge Izzy involuntarily finds himself humming along. It's a good melody and he already knows it'll get stuck in his head for the rest of the day, which, eventually, will annoy the fuck out of him. But for the moment he enjoys discovering all the little flourishes and variations Frenchie's clever fingers find, while his partner tries to figure out the shape and details of the song. Izzy sometimes suspects that he functions as some kind of guinea pig for this process – Frenchie's one man audience, to try out what arrangements work best.

“You like that, babe? Sounds right?”

I've finished writing the last chapter for "Tales from the past" today, and I'm so emotional about letting the boys go T°T So here's a last #WipWednesday snip from Izzy and Frenchie for everyone who cares <3 #ofmd #ofmdfanfic

Snip of the fic, reading:
“Frenchie?”
“Yeah, babe?”
Izzy lowers his gaze from the wall to the Polaroid he's still holding. To the new frame Frenchie has placed on the table. He knows he's asking so much more than just hanging up another picture, when he wonders, “Think we can find a place for them?”
He feels Frenchie's lips press a soft kiss to his forehead and it's answer enough. Fuck, how much he loves his man, making room for Izzy's past without any fuss, as if it's nothing. As if it isn't one of the potentially most problematic things Izzy's ever asked of him.
“Sure can, babe. If you want to.”
“I'd like to,” Izzy acknowledges. It's an oddly comforting thing to say. To voice his hope, like Frenchie encouraged him to do just a day ago. “We talked about... staying in contact. If we could try to be friends. If there's anything left to build upon after all this time.”
“Building something new, huh?” Frenchie hums, thoughtfully. “Guess that makes sense. You're not the same person you were back than, might be similar with The Crew, who knows. Just. Uh... Can I float something by you? Without you taking this as a condition or rejection of the idea?”

A.I. and corporate lingo are trapping language yn nonsense realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Good language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake, leave honest heartbreake footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Cherish them.

Following their replacement of the sign, pointing out Sir Hugh Walpole’s grave in St John’s, Keswick, the Hugh Walpole Society has produced a leaflet to be available in the church, recording the author’s many links with Keswick & the Lake District, & his love of his adopted home of Cumberland.

A pen-and-highlighter drawing of Ed Teach from OFMD. His face is half in shadow, half in sunlight, an effect created with blue and orange/pink highlighters, respectively. His beard and hair are drawn with black, silver, and bronze markers, and the glitter effect of the black marker is very clearly visible throughout.

Such an important statement. Many identified the impact this would have on the disabled community, or people with intersectional needs. It all negates dignity and massively overestimates available facilities. The suggestion trans+ people should “just use” accessible toilets harms both groups
