HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE??

So, all European (EU) friends:

(If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
From this Tumblr post <- obviously the internet won't DISAPPEAR. However, it could be the very slow start...)

More info:

Why You Need to act NOW! To save the internet.

I hate 2018. There's never a 'Surely it's not that bad' option. :( I mean, maybe everything will be fine, but WHAT IF?

And they say basically the same as the links above: Contact your MEP! Make your voice heard!

(endless internal screaming)

I haven't got time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Fuck this. Fuck my life. Fuck everything.

I don't even know if this will affect Deviantart, but I'm sharing it there too. I've got one hundred watchers, goddammit. Do we know if it will? Livejournal? (Yes, I'm a worst case scenario kind of person).

On a happier note, I've sent you the thing, I hope it was the right email.

(is even more anxious than usual, which is saying something)

Well, I'm still gonnna copy-paste and download all the things, or at least try to, just in case. Those I don't already have, that is. Fortune favours the prepared.

Yep, that's the one. I've probably gotten the spam treatment again. It's "Êl síla erin lû e-govaned vîn!", a Sindarin greeting. Because when you're as pretentious as I am, you either go big, or you go home.

Well, damn.

It says you didn't get it, because your email system/service/whatever does not accept connections with mine...? I use Outlook (hotmail). And that your administrator may be able to correct this.

But the fault is most probably at my end. There *is* something wrong, but it just looks like a bunch of complicated crap, I understand nothing. So I'm just going to ignore it for noe.

Fortunately, I have another email. I'll try that one.
