Not sure if I should move this community or just let it close. Thoughts?

Original announcement below.

Hey there everyone!

It's been a nice run, but all good things come to an end as they say.

This nice thing comes to an end on Jul 2nd, 2026 which is when the domain expires and I've decided to not renew it.

It's been a nice run and I'm grateful to all the active users of our small Fediverse home!


click here if you're interested in the reasonAs for the reason for this decision, it's because Lemmy and the Threadiverse in general didn't turn out into what I envisioned it would be.

For a hot minute it was honestly great but eventually all that remained was tankies propaganda and depressing news. And probably a few non-political communities that sadly don't really offset it for me.

I was pondering on keeping it running even if I don't really use it that much anymore, but then Hetzner announced a significant price change (and you can bet that Lemmy is an unoptimized resource hog) which is not the reason on its own, but the proverbial last straw.


So yeah, that's it I guess. I promised that if the instance ever goes down, I'll let everyone know with enough time and I believe I managed to do it.

I'll maintain the instance until it expires and I'll keep on moderating it of course but it's probably a good time to start looking for a new Threadiverse home.


Yet again, thank you very much to everyone who has been part of this instance! And to many of the friendly admins of other instances!

There is this little sentence in Peter Pan that always had me. Tinker Bell gets the help of some "street fairies" to help get rid of Wendy. There is no description of street fairies. There are no streets in Neverland.

#art #penandink #drawing Micron, A5

This scene typifies Tink's full homicidal rage against Wendy. She is going to deport her from Neverland. If she dies, she dies. Something very absent from the later Disney versions of Tink.

"A shorter adventure, and quite as exciting, was Tinker Bell's attempt, with the help of some street fairies, to have the sleeping Wendy conveyed on a great floating leaf to the mainland. Fortunately the leaf gave way and Wendy woke, thinking it was bath-time, and swam back." -- Peter Pan, 1911

inspired by old animated movies with how they made fairies and magic pop more with making the magic and wings more vibrant then the person and surroundings

The image itself says Grell and Falla but the inlay and all other sources appear to call it Grell and Fella.

Falla/Fella is the fairy here.

A bunny in fantasy hero attire, with a sword, is surprised by the sudden appearance of an ominous witch alligator, holding a crystal ball. The hero bunny also has a fairy buddy next to them

Article:

Sleigh’s career as an artist had one sole throughline: fairies. Some of his interest in Fairyland evidently stemmed from medical trauma. In the late 1890s, he developed an abscess in his inner ear. Doctors trepanned him, drilling a hole in his skull, and, ever after, he would see otherworldly things.


That site has lots of maps online:

When I created this, my wife told me people, herself included, don't know the Little Rabbit (or Bunny) Foo Foo song. I was sure she was wrong, but as usual, she was not. In the event that you are part of the majority, here are the lyrics: Little rabbit Foo Foo Hopping through the forest Scooping up the field mice And bopping them on the head Down came the Good Fairy, and she said "Little rabbit Foo Foo I don't want to see you Scooping up the field mice And bopping them on the head. I'll give you three chances, And if you don't stop, I'll turn you into a GOON!" And the next day... The song the repeats until the leader decides they have had enough.
