I Haven't Done This Yet, But I Know I Should. I Like Anyone Being Able To Read My Stuff. I Write Not

I haven't done this yet, but I know I should. I like anyone being able to read my stuff. I write not only for my enjoyment, but the enjoyment of others. Having people see it is kind of the point. Yes, I know what might happen, but I haven't had the heart to make any of my stuff on ao3 only for those registered.

ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.

AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]

This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.

You can also get it on a Roku! Which I think is super neat! I have prime video, which is ad free, so I tend to watch the first three seasons on there, but during my rewatches of S4 and the following special, I turn to HappyKids. The ads are never long. It's also how I watched S3 when prime video was out for my blood.

If you haven't watched the special yet, I totally recommend heading over to HappyKids and binging it immediately.

Also, as a sidenote, when first watching S4, the ads were so similar to those ads you got on PBS kids, Qubo, and other such tv channels I was hit with sudden nostalgia.

to be honest the fact that the HappyKids app is completely free and yet it's still a legal way to watch and support Monkie Kid is absolutely wild, the chances of shows getting that kind of thing are so astronomically low that the only other example of it I know of are companies putting episode of their show free to watch on youtube.

If you're in a country where you can download the HappyKids app, do it, and watch Monkie Kid, especially the new special on it (when it comes out). Do it as many times as you can, in fact. Act like it's the only way we'll get the rest of the story (because, with so many shows getting cancelled or screwed over lately, it very well might be).

Go wild.

YOOOOOOOO WE GOT A CROSSOVER COMIC (a poorly made one—) BUT A CROSSOVER COMIC NONETHELESS!!

DreamTale x Monkie Kid Crossover where Nightmare decides to try and target other multiverses :P

Free Day! - Legs

"Why did I agree to this?"

"Because it's Kelp's birthday?" Dream suggested as he got a feel for the new appendages he now donned. Nightmare was still in the water, his tentacles wriggling in agitation. "C'mon Nighty,"

"No." He growled. Dream glared and scooped his brother out of the water. The two teetered dangerously until the leviathan-turned-landwalker regained his balance and started to walk away from the ocean. "DREAM!!" Nightmare cried out, more out of shock and fear than anything else.

"We're going to see Kelp for his birthday and that's final." Nightmare curled his tentacles around himself, hiding his form.

"People are gonna see me," The octopus whined.

"Best start using your legs then," Dream shot back. Nightmare growled before allowing his tentacles to melt away giving way to an unsteady pair of legs. Dream smiled and set his brother down. Nightmare, already in a skirt Dream insisted on him wearing, clung to his brother as the fabric brushed against bones that hadn't been there. His legs were shaky and far too unused for someone who could do this at any time. "Lets get going!" Dream chirped as he dragged his stumbling brother to the house he knew to be Kelp's.

"Let me learn to walk, Dream." Nightmare said, digging his heels in the sand in a fruitless endeavor. Dream only continued to drag his brother along.

"No, because you're going to take all day just because you can," The grumpy leviathan admitted to nothing. Dream knocked on the door with a firm hand three times and stood back, waiting for Kelp to answer. The fisherman didn't take long and opened the door only moments later.

Now, on this very day, Kelp had invited Sans and his brother Papyrus to talk about a long fishing trip he was planning on taking. There was much talk about supplies and how Papyrus would fair on his own unless he wanted to join. It was normal. As was the knock on the door. Kelp was accustomed to helping people save the local marine life, so it wasn't uncommon for him to get people at his door at any time of day or night. But he had been greeted with a very unexpected sight.

"Dream?! Nightmare? How did you guys-" There was the sound of breaking glass causing all three to look into the house. Sans was standing with a confuddled expression.

"Hi kids?" The older fisherman offered a small wave. Dream promptly dropped Nightmare. The octopus fell into a boneless lump, not bothering to try and pull himself onto unstable, flimsy legs. He propped himself up on his arms and stared dumbfounded at the other leviathan in front of him and his brother.

"Sans! Where have you been?" Dream managed to get out. Kelp took it upon himself to help Nightmare into a chair whilst Sans floundered for a response.

"Uh- um... Just... around?"

"He's been here for at least 20 years," Kelp answered in an attempt to help. Nightmare hadn't released the fisherman yet, not trusting the wobbly stool Kelp wanted to place him on.

"We've been looking for you!" Dream exclaimed. "I have to tell the others and-" Dream was scooped up by a lanky skeleton and carried into Kelp's house. The door was kicked closed and Dream was set on the floor.

"We'd prefer it if you didn't," Papyrus said, brushing bits of shattered glass off his clothing. "Sorry about your window Kelp, I was hoping Sans would follow me and we could avoid the kids," The ray admitted sheepishly.

"It's fine Paps," Kelp assured.

"So, no telling Reaps and the others?" Dream asked.

"NO!" Sans and Papyrus shouted in unison. The goldfish flinched back.

"Geez, okay, okay." Nightmare had returned to his many-limbed form and taken to clinging to Kelp who was still trying to remove the octopus from his person. He pulled Dream over and clambered on top of his twin.

"Why did you even leave?" Nightmare asked from his new perch.

"Thought you kids would stop fighting," Sans said with a shrug.

"It did work," Dream acknowledged.

"Papy thought it wouldn't," Papyrus glared at his brother.

"I thought no such thing! I said that it would work, but it would still be a bad idea!"

"Hey, why'd you guys come over?" Kelp turned his attention to the twins, opting to ignore the bickering brothers in front of him. As well as the broken window and glass covering his floor.

"Oh. To wish you happy birthday!" Dream chirped.

"That's nice," Kelp replied, slumping against the wall to fight his oncoming headache.

It's not even like it's hard to watch it though. Back before S3 was out, I watched the first special and season on prime video, 'cause I have that. But you had to pay to watch the second season. Not anymore, but it was off limits until well after S3. And Revenge of the Spider Queen wasn't even on there. So I ended up watching it on a google drive folder I found on reddit.

It was a similar situation with S3 and the following special.

But S4? Oh, oh. I had to force myself to stay off of social media just to not get spoilers because I like watching the dub. So I knew it was out, and was also very excited when it eventually came out in English. But how to find it? I eventually searched the show on my roku and downloaded Happykids, where I watched all S4 and the special.

I also have an unlisted playlist of all the episodes on youtube. I don't know where it came from or why I have it saved, but it's there. I don't even need it considering I have better ways to view the show. And it only popped up on my phone after I watched everything. So-

love how monkie kid is completely wild in its accessibility. like oh you want to watch monkie kid? well the first two seasons are on this website with free cartoons and if you enter this back alley here you can get season 3 on a google drive from a shady salesman. its only the english subtitles, though, so you'll have to do some digging for the dubbed version. oh season 4? season 4 is on youtube
