Hey everyone
The blog we all know and love – the lovely hardworkers behind the IronStrange fests, bang, and all that wonderful content – were cruelly stripped away from the collective that made it whole. What used to be IronStrangeHQ has been literally stolen by Parøxysm ( @lumina-interficias ) and Erja ( @erjastrangestark ), and has been parodied into a blog renamed @fuckyeahironstrange. All of the blood, sweat, and tears that Kim ( @cereus-at-night ), Ani ( @a-blog-against-team-cap ), and Izzy ( @music-is-the-voice-of-the-soul ) – as well as Paro and Erja, I will obviously say to credit – has been stolen.
And you know what this is about? Erja and Paro were literally making people uncomfortable in the discord server. There were literal complaints about them, both to mods and on the actual channels themselves, about them making people uncomfortable in a place that was supposed to be safe. In a discord server, and on the tumblr itself, where inclusion and comfort was key, Paro and Erja refused to censure themselves, refused to listen to the complaints, and refused to listen to reason.
Instead of bowing out because of personal reasons, the two of them decided to lock the other mods out of the account, change the name, and utterly, cruelly steal the hard work that all of the five mods had put into it. The IronStrange Big Bang that I, and many others, participated in? Stolen. The IronStrange Week Fest? Stolen. The beautiful content that showed these two idiotic, lovesick superheroes/wizards in love or in a family with their lovely Spider Boy and Magnificent Harley? Stolen. The multitudes of followers just wanting a safe, happy place to ship? Stolen.
I’m sorry, but if you follow @fuckyeahironstrange, @lumina-interficias, or @erjastrangestark, despite what they just did, then unfollow me now, because I won’t be associated with that kind of action or negativity.
So without further ado, follow the newly formed @ironstrangehaven, which is a phoenix raised from the ashes to give IronStrange shippers and fans the safe place you deserve. It’s still in its infancy, and they’re still working out the formatting for the themes and content, but be patient and it will resume its amazing content that we all know and love. Give them the credit and follow the hell outta them, because these three mods are absolutely phenomenal people who believe in inclusion, comfort, safety, happiness, and above all else, love.
….and for all you awesome IronStrange lovers out there? Boost the fuck outta this and/or FOLLOW and I’ll swear I’ll write you porn or even fluff. Seriously. Just @ me or shoot me a DM and I will write you shit, depraved or not.
Love you all <3
