re: my rtah fics and art

so, although i barely use my tumblr anymore and have not created fan content for rooster teeth/achievement hunter in a very long time, i felt given recent events that i should come back to tumblr to make a statement just because this is where i was most active in the rtah fandom and ragehappy community for so many years. 

i’ve already expressed how i feel about what ryan did over on twitter but in summary i’m shocked, i’m disgusted, i’m angry and i’m disappointed. somehow it feels kind of selfish to be so upset by something that had no direct effect on me personally, but it really does suck. while i fell out of the fandom side of things some time ago, i still watch rtah videos almost daily and so much of the content that i still turn to for comfort is now tainted. my heart truly goes out to laurie, eli and olivia, to the rest of achievement hunter, and to all of the fans that ryan manipulated and hurt with his actions.

as for the numerous fics and art that i wrote and drew over the years featuring him - i battled with myself for a while on what i wanted to do vs what the right thing to do is, but i’ve decided that i’m not going to delete all of it. personally, i find that i am able to separate ryan from the personas we portrayed him as (particularly in terms of the FAHC AU, as that is what i dabbled in the most), and i generally don’t regret the things i spent time creating. right now, it’s difficult to see some of the things i created and not cringe at their existence, but there are some fics/art i’ve created that i’m still really proud of? and that i would still like to look back on fondly? i feel like this fandom really helped me really grow as a writer in particular and i don’t want to delete everything just because ryan fucked up big time, idk. i’ve already gone through my writing and art tags here and removed some posts; artwork i wasn’t particularly fond of, minifics that i don’t really care about. much of the content i’ve posted here on tumblr is years old at this point and don’t get new notes anymore. i think on ao3 i might oprhan some fics and possibly just lock others/turn off comments on them. at the end of the day, i believe everyone is entitled to process and deal with this however they feel most comfortable, and this is just what i’m comfortable with. 

i hope everyone is doing okay. this news was devastating for us all to discover, so please take your time in healing and know that you’re not alone. i will always cherish the time i spent in the rtah fandom and the friendships i made because of it, it’s just kind of hard to look back on some of the things i created without feeling gross now, but i hope that pain will ease over time. if anyone needs me, don’t hesitate to reach out to me on twitter. <3

[ cw animal death ]

i feel like it might be relevant to mention here as well just because i posted lots of photos of her on here, but my cat fleur was recently put down a couple months ago. idk, it’s been difficult so i’ve kind of just been pushing that to the back of my mind because everytime i think about her i want to cry but. yeah, there will be no more adding to her tag sadly.

i.. have a couple things i need to post lol

[armadil-lo]

posting this message here too just in case! ❤️

a handful of iwaoi

Why does being a woman put you at greater risk of having anxiety? Part biology, part what we teach our kids about their place in the world.

[redshiftsinger]

So we’re teaching girls to be anxious wrecks and boys to disregard the possibility of consequences for incautious behavior.  This explains a lot of things. Like… why women are anxious wrecks and men are frequently surprised when it turns out their actions do in fact have consequences. And why men don’t bother asking for help even when they really need it, and thus more frequently die from treatable health conditions (including depression), while women end up getting a broad stereotype of being hypochondriacs (and then having a hard time getting treatment for legitimate health concerns).

Great example of how feminism serves not just women but people of all genders, including men.

[lesbianshepard]

I would be the worst spy of all time because on one hand I overshare like hell, but on the other hand I also have THE shittiest memory so it’s really a lose/lose scenario for everyone involved.

[lesbianshepard]

guy interrogating me: What’s the passcode?

me: Ah fuck. I think it might be 792…..4?

me: Actually no I think it starts with a 2.

me:

me: Yeah I usually just rely on muscle memory for it. Do you think you could get a keypad in here? That might be faster.

[lesbianshepard]

guy interrogating me: who do you work for?!

me: Okay, so this is super embarrassing. I know he told me his name when we first met but I forgot and at this point it would be weird if I asked him for his name again, right? So I just kind of go with “sir” whenever I have to talk to him. It might be David though. He looks like a David.

[lesbianshepard]

me, after being extracted: bad news guys, I totally blew Dave’s cover.

my boss: Wait, what?

me: Yeah, like they had knives and shit and it was kind of stressful so I just told them that my contact’s name was David Johnson. Really sorry about that.

boss: We don’t have a David Johnson working for us. Are you thinking of James?

me: 

me: Good news, guys, I did not blow James’ cover!

[lesbianshepard]

Enemy 1: So, how did the interrogation go?

Enemy 2: We got nothing. All they did was ramble on about their childhood trauma for two hours.

Enemy 1: Hmm. maybe lower the dose of the truth serum next time.

Enemy 2: We didn’t use truth serum.

[lesbianshepard]

me: So I managed to listen in on them for an hour through the air ducts

spy 2: and what did you learn?

me: Oh, nothing. I zoned out like five minutes into them talking.

[lesbianshepard]

I try to tell my team the way back to the enemy base, but I forgot the address and every time they ask which way to turn I do the L hand trick to remember left from right.

[cats-eye-future]

On one hand, Wrong Hordak really deserves his own unique name.

On the other hand, his name being ‘Wrong Hordak’ is absolutely hilarious.

[immaplatypus]

this is like 8 years too late

[leviaana]

she isnt sleeping anymore shes just sneaky

[aymmichurros]

There’s only 2 genders

owo and uvu

[bookerfly-deactivated20171218]

what about uwu

[aymmichurros]

excuse m,e? whats this sjw bullshit?

[marisatomay]

my brother has been criticizing me all day and he told me if i wasn’t happy i could go somewhere else so i wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s dinner so i took the massive bowl of pasta + special sauce i spent the last 2 hours making from scratch for the whole family and i left

[marisatomay]

it really is incredibly bold to mercilessly criticize the person who is not only making your dinner but also holding a knife

[marisatomay]

I sequestered myself in the other side of the house and ate my family-sized pasta from a mixing bowl using a serving spoon in the dark because the sun went down in the 2+ hours I spent stewing and I was too stubborn to turn on a light

[marisatomay]

the only person I shared my pasta with was my dad who on a conference call at the time and didn’t just stand there and watch my brother be an asshole like the rest of my family and since he came to me in my sanctuary with his bowl and asked nicely if he could have some pasta i did share with him

[marisatomay]

sometimes you’re an adult who has been quarantined with your parents, younger siblings, grandfather, and dog for the last 2 months because of a global pandemic and some nights you just have to take your pasta and Leave because you are an adult who knows when to tap the fuck out

[rivkahstudies]

OP thank you not only for the amazing image of you eating pasta in the dark and your father kindly pleading for your mercy but also a wonderful example of when to set firm boundaries and prioritize yourself bless u
