Brain Storms in The Uninspired Mind

Nb, genderqueer, probably older than you. Don't @ me about my shipping preferences because I'm so done with pro/anti discourse.

About The Blog:

Disclaimer: I do not recommend you interact with my blog if you are a minor, or if you are an antishipper.

I reblog funny and/or interesting stuff that is presented to me via mutuals.

I am, otherwise, a multi fandom sort of blog. I enjoy shipping. Chances are you'll hate one of my ships. I tag them all accordingly, please learn to block tags.

I am a fanfic writer. I do not finish my fanfics. Sorry, not sorry. If you found me through my AO3 feel free to ask me anything about any of my fics. I'm bad about finishing them, but I more or less where they're all supposed to be going.

TADC Episode 9 spoilers, kinda, will keep it vague and under the cut just in case.

I already pointed out the similarities between these two dorks but the finale was the cherry on top. And I loved it. 🥹

Devastating news. Our faithful Watcher, Wise Librarian, Kind and Forgiving Father Figure. Just gutted 💔

[asettledsky]

Oof, the Amazing Digital Circus finale has given my a headache from crying.

Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

[asettledsky]

Me: Mermaids are mammals damnit! I'm going to paint this mermaid like a mammal!

Me:..... I hate this. Skin is a boring texture.

It's a work in progress.

[asettledsky]

I might've overcompensated.

Should I add some speckles to the face?

Nah, probably not.

[asettledsky]

Oh hey look, I finished it a couple days ago.

Ended up looking pretty good!

Something they don’t tell you about being a lesbian is that sometimes your wife leaves for completely reasonable periods of time and then you miss her so bad until she’s back

Awwwww <3

This world is so beautiful. People are shipping Ryan gosling and markiplier. Because they were both in space movies you see

[fangs-4-fags]

Tumblr users love to do things like this. I DO NOT mean this in a mocking way to be completely clear. I think it's cute. It reminds me of back in the day when people shipped jack frost and elsa cause they both have ice powers.

[fangs-4-fags]

Or like the superwholock thing. Tumblr users like to go "I like this thing AND that thing.. What if my FAVORITE CHARACTERS met each other? Would that be cool or WHAT!" And the thing is it's absolutely adorable

[fangs-4-fags]

You can say it's cringe or bad or missing the point of the movie all you want but I don't care. Yeah man, I bet it would be really cute if there was a happy ending and the blood murder man (in space) got saved by the dorky science teacher (in space) and they had yaoi moments. I'm so glad you're having fun

RIP to the legend

in my opinion, the question isn't "Is RPF ethical?" but rather "Are you engaging with RPF ethically?" and even more importantly, "Are you being stupid about it?"

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

But just have some basic decency and do not involve the real people. Don't cross the line without caring how it affects them. This is basic fandom 101 and lately we have been flying too close to the damn sun! Everyone get more normal about RPF so major news outlets and magazines stop posting articles about "Is RPF ethical?" and blowing up our spot!
