Blog and Tags

wheee I have a lot of posts

Y'all can just call me Azure (she/her, but they/them works too, I don't mind either way) I'm an adult 🧍‍♀️

this is mostly a general blog, but it's also just my creative blog, so here's the art tags if you wanna see the Things I Make™

MY AO3 :DD

I have commissions now! Here! And here is the post where I say what I will and won't do!

tags below!

Azure arted-- any and all art of mine (hopefully, if I can remember to tag), digital or traditional

Azure animated-- mostly animatics, a good number with traditionally drawn frames

Azure writed-- equally terrible grammar for this one, this is snippets of my writing, I guess.

Here's my Fic tags (will be updated as I write more):

TSoTW/tsotw-- related to my Pirate AU fic (as is the Pirate AU tag) (this will probably only work on my blog, i didn't realize it was a tag lmao)

Iri fic-- posts relating to my fic about my current specialest OC and seven followers

TMHFIM: Too Much Has Fallen In Mine, aka my Fallout 3 fanfiction for Felicity

6th House AU: an au I originally thought up in March of 2023 and have decided to actually look at again.

Patty fic: things related to my Lord Huron fanfiction that I'm slowly writing

Blongfic: my twisted mind producing thousands of words about Lucio and my Apprentice Amaranth

Some OC tags!

Ldb OC: Iriae: my Dragonborn, Iriae, who I love very much and have drawn a bunch yippee!

Fo3 OC: Felicity: Lone Wanderer and Courier Six, who cannot be trusted around whiskey and misses her dog as of NV

OC: Amaranth: Arcana Apprentice OC

OC: Lora Celethe: my Undertale OC from my AU Loratale I have with @everythingisprincesspeachy

That is all, thank you very much

Also, I will probably use British spellings, but I am not British, just grew up reading that stuff, so it might flip back and forth.

Goodnight folks on the Internet :] y'all sleep well if it's bedtime and enjoy your awake time if it's not

We need to fricking stop with this CinemaSins TVTropes style crap in fandom. Actually, we need to stop that attitude in all creative fields, but I'm talking about fic right now.

I have seen many posts ragging on over-used phrases in fanfic, and yes, I find 'cerulean orbs' deeply strange, but if I ever said anything hateful on the topic I wish I hadn't.

You know why we say 'smirk' a lot in fic? cause its faster than 'gave a tiny smile to one side with their lips closed, a little cocky and provocative' Smirk is an easy way of saying it. It's the correct word. We say it in fic a lot because people smirk a lot in real life. Go people watch, its all over. Also. Bring me a true synonym for smirk, and I'll use that instead, but these ain't it.

If you have a better way of saying 'took off his shoes without untying them, just levered the heel with the toe of the other' that isn't saying 'he toed off his shoes' I'd love to hear it. Cause that phrase is perfect for it.

'Huffed a laugh'? Yeah, they did. Cause I'm not going to spend extra words describing how they 'exhaled through their nose once, amused, but not enough to fully laugh aloud' Its a specific action. You think people don't do that all day? five bucks says its exactly what you do when you see a meme most of the time. You didn't lol. You huffed a laugh.

The idea that something that's been used before is inherently less valuable is ridiculous. Same with the inverse.

If the phrase you want to use is common or widely used, but is the best way to communicate it? Use it. Don't fall for this trap that is currently consuming hollywood. You don't have to have a clever twist just because 'they survived and were happy' is a trope. You don't have to use some insane alternate phrase just because someone thinks fandom uses 'smirk' too much.

And, as always, if someone gives you hell and you don't want to fight them? let me know, cause I volunteer.

so many popular examples of fandom racism are barely actual fandom brand racism bcs white ppl (and honestly too many non black ppl) need outright in your face blatant stuff as proof to shocked and appalled by. most of it is the classic "I'm not touching you style" that's easier to gaslight around which is what a majority of racism is, gaslighting. slave fics a tortureporn of characters of color are awful but that's like individual weirdos who it's easy to mark off as obviously racist. The attention and outrage surrounding these little incidents allows everyone to feel better because of how exaggerated and one off they are, bad eggs in a good batch etc.

Real fandom racism is watching the darkest characters get boxed into the specific outsider pov trope over and over despite them being a core member of the cast. it's watching everyone have in depth headcanons for every character but them, denying them the complexity their counterparts get. It's them getting written out of their own plots, receiving little to no audience sympathy when they ARE complex, and, most importantly, watching them get cast in the same exact role when shipping comes in

but all this isn't loud, it's quiet and unnoticeable unless you've had to watch it play out with every favorite character you've had ever since you were ten and started engaging with fandom. it's repetitive, uncreative, infuriating and worst of all NOBODY WILL LISTEN WHEN YOU POINT IT OUT because you're just imagining it and they're not touching you. I've been making my own content and I've seen how people will go out of their way NOT to engage or engage specifically only to discredit a character of color.

it's not a one off thing or even a small pattern, it is what fandom culture is BUILT on, picking the palest skinniest most pathetic looking man in the cast, projecting onto him and ignoring literally everyone and everything else whether that be fanon over plot or the interesting female or darker skinned characters and masking racism behind fanon tropes

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 5 days 18 hours

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again
