Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.

Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.

Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!

I hate you epitome of innocence being represented with blonde hair I hate you lightness representing goodness I hate you "angelic features" automatically being read as blonde hair and blue eyed with pale skin I hate you whiteness as the default for morality I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

[clonehub]

Guess who's being the most annoying on this post

[clonehub]

this post isnt about blondes and how its so unfair to them that theyre always viewed as good healthy holy morally upright outstanding people no matter what this post is about racism its about colorism its about white supremacy making people with dark features and skin literally feel evil. this is not about your stupid disney princesses or achilles or your fave anime boys being allowed to be unhinged feral shitty awful people and this sure as hell is not an opportunity for blonde people themselves to show their entire pasty flat asses and beg praise for "breaking the stereotype" by being shitty unhinged people. fandom people you are 192% of the problem. white people in general you are 1,000% the origin of the problem. this site is so unbearably white my GOD

I feel like I'm the last person alive writing in Word, but wanted to share this because it might save someone some heartache.

I am used to Word autosaving relentlessly; for the last few years it didn't really even have a "File>Save" command that I could see--it just autosaved like every five seconds or something. It took me a long time to get used not clicking File>Save at the end of every writing session, and I never really trusted it--with good reason, it turns out.

Apparently, when you turn off Word's new ai features, AutoSave is disabled and cannot be turned back on. There is toggle button in the upper left for it, but when I try to toggle it on, it says "Autosave is not available because of your privacy settings." I worked in my document yesterday, put my computer to sleep with the doc still open on the taskbar (my usual habit), and when I opened it today, the new work I did yesterday was gone.

This time I only lost about 300 words, which I had typed into my document from my longhand-writing in a notebook (so I guess I kind of autosaved them that way!), but if I'd really been on a roll, this could have been a disaster.

Be careful out there. Everything is terrible!

[helloliriels]

Yeah, they're baking it into essential compontents now so we'll stop turning it off. Noticed that in several programs. FFS I hate all of these tech bros.

2026! Where have you been, Bard? What have you been doing?

Original writing! Reading books! Getting married!!

Hi everyone! welcome to 2026, I'm so excited to see everyone here. A quick update:

Where have I been? Simple question, complicated answer. I've been reading some books, working on my debut novel (or two, more on that later...), working hard at my dayjob, training the new dog, getting ready to get married at the end of the month. Way too much adulting and my brain is mush.

When is (xyz) coming back? Eventually! I don't write chronologically, so it takes me a while to finish anything. I dont apologize for this. the end of ghost boy ghost boy is actually already finished, I just have to bridge the gap. I have ideas for Spring in Hell, I just have to find time to make them coherent. I still have fanfic ideas! It just isn't the only thing im doing >:3

What's next? I want to finish my debut novel by the end of the year, so that'll be my focus. If there's interest I might even share some snippets. I'm planning to start doing some book reviews (if you dont want to hear them, the tag is "book review") bc i have Thoughts:tm: about what ive read and I want to share that. there will still be fanfic, new video games, terrible memes, occasionally some cooking advice.

Welcome to 2026!!!! Thanks for being here, I'm excited to keep on keeping on!!!!

my daily affirmation as an author

[hemipenal-system]

hey if you’re a frequent flyer in my notifications i probably recognize and appreciate you. btw

[bardicinsomnia]

It is critically important to me that spring in hell/poly-z omegaverse au be told from everyone's perspective except Robert's. Everyone around him should look at this man and go "oh. that's an omega on the edge of his heat who's trying to work as long as he can before he takes as little time off as possible. Kinda sucks but so does capitalism my dude, lets make this as easy for you as possible". Z-team closes ranks as much as possible around their packmate without hovering around an omega who hasn't invited them to join his heat.

Flambae brings him a full curry lunch as an apology after Robert snapped at him over comms. Prism and Invisigal keep a rotation to keep his water cup/coffee topped up. Malevola and Sonar are playing scary dog privilege when Robert leaves the office.

Coop is the only one who has a hunch as to what's going on in Robert's head, and that's because she's been there. Punchup is following her lead bc her hunches are... well they're wrong sometimes but they're always interesting, and also omega solidarity.

Meanwhile Robert is floating through the workday as a lead balloon like. Man this flu is weird. Hope I don't end up in the hospital again :)

Tagging Game

What's your favorite slightly-poetic line you've written for fanfiction or something else?

I'll go first :} (Line taken from my fic Clipped Wings)

Dick seemed to be stuck repeating Jason’s name over and over like it was a blessing and a prayer and a knife to the heart. The weight of grief, joy, and redemption was placed on every whispered syllable. He was clutching Jason like he was made of smoke and he didn’t seem to notice the mud that covered Jason’s clothes. 

The two brothers stayed like that, crying together in an empty grave, for somewhere between a few minutes and an hour. It was hard to tell. The only thing that got them moving at all was a sudden, loud crack of thunder that startled them both out of the fog of reunion. 

Dick looked up at the sky and seemed to finally register the now-pouring rain. He laughed aloud and looked back at Jason with utter joy in his eyes. “Let’s go home, yeah?”

Jason nodded slowly. “Home. Yeah, let’s go home.”

Oh! Uhhhhhh

Every fucking centimeter of Yone is fine control.

Not controlled like Ezreal used to be, and not controlling like Sett gets when he’s in a mood. But Yone drives exactly five over the speed limit, just enough to feel like flying while still just slow enough that most cops would let it pass, and he rolls his eyes when Kayn rolls down the window but when he indulgently rolls his own window down as well it’s like his hair isn’t even touched by the whipping wind.

Hell, the dude eats cinnabons without getting a speck of cinnamon sugar on his clothes. It’s fucking witchcraft.

It makes every single break in his perfect control seem somehow just as purposeful. When their hands brush over tacos in an ill-lit restaurant, when he laughs behind his hand at one of Kayn’s shitty jokes but also pings Kayn in the forehead with a sauce packet. When their ankles tangle under the table, Yone looks down with what seems like genuine surprise, one hand pushing some bangs behind his ear as if just to give Kayn the perfect view of how his eyelashes flutter like this is some coy storybook romance, and–

Kayn’s not Rhaast, has never seen the great jewels of Shurima, has never beholden– beheld?-- anything more valuable than… well, Yone’s Porsche, maybe, or K’sante’s fancy-ass watch. But Yone has a little bit of frosting on the corner of his mouth, just a little bit, that glistens wetly on Kayn’s thumb when he goes to wipe it away, and Kayn thinks, Yone puts all of that to shame. All of it and more.
