Hi babes so turns out I’m bad at tumblr and I therefore decided that my main social is going to be IG. I’ll still be posting my art here whenever I have something now, but otherwise I’ll be pretty inactive. You can find me on ig at trashpandathebird

fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.

“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”

if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.

If you don't write fanfic yourself, then kindly fuck off with your "use proper grammar, use proper spacing, use "" only, bla bla bla... if you care so much, then go write your own fic. If you do write fics and also demand this of others, then you should know better. Writers, first and foremost, write for themselves, and then they share it with the rest of us. It is a gift. It is free. Writers don't make money. Readers have no business demanding free labour from fanfic writers. Going into comments to demand of writers that they do something to align specifically to your taste has no place in fanfic communities.

Sirius: I need you to date my brother.

James: I'm sorry, you need me to what?!

Sirius: Date my brother.

James: Am I having a stroke? I think im having a stroke.

Sirius: You are not having a stroke but I am! With every stupid ass Reg brings home i die a little bit more inside and i am one bad date away from locking reg in his room until he turns 30. So... Date my brother.

James: No, im having a stroke, im sure.

Sirius: JAMES JUST DATE MY BROTHER!!!

yeah yeah the whole "best friends brother so we have to keep it secret" is fun and all, but im such a fan of Sirius who desperately wants Regulus to date someone GOOD and not one of the many assholes he keeps hanging around. And James obviously likes Reg, he just doesnt know it so Sirius is slowly losing his mind trying to set them up

remus art later methinks? i have one stuck in drafts inspired by the love of my life Only The Brave

[fanonical]

so what if you're the only audience for the fanfic you're writing? at least one person's definitely gonna enjoy it!

people never pay enough attention to yuuta and it kills me! just an anxious baby with a cursed bestie, whats not to love?

[imbecamiel]

Most infuriating part of writing is having an idea and thinking oh, this is gonna be so good and wanting to IMMEDIATELY share the vision with other people because it's gonna be good but then you start writing it down and - it is gonna be good. Except. It is also gonna take so, so, so long to finish. And in the meantime. You are the only one with The Vision. Alone. Losing your mind. 😭

You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.

You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT.  I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.

I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.

I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.

I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.

I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired. 

Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?

Friends come and go. Relationships end. That edgy character you latched onto at age 12 is forever
