Across the Multiverse @cynlan - Tumblr Blog

Greetings!

Wow, there’s a lot of you recently. Maybe I should do a quick “me at a glance” thing so you know what you’ve signed up for?

Welcome! I’m Cynlan, or R. B. LeMoyne. (If you know my government name: keep it secret, keep it safe.) Pronouns are he/they, and I’m a bi-romantic gray asexual. I’m also polyamorous and live with my partner and his husband.

When I’m not editing dubbing scripts or subtitles, I love running and playing tabletop games! I’m currently running a Strixhaven 5e campaign using Tales of the Valiant rules, but my first love will always be Mage: The Ascension. I also love Star Wars, Marvel movies, DC animated series, Owl House, ATLA/LOK, Steven Universe, EPIC, and a whole lot more that would take me far too long to list but will inevitably pop up on my reblogs here. I write about my TTRPG characters over on my sideblog @nahirdinboon, I play/sing music sometimes, and I just set up a Ko-fi shop for folks to buy my battle maps.

I’m always happy to talk gaming and geekery, so feel free to reply to my stuff, tag me in things, and start a dialogue!

We write for ourselves, but we post for others.

(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)

So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,

and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing

but i also think:

“i write for myself, but i post for others.”

because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.

people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,

and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:

“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”

especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,

and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.

And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,

and then it’s like,

does anyone see me? does anyone even care?

This Pride Month, remember:

We're here, we're queer, we're really fucking tired so we're just gonna go straight to biting instead of feigning polite confusion if you're gonna be a bigot this time, just so you know.

Happy Pride!
