i wanted to use this space to meet some more people in the proshipping and darkfic communities! im kinda a baby account here, because i only recently was introduced to these spaces by a close friend. i have a lot of amnesia so unfortunately its hard for me to keep up with a lot of fandoms (sorry in advance if im a bad fan and dont know anything xox'')but im always open to fic + ship recommendations. i love talking about ship dynamics and stuff. i just think theyre neat!

« ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » anyways, i hope youre having a good day!!! remember to drink water and eat something tasty! love you!

nothing has been more important to my being queer than when i went to my first pride parade, got seperated from my group, had a panic attack about it and was sitting on the side of the road holding a tiny genderfluid flag and freaking out. then this six foot five drag queen in four inch heels appeared from literally nowhere and sat down next to me. i, this scared-shitless trans bi kid at pride for the first time, very nervously told her she looked pretty and i told her my name and that i got lost and didn't feel like i should be at pride and she held my hand and said "oh, honey, everybody deserves to be here, especially you. pride is for everybody who's ever gotten lost, who's been scared of who they are or where they are. you think we never been scared before? pride's for you, honey, because you're scared. you don't have to be proud right now, but you're gonna be one day, honey, i'm sure of it."

i found my group soon after that and i never saw that queen again but to this day i am convinced i met an angel.

[trix-the-artemis]

That was not just an angel, that was a full blown god. A deity amongst the stars. A grand protector of innocence and queer people. In your time of work pride itself materialised itself into existence to guide you.

people with problematic ships are so valid! it doesnt matter if you ship to cope, ship for fun, or any other reason- youre still so very valid!!

fandom is supposed to be fun, so do what you want with those fictional characters! theyre your little dolls to play with!

The point of writing porn is have fun fuck around be turned on or completely unaffected but preferably the former so you know it's that good shit

Erotica is a valid art form and also consider it is so fun and silly and horror plus erotica is even better let me put that guy/girl in a SITUATION

[ludzka101noga-deactivated202410]

proshipping and antishipping is a silly internet argument TO YOU.

i can easily replace the word "ship" with "read", "write", "listen to", "draw" and "create", and think about it for 3-5 seconds.

not only that, i can really ponder on the consequences of the anti mindset coming to life

[only-problems-deactivated202309]

How you treat people will always speak volumes about what kind of person you are over your taste in fantasy. You can enjoy the most wholesome fiction, but it doesn’t matter when you’re harassing others, insulting and threatening them over having different tastes. Some people love problematic fiction yet are kind, respecting other individuals’ choices in characters and ships. 

You can scream about how your taste in fantasy makes you a “good” person, but it doesn’t mean shit when you’re an asshole. Your actions will always reflect who you are more than what characters and ships you like.

[owlet]

the word “queer” being used by someone who uses that word to describe their own experience of love and their cherished community should not ever sound the same to you as it does coming out of the mouth of a homophobe. acting like these two types of people are the same is unbelievably cruel

[changelingfangs]

^^^

Adding on once again: there is no word for our experiences that has not been used as a slur and isn’t *still* used as a slur.

My mother never said fag but she sure could say “gay” in a way that made it clear that was what she meant 🙃

[alarajrogers]

“Homosexual” in the mouth of a Southern Republican US Senator is more vile than “faggot” in the mouth of a 50-year-old gay man from Seattle, where they made an attempt at one point to reclaim the word. (Unlike queer, it didn’t really work.)

Hell. “Those people” in the mouth of a homophobic mom to a closeted gay teen is probably fouler than either of those.

[megpie71]

Just chiming in here from over on the disability side of things, where we can testify that it doesn’t matter what you call yourself, your terminology will get used as a slur by people who don’t want you to exist because you fuck up their ideas of how the world should be. So, call yourself whatever you want, and don’t yield to the people who don’t care what you’re called, because your greatest crime is existing in the first place.  They’re never going to have a polite word for you anyway.

"Its all eat the rich until 5 rich people may be dying one of the most horrible slow deaths imaginable with little to no hope of escape. Clearly if you feel any sort of empathy for the deaths of human beings you just willfully dont care about the migrants drown-" you can do both. You guys know that right? You can care about two things at once.

And i know this is an apparently unthinkable concept to most of the faux-political rage bait tumblrsphere but you can in fact also not support the type of people they are, condemn what they stand for in a world like ours, and still feel empathy for the fact that 5 living breathing human beings have to endure that much suffering. This is what i meant when i talked about how moral principles like not supporting the death penalty arent realy principles if they magically stop when it gets hard or emotionally complicated

And it also rubs me the wrong way how the only mention ive heard about the migrants at ALL on this site has come in the form of moral posturing gotchas against anybody saying "i dont feel right about gleefully celebrating someones gruesome death even if they are a bad person." I havent seen an informative post, or a donation link, or anything along those lines, just "WELL WHAT ABOUT THEM YOU CLEARLY DONT CARE ABOUT POOR PEOPLE" like no, shut up. Thats a different issue. "I like pancakes-" "WHY DO YOU HATE WAFFLES"-ass site.

Also seems really disrespectful to me how oppressed folks are only being brought up to win a moral argument against internet strangers that didnt even need to be there. Can you get your heads out of your asses and realize for two fucking seconds that not everything imaginable has to be read in the worst faith possible just because it complicates your black vs white worldview a little bit when someone says that they dont think they like it when people slowly suffocate to death

[waitingforthesunrise]

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

if you have violent intrusive thoughts I love you. if you have sexual intrusive thoughts I love you. if you have bigoted intrusive thoughts I love you. you are not your thoughts and you are worthy of love and care and help and affection. you are not a monster you’re a person going through it and that’s okay

[slimetony]

lets make a videogame how hard can it be

[slimetony]

nevermind you have to know shit about computers

[hthrthebear]

hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!! 

for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)

if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn

you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!

this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!

[auttoton]

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource

[slimetony]

It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.

While I'm talking about writing I do want to rec two INCREDIBLE writing apps that have helped me immensely as a writer with ADHD

Stimuwrite is a little program that you can customize with all sorts of really rewarding instant tactile feedback, for example sound effects every time you hit a key, emoji notifications and balloons when you hit your custom goal (which can be as low as you want for low energy days), and neat animated backgrounds.

4thewords turns writing into an RPG and you can kill monsters via word count in order to complete quests and progress through what I personally find to be an interesting and fun storyline. It comes with all the RPG trappings like loot, gear, even custom housing (win more stuff for your house by writing).

I cannot stress ENOUGH how amazing both of these have been in terms of my writing productivity as someone with pretty severe executive dysfunction issues. Usually I use Stimuwrite for the instant feedback and then copy and paste those over into 4thewords for the gamification.

Both are small indie projects, Stimuwrite is pay-what-you-can-afford and 4thewords is $4/month but they are very good about helping people who genuinely can't afford it.

and AS THE CHERRY ON TOP, Stimuwrite's programmer is a trans woman, and while I'm not sure about the 4thewords team in specific, the game is FILLED with really great rep, they are literally having a lesbian wedding global event going on right now as I type this. So like. I like giving money to them more than giving money to a lot of other projects lol.

Anyway no neither of these projects have told me to write about them or anything I just want to spread the love. Go check them out!!
