When The Sky Turned Black

AN: Hello all! And welcome to my first Twisters Fic. I'm so excited to share my writing online again and I hope you find this story very intriguing and enjoyable. A bit of a heads up, I'm new to this playlist selection so if you do finish any songs or don't get to finish them, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next set of songs when you get to them. I wanted to give options in case some read slower than others. So with that in mind, happy reading and let's dive right into the first chapter! ☺️

**Begin listening to playlist, starting off with Home - Philip Phillips**

May 31st, 2013, El Reno, Oklahoma

“Nobody ever thinks it’ll be the last time – not on a day like this.”

The air in El Reno, Oklahoma, had its own flair to it. In the winter, it was cold and crisp. However, in the spring and summer, it carried the familiar, yet still heavy, stillness. The one that came before spring storms. It was a quiet pressure that could sit on your skin like the whisper of something waiting to happen.

Inside the Owens’ household, that stillness felt sacred. Too sacred in fact. The late afternoon sun flooded through the kitchen windows of the old yet elegant farmhouse. Honey-colored light scattered about, splashing across the wooden oak table where Tyler, Nikki, and little Lily sat for an early dinner. The whirring of the ceiling fan filled the silences between small laughter and the clanking of forks against plates.

Three-year-old Lily began to babble happily, pressing her green peas into the mountain of bright yellow mac and cheese. It was a quick and easy meal, something the family made when Nikki had night shifts to tend to and Tyler would be out for late storm chasing duties.

“Daddy, peas go in the Mac and cheese! See?” The happy toddler presented her masterpiece to her parents.

Tyler smiled, letting out a soft laugh as he watched his daughter work her fingers in small, precise moves. “So our little girl is a chef now, hm? Guess I’ve been doing it wrong then.”

Nikki smirked from across the table, her dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail. “That’s because you eat like a raccoon,” she said, taking a sip of her iced tea, “You could learn a thing or two from her.”

The playful banter came very easily, a natural rhythm that the two had perfected despite being married for only 3 years. 3 years, yet already filled with so much chaos and love. Tyler leaned back in his seat, feeling the rare calm of being still, being at home — not on the road, not chasing storms, not glued to a live feed or radar with oranges, reds, purples, or heck, even a hail or debris core with adrenaline flooding through his veins. Just here, with his beautiful wife and daughter.

For a while, it almost felt like peace.

**Begin listening to No Rest For the Wicked - Lykke Li. Then listen to Running With The Wolves - AURORA**

On the countertop, the television was flicked to News9, a TV news channel in Oklahoma City. The broadcast murmured through the background noise of the family’s laughter, breaking into the regular programming schedule with severe weather updates. On the screen, the local meteorologist, while having a map of Oklahoma displayed right behind him with swirling patterns of reds and yellows, spoke with a careful blend of calm and warning only weather people could seem to master, yet all too familiar for Tyler.

“We’re keeping an eye on a line of storms developing west of I-40. Conditions look unstable — elevated CAPE values, high dew points, and a strong jet stream overhead. Could see some severe development later this evening.”

Nikki barely looked up from her plate. She softly rolled her eyes. “They’re always overreacting. Just a hailstorm and a thunderclap or two. We’re all too familiar with this by now.”

However, Tyler was seeing things differently. The radar on the TV screen further collaborated with his thoughts completely. He was on prime time focus, eyes narrowing thoroughly as if he could sense a bigger storm was brewing. Despite being a newly self-made storm chaser with a well-known amount of followers, yet being able to read a radar, he saw those blobs of reds, oranges, and yellows as more than just colors. He saw them as pulse and motion. As power. He could see the instability within, rotation, yet subtle near the dry line. It was these little signs that made his stomach stir with something between excitement and unease. Yet that uneasiness felt superior to the excitement.

“Yeah,” he said quietly, trying to keep his tone balanced. “Maybe.”

Nikki caught that usual tone. She knew what it meant.

“Ty,” she started, her voice as gentle as rain, “You’re not thinking about heading out tonight, are you? It’s your day off.”

He shrugged, his eyes not fully meeting hers. “Just going to keep tabs on ‘em. If something does come close, I’ll intercept. Nothing crazy though.”

Nikki playfully rolled her eyes. “Nothing crazy,” she repeated, giving him the usual look she did when she knew deep down he meant otherwise. “The last time you said that, you ended up live-streaming a wedge tornado that was only a half mile away! And that was only just a few days ago.”

She was right. Back on the 20th, parts of Moore had suffered from a catastrophic EF5 tornado. The damage was so devastating that there was still a lot of cleanup going on, and everyone could only hope that nothing else major, or sinister in this case, would tear down from the sky again. At least for a while.

That was different,” he said, softly smiling despite the real cause of going out there that day. “That one was worth it.”

She let out a soft laugh. “You’re impossible, Tyler Owens. But I shouldn’t be surprised nonetheless. You do good work. All of you. And I’m proud to have a husband that’s willing to go out there and save lives with warning ahead of time.”

He smiled, taking hold of her hand as his fingers brushed against hers. “You love that about me.”

“I tolerate that about you,” she corrected, though her hand lingered against his, her French manicured nails brushing against his calloused hand.

Just then, Lily banged her spoon against her plate, demanding their attention. “Mama! Daddy! I made a pea mountain!”

Nikki and Tyler couldn’t help but burst into a moment of laughter. Sweet and simple. Tyler playfully ruffled their toddler’s hair while Nikki leaned against him, her hand resting on his chest and her head resting on his shoulder. Outside, a dog barked somewhere within the neighborhood. A train’s whistle echoed faintly from the tracks that cut through the town. The grassy plains and wheat fields blew against the rather calm wind. However, against the windows, the air pressed a little heavier. But no one noticed. Not yet, at least.

**Begin listening to Can't Help Falling In Love - Kinna Grannis. Then listen to The Blade - Ashley Monroe**

Later, while Tyler loaded his camera gear into his truck, Nikki stood in the bathroom, buttoning up her flight paramedic suit. The patch on her sleeve — Oklahoma LifeFlight — caught the last streaks of sunlight. She had worn this uniform through countless emergency response calls, whether they were at daytime or at night: highway pileups, farm accidents, tornado aftermath, and recovery. However, her work was always meaningful. She loved flying. She loved saving lives.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t have quiet ache feels whenever she left home — Lily’s laughter fading behind her, and Tyler’s truck rumbling off into the storms ahead.

Two people chasing danger in different ways.

She looked out toward the west, where the sky was already bruising — clouds stacked in hazy layers while slowly turning darker and sinister, distant thunder rumbling beneath them. She exhaled slowly. “Looks worse than they said it would be,” she murmured.

Nikki then stole a glance of her reflection in the mirror — tired eyes, chapped lips, a faint crease in her forehead from the endless night shifts and emergency calls she had been on with little to no rest. However, she managed a smile, just like always before her shift, a silent promise that she would be home again with her family. Little did she know that it was about to be broken by something deadly lurking in the shadows…

When she came back into the kitchen, Tyler was already helping Lily pack up her nighttime bag as she would be spending the night at his Aunt Gloria’s place. The energetic toddler was babbling about arts and crafts, along with the usual “storm booms”, her hair moving about as she giggled. Nikki bent down, kissing her daughter on the forehead. As she did so, she could smell that fresh lemon verbena shampoo — a sweet scent that made every goodbye harder than the last. For Tyler, though, it was her loving charisma and Lillie’s of the valley scent on her skin that made it harder to bid her a temporary farewell.

“Be a good girl for Aunt Gloria tonight, promise?” She said softly. “And no staying up past your bedtime.”

“Yes, mama,” Lily said half solemnly and reluctantly, already distracted with her stuffed white cat. “Are you going to fly your big helicopter, Mama?”

Nikki smiled. “Yes, baby. But I’ll be back home just in time to see you wake up. And we’ll all be together again. I promise.”

However, Tyler’s eyes met his wife’s. They both knew she might not be, and it was a terrifying thought. How right he would be, though in time.

Tyler led the way out to the front door of their farmhouse and onto the front porch. The last of the evening light was now stretching across the gravel driveway. The air felt different now — heavier, alive with a low electric hum that made the hair on his arms rise. He could feel the subtle changes taking place within.

Nikki adjusted her paramedic bag and looked at him. “Promise me something.”

He locked his gaze onto hers. “Anything.”

Nikki gently caressed his cheek, her fingertips brushing against the little facial hairs he had. “If it gets bad, don’t outdrive it. Don’t play the hero. Get underground. And if something happens to me, promise you’ll take care of our baby girl. Do you understand me?”

Tyler couldn’t help but feel the chills that went down his spine when she said those last few words of her prep talk. If something happens to me. Tyler couldn’t imagine what it would be like if his wife weren’t by his side. He couldn’t. They got through Moore just fine. They would get through this day. They had to. For it was a week after their Lily had just turned three. Things had to go smoothly. The worst that could happen was them responding to numerous calls related to the storms that would barrel through, right? Right…?

”Tyler!” Nikki called out, her voice rising a bit.

Tyler instantly shook himself, focusing his attention back to his wife. He glanced at her as she spoke again.

“Promise? No outrunning a storm if it gets bad and you’ll be there for our girl.”

Tyler softly laughed, a soft smile crossing his lips. “I promise love. I promise.”

She arched her brow. “You never do.”

He softly laughed again — the easy, reckless laugh that she had fallen for just a few years ago. His expression softened. “You have my word, Nik, I swear.”

But he couldn’t hold back that sick feeling of something sinister about to happen. He wanted to keep everyone inside that night. Away from the danger, away from the howling winds, hail, rain and everything else that was on the severe weather list. He wanted Nikki to call out sick. So all three of them could snuggle. For once he was regretting going out there and chasing storms. But, Nikki needed to be at her job and he had to keep tabs on these cells in case they were up to no good.

Then, they kissed — the kind that stretches time, quiet and lingering, full of things that could’ve been said yet weren’t. Lily giggled from the truck while Nikki smiled against his lips, whispering “See you in the morning. I love you.”

Tyler smiled, “I love you too.”

**Begin listening to Hurricane - Tommee Proffit. Then You Are The Reason - Calum Scott (Instrumental Version)**

She then turned around, making her way toward her car. She jumped into the driver’s side, starting the engine. As she did so, the headlights lit up, glowing for a second before she pulled out of the driveway and out onto the street to head for El Reno. Tyler stood still as he watched her leave, the taste of her goodbye still warm on his lips. With a soft sigh, he then jumped into his truck, Lily still squealing as she played with her stuffed animals in the back seat. He smiled softly as he watched his daughter play, starting the engine before driving out of the driveway towards his Aunt Gloria’s house.

As Nikki continued the drive toward El Reno, she couldn’t help but find peace. At first in that case. However, as she looked toward the west, she couldn’t help but notice the sky that was once filled with the orange sun, was now stacked upon layers of dark gray to almost black bruises, with the first flickers of lightning dancing in between the layers of clouds.

She then flicked the radio on.

“—National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for Canadian County and surrounding areas until 10 p.m. Residents are advised to remain alert as storms begin to form along the boundary near El Reno—”

Nikki sighed. Of course. She thought. Storm season always found them both, no matter what promises were made. But that was Oklahoma spring for you.

At the hospital, the smell of the nighttime air was a mixture of rain and jet fuel as everyone ensured that the helicopters were fueled up and ready to go when an emergency call would be issued.

As the LifeFlight crew finished up their preparations, there was the joking banter amongst colleagues that flooded the runway. Nikki forced a smile, but couldn’t shake off a silent, twisting and churning feeling that was slowly beginning to form in her stomach — the kind of silent intuition that came from too many nights answering calls that started with static and ended in heartbreak.

Instead, she pushed it down and focused on her preparations. She had a job to do and she wasn’t going to let another regular storm system hinder her professional work. It was just in her head like all the other times.

Just another shift. Just another storm.

As Tyler pulled up to the driveway of Aunt Gloria’s house, the winds had picked up, snapping through the grassy plains around the farmhouse. Gloria met him out front, walking onto the front porch as he approached with Lily by his side. Her blonde hair was pinned up, wrinkles with worry etched deep into her face as she welcomed them inside.

“Are you chasing again?” She asked, folding her arms.

Tyler softly sighed. “These cells look like they’re going to live. Not sure when they will die out. Forecasters say it is an all night event.”

Gloria softly sighed. “Tornado watch has been issued. Just heard it on the radio a little while ago. I hope Nikki will be okay and no tornadoes touch down.”

Tyler sighed. “I know. But she’ll come home by morning. She’s got to.”

Gloria took a deep breath, focusing on the current events. There was no use in worrying about what would happen later. Right now, she had her nephew’s daughter to look after.

“You’ll be careful, right?” She asked

Tyler softly nodded. “Yes. I will. I’m not going to outdrive a cell or anything if it gets tornadic.”

“Ty-“

He softened. “Gloria, I will. I’ll be careful. I can’t leave my family. They need me. I know when it’s safe and when I have to move.”

She sighed, relaxing just a bit. “You always say that love. But storms don’t care how careful you are. They will take anything in their path with no mercy.”

**Begin listening to Time - Hans Zimmer**

He hugged her anyway, kissed her cheek, and promised he’d call. Meanwhile, Lily was already showing Gloria her stuffed animals and telling her about her pea mountain, oblivious to the heaviness in the air that was swarming around them. Tyler lingered just long enough to memorize her little voice echoing through the old house. He gave his daughter a kiss on her head before stepping back outside into the thickening air.

By now, the sky had darkened to a deep, unsettling gray. Even an almost black color. Lightning flickered off from the west again and thunder growled, as if the earth was getting ready to unleash its awaiting act of merciless destruction. Tyler climbed back into his truck, his camera rig sitting ready in the passenger seat, laptop with radar streaming live. The screen erupted in color — a growing cluster just west of El Reno.

He then adjusted the frequency of his radio

Static

Then, the calm voice of it broke through.

”We’ve got a new cell forming just west of El Reno. Tight rotation has been indicated. There is possible development of tornadoes within this cell.”

Tyler’s pulse immediately quickened. The thrill — the kind that never truly went away — rose up again. He knew he shouldn’t feel it, especially when his wife was out there and would respond to the aftermath of these vicious monsters. But the pull was too strong. This was who he was. All of him.

He started the engine. The headlights caught the swirl of dust as he rushed off onto the road. As he did, the first drops of rain fell onto his windshield as if marking the opening notes of something vast and inevitable.

He stole a glance at a photo that was taped to his dashboard — Nikki and Lily at the lake last summer, smiling under a tree on a sunny day. In that moment, he felt an old, conflicting ache: love and danger, both part of the same weather system.

Then, his radio crackled again.

“All spotters, we've got an update: radar indicates a hook echo southwest of El Reno. Tornado warning is imminent.”

Tyler gripped the wheel tighter, the wind now howling fiercely across the open plains.

He didn’t know that in just a few hours, the paths he and Nikki had taken — separate yet always intertwined — would cross again. But this time, the sky would be torn open.

And for now, he only knew the sound of his heartbeat and the growling of thunder calling him west.

AN: First chapter is done! I really hope you guys enjoyed it. Also please be patient as this is my first time in writing something. I haven't written for a while so I'm sorry if this isn't my best. Also, as I mentioned in the beginning, I'm new to creating playlists and if for some reason you do finish the songs or don't get to finish all of them, don't worry about it. I did this solely so everyone can enjoy my writing and since some people do read slower, I wanted to give them some more options. You are of course welcome to choose which songs may be to your liking of course. This is just recommended. I know I said this in the beginning but I figured I'd say it again in case you just happened to miss it and begin reading.

Anyway, that is my first chapter! Let me know what you guys thought about it. Reblogs and comments are appreciated along with feedback so I can improve and help make my stories more enjoyable and interactive.

See you next week for the second chapter of When The Sky Turned Black! ☺️

When The Sky Turned Black: First Twisters Fic

Synopsis: On May 31st, 2013, young Tyler Owens, the newly self-made social media star known for live-streaming storms, thinks it'll just be an ordinary evening. However, as numerous cells begin to make their way into El Reno, he grows concerned. His wife however brushes it off as the usual storm system. Hailstones and thunderclaps. Though it is proven to be more when Mother Nature unleashes her fury. And only some will make it out alive.

Author's Note: Hey guys! I finally have my first Twisters Fic in progress and will be ready to share the first chapter soon! I'm so excited to get back into writing and share some OCs of mine and bring back Tyler's crew. So buckle up and enjoy the story. It is mainly angsty, but there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I promise.

Also, I plan on finding songs associated with each chapter so you can listen to them as you read. I will also post on fanfiction even if it's outdated nowadays but wanted to give everyone some options if they prefer one platform over the other.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for later on this week where I'll post the first chapter of this story! ☺️

[dinocos-golden-boy]

PSA: First Twisters Fic to launch tomorrow!

Will be on all readable platforms!

Created a tumblr blog for Twisters and Glen Powell stuff as that's been my interest / fixation

Feel free to follow as I did follow someone and I thought it was through that blog but apparently it's to this one. Don't understand why tumblr is set up the way it is but whatever.

Anyway, here is my blog for all things Twisters and Glen Powell

@twistersgeek24

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Some quick head canons on Tex Dinoco because why not. I love Cadillac cars (both old and new) and he's my favorite character.

Travels through major cities. He's mainly traveled to New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles (tie breaker race in Cars) and they're all for business related reasons. But sometimes he just loves to stop and glance at the skyscraper buildings as he drives by. Although he wishes residents in these cities would be more pleasant. He hates being honked at a second later to go when the light turns green

Loves his hometown Texas and even built a speedway in Dallas for Piston Cup races. He's not shy to show it off whenever he gets the chance.

Loves homemade steak and barbecue. Nothing pleases this Cadillac more than being surrounded by steak and barbecue. As long as he gets it, he's happy.

Isn't the best cook. He once tried making lasagna in college and that didn't go so well. He ended up burning the meat and burnt himself with his tire after touching a hot pot. Not to mention that he also caused serval smoke alarms to go off in his dorm.

Just a few random head canon ideas on Tex I had thought about for a while so I decided to share them.

Also I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year and many wishes for a great 2022.

[dinocos-golden-boy]

I'm actually going to edit one of these head canons of mine cause I felt like it, but going back on my HC of him not being the best cook I actually think he can be great at it. Especially with Texas style BBQ and anything of the sort of that cuisine. Heck, I'll just go ahead and say that he may have had one on one lessons with the one and only Chef Ramsay. I'll leave the rest of you to decide whether this is interesting or nah.

I know this is from 2022 (I believe?) but hey, I can always change things. Don't come for me. Also I've been having an absolute binge of Gordon Ramsay lately so yeah...I think that says a lot.

[strip-weathers]

Found this old piece of mine from 2022:

Should I redraw this?

Yas!

Nah

Voting ended onApr 15, 2025

[dinocos-golden-boy]

I'd love to see how your art style has improved. Cause you've improved quite a lot with your shadows. I'd love to see a redraw with your new style.

[lucidollie]

I do a lot of thinkin' nowadays... Let me present to you: Tex headcanons. You wouldnt believe how much this man has a chokehold on me.

Tex Dinoco Headcanons

(Not humanized)

He knows everyone's secrets. He's trusted enough to keep these secrets (and he will) until he dies.

Cal & Tex are actually close, despite him poking fun at him. That's only a sign of a higher level of friendship.

His "bless your heart" condescension comes out around Chick Hicks. He has diabolical things to say about that car. (choosing not to is for Hicks' safety)

He may be a billionaire but he's humble. He doesn't need an estate or paintings of himself on the wall. If he wasn't so well known hed just be assumed Another Average Guy.

He will get anything for you if you ask... if its not illegal, of course. That's Sterling's thing.

Tex is the "tell me how you feel" type of car. He encourages anyone to not bottle up emotions. It's okay to cry in front of him, he won't tell anyone. Do you need a hug? Yes you do. Come here.

Your headcanons might be different from mine and that's fine! But please do not think your way is the high way, they're headcanons for a reason— They're fun, unique to user preferences and made up!

Here's a silly Tex screenshot to go home with :)

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Love these head canons! He was always my favorite character alongside the rest of the Dinoco crew. Had some head canons of my own of him back in 2021-22 and still have them but you'll have to scroll a bit xD

[lucidollie]

*drops and leaves* the lack of Tex art is appalling...

Made this for my own personal use, I needed a wallpaper... LOL I used some new brushes to give it a canvas-y look and I think I cooked ngl.

PSA: fanart =/= free to steal

I know this wont deter art thieves, half of em are dumb kids and people living in mom's basement... But for sensible fans, please do not take my work and repost. Reblogs are cool beans though, obvi :)

[dinocos-golden-boy]

THIS IS SO PRETTY! I LOVE IT!

The lighting source is just AMAZING!

 A friend threatened me to repost so I will!

Basically, there r tons of fake asses on tumblr who just want comments and followers, so someone started this to see who's actually a good friend. Everyone I tag better repost (and tag other people and preferably threaten them in a creative way as well) bc I'm high on caffeine and newfound lesbianism and will resort to violence.

Sick Page 1.

Second page is coming soon and this is small comic of Strip getting sick. 💊

Also there’s a first look at Strip’s and Lynda’s home I drew traditionally. Later I’ll do that digitally like in this comic and I’ll show the details. Hope y’all like it!

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Love it! Look at that! Amazing layout!

[boeingboingboing]

[Rant]

Why are there people talking shit in comments or generally about planes- especially telling how it's 'unrealistic'

Like what 😭 This was AIMED for KIDS- AND SO WHAT IF THERE ARE ADULTS WHO ENJOY IT?? Won't make you stop breathing bruh, let us love these characters and movies

Also whilst not everything is realistic l, THERE WAS ALOT OF RESEARCH PUT BEHIND IT- AND MAINLY THINGS WERE ACCURATELY DEPICTED. There's an article out there where a pilot talks about how it's weirdly accurate. It wasn't fully accurate because it's a kids movie and took creative liberties- totally understandable! (Article: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/08/disneys-i-planes-i-is-a-weirdly-accurate-depiction-of-flying/278484/)

Not to mention they visited an Aircraft carrier for research (where they were made fun of?? 😭)when creating the Jolly wrenches and visited CAL Fire when developing the PPAA team and about aerial firefighting.

That is understandable unlike aviation themed movies aimed for older audiences which have taken WAYY MORE creative liberties and made it so unrealistic.

Sorry for the random rant, but it's just that, let people enjoy what they wish! Every movie doesn't need to be accurate and every adult can have a movie aimed for kids as their favorite. Yes, some of us like talking planes and it's comforting, so buzz off and keep your opinions to yourself if you nothing nice to say.

[dinocos-golden-boy]

People have no life but to try and bring others down and it shows. This is getting so tiring. When will this fandom stop with all the drama? Enough is enough.

[strip-weathers]

If you’re in Cars / Planes fandom, please stop scrolling!

You reached one of Cars blogs! I’m pretty active on here and would like to get to know some other blogs!

I’ve noticed a lack of support and noticing smaller artists (like me) in this fandom so I want to say:

Let’s support each other! If you don’t follow me, leave me a follow and I’ll follow you back! A follow, reblog or like is something that we artists need and help us to stay motivated with our creations!

Come and reblog this for others to see this post so we can support more people in this fandom!

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Follow my art blog @xxlmcharlottexx as I will be posting art stuff on there and also reblog so you can see it on my main blog as well

Going to be sharing more art on here as I have tons of things I want to get out on here.

[mewfromshadows]

Reblog if you’re OK with people sending you asks about your OCs, ‘sonas or even about yourself

[cadfreakingspinner]

Crying thinking about the fact that there’s so many cars and planes blogs that have abandoned

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Sharing some new OCs and exciting surprises on my art blog @xxlmcharlottexx so be on the lookout for that

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Okay so apparently I forgot I did have an art blog on here that I haven't touched in FOREVER. And after mentioning I had some OCs of mine I'm sharing on insta, I'll be doing that here on my art blog so this way those who may not be on insta can see what I've been up to all along. I also have some projects and special surprises going on so you'll also get some benefits should this work out.

Should I post my OCs on my art blog so this way I can let you all lovelies get a glimpse of some new stuff I'm working on?

Yes! I'd love to see what you have!

No. Not interested.

Voting ended onDec 24, 2024

[lucidollie]

Is there anyone in this fandom who still enjoy OCs and reading about them? I hope you have a great day and your pillows are cold on both sides, like you deserve because I can't find more than one person who listens to me about it 🥰 /gen

[dinocos-golden-boy]

I got tons of OCs that I'm sharing on my insta. They're helicopters though so I don't know if that's up your alley. But if so, I'm more than happy to share them.

[dinocos-golden-boy]

To the producers, writers and anyone else involved with Blue Bloods....

YOU LEFT US ON A CLIFFHANGER! WHAT WAS UP WITH THE ENDING WITH EDDIE AND JAMIE?! I NEED TO KNOW! 😭😭😭

[strip-weathers]

How have your feelings on the fandom as a whole changed?

Oh dear this will be long..but thank you for the ask!

By this answer I don’t hate on anyone and I don’t want to upset anyone! I’m not going to hate on anyone and I’d never do that. I’m just saying my opinion!

And if you gonna read it to the end, thank you so much for that. ❤️ this is also a part of my venting. I felt very scared to say it out loud because I’m scared that people are going to hate on me because of this. I hope you guys won’t and you’ll understand me. 💙

Also if you’d like to discuss on anything I just wrote down, don’t worry and discuss with me about that! Just DM me and we can discuss!

My feelings about this fandom changed a lot. Before, like from 2017 (even lower years) probably to 2021 the fandom was something different. People were kind, respectful, nearly every Cars or Planes blogs got attention and people interacted with them. They were simply enjoying the time being there and also people’s ideas and creations. They were simply talking about head cannons and also enjoying that. And I’ve been happily enjoying that too.

But after that 2021 year, I have a feeling it changed a lot. Lots of well known people left, or they stopped posting maybe because they’re busy in their lives or they just ran out of ideas or they’re not interested in this fandom anymore. And still lot of people quitting and leaving this fandom.

Amount of people on Instagram? Very small. Amount of people on TikTok? Also very small. Amount of people on Tumblr? A little bit more cause probably most of them don’t have Insta. I feel like this fandom is getting smaller and more closed and people don’t want to interact. (Maybe they’re shy? Not sure.)

Also these days there’s one big issue, attention. Lot of attention as likes, comments, shares (reblogs for Tumblr) get only those well known people in the fandom. But not those small accounts or blogs (including me). But why? Why small artists don’t get attention we should get for work we do? Where’s the problem? Maybe the algorithm of the app or the app doesn’t let us be seen on people’s dashboards and fyp? Or is that because we draw something people are not interested in? Or maybe they don’t like us? I’m not sure about that but it’s sad to see it.

I also want people from fandom to know that I’m here. I want them to know that I also like this franchise. I want them to known that I’m drawing and writing about Cars and Planes. I want them to know that I’m also part of this fandom and I want them to know that they can reach me or interact with me without any worries.

And I did find lot of great friends and moots I’m glad and happy for. You guys are amazing and thank you for being in contact with me and interacting with me. I really appreciate it! Also all people who like, share (regblog) or comment my posts, thank you for that!

There’s also another issue in this fandom. Some people who may not be in the fandom (I’m not sure about that) just draw cars or planes randomly and post it and everyone are interacting as hell and it goes viral. And that’s all. But those who are here for longer time (also including me) post as much as they can but they never get any attention and interactions. Why? Where’s the problem? I’m trying to be as active as possible (for example here on Tumblr) and I get some attention (and I appreciate it) but not as much as other artists. I find it very unfair.

And the last one issue is that these days people ship characters that shouldn’t be shipped. 🚫By this part I’m not hating on lgbt community🚫

Yeah, some ships I do understand like Filmore and Sarge or Finn McMissile and Leland Turbo and some other ships. (Dont worry I also can see some cute ships with Cars or Planes and maybe I’ll show them some day owo.) But there are some ships that shouldn’t be. Like Strip and Chick. I’m sorry but in all honesty I hate this ship. You can’t just ship a married race car with mean race car. Why don’t yall give Chick some lady car? Like Natalie? I don’t get why do people ship them.

But I’m not here to hate on anyone! I’m not going to hate on anyone! People can do anything they want and I understand that. But I just don’t get this case and it’s so disturbing for me.

So in overall I sometimes feel like if you’re not friends with well known people in this fandom who would help you get viral, you’re not gonna be famous or well known in this fandom.

Again thank you for reading this into the end and have nice day / night!

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Kinda felt like saying something with this as well as I'm noticing a lot of change myself.

I agree with you on everything wholeheartedly. It's why I just stopped caring about everyone else and why I do what I do now for myself. It's tiring to please everyone and yet it's still not enough. I draw for myself. I create for myself. I do this all for myself now and it's so relieving.

I do feel ever since this bot who harassed so many cars/planes fans last year, the fandom has just died and it's so sad that one person ruined it for so many. I stayed back as I had some personal things going on at the time and even then when it was taken care of, I still remained silent. And now there's just so much silence and so many people have left. I regret taking a hiatus from my tumblr blog because when I was active so many people were liking my things and whatnot and then after the fiasco, it didn't make it seem enjoyable.

One person on insta also mentioned so many problems that are still going on with the fandom such as copying ideas and tracing and stealing others' artworks and whatnot. It's so sad this is still a major concern and that some people who write their fics on AO3 have had to stop or even delete their ideas because they're scared their ideas are going to be taken.

With everything you said and what I've also mentioned, this is the reason why I'm kinda no longer in the fandom myself. I just focus on my own animated world with this all and do original things at this point with my own heli OCs as that's what I got into and have been for a while. Cars will always have a place in my heart, but given with everything that's happened and whatnot, I've just been focusing on my heli OCs and have decided to do my own thing with living machines. It brings me peace of mind and I love making things original as they're completely mine and not related to canon characters or events within the fandom.

[strip-weathers]

I’m so glad I see you agreeing on this with me.

It is really tiring to ask for attention from others. Like I don’t want to do it for fame or something like that, I just simply want people to see my creation and I want them to know that they can actually interact with me if they want.

Being an artist or writer these days is really hard just because of AI and people stealing everything. I don’t understand where’s the problem with people nowadays.

Unfortunately I don’t know much about what happened last year cause I was on hiatus and I came back here in this summer, but all I can say it must’ve hit lot of people.

I also draw for myself but I also want to draw for others. For example to make their day better by my creation or just simply talk with them but I can say it may be useless unless you’re well know on here. The fandom isn’t what it used to be which is really sad.

[dinocos-golden-boy]

Yeah. I get it though. I really wanted to connect with others and share my interests and OCs with everyone else in the fandom but that doesn't seem possible anymore. And this is why I focus on my own thing with living machines at this point as I just want to do something for myself and enjoy what I'm doing.

Also with the AI stuff, that's very true and possible. As someone who's in the art field and wanting to do work there, it's very discouraging to see AI dominate all fields, especially the arts as that field is always looked down on and seen as not a suitable career or people majoring in that field are setting themselves up for failure and they'll end up broke. Just those stereotypes alone are dehumanizing for all artists out there and AI is only making this nightmare so much worse. One thing is for sure though. AI will never, EVER replace human creations. It's simply impossible. AI is so incoherent and when remaking digital pieces and whatnot, things are always junky looking. Can't really think of any other words right now to describe it and I know it's poor wording but you know, you get the point.

I really want to share my creations and characters with other fellow cars/planes fandom lovers but that just seems impossible at this point and it's really sad. I don't want to leave this fandom and I don't want to abandon my original works as I've worked too hard on them. I'm going to continue my work and my characters, but I've given up seeking attention and whatnot. I'm finally doing this for myself. But I'd love to share things about my characters with fellow fans who also have their own characters and whatnot. That opportunity is still there so if anyone wants to, feel free to DM me and spiel all your character info. I'd love to see what you have.
