Onceler Heritage Post

fightrflight

Gosh I wish I could remember all this! I only remember a few big main ideas and events from that first year. But this is helpful. There was so much going on. I definitely remember thinking that exact day 1 thought (which would have been around day 15-ish in March that i discovered what was happening here on tumblr)

I remember procrastinating my homework, lying on the floor with my laptop watching hundreds of asks come in by the hour on swag oncelers blog and just cackling and thinking holy SHIT these people are hilarious and amazing

I still think that this fandom will follow in the footsteps of the movie….

We started off all innocent and miniscule and full of laughter.

Then we want more and more, and become increasingly more “creative”.

We keep biggering and biggering and biggering, until we finally lose sight of what was really important and focus only on what we think is best, but that ultimately leads to our destruction until there’s only one little seed left.

Months/Years go by, and nothing really happens. Most everyone has left and the fandom is just this desolate valley full of old memories and broken promises.

After who knows how long, someone – one person – shows up and displays interest in the dwindling/almost dead fandom.

They plant that last seed and, somehow, miraculously, the fandom slowly sprouts back to life. Past members return to bask in forgotten memories… and newly sprouted ones. Friends reunite. We start life all over again, wiser for the wear and careful not to make the same mistakes twice. We let it grow, and we let it grow better than before.

This may be slightly off topic, but one thing/collective memory i would like to bet many people in this fandom share, whether they joined in the start or in one of the waves throughout the years, is that they cannot watch Ratatouille, one of the greatest movies of all, without thinking "hey there's plutonis"

only the chronically tumblr girlies can guess what character was my keychain made inspired on

(don't read the tags cut it will get too obvious ofc)

Fandom Etiquette

I’ve been around for a really long time in various fandoms, and no one ever writes this stuff down. I’ll start. Please add to the list. We can’t expect people to follow “rules” they don’t know exist.

written with the help of @unbreakablejemmasimmons

Fanart

if you like something, reblog it. Help the artist get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you.

if you want more of it, support it. This can be via commissions, reblogs, recommending the artist to other people, shouting in the tags, or sending the artist asks/messages.

if you hate it, keep scrolling. Keep the hate in a message window with a friend, not in the artist’s notes.

if you want to use it, ask permission. Artwork is beautiful and you want to show it off. But please ask the artist before you throw it into your header or your icon.

if you use it, give credit. And not just a post where you say “Do you like my new icon? X made it!”. Put it in your blog description, that way when someone rolls around your blog three months from now, they also know where your icon/header came from.

Fanfic

if you like something, reblog it. Help the author get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you.

if you want more of it, support it. Kudos are fine, but if you want more of the thing you like, you should comment. Subscribe to the story or the author. Send them a message about how much you like what they wrote.

if you read it, kudos it. Or give it a thumbs up. And this is just if you managed to get all the way to the end. If you finished the story and you actually liked it? Comment and reblog.

don’t demand content. Be patient. Stories take time. You can encourage without being demanding. Show your love for what’s there without telling them to post more often.

be gentle with criticism. Some people want it and some people run away from it. If you don’t know what type of person the author is, it’s best not to go there. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.”

Fandom

ship and let ship. You love your ship and other people love theirs. No one needs to “win” when we’re all going to end up in tears anyway.

if you hate it, stay out of the tag. This has two meanings: 1) don’t deliberately put hateful commentary in a tag and 2) if you hate a tag, don’t go and read through that tag just to make yourself angry

if someone makes you something, appreciate it. Read and comment the fic. Like and reblog the artwork. Pimp it out and tell them how much you loved it. It’s a gift, treat it like one.

if it’s a gift, put some effort into it. You signed up for that exchange three months ago and now it’s a week before you have to send the gift and you don’t have the time or the inclination to do the thing. Well too bad. Someone out there has been working hard in your gift, so you should do the same for them.

none of us are “better” than anyone else. We’re all trash for our particular show/film/book/ship/artist/what-have-you. My fave is no better than yours and yours is no better than mine.

actors are not their characters. They are people. Treat them like people.

*gently slams the reblog button*

Not on my own account, but writers I know have been on the receiving end of more unwarranted and plain rude crap than usual lately…

all of you!!

Fandom ettiquette needs two more…

Tag your ships, people can be triggered by ships that are inherently abusive (p/e/d/o or in/ce/st) and be aware of common triggers so you tag it for people filtering it out.

Show creators and fan content creators do not owe you their time. Begging for more seasons/chapters/books is annoying and asking about spoilers is rude AF just wait for the next god damn episode/chapter/book. You do not need to spam their twitter or blogs.

Let me just start off by saying I am so sorry littleler omg <3

I tried to draw each onceler in each artist’s individual style. I am so sorry if I’ve missed any detail or if any of the lines look uneven. This is my first time testing out this style so ye.

I hope this gives all these blogs publicity. If you can, send these blogs asks. I’m sure they’re appreciated.

Honestly this looks like a setup for some sort of sitcom >_<

i hate the neologism “partner” for “person i’m dating”. i have no intention of being a cowboy and nobody will ever be a cowboy to me.

skooth

speak for yourself, slim. some of us cowpoke are lookin’ for the right partner to call our own… [twangs acoustic guitar softly as i stare towards the twinkling night sky] don’t see many of them stars where you’re from, eh, city boy? nah. didn’t think so.

beholding

In 30 years, kids as young as 6 or 7 will be sitting in classrooms hearing that women didn’t always have the rights to their own bodies and how boys couldn’t marry boys and girls couldn’t marry girls and they’re going to be as confused and disturbed as when we first learned about slavery and Black Codes.
