okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

[ginjones]

Do you think you’ll ever finish that fic? No pressure ofc

yeah maybe! You never know? I’m going through the horrors atm so I’m having to take it easy at the moment but I hope to come back to it soon. :)

[fellshish]

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

[ginjones]

Hiii I found your hob as a dream fic and I desperately need to know more I’ll take crumbs please

hi! Oh yeah! I posted the first chapter of that a while ago and never got back to it. Hmm….yes. Hob isn’t actually human in this one, but he is technically immortal. Poor Hobby forget he was a dream after his lord was captured in 1916. Hob has been a nightmare before too though. He was changed in the 17th Century into a nightmare about the destruction of the French Revolution. But Dream missed his loyal subject in his bed chambers with him, so he transformed him into a cuddly, obedient dream again 😝

The saint blinks slowly. His mouth, Hob notices, is partly open and although the saint attempts to conceal it,his whole body shivers, despite the warmth of the light.

“You may approach me, my dreamer.” The saint says softly, and Hob, lured by the quiet power of that voice, does as he is bid.

 On 25th of May 1381, Hob Gadling, the only surviving member of a family swept away by plague, has a vivid and life altering dream. A saint, pale and as comely as a maiden tells him to follow Wat Tyler onto liberation. Hob, who is tied to the land on Lord Roderick Burgess estate is helped along the way by saintly visitations in the form of dreams. And now, Hob must decide if disobedience is worth the price of freedom.

Reverse Dreamling tropes

Have y'all seen that post about reverse tropes in fanfic? Well. What about reverse Dreamling tropes:

Hob is shy about sex

Dream's speech is fluid and very fast

Hob has nothing to do with the New Inn, doesn't even know the staff, it just happened to be close to the White Horse inn

Dream despises being wrapped in warm clothes

On that same note, Hob runs cold

When Dream makes Hob his Prince Consort, Hob isn't surprised because it's not the first time in history he has been one

Dream likes coffee

Hob hates tea

Hob's flat is tidy and minimalist

Hob doesn't really remember anything from more than 100 years ago

As a couple, Dream is more charming to others than Hob

Dream communicates his needs and feelings properly and clearly

Bonus:

Matthew hates Hob

[gabessquishytum]

Adding a few for enrichment in my enclosure

Hob LOVES Shakespeare and never stops talking about how great he is

Dream eats and drinks at every meeting

Hob is not a professor, and has never been to school

Dream smells like petrol, not petrichor

Hob has a weekly appointment to get his body hair waxed

Dream has an average, somewhat unattractive penis

Hob freaks out when Dream shows his more unhuman qualities and definitely doesn't have a tentacle kink

[academicblorbo]

HAHAHAHAHHAHA I LOST IT AT "hob has never been to school" but the petrol ended me 😅😅😅😅😅

Werner herzog

[mortalityplays]

when I first saw this quote I was like 'that's either david lynch or hideo kojima' and then read the source and realised it's the third and last of their species

[bloodblusters]

here's some other great bits from the interview

[ginjones]

Werner Herzog is what happens when you put a German, a Arthurian wizard and the ghost of Aristotle into a blender and some weird, fascinating guy comes out

[kawaii-pigeon]

So p/atreon is amping up its lockdown on nsfw material, gumroads is amping up its nsfw material-

Pornhub is currently not available in texas.

KOSA keeps coming closer to getting actually passed-

Can people please just admit that nsfw is being driven underground? That adult artists are being banned and pushed out of their spaces?

And dont start saying "oh just the yucky stuff." No, this is *ALL* Nsfw.

We are losing spaces left and right...

Not only that, it feels like we creatives are being killed. And that isnt exactly hyperbolic.

Paypal implemented taxes not that long ago, a hit to those who use it. Artists especially. Midjourney and other ai, stealing artworks, having people think less of artists.

Platforms kicking and banning artists left and right.

It feels like being an indie creator is being choked out of possibility. That you have to be born rich and lucky for your creative dreams to come true.

"oh you're just a porn addict its not that bad"

Its not that bad until your stuff is banned.

We had ROE VS FUCKING WADE thrown out the window. You dont think we could have LGBTQA+ rights thrown out too!?

The internet is becoming SO HOSTILE to creatives of all sorts. Its fucking heartbreaking.

Its like we're entering nsfw prohibition of the internet, buy a 160 dollar keychain for a 'free' picture of a dragon fucking a Volkswagen 😭

[apocalypticromantic666]

Exactly. And if people think it's just 'porn' being banned, they're wrong.

The lgbtq community is going to be the first to be thrown under the bus, especially with states like Missouri proposing laws where teachers are not even allowed to address a trans student by their preferred pronouns.

In other states, merely dressing as you identify is now being deemed as 'pornographic' and a crime.

It doesn't matter how 'wholesome' you think your queer art or writing is. It's going to be lumped in with anything lgbtq, and as far as the alt-right is concerned, it will be seen as immoral 'porn'.

This ban is the alt-right taking yet another step over the line to see how hard we will fight back.

Give. Them. Hell.

KOSA is the next step, and if it passes, we're fucked.

[ginjones]

I’ll add my two cents/pence by suggesting what we need is an increase in bricks and mortar art spaces. If I had the money, and hell, Isn’t that issue, I’d consider co signing with others on renting a space in town. I’m lucky that Glasgow has some fab art spaces but they’re also supremely under funded. Take art out of the digital space where capitalism thrives. It’s tricky and the money isn’t there but at least your less likely to get your art stolen in the digital Wild West

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
