Future Fandom and You

tl;dr of the last post:

You cannot control how people react to your work.

You should not write based on the hypothetical worst outcomes of said reactions.

You should not write in response to said reactions (the ruin of many, from Game of Thrones to Star Wars).

Write for yourself and your goals, not out of fear.

All of that said, there are plenty good aspects to fandom and you should not be afraid of it. Keep focused, keep working, and you’ll make work you can be proud of and people will love.

being an x reader writer and trying to be inclusive of all readers makes me overthink so much like should i write about you having smth with milk in it? no no what if the reader is lactose-intolerant. about the reader being the big spoon? noo what if they wanna be cuddled like a little spoon. about fingers through your hair? noooo what if the person reading it is bald

Pixabay - same as unsplash

Pexels - stock photos and videos

Stockvault.net - stock photos

freepngimg - icons, pictures and clipart

Veceezy - vectors and clipart

Kissclipart and kissPNG - more vectors and clipart (often transparent!)

Getdrawings - simplistic images and drawing tutorials

Gumroad - photoshop brushes (and more)

Canva - needs login but has lots of templates

Library of Congress - historical posters and photos

NASA - you guessed it

Creative Commons - all kinds of stuff, homie

Even Adobe has some free images

There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without infringing copyright! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own. 

Please add on if you know any more sites for free images <3

Torn between coming to terms w the fact that negative emotions are healthy & normal & need to be experienced. And also my burning desire to never want to be that pressed about anything in my life ever

[lilcowgirl7-deactivated20210223]

You cannot live alone on the fantasies you feed to your mind, eventually you have to touch your life for real, assess and analyze your habits, understand your character, try not to hate yourself for your character as it was shaped when you were very young by circumstances outside of you, and begin learning how to cope with your character, how to build habits that work for you, finish small projects, finish big projects, expose yourself to more uncomfortable situations, assess why you want to leave that friendship before you leave it, raise your anxiety levels on purpose, so that you can grow, raise your work load on purpose, so that you can grow, so that you can build resilience, so that your life expands, and can be experienced by you in full and in reality

"Surprise, Sidney!"

Wanted to post something before New Years. I drew this a bit ago but never posted it, so before 2022 here's one last: "Suprise, Sidney!"

I truly hope 2022 is better to everyone than 2021 has been. 💕 See you next year!
