In honor of my tma fic rec lists I made forever ago, I have a new rec for you guys

stirs of whispers trail and linger (you still haunt the corner of my eye) by IsaacIsUnsure

Chapters: 1/?, Ongoing

Summary:

"She leaned forward with her elbows on her table, giving him her undivided attention and a pass on her inspection of his person.“What’s your problem?” Despite the harsh words, her expression was more curious and even a tad concerned as she took him in, which almost felt worse to him. “You’re twitchier than usual, and that’s saying a lot for you, Sims.”

He sighed and finally set down the mug of tea he was still cradling, hoping the warmth would chase out the chill he still felt from his conversation with Martin. The way he had looked and acted replayed like a movie behind his eyelids all night, and he didn’t get a wink of sleep.

'You don't want to die.'

“I’ve found a way to leave the Institute. For good.” He didn’t know how else to start this conversation other than being blunt and to the point.

Daisy was not expecting this."

OR

After his conversation with Martin in episode 154, Jon makes a different choice.

OR

I got sick of rereading the few fics where Jon quits the Institute via eye-gouging. So I made my own.

---------

I finally posted my own fic, took me long enough.

legs really emphasized this on his stream about the situation yesterday, but i thought i'd reiterate here because it is an incredibly important sentiment that everyone should keep in mind when engaging with fandom in any way: do not idolize content creators.

i've been a part of fandom for a long time. and inevitably, when an actor, celebrity, creator, etc is exposed as a bad person, the responses from fans are always somewhere along the lines of "i can't believe this! i trusted them, how could they betray me?" that's the thing. they didn't betray you, at least, not personally. it's not your fault for being a fan of a bad person, obviously. but you have to understand, they are not your friends. you do not know them. as legs put it, you know a very small, carefully curated slice of their life. that's it.

something else legs said that really stuck with me (i'm paraphrasing here) is that "you need to be your own role model." you can be a fan, you can connect with them, you can make art about them, but they cannot be the person you look up to, who you base your worldview and morality off of. it has to be you.

everyone's already said it, but please take care of yourself. don't doomscroll, don't blame yourself for liking them right up until they were exposed. and DO NOT pressure anyone involved into giving a statement. i hope this resonates with people, thanks for listening.

You know, I thought that the people saying Avid was secretly homophobic all along were unhinged yesterday. That just because someone is awful in a lot of major ways doesn't mean they can't still allies or queer and stuff and that not believing someones queerness just because they are bad people is not the way...

And I mean those things are still very much true but one cannot deny that Scott's stream came in with the steel chair.

With him revealing that Avid told Shelby in a call that he was terrified of being close to Scott because he was afraid he would make a move on him... That is some...familiar rhetoric, isn't it?

[starry-blooms]

I have no words for Scott’s statement but here’s a few chats from the creators in chat because I felt I needed to say sm

I also agree with Phil and everyone who was affected by avid and Marm (particularly Scott and Cambam because of the blatant threats over their lives) should get a restraining order

What the actual fuck

it’s always “I understand why you have an autism diagnosis now” and not “thank you for explaining the entirety of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to me, I really enjoyed hearing about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster”
