Fic writers & fellow Ao3 users I have a question-

Do you like it/is it correct Ao3 etiquette to comment on a fic you liked even if it’s like, from 2005 and from a fandom long dead? I’ve been tossing and turning about this because I don’t wanna accidentally like, bring back middle school trauma for sonicfan420 on a random Tuesday.

I love being just some random dude on the internet, like yeah, I can just post anything, I doubt anyone would notice.

And maybe one day, something I’ll post will become nichely popular, and someone will get to look at the rest my nonsense posts and fall to the consensus that I am just as strange as the initial post I made implied.

Big fan of yaoi

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

“what’s stopping you from-“ listen i am so so sleepy

[yourlocalnautilus]

the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.

“there’s no platonic explanation for this”

Well there is actually, they’re friends. They’re friends and they love each other and it doesn’t mean any less than if they were dating and they loved each other. They’re friends and that means devotion and affection and loyalty and love, and there is no point in which that love reaches a level that immediately indicates that their relationship must be romantic.

MY FAVOURITE FISH BOYYYY

[rabbitscreams]

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

[rabbitscreams]

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

[rabbitscreams]

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

[gay-milton-quotes]

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

[l-r4inb0w]

#this comic is so beautifully poetic

#it DOES matter, like, it’s not a inherently bad this to have darker character with those traits- but it’s important to analyse where it’s coming from and if it’s a running theme

#dont kid yourself and just go “well I’m not racist! I do X” or “I am X!”, racism is so heavily rooted in our society and it DOES affect us and our perceptions

#it is never a bad thing to question yourself and your views, it’s how we change, how we make change

#anyway that comic is beautifully written, and also so, so pretty- I love the colouring

#I KNOW THATS A LITTLE ON THE NOSE FOR THE GIVEN TOPIC BUT COLOURING IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BITS WHEN I DO ART
