My Own Corner of Weirdness

[ASKS CURRENTLY CLOSED] Welcome! I'm just a fandom-obsessed young hobby artist who also writes and studies science . . . My art is a mix of traditional and digital. My avatar is my favorite Inktober 2023 drawing, of KH versed Ghirahim from LoZ. My header is a Secret Santa piece I created in 2022 for Kahlia Rae of their character.

Reblog if you don't use Generative AI to write fanfics/original fics or to create fanart/original art.

Reblog if you’d rather give yourself papercuts between each of your fingers and then rub hand sanitizer all over your hands than use generative AI to write or draw anything ever

I think I already reblogged this but im gonna do it again because this is a good reminder on how toxic gatekeeping it.

[bowling-with-skulls]

I’m reblogging this for the amount of thought that was put into figuring out the necessary configuration for a mertaur wheelchair.

You’re completely correct. Out of my way, able-bodied losers. Fuck you.

It's called an EZRide+ and you can learn where to find them here. They're about $1100 US as of June 2026, but you might need to buy additional parts to attach them to your chair, depending on the style of chair.

Remember to put links to products like this, they're usually hard to find and a lot of people need to know they exist.

THIS IS SO COOL

[typewriter-worries]

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart

[peridotglimmer]

She's on YouTube too! For non-Instagram using friends:

I love her, she's great. Her recipes are friendly for both physical and/or intellectual disabilities. And her 5-year-old helps her cook. 🥰

Link to her YouTube channel:

it is my professional obligation to share with you my latest dumbass song

[sandersstudies]

Help my blorbo is my DnD character 😭

[sandersstudies]

Playing an always-masked cleric who is canonically 12 years old and speaks with a Belarusian accent. Negative intelligence stat. Gives shiny coins to anyone she considers a friend; tallies coin acceptance to determine her total number of friends: currently at 12. Inspired by this display, but with dark color palette to resemble a nun.

[sandersstudies]

Hey everybody just post your DnD blorbos and we can all enjoy them together

[gender-luster]

episodes that i think every tv show should have:

timeloop

whodunit

musical

beach trip

random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)

one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again

one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

I feel like with the new ~fandom drama~ or whatever going around, I should re-introduce my favorite theory of fandom, which I call the 1% Theory.

Basically, the 1% Theory dictates that in every fandom, on average, 1% of the fans will be a pure, unsalvageable tire fire. We’re talking the people who do physical harm over their fandom, who start riots, cannot be talked down. The sort of things public news stories are made of. We’re not talking necessarily bad fans here- we’re talking people who take this thing so seriously they are willing to start a goddamn fist fight over nothing. The worst of the worst.

The reason I bring this up is because the 1% Theory ties into an important visual of fandom knowledge- that bigger fandoms are always perceived as “worse”, and at a certain point, a fandom always gets big enough to “go bad”. Let me explain.

Say you have a small fandom, like 500 people- the 1% Theory says that out of those 500, only 5 of them will be absolute nutjobs. This is incredibly manageable- it’s five people. The fandom and world at large can easily shut them out, block them, ignore their ramblings. The fandom is a “nice place”.

Now say you have a medium sized fandom- say 100,000 people. Suddenly, the 1% Theory ups your level of calamity to a whopping 1000 people. That’s a lot. That’s a lot for anyone to manage. It is, by nature of fandom, impossible to “manage” because no one owns fan spaces. People start to get nervous. There’s still so much good, but oof, 1000 people.

Now say you have a truly massive fandom- I use Homestuck here because I know the figures. At it’s peak, Homestuck had approximately FIVE MILLION active fans around the globe.

By the 1% Theory, that’s 50,000 people. Fifty THOUSAND starting riots, blackmailing creators, contributing to the worst of the worst of things.

There’s a couple of important points to take away here, in my opinion.

1) The 1% will always be the loudest, because people are always looking for new drama to follow.

2) Ultimately, it is 1%. It is only 1%. I can’t promise the other 99% are perfect, loving angels, but the “terrible fandom” is still only 1% complete utter garbage.

3) No fandom should ever be judged by their 1%. Big fandoms always look worse, small fandoms always look better. It’s not a good metric.

So remember, if you’re ever feeling disheartened by your fandom’s activity- it’s just 1%, people. Do your part not to be a part of it.

Drinking soda is better than drinking nothing all day. Eating ice cream for dinner is better than eating nothing for dinner. Eating salsa is better than having no produce in your diet at all.

Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.

Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.

Don't let societally imposed food guilt trick you into believing that nothing is a better choice. Nourishing your body, however you can, is always the better choice. Fed is best. Always.

i keep seeing people make broad, sweeping statements about project hail mary- specifically about Eva Stratt and it just. I need to be so so so so so clear that they softened her considerably for the movie. Book Eva is not… gentle. She doesn’t give a speech about how she isn’t betraying Ryland, she’s believing in him- she tells him he has no family, no pets, and she was always planning to send him to space against his will if she had to.

And the movie doesn’t touch on it, but there WAS a fourth option. There was another volunteer for the scientist position who was coma resistant and could have been being trained the entire time. Grace did not HAVE to be the tertiary scientist. She made the choice to NOT train that scientist and instead send Grace against his will.

And yes, he’s the main character and without that choice we wouldn’t have a book and blah blah blah but i’m not talking about why Andy Weir chose to send Grace, i’m talking about Eva Stratt. And Eva Stratt did not do it because she believed in him. She did it because she believed it was best and did not consider Grace or his autonomy at any point.

And in the book, he isn’t knocked out immediately. He sits in a cell, knowing he’s going to die and unable to doc anything about it because he knows at the end of the day, when Eva Stratt has decided something, it will happen. THEN he’s drugged and knocked unconscious and forcibly boarded on the ship.

This is not hate for Eva btw, that’s my girl, she was in an impossible position and did what she thought she needed to in order to save the human race. I deeply empathize with her and how difficult all of it must have been for her to live with.

But that doesn’t mean she didn’t do a shitty fucking thing. She did. And we don’t need to soften her up to make it more palatable.

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

If (when) you repost this on pinterest at least put a link to the original post somewhere..
