no, i didn't completely disappear from tumblr and the rnm fandom because of carina!trauma what are you talking about
Thus is the defining characteristic of gay millennials: we straddle the pre-Glee and post-Glee worlds. We went to high school when faggot wasn't even considered an F-word, when being a lesbian meant boys just didn't want you, when being nonbinary wasn't even a remote option. We grew up without queer characters in our cartoons or Nickelodeon or Disney or TGIF sitcoms. We were raised in homophobia, came of age as the world changed around us, and are raising children in an age where it's never been easier to be same-sex parents. We're both lucky and jealous. As the state of gay evolved culturally and politically, we were old enough to see it and process it and not take it for granted--old enough to know what the world was like without it. Despite the success of Drag Race, the existence of lesbian Christmas rom-coms, and openly transgender Oscar nominees, we haven't moved on from the trauma of growing up in a culture that hates us. We don't move on from trauma, really. We can't really leave it in the past. It becomes a part of us, and we move forward with it.
For LGBTQ+ milennials, our pride is couched in painful memories of a culture repulsed and frightened by queerness. That makes us skittish. It makes us loud. It makes us fear that all this progress, all this tolerance [...] can vanish as quickly as it all appeared.
The 2000s Made Me Gay, Grace Perry
Coming from a reference group where everyone’s first queer movie was either Rocky Horror or Brokeback Mountain, it’s fascinating to talk (in person!) to gay teenagers who grew up with Korra and Stephen Universe and She-Ra.
It struck me recently that my first real exposure to any kind of queer culture was when I went to university because people my age were raised and taught in England under Section 28, which has also led to a huge amount of people finding out later in life where they sit on the sexuality and gender spectrum with the increased awareness of today.
not me still psyching myself up to watch the roswell premiere, no way.
I heard that Cassandra Clare’s lawyers are trying to take down any pages that reference her history of plagiarism…so here’s some fandom history: Cassandra Claire is a bully and a plagiarist.
Oh hell no, she does not get to be one of the most (in)famous cases of fandom fuckery in the history of modern fandom and then just make it all go away because she made money doing exactly the same damned thing to an already published author.
Oh, damn, the law clearly indicates that now that I’ve seen this post I must re-read her story. Sorry, everyone.
The plagiarism link no longer works - she got to them guys :(
Remember when she was kicked off fanfiction.net because of plagiarism? Because that was fun. Because that was still the era when hardly anyone got kicked off ff.net. That was when they still allowed all sorts of shenanigans. Remember how her friends had to club together to make a website that they controlled so she could post her fic unrestricted by morals and/or the law? And used her plagiarised quotes (such as “cold-blooded piece of toast”) as one of the markers of your posting count/user level on their forums? That was such fun as well!
Oh, how she denied it. Oh, how she said it was purely ‘pastiche’. Oh how she unleashed her winged monkeys by saying “these people are saying I’m a plagiarist wah wah wah!” and standing by and watching as those winged monkeys ripped innocent people to ribbons. There was doxxing. There was harassment. There was baiting.
We who lived through it, we do not forget.
Updated link about Cassandra Claire’s plagiarism <3
I was on LiveJournal when she was. We never crossed paths, but the edges of our fandom social circles touched. Even then she was renowned as a lying, plagiarizing piece of shit. And these were the wild west days of internet fandom, when cancellation didn’t go much further than your local wank meme. Even to this day I have not read a single one of her books, watched any of the movies, or contributed to her finances by so much as a single penny. I have started working on a fandom museum exhibit about her, though, and oh boy she’s not gonna like that. Anyway if you want to support a fanfiction-author-turned-YA-author who’s actually a complete and total sweetheart and did not plagiarize everything under the sun, please check out Marissa Meyer. This woman was my first beta when I was twelve years old (and remembered me many years later, to my surprise), and if for no other reason than her incredible patience and kindness in dealing with a lonely and overly-precocious kid who just kind of latched onto her, she deserves every bit of your clicks and money.

Anti Maria promo anon back with a few final grains of salt. It's bad enough they're putting in all this effort into as you said rehabilitating her character, but what's worse is the actress seriously undercut this yesterday by saying the episode with THAT scene is her favorite??!! Lady did you not read the room when that episode aired?? Are you not reading the room over a year later when people still can't talk about it without getting nauseous? Just why would you do that?
Welcome back my friend! Oh my god I just cannot deal with Heather, the woman lacks so much tact. I cannot believe she said that!! I didn't watch the panel and hadn't heard this but jeez not surprised. This is the same woman who responded to criticism about the threesome and how it was triggering to assault servers as "noise" 😣😣😣

Chapter 6 is up, friendos!

Do you ever just think about how El touching Billy's cheek is probably the only positive genuine affection he received in the entire show...
Ouch, thank you.
Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.
Reblog this if you will NOT use or support Post+.
I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.
me: new 😊 episodes 🥰 of rnm 😍 in less 😁 than a 😄 week 🥳 !!
also me: new 🙃 episodes 😑 of rnm 🙄 in less 😤 than a 🤬 week 😒
Hi There 👋
As you might have noticed, we’re beta-testing something new: Tumblr Post+. What’s Post+? A big deal, for starters. Post+ is our new subscription feature that allows you to use our existing multi-media post form to create unique paid feeds or support other blogs by subscribing to theirs. Fear not, Tumblr will always be free to use, this is just a way to continue to empower unique voices and throw a little coin to your favorite artists, fanfic writers, or maybe even that one mashup Supernatural/Studyblr blog you’ve been following since 2016.
(3 a.m. infomercial voice) But wait, there’s more. We want to know every possible way we can make Post+ the best experience for you and your community. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Specifically, we want your thoughts on how you’d use a feature that provides a feed of exclusive posts on Tumblr. What would you like to see? Don’t be shy 👉👈. Get in touch. Do it often, if you like. We’re excited to hear your thoughts. And keep your eyes on this space (go ahead now, click follow ☝️). Teamwork makes the dream work, etc.
don't know why this post disappeared when I tried to reblog it the first time, but here, I did your survey :)
Adding onto this
Everyone do this actually, we all don't want this to become a thing, so fill out their survey and tell them exactly why. This is the official means of giving our feedback, use it.
That feeling when you get an ask from a real live person who is interested in the stuff you do on the internet for the first time is so unnerving.
But like. In a good way?
After your recent tags, I now can’t wait for chapter 10. I am enjoying your take on season 2 <3 Thank you for sharing!
wtf I never get anons??
But thank you so much! Sorry for the wait, but I'm not actually on my tumblr much these days. I just... appear from time to time.... and then vanish for a few months. It's my thing.
Chapter 10 isn't written yet, so it may not come out exactly that way, but it will be a very soft and sweet malex scene regardless.
I'm typing up chapter 8 literally right now. I really really hope I'll finish before the premier, but RL got to me more than I'd anticipated so I don't know if that's a realistic goal at this point. Ah, well.
fuck a break up, have you ever gotten emotionally attached to a scene and then realized it doesn’t work so you have to remove it from your story
It’s really admirable that we want to grow and improve ourselves in different ways! But it’s also important that we love or learn to love who we are now. Self love doesn’t magically happen after we change, so it’s important to start now. ❤
