I just wanna know how the mechanisms in universe decided to perform their origin stories especially when it’s probably some of their deepest traumas. Cause like I can see Two options going down. Either it was it like let’s all have a slumber party and talk abt trauma and reenact it it’ll be healthy i prommy. Or it was it like Jonny I’m sharing this tragic backstory with you in confidence and then they walk in the next day to whatever room everyone is in and Jonny likes ok everybody from the top one two three (evil voice) IM THE GUY THAT KILLED MY FRIEND

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Obsessing over the idea of whumper having a partner, the sniper.

Whumper chasing an escaping whumpee, whumpee thinking they’re safe when out of nowhere they get shot in the leg/stomach/somewhere that makes it hard to run

The realization of a whumpee that there will always be an unseen enemy at whumpers command, ready to take them down

Whumper being caught and cornered by the police and before they can handcuff whumper, a headshot to one of the officers sends the rest of them into a panic leaving whumper smiling because whumper knows their partner never misses and they’re all fucked now.

when you find a friends oc hot thats literally it for you. they practically own your soul. youve entered a fail state in which they can put on a sockpuppet and do a silly voice and make you swoon like youve locked eyes with a gorgeous fortysomething dyke at the bar

WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE HORRIBLY:

Perhaps they ought not to have eaten the dragon. There had been people objecting to it at the time. Surely such meat was poisonous. Perhaps it was even an affront, an insult to some intangible order of nature they ought to honour.

But the city was starving, the siege had gone on too long, and the king's troops were still a week's march away. The scorched earth would be fertile again in time, but right now it was barren. Right now there were mouths to feed. So they changed their crossbows for butcher knives and got to work.

None of the royal commanders asked any questions that could not be answered. After all, their aid had come shamefully late. The dragon's horned skull made a noble gift, a fitting tribute from a triumphant city to its humbled king. Who would have thought to question them?

And none of the townsfolk spoke up, when the first golden-eyed babes were born. Children who grew up barefoot and fearless, clambering over the city's patched and rebuilt roofs like they had no notion of falling, with a strange glitter to their skin when the sunlight hit it just so. No one breathed a word about dragons.

Because soon enough there were deft, young hands taking loaves straight out of the oven, heedlessly lifting iron from the forge, plunging into boiling laundry water. And some of them more wondrous still, wild, warm-skinned youths, with inexplicable knowledge and peculiar remedies.

A blessing, their families said proudly. A blessing after so much hardship. Which it was, in its way. This city would never fear dragon fire again.

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

embervoices

Fandom encompasses a whole lot more than the writing and reading of fanfic, or even the creating and consuming of fanworks in general.

First and foremost, fandom is community. That's WHY fandom is sharing.

It happens that we, as a community, have many hobbies, some of which produce things which our fellows may then further enjoy - writing, art, crafts, costumes, games, music, videos, etc. - but the soul of fandom isn't the fanworks, per se, it's the gathering around the thing we're all fans of.

We, the writers, the artists, the costumers, the filkers, the con-runners, are not doing this for you.

We are doing it for us, and you are one of us.

Whumper goes to put down the whip, changing weapon for the umpteenth time today and suddenly, Whumpee is very tired, and everything feels very pointless.

It takes him a few tries to speak, his voice hoarse from screaming and refusing to work the first few times.

"Wait-"

Whumper turns slowly, hands still on the whip. Their face is blank, as always, but they turned, and so Whumpee goes on. His mouth opens once, twice, but as tired and aching as he is, it's not easy to let Whumper win.

They turn away, and Whumpee feels like he's lost his chance. They fold the whip carefully, setting it down quietly before reaching for the taser. And then -

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sir- "

Whumper turns slowly, taking a few steps towards Whumpee. They stop just out of his reach - but he's not out of theirs - arms dropped to the side. Whumpee waits as they consider him, hoping to finally see that glint of satisfaction in their eyes.

They take a single step forward.

"Say it properly."

He uncurls a little, trying to sound even more pathetic and sorry than before. "I'm really sorry-" Whumper's arm moves and Whumpee only has time to think, 'oh it was a taser-gun' before his head hits the floor as he barely holds back a scream.

The current stops and he pants, still twitching.

"Say it. Properly."

They give him a few moments, enough for him to understand what is it they want. He struggles to push himself to his knees : he has to uncurl and his back screeches at him for that, one of his shoulders is painfully pulled behind him by a chain, and the only hand he can support himself with is at the very least sprained. His balance is off and he almost face-plants, putting more pressure onto his hand than he'd like to prevent that.

He bends forward as low as the chain will allow him. "I'm sorry, sir." His voice breaks again, but this time there are tears in his eyes to accompany it. "Please, forgive me."

Whumper neither moves nor speaks for a bit, and Whumpee doesn't dare to look up - out of fear and pain both. They take a step forward and he closes his eyes tightly. A hand grips his chin, tilting his face roughly. He opens his eyes and finds himself staring into Whumper's, which finally - finally - contain some sort of emotion.

"Thank you, Whumpee. Of course I forgive you."

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

marat

Drawing challenge: draw your favorite male characters like this

thatdemonbish

this is exactly why i’m a huge fan of posemaniacs!

you get 3d model pose references with the option of having a male or female anatomy for each pose

they have a WIDE VARIETY of poses that you can search for using a TAG SYSTEM

(as you can see by the scroll bar in the second image there is Even More Tags)

you can select a pose you like for larger viewing and the convenience doesn’t stop!!!

you have full 360 viewing range of the pose plus zooming in and out

and what’s that? a TOOLBAR?? MENU?? THING??

Correct!

the eye button hold a very fun menu

negative space blacks out the background and fills the pose with a solid white silhouette

the “texture” refers to the skin situation of the model with the “color” and “grey” shown below

(i usually use color personally)

then there’s the option of different sized drawing grids(4 and 16 below)

idk wtf bounding box is about but it looks like this if it matters to you

“floor” toggles all shadows on the floor, “floor grid” you guessed it puts a like perspective guide grid on the floor that goes to forever, and “shadow” toggles ALL shading. there is NO lighting happening if you turn that off. NONE.

NEXT ITEM! that box thing with the line through it? flips the pose horizontally.

the little person symbol? lets you switch anatomies

camera icon? you can choose from a selection of preset camera angles PLUS an option for … idk what to call it but you can do this!

less flat right!! i’m sure there’s a word i just don’t know but this is maximum *that* so there is less *that* if you want it

the lightbulb gives you a menu like the camera one but it offers a selection of lighting styles with variable intensity

CHARMING!

and that’s not even everything this site provides!!!!!!! they have tutorials, instructional videos, lessons, all sorts of shit!!! (although they are vast majority if not all in japanese just a heads up)

AND ITS ALL FREE

DONT EVEN NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT OR APPROVE OF COOKIES JUST GET IN DO YOUR THING GET OUT NO STRINGS ATTACHED

and if you don’t have ad blocker or are on mobile(like me) NOT TO WORRY

the ads are few and far between! ZERO video ads, NONE take over your screen or glitch you at all, they are of no concern i forget they’re there!

(this is not at all sponsored btw i’m just a genuine fan of this site and i’m happy to spread the good word unprompted)
