Me waiting for one of the three fics featuring my rarepair to update. It's been three whole months. It's gonna remain unfinished and I will starve.

How to give your rare pair writer extra kudos.

nonbinary representation is trans representation and it's not "less progressive" or "less important". nonbinary people get to see ourselves too. i love all my trans siblings and we all deserve to be seen as our identities.

the use of AI lately has made me feel so hopeless, i translated pages of an unfinished fanzine of mine so i can remember why i love art...i hope it can resonate with anyone feeling the same way

I love the humor but also that he's not hurting the little guy by putting any weight on him whatsoever

Exclamation marks, but instead of a huge line of them, we do like Roman numerals of them.

You know. To save space.

*looking at myself in the mirror*

Fanfiction is supposed to be cringy. You're allowed to write bad. You're allowed to be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be self indulgent. You're allowed to be cringe. Let yourself be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be fun. Stop putting arbitrary rules on yourself and be free.

[hellsquills]

Too frequently these days I find myself not doing things in fear of being cringey, so please aak yourself this question:

Is it cringe, or is it genuine?

It's hard to do genuine things, because it means putting your true self out there, and sometimes we don't like that self. And so, we call it cringe to make fun of it, hoping people will laugh with us instead of at us.

PLEASE don't equate being genuine with being cringe. Being genuine is writing and drawing self-indulgent stuff, rambling in the tags of someone else's post or commenting five times on a row. Being cringe is making fun of someone else's work, stealing art and being an asshole to others.

Don't be cringe. Be genuine.

Write that idea that you're rotating in your brain.

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

[somepositivityforyou]

You should be proud of yourself for getting by, even if you think you’re just barely managing. That’s still admirable and something to be proud of.
