Hey all! Pixie here! :D
I’m going to work on a proper pinned post later, but for now, let it be known that I have a long chain post from when I was live-blogging about a janky and chaotic theater production I went to see.
If you’d like, you can block it from your feed by filtering out the tag #MuchAdoAboutBarbie
Have a good weekend! I’ll update this properly at some point soon!
I'm sorry but I have one draft that I never finished but I laugh every time I see it

Unreliable everyone
VANELLOPE COSPLAY PROP PROGRESS!!! \o/
For context, I’m building a hot pink one of these things as a baseball bat:
And for further context, I’m designing a version of Vanellope who gets stuck in Sugar Rush fighting cybugs, so she’s getting a kick ass candy apocalypse design 😎
Minor update! I added a second water bottle as a base, and I’m about 40% done with the main layer of crystals. Once I finish the main structure I’ll be going back in with smaller pieces to fill in the gaps and make it look like different sized sugar crystals grew between the bigger ones. So base first, detailing second :)
IT’S ACTUALLY WORKING????
Y’all I’m so hyped you don’t understand 😭

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.
I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."
Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."
That's a weird dragon you've got there, Gem.

“Daaad, c’mon…”
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder/PSA from your friendly neighborhood Pixiemage!
“Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” is too often (incorrectly) used as a cover-all tag, on fics ranging from Vaguely Uncomfortable to Serious Shit, as a replacement for any intense tags relating to the story. People will use it to say “Holy shit guys some INTENSE SHIT happens in this story” without actually saying what that Intense Shit™ is.
In actuality, the “Dead Dove” tag is meant to be used in addition to other warning tags. Pulled from a scene from the show Arrested Development (look it up on YouTube!), it means “Hi! Hey! I labeled this fic to warn you of what’s in it, so you might REALLY want to read those labels! This fic is exactly what it says on the tin! The tags are accurate! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because this is me warning you! Read the tags!”
So before you accidentally use the “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag without context, here’s your preemptive lesson for next time. Please tag your fics accordingly! Ta!
~ Pixie
grammatically speaking, "dead dove do not eat" in its original usage functions like an intensifier; it increases the emotional intensity of the other tags. It's like "very" or "extremely" or "incredibly," like those adverbs that can intensify adjectives. To say that your fanfiction is VERY or EXTREMELY is I guess some information, but to say it's VERY NON-CONSENSUAL or EXTREMELY GORY, or that a character in it is INCREDIBLY MANIPULATIVE, is much better information.
'Dead Dove Do Not Eat' was also, in its conception as a tag, a warning about how the other tags were going to be used -- that one should not expect problematic aspects to be examined or subverted. 'Dead Dove Do Not Eat' can be a statement of intent that the author means to roll around and wallow.
It's a bit like the fan fic equivalent of a film being advertised as a b-movie.
Exactly! This was the only part I wish I’d written better in the original post before people started sharing it around.
It doesn’t always mean the fic is horrific, but it does mean you need to assume that the tags you see are Unapologetically In The Story Proper and not just skimmed or mentioned or used for backstory/world building. When something is tagged normally, it could go either way, and some writers just mention them as a minor courtesy. DD:DNE is a specifier and emphasizer 👍
“One should not expect problematic aspects to be examined or subverted” is the perfect phrasing for this, yes. Because it also means there’s a chance that something problematic will happen, and the characters will NOT have some kind of scene saying why the thing is bad, or that they think it’s bad, even if the author agrees that it is, in fact, bad. It’s supposed to allow people to understand that something is going to be the troubling or toxic version of an intense thing without breaking the scene to do it.
Granted, some people in fandom have the reading comprehension of a snail, so there’s always gonna be judgmental commenters who slip through the cracks 😂 but hey, can’t catch everyone I guess lol

Chapter Word Count: 5,520 Fic Word Count: 19,530 Rating: T Relationships: Ozpin & Oscar Pine, Qrow Branwen & Oscar Pine Characters: Oscar Pine, Ozpin, Qrow Branwen [More To Be Added] Additional Tags: Oscar Pine-centric, Oscar Pine Needs a Hug, Parental Ozpin (RWBY), Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Shapeshifter Oscar Pine, Bird Qrow Branwen, Bird Oscar Pine, Dadpin, Birb Dad and Farm Son, but also in this one, Birb Dad and Birb Son, This started as a crack fic concept, Cute Bird Oscar AU, Bird Instincts, And like, Bird Lessons, For at least the first few chapters hahaha, Soul Bond, <- Familial, Canon-Typical Violence
Chapter Summary:
Qrow Branwen finds an injured fledgling on his journey through Mistral, and begrudgingly chooses to help it. Ruby would be disappointed if he didn't. Oscar Pine wakes up in a familiar place surrounded by familiar faces, but in a distinctly unfamiliar situation. It doesn't take him long to figure out he's not in Kansas anymore.
Fic Summary:
Salem’s eyes burned. “OZMA–!” Tick. Tock. Tick. Time slowed to a crawl, distorting the air around them. Ozpin was panting heavily, and Oscar could feel blood dripping from his nose, proof that he was pushing them both to their limit. Then a green light began to fill the room. It emanated outward from their chest, building in strength, almost blinding. The hum of magic soared in their souls and Ozpin quirked his lips in a small smile. “Let’s get you out of here,” he said softly. “What do you say?” Oscar let his presence lean against Ozpin’s in their shared mind, exhaustion and gratitude swirling in the soul link. ‘Please.’ Anywhere was better than here. OR: When Hazel helps Oscar escape from Salem, things go a little differently. Salem catches on too soon, Ozpin is desperate to get Oscar to safety, and the rescue party doesn't arrive. A rushed spell, a misplaced semblance, and a little bit of bad luck create a twist in fate that nobody - not even Ozma - could have predicted. (OR OR: Thanks to an escape attempt gone wrong, Oscar gets blasted back in time, drops out of the sky in Mistral, and lands at Qrow's feet. Oh, and he's been turned into a bird.)
According to my phone, I have big plans today
Happy hit Bdubs with my car day! :D

The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking
Me when I was like ‘I could write a short oneshot off this idea. Shouldn’t take me too long.’ So many months later and it ended as a 55k long two-shot
Short oneshot that won’t take long to write my ass
THAT’S JUST MEEEEE
