I think I need to say this:

Whatever you think of the new guy, if you like him or not or whatever you’re feelings are:

They are valid and nobody takes them away.

Just.. don’t hate, okay?

Making a little fun, joking around, it‘s all fine.

But don’t yuck other’s yums, alright?

Stay nice and kind, let Valko have his girls. No need to harass others or to send hate or whatever.

Please, and thank you 💖

I know Astarion is technically a chaotic goose but imagine if he was a cat. He would be that cat.

(I apologize to my OPM followers but I'm drooling over another fictional man right now, I'll be back with OPM content very soon)

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

The Legend of Korra ended with Korra and Asami holding hands so Arcane could have Caitlyn and Vi go absolutely feral in a jail cell today

What a difference 10 years of representation makes

people who read other people's fanfics and see themselves as fanfic writers' "customers" may be one of the most unpleasant people you'll encounter in fandom space.

as a fanfic writer, no, I do not write for you. I write for me. I just post my stuff online for people to read, but that's an act of kindness, it's not "me trying to please you". if you like what I write and if you support me and are kind to me, then I appreciate you. from the bottom of my heart.

but if you don't like what I write, that is fine too. that just means my works are not for you (well, they are for me, the writer. I write for my own enjoyment first and foremost), you can quietly leave, find something else to read. or, better yet, write what you want to read yourself.

you are not fanfic writers' "customers". you read their works for free because they're kind enough to share their works for free. you're reading someone else's hobby. if you keep being rude and entitled to fanfic writers, one day you'll end up with no fics to read, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

for the hundredth time, treat fanfic writers and fan artists with respect, or stay quiet.

I have a need to read fanfics of Sylus being a feminist icon.

I'm seeing a whole bunch of misogyny on twitter (more than usual) and the comfort of knowing Sylus would never is something I need.

I’ve been gravitating away from digital art and have been doodling in my sketchbook again! This was a doodle from work. I’m playing around with designing a new persona character for myself.

I was going to post this tomorrow, because it has been a long day, but after watching yet another meltdown on another website that could have been avoided, I feel the need to bestrow the one piece of advice you need to function online.

You need to fucking block people.

I mean it. Shithead in your comments? Block them. Someone with an annoying fandom opinion? Block them. Guy cluttering up the tags with a weird crossover idea? Block all of them.

Anti-block culture is a fucking conspiracy designed to make you a target of harassment. Block people for any reason whatsoever. If you're worried about hurting someone's feelings, you can always unblock them later. Mute posts if you can't bring yourself to block someone, but you must be willing and able to disengage from bullshit that threatens to suck you in.

No one is entitled to see your shit. Turn those privacy settings on and trim your feeds of constant annoyances. It's not about them, it's about your comfort. You've gotta make your online spaces a place you want to be in, and blocking people will help.

"Thank goodness, you are safe."

I’ve started catching up on Fields of Mistria, and I finally broke a certain seal in the mines. So to celebrate, I had to sketch our exhausted dragon !

“You are responsible for the minors in your fandom!!!”

No, I’m fucking not. I’m not your parent. My past-times do not automatically sign me up to act in loco parentis. If you need someone else to monitor your own content consumption online, go get mommy and/or daddy to set up a content blocker on your computer.

Louder for the minors in the back, please.

What I’m responsible for in my fandom:

1. Making a good faith effort to include relevant and informative tags and labels on my creative works.

2. Making a good faith effort to use the “author chose not to warn” rating, a “contains potentially upsetting content” note, cuts or community ratings, or otherwise indicating that there might be untagged, triggering content if I’m not up to or don’t want to tag it.

3. Being a good fandom citizen; not sending death threats or hate, not bullying people, being kind and thoughtful to those I interact with, and leaving alone things that would prompt me to act otherwise.

4. Curating my own experience; not engaging with people or material that I know will be harmful or upsetting to me, disengaging when I realize that something is harmful or upsetting to me, and using tools such as blocklists and tag filters to hide content I don’t want to see.

5. Doing the opposite of whatever the fuck bullshit is going on in tiktok at all times.

Being a good fandom citizen; not sending death threats or hate, not bullying people, being kind and thoughtful to those I interact with, and leaving alone things that would prompt me to act otherwise.

It is simply JUST that easy. All the fandom shit exists because people choose to behave badly and it’s too often younger ones holding fandom spaces as societal influence & activism spaces instead of a HOBBY SPACES.
