Meowzy can't draw, Meowzy can't draw!~

My blog of fandom-related thingermajigs! Reblogs aplenty! What fandom am I hyperfixating on this month? Let's find out!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Chapters: 7/7 Fandom: Wicked (Movies 2024 2025) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Boq & Fiyero Tigelaar, Boq & Cowardly Lion & Dorothy Gale & Fiyero Tigelaar Characters: Fiyero Tigelaar, Boq (The Wicked Years) Additional Tags: offscreen major character death, Angst, Grief, emotional detachment, mild body horror in a way only Tin Man and Scarecrow could produce, depression-coded behavior, Found Family Summary:

Long after the Wicked saga, Scarecrow returns to the Land of Oz to walk the yellow brick road once more, only to find one of his old friends stuck in place. 'Heartless', 'brainless', 'coward'... Those are hefty labels. What lessons did they learn during their journey to see the Wizard with Dorothy back then, and do they still remember them now?

Now finished, clocking in at 7 chapters,  31,664 words! I had a lot of fun writing this, delving further into these characters and including a few winks to the 1939 movie (as well as Return to Oz). If you wanna read it as shippy, you can, but I kept it very purposefully focused on mending a broken friendship.

And who is the guy burying him in the sand

I always thought Reddit was a place where people could share things they created.A few days ago I posted one of my original paintings. People loved it. We had wonderful conversations about art, emotions, and how everyone saw something different in the same sunset.

About two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”

I accepted that different communities have different rules.But then something even stranger happened.Soon afterward, a moderator from r/pics started going through my account. Not just the new post—many of my older painting posts disappeared as well. One after another. Then I was permanently banned there too.

Maybe it was the same moderator. Maybe it wasn’t. I honestly don’t know.

What surprised me wasn’t even the ban itself. It was realizing how much power individual moderators have over what millions of people are allowed to see. One decision can erase years of posts from a community and instantly cut off your ability to participate, even if those posts had been happily sitting there for months or years.I’m not saying moderators shouldn’t have rules. Communities need moderation.But it does make you wonder where the line is between protecting a community and allowing a single interpretation of the rules to completely reshape what people can share.

The funny part?

I wasn’t advertising anything in those posts. I wasn’t posting prices or asking anyone to buy anything. I was simply sharing my original paintings because I enjoy discussing art with strangers from around the world.

Anyway…

Here’s the painting that apparently caused all the trouble. 🎨

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.

[thetrekkiehasthephonebox]

the second best is the one the author used to work through some issues.

[mikkeneko]

the third best is the one the author wrote out of spite due to some really dogshit discourse going on in their fandom

What Do You Want, Paul? The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals (2025 Remount)

[srosehh]

people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago

[cha-melodius]

Bringing this out of the tags:

A fic written 2 years ago is NOT OLD. Two years is nothing. Two years ago was yesterday.

Also I don't care if a fic is 10 years old. Leave those comments!! Even if you think the author isn't active, or moved on from the fandom, I promise you it will make them smile.

[ellowynthenotking]

I commented on a fic that was 11 years old, and there was already a response by the time I got up the next morning. Comment on the fics, please, comment on them, I promise it'll make the author's day either way

[vashtijoy]

I got a comment on a fic of mine this week that just read "TWO THOUSAND AND NINE?"

I replied to it within seconds, of course. someone commented on my fic

[tonyglowheart]

As @pentapoda put it in this post:

(transcript: Every time someone comments on my old fic, i feel like I'm an old actor getting paid residuals. Appreciate you, old-fic-commenters. Key source of emotional income, tbh.)

What it feels like to post a fanfic chapter after being writer's blocked and struggling for far too long with it

Watched the guy who didn't like musicals in London a few weeks ago. It was fucking transcendent. Have been very normal about it since

[chaos-frog]

If I sold prints would anyone buy them? How much should I charge??

[iwikpines]

[nova-ish]

So excited to be thinking about the implications again!!!!!!

[shnikkles]

I feel like I should be alright to post these now. I had the privilege of making some merch for Team Starkid's reprised run of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals! These were all made into stickers that you could grab if you happened to catch the show at the El Portal Theatre. It was SO much fun getting to make these for the fine folks over at Starkid. I love the Hatchetfield universe so much and being trusted to design these in an official capacity was truly such a joy!
