I Hope My Love Was Someone Else’s Solid Ground

Sara. She/her Fan Fic writer. Multi shipper. Give me all the bad ass female characters. Probably too old to be a fan girl, but it makes me happy and life’s too short.

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

[depodraws]

Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.

I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.

I honestly hadn't stopped to think about this until I saw this post... I used to think people would get annoyed if they were notified everytime someone posted a comment on their art. I never thought about it being like fanfiction and that they might appreciate comments. Frick, that means I'm part of the problem on here. Thats gotta change.

Every tag, every comment, every reblog with some kind of reaction/opinion or even just one word. All of these things are precious to creators!

I spent countless hours reading and rereading tags full of love people left under my art. All the people i could gift a laugh to or even inspire with something I made mean more to me then you could ever know.

It's what makes me proud of my art!

And to think that you could have enjoyed my art in silence and I would have never known.

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

[rose-of-pollux]

Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s too bad you guys can’t see the story I’m making in my head right now. The vibes are pretty epic. Unfortunately I think if I write it down then it would actually turn out to be pretty lame

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

REBLOG IF YOU'RE A HUMAN AND YOU USE EM DASH

I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I’ve got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite.

Analyzing Siuan’s tattoos in more detail because of this tweet:

- We see in 01x06 the symbols Siuan has on her chest that relate to abundance and prosperity, and to the river which represents the duality of new life and gateway to death, together continuity of life - we see in the 02x07 childhood flashback that she has these tattoos already as a child so they are of course tied to her childhood on the river and perhaps the loss of her mother, but they also tell us early that she is the Daughter of the River and Water Itself that can never die

- Notably some of Siuan’s tattoos in that 02x07 White Tower flashback are about leadership/strength/protection/guidance/guile, giving us more background about her as a younger Aes Sedai and helping indicate why she may have made a good candidate for the Amyrlin Seat

- Siuan has the tattoo of the pigeons that represents mates helping each other in times of need (including risking their own lives for the other) before she and Moiraine even go to Gitara’s study

- The new tattoos that Moiraine remarks on in 01x06 are about being a leader/Amyrlin and otherwise focused on protection and guidance - including as a spiritual messenger/guide

- The glimpse of Moiraine’s tattoos in the alternate life she sees in Rhuidean seems to include rows of birds that would represent a long journey and safe return - we can also see the symbols for strength/protection/guidance/guile, as well as the river tattoo representing life, death, and continuity across the two planes

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

[fatmasc]

Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!

We will never not reblog this.

[nondelphic]

writing? oh, i’m definitely writing. in my head. during the most inconvenient times. like in the shower or when i’m about to fall asleep. actual typing? no, no, we don’t do that here.

[businesscasualprincess]

Also, while I am reading, listening to a podcast or audiobook, typing a work email, or anything else that really should have my priority attention... but nope, thinking about plot and dialogue instead.

Hey WoT fam. Questions. I’m about to blast some fanfic because that’s how I cope and I’ve gotten so many ideas for one shots from various posters on here, but they were just people blogging their feelings not requesting fic. My question is, do I tag you when I post? Do I leave it to fate that if you were interested in a fic of that topic you’ll find it? I don’t know the etiquette.

Also, please prompt me if you have ideas of what you’d like to read. Angst is my specialty.
