i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.

Not gonna lie I kinda hate the compulsion in fandom to shove every relationship into rigid definition boxes. Every relationship is either parent-child, siblings or romantic. Come on. Relationships are so much more complex than that. Do you at least have friends.

Had a dream the main streamer i watch (Ray) played wizard101. For some reason the game had voice chat. Also his guild was named Club Sandwiches? And most of the time was spent trying to put up paintings in the tiny dorm room and the painting textures changed depending on where they were put

reading problematic fanfiction but shaking my head so random tumblr user who thinks thought crimes are real knows I don't condone it in real life

fictional characters can't consent because they aren't real.. but YOU can consent to reading heavy themes, and you can withdraw consent by clicking the back button and stopping any time, it is your choice to read stories that include or exclude consent 👍

I love when puritans are so far up their ass they circle back to being more perverted than the original concept

there is no disorder out there that makes you automatically a bad person, absolutely none. you will always have autonomy over your decisions even when said disorder impacts your thinking and logic. you are never doomed to be a cruel person who causes harm, you do have autonomy and agency over your destiny. no mental disorder will ever change that.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness

Your fandom job is now female character defense attorney. Which female character(s) are you picking and why for bonus points?

[life-mage-wolf]

"Night was created with the day; Order is supported this way" "Thus I am no scourge; Embrace the Shadow, little Theurge" - Shadow Seraph

Artist's notes and progress:

Wolf loves bugs, even has a special interest in them. Despite all of this, moths are disgusting to him. Something about the fuzziness and chirps freak him out.

The reality is that Wolf is terrified of change, things out of his control, leaving oneself vulnerable in relationship with others. An odd thing considering his affinity to life magic and values rooted in community. The subconscious mind, as revealed by one's shadow, is a interesting place and at times, hard to face.

Through this relationship, it matters so much that the Young Wizard faces themselves to draw power from their shadow.

Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.

Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.

Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!

Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

goddd I love biological horror. i love body horror. I love when the thing you’re fighting changes you and changes the world around you simply because that is what it does. I love when you have to face up against a force so huge and powerful that it can barely even be measured in human timescales. i love delving deeper and deeper into a mystery and finding that it’s always been there and it will always continue no matter what we do to try to stop it. i love when humans are insignificant. I love when you look in the mirror and it’s changed you in ways no one could have predicted. i love when it’s awe inspiring and surreal and beautiful.

i love horror that’s not malicious it simply exists because there is no reasoning with things like that just as you cannot convince the sun to rise on your command. I love when we’re reminded of our true scale in the grand scheme of things— subatomic particles on a dust speck floating through an infinite sea. i love it I love it i love it.
