⭕️❗️Y’all I finally made a side blog for our art so imma be reposting a bunch of old stuff there so uh maybe go look at that if you wanna @archives-art-archive :3
This might be the time to finally post all those old spider sans drawings we forgot about lol
Hey guys this is a really good video that got unfairly taken down for copyright and had to be reuploaded, please watch and share it! I think its a really important video for more people to see rn with the state of media literacy
Told my doctor and therapist about how the AI "trying to determine my age" will expose all the HIPPA covered private information that has passed through gmail and all the medical advice youtube videos they had linked over the years and the response was instantly "I will contact the other doctors here and lodge a formal complaint about it to HIPPA" Try this, tell your local librarians, teachers, doctors. Most people have not heard about this yet, that's how it is getting traction

easily introjecting fictive culture is watching a show and going "he's just like me fr" and then less than five minutes later going "he's right behind me isn't he" 👍

Love how I was away on vacation for a week and had very little internet interaction during it all only to come back and see the entire undertale fandom is freaking out about and bullying Sour-Apple-Studios about THEIR OWN AU AND CONTENT
I have never once considered making a patreon/kofi/whatever else despite wanting to so I could support my favorite artists but I haven't due to trying to save money since this economy super sucks but the fact Sour is gonna stop uploading Horrortale to the general public and only to patreon makes me wanna make one JUST for that and to support them because just... my god guys.
Plus from what I heard, the content they made was for MATURE PATREONS OF PATREON ONLY so obviously some people weren't mature about it. I haven't seen the picture because I don't have a patreon but I don't care about that!
Horrortale was and still is one of my favorite undertale AUs and what the artist chooses to make with THEIR OWN AU AND CHARACTERS won't change that.
I hope Sour doesn't lose heart and will get through this stupid fight happening between 10yr-olds because apparently no one can be mature about this, especially about an AU including FAMINE, DEATH, TORTURE AND CANNIBALISM
fuck me for thinking we were past this kind of behaviour as a fandom
So it looks like sour-apple-studios is stepping back from creating. Bullying a real human being over 'problematic' depictions of (not real!) characters... in an AU about murder and torture and cannibalism. Makes sense!!!
I've been in this fandom for a decade. It's absolutely fine to dislike a ship. It's absolutely fine to dislike a person because they ship something you don't like. Block whoever you like! Block wherever you like! Your future is yours to command.
But - and it's a big butt - issues always arise when you start to demand for the outright banning of certain subjects/depictions. It's a slippery slope toward right-wing thinking. Do you know who also outright bans the depictions of things they don't like, for the sake of 'protecting' certain groups? It's not the good guys.
Banning difficult subjects is EXTREMELY hard to do delicately. It's common knowledge that people who've experienced a lot of distress often find peace in creating disturbing art. When you ban people from creating around certain subjects, you inevitably accidentally target those who are most vulnerable.
I'm not a proshipper. But I'm also not an anti, either. Because I find it really weird and reductive to boil everyone down to 2 super strict boxes. I believe that, whether or not I like it or understand it, people should be free to create whatever they want.
Who decides what is and isn't 'bad'? Who decides what is and isn't 'allowed'? I don't know what's going on in someone's head. I'm not morally infallible. I'm not the arbiter of all that is/isn't 'good' in the world. And clearly, if you're bullying a real human being over fictional characters, neither are you.
anyway, I wish sour-apple-studios nothing but joy and love
This is also exactly the type of thinking that people who want to ban/censor AO3 have.
I personally do not care what you post, so long as you properly tag it/add proper warnings so I can avoid what I don't want to see. If no real people are being hurt, then a simple block/unfollow is all it takes.

Shout out to "i wanna socialize with my Internet friends but I don't have anything to talk about", gotta be one of my least favorite predicaments
im going crazy you have GOT to decouple romance/amatonormativity and marriage in your mind. you have GOT to understand that marriage is a legal document that protects you from exploitation especially if you are a woman or a stay-at-home anything. it is not some evil unique to heterosexual people. it is a legal document that says 'this is who i want in my hospital room when i die, this is who i want to have my stuff when i die, THIS PERSON OWES ME RECOMPENSE IF THEY KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE I LIVE IN"
You are not immune to being taken advantage of by your partner if you are queer. do not wind up homeless because your garbage live-ins name is on the lease and they decided to drop you like hot coals.
Adding to this:
This is why it is not assimilationist for gay/queer people to want to enshrine marriage rights in their country/region
Similarly, this is why polyamorous people are fighting for the right to have their relationships recognised by their states through marriage and/or similar agreements
Oh, and because on top of those aforementioned financial and medical protections, these laws also help you maintain connection to any kids you have and/or raise together!
I would go further and say, this is why we really should be looking to expand some of these rights so that marriage is NOT the only way they should be enshrined. (e.g. Why could I get married tonight to a guy I met this morning, and get him on my health insurance, but I cannot do the same for a sibling?)
Remember the fight for same sex marriage was never “we feel left out”, it was “we’re sick and not allowed to see each other. We’re dying and not allowed at the funeral. Someone who kicked me out at 14 just showed up for the first time 24 years later to tell the doctor to pull the plug, and they did.”
Marriage is a legal documentation of rights. Fully agree with prev that those rights should be divested from the concept of monogamy entirely, but for now we have to at least understand what they are
I need the tumblr kiddos to understand that when my wife and I got married in 2013 we had to plan our vacations to ensure we only visited states where our marriage was legal, because otherwise if my wife got sick (not unlikely, she has multiple chronic conditions) I might not even be allowed to visit her in the hospital.
Every older queer you know who is in a longterm relationship will have similar stories of how we planned our whole lives to protect what would have been granted nigh automatically if we were heterosexual.
Marriage is a legal status that confers certain protections and rights, and until societies introduce other ways to get those protections and rights, we need it even if we hate it as an institution.
This is true btw
the podcast If Books Could Kill has a really great episode on the original book and its legacy! just a bunch of misogynist evangelical bullshit really
I want to clarify something kind of important because this kinda used to be my field. The concept that people express and feel love in different ways, and that this might lead to misunderstandings, IS something with scientific merit. The idea that there are just five and we know what they are is NOT. The idea that people have a primary love language is NOT.
In science, we have a saying. All models are wrong, but some are useful. That’s how I see the love languages framework. It is inherently flawed, but some of its concepts are useful. Communicate with your partner what makes you feel loved and understand what makes them feel loved. Understand how your partner shows love. There is immense value in that. But don’t over-index on which one of the five you are. That part doesn’t matter.
watching children successfully and compassionately self-mediate conflict and wondering if it's possible to pinpoint where exactly it all goes wrong for us
group of kids aged ~4 to ~8. little boy starts crying. the group descends from all corners of the play room and start by asking him if he's okay, if he got hurt. they tell him it's okay to cry if he's feeling sad or mad, it's okay, it's all okay.
they ask him if he wants to talk about it because they can solve their problems together. they have perfected empathetic tone modulation and sympathy sharing. ("my sister takes toys when it's not her turn and it makes me mad and i cry too. it's okay to cry if you're mad.") their clumsy little hands are patting him on the back and hugging at his arms. we are a species of immaculate mimicry.
he says jessica was mean to him. 3 of them who know jessica agree that jessica is never ever mean, so they posit that perhaps there was maybe an accidentally communication error ("maybe you didn't mean to say something that hurt her feelings! it's okay! it was nobody's fault if you did!") or that maybe jessica is having a bad day. they are working together to completely remove blame from the situation, effectively cooperatively de-escalating. there's a little bit of talking over each other, but no one puts down anyone else's ideas. if they do disagree, they subtly "yeah that, but also maybe—" to it so no one feels like their idea was stupid or bad or wrong. i don't even think they know they're doing it. inclusivity requires absolutely no thought or effort.
they hunt down jessica and bring her to the tribunal. jessica is also treated to blame cancelling, comforting touches, lack of judgement, and sympathetic tones. they ask her if she's feeling okay. they tell her she made arjun cry "accidentally and not on purpose" and they want to fix what happened.
jessica and arjun stand opposite in a circle of very concerned little faces eager to problem solve. jessica (crying) says she didn't like the way arjun was playing. arjun (also crying) says he didn't know because she didn't tell him the rules. jessica says she's sorry. arjun says he's sorry. they hug it out. the group is very excited to have successfully solved conflict and immediately announce they'll be doing a new activity, all together.
i clean up the play area and wonder what they'll all be like in 20 years.
This is what baby humans look like when healthy conflict resolution is modeled to them. This is the natural, non-traumatized state of humans.
Conversely, having worked with children removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect, I can tell you that baby humans who have had grossly maladaptive behaviors modeled to them (Such as 'It is ok for me to hit you, because I am bigger than you and you did not obey me' for example) do not resolve conflict in the healthy way described above.
I would amend that this is the NURTURED state of humans. The adults in their lives have made the effort to model this, and probably done so against their own personal history. It was not the cultural norm for USamerican boomers, certainly not in white households. This is the result of adults making a positive choice in parenting/caregiving, which is why it may be unfamiliar to today's adults. And that means maybe, it didn't all go wrong for you, and you can still do the work; and maybe it won't go all wrong for these young'uns, either.
Nurtured is the natural state of humans; we should not normalize trauma and abuse just because it's common.

I wanna share my opinion on this whole 'situation' with SourAppleStudio. This is MY opinion!! U can block me or ignore the post if u disagree, or argue with my points, whatever lol
IMO, I think it’s unfair to put SourAppleStudio in the same category as problematic Undertale community creators who groom kids and stuff.
First off, I don’t see an issue with taking NSFW art commissions (16+), or even drawing that kinda content—as long as the characters are adults. And yeah, I also don’t care if one (or all) of the characters are aged up. The point is, they’re not kids, end of story.
Second, canceling SourAppleStudio is dumb and way too toxic, bro. I get that you’re upset, but why are you spewing venom like the creator of Horrortale was out here grooming minors? It’s wild to me that y’all blew up a whole drama over nothing. Also, ditching a character/AU over something this petty is just… funny to me. I’ve been a hardcore Horror!Sans and Horrortale fan for 6 years, and I’m not about to drop something that means so much to me just ‘cause some people can’t separate fiction from reality. My perception’s fine, thanks.
Third, nobody gave y’all permission to claim this AU as public property. Respect the creator’s rights, even if you "don’t wanna". And trying to make Horror!Sans’ personality/behavior "community property" is even dumber. I hate fanon ‘cause it turned Horror!Sans into some cutesy bastard, a chef who eats everything in sight, or an “alpha male”—it’s gross. Y’all wanna make it worse? Go ahead, but don’t cry later when you’re sick of the cringey fanon you helped create.
Twitter cancel culture is the most miserable, braindead thing ever ‘cause this whole "situation" is made-up drama. And the Undertale community’s way too sensitive—y’all see something "problematic" everywhere. You scream about hating proship/comship/darkship, but then u turn around and ship selfship/selfcest/oc x canon/crackship like?? The double standards are ridiculous, lmao.
To wrap it up: I’m not a proshipper or anti, I’m a neutralshipper—I couldn’t care less about shipping ‘cause I’ve got better things to do than argue over who pairs up with who. I’m not friends with SourAppleStudio, just an independent anon online sharing my take on this mess. Got questions for me? Ask away—I’ll happily answer.
If you agree with me, I’d love a like or reblog (whatever floats your boat). If not? Ignore me or drop a constructive counter-argument in the replies.
Буду очень рада, если кто-нибудь из рунет сегмента андертейла скажет, что нибудь про это. Если есть можете писать в лс/комментарии! (for ru community)
Peace out, stay healthy & happy ^_^
