i love how in every high school au neil is always a bit of a manic pixie dream girl: he’s mysterious, he’s hot, he’s athletic, everyone is in love with him but he only talks to like one person (kevin), he has a questionable past he doesn’t talk about, he rejects everyone that is brave enough to ask him out

and andrew is always just like. a guy

“Leave,” Jean echoed. “We are only two games into the season.”

“I hate this sport,” Browning said to his partner. “Explain to me why they’re all like this.”

—The Golden Raven

Agent Browning just doesn’t know the triumphs & defeats, the epic highs & lows of collegiate level exy.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

I will always love the characters height in aftg. Cause usually in books all the male characters are somehow taller than the female characters. And if by some miracle a male character is short, they're usually described as petite/weak/cute and not that intimidating. But aftg? Neil is 5'3, the twins are 5'0, and all of the girls are taller than them. And Neil is the son of a serial killer, Aaron committed murder to protect his brother, and Andrew is self-explanatory.

If one day the concentration of pills in Andrew’s blood finally hit the absolute limit and he completely lost his mind... his coming-out would sound like this:

Monsters: *all getting ready for bed* Andrew, already tucked in: Isn’t it cool how we all sleep differently? Andrew: Like, Kevin sleeps on his side Andrew: and I sleep with guys Andrew: *turns off the light* Aaron: WHAT THE FU—

pros of being an artist:

cons of being an artist:

-when im Not making art i feel like im being boiled in oil

I love reading fanfics where one character is tagged as jealous, but their partner is unlovable to anyone but them. Like.. calm down, sweetheart, no one wants your man. We're still trying to figure out why you want your man.
