You cannot stop me; I have not begun!

they/them • adult DON'T COME IN, I'M NAKED! This is my gremlin corner to rapidly reblog piles of fanart for stuff I like and to sometimes read and contribute to discussion about stories, shows, and games. Ship/kink safe.

STARRBAR

└─── °∘❉∘° ───┘

Hi, nice to meet ya! I'm Starr (they/them), over 27, nonbinary and autistic. Queer as in Fuck You! C:

A quick rundown of what to expect! ↓

Reblog binges of whatever my fixation is.

Art may include gore, but won't include smut because Tumblr.

I currently check replies, but I only check reblogs selectively. Asks are closed due to bots. If you NEED to reach me, my DMs are open.

Frequent Tags ↓

#starrspeaks is my OP tag

#starr.art is my art tag, but all future art will be posted to @spitefulbrim!

#anti vs. pro stuff for anti-/pro-ship "discourse"

#realworldblues as a mutable tag for my dear friend (usually for heavy topics like bad news about the world or intense conflict)

#ref for any kind of resources or references

A more thorough warning ↓

If you are against “proshipping” (or rather, the false definition going around that boils down to “immoral ships/kinks”), I’m sure you feel that way out of a desire to protect the vulnerable (especially minors and survivors of abuse), and I appreciate that, but it’s very important for you to be aware that those views very easily slip into anti-progressive / reactionary territory, and you should be alarmed by that. And you should be willing to look the ugly truth in the face before you continue to stand by those views. So if you truly care about reducing harm, please consider reading [this breakdown] of what I mean.

And if you're interested in learning more about fandom puritanism, I maintain a big sources hub about it.

Where to find me ↓

I'll get back to ya on that! Currently re-organizing my accounts a bit.

Negative rant incoming, regarding this:

I'm sorry, but Gooseworx saying that making a cartoon was "more trouble than it's worth" REEKS of privilege and it pisses me off more than I expected.

Does she understand how many people would sell their fucking legs to see their passion project come to life and be beloved? So many people will never get to see that. And not only did Goose do that, but now she's set for life. She'll be able to make anything she wants and have a whole team backing it.

While many of us are over here forced to only work on our art and stories in between exhausting and degrading full time jobs, sometimes with the only reward being whatever pride we can muster up in ourselves, she won. She did the thing. I'm scared I won't be able to finish ONE of my stories before I die whereas she could easily go on to make many more without being dragged down by the shitty obligations most of us are stuck with nor the burden of having to prove to the world that her stories are worth telling.

The TADC fandom sucks ass, yes, but so does every fandom. Every fandom is full of overly parasocial idiots who think their favorite author is on "their side" specifically and then they throw a fit when said author contradicts that. The mistake Goose made was thinking she could get a mob of assholes with no critical thinking skills to behave instead of maintaining a healthy distance from what that mob thinks.

For the record, I've always thought Goose's takes were based as hell. She rejects the typical fandom bullying and creep behavior, even to the point of not falling for attempts to claw fun facts about her characters out of her for the purpose of using them against fans who have different interpretations of the characters (see: the "you gotta tell us their sexualities" ask being met with "no"), but she's also not afraid to say, "hey, maybe consider dying if you're a bigoted piece of shit".

If I ever "make it big", I want to be like that. This isn't a "cancel Goose" post. We need MORE authors speaking out against the typical garbage fandoms produce to hurt each other, and Goose is a breath of fresh air in that regard.

I'm just bothered by how many people are like "uwu poor innocent Goose, it's so heartbreaking that the FANS made her get burnt out on TADC!" Because no, burnout happens for more complex reasons than that (hi, I got burnt out on one of the stories I love the most due to getting overwhelmed on my own after years of getting tangled in too many confusing story decisions, thanks), the fans are as insufferable as any other fandom ("just do what Toby Fox does" and his fandom is still vile, just not as vile to him as they are to each other), and frankly the backlash to Goose going "who carrrrres" (about the leaking of the entire TADC finale) is fully warranted.

"who cAres" that people flocked to shove money down your throat for something they can now see for free early anyway? buddy?????

anyway I'm done kicking the hornet's nest for the day.

Take it easy, y'all. I'm gonna go back to drawing in my cave in between dragging my zombie ass through my daily retail shifts so that I even have the luxury of sitting on the couch drawing for any amount of time.

Lmao we have to fucking destroy this company are you fucking kidding me with this shit

Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

[probablysomethingtm]

Remember that xkcd about how Google searches are shit now? What if we made them even worse for no reason?

[probablysomethingtm]

I will vote for any candidate who promises to go scorched fucking earth on every tech company. Break every single one of them up into companies based around a single product and then split those in thirds. Weaponize existing antitrust laws to the hilt and pass the most draconian versions of them ever seen on this planet. Nationalize google search specifically. Pass consumer privacy protections strict enough to kill the data harvesting industry for good. Make all of these fuckers go bankrupt for this rent-seeking shit

lmao Fuck scammers! Stealing my moot's account and then deleting it when I called your dumb ass out. Thanks for fucking over someone ELSE'S BLOG that they might have cared about, shithead!!!

Anyway yeah, remember not to fall for any of your friends or moots claiming to have "accidentally reported your account, oh no, go message this random Discord account to sort it out!" It's bullshit.
