your art does not have to be 'good'

or anatomically correct (I prob didnt spell it right but it doesnt have to have exactly right anatomy)

It doesn't even need to be more than a scribbled line on paper

You created something. That counts.

#art #go forth and create #pen mightier than the sword and all that #paintbrush mightier than the sword really #this goes for all art btw #3d #painting #sketches #digital #music #writing #everything

hey there, since I’m writing a Bakugan fic myself, would you mind if I use some of your headcanons for vestal?

For examples, Vestals having blue blood? It just makes so much sense. But Id sooner bite my own fingers off than write without your consent.

Your headcanons about Vestals fascinated me truly <33

Hey you don't need my permission, we're all playing in the same sandbox here and you can do whatever you want forever <3

go for it

So, for clarification, I am absolutely still gonna be active here. I'm still working on quite a few different things. However, unfortunately, I am also a chronically ill human, so things are a little slow going at the moment.

- The 'Howl's Moving Castle' Catwin AU is absolutely being worked on and on its way (I just scrapped an illustration cause I didn't like it and wanted to try again, but that was before I got a two week migraine).

- I would really like to write about my idea around 'The Cat King's name is Thomas' concept at some point.

- I just want to write and make art for this fandom in general (especially for Catwin, lol).

So, if y'all have suggestions, I would love to hear them, I can't guarantee I'd be able to do any of them, but I would love to know what the people want to see and maybe inspire other people in the process. My asks are open, and so are my messages.

I would also love to know if it would be preferable to have me post chapters as I finish them without a guarantee when the next would come out or if I should finish them all first and release on a set schedule.

I will understand if this post doesn't get seen by a lot of eyes because of how recent the news is but I just want to be visible so that people know how many people in the community at large are continuing despite the sadness we all feel. This fandom will not die if I have anything to say about it! This space has done so much for me, and I've seen that that's the case for many of us, so I hope that we can all come together even more after all of this. (And of course, sign the petitions and all that good stuff if you're able and willing!)

Hi there!

I’ve been reading you fic for a while now and it is amazing! It’s the only fic I’ve got rn that I will stop and read the moment I notice a chapter has been posted. I’m just so invested!

I just wanted to say that you’ve really done amazing things with your story. You’ve nailed the character voices and interactions, the grief the boys all feel is tangible and Leo breaks my heart every time. You’ve had me emotionally invested from the first sentence, and that’s saying something because otherwise I have the attention span of a gnat lol

I just wanted to stop by and tell you that you and your style really inspires me as a writer. While my fics may follow a very different path, you and your story constantly helps to spark my own creativity whenever it feels like I’m getting in a rut.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care!

SUCH HIGH PRAISE THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭

#ya'll are on a mission to make my cry tonight THANK U 🩵#honestly??? hearing i inspire others is the highest form of praise for writer #thank u so much ;w;#go forth and create #because the effort you put into it will make it divine #and i can't wait to see #TNV asks #pastel prattling

I have been seeing a lot of discourse on certain tags lately about fanfiction and writing fics that are “out of character”. And I don’t like conflict, so I was keeping my nose out. But now I’ve seen some things that I just can’t let go, and as the self-proclaimed fandom mom, I feel like I need to step in and state this loud and clear—

Fandom is for you.

The whole point of fanfic and fanart and cosplay and anything fan related is for you, the fan, to take a work that has already been created and have fun with it. Make it your own. Dive in and explore and do what you will. Fandom is meant to be a creative outlet where you can share ideas and art with other people who have the same interests as you.

THAT BEING SAID: it is never. And I repeat, NEVER okay to gatekeep fandom. And yeah, I fucking hate the word gatekeep. But it’s the only way to describe what I’m seeing happening. And so I’m going to use it again—

It is never okay to gatekeep fandom. It is never okay to gatekeep characters. And to throw negativity at anyone’s work, let alone come straight out and tell them that they’re wrong for shaping a character a certain way— I’m sorry, but where do you get off? I am completely understanding of wanting characters to stay true to the source material. I am completely understanding of having your own opinions about/expectations for a character and wanting them to behave a certain way. But YOU, my dear friend (or rather, we), are not the creator of those characters. Which means that we have no right to tell someone else what they can or cannot do with them.

The whole point of fandom is to let your imagination run wild. And if that means that a typically good character leans more evil in a fic, fine. If they make decisions you don’t agree with, great. If they do things that directly contradict what would have happened in the source material, even better!!

LET. PEOPLE. CREATE.

Let them throw characters into crazy situations and analyze how they react. Let them stretch them out like putty and poke at all of the soft bits inside. Let them shape them into something completely other just to see what happens. Let them be curious. Let them explore. Let them have fun.

Fandom should be fun.

And the second one person starts dictating what is right or wrong for a character or a ship, that’s the second it stops being fun. And that’s when fandoms die.

Don’t gatekeep something that doesn’t belong to you. Because again— It doesn’t belong to you.

You are allowed to have your own opinions. You are allowed to have your own expectations for characters. But who do you think you are, to flat out tell someone (or a group of people) that the way they write someone is wrong? That the way they have imagined something is wrong? That their creativity, their expression, their joy, is wrong? Or, as I’ve seen more recently, when someone gets dejected by the posts you’ve made telling them they’re creating wrong, you have the audacity to tell them “that’s okay, now that you know you did something I don’t like, you can reevaluate your work and try to improve!”

How dare you.

Because once again, I hate to break it to you, but you’re not the creator of these characters. And I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the actual creator is probably just so happy to see the diversity of idea that has sprung from their creation. So who do you think you are, to dictate an entire fandom?

If you don’t like it, move along. Click out of the fic, find something else to read. I understand having frustrations when things don’t go as you’d hoped, when a piece of work that you were excited about crosses those outer lines of your expectations and you feel disappointed. Again. But you know what? That’s your expectation. What about the person halfway across the world who reads the same fic and finds themselves in it? Finds a small piece of comfort that encourages them to hold on for just one more day. What happens when your words completely discourage the creators of your fandom, have them second guessing themselves? What happens when they lose confidence and stop creating completely? What happens when the fandom dies, and suddenly there’s nothing new to explore— to your standards or not?

You are allowed to have your opinions. Of course you are. You are allowed to express them. But you are never. EVER. allowed to tell people that they are wrong for making art that you don’t agree with. For using their imagination in a way that doesn’t fit into your small box of approval.

Let creators find happiness.

Let creators create.

REVERSE Ask Game...

So I have acquired a deck of the Ao3 Playing cards - each card, along with the normal numeric system, also has a prompt, or a trope..., for example, the Queen of Spades = "major character death." Some are easier than others (a quick flip through reveals that there is a W.I.P. card in there too).

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to:

List a playing card (or more... I dare you), example, Queen of Spades

I will respond by telling you the prompt on the card.

YOU write the fic, or ficlet, or headcanon, or brief sketch if you art, or mood board, or whatever the card inspires you to do.
