mcyt youtubers need to be banned from the words yaoi and yuri. say gay, say you’re doing gay shipping and queer baiting and if the word ‘gay’ feels too serious for you compared with yaoi then maybe you should reconsider your bias’ towards the legitimacy of being queer.

if you (as a creator or a fan) are uncomfortable with heterosexual ships but fine with ‘yaoi’, maybe you should reconsider your bias’ towards the legitimacy of being queer.

if you perceive nonbinary, (transgender, asexual, aromantic, queer and especially sapphic) as more pure, or incapable for sexual actions, maybe you should reconsider your bias’ towards the legitimacy of being queer.

and if you are still uncomfortable with the idea of shipping, straight or gay, something that has been around in all fandoms since their conception, then maybe you shouldn’t be looking in fandom spaces to begin with.

fans are not free commission cows to give you pretty art of exactly what you want, stop treating them as such.

Indie creators who are extremely sensitive to the way people talk about and to them love saying inflammatory shit on social media

So I only know three Shedletsky varients (including my own) and I only vaugely know the Block Tales lore because of Bezet so this is how the Sheds look in my mind:

Hey is anyone interested in a whole bunch of animatics and concept art from the show (mainly season 3 stuff)? Because I’ve gathered all of mine that I’ve collected into one Google Drive and would be more than willing to share a link to it.

Edit: Link is in the reblog right here!

I also have the Creator’s Tech Manual made into a single PDF file instead of 45 separate images.

just so you guys know, no creator is a big fan of "I don't like this character, but this thing you made of them is nice" that's not the compliment you think its, keep it next time 👍

ME AND YOU BOTH ON SILENT SALT

it doesn't sound like much but ever since people started the theory that SS and EF would be the same person I so desperately hoped they were wrong. I feel like there are so many ways to explore a character like SS and making him a villain that's super-secretly-your-weird-situationship-half-not-thing is boring. Besides, I feel like everyone genuinely forgets how ELDER FAERIE COOKIE IS DEAD??? like he DIED? RIGHT IN FRONT OF US???

Removing all that drama and character story from WL also feels like a disservice, and the connection SS and WL could've made together from shared loss is just disappointing. I don't even think it's a case of "its so obvious devsis would never do that!!" I just straight up don't like the idea and it would undermine so much of the previous story for a not even cool reveal. Whateverrr have a nice dayy ⚔

There's also this. Doesn't seem like anyone recalls it

Elder Faerie himself is telling us to our face that it's not that deep lol

I'm with you in just not liking the idea and believing it detracts from Silent Salt (and Elder Faerie, but especially Silent Salt). I said pretty much everything I have to say in another ask but I honestly can't stress enough that I just want Silent Salt to be his own man and I don't believe a WL/DE parallel actually services the story. To be honest it comes across as a lot of people not really understanding or appreciating Silent Salt OR Elder Faerie for who they already are and thinking mashing them together will fix something that wasn't even broken (at least not with Salt). I understand wanting Elder Faerie to be more important but why does it have to be like this? Can you really not think of a better way to make a character important besides making him secretly be somebody else? Really don't get why they couldn't have just been former friends/associates, that one cutscene in episode 10 already frames it like that anyway

And really, like. I will say it as many times as I need to: I know that I'm not entitled to Silent Salt being the way I want him to be. I have my own ideas and expectations for him both as an individual and as part of a duality with White Lily (shippy sense and not, I can appreciate a dynamic without taking romance into account ofc) and him having a split soul thing with Elder Faerie would just. Completely ruin everything and I would be Very Big Mad lol. Actual nuclear bomb to that part of my imagination. I know that's ridiculous but it is what it is. It's at least comforting knowing that I wouldn't be alone in my disappointment lol

steps to writing a fic

Create a dynamic that’s really compelling but you have to look at it and be like. wow you should NOT be together.

diagnose the problem. who needs to grow to get out of this cycle?

how would this growth occur? What is stopping this person/these people from changing for the better? Under what circumstances would they realize their relationship kind of sucks?

implement that circumstance, drawing attention to whatever it is Stopping Them (core issue)

repeat until you look at the characters and think they can take it from here in a reasonably healthy manner.

quick check to make sure you haven’t neglected any themes or emotional plots in the meantime.
