Who knew one sideblog could cause so much trauma? Adult

[twilightforestroses]

FTR since this blog is getting attention im a strict "Fandom is for fans first and foremost and creator boundaries stretch as far as 1. Not sending them shit they dont like, and 2. tag your shit" as it would for any other fandom because anything more without fail every time I see ends up with just fancops and spreading misinformation and harassing people.

Like I've seen some absolute heinous harassment to both fans and creators for so much as daring to have extremely mild headcanons or for telling people to knock off the harassment. I have been in mcyt spaces generally online along with in the space on tumblr for over a decade, never once has policing around a creators "boundaries" ended well. Be polite, tag your shit especially if it's nsfw, but remember fandom is a fan space first and foremost, creators can visit, but they don't get to set the entire fandom's rules any more then an author of a book could.

This isn't to say creators can't mention if they don't personally like something, opinion is opinion and they are fully in their rights to be like "if i see fanart with x im blocking you". Often I find as long as creators are polite nine times out of ten people will go "oh you dont like horns in your fanart? okay" and change the design anyways. It just means to leave that one out of ten person alone beyond maybe asking them to tag the design as horned!character or something because they aren't going to change their mind. Especially because they often tend to be younger I've noticed.

Setting boundaries is "do not show me this or I will block you" it is not "no one can make this" and a lot of people have forgotten this, boundaries dictate how YOU react, not how others act. I know not everyone is comfortable with this kind of mindset, but I've seen the sheer amount of damage this can cause. So I just thought I'd make my stance clear.

Funny as fuck to keep up with the flight from the edited videos because I get spoilers but there so far in advanced and out of context i get actually no spoilers because its all so wild

in my opinion, the question isn't "Is RPF ethical?" but rather "Are you engaging with RPF ethically?" and even more importantly, "Are you being stupid about it?"

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

But just have some basic decency and do not involve the real people. Don't cross the line without caring how it affects them. This is basic fandom 101 and lately we have been flying too close to the damn sun! Everyone get more normal about RPF so major news outlets and magazines stop posting articles about "Is RPF ethical?" and blowing up our spot!

Having remembered that Piglins can be swayed with gold, Nil gives the Raiders an idea, but it takes some convincing and even more bluffing...

Minecraft: My World AU - Act II - Nether Arc Part 9

[acparvis]

for the past year i’ve been seriously getting into my art again. i’ve been entirely pencil and paper until now - this is compressed as fuck because i don’t have software to import with yet - but it felt right to return to a character i know by heart to commemorate starting digital art again (hence why my colour and shading and lighting and everything is ASS but it’s my first time on earth!!!!)

this however is all made weirder by the fact that i actually literally know someone irl who knows the Actual Alex Parvis, like the Actual Guy. so i think i have to put my pen down with regards to drawing his fifteen year old minecraft series persona.

i’m not changing my url tho

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!

Avid and Graecie make me sick. Avid wants to hate her so badly, he wants to feel the same about every person in the academy, he doesn't want to be attached to her so badly. And then Graecie comes in making flower crowns or giggling even when he's trying to be angsty or straight up crying and he just needs to protect her.
