I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

GOOD NEWS FOR CRAB FANS EVERYWHERE

It's so hard to write from a child's point of view and have it accurately read like a child. Writing a childs dialogue and actions is one thing, especially from the pov of an older person. but it's so hard to narrate wht's going on in a childs voice while also accurately explaining what's going on.

SIIIIGH

but!! I'm writing, and writing equals learning. Hopefully, the further i get in the scene, the more natural the narration will feel

DP Prompt/Plot Bunny: Halfa-Humans Are Weird

Danny had expected a lot when he joined NASA’s black-budget space exploration program. Zero-G ghost powers? Check. Seeing the universe up close? Absolutely. Getting kidnapped by aliens running a high-end intergalactic trafficking ring? Not on the itinerary.

The aliens expected fragile, predictable creatures—prone to breaking, compliant under pressure. What they got was a crew of adrenaline-fueled space nerds and one very irritated half-ghost who could walk through walls, turn invisible, and was apparently immune to whatever containment measures they had. The captors panicked. Their buyers got curious. And Danny might have realized the universe might have just classified him as something other than human.

Now, he has to break his crew out, shut down a trafficking ring, and somehow convince the greater galactic community that no, he is not an alien while also grappling with the fact that technically, that might not be entirely true. (Or going in another direction: he has to convince them that he IS alien.)

Or, Danny’s crew doesn’t know about his powers, so he has to pretend to be a normal human while protecting them, himself, and possibly Earth, all without revealing what he can do.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

Saw this on Twitter and I obligatory need to share it

(This post is brought to you by the fact that tumblr are, hilariously, claiming that 50% of current users are gen z, and i wanna see how accurate claim that is.)
