anyone notice a new trend of really entitled people joining fandom?

I feel like jerks have existed since the beginning of time, but it feels worse lately.

So far this year, I've witnessed:

People offering free unasked criticism to artists because they're not happy with the way their favourites are portrayed, stating that 'they deserve to know what they did wrong so they can improve' while the feedback they offered was 'why does everyone look like they're on ozem***' (idk if i need to tw this word)

Also giving feedback AND REVIEWS to FANFIC as if they're published works (and adding them on GOODREADS TO RATE)

People mass producing binded fanfiction and making THOUSANDS of dollars off work they did not create (they stole the artwork too)

People running incomplete fanfictions through AI because the writer wasn't updating and COMMENTING on the fic telling others to do the same so they can get an ending

And now, in the span of two days:

People trying to argue that if they can't sell binded fanfiction, then you're not allowed to commission fanart from artists either

The same people encouraging people to use AI or steal fanart for their binds

ALSO the same people openly admitting that when they typset fics, they will edit the fanfiction and change entire sentences so that it 'makes more sense to them' -- one person complained the entire fic was rough gramatically and was seeking permission not from the author but OTHER BINDERS to freely edit as they please

I'm trying to be a positive person in the communities I'm in, but GOD I am so tired. Every day I fight a battle deciding if I should just be a worse person, everyone's doing whatever the hell they want anyway.

If this gets to 200 notes I’ll dye some of my hair purple

[starlitangels]

I feel like I interact with my favs to much. They see I commented or liked and they go "not this person again" or "I hope this person doesn't see this post' I don't know. It's mostly exclusive to this community cuz that's what i interact with

Pick your favorite fic you’ve written recently-ish and #6 and #8! 😁

🌟👼

Hey Star~~🌟👼 👋💖

Since you're giving me free rein, I'm gonna pick "As sweet as you" (Angel/David)

6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?

Hmm, I don't know about special or different, but it does go further into the food-related eccentricities that my version of Angel has (i.e. there will be more in this unofficial series as I figure them out). They are good in the kitchen, they just don't have the same confidence that David has.

It started as just as an idea of "haha, David is cringing at Angel's terrible knife skills" but then it turned into an introspective on how David really sees Angel and how much he appreciates them, even if he can't make himself say the words just yet.

8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?

The way Angel cuts the mango is exactly how I do it 😅, and I thought it'd be funny to imagine how (early-)David would react to their... unrefined technique and balance his penchant for things to be done "right" and his desire to work on the relationship between him and Angel.

✨️✨️✨️ I know it's from a while ago, but it still pops up in my head every now and then, I'd like to ask about the Latent Fire Elemental Angel AU of your Pups AU (5 and 11)

5: What part was hardest to write?

11: What do you like best about this fic?

A while ago is still totally fine with me!

5 - The hardest part was actually figuring out, like, how to handle some sort of kidnapping situation and how Gabriel would take charge, given he's not really the authority type, and figuring out the best way for a large group of characters to split up and quite literally hunt down the missing couple XD

11 - I liked the reveal best, tbh. Like, getting to show the fire and the moment of the deep character connections that spurred it on. My favorite part of writing is always character dynamics and interactions, and just writing Angel being a protective parent and defending the kids, not just her own, was fun. I'm a big fan of a Mama Wolf (hence the couple collab audios Frenchie and I have done, albeit for different characters) and letting Angel have a turn to finally be the protector was really, really satisfying :-D

i'm curious as to which d(a)emon type is most popular on redacted tumblr so take erik's quiz and then answer:

[starlitangels]

I can never resist a personality quiz

I’m actually really surprised by this result. I’m not cool or special so I assumed I’d be inchoate

I took the Demon Quiz on the Redacted Audio site and came out as an "Elation Demon!" According to the result description...

You're an Elation Demon! Elation Demons feed on feelings of excitement, adrenaline, delight, or happiness. Before the Cacophony, most Elation Demons were bound in the Madrigals of A'Ahnen, the Sonal Sovereign, and Use'Dia, the Magneto Sovereign, among others. It's important to note, while particular kinds of demons will often share similar personality traits, those aren’t uniform. And a demon that feeds on a particular kind of emotion doesn’t have to be inherently representative of it. Sadism Demons don’t have to be cruel. Empathy Daemons don't have to be kind. While some choose to amplify their particular food source of emotion in a person, they can actually absorb that emotion from them instead and help relieve a person of it, if they wish. Just like humans, demons come with all sorts of personalites [sic], preferences, and goals! Examples include Bootes, Aldebaran, and Tejat.

According to the accompanying image, the horn pattern of an elation demon curves upwards, resembling the horns of an Asian Water Buffalo, but slightly narrower.

What's your result?

[starlitangels]

I’M BACK!

Okay I know this says “Hades listener” but it’s still gender neutral check the vid description if you want a lil more info on that kthxbye

I did Persephone but not the GBA Persephone this time XD this one’s a lil Percy Jackson a lil original modern twist vibes. Enjoy!

Maybe I’ll do another GBA Persephone fan audio later idk but they’re always fun

[starlitangels]

I still poke around occasionally, I just burned out and kinda got exhausted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Knowing me and my cycle of obsession, I’ll come back with a vengeance one of these days

I've been out of the fandom loop for a while, and I decided to open tumblr again. I stalked your page just to see if you were still active cuz I don't see you, Ejunkiet, and Starlightangels in my redacted feed anymore, and all of u are. am I on the wrong side of redacted tumblr? all I see are hcs and no longer 🧑‍🍳💋 stories and drabbles.

newayz, i miss the og tumblr peeps as much as I miss David Shaw (ehem pls come back).

Hi, Anon! Thanks for stopping by! I am indeed active in the Redactedverse fandom. You can check out my AO3 for all my fics, including the recent ones! If you're looking for something specific, let me know I'll and rec as best I can, whether I or someone else wrote it. I do so still enjoy a headcanons list, most of which I tag under "redacted headcanons," though searching on Tumblr can be quite a pain and not always work. I'm also always happy to reblog stuff I see to support others!

By the way, since you mention David, I will take the opportunity to tell you this week I should be posting the first chapter of a new Redactedverse fic, and it's a Princess Bride AU that'll feature David in the Buttercup role. If that sounds jazzy to you, please be on the lookout!

the only thing i've missed by refusing to download tiktok is not knowing that epic: the musical exists and may i just say it slaps and i wish i'd known about it sooner

like, okay, i'd heard of it, but i thought it was, like, an actual new(er) musical on stage somewhere not a tiktok creation

[starlitangels]

Oh my goodness! Happy birthday my friend! I hope you have a great and wonderful day!

go shawty its yo birthday

Random question (in a positive and curious way): What does the inside of your brain look like?

The Meme sector of my brain wanted me to find one of those little "wood beads on various bent metal wire rails" toys from a doctor's office waiting room

But the real answer is that the inside of my brain is almost always just. Words. Everywhere. All the time. It's almost all words. Like, for how vivid my visual imagination is (and boy oh boy is it vivid holy crap), most of my brain is words. I'm one of those people who thinks in words more than images or concepts probably because I grew up reading so much that when "this is what the character is thining [character] thought" was a thing in books, my brain took that literally and I just. Thought. That way.

The very vivid visual imagination I mentioned looks like those videos set to the "Shooting Stars" meme song with warping outer space imagery Or maybe that's how it functions... not necessarily how it looks... idk

Guy is Echo and the murder mystery script he wrote is the Monarchial summit

[starlitangels]

You know what I've always wanted to do? A love triangle where the twist is that the story is told from the point of view of the person who's currently "losing" the love triangle. This idea came to me in one of my D&D campaigns, where my player very unexpectedly managed to charm and delight an NPC that the dungeon master already had an NPC love interest for. Incidentally this love interest was my rival, and had a huge head start on me.

The results were immensely entertaining, with my player character going through a whole gauntlet of insecurities that were at times comedic and at others dramatic. The dynamic of the imbalanced love triangle from the POV of the obvious underdog was a blast, and it wasn't even planned in the original roadmap of the game. I would so love to have that play out in an audio.

[starlitangels]

Seconded. My little tiny audience is, according to my analytics, basically entirely adults. I have a 0.0% "under 18" portion and I don't think I ever have had the 13-17 section have a number in it.

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but if you don’t realize that a good chunk of the fandom is preteen/teen girls then you are blind or in denial. It’s basically wattpad audiobooks, did you not expect teens here that’s so crazy. People that age eat up any kind of romance love story and that’s what a lot of those are. And for the more story based ones that aren’t just entirely romance, it’s such a creative thing that of course it attracts younger people some times. Obviously if their content says minors dni then respect that. But if it doesn’t, leave the fans alone
