being in a fandom but not being an artist is physically painful. There is so much you become unable to do- mock up headcanon designs, show off your OC, tell stories in engaging and easy to access ways, join drawing trends, not be able to do any individual ideas for drawings or animations you have yourself. It feels awful, like my wings are clipped, like I am a fish in a birdcage watching all the pretty birds flying around, calling out for others to join in- oh, and how I long to.

"Ooohh but you can just start drawing and posting your drawings whenever and whatever your skill level! No one will make fun of you-" WRONG. I have had multiple bad in-fandom experiences related to posting my practice art and people tearing me apart. I have seen beginner artists and, to my horror, disected their art in my head, judging it against everything I have seen in the past. It's awful, I wish I could stop, but sadly this kind of thing is hardwired into many non-artists (and some artists as well) minds. Sure, ten people may like my art and three people may praise me, but that's unknowable amounts more who saw it, ignored it, stared at and laughed.

And if you don't have prior experience drawing, or references, or any good materials/drawing mediums? If you are unable to keep up with drawing trends? Unable to perform or render or download any art or animation software? Well, you may as well be dirt. It's honestly feels like there's a whole cultural or class divide between artists and writers, as I once said I was branching out of writing and doing art, and got so much more praise than normal. All of this feels so fucked on so many levels. There is a reason I never post my art on my blog, besides it mostly being fuckass doodles, but even the pieces I am proud if never see the light of day.

I am just sick of how you automatically become "better" if you are a talented artist, and how everyone shits on beginners.

(This is based of my own experiences and I am tagging this with my own fandoms. Feel free to add on your own thoughts and expand fandom tags in reblogs.)

Writing fanfic for fandom is a special kind of isolation and loneliness because you have to just accept the fact your work will never be as appreciated as an artists work and if you try to bring it up as a debate you're the problem. I've literally never seen anyone discuss this separation before. I know that writers notice it, but I have no idea if the artists do, or if they even care enough to notice.

#this is a huge reason i stopped writing and left fandom for so long #because who fucking cares?#harry potter next gen #the mauraders #one piece #also a bit of percy jackson but that fandom is way better at appreciating fic writers #<< just a small handful of fandoms i wrote for a million years ago #i also wrote hetalia fic in my dark era lol #fanfic #writers of fandom #writers of tumblr #ao3 #artist vs writer #this is a problem whether people want to talk about it or not #and most people dont

The Ryoko Kui interview's reception is such a disaster over a pretty normal (yet still flawed) interview between a non-Japanese fan and Japanese artistic. This is discourse for discourse's sake, and it's no surprise that almost every Twitter user I've looked at who's using this interview to parade Kui around as a goated mangaka standing strong against Western ideology is anti-trans.

Like, I do think the interview was kinda wonky with its focus on fandom culture, which Kui clearly didn't have much interest in. But sometimes that happens. Sometimes interactions between two people, especially a fan and a creator, two people who view and interact with a piece of media in completely opposite perspectives, don't click. Does this really need to get blown up into a "West vs. East culture war" issue.

Anyways, Kui saying "I don't consider my audience's interpretations when writing. I leave it to their imaginations, but I have my own read on things too" is the healthiest, most normal thing an artist/writer who wants a non-parasocial audience could say. Artists and writers use this line all the time. If Kui didn't enjoy autistic Laius or Farcille headcanons, she would have probably voiced/signalled her discomfort, like she did on the topic of Senshi fanservice. Overall, Kui handled the interview really well. Props to her to sticking to her guns and keeping a healthy disconnect from the fandom. While I think the interviewer could've/should've been more tactful and restrained, the flaws in their questions is not a symptom of the woke mind virus trying to wriggle its way into the pure Japanese psyche. It's the sign of an over-eager fan who sees a piece of fiction differently than its creator.

#personal #delete later #this isn't even worth talking about in depth #but it's crazy that we're rehashing the “artist intent vs fan interpretation” crap again.#read stuart hall's encoding/decoding.#is it so terrible that laius reads to nd people as autistic even though the writer wasn't thinking about it #is that really something to criticize #also you may think the last sentence is me exaggerating but that's literally what the twt discourse is about #anyways i feel bad for the interviewer who's getting harassed over this #i'm seeing every side of discourse be super uncharitable toward them because it's funnier to make them sound outta touch and confrontationa #like. i'm seeing posts from cool people making the interviewer look like they asked “why did you make laius autistic??”#when the actual text of the interview goes “a lot of nd people interpreted laius as autistic. did you have that in mind when writing him?”#and obviously i think a lot of fandom people upset about this are weird too. joking that kui. a real person. is probably autistic is weird #but who am i more willing to criticize. the overeager parasocial fans taking things a too far and making things kinda weird #or the “kill the woke mind virus” weeabo/otaku terfs who still use the r-slur against queer/nd teen anime fans

Had an idea yesterday that since Godzilla can be pink and have power-ups and whatnot, then why not have Rodan be blue? :]

Just from going and absorbing the sulfuric acid from this volcano, Kawah Ijen.

As a writer if someone draws something from my fanfiction it genuinely fills my heart with joy and I wondered if it works the other way around too?

Edit: to clarify I mean fanart specifically <3

Unironically, Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave are the most hilarious trio imaginable. The Decepticon high command are three bitches who, depending on the continuity and day of the week, range from pleasantly tolerating each other to petty hissy fits to flat out hostility. Can't stand each other. Can't kill each other. When they work together they're a nightmare of a threat. Very rarely does this actually happen. Love that for them ❤️💙💜

#YOUR HONOUR THEY'RE SO DUCKING FUNNY ACTUALLY I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THESE THREE BEING HATE BESTIES PLEASE IT'S COMEDY GOLD #AND ANY WHICH WAY YOU PIT 2v1 IS A WHOLE DELIGHT TOO SOUNDSHOCK VS STARSCREAM SOUNDSTAR VS SHOCKWAVE STARSHOCK VS SOUNDWAVE ITS ALL SO GOOD #BUT THE BEST?? THE SINGLE GREATEST POSSIBILITY?? WHEN ITS ALL THREE AGAINST MEGATRON I LIVE FOR HILARITY OF IT #Thank you to Transformers One for the increase in art and fic of these three I love y'all fandom artists and writers that have the vision <#Starscream #Soundwave #Shockwave #Transformers #Ani Rambles

i enjoy toxic yuri mafuena as much as the next person but sometimes i wish people would focus more on how ena takes care of mafuyu. like when ena held her hand in one of the guiding a list child card stories. or when she was telling mafuyu to move when the light turned green in that one area conversation. they complement each other in so many different ways that's so fucking good and idk how to put it into words and i want to explode

#splootspeaks #pjsk #mafuena #it's time like this that i wish i was a fanfic writer tbh shdkgj. if i could only formulate the words #LIKE. ARCHERS GLOVE VS ARTIST GLOVE #ena having the conviction and commitment to becoming an artist but not getting the support from her dad n mafuyu not knowing what she wants #to do but getting the “support” from her mom #they each have what the other wants and they complete each other in the most perfect and painful way possible and i wANT TO EXPLORE THEIR #RELATIONSHIP SO BAD AOURGH. ok fic idea #mafuena and shizuairi hang out n while they're all out together it's like mafuyu taking care of ena but when they each go back to their #respective sekais or smth it's more like ena taking care of mafuyu or smth #or. ACK. IDK I JUST. AM SOOO ILL ABT THEM RN #it would also b soooso nice for shizuai to notice the little things abt the two bc of archeryclub n middleschool friends or whatevr #shizuku noticing how mafuyu seems a bit more relaxed or airi noticing how ena's a bit more or smth like that #does this mean anything 🧍🧍🧍#sory for my very unstructured rambling but i am so ill abt the girlies rn. 💥💥💥💥

They didn’t do justice to this scene in the anime…

Maybe I’m biased since this is one of my favorite Natsu panels!! He just looks so good and that smirk gosh how I love it!!

He looks so confident in the manga like he knows he’s the one to beat but in the anime he looks…well he just looks like he’s about to fight I guess?!

okay i meant to make this post forever ago but my personal opinion on why so many people were so dissatisfied with lightfalll (disclaimer: i am not one of these people, i love lightfall SO much), is that lightfall was kind of subjected to a really aggressive marketing campaign.

like, stick with me here, i feel like almost all the lightfall release content (the trailers especially) were so focused on battling the witness, how this battle has been centuries in the making and this is the Second Collapse Finally Finding Us, only for there to be,,, no real resolution. the end was left on such a severe cliffhanger, but not only that, there was NO battle with the witness. the witness didn't even seem to be having a hard time at all with what we WERE throwing at it.

and for narrative reasons *i* am obsessed with this ending; in terms of storytelling i adore practically every creative decision that was made in lightfall, but i think the reason that so many people were so upset about it is because lightfall had such intense marketing and was rooted in the implication that this was the End of Days, only for us to get almost no closure, and instead so many more questions.

(there's also something to be said, i think, about the fact that the people who ARE most upset about this are like, the youtube gamer dudebros who's content is very very often rooted in the aggressive, violence-and-warfare, pvp-centric, no-interest-in-lore approach to destiny, and that the people i've seen primarily ENJOYING the narrative decisions (or at least being understanding about it) are the artists and writers and loremasters of the fandom, but i'm not quite sure,,, how to expand on that point.)

#like. something something yt dudebros who are like 'uhhh destiny is about violence and war and the lore is only for people who suck at pvp #and destiny is a shitty evil game i hate it sooooo much hashtag 26871435 hours recorded gameplay' asshats #being the ones complaining MOST about the narrative in. a narrative driven game. and refusing to engage with ANY lore in a LORE HEAVY GAME #vs. the community on here thats full of artists and writers and people who actually like to analyze the story and characters #and engage with the lore and have any emotional attachment at all to the characters and world and themes #being the ones who are like. appreciative of the narrative decisions made and looking forward to where the story will take us and #looking at the game with LOVE instead of hatred and malice #and even if you didn't like lightfall!!! people in the latter category are still the people who i keep seeing be like #'yeah even if i didn't personally like it i can understand the significance of this narrative decision.'#'i acknowledge that bungie put so much time and effort and passion into making this even if it wasnt satisfying to me personally.'#'i have the critical thinking skills to understand that bungie is not a sentient malicious entity trying to ruin my life; me; specifically'#like. do you get what im saying. gamer dudebros who think the world revolves around them vs the fandom members who actually understand art #bc. thats what destiny is. its art. the whole thing is a massive art project made by a group of people that are very passionate about it.#do you hear what im saying at ALL its like two separate fandoms for the same piece of media the difference is so stark #mine #destiny 2 #lightfall #destiny 2 lightfall #eos destiny essays

You know how I know that AI will never be able to create like a human? Whether that be painting or writing or film-making?

Because no computer, no algorithm, no matter how good, can tell a story like a human can.

Shakespeare wrote his most famous tragedies from the mire of grief from losing his son to the plague. Oscar Wilde's "A Picture of Dorian Gray" had such overtly homosexual themes that the book was literally used against him when he was on trial. The shock and horror of 9/11 inspired My Chemical Romance to come together and capture the sense of disillusionment of young people at the time. Hozier today writes his songs expressing what it means to be an increasingly fascist world while still holding an enduring love of humanity. Arthur Miller wrote "The Crucible" using the witch hunts as a thinly veiled allegory to criticize McCarthyism in the 50s, a play that did, in fact have him persecuted for "contempt of congress". An entire period of Picasso's art was noticeably influenced by the suicide of his friend, but he also had other works that were inspired by his various love affairs.

If you still think AI could eventually create like that, you're missing the point. You think it's about skill, you think it's just about craft. We're aware that AI can learn any skill, excel at craft. But a story isn't the words you use, or the events that happened; a story is the person that tells it and the beauty they felt that they share with you when you experience the art. Because art itself isnt about the perfection of its presentation, its the messiness of the human experience. Your AI has no life, it has no story, it can make as many esthetically pleasing works as you want, but it cannot make art.

In my humble opinion, the successful retellings of Snow White take the relationship between Snow and the Wicked Queen and really dig into why the queen is so desperate to be beautiful and why Snow is still the fairest because of her kindness.

My favorite examples of this are Gail Carson Levine's Fairest, and the movie Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves. In both of these retellings, Snow White is conventionally unattractive. And how society views Snow White in these stories is drastically different from how they view the Wicked Queen. There is a privilege to being beautiful. Both Snow White and the Wicked Queen know this. But the Wicked Queen will do anything to have that privilege--that power--over her subjects. Whether it's to use her beauty to manipulate people or because she's desperate for love is what makes her such an interesting character. Snow White, on the other hand, gets a taste of how people would treat her if she was conventionally attractive, at least in these stories. And when she realizes that people are finally able to appreciate her or praise her or HELP HER because of her looks, she's forced to ask herself the question whether she'll choose to keep being "beautiful" or if she'll go back to being herself because society's definition of beauty isn't worth the cost.

Snow White and the Wicked Queen are foils. They represent how conventional beauty standards can pressure woman and pit them against each other. They represent how a mother, related by blood or not, can become jealous because the simple act of growing older makes her less attractive than her daughter in society's eyes and that means she's going to be treated differently as a result.

All this to say, if you turn Snow White's story into Snow White becomes a "Strong Independent Female Who Doesn't Need Any Prince And Is Growing Into the Leader She was Born to Be" then you lose that commentary about what true beauty is. You lose the chance to ask what makes someone the fairest and why. If you aren't asking why the Wicked Queen wants to be the fairest to the point of having a huntsman cut out a child's heart, then you're missing out on the entire point of the fairy tale.

#rose and rambles #sorry ive been seeing all the clips of the new snow white live action commentary and like #there's a lot to talk about #there's a lot to get into #ive already read and reblogged before someone here talking about how the prince kissing snow #isn't some stalker moment but like his attempt to fulfill his promises to Snow #and we can get into purity standards and virgin girls vs mothers Who Have Def Had Sex #because in the disney movie it's love's FIRST kiss that wakes up Snow #not true love #true love's kiss belongs to Aurora and Ariel #but anyway my point here is the story isn't really about the prince and snow as much as it is about snow and her step mother #if you really want to make a statement about snow white then you have to acknowledge what it's saying about beauty #and you as the writer/artist/ect have to decide what you want to say about beauty #anyway i shall not apologize for the length of this and you should watch Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves PLEASE #Snow realizing people are only willing to help her find her father when she's skinny IS HEARTBREAKING AND GETS ME EVERY TIME
