If you feel like you need "permission" to do something in fandom, this post is for you!
Something I've noticed a lot of in this fandom is that people hesitate so much to do so many wonderful things they want to do because they feel like they need someone else's "permission" in order to do it.
Understandably, there was a HUGE history of people dog-piling, harassing, and bullying people for doing things that were not explicitly approved by either the creators or the fandom at large. I am so happy that the tumblr fandom in particular has moved away from that horrible time, but the effects it had on people still linger, even beyond things that "weren't allowed."
So if you need permission to do something you've been thinking of doing, I'm giving you permission. 💕
Do you have an idea for a fan event but you need someone to tell you that you can? I'm telling you right now that not only can you start that fan event, but you will do a great job AND people will love it.
Do you have an idea for a fanfiction but you're worried that people won't like it? I'm holding your face gently and promising you that there is an audience for everything and if absolutely nothing else, you deserve to make that fic.
Do you have a headcanon that directly conflicts with common headcanons in the fandom? I support you having that headcanon. YES, even if other people dislike or even hate that headcanon. YES, even if some people are upset about that headcanon. It's their job to avoid that headcanon then-- it's not your job not to have it.
You deserve a space to be heard, to make your creations, to hold you headcanons. Anything that brings you joy, amusement, euphoria, validation, healing, catharsis, anything that you find interesting or enjoyable, you deserve to engage with it.
I promise you are capable. I promise you are not doing anything wrong. I promise you are not hurting anything.
Whatever you thought about while reading this post? I am giving you permission to do it.

Have you ever watched Soul Eater :0? No idea why but your style reminds me of it just slightly. Might also be my brain saying a character would look awesome in your style from said anime ^_^
i have actually!! it was among my earlier set of animes i watched as a kid back when it first aired on toonami ^-^/ i enjoy a lot of it still from what i remember, and thank you! the SE style is really awesome especially the earlier manga stuff
though funny that you say this:
i really wanted my own Death the Kid so i used him as inspo for one of my OCs. his name is Reaper! who.. is aptly the Son of Death and my beloved grim reaper hehe

Apprenticember Day 31
Name another mc you read about and enjoyed! Shout out your favorite mc!
I’m not exactly very social in the fandom and know fewer people and MCs than some, but here are some of those I always enjoyed seeing around this year, be it here or on Discord <3
Roka by @blu-raes – wish you’d post more of your blorbo, your and Hemi’s blorbos are the only two that got to Marty’s guarded heart so far. But also thank you for the excellent Julianposting in art and memery since the earliest days of the fandom <3
Arsenic by @arsenicxarcana – fellow Lucio enjoyer, thank u for indulging my oc and goat rambling
Jin & Cedar by @epoch-smog – really neat blorbo premise and lore, awesome art & memes, and of course… the pepe silvia board of the Arcana.
I couldn’t possibly read through all Apprenticember posts out there, but special shout-out to @arcanabananafefifofana, it was always a delight seeing the beautiful artwork and story in the tags!

Question for people who are smarter than me:
I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox (on account of the tracking/selling data), but now i'm having trouble with my tumblr tags! i'll start typing them, but they won't pop up for me to click on to add to a post and i end up having to type the full thing out again and again and again. This has happened in the past on chrome, but usually typing a tag once and reblogging it adds it to my lexicon of saved tags. Now that doesn't happen. I thought it might be the xkit extension i downloaded, but I don't think that's it? Sometimes the tag is added and then it gets taken away again later.

do u keep up with zizous other games i know they sneak a lot of undertale 2 references into their work (like tutariel being playable in gimmiko seen in that one trailer)
yes i do!! been following Gimmiko's development from the beginning and i'm really really looking forward to the full version, Zizou and Prutte(<- the game's composer and sound designer if you didn't know) are really doing an incredible job!!
( very glad to receive a message about Gimmiko actually because everybody should wishlist it on steam and play the demo RIGHT NOW!!!!! )
