#Incheresting!

[hiding-in-the-vault]

Bonjour! In the spirit of curiosity, I'm going around asking people things about their experiences in fandom. So, here's the first question: have you ever joined an exchange or fan-run event before (can be as a writer, beta reader, or artist)? If the answer is yes, what did you like about it? Can you share the piece you made for it? Cheers! 🪶 anon

Several! So far always as an artist. I enjoy organized efforts to encourage community interaction and engagement :) I think events like these are the lifeblood of fandom, among many other things- but besides just general posting, having some Thing™ that people are working together towards makes these little internet friendships and community feel a little more tangible to me.

As for examples,

Dreblr secret santa

Dreblr gift exchange

Technoblade gift exchange

mcyt au fest

dtblr secret santa

dtqk big bang

dreblr secret santa again

And maybe more jhfgkd

I was far less present in my previous fandoms before falling into block hell. Besides the occasional collab, I didn't do any sort of exchanges or events back then.

there's a new really terrible kind of person on the internet i've noticed lately who thinks it's totally okay to belittle someone's trauma if they're, like, kinda sorta annoying or whatever, and/or if it sounds like something that "shouldn't" cause trauma. like they legitimately think that they, as a complete and total stranger, can decide whether or not someone else is ~actually~ traumatized

recently someone i know - who did, in fact, grow up in a cult - tried to see a new therapist for EMDR. when they mentioned religious trauma during the first visit, she practically laughed in their face and told them it's ~just a buzzword~ and not actually a real thing (and that you can only get trauma from being raped, suffering severe physical abuse, or almost dying) so like. idk, maybe promoting the idea that people frequently exaggerate or just simply make up trauma (and supposedly for fucking clout of all things) actually has real world implications and doesn't make for a little funny haha tumblr post lmao

GP: "I'm a little bit disappointed, I think he (Max) just grabbed a new cat and told me he'll name it GP but he named it Donatello or something stupid"

i feel like in progressive circles white women are treated as the ultimate evil while white men are coddled, even tho white men are more privileged, vote more conservatively, and are probably more violently racist

Your umbilical arm (?) looks a lot different than the ones I see on most other Iterators! Is it designed that way for a specific reason?

It is like how you all may text on your devices! You will find me in many different places, but we are still just Across Golden Valleys!
