#It’s not hard

I really wish people would look up what ‘death of the author’ actually means. Trust me, it does not mean turning a blind eye to someone using their vast wealth and popularity to actively hurt trans people or spread misinformation about the Holocaust.

This is your early morning PSA to support artists. And I don’t mean only monetarily. I mean reblog shit. Ramble in the tags how much you like it if so compelled. But artists will only continue posting while there is support.

And I want to make it entirely clear that I do mean post. Because what is gonna happen is that they will continue to create, but it will just be shown to their friends that they made within the community. If you want to continue to see things from an artist, tell them as much. We have seen fandoms and communities die, because there was no more support for the artists that are the backbone for them.

Reblog your favorite fanfics. Reblog your favorite artists. Write them a nice comment. Tell them how you like their art style or how they write a certain character. Artists will continue to create because we continue to enjoy it. We continue share it because we want to spread something we’re proud of and we think others will to.

I’ve seen too many of my artist friends recently saying it’s not worth it to post anymore because there’s no point. No one acknowledges it. Yet I continue to see it before they post and support them. So they privatize their audience.

Support artists if you want them to stick around. For fuck’s sake.

white people posting “say her name” for a white woman sitting in jail (who was neither beaten nor murdered by cops, mind you) is um. well. 💀

blog guidelines and tags

Hi! I’m GhostBird! This blog is dedicated to any and all things Batman and Robin related featuring copious amounts of fluff and feels 💚

First of all: be kind. Both to me and to each other. If there’s a prompt/opinion you don’t like please keep scrolling or simply block. Rude commentary or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, and yes that also applies to ships you may find distasteful. If I have too many people going anon to be rude I will be turning that function off. This is a safe space, and I will enforce that with prejudice. 🐍

Second of all: Have Fun. Go wild. And if you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask 🦅

I know that they know about the ADHD Bucky theory please just confirm it that’s all we ask

[quyeningellvar]

I’m actually laughing at how many people who ship solavellan are mad that solrook EXISTS (and not only exists but was encouraged by a dev) MEANWHILE SOLAVELLAN WON THE GAME like y’all bagged that egghead seriously what can we take from you why are you so upset no like genuinely I’m asking, why are they so upset that solrook exists

The existence of solrook does nothing to the existence of solavellan so I genuinely can’t wrap my mind around it

Yo pastries I know I be chill and lax with things but being weirdly snotty/weird/mean in my tags/comments isn’t the friendly quip you think it is like plz be chill—I know you probably just joking but I don’t find it funny 🫡

Also don’t compliment me and then add a rude comment about another artist in that compliment. That’s so weird.  don’t use me as a way to get some heat off about someone else you don’t like 💀 imma ignore you and mute you ok that’s all

[lau219]

PSA: If you ask a writer about the progress of a fic or request an update, you are then legally required obligated to comment and/or reblog when you get what you asked for, either as yourself or anonymously.

It’s called common courtesy, people. Show some appreciation.

The main thing I’ll agree on with the random hate anons is that the tags need to be sorted tf out lmao it is so hard to find a fic with the ship you want when background ships are tagged as full

I love getting diagnosed with AMPS which is essentially the Pediatric version of “bro is in way more pain than normal but we don’t wanna give them the like actual diagnosis for said pain. We wanna let them simmer and suffer a bit more. Character growth and all that”.

Like dog, I am freshly 18, give me the fibromyalgia diagnosis and never see me again. Rheumatologist’s in peds can suck my dick, why are they so useless. He refused to believe that I’m in as much pain as I am. He told me my brain is just tricking me into thinking I’m in pain and I should expose myself to painful sensations to retrain it. Brother… I will not be doing the chronic pain version of ABA therapy. I’m also, get this, TOO OLD FOR THAT SORT OF TREATMENT. IM TOO OLD FOR THAT TO EVEN BE A PROBLEM NOW.

Oh my GOD I wanna throw someone out a window

It’s been long enough since the fandom found out Alastor is Creole, y’all are out of excuses

If you still draw human Alastor as white (or extremely white passing, aka Low Effort Representation), we can’t be friends

Sometimes you just wanna take your brain out and put it through a blender because it’s not like it works right anyways

I graduated from high school last week.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly proud of myself for doing so. I mean, I graduated with high honors and had the 5th highest GPA out of my 500 student-senior class (yeah I’m bragging a little, but stick with me).

I walked across the stage, something I’ve dreamed of doing for YEARS, as my family and friends cheered my name.

Despite all of these facts, it felt like the day was tainted. I could feel it as I approached graduation, at the graduation, and even after.

Why?

Because I know there are kids my age who also should’ve graduated this year, but were not able to.

Because their schools were destroyed by genocide. Because their homes were destroyed by genocide. Because their families were destroyed by genocide. Because THEY themselves are martyrs.

And the truly shitty part?

I’m talking about more than one place.
