#also fanworks as a concept

[calware]

thinking about doing a month-long event for the homestuck tumblr community to encourage people to make + post fanworks as well as reblog other people's fanworks.... where people can opt-in by being randomly assigned one of two teams (probably red and blue) so that each team has roughly the same amount of members. teams get points for making fanworks and having their posts reblogged, which encourages people to make posts and also reblog the posts made by their team members. and the top 3 people in each team to get the most points get some kind of reward... hmmmm

midoriya izuku obviously forgives bakugou for everything—he doesn’t take himself into account + he’s already been actively forgiving him since like episode one. but you know who else was around to experience the effects of bakugou’s behavior and coincidentally does nothing but take izuku into account?? midoriya inko

hey guys how do you think inko feels about the mech suit? Izuku did become a hero, and then even though he quit the profession he was still relatively famous and respected as a hero + he got to follow in all might’s footsteps working at U.A. and even if he had some regrets he was happy and he was safe. And then Bakugou & co came and found a way for him to go back to doing dangerous things

hey isn’t it great that bakugou worked so hard because he believed that midoriya could be a hero—now that all might and his classmates and tech workers in various countries all agree? hey—why couldn’t that have happened sooner, back when bakugou was his only friend and even inko herself didn’t believe in midoriya’s dream? 

and how would inko react if she found out that bakugou has believed izuku would be a hero ever since they were four, when izuku held out his hand and he saw all might in the act—but instead of saying the one thing izuku needed to hear, the thing only he in all the world could say and mean, he spent 10-ish years trying to keep izuku from finding out, trying to bury the knowledge even from himself?

do you think bakugou apologized to inko also? do you think it occured to him that he might need to? would she forgive him if he did? would she be able to look izuku in the face if she didn’t?

i still cannot comprehend how u guys will write or draw or rb something of jack where he is present as a full grown adult and then call him a precious child….

Vegetta heard that some members of the server are scared of him and he was like "Why? I'm not even a tryhard, I was the last person to get slime armor" and I'm like... Vegetta people are already scared of you, WHY would you respond to that with "But this isn't even 1% of my true power''

[amelikos]

Something something about Spinel, Friede and Amethio, and how Spinel gets people to follow him through deception, while the latter two do so with honesty.

Yoo you're Bowser looks so SCARY. POOR Luigi 😭 Mario come get your brother!

But yeah I agree he could be more evil in the games/movie but they make him like the "joke" villian. The fear is there with your art!

Thanks!!

My version is indeed quite different in that regard. 🙇‍♀️😅 There's some humor to him (in the sense that he's playfully wicked and greatly enjoys inflicting emotional torment), but he's also ferocious and ruthless; hence the beastly look.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, there exist different types of villains, all of them valid. I actually have quite a fondness for the corny and funny sort when used in certain scenarios! But when it comes to the many concepts I have for Bowser, none of them feels especially casual or remotely lighthearted. x3

I have a love-hate relationship with theorycrafting like this bc like! It's definitely an interesting perspective! In theory I like it a lot.

But like. Thats not the way the games work mechanically or functionally and it ONLY works like that narratively if you deep dive into the lore, bc that's not REALLY supported by the games either.

Like it's nice to know Zelda is TOTALLY an asskicker who doesn't need rescuing i guess. Would be nice to see that.

(And thats before we remember that like. There's a Reason shit is framed and presented the way it is. Idk if the post was trying to downplay that and i don't have any grievance with the posters, but idk. It's more to me a fascinating look at like. Another Story than a deep dive theory on LoZ proper)

Been trying to do this with like the YouTube videos I’m making. It’s absolutely terrifying and absolutely worth it. I’m very much someone who would be considered cringe in basically every way so making YouTube vids where I get excited about things i like or play Minecraft is scary as all hell but it’s also fun. I’m developing lore for my little Minecraft guy. Sincerity is terrifying something something the horrifying ideal of being known, but even with the terror and the mean people it’s worth it. Sometimes you just have to let yourself be publicly mocked to be yourself and be happy

i'm founding a new school of media criticism which i've decided to call Bitism. the Bitist school of literary analysis asks a simple question: is this work committed to the bit?

you see, any work of fiction is either committed to the bit or it's not. the worst thing a piece of media can be is ashamed of its own premise, of the genre it in habits, of the tropes and aesthetics we expect from it. to be committed to the bit does not inherently make it good, but it makes it more worthy of respect than those which are not.

also, that's not to say that a story cannot parody or criticize the genre it inhabits or mimics. we can discuss the bit, we can deconstruct the bit, we can ask ourselves whether or not it's a good bit, but to commit to it first will strengthen these discussions, not detract from them. commitment to the bit is, after all, the first step to genuine sincerity. and sincerity will exalt and elevate parody such that it can stand on its own feet.

commitment to the bit turns melodrama into camp, elevates parody to biting commentary, and allows cringe to open up into a resonant, if unpolished, expression of true emotion.

fully expect bitism to take the literary world by storm sometime in the next few years.

Oh, another random note about how I run this blog - I don't distinguish between the pokepasta sources and the fnf mods when tagging! This is partially bc at this point it is Very hard to really separate them out, at least for me.

However, when I hc for them I will approach from the pov of the source + whatever interpretations I have for it, so if they aren't fnf-specific (eg Grey or Carmine) assume they're meant to stick to the original pokepasta's roots! As much as I stick to them anyways.... xD

was talking to a friend about how harry struggles understanding people who dont have a heart on their sleeve. we were mostly talking about snape&harry's inability to understand each other but it went to the route of imagining harry under slytherin and taking dracos offer of friendship (yes i imagine it with the thought of drarry but its very lowkey)

harry who didnt get influenced at the belief that slytherin only produces wizards who "went bad". harry who takes up dracos offer of friendship, taking into account that draco did get offended at ron laughing at his name but also keeping him on a leash and not letting draco just say anything he wants lmfao. draco whos already been curious about harry potter since he was small and doesnt want their fragile friendship to end now that he got it, tries his best to atleast be cordial to harrys choice of friends, despite thinking he could do better.

i imagine harry is still friends with ron and hermione here, i just cant imagine the trio Not being friends tbh, but for the rest of my reimagined book1 draco stays away (or atleast tries to) from the two and only really truly interact with them at the last part, with him being the key to solve snapes puzzle. meanwhile harry has a hard time adjusting to his slytherin classmates since theyre hard to read and would rather hang out with ron and hermione OR draco, with dracos bullying considerably less and hidden from harry, not risking the possibility of upsetting him

of course this all comes out by the time they enter 2nd year, when the circumstances leave draco unable to keep his mouth shut about his existing prejudice and blood purity bs, and it does strain his rel with harry for a bit, as well as harrys relationship with ron and hermione tbh, bc why would harry still associate himself with draco after this. but dracos the only friend hed got in slytherin, and harry knows for a fact that when hes not parroting at whatever his father says to him he could be very enjoyable to hang out with, downright hilarious even with his tendency to put up a performance just to make people laugh

i think that with dracos early friendship with harry and being reluctantly surrounded by people who dont believe in blood purity will atleast kickstart his doubts at the things hes been taught, esp when he has way more context at harrys background than what he had in canon

in the end draco has to begrudgingly accept that he doesnt truly want anyone, let alone hermione who hes grown to respect after being in close proximity w her against his will, to die. unlearning the ideals he was raised in may be hard even with this, but even ron has weird beliefs about house elves and werewolves so its not like its just reserved to draco. at the very least hes on the path with people willing to support his change and not having to just deal with it on his own

for harry i wanted him to be in slytherin cuz i believe in the sorting hat when it said that he wouldve done well in slytherin, in a case of hed have a better way of understanding people who have wildly different beliefs than him, as well as learning how to deal with people who are not outright honest. hed have the reputation of being a reckless slytherin, but being in the house does help him to not immediately follow his knee jerk reaction. and also cuz i want his relationship with snape to be confusing af LOL but theres more understanding bw them than if harry was just in gryffindor

[granny-griffin]

ok so I know he has arms again but I'd already drawn this and im not redoing it

[thatzombiecat]

And a sketchy sketch, I love this one and want to share with you all as well! (feat. some guy for scaling purposes)

I really enjoy the concept of Nomos turning into a sphinx-like sentient beast after being reborn as a C'tan-shard godlike being. It greatly reinforces the idea of him being a guardian of the realm, I think.

·· ℕ 𝕠 𝕞 𝕠 𝕤 · 𝕒 𝕣 𝕖 · 𝕙 𝕖 𝕣 𝕖 ··

A noble sentinel, a benevolent beast.

My take on Iconoclast!Nomos, a benevolent C'tan prodigy. My intention here was to bring out art-deco as a main style of a new era of the Koronus Expanse / the Nomos Protectorate. Hope it shows?

Learn To: Block And Move On!!

Here at NOL, we are against harassment. Because that is Nol's job. He may be bad at it now and has never succeeded in Karen-ing, but we believe in the concept of Nol willingly becoming an asshole and destroying the planet with microplastics.

TLDR: don't fucking harass people it's uncool also when will we get on one of the hitlists guys, cmon, we're RIGHT here. -dove

Bonus because you checked twice/saw this post after a hot minute:

[usagifuyusummer]

"You're loved. Don't forget."

More ramblings and concept art below lmao.

I am devastated on thinking Timmy's fate in the series... I won't put my faith that they will handle it well, so I'll just indulge in fanworks to fill in this void. If they ever do it well one day, then I'll be there for the encore.

For now, I think you'll see a lot of somewhat depressed art on FOP for a while lol. Not continuous mind you! University is a bitch to get through. Whenever I'm free that is. Which is on long stretches of time unfortunately... Still, when I'm not posting trash, I'll be around observing quietly. You can guarantee that at least.

The work this time is inspired by @xblubotx (the adopted parents kissing Timmy one so cute omgosh) and @cubbihue FOP AU (sorry I have not memorised your AU yet). I admire that Blubot can adapt the FOP artstyle so well lmao. It'll be lightyears before I can do that 😭😭😭. Also, their Timmy fanarts break my heart, thank you. For the fairies design, I took inspiration from Cubbihue's AU. I think it's cute that they have tails, but there's not much I can say regarding their AU since its still developing. Take your time on that and have fun by the way.

The context for this one is just that Timmy is embarassed that Cosmo and Wanda are giving him the affection he is missing out from his parents. Poof is laughing from Timmy's embarrassment lol. (Not using Poof's new name because that is not that iteration of his character.) Timmy got a lot of fairy dust to remove from his face on that day...

Hm, are there side-effects to fairies kissing a mortal (on the cheeks hehe)? I kinda wish there was a comprehensive mythology book for stuff like that. There's some sources where I read that fairies kissing humans can actually result in their soul being whisked away to the other world (essentially dying yeah) and some sources say that fairies kissing you means its their way of marking territory or for good luck??? I wonder where those myths came from... but it is fascinating to think about. I guess Timmy will die young then /jk lol.

I got input from my younger sister that a darker color background is better than the dark blue one I used initially. I'm quite unsure on this, so I'll just post them all... I also don't think I nailed Cubbihue's AU on the fairy sizes... It's hard to accurately draw characters on a specific scale for me... Oh well, I can practice more. This took me 3 days at least. Also, here's a png version of the piece and two photos of the concept sketches.

I think that's all I want to yap about. Thanks for reading and have a nice day. See you when my homework isn't killing me.

Jedi June 2024

A creative fandom event dedicated to appreciating the Jedi, taking place during the entire month of June! Each week will feature two prompts, around which people can create fanwork (of any kind – fic, art, cosplay, edits, anything you can think of) or meta focusing on the Jedi and the Jedi Order. All eras and continuities are welcome; OCs, established characters, doesn’t matter – it just needs to be about appreciating the Jedi!

Rules:

If you are participating, please tag your work/meta with #jedi june and/or @ this blog so that I will see it and reblog it here. All work must be your own. Feel free to crosspost it off-site.

This is an appreciation event, focusing on what we love and enjoy about the Jedi – not what we don’t. This is not the place to air your grievances with the Code, take potshots at the Council, prop certain Jedi/certain eras of Jedi up at the expense of others, or disparage the Jedi Order or their philosophy (including the concept of non-attachment) and way of life in any way. You are free to do that on your own time if that’s your thing, but it has no place within this event.

AUs and crossovers are allowed, with caveats: again, the purpose of this event is to appreciate the Jedi as Jedi, so sticking your favorite Jedi characters in something like a modern AU or making them all Sith or Mandalorian is not really within the spirit of this event. However, AUs such as making a non-Jedi character a Jedi, having a character survive their canon death, giving a character a different teacher or padawan, or killing Palpatine off-screen in an unspecified yet embarrassing and painful manner, would all be perfectly fine. Use your best judgement to determine whether an AU fits the spirit of the event or not.

Ships are allowed as long as they’re not between a child and adult, and following the above rules.

Please tag any spoilers up to two weeks after the relevant content has aired.

Following the prompts is encouraged, but not required. Any sort of pro-Jedi content is encouraged all year month long, and if tagged (and following the rules), will be reblogged.

We also have an AO3 collection!

Prompts:

Week 1 (June 2 - 8):

Prompt 1: Fun/Joy

Prompt 2: Comfort

Week 2 (June 9 - 15):

Prompt 1: Advice/Inspiration

Prompt 2: Balance

Week 3 (June 16 - 22):

Prompt 1: Art/Music

Prompt 2: Peace

Week 4 (June 23 - 29):

Prompt 1: Non-attachment/Letting go

Prompt 2: Cross-lineage mentorship

Bonus (any time):

Prompt 1: Eyes Closed/Trust in the Force

Prompt 2: Animal Friendship

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I hope you will have fun participating!

Sorry @buttonhouseparty, I thought all your tags perfectly encapsulated what I thought when I first saw this post so I'm putting them here:

#hasn't it always been like this though? I feel like we've had this conversation ever since the beginning #obv I love the captain. but the fandom has always emphasised him heavily over other characters #even ben said that it surprised him how much the story resonated with fans #(alison is literally the main character and she gets less attention) #and since the start there's been the critique that the fandom never talks about anyone else #with the response always: well. you talk about other characters then. you create the content you want to see. #however the reasonable answer to that is #why bother to do that when you know other fans won't be interested + won't engage with it #I've always felt like: I absolutely hear that critique and I do understand the captain bias is annoying + potentially problematic #but people do fandom for fun and they're just going to focus on their fave #it puts me in the odd position of feeling like I'm 'contributing to the problem' whenever I reblog #and it makes me feel vaguely guilty for not enjoying the show in the right way

[...] #also I'm here as a comedy fan so I'm not very interested in doing deep dives on the characters' trauma #I like a bit of angst but I also like a compilation video of captain noises #I mean I'll reblog cap ship fanart #I love to see it and I like doing my part in sharing around other people's creative work #but I also adore a post discussing the idiots' writing and influences #but that's not what this fandom loves to do so I don't expect to see many posts like that

#AND I think many fans were deeply disappointed by the xmas finale and have wandered off to other things #the ppl who are still here are still enjoying shipping and sharing pics of ben looking hot #which is fine. that's a fun hobby! but I get that it's far from satisfactory for the whole ghosts community #anyway yeah. we've argued this one to death over the past five years and it just makes everyone fall out. I don't know what the answer is

controversial take but being a longtime ghosts fan over the past few months has just been watching the captain become increasingly more prevalent in tags and fan content to the point where almost no other character’s stories or personalities are explored and usually if they are, it’s in relation to the captain.

I’m gay, a lesbian, and the amount of fanbases I’ve seen fall to mostly straight women and become a whirlpool of one white, conventionally attractive gay man played by a straight man has been so disappointing. the captain is not the only character in ghosts. he is not the deepest or most tragic character in ghosts. it is a found family themed show. we, gay people, do not exist as tragic entertainment to be fetishised. the women in this show are rarely mentioned in comparison to the captain, Kitty had multiple scenes about her abusive sister, is implied to come from a horrific colonialist background and basically came out as asexual in season 5 and nobody talked about it, Mary died in a way that was so horrific they didn’t even show it on camera but havers had five minutes of screen time and he is everything now, apparently.

it’s to the point where you can’t escape it, no matter what tags related to the show you do or don’t follow. I’ve seen it before with the way the good omens fanbase changed from people who respected this incredible story criticising blind faith in religion with queer characters that inherently further that message into people calling them “uwu husbands” or whatever.

I’m not particularly angry, I’m just sad to see that the internet has turned into this again. I love the captain. I love ben, he’s a fantastic actor that I grew up admiring!!! but the captain is not the entire show and I think we need to think about why he takes up like. 85% of fan works.
