I’ve been binging IZ Animatics today (cause I haven’t been doing much) so while I’m thinking about it, I’d like to make an appreciation post!

Here are some of my favorite fandom animatic artists who have committed SO much to the fandom! I’d just like to thank all of you!

@shandzii my faves are the Nothing Left To Lose and Not Your Seed animatics! Along with some SPECTACULAR Fanart

@emositecc a main helper on AVTP (my favorite IZ fan series) along with many funny animatics

@fanciernessa I LOVE The Other Side Animatic and your version of Zim!

@creepypso you are now the reason Hate Me by Nico Collins is on half of my playlists 😂 I also love the Spoiled Little Brat and Concert for Aliens animatics!

@rainbott A big fan of Irken Outcasts along with other art!

@beewithagun I’m Gonna Win is also on my playlist now lol it’s SO GOOD (the animatic) I also loved the I’m Not Crazy animatic

@shavs-media-productions I know you don’t do much IZ stuff anymore, but I REALLY loved your time in the fandom. You’ve made some really awesome stuff, and I love it!

I can’t find their tumblr, but PlayersUnited is mainly known for their Gravity Falls animatics, and when I found out they made IZ ones too, I was so happy! Such an amazing artist, my faves are Ready As I’ll Ever Be and the ZADF Animatic with What Is This Feeling!

@cozymochi so many funny animatics! I died laughing at Whiskey or Perfume, Tubby, Two Shots, Ghost Debate, and the Quarantine one, as silly as it was, it was so good!

@glowstickk I don’t know much about Invader Arcs, but the No One Lives Forever animatic is so GOOD!

I can’t find their tumblr, but Nostalgicpinky has made some great animatics too.

I can’t find their tumblr, but Alitas Buffalo’s I’m Sorry Zombie AU Animatic is SO GOOD and has been one of my all time fave IZ animatics.

I probably missed some, but here’s a YouTube Playlist of all of the best IZ Animatics and some of my personal faves! (It’s mostly animatics, some are clips from the show or somethin)

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

The greatest injustice ever faced is that I almost certainly started the still thriving "clown husbandry" tag on here, but any discussion about it (from a know your meme page to a youtube video with 500k views) says it's a joke of "unknown origin" or credited to this post, likely bouncing off of mine (which was actively circulating at the time with like 30k notes):

This is a tragedy for many reasons, most of all because it wasn't just an offhand joke but actually a direct response to some of the funniest online hate I ever got:

They're erasing the truest history of tumblr: its desperate need to seethe and argue over every obvious joke with more than 10 notes.

anyways here is the canonical pet clown. according to me

Bruce showing someone his kids' pictures from when they were little: "And this is Jason--"

Jason: "That's a picture of Tim, actually--"

Bruce, fumbling with his wallet: "This is Barbara when she was younger--"

Babs: "Steph isn't even a redhead, how are you messing this up?"

Bruce: "This is Cass--"

Steph: "That's literally a cropped baby picture of you. What are you doing?"

Bruce: "You can't see it fully but this is Alfred with Dick--"

Damian: "That used to be a picture of me and Grandfather."

Bruce: "Here's a picture of Tim."

Batkids: *examining it*

Tim: "That... actually could be anyone."

Damian, simultaneously: "It's not ugly enough for Drake."

Bruce, oblivious to the fight breaking out: "And this is Duke."

Duke, spitting out water when he sees it: "How the hell do you have that?"

Dick: "Well at least he's two for ten."

Jason, going through the photos: "Why are some of these fucking stock photos?"

Dick: "You think that's bad? He's got a picture from the circus with Tim circled in the crowd."

I'm not certain as to how many people checked the description of the new hbomberguy video but he linked a playlist to queer creators on youtube!

Your New Favorite YouTubers - Queer YouTubers you should check out, meticulously compiled by Kat.

It's worth a look! Please don't forget to support your fellow queer creators on YouTube whilst spreading memes and jokes about James Somerton and discussing the hbomberguy video!!

EDIT: @cursedgamerchild pointed out THIS REDDIT THREAD made by Kat

Which is a thread to share more discoveries of plagiarism and also to share more queer creators who could use some love! There's also a link to a google form if you don't have reddit and want to share said information.

for context: I read the hobbit first over the course of two years when I was like 13, but I'm only now starting to read lotr. having a blast tho!

anyways, reblog if you feel like it 🙌🏻

You keep telling yourself that Namari.

Genuinely, and I mean this kindly, but learning to recognize bait and not engaging with it will change your fandom experience.

Author’s note: Hey guys! Due to some recent life changes (messy breakup with my boyfriend, turned evil) I’m gonna have to put this fic (“Forbidden Love - A Master Chief x Arbiter Story”) on hiatus. Hopefully I can get back to it soon!! Thanks >_<
