I'm gonna say something that 90% of you will hate but it's what's on my heart—now that we've seen Pedro and Vanessa speak in every interview about how this couple is so passionately in love and dedicated to each other and have been married for decades—I wish we could let this be the ONE Pedro character whose fanfic isn't completely overwhelmed by x reader fic instead of even consiiiidering respecting and exploring his canon relationship 😔
#i'm not dumb i know the answer to this will be: no#and that's fine bc it's a ME issue i guess#i just am already foreseeing myself having to blacklist his tag because i know this is going to bother me#just like i've had to filter joel's tag bc the unrecognizable ooc age gap dbf nonsense was literally making me like him less as a character#and it bums me out#the fandom experiences i came up in never involved reader fic so i'm still a little confused about how for so many people it's just#the default way to engage with canon material as a fan/writer#but it takes all kinds etc etc#i guess i just wish the canon relationship stuff didn't always feel shoved aside

im not here but BY GOD do i fucking miss bts
#at first i was gone bc work/life was very busy and I didn’t have time#but then when I finally had time#getting on here made me actually sad#because I truly truly truly can’t stand that they’re all enlisted#I can’t handle it it makes me so fucking mad and sad and upset#I hate war I hate militarism I hate artists and creatives being forced into conscription and made to carry guns and taught combat#it makes me sick tbh#and obviously that’s no fault of BTS they’re just dealing with the reality of the situation#but I miss them so much and getting on here just reminds me that they have to waste two years of their fucking lives feeding the war machine#and it bums me out#anyways what a dark and upsetting thing to post after being gone for so long#but I really really really really really really really miss BTS rn#and it sucks I can’t enjoy any of their content right now bc thinking about enlistment pisses me off so much :(#text

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.
#this is about fandom but also just generally#I'm seeing a lot of this lately and I don't quite know how to talk about it yet#but man it's bumming me out

I forgot about the Philip Larkin poem in Mom City. This is both my favorite and least favorite episode, and the least favorite parts are almost all entirely Ted. Every scene of his in this ep just gives me fucking complicated feelings, not all bad just really complicated
#i realized im just truly not a fan of the ‘Ted becomes Jamie’s dad’ fic trope bc i feel like ted just doesn’t truly get Jamie#he projects so much onto Jamie I feel like he just doesn’t see him#and it bums me out

absolutely love how early on in the Oregon Parks promo campaign everyone was under the tweets being like "alex what is this" "alex we know it's you" "what are you plotting alex" and now everyone is screaming and crying in the replies for Park Ranger Gus Burnside and asking if he's okay
he got the fandom invested in his twitter roleplay character in the span of ~a week. i'm afraid there's nobody doing it like him— anyone who thinks they can pull off a Gravity Falls revival hoax/troll/etc should quit while they're ahead, truly
#at first seeing everyone referring to alex on the account bummed me out#like let him have his rp fun y'all#but then everyone got there naturally#and i think thats really cute#also im a little sad this couldn't have happened at peak gf fandom#we would've had gus burnside fanart by now#< we already do and i liked one of them in december but forgot lmao#also gus hcs and probably ships#somehow#but its still been super fun and a reminder how special this show is#gravity falls#the book of bill#book of bill#alex hirsch#oregon parks department#gus burnside#bill cipher

i feel like people forget that sometimes characters in fic are written like that because it's a reflection of real life.
people have sex without setting boundaries. people have unprotected sex without talking about their sexual histories or producing recent sti tests. people play with kink without discussing it ahead of time or establishing a safeword. they have anal without 'enough' prep or lube—they may even prefer it like that.
and none of this is really a fantasy. it's all pretty normal. you can feel that it's inappropriately normalised, and you'd probably be right! but it is normalised: one study found that 58% of female undergraduate students on the campus studied had been choked during sex. 20% of those students said that they'd never been asked if it was ok; another 30% said they'd only sometimes been asked if they consented. fully half! (non-paywalled journal article on choking during sex here, including these numbers.) despite a rise in stis of all sorts, condom use is declining. (pdf link to the full text of this study about declining condom use in the us; aidsmap article about an australian study with similar results.)
even when people do talk about things—sex or anything else—they communicate imperfectly. 'yeah, but don't go too far' is consenting and setting a boundary, and also relying that the person you're talking to has the same metric for 'too far' that you do. for some people, 'the trash needs to go out' is a neutral, factual observation; for others, it's a request that the person they're speaking to take out the trash.
even when people understand each other perfectly, people react unpredictably to things sometimes! we behave irrationally! people laugh uncontrollably at funerals, or get angry at the straw that broke their back rather than the enormous load they were already carrying. they get scared and lash out at people trying to help them. when hurt, most people do not instinctively reach for therapy-approved grounding exercises and 'i feel' statements.
pretty much any bad choice that characters could conceivably make is a choice that people make in real life, on purpose, all the time. people do things that can have catastrophic, life-changing effects because it felt like a good idea at the time, or they're leaning into the vibe, or they just didn't think about it all that much, or an infinite number of other reasons.
fiction isn't intended as a guide on the best, safest, and most responsible ways to live your life, and fanfic isn't any different. it's not a narrative flaw to let characters do things that are messy or harmful or downright stupid—it's a reflection of what people are actually like, and not something that authors should feel they have to apologise for.
#fandom#fanfic#writing sex#writing#writing advice#i guess#i know no one is going to read this#but it just bums me the fuck out#people are messy and imperfect#it's part of what makes us interesting and fun tho#characters should be allowed to be messy and imperfect to#echoes linger

I was writing up a post to help encourage folks who’ve always wanted to start a webcomic to dive in- and that they shouldnt have to fear ‘being perfect’ to start one And as I was going along, it made me sad to realise that.. there is an expectation now in the webcomic sphere, as much as I want to deny it (and that it should NOT stop folks from creating!!! please keep creating, no matter your level) I’m bummed out about the changes in the webcomic sphere over the past 5 years, i’m disappointed that there has been changes to this medium that was KNOWN for all of the different skill levels and flavours of so many different creators. I want to combat that. I want to see more beginner art, I want to see that excitment and embracing of growth. I want to see what made webcomics so accessible to so many creators and readers flourish again. Hopefully, if you see this post, and you’ve always wanted to make a webcomic but felt you weren’t ‘good enough’ : Make one anyways. Have fun even if you don’t know all the ‘ins and outs’ of comics. Make one because you’re obsessed with your characters and you wanna share them with the world. Make one just because you can, and not because it has to fit in some impossible standard we’ve forced onto ourselves because of the changing landscape. Start one, and have fun doing it for YOU!
#me talking#webcomic#i'm a little bummed out seeing so many folks scared to start#it IS scary#but also its incredible when you start too#and having ppl think they arent good enough... man.

Copying artstyle off of older Steven and Connie concept art for the heck of it. (And chibis. ┐(´▾`)┌)
The proportions felt awkward to draw, I did end up stretching them a bit. Haha
#Their eyes are so close together. The neck (specially Connie's) so slim and their legs are short#Actually looks nice to be honest haha#I can't study and draw the style much though. That's absolutely going to disorient me when I get back to my own drawing style#them little guys are yippie-ing#connverse#Steven Universe#Connie Maheswaran#Steven Quartz Universe#SU#skedoobles#Actually I was distracting myself because this was such a big bummer of a day!#Like so gloomy literally. Like that Adventure time episode with the party bears being bummed out by a song#Energy sucked out by the bummness#I also overslept so I feel nauseous trying to lie down to sleep#PLUS I was adjusting a drawing and rendering the whole day but I had to scrap it all because the image looked better before I made all that#so it was super extra bummy if that's a word#I need to draw some connverse at least#I really like Connie's outfit in it. Plus with the sun hat? Simple yet extra fun design. I wished they kept it through the final.#*I mean Connie's legs are def longggg. Steven has short legs. Even shorter than how I draw em. It's their heads that are much larger.#SUF#Steven Universe Future#SU Future

Can we hear more about the gay dogs, or ideally see more of them? They live rent-free in my brain.
Have a little sketch then!
#I think I better start having designated rest days when I try to avoid drawing anything#even if it bums me out a bit#because lately my hand has gotten more tired faster and it's getting a little achey#and I don't want to trigger another bout of carpal tunnel syndrome#own art#own characters#CanisAlbus#Machete#Vasco#sketches#wip#answered#someone-called-c
