I just

AH

So every time I find an original artist from tumblr that people have wrongly reposted on Pinterest I find them and have so,show made a habit of going through and just mass-liking a whole bunch of stuff for future reblogs but it always makes me feel bad

So just, if you feel as weirded out by it as my brain is telling me you do if you notice at all, I’m sorry-

I really like your sanders sides art though, it’s cool! I’ve seen a few things about you not being as much into the fandom anymore so sorry if it’s an unwanted comment, it’s just really super neat art.

I would put this anonymously but based off mass notification (though you probably get a lot) it’d be pretty obvious I think.

Actual ASK part I guess: do you take/would you enjoy fanart?

i appreciate how dedicated you are to respecting artists and their works, and i appreciate you doing so for me and mine even after so long of not really being in the Sanders fandom anymore! and i promise you im not bothered even remotely about mass liking/reblogging my art (if my late response is anything to go off of, lol i didnt even notice)

also im always more than happy to receive fanart!!

HI i'm a tommyinnit factive and this is where I go feral !!! I have a misce submission sideblog called @justomegathingss as well but it's mostly inactive because no one ever submits to it lol

I co-host with my in system husband @septiccoffeefreak so we're in front 90% of the time, we're v clingy so we're always co-con or co front lol. I also write septicinnit fanfic w him and I draw fanart so,,,, both posts w us specifically and the general septicinnit RPF ship will be here. u've been warned!!

I have no DNI but I block freely!! I also am pro RPF and proship ("ship and let ship") so like,, if u wanna block me about that u should do dat- I don't post dark content really or consume it because I don't like to personally?? so that won't be on my blog!!! But it's worth noting I support people's right to MAKE that content, and i don't think someone making or consuming dark content means they condone it IRL.

sorry for being radio silent for weeks (suddenly became important at work) then breaking my silence just to reblog beautiful fanart of my beautiful wife (john silver)

quick recap for those who wanna know >:P

hello friends and family :)

sorry for being gone, i finally got to touch grass so i didnt need the delusions to go thru the horrors of everyday :( i am doing well, just been very busy with work and honestly it tuckers me out a lot so i just pass out the moment i get home (not ideal)

re: suddenly becoming important at work

im taking on more responsibilities now (single handedly in charge of merch designs, main designer for a rebranding launch, getting my designs signed up for IP) and probably even more once i get regularized (in two weeks!!)

my personal computer is busted (ant crawled inside the monitor n fucked it up a bunch) been waiting for the past few weeks for the parts to come in, hopefully it will get fixed next weekend. havent been able to draw bc of this and i semi had a breakdown bc i took this as a sign from god that i should get a tablet so i can draw anywhere instead of saving up for big girl pc that could run bg3 in hd (and also run after effects for freelance work ofc haha lol)

bc of that i had less screen time and it made me think abt how i need to consume less and actually take time to create etc etc so ive been trying to get back into more traditional stuff (reading books, writing in a journal, watercolors) and tbh its been v good for me, will prolly continue to do so until i figure out how to balance both (consuming/creating)

last but not the very least, i got a mullet !! v happy about it, my hair has never been fluffier. i've never felt gender-affirmation until i saw myself in this hair :) i feel more like myself now, im v happy i did it :3

anyway that's all for now my lovelies !!! im sorry if this was long and im not even sure if anyone would read thru the whole thing but if u did, thank u !! u a real one n im kissing u on the top of ur head :3

Introduction post

So if you stumble upon my blog and decide to follow, you’ll know what you’re signing up for

I’m a millennial woman from Ukraine who loves a lot of things, but usually hyperfixates on just one fandom at a time.

Right now, it’s Tolkien — especially "The Silmarillion" — and my biggest obsession is Melkor/Mairon (Sauron) ship. Rambling about them is my main source of comfort these days. Also, I reblog A LOT, even if the fanarts/metas/fanfics are ancient, so be ready to see two dark lords in love on your dash basically every day.

A quick but important note: I try to stay open-minded about other people’s headcanons, but personally, I prefer to imagine angbang as non-abusive ship. Not necessarily fluffy (though I enjoy that too), their dynamic could be leaning into the darker side of things — with mutual obsession, codependency, power imbalance — but without transforming into hatred or violence. My Melkor and Mairon loved each other deeply, and they dreamed of ruling the world like a very old and very happy married couple <3

If your take on this ship leans toward Mairon suffering at Melkor's hands, good for you — but we’ll most likely be on different wavelengths.

Another note: I don’t multiship. I have zero issues with angbang fans who enjoy multiple pairings involving Melkor or Mairon — no shade at all — and I’ve got everything I don't like filtered, so it’s not a problem. But I’d really appreciate it if you don’t mention other ships in the notes of my posts. Because there are no exceptions to this rule, no matter how beloved or popular another ship might be. No disrespect, truly — but in my world, the evil husbands have eyes only for each other, and not even Eru could break that bond.

Also I do love a bunch of canon Tolkien ships — especially Thingol /Melian (my faves), Galadriel/Celeborn, Beren/Luthien, etc

My other fandoms and ships I enjoy:

Bleach – Grimmjow/Ulquiorra (my biggest obsession since 2021; and I still adore them deeply, though these days I mostly just enjoy reading what other fans say about them), Ichigo/Orihime, Renji/Rukia, and many more.

Nana – NANAHACHI MY FAVORITE WLW SHIP OF ALL TIME OH MY GOD THEY’RE PERFECT, THEY’RE SOULMATES, THEY’RE WIVES, THEY’RE LOVERS. I don’t ship either of them with men AT ALL (and I’m probably the biggest Nobu hater alive, sorry not sorry).

Demon Slayer - Kokushibo/Muzan, Sanemi x Giyuu, Sanemi x Kanae.

Noragami - Yato/Hiyori, Kazuma/Bishamon, Daikoku/Kofuku, Takemikazuchi/Kiun

Hunter x Hunter - Chrollo/Illumi, Chrollo/Pakunoda, Chrollo/Shalnark, Hisoka/Machi, Leorio/Kurapika

Naruto – Sasuke/Sakura, Kisame/Itachi, Suigetsu/Karin, Neji/Tenten.

Revolutionary Girl Utena – Utena/Anthy, Juri/Shiori, Touga/Saionji.

Oniisama e… – Rei/Nanako, Kaoru/Mariko.

There are honestly too many other fandoms and ships I love — from animanga to movies and TV shows — to list them all, but these are some of the big ones.

Me on twitter too, though I’ve become less active there lately — mostly just sharing fanarts or war-related stuff these days.

Also my Bluesky account, but I’m even less active there.

BTTF Year-End Tag Game!

Thank you to both @bttf-dork and @future-boi for tagging me in this ;w; also pika ur comments about my art WAHHHH ILYSM <33 oTL

This year:

How many times would you guess you watched the first back to the future movie?

Since I only hopped on this time train towards the final third of the year lol: fully all the way through, at least 4! Otherwise I've jumped around a lot while looking for clips and references and stuff. So if I stitch all those together, then we'll say approx 5ish :) The first movie is my favorite one!

Did you get any sweet bttf merch? If so, what?

Noooo, I don't really have any merch for things I like, actually... it gives me too much anxiety to publicly show my interests ;w;

How many cans of Pepsi Free did you chug this year?

None LOL I don't really drink soda to begin with, but if I do, I prefer white (lemon lime) soda anyway :P

What was a favorite bttf fanfic you read this year?

I'm going to be honest, I... don't read fanfic very much. 🫣 I usually end up creating my own stuff (art/writing) when I have free time vs looking at other people's, which ik I need to get better at T_T So I don't have a loooot to rec... that being said I MUST shout out "Emmett's first weather expirement." by @alex-a-fans !!! <3 It is my greatest treasure of the year <333

I also really liked "incredible" by @penny-anna, which I read before I officially entered le fandom ;w; lone pine doc and baby marty my beloveds !!!!!

Finally, like basically all of the Doctober prompts from @doctorbrown *O* Days 8, 22, and 30 are some of my favorites, but I really recommend them all oTL theyre SOOO GOOOOOD !!!!!

A favorite bttf fanart you saw this year? (please give us a link, not a screencap/repost!)

See: everything I reblogged. Jk but fr, everyone is so so talented it's really hard to choose :'0 Here's a bunch of some of my faves in no particular order!!

[x] from @hearts-for-winona | [x] from @maxintime | [x] from @future-boi | [x] from @bttf-dork | [x] from @synthsays and @daryfromthefuture | [x] from @therobotwig | [x] from @22194isbestboy | [x] from @mythical-bookworm | [x] from @mkayeatsspaghetii | [x] from @tobytost / @tobytost-star

Did you create any bttf fanart or fanfic? If you did, what one(s) are you proudest of?

Yes I did !!! It is actually the most fan content I've ever made for a fandom since I was in... maybe junior high? So like YUH. Tbh, it's very difficult for me to find what you would call 'pride' in my art so ehh >_>; that being said, I do think that I had a lot of good IDEAS for Doctober (esp days 19 and 28), but my execution wasnt really the best. I would have liked to draw days 17 and 24 (+ time travel day) a little more properly too; like, I'm not as disappointed at how they turned out, but I still wish they were better and/or I could have given them more time. The ones I most actually-tried-and-dont-mind are days 7, 9, and 21 + under the sea dance day. (So many links was probably cheating but tbf I've kinda bent the rules for the past few questions so... whatevs lol). I've ALSOOO still been working on my godforsaken essay, it is 40 pages rn but even tho it's not done, I'm INSANELY proud of it Q_Q

How many times were you late for school this year?

None! B) For one thing I'm graduated lol, but also I'm typically early gang. I'm that person who'd sit in the classroom by myself for like 5 minutes before everyone else would show up LMBO ^^;

Did you watch any other movies/tv shows with BTTF actors in them?

Yess I did!! A... lot actually :0 Most of them were by chance/pre bttf era, but still :P Here is my list as well as I could find, sorry it is soooo long, but what are ya gonna do:

Star Wars/The Mandalorian; The Addams Family (1991); The Tale of Desperaux (2008); Cyberchase; & Clue (1985) -- Christopher Lloyd, havent rewatched the latter 3 since I was a kid and literally went :0 to learn he apparently was in them. Also Kings Quest (2015) which isn't a movie/show but I think it counts uwu

Stuart Little (1999) -- Michael J. Fox, which also rocked my world to discover O_O like hearing it now I'm like "yeah thats him alright" but as a kid I would never have been able to tell you that was the same guy from that time travel movie, despite watching both way too much LMBO

Elf (2003) & Last Vegas (2013) -- Mary Steenburgen, nothing much to say except that she slayed ^_^

Love at the Christmas Table (2012) -- Lea Thompson, I didn't care for it and was shouting "LEA GET OUT OF THIS MOVIE, UR BETTER THAN THIS" like the whole time lol.

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) & Curious George (2006) -- apparently these have Donald Fullilove (Goldie Wilson) in them? Same w Jason Scott Lee (Whitey) in Lilo & Stitch (2002)??? And Star Wars/Kenobi show apparently had Flea (Needles)????? ...HUH.

I binged both the entirety of Law and Order: SVU as well as Seinfeld this year w my sister; apparently Mary Steenburgen, Lea Thompson, & Casey Siemaszko (3-D) are in at least one episode of the former, while Elsa Raven (Clocktower Lady) and Ricky Dean Logan (Data) are apparently in a random episode of Seinfeld each. So like, technically I saw them, tho I don't distinctly remember it :'D Also, I have been making my way through Little House on the Prairie recently, which has Matt Clark (Chester the Bartender) in a few episodes !

Finally finally finally, I watched I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017), as well as the LOTR trilogy like. Twice? And they all have Elijah Wood of course >:3c

Was there a memorable moment you heard a Huey Lewis song this year?

None in the wild, no :P But I did end up being in the top 0.1% of listeners for Huey Lewis this year... so UHHHHH take that as u will LMBO

How many times did you fall down this year?

Hmmm idk?? Probably at least 1 I would think ???

Did you get to see BTTF: The Musical? What was your experience like!

Nooo, I didn't even know it existed until like October !!! It looks super fun but atm/last I checked it doesn't come to where I live so :( I should listen to the soundtrack soon!

How many times did your mom retell the story of how she and your father met?

At least three times, and then probably a few times I'm forgetting :P

If you could describe your year in a BTTF quote, which one would it be?

The year in general is definitely "Oh great, the atrocity channel!" LMBO (but when hasn't it been since like... 2020? 2016???). For me personally, I think it's either "I don't know if I could take that kind of rejection." or "Don't talk to anyone, don't touch anything, don't do anything, don't interact with anyone, and try not to look at anything." ^^;

⚡️LIGHTNING ROUND⚡️ Did you get to: go on any trains, skate on a skateboard, ride a horse, drive a Delorean, run in the rain, go to a dance, hang up a clock, play the guitar, pull an all-nighter, read science fiction, or drive thru Burger King this year?

Your future is whatever you make it! So what are you going to make of this coming year?

I think I'm going to try to post more of the things I make, like my art and especially my writing ;w; Most of the time I'm quite George-ish and am too scared to put any of my stuff out there, for fear that no one will like it, so... I need to get better about that. Also I'd LIKE to get a full-time job and my own place some time next year, but we will see !!!

Idrk who to tag :0 ik @brinkle-brackle @mythical-bookworm and @alex-a-fans have already been tagged but havent technically done it yet... maybe also @backintime @tobytost @ectojester @stillpreoccupiedwith1985 @itsthemorph @doctorbrown @knickynoo and @fourth-dimensional-thinker :) but no pressure to do it, just didnt catch if youd been tagged or not!

[plagueislost]

Hii, for the artist ask game: number 4 and 10 is something I'd love to know :3

i wrote A LOT for this ask, sorry! i wanted to do the questions justice, yknow how it is.

4. piece you wish got more love?

Ive found from experience that original art tends to not do very well on social media, which kind of makes me sad. It's not much of a problem for me (because most of the stuff i post is fanart anyways) but i can't help but think that part of the reason i rarely ever draw original pieces or make OCs is because of the lack of feedback i get on social media. I know tumblr is supposed to be the fandom website, and maybe id have a different experience on another site, but it is disappointing when i post something original that I'm very proud of and it barely manages to get more than 20 notes, whereas something i like less easily surpasses 100 just because of the tags i put on it. i think the most recent example of this is this piece, which admittedly did get quite a few notes for an original piece, but definitely would have gotten more had it been fanart of the same caliber. this is also not to blame anyone or make anyone feel bad about not reblogging original art (god knows im guilty of that too, and art piggybacking off the popularity of other works of art are of course gonna get more notes), its just something ive noticed from my time on social media.

10. how do you deal with artblock?

i dont get art block very often, but when i do, its ANNOYING. it mostly manifests in me having a bunch of motivation for a part of my process that i cant get to without doing the stuff i have no desire to do (does that make any sense?). like, ill have a strong urge to render an artwork, but no ongoing WIPs that are at that stage, meaning i would have to sketch and color and shade a whole new piece before i could satiate that urge, or do the steps out of order which could mess up the flow and end look of a project. when i get like this, i find its best to try and translate those desires into different activities and take a step away from art. for example:

if i want to sketch, but nothing comes out right digitally, ill find a scrap piece of paper and a crappy pen and make thumbnails until i cant think of any other iterations of the ideas in my head. if one of them turns out good, ill take a picture and transfer it into my software, but only go over it a day or so later so i can have fresh eyes.

if i want to color, but i have no sketches currently ready for coloring, ill go into my photo editing program, find some random old photos that i never edited, and post-process them until i get something im happy with.

if i want to shade, but have no colored artworks ready for that, ill usually do a study of a photo ive taken, because most of the time me shading is really me wanting to see how light and shadow interact in certain scenarios. i actually did a whole AP portfolio on that because i liked shading and lighting so much!

if i want to render, but ive got no pieces ready for rendering, i find its easiest just to find a tedious activity where i can be a perfectionist but also feel like im the smartest person in the world. this generally turns into me cooking some big meal because its constantly engaging but also not that difficult. i know its probably weird for it to not have anything to do with art but this is just what works best for me, and i get the bonus of a nice meal at the end of it!

if i get the more classic kind of art block where everything sucks and nothing i make is good, i find its best to go back to the media that inspires me to make art, and not worry too much about having made something by the end of it. generally the media that inspires me ends up, well, inspiring me, and i can remind myself that art is a voluntary practice that i do because its fun, not because i want something out of it. if it doesnt manage to inspire me, thats okay, i can just tell myself im taking a break and live life for a bit.

i hope that was helpful, and i really enjoyed answering these questions! if anyone else wants to ask a question, the artist ask game is here.

[hunkpurveyor]

I watched all of the final season of She-Ra in one go on Friday night, up till 5am like a real diehard, only occasionally stopping between episodes to breathe, to try and regain some composure, to get some water to make up for all the crying I’d been doing.

The ending, the whole season was perfect but I don’t really want to get too much into why here, though over the past 36 hours I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it all. I keep coming back to these beautiful and terrifying moments and being again overwhelmed by emotion. And I don’t want to stop. I am not used to being emotional about things, especially about tv shows. I usually have very shallow emotional responses even to media that I really like, which over time has become increasingly frustrating to me. My experience of life is grey, it is a long march into a finite number of tomorrows, fuelled by blind stubbornness and an acceptance that I’m just like this, that I was never going to be happy, really. 

But now I am so full up with feeling, a feeling I cannot really even explain, and it is so different to have this constantly bursting and glowing thing in my stomach that I am afraid of losing it. I don’t want to go back to greyness and emptiness. Every time I go back to certain moments of the show, like a charm, I worry a little of their lustre will rub off, that they will become less vital, less galvanising, until they are all used up. Isn’t that the way of things? That everything fades and becomes familiar and loses its power? But I want to live in these moments forever - a rescue, a kiss, and maybe most of all a confession stricken by hurt: “She doesn’t want me.... not like I want her.” In that instant forever, eternally realising, loving fully and openly and eternally grieving, feeling the full failure of your life, the yawning of distance, feeling feeling feeling. I do not know the answer to this fear, but part of the reason for it is that so few other things ever affect me this way.

Crying is hard for me. I cannot remember if it was ever easy but being... a man and growing up in a family that did not really do emotional expression has meant that it feels a lot like choking to me. I have to muscle through it, pushing, heaving the feeling out of my face, or I will just sit, feeling sadness ferment into suffering inside me. But it was easier, not easy I think, but easier watching this show, a kids show, a cartoon, than it ever has been and I’ve been trying to puzzle out why. What else has ever made me feel this way - heart so full and tender. And I’m not a lesbian, or a girl, I’m some persuasion of queer and some kind of gender and a lot older than most of the fans, so why this story, for me so crucial? 

Thinking again about that moment - “Not like I want her,” and Catra’s whole arc, this terrible warcrimes lesbian that spent four seasons doing nothing but fuck up and get her feelings hurt, coming out of a place of such woundedness and rage to finally ask for what she wants. And she gets it. She is healed. It is the ghost that love is still possible. That we will win in the end. That it is not too late. There is still a chance to do good things, to come out of our grief and our hurt and deserve love. To be so dirty and so broken and so ruined and to come back clean into a better world. 

And I honestly don’t know if I can but this let me dream of it, for a moment. I am clinging to the moment. 

[iraprince]

Heyo! Any advice on struggling to get your art seen in the world? I feel like no matter how much I post, or what I post, people never see it or seem to like it. I love art and am pursuing it as a career (hence why Im getting a degree in it currently lmao) but its kind of disheartening to work really hard on something, post it, and no one sees it.

oh, man. i'm afraid for this one i don't feel like i have a lot of solid advice. having a large-ish following online feels like something that kind of just, like, Happened to me, mostly on accident/in ways outside of my control, and even if i had some ideas on how to potentially replicate those gains i don't think they'd work consistently. (also, a lot of my large jumps in follower count came from mental health related work going viral bc it's #relatable; this is something i have complicated feelings about and it's absolutely not a viable, like, "strategy" or something that i would recommend, in the way that ppl can say like, "fanart gets attention!" or stuff like that.)

so, i don't have advice for how to actually GET those eyes on your art; i can maybe help with making ppl more likely to STAY once they do find you, and how to build a following that will actually help you maintain a living from your work -- bc i have TONS of peers w a following a fraction of the size of mine who get more jobs than me, are doing cooler/more "professional" stuff than me, etc! (heads up that most of my experience is on twitter; i know less than nothing about places like instagram + tiktok, and while tumblr functions very differently from twitter i feel like i handle things mostly the same here, aside from doing less personal posting/being less talkative and not 'networking' or following many people).

SCROLLING BACK UP TO ADD A SPOILER ALERT: AS ALWAYS I HAVE SAID "HAHA IDK I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY ADVICE" AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TYPE A FULL ESSAY. IF YOU ARE ON DESKTOP YOU CAN HIT THE 'J' KEY TO SKIP THIS POST. IF YOU'RE ON MOBILE, I'M SORRY

a very important thing, especially professionally: it HAS to be easy to see what you do. (this is easier here on tumblr, where u can have a designated art tag etc, than on twitter, which is an awful website that sucks. <- guy who makes all his money on twitter) this means, like -- if i see something from you and get curious and click your profile, it should only take one more click to quickly see at least SOME of your art. on a professional account, it's probably best for your icon to be your own work, something snappy and memorable and eye-catching that reads well at a small size; people shouldn't have to dig for 20 minutes before they can start browsing your art. on twitter, this means TRY not to gunk up your media tab with a ton of reaction images/screencaps of your gacha pulls/etc; on here, it means make your art tag easy to find; on any website, a portfolio link, prominently displayed, is the best bet. (i am still working on that one myself lmao and i've been working professionally full time for a few years now so like, there are outliers and wiggle room on all of this).

next! it's great when your audience finds you, but you have to find them, too. find artists who do similar stuff to you and get into their stuff -- sincerely, not just as "networking." (like only do this with ppl whose stuff you actually think is cool, not just trying to get in mutuals with everyone you see in hopes of a bump, obviously.) get interested in other indie artists, find the people who are working/publishing in the spaces that are exciting and aspirational for you, and support them! i don't want it to sound cynical when i say there's a kind of give-and-take built into this; the point is not "well, if i reblog/retweet a bunch of YOUR stuff, maybe you'll feel obligated to boost mine in return," but that when you find other artists/creatives who are on the same wavelength as you, you will naturally stumble into pools of people who want to support art like yours, and you and your newfound peers will help each other when you hype each other's stuff up and direct followers to each other! (again re: things going differently on dif websites: this is twitter-specific for me, bc i use my tumblr as a gallery/portfolio. that doesn't mean it doesn't happen here tho! it can and does happen everywhere!)

it is really not a competition. i know that SOMETIMES it is in like, a really nitty-gritty numbers sense; people only have so much money to spare, they will make choices about whose patreon they can afford/what comic to buy/etc, that's true. but to me that's not competition. people who are sincerely into your stuff will hang on until they can afford it; maybe that means someone follows you for two whole years before the planets align and they have the budget/opportunity to commission you. by hanging out in similar circles you are not taking potential business or opportunities away from anyone else, nor are you risking leading your own audience to Someone They'll Like Better; you're just offering more options, and the internet is VAST and endless, and EVENTUALLY people will show up who are into YOUR STUFF, SPECIFICALLY. helping each other is never going to stifle or delay that!!

and my final chunk of advice is the one i give constantly that everyone is probably super sick of hearing but i just seriously seriously believe in it, even tho i know it's slow to pay off and hard to follow: keep doing exactly what you want to. keep doing it!!! you have to!!! yes, i mean the stuff that's getting like, 2 likes and 0 reblogs! the stuff that 'nobody likes!'

earlier i mentioned i have gotten big follower bumps from like adhd comics and stuff like that going viral. the thing is that, from a professional standpoint: my follower count has like, more than quintupled from where it was at a few years ago; my patreon income has absolutely NOT quintupled lmfao. it has less than doubled, over that same period of like... i wanna say over 4 years. that's still good, i'm grateful for it, and i owe a lot of it to the sheer numbers game (the more ppl see ur work, the more likely it is you'll reach someone who decides to support you), but there is absolutely not an actual direct correlation between numbers and career success/stability.

where there IS a direct correlation is between "people who give a shit about the art i really truly love making" and "people who like my art enough to support me professionally." HUGE chunks of the followers i get any time something goes viral slough off over time; there's nothing wrong with that, they just follow me bc something was funny/interesting and end up realizing my work's not actually their thing. but the ppl who follow me bc they're into all the stuff i post most consistently, the stuff i care about and am passionate about, stick around. and i would not have found them if i wasn't posting the shit i care about!

out there there are people who will be 100% crazy about the stuff that is 100% what you want to make. it's like actually statistically impossible for there not to be. the more niche your thing is, the longer it will take to find them, but they absolutely exist. but if you give up before you find them -- if you start saying, "well, i'll put in 50% of this idea that i love, but the other 50% is too weird and nobody's gonna like it and it'll flop" -- well, in that case, you can only ever find the ppl who are 50% into what you do. don't fuck yourself like that!! you cannot deny yourself the possibility (the INEVITABILITY!!! IMO!!!!!) of finding the people who will 100% get what you're doing.

so: on a pragmatic level, i'm sure there will be ppl who disagree with me on this, and who think it's absolutely mandatory to do fanart as a crowd draw or learn about algorithms and posting times and get on tiktok and do the visibility grind and everything and that it's stupid and irresponsible to tell people not to. i'm sure it's also easy to point out that i'm speaking from a place where i now have more eyes on my stuff than i know what to fucking do with so maybe i'm just totally out of touch and being naive or something. but for me the most important part of doing art now, ESPECIALLY as a career, is to keep loving it and to believe in what i'm doing and to build an audience that cares about the same things i do. and i think it is really really vital to make that your top priority. bc if you don't, then even if you DO crack the code to suddenly getting tons of notes on everything etc -- will you even keep wanting to do it?

this job is hard. it's lonely, in my experience; i spend so much time sitting in front of my computer alone. it's unstable, which is stressful and can be frightening. it's emotionally taxing, for me, because art is so important to me that it's hard to set boundaries and separate my identity from it and actually treat it like a job. it has taken me a long time to find success doing this; maybe i could have gotten there faster if i had tried to find ways to draw an audience specifically, but i think if i had somehow managed to get a big patreon following/tons of commissioners/etc by doing something formulaic or doing stuff that specifically gets tons of attention, but isn't what's natural for me -- i don't think i would have lasted very long that way. this is already hard and complicated enough; i don't think it's sustainable to give up any unnecessary ground on doing exactly what you're passionate about, bc at least in my case, that's mandatory for this even being a livable career for me. i would burn out and decide to do something else very quickly if the only way to succeed was to chase numbers/engagement.

doing it this way is very slow. if i hadn't been able to lean on family/my wife while starting up, i would have had to have a day job for much longer (like, years, probably) while saving up and preparing to go full time; for as long as you struggle to get traction, it may mean going full time has to be on the backburner. but the thing is that there's nothing wrong with that, it's the reality for the vast majority of us (from what i've seen) -- and you'll eventually build a career that can last way longer, i think.

okay oh my god i'm done. sorry about that. like i said this job is pretty lonely and i sit here all day and think about this stuff and then generally do not talk about it with anyone until somebody asks me about it and then i repeat myself at length again. like i did here. anyway have a good night sincerely and i hope some part of this was helpful!!!

I also read your reblog that explained further, and I agree!! I didn't think I would've wrote this much in my reblog (oops!) so I'm adding a cut just to not clog everyone's feed

TL;DR: fans r mostly gooners & they mischaracterize everyone for the sake of marketing, probably?

when I say Danmachi is amazing that is exactly what I mean - it has a ton of potential, but as every other anime made for a certain demographic, it has insane fanservice. and either ways fans will see everything as a way to ship.

there's a bunch of people that goon over the latest arc, while in reality what Freya's been doing to Bell is just insane and he is definitely not "enjoying it" just because she's hot. and trust me, ILoveFreya2754, you don't want to be Bell in this situation.

there's a few faint hints of mythology references scattered thru the whole series (my favorite being, for example, the whole Argonaut/Theseus parallelism), but it often doesn't go past a character having a single personality trait as the original god/goddess they're inspired to. also there's a few references in the aliases (like, in Freya Familia a bunch of their aliases recall Norse mythology in a way). But yeah, they could add a lot more.

Bell has been downgraded to the average anime male protagonist that needs to necessarily get every girl, in order to satisfy the watchers/readers that want to feel like that's their self insert. I mean, the title is "is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon" but that's because 1. it's the standard longass title type for a light novel 2. I think it kinda makes fun of Bell's grandpa's stories and wants to show us how Bell learned a bunch more things from being an adventurer - not only "getting girls". He's meeting new people, discovering new places, he's currently challenging himself to be better in order to reach Ais' level and I think THAT is what people should focus on. Like, bro, this motherfucker is fourteen and he's so fucking STRONG????

Plus he's not OP - he might have the Hestia Knife/Liaris Freese plot armor-ish feature BUT let's not forget he had to train physically with Ais in order to properly learn how to fight. He already had the tools, but he had to master them first.

As for Hestia, she was probably intended to be like that - kinda generic, always with her tits practically almost out, and swooning/being jelly over Bell. As the first female character they introduce in the series (the first one actually should be Ais but whatever) she's supposed to be iconic and recognizable, and immediately cater to the demographic I was talking about earlier (never got if Danmachi is a shonen or a seinen but, overall, boys). And, I mean, they kinda managed to do that pretty good! Whenever I see crossover fanarts, unless it's someone that really likes Danmachi, they're gonna draw someone in Hestia's clothes sooo, yeah. #marketing

I thiiink i touched all your points, sorry for the huge reblog but as a big big Danmachi fan I hate when the story gets reduced to "average isekai fantasy anime boy gets all the bitches and that's it" and I felt like sharing that I feel exactly like u 🙆‍♀️

I just remembered Danmachi exists and I actually really really love Danmachi but I do have critiques

One is how Hestia is depicted, it really bugs me. I really like Hestia don’t get me wrong but I really wish they leaned more into her mythology, also her love for Bell makes me uncomfy

Honestly for a lot of the gods I wish they leaned more into their mythological selves, like Apollo, they butchered him, which makes me sad

Another thing is what feels like the blatant disregard for Bell’s desires and boundaries, some of his interactions feel extremely uncomfortable and grimy because a reminder, Bell is only 14, he’s literally just a kid, and the poor boy is a victim

Again I really love Danmachi and think it’s really interesting but I think it could have been handled better and I wish it wasn’t so, fan servicey if you catch my drift

✨️intro post✨️

I edit this over time so please check it kinda often for updates esp the last part with some posts I really like/ that I used real life braincells on, and the beginning for if I add more sideblogs. If you have LITERALLY ANY other questions not answered here, shoot me an ask in my inbox and I will probably answer. If I think it's in good faith but poor taste I'll just say that, so if you're being nice I won't be mad or at least I'll like the attention :3

I'm thatonesongyouretryingtoremember. Song for short and OneSong for long. Or Remy??? I use all pronouns or it/it's. My other blogs are @aroasexualboypussy which is a regular sideblog where I keep fandom rbs besides my own fandoms and spam rbs and @jupiter-jayfield-official which is a Mikhailgate blog/El appreciation blog kinda.I also made a blog called @twasagraveyardsmash and that's my "music blog" aka rambling, keysmashing, and reblogging about music I like, someone likes, or my other music- related posts. I have another ST rp blog as Max- @madmaxmayfield71 , and at some point I started a blog called @byler-freeze-book with the intention of it being a byler tag positivity blog but it kinda flopped. You can still send asks there tho <2 @angelbymadonna is my art blog. I also have a Miraculous roleplay blog as Zoe's superhero form, Vesperia @the-real-bee-holder-vesperia

Tumblr-spouse to @exhausted-enby-vibes <2, coparent of Mikhail Max

My blog used to have this glitch where it was hidden, but I didn't do anything to cause that, so if you see smthng lemme know. I also am still confused by tags on here, so lemme know if I tag something wrong. I also reblog most of the art I see, but I don't always know who's in it, so if I end up reblogging a problematic fanart on accident (which I haven't done yet) lemme know as well.

Hashtags I use

#song spouts bullshit, shitposts/non-ST posts

#song says a smart thing, new tag I'm gonna put on longer posts

#songs textpost bullshit, or #song's textpost bullshit, original textpost memes and meme formats

#artist song, my original art [find it on my art blog as well, linked above] [includes ficlets and visual art, the latter with image description]

#song's st rewatch, details and commentary while I watch the show!

#angela is jane, #angela ives, a theory I elaborate on further down in this post

Blog type/ content (I say content, what I mean is it's what my blog contains. It's for me, not you.)

I'll talk about my ST stuff first since that's what I'm primarily posting rn. I'm a fandom blog and will be for the foreseeable future. As far as ST, I have alot of ship content, but in my other fandoms I don't care as much about shipping. You can ask me about fandoms/media I like maybe :)

I ship elmax, byler, Lumax, hopclair, elumax, jargyle, jancy, Boyce, jopper, boycer, duzie, and a few other things. I also reblog some ronance, steddie, byclair etc content as well. My favorite ST character is Kali. Occasionally you'll see my blog possessed by the soul of a Kali disciple or elmax fangirl. I also some fandom posts besides my own if I'm reblogging art from my mutuals' reblogs ofc.

I post a bunch of shitposts about Stranger Things, and longposts related to theories or analysis I'm into at the time.

I am still not over Mikhailgate, btw. Even though I personally think Mikhail ships byler, alot of my mikhailgate content is willhail.

I also read KotLC, riordanverse (I've read 1-14 of chb chronicles and most of 15 and obv not Chalice yet, 1-2 Kane Chronicles, 1-3 mcga, and none of the spinoffs so far. Can't wait for the show!), and I watch The Owl House, Dragon Prince, and She-Ra 2018. I'm not as avidly in fandom for these but I like them. If there's something else you think I might like or don't know if I've seen/read, lemme know! At the time I'm writing this update, I'm sorry into Miraculous Ladybug! but I haven't seen the second half of S5 yet.

Stuff I want you to know

I have a detailed post about the history of mikhailgate.

My Spotify has tons of character playlists!

I have a theory about Kali's time at the lab which is actually a thinly disguised rant about her halfway finished arc.The theory is ass and I no longer believe it, but the rant still stands and I still believe she has more to offer.

^^pretty obviously not gonna happen but I like to keep it up :) it's an old theory that I no longer believe but I still think she should be in the next szn!!!

I wrote a thing about the Material Girl shopping sequence aka about El my beloved nobody else understands her <2.

Nancy and Steve are aromantic. (Check the respective tags as well, I have more)

Byler Week 2022

I'm right about El, nobody else. Jk but here's my super smart ST5 prediction! Aka thinly disguised El Hopper fangirl rant😅😅

Once again I'm the only correct person (/nsrs) so here's the official list my take of the party's riordanverse godly parents

Check out this post and this one and this one to start learning about the theory that Angela is the real Jane Ives!

There are tags for it too, #angela is jane, and #angela ives, make sure to check them out because there is always new input! This is related to the theories that El is actually not Terry's daughter, that El *is* Edward Creel's daughter (I'm not the guy to ask about those, shoot me an ask and I'll tell you who tho!) And that multiple timelines exist within what we see of Stranger Things!

The King of LBTwt

I’m so sorry it is almost 3 am and this is probably so bad. It isn’t proofread but I had to get this idea out there. 

Social Media AU Ladrien where Marinette is a VTuber It started off as a joke--mostly. One evening while mindlessly scrolling through her twitter, Marinette stumbled across something interesting someone she followed reblogged. It was a clip of a streamer, who was using a virtual avatar in place of where a face cam would be. Finding this odd, and a little funny, Marinette looked into it a little more. It turned out that this was something that was becoming more and more popular for video game streamers. There were a variety of different characters, with a bunch of unique characteristics. These characters were placeholders for the actual streamers, giving them the anonymity they wanted while giving viewers a face to match the voice to. Marinette had to admit it was a genius concept. 

So of course Marinette did the logical thing, she decided to mess around and create a virtual avatar for herself instead of working on any of the many assignments she had for her university courses. She wasn’t planning on streaming, it was just a fun side project to put her limited art skills to use. Using google and whatever free programs she could get her hands on, Marinette designed what would later be known as the first version of her new persona: Ladybug. 

Ladybug’s cartoon appearance matched up with Marinette’s slightly. Their hair color was the same, with Ladybug’s hair placed in two buns on the top of her head, with little red ribbons sticking out from beneath them. Her eyes were a little more blue, and the proportions were a lot more cartoony. Marinette modeled a mask over her eyes, just a simple spotted mask. She was inspired by one of the many other avatars she’d seen, and figured giving her own character a “schtick” would make designing her more fun--hence the name. 

The truth was, Marinette never intended to stream. She was just going to let the avatar files collect metaphorical dust in the corner of her computer storage, something to run into ever so often and smile fondly at. But, the more Marinette thought about it, the more it felt like an injustice. She spent so long on it, she wanted to be able to use Ladybug at least once. So, while on break between semesters, she decided that streaming ever so often wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s not like she’d have a following, or would have to worry about disturbing anyone. Thanks to the generous compensation she received from Jagged Stone for any and all “fashion emergencies”, she had more than enough money to live comfortably in a small apartment not far from her university.  So what was the harm in streaming her playing some Mecha Strike Online every once in a while? Apparently none. 

In fact, Marinette gained a following rather quickly. While she wasn’t one of the top streamers--not by a long shot--she had a little over a thousand people on her streams some nights. It didn’t matter what she was playing, whether it were Mecha Strike or Stardew Valley, people enjoyed her commentary and sarcasm. Before she knew it, she had to make separate social media accounts to avoid people pretending to be her. 

Marinette didn’t expect to enjoy streaming so much. She made sure to mention often that she was just a casual streamer, and that she wasn’t planning on making this her full time career--her passion was in designing after all--and even made a point to donate a majority of any money she made from streaming to charities. It was a good way to relax, though. And the community was nice enough.

In particular, Marinette enjoyed observing the twitter community. A group of people who enjoyed her content called themselves “LBTwt”. They clipped her streams, made fanart of her avatar, and would randomly tag her in memes. Some people sent her encouragement, and some would simply clown on her in a lighthearted manner. Marinette was amazed by the community, and interacted with them ever so often to show her appreciation. 

There was one user in particular though who seemed to be popping up the most. A twitter user who used the handle “@buggaboy” and had dubbed himself “King of LBTwt”. He tweeted at her more than anyone, commented under all of her posts, and even sent things to her DMs. While Marinette avoided her DMs like the plague, she couldn’t help but laugh at his other interactions with her. He never said things like “thanks bestie” like many others took to doing. Instead, he borderline waxes poetic about the clip of her reading out his “Ladybug my beloved” Super Chat during a YouTube stream.  His tweets were never creepy though, just admiration and respect in a dorky and overly grandeur way.

Marinette enjoyed his antics, and one day found herself scrolling through his Twitter feed. Part of it felt a little egotistical, but she figured he wanted her to see it anyway, considering he tagged her in most of his posts. What posts weren’t dedicated to her were dedicated to his black cat. It was this black cat that led to Marinette’s life taking a wild turn for the second time. 

Because there was only one person who was dorky enough to name their black cat Plagg. And only one person who owned the expansive anime figurine collection in the photo she was staring at on her phone, the familiar black cat pawing at a Naruto figure that she distinctly remembers saving up for as a birthday present. 

The King of LBTwt was none other than Adrien Agreste.

[rpgchoices]

Thank you this was so nice and kinda encapsulated my feelings. Mainly because I come from very strict fandom etiquette of "don't like, don't watch/read" and "don't leave negative comments on fandom creations, ex. Fanfics".

I also did not see that "don't fight with strangers on my blog" critique, which is pretty funny if you've been following me because I had a very big long fight about what constitutes queer games some months ago. Also my blog is not a poll blog 😅 just a random "my fav videogames" and "recs" one.

I was happy to make the Wyll video because I have ton of Wyll footage given I tried a bunch of options for him and Astarion. But I do not have other videos and I'm not comfortable stealing people's playthroughs, I can only use mine.

While I could have used only footage of Wyll this means... excluding all the romance scenes which is why he won the poll. And excluding a big chunk of Wyll scenes. People who know the character and played the game with Wyll in party actually know far too well that Wyll has a bunch of "standing there and dialogue" but much less "quest scene".

For example, for a Shadowheart video between act one and act two I could have used her introduction, her at the beach and recruiting her again (she has four variants of this), her playing with the astral pole, the drinking at the party, seeing the Selune temple, her dream, her wound hurting her, meeting the Nightsong twice etc.

But for Wyll - well, if you've played with his character you know he has less scenes. In act one I got all those Shadowheart scenes and for Wyll instead: his intro, training with the children, meeting Karlach, calling for his father, Mizora turning him into a devil and Mizora again which is a very similar (visually) scenes to the other Mizora ones and it seems like that's it. The rest is just him standing there which for edits is pretty repetitive.

Because the game gives so little content I also think romance (and romancing him) is what helps add more scenes. Which is also my way to recommend to people to try his romance and keep him in the party. A lot of his humour and character really shines through his banter and party comments.

Sorry for the long rant, I also wanted to answer to some people wondering why Wyll won - well, he is the character of romance. I found it quite fitting that he won. His romance scenes are probably some of the best and most personal he has, even during his quest in act three - the consequences of your choices in that quest are mainly shown through his romance scene and the two (fail/success) have very different specific scenes. You could say "it's the same with Astarion", but with Astarion you also have a very big scene during the quest, the quest is much more centred on him. While getting to Ansur only gives Wyll minimal focus.

So yeah, sorry I derailed the post. But yeah, romance him! And remember fandom etiquette about fandom creations, it really sucks to have your vid/fic/fanart being reblogged with "you did it wrong"/"we were talking right now about how wrong and annoying it was".

The WINNER of the Tournament of fav tumblr rpg male romances is...

The Master of the Vollante

The Babe of Frontiers

The Heart of the Gate

WYLL RAVENGARD

Enjoy this two minute FANVIDEO DEDICATED TO HIM (don't miss the final quote, it is my favorite), I used the most appropriate song ever. Congrats, Wyll with a y!

(he is the hero, but he also needs a hero to sweep him off his feet, get it?)

With about 1235 votes, Wyll beat Garrus in the finals of the tournament. This gives him the title of best tumblr rpg blorbo and babygirl.

(more under cut about the Wyll's sweep and his character)

Wyll jumped into the tournament qualifying among 69 total characters, and being the most voted of his section in round zero! Wyll was also the most voted OVERALL in round one where he got about 6420 votes against Cullen (88% of votes). Round two saw him winning a very close competition against Zevran, and in round three he won with almost double the votes against Astarion! Again with double the votes he won against Dorian Pavus in the semifinals!

Very appropriate for him to win as his character is truly a romantic at heart and his actor even revealed in an interview that the romantic scenes were his favorite to film.

Wyll is a companion and romancable option for any gender in Baldur's Gate 3. You will meet him while he is in pursuit of a devil, just to find out that the honor and code he is trying to live by might be clashing with the path he could be choosing.

Wyll's romance has a kiss that has been nominated (and won) for "favorite kiss ever in a rpg game by me and for my opinion only and I just love it".

Man who will crack a joke when you least expect it

EVEN WHEN IT REALLY IS NOT THE TIME

Just to turn around and offer you the most heart shattering and unwavering support

Monster smasher (in all senses) hero, who truly needs someone at his side who makes sure he fights his own battles too, not just the trials of the coast!

Very happy to see he is currently (with all the biases and limitations of such polls, of course) the favorite romance in the rpg fandoms here on tumblr (for male characters)!!

Please, make sure to also jump in the female characters tournament!!

Also, CONGRATULATIONS TO GARRUS who came second in the tournament, and FENRIS who came third! (as he had more votes than Dorian, in the semifinals)

*In the fanvideo there are the seven clips that are not from Wyll games. I wanted to write them down as this is supposed to be a rec for his romance, so I don't want to trick people!

00:16 I modded Wyll into Karlach and used Astarion as player character (Karlach romance scene act 3)

00:38 Astarion romance scene, I played as Wyll but I flipped the character with the ring of metamorph mod so Wyll could pick up Astarion

00:50 Like the first clip, this is Karlach scene from act 3

00:51 I modded Karlach into Wyll, this is her scene from act 1

00:53 I modded Shadowheart into Astarion and I was playing as Wyll, this is Shadowheart romance scene in act 1

00:59 This is Astarion romance scene in act 2, I was playing as Wyll

01:07 The hug is from Astarion romance, epilogue, where I was playing as Wyll

Welcome!

Hey! Hi! Hello! I'm Roarelle, from @the-starset-system ! (You can just call me Roar or Bug tho)

You can find more information about me and this blog below ↓

🌠 What's this blog for / about?

This blog was made for me to goof off and indulge in things I like without disturbing those who follow our main for more educational leaned stuff. I'll mainly be ranting and reblogging stuff, mostly aesthetics and fanart. I may post art every now and then as well, so we'll see!

📖 About me

Well, for starters, I'm the host of a traumagenic DID system. If you don't know what that means, then I recommend looking at our main to understand better.

But, with that out of the way, My name is Roarelle as I already stated, though I also go by bug. I don't have any preferred name, so it's just what you can remember ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I identify and pansexual and genderfluid. Any pronouns are alright, just nothing dehumanizing.

I'm a minor, sixteen, so please do not engage any nsfw interactions with me, please.

💫 Interests

I like drawing and writing, not much said there ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌

I've been into Undertale pretty much since it came out, though the multiverse side of the fandom is what interests me.

I enjoy playing video games, Minecraft is my go to, but I also adore Skyrim, greedfall, and the assassin's Creed franchise.

I also like the dream smp! (Reminder that I don't support some of the content creators actions or words, nor do I really keep up with that stuff, I just like the storyline they've made :P)

I have a hard time getting into shows, but anime is cool ig, I think astroid in love is really cool.

⚠️ DNI'S

I don't want Endogenic / non-traumagenic systems here, nor supporters. NSFW accounts should be pretty easy to understand why they shouldn't be here.

Any other basic criteria's apply, please be respectful of my choices.

[tomochii-chan]

SOrry for bothering you earlier, you can ignore my ask about fanfics -I've now discovered Ao3 lmao (sorryr about the bother)

Ahaha well since you found the ones on AO3, I’ll share the ones I reblogged on my tumblr (I would go through my likes but.. they’re probably far down somewhere now OTL). Some of them are probably already found on AO3 though ahah. But just to make sure and to promote some peeps who have fed my thirsty Gavin soul LOL.
