#art blog time?

[officiallyossy-haywooddent]

OOC.

updates?

Sorry for not being the most active today—

Kinda panicking because my brain isn’t functioning properly rn and I have like 5 assignments I needed to get done like 2 months ago—

And like general anxiety + fear of failure and stuff acting up (not the vibes but meds scare me and the last batch made thing sooo much worse—)

So, uh, yeah :] probs won’t be the most active on here 2morrow either because of the schoolwork thing but I promise I’ll continue the murder plot thingy and if I haven’t gotten back 2 you dw I def will soon—

Also I’m starting up an art blog so (here) it is? Idk, no pressure to check that out, I’ll probably be posting relatively infrequently because art block’s a bitch I know far too well

So, yeah, life update + excuse ig? Just wanted to let ya’ll know because it’s therapeutic for me to tell people stuff.

Au revoir et bonne nuit :]

I couldn't get the idea of Alastor holding Husk like that one ferret gif during his lament in the finale out of my head.

If the BG3 companions went on a road trip, who’s the designated refueler and why is it Astarion

I saw this cosplay on Reddit and immediately had to draw it because I love it so much

Here’s a timelapse of it!

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.
