#be weird

[starcrossedandstupid]

Trump just declared that there are only 2 genders, so this is your reminder to get WEIRDER and QUEERER gang

[starlet-sky]

Don’t ever let anyone stop you from being the weirdo that you are

I got nothing but

being weird and full of love can save you

and it might save those around you, too

"The weirder you get, the happier you'll be"

[cyanide-sippy-cup]

Man I just love dressing crazy. Star-shaped eyeliner, jacket covered in bottle caps with smiley faces, bright pink glasses, piercings in my face. I thrive in the weird looks from strangers. I love being that person little kids think is a fairy and remember for years. I love giggling at myself while I make faces in the mirror.

To me, this is what it is to be punk. To make weird, messy art. To sing your crooked voice as loud as you can. To be the most beautiful ugly. To be that creature 8 year old you wrote stories about in their school notebooks. To be the greatest you you can be.

There is nobody on this Earth who can do you like you. So why not go out and be the best you the world's ever seen?

Find someone who adores your weird as much as they adore your orgasms.

I need to remember this. It doesn't matter what hateful Anons say. I write stories that speak to me. Red Light. Green Light probably won't mean anything to anyone but it means something to me. It will eventually be finished. When? I don't know.

Write what speaks to you. Fuck the haters.

@peepawispunk, thank you for reblogging this so I could reblog it from you.

Just some words I've been needing to hear for a few weeks now and once I finally wrote them down, I thought maybe there were other people who might need to hear them too ❤️

You don't need to be anyone's favorite writer for your writing to be good.

The worth of your writing is not measured by whether or not you're included in fic recs or the amount of comments/asks you get.

Your works don't need to be recognized as some of The fics of the fandom to be good or worth reading.

'Popular' writers in your fandom are also just writers (and humans!!) : you don't need to impress or be noticed by them to have a place in your fandom. Fandom should be fun so don't let your brain ruin it with a misplaced sense of competition <3

You don't need to post a fic every week to be considered a writer. You don't need to write every week to be a writer. There is no limited places in fandom: come and go as you want and as life allows you to. Post when you feel like it, there is no trend to surf on to stay 'relevant' as a fic writer or a content creator. Fandom will always wait for you.

Your writing is good, and the more you write, the more you find your style, the better it gets.

Your writing made someone's day. Your writing is helping the fandom stay alive. Your writing should make you happy, and that happiness should not be proportional to how recognized you are in your fandom.

I know it can be discouraging to see tons of fic recs in your fandom and none of them including your fics. But yesterday, when I was feeling down, I re-read my own published works because they were the stories I wanted to read. And I enjoyed reading them, so much. And that is enough to keep me writing, because it showed me there is no better person to write the stories I have in my head than myself (a huge progress considering months ago, I couldn't reread something I'd written because I was cringeing too hard to get through two sentences).

Find your people that will always hype you and your fics up: you and your writing don't have to appeal to every single person in your fandom. Write niche fics! Rarepairs seemingly no one brought up before! Include headcanons and takes and interpretations you've never seen written before!

Write the stories you are dying to read, and I promise you, you'll find other people who were hoping to find that story somewhere, too.

Your writing is unique because it can only ever be yours and same goes for your stories; your writing is worth reading and your stories are worth being written <3

Reminder that your queer identity does not have to "make sense" for it to be valid.

You can identify as "conflicting" identites such as a trans man lesbian.

You can label yourself with the tiniest microlabel that nobody's heard of. (Or come up with your own)

You can identify as a one of the "weird" queer identites.

You can grab any and all labels that you feel fit you.

Or you can use no labels at all.

Being queer means being yourself; you are as valid and as queer as the more "socially acceptable" queers.

we're all going to die eventually why not just be weird about david tennant

[ponkydraws]

Please please please embrace the fun. Draw fanart. Overanalyze shows. Practice animation. Learn musicals. Read books. Be loud. Make social media content. Write fanfiction. Put stickers on your stuff. Add keychains to your bag. Dye your hair. Put beads on your laces. Put on a lot of jewelry. Wear mismatched outfits. Download childhood mobile games. Don’t wear the same pair of socks. Doodle on tests. Make comics. Sing off key. Join a theatre production. Make edits. Watch “kids” shows. Put pins everywhere. Sew patches on your clothes. Make your own earrings. Cosplay. Join subcultures. Wear merch. DIY.

Please don’t let individualism die at the hands of cringe culture. Cringe is fun. Never let fun die.

People say they want weird, but then use "weirdo" and "weird" as insults/to describe bad things and "normal" as a compliment/to describe good things.

People say they want weird, but then have the most strict Puritan mindset about art and fictional things.

People say they want weird, but then call actually weird things "cringe" or immoral.

People say they want weird, but they really don't. They want the most tame, mainstream, and socially acceptable "weird" so they can call themselves "weird" and look Different™.

Wednesday Wisdom...

If you can't be weird and fun together...

You can't be orgasmic and loud.

Rules matter...(hehe;)

"Why would you write that? No one will read that." I don't care. Next question.

"Your art is way too macabre and weird. Who would like that?" Me. That's who.

"What about your intended audience---" GO TO HELL

INTENDED AUDIENCES KILL ARTISTIC GENIUS TILL ALL PROWESS LEFT HAS NO SOUL

CREATE ART FOR YOURSELF AND ONLY YOURSELF

ARTISTS OWE THE AUDIENCE JACK-SHIT AND IF ANYONE TELLS YOU OTHERWISE THEY KNOW NOTHING OF TRUE PASSION

ART IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL; DO NOT DIMINISH THE POETRY OF THE SELF

[trevenbran]

Bury your gays.

Then dig them back up so they can haunt the night and get even weirder with it.
