Oh. By the way folks. With the current climate going on, I think it’s time I reiterate something very important to me and many other people on this platform.

This page is run by a trans and nonbinary person. I will always support trans people and LGBTQIA+ people. If you don’t like that, then enjoy someone else’s art. You can’t hate these groups of people while getting to enjoy content made by them. Right now it’s important for trans people to stay visible and keep being ourselves.

A message to all other trans and queer people: hang in there. Stay strong. Keep being you.

I was just possessed by a ghost writer (ha) and it forced me to throw up 414 words. Which is great! But those 414 words only encompass a 5 second scene. How the heck am I supposed to finish an entire story arc if THIS is my default prose pace????

Hello hello, I am dying of the heat but am going to be working on charm designs today including some fandom ones!

I already have a few Fate characters with the idea of being charms in mind finished, but I'm curious what characters people are really wanting if there was the idea of them getting a charm.

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

NO!

I highly recommend that if you have a bestie within the same fandom with similar hyperfixations within it, to grab them and drag them to read a long fic together while yall fangirl over it and take notes of your favourite parts/write down the funny quotes you guys say while reading it

It's soul healing, I promise

Heyo, so I’ve been getting a LOT of comments on my comic ever since I started releasing it suggesting Eli and Warren have got romantic chemistry and I have clarified many times that Eli is aroace and specifically on a part of the spectrum where he is not interested in s3x or romance in any way, and Warren is also on the aroace spectrum, similarly aligned.

It’s okay to have your own imagination on literature as long as you don’t erase queer identities, and ace and aro identities are erased a LOT and have very little representation in media.

I know as an author I can’t control how people interpret my works, but all that I ask is that readers remain respectful of asexual and aromantic identities and do not try to insistently publicly erase them in order to fulfill their own fantasies. I understand these people don’t have any malicious intents when they want to ship Eli and Warren together, but just please try to be more conscious of your thoughts before pushing it onto aroace authors online. Aroace people on my side of the spectrum hear it ALL the time where our identities are belittled and erased, or shoved onto another side of the spectrum where we don’t align, or completely outside of our orientation altogether, and it can feel kind of icky for that to happen to our characters as well. Sometimes us aroace authors just wanna write a story where two characters can be around each other without being in a relationship.

Anywho,

Aromantic people who like to be in relationships are valid.

Aromantic people who don’t want to be in a relationship are valid.

Asexual people who like intimate relationships are valid.

Asexual people who don’t want intimate relationships are valid.

All parts of the aroace spectrum are valid.

It’s all a spectrum, and one side existing doesn’t negate the other.

That’s all I’m sayin’ 🤷

Me when I make my self-insert character cruel, horrible, unlikable, depraved, and withering from the inside out: heheheehoohooo

DC Fanfic Writer: Oof, I haven’t read every single comic about this character… what if everyone thinks I’m a fraud and a fake fan and my fic just sounds ooc and everyone starts Um Actually-ing me in the comments—

DC Comic Writers: Yeah, that seems like something this character would do based upon the brief scroll I took of their wikipedia and the single Elseworlds comic I read in 2006. Let’s make it canon.

You ever have a place-holder name for a character you're using in your head that you do NOT want to be their actual name for various reasons. But you keep referring to them as the placeholder name and having to catch yourself from using the placeholder as you scramble to figure out a real name for them?

did this as a quick scribble at like 1 AM last night and...immediately lost all motivation to ever clean it up. ( ᐛ ) but I had to draw my son being the fanciest little flower boy who ever threw petals down an aisle. oh my god.
