I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question.
and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost.
Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half."
All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

A recent discussion between me and @sicklyseraphnsuch made me realize Betty never saw Simon go fully mad. He had a major outburst due to the crown and she got scared but never fully left.
Betty never got to witness Simon completely lose himself like Marcy did. She only saw him start to slip and then met him as the Ice King. Even when she came to the future she interacted with Simon before he immediately turned back into IK. No slow decent into madness, no witnessing the man she once loved slip away. Just a complete transformation in her eyes.
If she had witnessed what Marcelin did, I feel like the way she went about things would be different. Maybe she’d let go. But in hers eyes, Simon never slipped away from her he was just taken. Of course she would think under that viewing that she could get him back a lot easier than she came to realize.

Cough cough, I commented “hear me out, I have a fanfic idea…” on a TikTok Soukoku post with your Soukoku comic and now people expect a fanfic I can’t write because I don’t have the permission from you since you had the original idea-
Aw, I appreciate you coming to ask! :D Absolutely, go for it! If you want to link back to the comic as where the initial inspiration came from, you can, although I’m sure your fic will be plenty divergent from where I’m going with it, so don’t worry about that part too much alsksjdjf
Good luck on the fic!! I’m very happy the comic gave you an idea, sharing and bouncing things off each other to make new stuff is one of the most fun parts of fandom :D
(Also if you feel like linking me when you’re done, I’d be interested in reading it!)

you know elle’s lil foot pop during her kiss with tao? i’m having thoughts about how it relates to her character development.
season 2 elle is in a very different place than season 1 elle. season 1 elle was at a transitional point in her life - she’d come out fairly recently and only just moved from truham to higgs, where everyone was a stranger and she was the only trans girl. but in season 2 she seems to be a lot more secure in her identity and a lot more confident in general. she’s reconnected with her friends, gotten more comfortable flirting with tao, been accepted to lambert, and even made trans friends who she can be herself around!
and the foot pop is a stereotypically feminine thing, a symbol of feminine happiness in a romantic context. elle gets to have similar experiences as the other girls around her - such as wearing a dress to prom, getting flowers from her crush, and this! not that traditionally gendered things are the be-all and end-all of trans joy, of course, but it’s genuinely very meaningful to see elle enjoy them 🩷
