#fandom has changed for the worse

[sak-spn]

Not rebloging because I don’t feel like this person deserves the interaction or attention (and no user cause anti-harassment). But wow this is fucked up!

One: you can’t just forbid people from interacting with you/your public posts just because they like something you don’t. If they kept trying to talk to you about it then that’s another thing, but a DNI just because they like it is stupid.

Two: some people are not comfortable posting things publicly on the internet (even in the widely anonymous ecosystem of tumblr). I guess people are not allowed to simply enjoy things. Blocking blank blogs is understandable (I tend to leave them be unless they do anything skeevy), but wow, fucking be greatfull for the likes!

Triumphant Return?

First time creating and posting ace attorney fanart! I might make more I might not, we’ll see what happens. I couldn’t not draw this tho

i always hate when people say thag the uchihas are more sensitive because theyre predisposed to mental illness as if theyre dramatic or respond disjointedly from their circumstances. im inclined to say theyre some of the only characters who behave believably in accordance with their trauma. like sasuke was literally psychologically tortured when he was 13. do we think thats gonna turn someone into a football loving go getter? they use characters whose trauma barely gets shown as a standard when its not that the uchiha are dramatic but that naruto just doesnt get much focus on the trauma that he should undeniably have.

if i suddenly become a thousand times more annoying on here it's because i'm trying *really* hard to spend less time on twitter because iwtvtwt is nothing but the same stolen gifs being reposted over and over again without credit in between the same mind-numbingly dull discourse recycling itself with the phases of the moon and it's becoming incredibly grating to witness lol

feeling bad about my art lately. will probably not post for a while. but i wanted to at least dump some stuff here before i retreat into my hidey hole

[jackobbit]

Woof, god, sorry it’s been like, nearly a month since I’ve uploaded any DCA art

Engaging with fandom stuff has just kinda been tough this past month especially

I can’t believe it took me so long for it all to really set in how much fandom culture and such has changed and just how negative it’s become, and it’s been starting to take a huge toll on me. I’ve been really discouraged from drawing stuff lately because of it

That’s neither here nor there, though, I’m going to see if I can’t bounce back by just stepping away from internet spaces and focusing on drawing and such instead

I’m still going to see if I can’t continue my comic, I’ve worked too hard to let it fall into nothingness now, I’ve written too much story, thought about it too much, etc

I’ll still be uploading art and such but scrolling and looking at other stuff is a no go for the time being

I’ve started to think a bit about why I don’t like Crimson as a character and an antagonist- and I think I’ve cracked part of it

Crimson basically has nothing going on, and in the story he basically functions to give bodies for the protags to throw around. He’s just an other shitty dad to give Moxxie trauma. What even are his goals? What does he want? What does he believe in?

Striker is way more interesting as a character and an antagonist because we know his beliefs and goals- he was paid to kill Stolas, and he hates hell royalty because he doesn’t believe they deserve everything that’s been handed to them and such. It’s very simple stuff but it works as a foundation, even if Viv hasn’t been good at writing his character out.

Crimson however, he’s basically nothing. You could say that he is motivated by his business/mafia, but we don’t really see that. He just drops in one episode without any prior set up or acknowledgment to try and marry Moxxie off for money. His motivation could be to try and maintain power by doing whatever it is possible, but again we don’t really *get* that.

In this new episode it just *really* feels like his only purpose is to fill a slot so they don’t have to make a new antagonist, shout a bunch, and have a bunch of henchmen to be killed.

honestly it could be interesting to build off of imps being lower class and not many running their own companies. That idea has kinda been dropped but it could have been worked into making Crimson and Blitz foils to each other or something. Just let Crimson be desperate to rise to some level of power and wealth that he’s willing to do anything to obtain it. Whether that be selling out his son or holding another imp hostage to blackmail a sin- idk there’s potential here!

Potential, yes. And unfortunately squandered one at that.

2024 cosplayers who participate in cringe culture would shit and piss themselves if they were exposed to a convention pre 2018

[siinlight]

My only gripe rn is tumblr staff will literally never listen to its user base like... you have the majority of the sites users against big updates that just don't fix anything and actually make the user experience Worse.... there is no effort in the sites staff to actually listen to complaints. Feel like tumblr could just lose its user base and they'd act like they don't know why

[non-un-topo]

At the crossroads between wondering if it's worth it to basically completely rewrite all my WIPs or just take a break from writing for the rest of the summer

[narrativedoomed]

I'll be honest w y'all i do not intend on catching up w yj any time soon

I’m really curious what I did to get blocked by so many dragon age/anders fans so quickly. usually I’m in a fandom for a lot longer before I start finding random people who blocked me
