You're the only person i follow who posts about thomas sanders

And i only watch him for sanders sides, i'm not really in the fsndom online, so i guess you are the best person to ask this

Why does thomas take so long to upload new sander sides?

The love and care that you pour into your characters is so palpable that I can feel it cumulatively breaking chunks of slag off of my hardened heart. It makes me want to feel again, and make art again. It makes me remember what it's like to have passion about anything. So even though we're strangers to each other, thank you. For everything that you do. Your art reminds me what it means to be alive.

wrestling fic writers!!

i have decided to be the change i wanna see, so lets do a nice little thing for each other, as a community full of incredible and talented writers. yes this is writer specific only, but thats cause thats where the main problem of people not interacting with creative works lies in this fandom as far as i can tell and have seen people talking about it especially in the last couple of months

if you read this, please add links to your written works. it can be just a single fic youre really proud of, your writing blog, your writing tag, your ao3 account, anything where your works can be found

and if you leave your link here, PLEASE check out someone else that has left their works, and interact with them. leave them a comment, even just a kudos, REBLOG their fic, etc. interacting is the keyword i want to emphasize here, along with building a sort of a masterpost of where to find people writing in this fandom

and if you are not a writer, youre still highly encouraged to interact with this post and share it and show love to the writers in this fandom, obviously!! i think that should go without saying, but adding it in anyways

a bit more about my vision and resources and such under the read more, but thats the gist of it. happy linking and please be kind and supportive to each other!! 💜

nobody is too big or too small to add their things on this list. if you write and post anything in this fandom whatsoever, be it fics or drabbles or headcanons, any companies or any kind of ships or reader inserts or any content whatsoever no matter how 'dead dove dont eat' or hell even if its just meta, we welcome all here and nobody can say that one thing is less valid than another. just please tag your content accordingly, especially if theres content warnings, and feel free to mention what you write, who you write, any info you wish to leave that would help people before they click on your links. but even so, that should not and hopefully will not deter people from interacting, no matter what it is. someones trash is another ones treasure, i promise you

and unless the amount gets really overwhelming, im personally going to be checking out everyone that leaves something here. unless it squeaks me out, but even then, i'll spread the word. and i just wish as many people as possible will do the same, and not just use this as a potential board to only get eyes on their stuff. ofc thats also the point, but you should give as much, if not more, than you get. we need to be kind and supportive of one another (besides, from personal experience, if you show love to someone else, they are more likely to do it back than without you taking the first step, so... pay it forward)

as for resources, heres a few links that should be helpful in leaving comments and feedback. of course everyone does their own thing and no comment is too big or too small to leave, but for those who need them. if you have anything you'd like added to this list, dont hesitate to get in touch or drop it in the post yourself!!

a quick hot guide to commenting (by yours truly)

an overall guide to appreciating fanfic writers

and just in general.. leave people comments. leave them asks about their projects. just go over and gush about their work. i know it sounds embarrassing but writers love nothing more than to hear that someone likes what they are doing. if you find a fic that hasnt been updated in forever, comment on it. it might just be the spark the author needs to continue. while kudos and likes are nice, and just as valuable to some, its definitely in the words the people leave for them that matter the most. im not saying this to put pressure on anyone, its just how it is, and i feel like unless people are writers themselves, and even then sometimes, thats just hard to grasp, especially if the writer is a smaller and less popular one who doesnt get a lot of traffic in the first place

i think thats all. just be nice and considered to everyone, reblog peoples works, this post with others add ons and so forth. and if i find anyone talking shit here or at other writers for something they share, you'll be blocked and im probably taking your kneecaps. be fucking nice. we are all struggling here and we need to stick together

happy sharing and commenting 💜💜

things that are hard to find: writing advice that isn't condescending.

[crush3dmary]

Seeing as someone is trying to sabotage me by leaving hate comments on other fics using what's clearly a reference to my old moniker, I think it's best I take a break from writing yugioh for a while aside from zine/gift fics.

This fic's author in particular admitted to taking inspiration from my fic and I left a nice comment saying I was okay with that and that I was glad I could inspire them. Then I go to read the next chapter and find this is the comments, clearly trying to frame me by using something "suspiciously" close to my old username/current tumblr header. Why would I want to leave hate on a fic I read 27 chapters of and liked? Why would I leave hate for someone under an alias that's already publicly connected to me? Why would I leave a hate comment at all?

I try to go above and beyond to support other writers, and when I leave someone a compliment I always mean every word. This is how I am repaid, with someone trying to sabotage my image in yet another fandom.

The next chapter of Philosophy is half done. I don't know when it'll be up and I don't know if I'll touch it again for a while. This fic is my baby, I've put so much love and heart into making it what it is, and I hate that stupid bullshit like this is ruining it for me. I don't even want to touch it right now. I don't even want to look at it right now. I just feel sick to my stomach.

Good job anon. You ruined it for everyone.

there's something so comforting about artists you admire talking about their own struggles and insecurities

Don't watch then? If you're going to be disappointed no matter what then don't watch

I think some people don't realize that Helluva and Hazbin are capable of good writing, that they are capable of amazing animation, good songs, and ideas. They HAVE that stuff, they've done it before, and continue to do it, not as often as before, but there are diamonds in the rough. It's the execution and vast changes in direction that fall flat, that are not good because the direction is lost, interactions become contradictory, the story doesn't seem as complex... and from a fandom standpoint, a lot of people within a fandom write fics, comics, or draw art based off things they wanted to see more of in the show. AUs to twist a direction, explore different arcs, expand a character, showcase a potential relationship- all of which the show did not. Whether a show is super good or terribly horrible, out of hype or spite, it is still an inspiration.

I haven't formally studied any language in like 2 months, and I haven't formally studied Japanese in at least 4 years, but I'm finally feeling that itch again like I did back in high school. I bought all my JLPT books back in 2017 but I never actually got around to studying them or taking the JLPT. I don't know how serious I am about this, I know for sure in 2025 I want to try to take the JLPT because I have a poor daruma with an unfilled eye who's been sitting around for years about it, but I wasn't expecting to start early. I'm dubiously above N2 because I stopped studying grammar in 2017 and just reading books and manga, so I picked up a ton of grammar from native materials. But I think it's about time to go and reinforce that and make sure I actually understand correctly. Either way it feels nice to get 23/25 correct on the first little practice test yippee

happiness is having someone comment that your writing is beautiful when you’ve been insecure to get back to writing again
