There's a user going around currently reblogging/commenting on antiLO content with the intent of "digging up dirt" on people who simply read and enjoy the comic. Basically demanding the OP's of such posts to inform them of any 'stans' so they can add them to a 'list' that they absolutely do not have any good intentions to do with, along with making some very unsavory and completely unwarranted comments about the fans in general (and I don't mean the usual "lmao LO fans are weird/dumb/etc." stuff, I mean genuinely cruel wishes to have the fans of the comic doxxed/harmed/etc.) I have blocked this user for obvious reasons, and if you get a similar reblog or DM like I did from this person, I hope you'll do the same.

Please do not play into this. As much as I and many others talk shit about this dumpster fire of a comic and its questionable if not outright controversial writing and messaging, none of us have any right to go after any of the fans or stans directly. At best that would just be proving to the fans who already hate this part of the fandom that we're boogeymen out to get people, at worst it would be a betrayal to our own integrity as human beings who should be capable of discussing media without turning it into a harassment campaign. Making shitposts about the media and the fandom is fine, discussing the media itself and the creator who made it within our own little spaces of the Internet is ultimately harmless so long as it's managed within reason, but deliberately going out of your way to dig up personal information on innocent people within the fandom for the purpose of ruining their life is not okay and if you ever get to that point where you're trying to rationalize going after people directly, you need to log off.

hot take but you all NEED to stop telling people to kill themselves.

yes, even *those* people. i don't care if you're talking to some monster who puts live puppies into a wood chipper for fun, don't say that shit.

because mx. puppychipper isn't gonna be affected by your words.

but you know who might be affected? some innocent third party reading the words you said on a public website.

because telling people to kill themselves says "suicide is a punishment for being a bad person. bad people, upon realizing they're bad, should simply commit suicide instead of working to atone for their actions."

and that is NOT a message you wanna be normalizing to anyone, but ESPECIALLY people with depression (who, let's be real, make up a higher than average chunk of this site's userbase). whose mental illness is already telling them that 1: they're an inherently terrible worthless person no matter what they do 2: death is an appealing option.

is reading "kill yourself" once or twice gonna make them do it? nah, probably not. but reading it multiple times a day every day is gonna make their mental health worse. it's probably not good for your mental health to be saying that kind of thing, either.

just knock that shit off. the world is already so hostile to people with mental illness, and managing mental illness and unlearning unhealthy thought patterns is already so difficult. you don't need to be out here making it worse.

did someone actually hate on your fave? or did they neutrally attribute a trait to them that you've unnecessarily negatively moralized and you hurt own feelings about it? or, perhaps, did you project too hard and now interpret even mild critique or simple acknowledgement of interesting character flaws as an ad hominem attack on yourself?

please don’t be sad little sprout, you are loved 🌱 🖤

other queer people who call a queer actor of a character they happen to hate (because he and/or his fans are bad in their eyes) a sexual harasser and homophobic because of their own bad faith interpretations of that actor should be ashamed of themselves

I've been thinking a lot about Ulder and Wyll lately.

It's hard not to get overly personal when approaching that. The relationship one has with one's parents will always creep in, or the relationship one wishes one had, and the reaction Wyll gets from Ulder when you rescue him from the Iron Throne is vile. The idea of saying those things to your child's face turns my stomach. It's meant to.

It was exploring the tree when you get back to camp, and finally actually looking at some of the harsher things you can say to him, that brought a bit more light to it. If you say "bet you feel like a real bastard" or... whatever the exact phrasing is, I don't know how to find it right now, he says he does. The heavy judgement he levels at others weighs on him, too. He doesn't spare himself, and after that moment, the few scraps of information we get (honestly, fuck you, Larian) do show him trying his damdenest to fix the damage he's done.

He should have listened to Wyll. He loved his son and he knew what kind of a man he'd raised. But. We cannot fill his fuck-up with everything we don't like about our parents. Wyll forgives him. Wyll is perhaps too forgiving and too harsh on himself. It's part of what makes him such a fantastic character. But he does forgive him, and the more I think about that and the bits of lore we can dig up from the descriptions of his weapons and the journal of loving memories that Ulder locked away when— what? when it became too painful to look at? The more I have to wonder. I don't know how much of the outside lore Larian bothered with. I don't know how much of the outside lore survived WotC running around with shears.

I keep thinking about Wyll and Ulder, up at dawn, sitting on the wall overlooking the harbor and talking about the seven years they missed. It would be hard. Cutting Ulder off entirely might be easier, but it might not be better, and it definitely is not what Wyll wants. So they sit and they talk, and Ulder keeps pardoning fists who followed a tyrant who turned their fear against them and gave them an excuse to indulge in their easiest, lowest impulses. When Wyll has children of his own, it probably gets harder for a while.

I don't know what the ending of this is. I am absolutely not commenting on how anyone should handle their relationships with their parents. I'm very grateful to the people whose writing got me to slow down and look a little harder.

I think it would be nice for Wyll to get his father back, after everything.

Not to be a Fandom Old™ but I really wish people would start tagging 'reader insert' again (why did it stop??) instead of infinite variations of character/reader tags, or at least alongside it.

If you're reading this, please tag your reader insert fanfic as 'reader insert'

It's an umbrella tag meant to label all works involving a reader character so it's easier to identify them either to filter or to search for it across any fandom, it's been used for years, it's easier for everyone involved.

THE COUNTDOWN HAS IN FACT ENDED and I did very much enjoy the live self-gaslighting happening while people tried to figure out if the lines were actually disappearing every hour

I am bouncing up the walls with excitement to announce that my next YA is on the way—not one, not two, but ✨three✨ upcoming books!!! COLDWIRE is the expansive, futuristic world I’ve adored creating in secret, and I can’t wait to share more soon… Mark your calendars for Fall 2025 🫶🏻
