#im not a content creator i write as my hobby and to talk about my blorbos

[afewproblems]

I'm seeing a lot of posts lately from people saying what they want to see more of in their favourite fics, whether it's characterization or ships or tropes and I get it to an extent but there is something about these posts that rubs me the wrong way.

And I think i finally put my finger on what it is. These posts feel kind of like consumer reviews, like "sure, that was tasty, but next time I want this" and that is so strange to me.

If you want something really specific or even more to your taste, there is a great way to do that.

Write your own fic.

I promise, it'll have everything you want and more.

Warning, fandom rant.

I was gonna piggyback ride off Tagedezorns post about falling out of love with the fandom.

Dont get me wrong, I still fucking LOVE 40k.

Im having a great time painting my minis, reading the lore, reading and talking with the BL authors on twitter or talking the ears off the staff in my local GW (don't worry, they love it, and they have some fantastic HC’s too!)

But the rest of it is sadly losing its appeal for me as well, and it saddens me to see other fan artists or writers feeling the same, I thought it was just me.

When I first started to become active in the shipping fandom about a couple of years ago it was fantastic. I felt so welcome and wanted, I had never gotten a reception like that in any fandom before. I even faced my fear and started writing fanfiction, and people seemed to love it.

But the last months/year it feels like it's all gone. As if Tumblr has died, it feels like I'm shouting into the void. (I have a few people who still interact on my posts and I see you and I love you). But I have eightdoubled my followers last year, but that hasn't resulted in any more interaction, other than a few more likes. But to be fair, likes does nothing.

Im not an influencer or a content creator, and I have zero aspirations to become one. That is why I stopped doing tiktoks. I do not want to chase trends or algorithms, I want to be unhinged about my blorbos and see people being unhinged about their blorbos in turn.

I love the intense passion fandom can have, even when it's not a character I'm personally into.

I really don't want Tumblr to die. I have tried Discord and it was the most alienating and disheartening experience I've had since like high school.

When I first tried it out it was soo much fun, but as time went on, more and more people who seemed to like me stopped posting on there, and more and more whenever I posted I just got straight up ignored.

I could post in a channel that had been dead for weeks, and suddenly people started posting about other things, everyone ignoring what I wrote. If it happened once or twice I wouldn't have bothered, but a dozen or more times? It just fucking sucks. I noticed how it started affecting my mental health, trying to reach out and talk to people, but just being talked around and over. So I just stopped posting.

If someone doesn't like me on Tumblr I won't notice or get sad, but seeing it happen in real-time just fucking sucks.

And also, on Tumblr there is always the off chance that your post gets necromanced. That just doesn't happen on Discord.

And another thing that has happened a lot is I write a fic or a Tumblr post. It gets zero interaction, and I'm like “oh I guess no one is interested about that,” and then I see that someone has just reposted my fic/post in a discord and people are geeking out over it over there.

I'm not a paid artist/writer. I do what I do because I want to geek out over something, preferably with someone else. But I effectively become removed from my art. People are discussing it, just not with me.

Dealing with being unliked as a person fucking sucks. Especially when it's supposed to be your hobby-fun-time. And it is making me not want to post stuff anymore.

special tags?: "wenz can talk" for my posts that i just yap in, "w writes" for my writing, "w sketches" for my art

anything else to share: i love getting asks! like from ask meme games or just getting to know you questions, nothing too personal tho! i also welcome any kind of interaction that gets me to talk about my fandoms/brain rots/ships. pls don't be shy lmao: you can interact through tags in a reblog or through an anon ask if you don't know how ima react. worse case scenario i just won't reply? but i'm not gonna judge or bash on you or anything unless you come for me first 😭

[ocgram-central]

sorry if this question isn't answerable but im having a really hard time writing timeline conversations and just have no clue what I should even have the characters be doing and talking about and when I do it doesn't really actually add anything (if that makes sense) im wondering if there were any tips you or other people had?

Ocgram creators feel free to add your tips. I made an essay again sorr I talk a lot

I remembered I made an advice on TL convos before but I couldn't find it and was like did it happen in another timeline then it turns out I just gave it a wrong tag. Anyway here but I will elaborate on it. I will write about what comes to my mind generally and what I've been using to write timelines in my ocgram, it's the way I personally do things but I hope it can be a help.

If you feel lost in anything at all I recommend referencing the original project, so this is what I'll do. Generally speaking, I think in the original project, timeline conversations cover mostly three things: worldbuilding, characters' hobbies and habits, and characters' relationships.

Most of the timeline conversations in the very beginning, when they were yet published every day, served as an introduction to the worldbuilding (the prison rules, system, etc) and an introduction to the characters through their reactions to the prison. For example, we got to know that prisoners can request items, that they can smoke, that they get meals, that the writings in the prison are in an unknown language and the prison is located in an unknown place, etc. The characters also discussed what they think of the concept of the "mental images", interrogations with Es, written interrogations, and this whole situation with suddenly ending up in a prison, such as Mikoto saying he thinks it's a reality show. So, I think that for starters timeline conversations are a good way to introduce your audience to your ocgram's prison through the eyes of the characters. You can repeat it with future trials if any rules change with the trials or more lore is revealed.

We also get to know a lot about what characters naturally do when they have nothing to do basically. It can include hobbies, habits, coping mechanisms, etc. They naturally fall into what they've been doing every day before prison. Shidou and Kazui immediately smoke, Amane immediately searches for ways to continue studying, Kotoko requests protein to keep building her body and observes other prisoners to punish them later bc she needs to continue her "duty", Mahiru immediately starts conversations on traditionally girly topics and tries to befriend everyone, checking who is the most compatible with her/the most to her taste, etc., Fuuta is annoyed that he can't keep scrolling through the Internet/watching TV/playing games and that no one in the prison shares these hobbies. It's also revealed in Minigrams that Yuno/Mikoto/Mahiru often start group games to break the ice and pass the time. So it's also a good way to reveal what is the day-to-day behavior of your prisoners, and since this is a stressful environment what do they do to cope with stress.

As for the characters' relationships, generally I think that the written interrogation is for more personal, not crime-related information on the character, and the timeline conversations are for personal relationships between the characters. It's a way to reveal who is becoming closer to each other (for example we know that something is going on with Amane and Fuuta but we never have them looking directly into the camera and saying it), or just a way to hint at the parallels between the characters and elaborate on them both through it (for example the conversation where Yuno says that Mikoto is always pretending to smile). Among the forms of content that exist in the original project there are no other ways to reveal the relationships forming between the characters to the audience, everything else is either only about the particular character or only about their crime, so you could primarily use TL convos for establishing characters' relationships.

Mikoto kinda has a point with the reality show comment because really you can imagine a reality show where a bunch of strangers are forced to live together and are not allowed access to the outside world. How would they cope with the situation, pass the time, would they want to immediately find friends or isolate themselves until all of this ends, what conversation topics would they be interested in?

If you think that your TL convos "don't add anything" then I think focusing on these aspects (worldbuilding, hobbies and habits, relationships) could help you. Anything that seems like it lacks information can actually elaborate on your story. For example this conversation (source). Nothing really happens here but we get to know that Haruka is terribly scared of Kotoko, that Kotoko doesn't really get it (which is further supported by her interactions with Muu where she doesn't get it again), and that Es was calling Kotoko for something.

Also in the post I mentioned at the beginning, I said that Chekhov's guns are helpful in writing TL convos so I want to elaborate on it. Basically you can utilize foreshadowing a lot. Something I enjoy a lot about timeline conversations is that they look taken out of context. We don't know everything that is happening behind the scenes. So, any detail can be a foreshadowing, whether your audience notices it or not. Besides when I don't have more ideas for TL convos, or when I feel like they're too inconsistent/scattered, I look through the already written ones and pick up on what could be an idea for foreshadowing or an unfinished narrative, and make new TL convos to continue it. I put more emphasis on the TLs than the original project I think, but in my ocgram there are several batches of TLs that are connected by plot, like side-stories of sorts. I think it can also help you with the feeling that your TL convos aren't really informative. I'd say what matters most is whether there's a meaning for you as an author.

Also this is a way more general and vague advice but if you find writing timeline conversations genuinely too hard or boring then you can experiment with the forms of art that would be easier to you. It's hard to enjoy creation when you're struggling with it. I put a lot of emphasis on TL convos because I like writing dialogues/I find it easier to write and understand my characters through dialogues, but there are people who don't find it easy. If you prefer writing descriptions for example, or you want to write something more straightforward than out-of-context bits, the first idea that comes to my mind is making characters' have personal diaries and posting their diary entries where they tell us about the worldbuilding, their daily life in the prison, and their relationships with others the same it happens in TL convos. I hope that my advice can help you write your TL convos but most of all I hope you find a way to write your story the way it's enjoyable to you.

reflections on fandom

(i didn't realize where i was going with this post when i started writing it but im happy my thoughts spelled out this way <3)

i've been looking at instagram more than usual the past few weeks (it's something about the very curated intense dopamine kick reels give the brain i think that is attractive when the brain can't make any dopamine itself but anyway), and something that really gets me is that there's no creations, or i should say 'content' on instagram that exists without monetary motives behind it.

and in a way i understand that very elaborate outdoor videos for example are hard to do when someone has to work a full time job to support themselves, and that it is a valid career choice in this day and age to be a content creator (just like writing for a home-decor magazine has traditionally been a job). but - and this isn't a new revelation i'm aware lol, i'm just reflecting on this for myself - it really isn't good for the brain to be exposed/ "consume" content like that. or rather engaging with this content needs a sort of. constant, conscious vigilance not to get drawn into consumerism.

i feel that way about bookstagram (is that its name haha) too, and would probably feel that way about booktok too if i had tiktok. that while connecting over love for books is wonderful, i don't think i could find profiles that talk about books but don't center around new appearances only, and where accounts after a certain follower count cannot survive without promoting books you should or could buy.

i *am* judging from afar here because i don't significantly engage with bookstagram, but i remember, particularly during a time where i didn't have a lot of money, feeling resentment for a culture that seemed to tie your love of reading to *buying*. while for me it was libraries or nothing.

i guess i have a yearning for places where i can find inspiration in ways not connected to monetary motives - which does bring me to tumblr, and to fandom.

to think that in this day and age, there are whole communities of people that center around something that generates no money, and that centers entirely around love. that people pour passion, time (so much time!) and resources into fandom is truly something that makes me believe in humanity.

maybe this ties back to my swissness haha, because "clubs" are such a big thing here, and many make the case that it's something that gives society as a whole a sense of community and connectedness. i don't know if the word 'club' transports what i mean, it means organizations where members come together to pursue some type of freetime activity such as music, sports, bird watching, anything. it's a cultural practice that has been developing in the direction of less and less people participating in it (the reasons that have been guessed for this are varied), but you know it touches me in a way that fandom is exactly that!

and it touches me specifically for my case, because i had been active in clubs all my life (from scouts to handball to environmental, feminist, students and queer clubs) until chronic illnesses put a stop to that part of my life. and then i found, you can guess it - fandom! or well, it found me. but really i am full of appreciation that i have found something, a hobby and a community, that has been such an enrichment for my life. and that it's accessible for me/possible for me to participate in it in a way that real life clubs wouldn't be anymore (at the moment, and for the foreseeable future).

it's easy for me to fall into the trap of thinking of fandom as 'silly', as a side thing, as not a 'real' hobby or not a 'real' community because it has no physical manifestations - or it can have by having fanworks printed - but in moments of clarity i do understand and can appreciate that it's just as real and ''worthy'' as the "real life", local clubs i used to be a part of.

8 and 25 for the ask thing? 👀 I wanna know your Thots and Opinions

Thots and Opinonions for yuo my darlignie. i had a Day so i’m choosing violence on these responses too lets fuckin’ go

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

this is maybe more an activity derived from an opinion/mindset but i was thinking about it today: collecting fandom artwork off the internet and making twitter threads or tiktoks or youtube shorts or otherwise content out of it without credit or permission isn’t contributing to fandom in general or being a fandom content creator, it’s actually stealing :) there seems to be a shocking amount of people who think this kind of reposting is normal/acceptable and let me just say i have a blanket permissions statement on my ao3 but if i ever catch someone putting my stuff in a tiktok compilation without crediting me and letting me know as per the terms of my permissions i am coming to their house and dropping a fat turd in their microwave

now obviously if you have permission/the creator has given blanket permissions, and you link your sources, go absolutely hog fuckign’ wild!

25. common fandom complaint that you’re sick of hearing

ok this one ends up being more general fandom too, but any and all variants and extensions thereof belonging to the overarching complaint of “there just isn’t enough X art/fic!” shut the fuck up and write it/draw it yourself. “but i can’t write/draw” and you think your idol authors/artists just… could? it’s called practice babeygrill. pick up a pencil. youtube has some great free drawing tutorials. drop your fave authors a line and ask them what writing advice they can provide. “but im too busy” i write on my phone in the fckin’ shower while my conditioner sets. and in between teaching courses at university, and while my dinner’s cooking, and between sets at the gym, and on the train to work, and hobby time on the weekends. “but i’m too lazy” then Cope. thank u for coming to my ted talk*

*i do feel the need to disclaimer all of these are different from health, job, family, etc issues that do interfere with writing or drawing and to that i say: my love you are still an artist. a boat is still a boat even when docked at the shore

thank you for asking <3

feel the violence in ur bones

[nanjokei]

i think the spread of character ai usage (and ai art generation usage also) is definitely an issue with people wanting instant gratification which actual rp usually is just not sustainably built for unless you're doing chat rp, even then your friends aren't awake 24/7 waiting at beck and call to entertain you. it's not literally entitlement, but it 100% stems from entitlement to be entertained constantly and passively instead of actually going out and finding something to do.

god this sounds like such boomer shit but the creation of endless scrolling like on tiktok with specifically tailored algorithms has made people so PASSIVE. ai can never come close to human creators but if people, especially the younger generation, are getting too cozy with choosing it over seeking out other human beings (whether it be indirectly via consuming fanmade work or directly via actual collaborative stuff like online roleplay), then how different is it from the ai "winning"? i don't think any of the excuses are valid. it's a subpar product in every way. it's almost never im character, it breaks if you propose anything too left field, and it's ultimately empty wish fulfilment and i have no idea how anyone past the age of 16 AT BEST gets any gratification from it. is it just the spread of a lack of reading comprehension? OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!

i do think it's an issue of people not being comfortable with boredom, always needing instant gratification, not wanting to sit down and hone a craft, or give the people who hone a craft themselves the time of day because they can't crank out """content""" for you 24/7. in a way, i'm thinking right now, when i'm bored i just channel surf on tv even if i don't do it as much anymore. but most people don't have tv anymore (personally we pirate iptv so LOL). i don't blame it on that necessarily, but i think with the rise of streaming, you just sit there on a media library staring at a bunch of thumbnails and posters, having to make a decision on how to invest your time. in this case, i get why people are so passive. tiktok is easier, character ai is easier. because i never ended up watching anything whenever i opened netflix (when we had it years ago). one could argue that watching tv is passive, but there's still a choice. you check the tv guide or google it and you know a certain show is on tv a certain channel at a certain time so you keep that in mind. what do you do in the meanwhile? i remember when that was an actual routine for me. i'd be slacking and not doing my homework, so maybe i'd draw a bit, maybe i play on my ds for a while, maybe i go make myself a snack or bake some pastries if i have all day, maybe i continue a book or even surf the web a bit.

the instinct of "aight, im gonna do something else on my own while i wait" is kind of dying. yes i'm on my phone! the difference is my use case. these days i'm not on social media aside from here so i don't use it as much aside from talking to friends on messaging clients and playing games (rarely tho). i say this as someone who stares at the ceiling not doing anything for a good bit each day, but at least i feel like i still have retained some ability to sometimes go, ok time to learn about a new hobby! i don't have to even pick it up. just entertaining it is gratifying on its own. i'm not a writer, but sometimes i'll write a little bit for fun then go "yeah i get why i don't jive with this". lately, i've been interested in competitive pokemon (with not much interest before) because i've been replaying platinum. i research a bit, watch videos, i even got a little brave and tested some sample teams on showdown. it was a fun time killer! i might keep doing it. i might even do it later today. i started reading pokespe too to scratch the pokemon itch too. and it's not like i don't suffer from crazy hard executive dysfunction but hey, this is a product of my effort. lately i've been thinking i wanna pick a character in guilty gear and learn at least one combo! trying new things is fun!!!

i'm sure this post sounds self important, self impressed, self absorbed (c-c-c-combo breaker) and boomer ish as fuck but honestly i don't care anymore. if someone who struggles with simple tasks on the daily like me can find shit to do that isn't just instantly caving to endless scrolling and resorting to chatting up an AI then i'm sure most people can too. it is so much more gratifying actively seeking out fun than to be passive about it.

[illfoandillfie]

Im so sorry about the last ask i did, didnt mean to sound mean or that i demand you to write. Im hoping everything will go fine for you soon🙏🙏

Firstly, apologies if my response before was kinda harsh, I'd had to deal with some very annoying students that afternoon and was kinda at the end of my tether.

Thank you for apologising and clarifying the tone of the ask. I'm about to go on a little rant, please know that whilst your ask has precipitated this response, you are by no means the only person i'm talking to.

I love when you guys talk to me, and honestly i do kinda miss when this fandom was super active and everyone was always sending asks and stuff, it was heaps of fun. And I definitely love getting messages about how much you enjoy something i've written, it makes me very happy to know you like what I do or that you're looking forward to reading what i'm working on!

But I also think that sometimes it is easy to forget that we are not friends. I don't know you, I don't know what your sense of humour is like or the intention behind an ask. Even if we talked every day, the second you turn on anon, you are a random person that i have never interacted with. You wouldn't walk up to a stranger on the street and jokingly tell them to fuck off because they had a cat on their shirt and not a dog. That would be rude. If your fave author or artist was hanging out at a cafe you wouldnt approach them and badger them about how long their next project is taking. Again, that would be rude.

So why do you feel comfortable doing it to a stranger on the internet? Why is it suddenly okay to send messages that are demanding or mean or even at worst abusive to someone else online? Why does it become cute and quirky and just being silly when the message is going to another blog or instagram comments or whatever the case may be.

This is a conversation that I've seen a number of blogs with larger follower counts/blogs that post original fandom content having recently. It's also something that more and more celebrities and professional creators are acknowledging. And I think it's worth talking about here too. The people who create things are still people with full on lives that don't revolve around silly internet hobbies.

If I get a message calling me a bitch for writing an angsty fic then I have to decide if the ask was sent in good faith (ie joking on the internet) or not (just being an asshole). And if you're anon or someone I do not recognise from notes on my posts, I'm much more likely to assume the second. However, if you spend a bit longer crafting a message that tells me you enjoyed the fic even tho it made you sad, then i know you're not a dick! All it takes is thinking about what you're sending someone for more than 2 seconds! Write it, read it as if you have no context, and ask yourself if you sound like a dick. And if you do, rethink it.

Anyway, rant over. Thankfully I don't have this problem very often (party because i am not very consistent in my posting lmao) but this is worth keeping mind with every online interaction you have.

Fic Writer Asks

9, 12, 26, and 32

hello! 🥰

9. Do you comment on stories you read?

ngl i haven’t read fics in a long time so im not sure but from what i remember i didn’t always leave a comment. which is bad on my part esp when i know what it’s like to get comments vs not getting so yeah

but i do reblog and leave tags whenever it’s a link or fic on tumblr, so there’s that!

12. how does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?

probably similar to a lot of other content creators- it’s very disheartening when you don’t receive any kind of feedback. though sometimes the urge to write is greater than the knowledge that i won’t be getting much back for it, it still stings yknow? but what can you do- at the end of the day it’s a hobby and you can’t force people to reblog or leave tags and comments

but i will say it definitely makes me want to write more as opposed to just losing motivation whenever i get feedback and know there are people out there who want to read and interact and talk about the story and characters etc so. there’s that!

it will always be such a delight receiving comments tho<3

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

i….have no idea - what does “wildest ride” even mean 😭 i’m gonna assume the fic that maybe has somewhat of a plot twist?? maybe i’m not the same as i used to be (i think i’m haunted by the things i’ve seen) ?? i think????

but also est-ce le diable qui s’est incarné en elle? purely cause it took so long for me to finally finish it omg

32. Name three of your favorite fanfic writers.

ooh uhhh UHHH again i haven’t read fic in a hot minute but off the top of my head i’d say @pearlcaddy, @pink-flame & @sunjaesol

edit: oh!! and how can i forget!! @tangledstarlight too ♥️

thank you!

this post has been in my likes for a while and i kept meaning to reblog it but i was having a hard time finding the words to express what i wanted to say

anyway this letter has actually been making me tear up for weeks now bc like. ok. this is gonna take a sec to explain:

so ive been active in the ofmd fandom since like april 2022 and while the majority of the content on here is reblogs, i also have been pretty regularly posting original stuff since like june or july 2022, primarily metas and shitposts.

but i’m definitely not posting as much as i used to (i think fall 2022 was my most prolific posting period) bc my life circumstances have changed and i dont have as much free time and energy as i did a year ago. and this is a good thing for me! im very happy with how my life is going rn! but i do miss getting to dedicate more of my time to thinking and talking abt gay pirates.

more than that tho. i also consider myself a half decent writer and like a pretty mediocre artist (and i don’t say that to be self deprecating, i’m not insecure abt where my skills are at for things that are essentially silly hobbies. worrying too much abt quality takes the fun out of it for me). and i’ve posted like a handful of scribbley ofmd doodles and one chapter of an abandoned WIP that i dislike now and actually don’t want anyone to read.

and sometimes i feel kinda? guilty?? about that?? not so much abt not posting as much anymore, bc like i said, i’m busier these days and that’s a good thing. it’s more abt art and fic, especially fic bc i actually have been writing a lot of ofmd stuff it’s just all WIPs, like i have more ofmd WIP files on my google drive than i can count and absolutely none of it is worth sharing. i’ve been telling myself i’m gonna write all this ofmd fic and then i never finish anything and sometimes it feels like i’m… idk, not doing enough for the fandom??? i feel like i should be Contributing More. like it is my civic duty and i’m letting my siblings in fandom down. and no, i don’t know why i feel this way.

anyway i have always been a big fan of rambling in the tags but i often like, forget other ppl can see them (which has gotten me in trouble before lol). in my brain, talking in the tags is like talking out loud for my own benefit.

idk i’m getting really teary realizing someone actually noticed and appreciated me doing that, that even when i’m not making any content myself or not as much of the content i want to be making or i’m making less content than i used to, i’m still contributing to the fandom in some way by cheering on other creators who have more time and/or energy to create more than i do. like i said, i’m mostly talking in the tags for myself, but i’m so so glad that ppl appreciate my thoughts and i’m so glad it’s encouraging to other fans. there is a lot of talent and a lot of love in this fandom and even tho it’s uhhh Rough Sometimes im still really fuckin glad to be here with y’all <3

For @ourflagmeansgayrights who I've never spoken to but who always reblogs with such lovely tags for all artists and gif makers and meta writers, and seems so so kind ❤️ thank you for keeping creators going!

Hi @ourflagmeansgayrights! You've received a lovely letter. 💌

[circumstellars]

i have a serious problem. im not even a discourse blog but im going to be spill it

nobody talks about it on my dash, which in itself is offensive, because thats a warning sign that most of these people are probably active enablers.

but ill be the one to say it i guess

The Umbrella Academy on netflix is super problematic and everyone keeps ignoring the harm its doing and im sick of it

The main "characters" on this show kill people with barely any care. I knew I should be worried that two people who do creative writing in show business like Steven Blackman and MCR would try and cross moral lines and of course they did. and the worst part is theyre paid to do it.

but theyre nowhere near as bad as the fans who glorify killing for free.

you wont believe some of the fics ive seen when voluntarily browsing through the TUA tags, and most of the time i dont even read the tags or filter them out, because whats the point I cant escape it. i guess i need to see it repeatedly day after day to even believe its real. if i dont go looking for it, then i might forget it exists.

and worst of all is the Five fans. hes so dangerous and gets excited about hurting people clearly and yet THESE VIOLENCE LOVING fans dont even care hes a CHILD, and yeah hes 58 but his mind and body and soul is entirely 13 and always will be!! they write or do these fanarts of him covered in blood and killing people anyway. wtf?

its frankly upsetting. i dont feel safe around these people, i dont know why they would support this. its wrong, morally, and its freaking illegal, and just repulsive. who would glorify such an act in their "writing"? only people who are quite literally okay with killing or people being killed write this kind of stuff. freaks. write about not illegal things, or is that too difficult when youre thinking about serial killing all the time? paedos.

and im speaking as someone who's great great grandfather was murdered, if i have to say it so youll believe me. in fact he was murdered with an axe, and everytime people put some gross Five (a CHILD) content in the tags where he's full of blood or weilding an axe like a godless sinner, I get physically nauseous. (i did watch it in the show when it happened the first time. and the other times. but i ignored it because it was so wrong obviously. but then i come to the umbrella academy fandom and have to see it again and again and again. these fans are so much worse than the original creators who wrote this. they do this for a hobby, and some of them are literally 30. i bet their family doesnt know they support this. why dont they go to their jobs or take their kids to church or smthg).

dont you dare tag my posts as murder or killing.

the murder academy fans better wake up and see what theyre doing is wrong. theyre no better than reginald, who i hate equally as much as a real person who is bad. imagine if a minor sees your violent art or fics, even tho they watched the show, now youre making them go to ao3 and pass all the nsfw consent buttons and read it more. its grooming and i wont stand for it.

anyways people who enjoy murder EVEN IF ITS FICTIONAL is wrong and serial killers better DNI i will shame you publically if i find out youre a serial killer or 13

rest in peace great great grandpa

i hope one day no one will ever hurt your memory by writing fanfic of murder ever again 😟 (sorry the picture is old i got from my mom its from the 1950s he was nice businessman and really tied any room together with a touch of nature.)

!!!2, 15, 28, 31, 49, 50!!!

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

oh this is FUN! sure, my top five are:

established relationship

selectively mute Red (pokémon)

Mute Red (pokémon)

blow jobs

Plot what plot/porn without plot

and I gotta say, partner, if those five tags don’t describe the Minnie experience and just how committed I am to writing red pokémon getting all the blow jobs he can handle, I don’t know what else can!!

but for reals, I DO love writing blow jobs A LOT and I love red a lot. so. AND I LOVE ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP!!! im not surprised that’s NUMBER ONE BABEEYYY

15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written?

aw man this is tough… I actually think my favorite AU hasn’t been written yet! but as for ones that are written I think… wow, I just love Bet the Farm a lot!! AND THERE’S SHEEP IN THAT AU, HOW COULD I SAY ANYTHING ELSE?? but Countryside is really close it’s like RIGHT THERE

28. Does anyone read your fics before you post them? If so, who?

lmao no, I literally just slap that shit on ao3, whatever happens in the final stages of editing and posting are between me and satan himself

31. What’s your ideal fic length to write?

I think I have several ideal fic lengths! It depends on the idea. I will give an outline.

simple one-shot: 3 – 7k

complex one-shot: 10 – 22k

chapter update: 15 – 25k

mini-series: 35k

By mini-series I mean…basically like a group of complex one-shots that’s like a mini chaptered fic. Like four or five chapters broken up real nice and easily digestible. Unfortunately, I always go over my ideal fic length because I have no self-control and I won’t shut up. But this is basically what I try for.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

I’m working on a couple of things. I’ll share something from GABA 7, which is a big chaptered fic and is my absolute favorite because I put all my headcanons in there.

50. Answer any question of your choice, or talk about anything you want to talk about!

lmfao and now I conveniently forget everything I’ve ever wanted to talk about.

I dunno, I’ve been thinking about the entire writing process lately and how fucking much it is at times. Like every time you open that document and write A word…or a sentence or a paragraph…and you come back and look at it and you hate it or you love it…I think it takes a lot of strength to write.

like it’s just so challenging!! to put words together. it’s not simple at all. and you get stuck in your own head a lot. but you keep going because no one else is going to write this shit for you. I think it takes a lot out of you, but it’s worth it because you put something out into the world that someone’s going to read and enjoy, even if you don’t know it.

I think we often forget, as writers, that people may not leave comments or say something to us directly, but they can love our work from afar. and that’s with any content creator but like. I especially want to say it about writers, because y’know, people kinda downplay writing like ‘anyone can write’ which is so fucking false idk who started that shit, but I would like a word.

idk do you ever think deeply about your hobbies and like…how much time you put into them? and you’re not mad, you’re just thinking about it. I love writing so much but I truly hate that period of when you’re nearly done with something and you hate it. literally the worst part of writing right after having to come up with titles/summaries.

thank you for sending all these questions ixan I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[letstalkaboutfandomsbaby]

PLS of course you're grateful for your followers what is that person talking about 😭 it's like they looked at five posts and formed an opinion based on that. Anon you can literally just not send people rude asks, did you know? It's free to just unfollow and move on with your life.

You're a lovely person Sunny, your blog is a highlight of my day. I hope the universe places lots of good things in your path 💛💛

This was very kind of you to send dear, i really appreciate this 💕

I can understand why someone may be confused about my response to things (my humor isn't for everyone and text can be easily misinterpreted) but sending that ask was uncalled for and very rude imo. I'm very grateful for my followers truly i am, but I've never asked ppl to follow me and i rarely ask for reassurance from my followers. It honestly makes me want to stop talking about my personal feelings on here which is bullshit bc this is MY blog, MY safe space, and i should be allowed to ppst whatever i want. I'm not a "cOnTeNt CrEaToR", im just a lady running a horny blog who likes to write as a hobby. Im a human, i have emotions, and that message just brought up dozens of negative thoughts about myself that I've been desperately trying to push down and disprove. Even now my brain is telling me how shitty i am for talking about all these feelings bc all im doing is being manipulative and guilting ppl and while ik that's not the truth, that's how i feel rn. Im just very hurt by that message and i don't even wanna be on here rn

[noritoshiikamo]

and i know it may sound like im faulting the creators for wanting to earn, but it's just...tumblr is one of the very few media&writing platforms where monetisation & subsequent "subscriptions" (as in kofi, patreon, etc) is by choice. everything feels lax and a tad more personal, and that's what I've always loved about this place, no matter how stupid and chaotic it becomes at times. literally every other site monetizes, and it just feels distant, vv professional. i knows it's all about money and business but cant we keep this space to ourselves? i legit only come on here to check up on people i follow, because i feel like we're all just distant friends lol everything feels intimate and personal, it's just the atmosphere on here (smtimes its a tad too much tho lol),,,and it kinda makes me sad that's going to disappear. yknow coz you change your mannerisms and approach to cater to an audience that's paying for you,,, i wont see you talking about how you went for a boba run or screaming about how sukuna looks so good in this fanart ("agshsjdjdkdkdkdks hot hot hot" -- this isnt the type of content a paid creator will put out) there really is a good number of options out there, kofi is one of the best, if not the best, for such situations. even so, there's other platforms for the other stuff (radish for example) if that's their issue. why is tumblr trying so hard,,,is tumblr running out of funds to keep the servers, what's going on? yknow what i mean? like instagram, youtube, freaking wattpad -- god forbid twitter pulls something like this.

and yeah, it's going to be like wattpad ngl it's going go be dead. sure, there are still lots of people on there,,,but i think you understand what im getting at? the site legit feels dead. i still have wp because of one sole book that I've been waiting for an update for about two years now, but i would have deleted it if it weren't for that. remember how wp used to have a group chat feature? it was so fun too, and everyone was engaging and interacting with each other :<<

ahhh well. i cant imagine many people staying if it pushes through. I'll gladly support if i want to, and when i have the means to do so. it's just...damn did tumblr really think this through? especially with that feature where you cant block a person once they're subscribed to you? i can just feel the minors scrambling to see past the 'dni' lmaooo

no no, i think most of the creators (who writes fanfics) understands that we shouldn't be making money of people's art, tipping is still okay i think but monetizing a whole ass shit is bad news

same, yall see how my blog goes i feel like me screaming help on genshin, barking over some arts are not worth to be charged for my followers to pay. i have ko-fi if someone wanna tipped me but im doing this 100% completely for fun, i dont wanna monetize my smut or anything bcs first, im not responsible for people's online experience, if you dont like smut or anything, youre free to scroll away and second, i understand as a fellow broke bitch, i remember being sad on wattpad bcs i cant read certain story bc i need to pay and such so yeah lol plus this is my hobby, not a work

sadly monitoring minors should be their priority than monetizing, bcs im seeing people at low as 15 writing smuts and dark content

[ateezgf]

im sorry this is really rubbing me the wrong way. why are you so pressed a rando on the internet doesnt have the same interests as you? how can you expect strangers to 'be quiet' and self censor their blogs and not express opinions unless it validates your hobbies? the consumerism thing is a completely valid critique of stuff going on in the industry and market, it's not targeting fans personally. if you dont like an opinion you dont have to engage, you definitely dont have to invent a clinical diagnosis implying how someone u dont know must feel superior to everyone because... they wrote some blog posts on their own blog directed at no one that you disagreed with. that looks a lot like projection.

im sending this because i wanna point out this is exactly the sort of behavior that drives people (especially well adjusted adults who can tolerate disagreement) out of fandom spaces because no one can express even the most mildly controversial opinion without others acting like they were personally attacked or straight up accusing the opinionhaver of personality disorders. ive seen it happen enough times. in the end you'll have contributed to an environment that is so hostile to normal differences in opinion that all the people capable of critical thought will be driven out and you'll be left with a miserable little mutually policing hivemind clique that laps up anything the artists companies put out regardless of whether its good art or money making garbage.

How did you get all that from the one sentence I posted

Anyway, I'm not upset that someone doesn't want to buy kpop merch. That definitely isn't a requirement ever. It's the fact that they're trying to come off as better than the average fan who does partake in buying merchandise. I could easily flip it around and be like "how can you not buy merch" and go on about all the positives in collecting something too; but I'm able to respect the stance other people have WITHOUT talking down on them. EDIT: People who think they’re better for buying more/stream more/etc. are equally as bad and annoying as someone who speaks on the opposite spectrum and I’ve spoken against those people before too. You’re barking at people who don’t do either.

Also I don't know where you pulled me inventing a clinical diagnosis from..? If you're talking about superiority complexes, that is indeed real. If not, then you can take my Psychology degree away and put me back in school. I don't know what you think I'm projecting because I also never tried to write myself off as better than someone who chooses not to partake in the things I do. Again, I never accused anyone of having a personality disorder? Stop pulling stuff out of thin air.

To call the people annoyed by someone constantly barking about how they're different for not doing the things they do and to insinuate that it's a pointless thing when the very person you're defending has been unnecessarily rude and hostile on multiple accounts to multiple people is contributing more to that type of environment than a couple of people saying they're tired of seeing someone's repeated self-praise for being different than the rest. The very person you're defending going out of their way to comment on content creators things and call it ugly directly to them is the type of behavior that drives people out of fandom spaces and away from hobbies they enjoy.

I saw they brought up lightsticks and that's part of korean concert culture. It's not some pointless cash grab as you for some reason think it is? Why would I spend money on an album if I don't like it too like...? That's exactly the thing a bunch of people were getting annoyed with. I respect the decision to not spend your money on kpop merchandise; but for you to practically call me a brainwashed individual just because I like buying albums with music I like is so unnecessary? Like.. Are you aware that I'm able to spend my money how I want to? Does that upset you? It seems like it does since you sent me this.

You trying to say that I'm incapable of critical thinking while also sending me an anon that is so far off from what I have said is just so..?? Like I had said in my original post, I never said no one can express their opinions; but it's also easier to just be like "I don't get it, but as long as you're having fun!" and move on without going on and on about how your stance is better.
