#it can be whatever the creator wants

"is heartstopper too wholesome and pure-?"

SHUT UP.

queer stories can be wholesome and sweet and normal.

queer stories can also be deranged and twisted and sick, abominable creations concocted by the world's most demented mad scientist who's gone mad with the power of creation.

both are so good.

so long as you support all queer stories (within reason, as queer does NOT excuse racism, sexism, etc), then stop arguing.

Let the gays have their choice of toppings.

Let the homos have everything on the menu.

we need ao3 for fanart and I am so completely serious. A universal platform not driven by any kind of professionalism or end goal, just for creating. Most important of all it needs to share the incredibly helpful and complex filing system ao3 does. this would be beneficial I think. because I want it.

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

Y'all know those fanfics where Saiki is an asshole to Teruhashi or really rude to her until they start dating? Yeah, this is what I imagine what that Saiki meeting Canon Saiki would be like.

Canon Saiki: So do you still deal with Teruhashi?

Fanfic Saiki: I can not avoid that woman. The other day she was bothering me when a mob of her fans showed up so I teleported away and-

Canon Saiki, surprised: You revealed your powers to her?! I mean, her fans do suck, so I can understand panicking and teleporting the both of you away-

Fanfic Saiki: What? No, I teleported myself away and left her there.

Canon Saiki: You what.

Fanfic Saiki: I teleported myself away. Well actually, I was the one who kinda summoned that crowd so that she'd be too overwhelmed with them to go find me-

Canon Saiki, shaking with murderous rage: You what.

[ cw: homophobia mention / transphobia mention / ]

Hate being mad on main but since apparently some people wanna be homophobic and transphobic in this fandom, on this website, in this year, I gotta say boy howdy I sure do love how literally none of the characters in Rise are cishet! Not a one!

Pride month? More like pride year, yeah?

(But yeah if there’s any homophobes or transphobes following me I heavily suggest you leave now, please.)

I’ve noticed some of my favorite characters in video games have something in common, ha ha. I’d love to hear about more characters like this, so comment below (if you’re comfortable ofc) what yours are!

a surprising sequel?!

[milogreer]

why are people still trying to white knight for erik like he wasn't the one who said "an anonymous person respectfully told me their honest feelings and gave me the kick in the ass i needed to be more communicative with patrons and also address the bad work habits i have." like i rly don't understand how you guys see it as a bad thing that a) someone felt comfortable enough to voice their concerns directly with a creator, b) said creator took their criticisms in stride rather than getting defensive, and c) is (hopefully) going to edit his work load to be more manageable so he isn't so stressed out and anxious all the time.

where is the downside in this? i feel like i'm going insane reading some of these responses. don't you want erik to feel comfortable telling us things instead of disappearing for a week? don't you want him to enjoy creating without feeling rushed for time or like he's going to disappoint someone for having to push something back? why are people so pissed off about this, it's not like someone left a bomb on his doorstep

[canisalbus]

I'm sure you get loads of these but heck I said I'd give it a shot anyway!

Your artwork is so inspiring and beautiful. I recently graduated from art school with a degree in Animation Production but I've decided I'd love to be an illustrator some day. Your work really motivates me and gets my brain juice buzzin. Keep it up!!!

"Now that I've seen Rebecca Sugar draw a messy Amethyst x Sadie situationship, I'm less mad about the GregPearl thing"

How are there people this fucking stupid out there and why are so many of them SU fans

[astrobei]

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

[hdusa]

are the songs on your playlist mostly for specific seasons/eras/moments or are they mostly more general songs for the overall character? what are your favorites and why?

in the spirit of recent events these are the songs I put on after every stream to really feel everything that happens

[l-a-l-o-u]

if you had to pick just one category of creative works to partake in, which one would it be?

[xchronicles]

I have.. yet again.. a crack theory

This fever dream of a shot might be the creator's intent to state - pay attention to the combadges; they hold clues, especially given the moment they show it in

And then, if you pay attention to Chakotay’s combadge(s), you’ll notice the scene later where Chakotay presents her with her old Voyager combadge to remind her of her command anniversary.

What does this imply? You guessed it - pay attention to the combadges again. If you do, and it’s literally a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, it seems they accidentally switched combadges and then switched them back.

The thing is, there are too many coincidences for this to be accidental. If it was an accident, then holy heck, did they get lucky that it made sense like this and perfectly fell into place.

If the show wanted to hint at a more personal interaction off-screen that led to this accidental switch, it would likely do so in a nuanced way that respects the tone of the series. An accidental switch of combadges could be a clever way to imply an intimate moment without directly addressing it, keeping the content appropriate for all viewers.

I am now once again deluding myself ... help

Bonus shot just to make everything super confusing... when it doubt, wear two combadges at once confirming all theories and creating a paradox of your own
