I hope you don't mind me asking this but I'm confused about something. Did you only do Mario art because it was a popular thing? Because it seemed like you thought a lot about it with headcanons and such
Quite the opposite! I ultimately stopped because my blog had gotten too big for my personal comfort, and also because it was occupying too much space inside my mind. 🥲 I was intensely invested in my personal vision of these characters; so much so that I was putting aside important things to accomodate time and energy for it.
And that wasn't healthy.
The previous communities I was in were very small by comparison. Private discord groups for the most part. I was still very new to sharing art with a broader audience when I joined the Mario fandom, and like I mentioned in my update, the effect that this had on me long-term was sadly far from beneficial.
I've always loved discussing headcanons and other concepts regarding the subjects I'm passionate about! And I still very much do. 🤲 But now I aim to do it in a way that feels more reasonable to me and doesn't obstruct my every day life. 🌱🌤️

Just realised that this coming Valentine's Day is the first time I will be spending it single in fifteen years.
And of the past fifteen years of my life, I have been single for a grand total of less than six months.
No wonder I was so fucking desperate to get away from everything, to move to the other side of the world and leave behind everyone I loved. I need the time to be me. I need the space to work out who I am without feeling obliged to be the person someone else needs me to be. I need to figure out who I am for myself, without someone telling me who I am.

I don't say this lightly, but to get better at writing you have to get more comfortable with rereading your own work. It's, unfortunately, obvious when someone won't reread their work to check for flow or mistakes. It's not cringey, it's your work, it's from you, it's great! It could be even better! Just. Read it. Please.

Maybe gender is like a cult--a community with its own beliefs, signs, rituals, and costuming to which each member subscribes to different degrees.
And some people, inducted at birth, never realize they are in a cult and never question it.
Some, question, but do not see how they could ever leave (even if they wish to).
Some realize they are in a cult, but realize also they are happy with their placement.
Some are loose in their affiliation, but still consider themselves members, others love every sign and costume, but don't consider themselves members most of the time or at all.
Some are weird about it and get really into the beliefs and everything to the point they condemn anyone who isn't as hardline as they are as not really belonging.
And some people leave, either for another cult or for none at all.

So we finished 'The Last of Us' last night.
I was really hopeful that it wasn't going to be yet another zombie show, mostly because there's been a saturation zombie related properties over the last 15-ish years.
But instead...
Tumblr media
Fuck.
Yeah, this is a show about exploring who we are in dire circumstances. What truths we tell ourselves and others, and what lies we tell.
When everything is broken, who are we? When we are broken, what will we do? What are our motivations? What, if anything, do we owe each other? What does survival look like for each person?

Sounds like you were pretty ignorant then if you didn’t have all the mass of super explicit and easy to see racism and Jew hate in hp. She literally says black people are inferior, Asian girls are objects, and goblin bankers are like jews word for word in the books.
Well, first off, I was about three years old when the first book came out and about seven when the first movie came out. I grew up on the movies and I didn't have anyone in my life to tell me there was something wrong.
I will admit back then that I was pretty ignorant, not intentionally mind you, but I grew up in a middle class white christian family with pretty moderate parents. I didn't hit any road bumps in that until I started getting into things like heavier rock, explored more adult movies and books than I was allowed access to at home, and got to experience some bad shit in my life. I also came out as bi when I was 12 and got bullied out of my church for it.
I didn't really have any clue about the world until about age twelve, that's when I started to learn about what is actually going on in our world.
I didn't learn about how bad the books were until I was eighteen and at the time I was so enthralled with the fandom that I let it slide thinking that it was just a fantasy book, what people were seeing was just them putting their bs onto HP.
I didn't get it until I was twenty and then actively started talking against the antisemitism and racism in HP on my HP blogs. I was coming up with my own magic schools that fought against these issues and I thought I could take the good from HP and make it less shitty with her views and morals. I still participated within the community but distanced myself from the source material.
I was 26 when JKR started her bigotted bullshit on twitter, and that was the final straw for me. As someone who is genderfluid, all her anti trans bs hit me hard. I had realized at that point I had been making excuses for far too long just to be part of the community I had made so many friends in and enjoyed so much as a kid.
After that I sold off most of my HP books and merch, I actively avoid buying anything HP, I inform others of her bs that are still deep into HP, I shut down my HP blogs, and I cut off the rotted branch of Harry Potter and JKR that I had left. I don't even watch the movies anymore.
TLDR: I admit to being ignorant to the issues when I was growing up on it, but once I learned I started distancing myself from the source material and advocting the issues. After the trans stuff I cut it off completely.

Thanks OP i needed this
I think it should take longer to make tv shows and movies. I think shooting days should be shorter. I think AD's lives should be longer. I think we shouldn't have to be in a goddamn rush all the time. I think we should have the time it takes to make good art. I think fans should wait even longer than they do and be happy that everyone who made the art is getting full nights of sleep.

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance
