Important Announcement

Hello my ghosts, ghouls, my guys, gals, and genderqueer creatures of the night. I just wanna let you guys know due to a recent post I saw, I’ve updated the pinned post for those who choose to interact with me. I wanna remind people that I don’t want any judgment here. I don’t tolerate malice in fandoms, and honestly even if someone chose to come at me, I don’t care. You don’t know me outside of tumblr, and I have a loving circle of friends and family. I know I’m a worthwhile human to exist, and I’m sending my love, support, and some creativity to my mutuals, followers, and those random people who I may pop up on the dash of. You’re beautiful, and I hope you all have a nice day/night

Late night thoughts: I've often found myself wanting to contribute more to the fandoms I'm in, such as Harry Potter, lotr, anime, etc. but I don't really know what I'd like to do. I finally started writing fanfiction because of Hogwarts Legacy but I keep wanting to do more. I can't draw or sew and I can't make videos. I'm not as knowledgeable as everyone else and it is hard for me to memorize things like history (love British culture/history) and lore. I don't really know what to do besides just continuing to make fanfics, buying the merch, and going to places like wwohp and the london tour.

I have kind of wanted to make videos at some times but I have social anxiety and hate my voice, plus I have no professional microphones and would have to use my macbook microphone (and have never made videos in my entire life). I also wouldn’t be as deep/detailed as other content creators and I wouldn’t be able to come up with a constant stream of content. I could make videos on the hogwarts houses, especially my house Slytherin and talk about why people should really stop with the stereotypes but I don't know how I'd continue to come up with new things. And I want to make cool edits on tiktok of my hogwarts legacy characters and make funny content and make tiktoks of me in the harry potter world but the ideas for those escape me and it's hard to come up with them (and I'm not a tech person).

I don't think about it all the time, but sometimes I just sit and think "I want to do more." It just feels like the things I can do are limited and sometimes I just want to show my love for things in other ways, but I never know how exactly I want to show that love. I'll probably forget about this tomorrow but just wanted to get it out lol I get so contemplative and emotional at night 😂

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

Fascinated by this phenomenon

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here

"Imagine still posting fanart a whole year after the game came out" brother what are you talking about

"The existence of people who've never heard of [insert fandom here] makes me feel old" buddy, there are people who've never heard of just about anything you can think of. On a densely networked site like Tumblr, you're probably at most four or five mutual-of-a-mutual jumps removed from someone who's genuinely never heard of Batman.

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

i have nothing to say except i’m coping !

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.
