Is it worse if Armand’s ms paint drawing of him and Daniel is really bad or really good?

So when I made that post and envisioned Armand's MS Painting, it was a perfect recreation of this:

(Except obviously with himself and Daniel, and very much pixelated and over saturated.)

But I can also see a version of this scenario where Armand wakes Daniel up and shoves his face into a bright screen, just to make him look at this:

Which I THINK is the crueler of the two options! Either way, my good friend Daniel Molloy has not gotten a good night's sleep in months because his freaky boyfriend keeps waking him up to show him things.

Now my question is. Does Cacophonix's reputation as the ultimate gaylord precede him. Does anyone outside of the village know him as Mr. Gay. Is he like Lil Nas X where gays all around the. Area. Look up to him as the gay icon that he is.

Thank you kindly, I LOVE getting asks from you cause they are a perfect excuse for me to draw Cacofonix, and if there's one thing in this fandom I love drawing as much as Gaylois, it's Cacofonix. Here's a little comic inspired by your question since I can't help myself:

I can easily imagine Cacofonix on a big trip, having fun and indulging all of the opportunities and glamour of city life, making friends (lovers? possibly? 😳) easily, courtesy of his charismatic and pleasant demeanor (at least as long as he doesn't try to sing). People obviously aren't fans of his musical talent, or rather a lack thereof, but whenever a stranger happens to recognize him and call him by name he tends to immediately jump to that conclusion and brag about it to his fellow village folks, who clearly aren't buying it, lmao. Admittedly, at the end of the day, being appreciated and recognized for being entertaining, pretty and gay rather than for your art is not the worst position to be in, so he does take it for what it is, though not without a healthy dose of fussing about constantly, no matter where he goes, being "strangely surrounded by people who don't seem to understand art".

Funny that you mention Lil Nas X cause I just made a playlist with my favourite bardcore covers in honor of Cacofonix the Ultimate Gaylord™ and Montero is the first song on it.

with every post i read, i regret it more and more

im only two hours into whats going to be a very slow shift at work, and im getting simultaneously more worked up and embarrassed by the minute

worked up because fucking UGH

i dont even want to speak abt it i just wanna be a mindless pup by your feet

but oh my god im so embarrassed because i keep scrolling through your page and i cant stop

sweeetheart!!!! I saw the amount of posts you liked darling, what a needy pup!!☺️ god you’re so cute sweetie!!

slow shift at work sounds perfect to come to my blog even more and tell me how worked up you are pretty puppy, alright? can you do that for me?😙

I will let you sit by my feet while I work, and when I take a break you can come sit in my lap pup, come here sit on my lap so I can slip my hand in your underwear. that won’t distract you, will it?😌😚

“handwaving genuine, good-hearted concrit, to refusing to even engage in the conversation at all, to constant changes that make the event less fun for a huge chunk of us”

Do you mind if I ask more about this? I’ve also participated in sicktember (casually) and I haven’t really noticed anything that fit this, so I just wanted to ask more about your experiences if you were comfortable elaborating. I’m mostly curious what changes were made that made the event less fun (other than delay in prompts released I heard about that)

yeah sure! right off the bat i wanna say that this is not something i was like. PISSED OFF or intending to start any drama about, just some stuff that made the event less enjoyable for me.

i also wanna say that you haven't noticed it because sicktember is very very careful to not publish anything that makes them look bad. they do not engage with any of their replies or asks unless they can spin it in a very sanitized, pr-friendly manner. try creeping through the tags and replies on some of their posts, and while a lot of shit is deleted or lost, you can still see traces of it, some of which i will link to here.

the prompts becoming more delayed. i wasn't here in 2021 (when they dropped in early march), but in 2022 they dropped in mid may. that was awesome because it gave us all lots of time to prep--my favourite thing about sicktember is how accessible of a prompt event it is! the prompts don't all drop like a week before the event starts, you have all summer to write so if you have a full time job or responsibilities you can still participate. this year they made it very clear the prompts were ready to go in may but didn't drop them until mid-june.

when people started sending asks about this, they responded thusly. they maintain this weird kinda... pr-friendly, stepford smiley vibe whenever anyone tries to open a dialogue with them? and it just comes across as so dismissive of anyone trying to make genuine points.

here they say that "many things go into planning prompts" but don't elaborate on that at all. for context, the night before this ask, they had made it clear that the prompts were all ready to go. the hand-waving comes in the form of all the "suggestions" they offer here--"well, you don't have to do every prompt!" (but i want to. it's fun. it feels good. and that's what i've done in the past) "you can write after september!" (i did that last year. it was kind of miserable. i like posting with everyone, it feels like a big celebration!) "we give you like 100 days!" (that's cool. but you could give us more at no detriment to yourself. a lot of us didn't make the deadline last year.)

check the notes on this post and you'll see several disappointed contributors/fans who are trying to open a dialogue with the event runners, all of whom were ignored. several people have reached out to me saying that their asks about this were ignored.

2. last year, they said they would only be accepting fills on the sicktember blog through submissions, and only posting 10 random ones a day. in the past, sicktember has reblogged every single fill directly from the writers.

here's why this is shitty:

when you submit something to a blog, the blog owner then becomes the one who effectively "owns" its engagement. that means any notes, reblogs, comments, follows, etc. all go to sicktember. they do not go to the person who MADE THE STORY. if you, the author, want to see what people are saying about your work, you have to pull up the sicktember window and obsessively check it. if you want to respond to any comments, you give sicktember more notes.

this is just more work, especially if you still want those notes. you would then have to make TWO posts, one on your personal blog and one on sicktember's. and people are probably disinclined to reblog a story twice. it is not exposure or engagement to do this, it actively robs authors of engagement.

sicktember might not even post your fill. they pick ten random ones a day. this is because...

they literally admitted that they lose followers when they reblog every fill. they said aloud that it is all about engagement for them. maintaining followers means more to them than highlighting the contributions of all the people who are making their event what it is. they are quite literally trying to maximize followers and stealing engagement from their contributors. it's kind of fucking insidious.

the only valid point here is the thing about reducing mod workload. still, they could've just... opened apps for another mod? inquired for some extra help? lord knows i would've jumped at the opportunity to curate! i'm sure others would've too.

contrast this to whumptober, who religiously reblog every single fill despite being a much longer running event than sicktember.

this is why i started @sicktemberfeed. with permission, but the mods were even weird about THAT... i asked if it would be ok to make, and they said "well, it's not like we could stop you." weird fucking answer. it's fine to say no.

3. i didn't speak out about point 2, but did speak out a little bit on this blog about point 1. @yes-i-am-happyaspie's husband (@spaceninjas42) dug through my blog, somehow found my untagged critique (it was not vitriolic or cruel, just a plea for an open discussion) and started getting on my case for talking about it on my personal blog. there was a second, much more vitriolic reply that he left but i was a dingus and blocked him as soon as i saw it, which means it's now marked deleted and i have no way of getting it back or proving it. that's kind of a "just trust me bro" situation.

4. the prompts this year were not very good. that is a purely subjective opinion i have, but a lot of us agree that they really stray from the concept of sickfic. we have a lot of heavier whump events floating around and the appeal of sicktember is that it is for fluffier, more low stakes stuff. seeing "cardiac arrest" and "anaphylaxis" and "medieval treatment" on there had me and a lot of others scratching our heads. their response to this is always "just sub it out!" but when we start running out of alt prompts because so many of the main ones are not what the audience is vibing with... there is room for critique there. there is room for a discussion.

i can't stress enough that the problem isn't necessarily these changes--they are not dealbreakers! the problem was sicktember's attitude. every single time anyone in the community tried to say 'hey, i think this idea could use work/tweaking' the response was basically just, again, the happy-go-lucky stepford smiler pr voice "we'd like to remind you that blah blah blah! happy writing, authors!" and absolute refusal to talk to their community at all. as i've said many times, this is not a dichotomy--where one side is "we fold to any criticism! our fans control us!" and the other side is "you're not entitled to anything! we run this event for free despite our busy lives!" like you can very much find a happy medium there but they just. do not.

none of that is a deal breaker, genuinely. i was still planning on participating up until the very end, and i obviously am now.

what was a deal breaker was them posting harry potter shit.

Please learn to differentiate between Palestine civilians and Hamas. It is Hamas that we should be blaming. They don't care about the civilians and are using them as shields. It's only right to recognise that difference.

When have I said Palestinian civilians = Hamas? I am vehement in my criticism of Hamas as a terrorist organization. Their actions are vile. Controlling elections, stealing aid, violating their own women, human shields, the list is literally endless.

I do not believe anybody should die. That is my stance. The fact that Palestinian women and children are suffering through no fault of theirs is heartbreaking. But I have never said Hamas is Palestine. I have reblogged resources to help Palestine. Regardless of the fact that their holy book wishes me dead, I do not believe innocents should die.

Israel is within its rights to defend itself. But as the group controlling Gaza, it is Hamas' responsibility to protect their civilians, not keep gleefully bombing Israel and making Pikachu faces when people die.

If this is about my general criticism of Islam, it is because that religion has tirelessly attacked mine. My people have been murdered and violated and erased and I will not sit in silence.

⏳(ancient-pokehistorian)

For every “⏳” I receive, my muse will openly talk about a bit of their backstory || Accepting

@ancient-pokehistorian

          "Some people in the Battle Chateau should not be allowed there— regardless of lineage or recommendation. And I say this as someone who has no 'noble' or 'prestigious' ties, and had was only allowed to step foot in there thanks to Viola's referral. As it is now, my ranking is as high as it can go. A Grand Duchess. But obviously... I had to work quite hard to get there. Win against a ridiculous amount of trainers,"

          "It took quite a long time. Still, to get back on track... when my ranking was still just Duchess... there was this one Baron. Herisson. He asked for my title, which I gave. Do you want to know what he did? He walked over, shook my hand, gave me this disgusting grin, winked and said that he— and I, regrettably, quote— is 'going to latch on to some nice duchess, and Aqua Jet his way to the top of society'. Thankfully, he was no challenge. Laughably not. And then he kept on going, telling me how he was 'levelling with me' and was 'actually super, crazy poor' and wanted to take revenge on life."

          "The worst part was... Farris, my late boyfriend— the son of Duke Hennessy and Duchess Catrina, who run the Battle Chateau—, was right there. The entire time. Next to me. We had gone there together. And that idiot had the audacity to say that, looking me dead in the eye. Some people are truly rude. Or stupid. I have never hated social rules and expectations more than in that moment. Neither of us were allowed to leave or cut him off... we had to listen to him. It very quickly became an inside joke for Farris and I."

          "Oh, and I am fairly certain there is a robot attending the chateau, too. And someone who keeps sending a man named Arran to battle me."
