#socialism with a human face fanart

[jennifer-jeong]

I just had the biggest brain moment BUT YOU HAVE TO HEAR ME OUT OK TRUST ME ON THIS...

Ok so imagine Love and Deepspace boys playing a game that they recently got into and see a character (reader) and just brush off their character at first (it can be for a few reasons, personality not appealing, read small parts of their lore and thought their character was boring ect ect) and then finally reads that character (readers) Lore AND HAVE IT BE THE MOST JAW DROPPING LORE KNOWN TO MANKIND AND BE A GREAT SOURCE OF THE READERS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT like absolute tear jerker and then after that the reader becomes their favorite character

(NO ONE HEARS ME OUT ON L&DS BOYS AND GAME CHARACTER READER AND IT MAKES ME SO UPSET)

ANON I WILL HEAR YOU OUT!!! You indeed have a big brain.

Fluff + Crack | LADS x Video Game Character!Reader His Favourite

SUMMARY L&DS boys realizing they actually love your character in the game they've been playing

CONTENT Fluff, crack, angst if you squint? gender neutral reader, CHARACTERS ARE 18+

RAFAYEL definitely brushes off your character at first not because he doesn't like your design or personality, but because he looked at the your lore section in the menus and went "I ain't reading all that." He still keeps your character in his party because he thinks you're pretty and your abilities are cool. He also loves that your character thanks him when you get put into the party and is just super sweet all around. But, it takes a while before he's browsing some online forums related to the game and sees people absolutely gushing over you and simping for you because your lore is so tragic. He's like ??? and starts reading peoples comments and spoilers instead of just reading your lore LMAO. He finds out that you're so grateful when you get added to party because all your loved ones were hunted for your powers and you have no one left. Rafayel literally shits his pants because as a Lemurian, the loss he's faced is also because of his powers etc. His family was killed and his home destroyed by greedy hunters. He sprints to open the game again and immediately read your lore, his heart aching because he relates so much. He finishes reading and probably throws a fit because he's so sad LOL. He honestly probably goes to make fanart of your character after that LMAOOOO. Needless to say, you become his favourite character hehe.

XAVIER probably really likes your character already and continues to play with your character in his party for months without reading your lore because he's a boomer and literally doesn't know that the lore menu exists LMFAO. Xavier is a big softie and probably just likes that your character is always bringing him gifts and asking to adventure with him. Eventually he probably gets curious and he's wondering if there really is no extra story to your character so he googles it to try to find answers. He immediately finds your wiki page and finds your lore section on the page. He gets so confused as to where they got this information from but starts reading. He learns that you've been damned to immortality and that you really enjoy company because it's so lonely. You've watched all your loved ones die time and time again and you can never join them. Xavier's character is also immortal and that's why you try so hard to hang out with him. Xavier probably just sits there, unmoving, for like a good 20 minutes after reading your lore because he's in pain and this is how he expresses it LOL. Xavier has a longer lifespan than humans in Linkon city because he's not originally from this planet, and he's watched people get old and pass while he barely even ages. You're immediately his favourite character and any post he sees about your character on social media, he immediately likes and reposts. (Xavier still doesn't know about the lore menu).

ZAYNE usually doesn't play video games with how busy he is but has been enjoying this popular game recently when he does have free time. Zayne probably picks your character early on to be in his party because he really likes that your character heals AND does a lot of damage. I imagine that he doesn't ignore your lore page, he just keeps telling himself he'll read it later when he gets a vacation. But obviously he just keeps working overtime because he's silly like that and he never finds the time. But eventually he gets the weekend off after like a month of overtime. He kinda forgets about the game a little but gets the urge to play because he does enjoy it. He remembers your lore page and decides to read it. He finds out that your character is in constant torment because of your powers, it eats you alive as you regenerate. You are able to do a lot of damage and discovered you can also heal others even though it causes more pain. You heal and fight because you don't want other people to suffer even though you're always suffering the most. Zayne takes off his glasses and slumps in his chair after reading your lore LOL. He's a doctor who has an evol that helps him fight but it sometimes hurts him when he uses it too much. But he always prioritizes other people over himself. You very quickly become his favourite character and he even sneaks off during his breaks at work sometimes to play this silly video game just so he can see you.

|| MASTERLIST <3 || Thank you for your request and for reading! ||

I was rereading your amazing worldbuilding and ended up pondering a bit about Kee and Buzz the alligator hydra. 1) Do either of them find the fact they can be socially separate on the internet something freeing? 2) Do you think as alligator hydra get involved with tech, do you think it'd be more likely for them to share an account or have separate accounts for each twin? 3) As someone who has migraines, does Kee get any of the "migraine hangover" parts or is it all Buzz?

As far as the in-universe internet is concerned, Kee is basically a cryptid - guy you only know exists because Buzz says he's an alligator hydra so, there's got to be another guy, right? There's another face near his in his pfp so???

The separateness of their online identities is just incidental to them having almost completely non-overlapping interests, with Buzz loving to debate people and Kee liking media like tv and movies. It hasn't occurred to either of them that being socially separate could or would be either possible or desirable - especially since Kee doesn't like talking to people very much. As a singular human he would have been a rarely-online loner with too many streaming service subscriptions and a letterboxd account.

Instead his brother seems to be the main one with an online footprint but his likes have an odd amount of chill nature photography and fanart for movies he says he's never watched, and sometimes he types completely differently but only to ask if anyone knows the name of a song that goes like [voice clip that sounds exactly like the song but only one instrument at a time and you can hear outdoor noises]

I think for their species it'll always be up to each pair to decide what makes sense, based on what they're trying to do online and why. But at the same time because their species social adaptations are slightly askew of human psychology the solutions might not always go as expected regardless of whether they present separate or combined accounts.

Like Ani and Adler who have separate email addresses... that are both handled and answered by Ani, except when he thinks it actually warrants getting Adler to form the response instead of just telling him about it later when he's not otherwise occupied.

Kee feels some of the postdrome symptoms that I'd say are more secondary rather than the ones that are part of the course of the migraine - like Buzz's nausea makes it hard for either of them to stay hydrated, so Kee feels the side effects of dehydration, ironically including sometimes getting a mild non-migraine headache of his own. He also finds Buzz's migraines unnerving since it makes them both vulnerable, so he's quietly on high alert the whole time so when it's over he's pretty exhausted. He doesn't get the body aches, fatigue and difficulty concentrating though.

What is Generation Loss: Unperson?

Unperson is a Generation Loss AU written, illustrated, and narrated by yours truly!

The story begins as canon-adjacent to Generation 1 (the first chapter, Savior's Stigmata, is technically a prologue, in that it takes place during the events of episode three of The Social Experiments). In chapters 2 and onwards, the cast of TSE begin an adventure anew.

Showfall Media has revolutionized the field of interactive entertainment. In Hetch's Social Experiments, this entertainment took the form of three consecutive livestreams, which the audience could actively participate in and, ultimately, decide the fate of the Hero [i.e. Generation 1 of Generation Loss]. Now, Showfall Media is proud to bring you entertainment through an even more immersive medium: video games.

Anathema Annihilation is Showfall's most innovative use of "Phantoptics" technology to date: a video game where one's choices really matter and actively impact the world we live in.

Charlie awakens in a new environment and with a new purpose as the face of the beta tester's Hero avatar. Elsewhere, Ranboo has been revived, reprogrammed, and repurposed with a new face of his own: a biomechanical, bestial antagonist known as "The Devourer".

The player character - the Hero (who we know to be Charlie) - joins forces with a helpful non-player Companion (Sneeg) to eliminate a wide range of enemies - known as "Anathemas" - across multiple levels, each culminating with a fight against a powerful boss: an "Abomination".

Depending on the player's Variant choice, the theme (and therefore appearance and ability mechanics) of the Anathemas, as well as the Hero and Companion classses, changes.

Regardless of the player's Variant choice, however, the Abominations always remain the same: previous cast members who have been previously rejected by an audience and have been revived and repurposed as biomechanical monstrosities.

As the Hero and Companion progress through the levels of Anathema Annihilation, their minds become increasingly plagued by questions concerning their memories, free will, and grasp of reality. But they are not the only ones cursed with introspection; the Devouerer, too, clings desperately on to whatever shreds of humanity it still possesses, and seeks, above all else, to avenge its friends.

...

Now that you have a brief synopsis of the world and premise of Unperson, if you are so inclined, you can read the available chapters here or check out the in-universe website I created for it!

On the website, you can find additional lore, concept art, links to all currently available chapters (as well as audiobook adaptations of all of them, narrated by the author), themed playlists, and a fanworks feature page (showcasing some of the fanart and cosplay that you guys have made for this story)!

I am always open to Tumblr asks if you have any further questions!

Please note that Unperson is currently on a bit of a hiatus, however, as I am in graduate school and must focus on my academics before working on this AU. It will be completed - I promise you that! I have plans for the rest of the story, as well as more art and such on the way. Patience is key ;)

Here are the currently available chapters:

That's all for now, folks! Remember to check out the official website as well as my Unperson Youtube Playlist, which contains speedpaints for all of the chapter art as well as the audiobook adaptation!

Lastly, if you'd like to keep up to date on this project or share your feedback, follow or post on the #UnpersonGL tag!

I've seen the same post a hundred times now. Sometimes it's a few days old, sometimes it's from years ago, but it's always the same. Some anti posts about how they don't understand how anyone can like Snape because he was so awful, and then there's a long reply that goes something like, "imagine this happens to you, and then this, and then this" to describe Snape's experience. Sometimes there's some James Potter hate thrown in.

Look. You can go through describing a character's entire experience but you don't really need to. Here's the thing that antis don't understand:

For all her faults (and they're big, bigoted ones) Rowling understood a really integral part of the human experience and conveyed it through Snape. Everyone needs love and to feel accepted. It's that simple. Snape became a Death Eater to seek acceptance (Rowling has confirmed this, though I can't remember the source - whoever wants to add it please do), because it was the only way he could find any.

Snape's understanding of morality, like everyone's, is subjective. Some readers understand this and some don't. When faced against a morality that says there is good and bad in the world, everyone makes choices based on their personal experience. Context is everything. Someone who experiences pain and suffering will not see the person inflicting it on them as moral. That's it. 'How can this person be good when they caused me so much suffering?' = human psychology. Most of the people who think 'I'm a bad person and deserve this' have been gaslit and abused into thinking so, because it's not a natural reaction - it's one that has to often be socialized into someone at a young age, exactly because it's not natural. Everyone is the hero of their own story; no one sees themselves as a villain, because they see the valid aspects of their own perspective.

You can write essays on how vulnerable people needing acceptance is what cults and fascists exploit to recruit vulnerable people, or on how the standard anti's un-nuanced reading of Snape both ignores canon and displays a disturbing lack of empathy or compassion, but at its core it just boils down to context. From Snape's perspective he experienced cruelty, therefore the people inflicting it must be cruel. Again, it's that simple. He was a person, like any other, except he was fictional so he wasn't even real. On the flip side is James Potter, who, for all his faults, didn't get to live long enough to get a chance to change and grow unlike Snape, and I think the Snapedom also needs to acknowledge that.

They're fictional characters representing things an author wants to say, not sports teams, not martyrs, and not all good or all bad emblems that define your identity depending on how you feel about them. It's depressing how much time is wasted arguing with bullies and trolls whether from the Marauders fandom or just random antis. I literally can't find more than three blogs to follow without this argument coming across my feed daily. I know the Snapedom is Not OK™ and that's kind why we're all here, and I know that my take is super unpopular but like Snape, I don't care what others think: this fandom has been having the exact same argument for years and nothing has changed. There's fanart and meta and fic and so much content out there appreciating this character, you're not going to change an anti's mind who's deliberately trolling in the tags, so why are you trying? What are you getting out of it? What does it give you? It's exhausting just scrolling past it.

Have you had any thoughts on hybrid versions of the one piece characters? I love seeing what animals people associate with the characters 😅. Also ears and tails are cute

Hybrid Au, my beloved!!! owo I tend to go heavier with the animal research/xeno than just "ears and tails", but yes, I absolutely have thoughts— here's a handful of my favorites/who comes to mind!

. . .

Kaidou — Auroch bull: The now-extinct relative of modern cattle, closely related to Spanish fighting bulls. Bull feels fitting for Kaidou, I think— they're huge, potentially dangerous animals that get screwed over in blood sports or as slaughterhouse bait, and near-universally seen as aggressive because of instincts that are based in self-preservation or protecting a herd. And of course, ending up as a bull hybrid is just what happens to my favs, by now... (@senjuushi)

Judge — Tawny eagle: His "Garuda" theme implies a bird of prey from the start, so it's an easy pick! Described as "opportunistic", with a habit of feeding on carrion (and stealing other animals' prey), yet still "a bold and active predator", tawny eagles fit well with Judge's vibe of regal, pompous, and trying way too hard. They also tend to mate for life... and male birds are known for flashy courtship habits. Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji would be the same species for this Au.

Sanji — Mourning dove: Keeping with the bird theme of his family, but a far less bloodthirsty species. Mourning doves are fluffy, vocal birds that are known for being "prolific breeders". They can be territorial between males, but are also social pair-bonders. Sora would have been a dove too, and Sanji sharing her species is just one more sign that the modifications failed. There's also something very fitting about a "caged bird" theme for his experiences with Germa.

Spandam — Giant panda: Useless animal that would be extinct by now without human intervention. Clumsy, pathetic, and admittedly pretty cute, but not good for much other than existing under careful supervision in a zoo. Of course, Spandam's terrible personality ruins most of the cuteness effect his hybrid species might have— ultimately, he's a needy, spoiled idiot who's eternally dependent on the care of others. And personally, I think he should have a cute, sensitive little stubby tail, perfect to yank on when he's being a brat.

Katakuri — Grizzly bear: Linlin is a grizzly hybrid as well, and the shared species adds to Katakuri's reputation as her "perfect" son. He's huge, powerful, and highly threatening... but would be just as content to gorge himself on snacks and all but hibernate afterward. If it wasn't for his self-imposed standard of perfection, that is. His fucked-up mouth seems even worse on a large predator species, too, which definitely adds to his complex/self-consciousness over it.

Perospero — Red fox: I saw a fanart of him as a fox hybrid on Pixiv, and it convinced me. A smug, sneaky bastard who takes after his mother's carnivore tendencies, but with far less of an intimidation factor to back it up. Annoyingly talkative and far more socially oriented than he wants to admit, as well as capable of being an absolute nuisance when he wants to— all of that sounds very fitting for Peros, I think. And fox whining noises fit his crybaby side.

Cracker — Bushy-tailed woodrat: Prey animals that are described as "vocal and boisterous", and nuisances for "creating general noisy havoc"— seems appropriate for Cracker, an overconfident brat who's far less tough than he acts. Packrats (the overall category) are nest-builders, too, which fits with how he spends so much time hiding in his biscuit soldiers to avoid direct combat. Woodrats also apparently have a foot-thumping tendency; a good match for his clapping!

Pudding — British longhair cat: Babygirl-looking murder machine seems highly appropriate. British longhairs have the sweetest little faces and soft coats, but cats are nature's finest serial killers at their core. Pudding would be perfect as a needy, jealousy-prone kitty who's way too good at playing up the cutesy kitten act to get on people's good sides— right up until a tsundere moment kicks in. Then, she's all puffed-up, twitching tail and poorly stifled purring.

Caesar — Axolotl: Like his pet poison slime thing! Axolotls are apparently "used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs, gills, and parts of their eyes and brains", which feels fitting for Caesar, as does the fact that they're tricky to take care of as pets (and keep getting put in cages by people who don't treat them well, at that). Also, those feathery external gills are cute!!

Queen — American alligator: Lethal fat fuck of a reptile, exactly how Queen should be! Alligators can be lazy and kind of goofy-looking, but they're still dangerous and very strong. The huge, thick tail is also an obvious plus (the "Brachio-Snakeus" trick haunts me). And really, can't you see him sprawled out all lazy, for gator-style sunbathing?

Drake — Rottweiler/Border Collie mix: A strong, intelligent, capable, and work-oriented animal, that would (as a dog-experienced friend put it), "tear a house down to the foundation" if left without enough to occupy it. Drake gives me "beaten dog" vibes, in general, and it feels fitting that his hybrid species could easily have been sweet, if not for the trauma and DEEP psychological issues.

Law — Shorthaired silver tabby: Law is so very catboy-coded. He's a grumpy, fussy kitty who will both claw your arm open if you try to touch him, and could just as easily be reduced to a purring puddle if his guard gets torn down enough to allow it. Cats are highly effective agents of violence (and can be total bastards, when they want to), but also absolute babies. And imagine tiny, angry catboy Law getting scruffed by Rocinante to prevent the aforementioned clawing.

I’ve been trying to think of ideas for a deathnote oc since brainrot took over-

So far I have another Wammy’s house FREAK Zee, who’s also a detective but nowhere near as influential as L, he’s like a human lie detector but it’s not perfect, L’s ran his statistics and deducted against someone like him Zee only catches about 40% of his lies. Still finding it helpful and his wildcard-esc behaviors L figured it’d be a gamble in his favor to put him on the task force.

He likes seafood and has a pet Betta fish, his personality is extroverted and very in your face disregarding social standards and personal space. He’ll also typically say exactly what’s on his mind. His quirks are fidgeting with his scarf, when catching a lie his hair stands on end a bit like a scared cat, not wearing shoes but still wearing socks, various vocal stims, and hand gestures. (I’ll probably work out details as I work on dis lol story lololol) Zee’s around L’s age and knew of him at Wammy’s house but they never interacted much. Zee’s used to getting stares between his odd clothing choices or to the fact of how pale he is and red eyes, he’s heard about vampire joke in the book. He does have a more serious side and enjoys the Kira case strictly for the thrill of gambling his life during it, it’s the first time he’s had actual ‘fun’ in years

And then his name is slapped in the deathnote and he dies the end uwu

ANYWAYS let me know if you’re interested in seeing more I wanna get back to drawing fanart LOL

My Writing Masterpost!

Fandom list is long and varied.

Little Scraps of Wisdom

Splinter was never mutated, and never Splinter. Instead Hamato Yoshi escapes the Hidden City still human, and with four sons. What's an action star to do? _____________________________________________________________

LSoW was originally based off of THIS fanart! It has veered wildly off of that since I initially started, however. LSoW is about how the Hamato family navigates living a relatively public and above ground life in New York City, with family, friends, and social security numbers. Things will both be better, and worse.

The Fic:

Little Scraps of Wisdom:

“Okay you can get your breath back, I’m glad, but can we please address the turtles in the room. They are turtles right? Not fucked up little frogs?”

“Do. Not. Swear. In. Front. Of. The children.”

Yoshi managed to get out between sobs, sniffing heavily yet again, hard enough to rattle his sinuses. Orange wailed in agreement, and to his horror Red looked as if he was going to be soon to follow, holding his own tail, and eyes wide in distress at Yoshi and Orange’s noise. Purple’s face was still buried in Yoshi’s sweater even with the addition of his brothers to the lap, and Blue simply looked delighted at all the commotion, yanking on Yoshi’s sleeve as if to make sure he didn’t miss it.

“They’re children?”

“Of course they’re children!” An Act of Poetry

“Veterinarian’s aren’t that unusual a request in a New York hospital, Mr. Munroe.” Dr. Heo interrupted, not looking up from the clipboard. “You would be astonished at the amount of exotic animals that end up here in one way or another, in someone's emergency room visit. Not that often with your request though. Pediatric.” She said wryly, and finally looked up. Her smile warmed when she saw Yoshi’s pale, sweaty face, familiar with the sight of a father about to throw up. “Relax Dad, everything’s going to be fine. Now let’s see the babies. ”Yoshi looked over at Sal, who nodded. Both doctor’s had signed the paperwork, and they were foregoing an assisting nurse in the spirit of discretion. Yoshi leant down for the carrier, giving it a couple of shushing noises and a quiet comforting murmur in Japanese as he brought it up to the table. Dr. Carter was leaning over Dr. Heo’s shoulder with the same bemused calm he had entered with, as if curious, but not too particularly fussed by the secrecy. Once the pleated shade of the carrier was tilted back though, both his and Dr. Heo’s faces froze in expressions of shock. A Short Season Lou Jitsu's finger tapped on the counter thoughtfully. “If you scream when you see them, you will be fired. I will ask you to leave.” He finally said after a long silence, that Xander was too terrified to break. He said it calmly, and with such a cheerful pitch to his voice that Xander didn’t understand what he was even saying for a moment. When the words clicked, he frowned, narrowing his eyes to see if he was joking. Lou Jitsu’s face was still faintly smiling, his hair pushed back by one hand as he turned and bustled over to the coffee maker, starting it to burbling. But Xander felt a cold run down his back, as he realized there was a sleepy sort of danger in Lou Jitsu’s eyes, one that promised repercussions, for something Xander didn’t even know about yet. “Wh- what? Why would I-” “BOYS!” Lou Jitsu bellowed, startling Xander enough to hit his knees on the bottom of the counter. His satchel was clutched in nervous clammy hands on his lap, and his glasses almost slipped off of his nose with surprise. “COME MEET XANDER.” Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights out)

They were approaching the venue, the limo slowing to a crawl as it joined the caravan of expensive cars that were being allowed through the blockade to the show.

Blue had begged to come. His sons loved fashion, and he loved to encourage them; but outside of a very carefully curated couple of interviews with Miss O’Neil, and a couple of other articles, they had not been out in the frenzy of media attention as their father had.

He and Sal had made very sure of that.

And Yoshi had been planning on keeping things that way, until Blue and Purple had discovered Yoshi had been invited to Fashion Week. 25 cents really stacks up Raph nodded hesitantly. His heart was beating really fast, but he breathed slowly like Pops taught him. He caught his Dad’s eye while Dr. Carter and the dentist sat in their seats and rolled themselves forward, swinging the tray on an arm over with all the things on it that Raph couldn’t quite see. His Pops smiled, and made his mouth an ‘o’, breathing in slowly, and then holding it, and then out. Raph breathed with him, and shut his eyes, turning to face back up at the lamp. Dr. Carter put some glasses on his snout and carefully taped them down, then gave Raph another smile. “Looking good! Hey, they’re the same color as Lou Jitsu’s glasses, huh?” “Oh, yeah.” Raph said in a shaky voice. “...I guess.” “Okay, here we go- open up for me Raph?” King in the Corner, Knight Takes Bishop “John Bishop! It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person- I am not generally one to prevaricate, but I was starting to think you wouldn’t be able to track me down before my voice broke.” Donnie said with a casual disinterest, not even leaving his eyes on the intruder sitting where Leo usually sat- back to the kitchen window, and the entire room under the view of his blank, featureless sunglasses. “I’d offer you something to drink- but. Well. You wouldn’t take it, and I don’t want you touching my things anyway. But don’t worry. We’ll have plenty of time to talk about that.”

Best Interest

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”-Ben Franklin

Going to school is hard enough as a kid; it’s a whole other ballpark when you and your brothers aren’t even human.

Or; a collection of one shots all set in the LSoW universe, about the boys going to school, in a world where Hamato Yoshi is just trying his best.

Little Scraps of Empathy (Fic CROSSOVER)

“Oh my- thank you god.” April whispered, shuffling into view with a bat in her hands. “They haven’t really done anything, but. I peeked in again, and Yoshi they are definitely not rats or raccoons.” She hissed, wringing the grip of her bat. “Are there uh. Like, other…” She trailed off uncertainly, looking over at Raph and back to Yoshi. “...Kids, you have, that we should know about?” Her voice raised in pitch to a squeak, trying to convey careful nonchalance with the question and failing miserably.

“What.” Raph’s voice was a little louder than he’d intended, and April hissed at him (a very turtley noise, more than a human ‘shhh’ and they really had to make sure she knew she was doing that) to ‘oh my god be quiet.’

“If you freak them out Raphael Hamato so help me-”

“I’m not gonna freak them out- Pops you said it was rats.” Raph said accusingly, tail lashing.

“I said it was probably rats.”

Case of the Hidden City vs Lou Jitsu

They stepped through into the Hidden City.

There was a familiar swooping feeling that Sal had gotten from falling through the portal a few days ago, although not nearly so disorienting since unlike before he was on his own two feet. Remembering his instructions from Mariko, Sal kept moving even though he couldn’t see anything past the spinning void of pink and green and blue, Lou close behind him. Their shoes made noise as they came in contact with some kind of ground, but before Sal could even begin to think of what it could be, he and Lou were blinking under the bright bioluminescent glow of the Hidden City streetlights.

Also unlike before, was the friendlier face there to greet them. “Welcome back, Mr. Munroe. Hamato-san.” Mariko said with a smile.

Support your favorite creative(s) this season!

So, it’s the holiday season (for values of holiday which can be anything you care to celebrate during the winter months) and you would like to support your favorite creative(s). What are some good ways to do that?

Tell the world about them

If someone is a favorite of yours, there’s a good chance that you know someone else who will enjoy their work. Signal boost the creative’s posts. Create your own post with links to their work. Showcase some of your favorite pieces of theirs with a snippet and a link to the original. Talk about why you love the work (trust me, your favorite creative will love to hear this just as much as your friends will appreciate finding out about something new).

Important side note which I know you know but it bears repeating: please reblog and link to your favorite creative’s posts; do not repost their material. Reposting might sound like a great way to show off what the creative does, but it doesn’t help anyone find them. Please be considerate.

Post reviews of their work

Instructions for this depends on what type of creative you are following. If they are a writer, leave a review on Goodreads, Storygraph, Amazon, B&N, whatever platform you choose. Positive reviews are how writers get discovered.

If your creative is an artist and has a platform where they offer commissions, leave a review there if appropriate. Give them five stars. Help your creative climb the ranks from unknown to well-reviewed!

Follow them on social media

If your creative has a list of social media accounts, follow them! This gives you a better chance to help signal boost their cool stuff (as well as hearing about it when they post!). It also gives you a chance to interact, and to see what they’re like when they aren’t creating. If you like their creations, you might have other things in common. 

Does your creative have a newsletter? Subscribe! You can even forward copies to your friends if there’s something really cool you want to share. A Patreon? Check to see if they have free material posted. Many Patreons allow people to follow at a free level, and while there might be paywall-locked material, there might be unlocked material as well.

Social media is wide and varied these days, with everything from Bluesky and Mastodon, to old-school Facebook pages, to even older-school platforms like Dreamwidth. Don’t forget the little known Pillowfort, or the highly fannish Tumblr. Even better, be aware that your creative may present different faces in different spaces. They are just as human as the rest of us!

Talk to them

I’m serious! Being a creative is like shouting into the abyss… if the abyss happens to shout back, that’s emotional food that can sustain a creative for days. Most creatives have several places where they can be found, either for private communication (check to see if they accept messages/DMs/emails first, please) or for public conversation (social media can be wonderful!). 

Create a transformative work

This won’t work for all creatives. BUT. If your creative is a writer, I would place a bet that they would LOVE fanart of their work. Or maybe that’s just me.

Buy their stuff

Yes, this one requires money, and I am well aware that most of us don’t have the budget for monetary support. And that’s fine! As shown above, there are so many other ways to support your creative and help them grow. But if you do have the budget, picking up copies of their work means you can get great gifts for your friends (and help spread the word!). And if you’re up for it, monthly support via Patreon, or random tips are always nice and appreciated things.

Ask them what will help

In the end, every creative has their own list of things that will help them most, and almost every single one would be happy to tell anyone what would help Right Now.

I’m putting this next bit behind a cut/read-more/clicky-link — whatever is appropriate to the platform you’re reading this on. Because this is the personal bit where I add links to the places you can find me. 

And if you are a creative and you are reblogging this on a platform which allows reblogs, please add your own list of helpful information. If it’s a place with comments, please comment! I want to help by giving other creatives a way to get information out.

Where can you find me…?

TrisLawrence.com is my professional website, with blog posts, upcoming appearances, and links to where to find my Stuff.

I post blog entries on Tumblr, Pillowfort, and Dreamwidth (which mirrors on Livejournal and Insanejournal).

I babble randomly on Bluesky and Mastodon. While I exist on Twi-X, I no longer post there.

I have a professional Facebook page. I have an Instagram. I have a TikTok that I am trying to learn how to use.

I am also active in several Discord communities, if you happen to find me there.

wait, thinking about that ask that talked about the live action grunts thing, gotta remember Player(In salty's au that is) is a streamer, imagine one of the boys accidentally passes by in the background of their stream and people start asking about it, chat asking whoever was that that walked by to come to the camera. and if one of them- say Deimos ends up showing his face- unaware Player was streaming- and people start freaking out about it because "WTF WHATS DEIMOS'S ACTOR DOING IN YOUR HOUSE PLAYER??" or worse, if a fan meets Player in the streets while accompanied by the boys- they'll freak out about it like OH SHIT ITS THE ACTORS. what do they do then?? just be like "oh no its just my roommates that look a lot like them haha and they're cosplaying ahaha" HJGFEWA WAIT FUCK IF SOME RANDOM THAT JUST RECOGNIZES THEM AS THE CHARACTERS- sorry my brain is going at 100 speed - Plague Anon [|87

Being a streamer has many perks.

You get to play games for a living, get paid by strangers, run events for charity, and never have to leave your home to socialize or deal with people in public. But there are some unexpected drawbacks from being a streamer. Getting doxxed, being messaged by needy creeps, and getting rather...unflattering fanart was part of the gig.

However, there was also just the reality that your camera captured more than just you sometimes. One day while you were streaming, you had forgotten to lock the door to your room as you usually do. A practice that became normal after you started getting regular visits from your beloved Nevadeans.

Today, Deimos just decided to randomly come into your room while you were live. You, being focused on the game you were playing, didn't take notice of the door to your streaming room opening and revealing the humanoid Deimos to the chat.

It took a text-to-speech bit alert to let you know that someone was in your room. Upon turning around and seeing Deimos, you nearly choked on your spit in shock.

The mercenary wasted no time hurrying over and getting into your business. Giving the cam a great shot of him looking at your screen and set up.

The chat starts going wild as you internally freak out.

"Hey, what's up with this gig? Is this how you've been seeing us--"

"SHH!! D, why are you here?!"

You hurriedly whisper as you try to push the merc back away from your cam with little success. The moment he spoke, the chat was flooded with surprise and heart emojis.

"OH! This is that 'Chat' you keep mentioning! What's up, chat!!" Deimos would happily respond to a flood of pog emojis and hearts. "Look, they all know my name! Isn't that cute?"

"DEI." You say sternly, finally getting the impulsive merc to look at you.

Completely unaware that Sanford had also entered the room and was currently standing over your left shoulder, in contrast to Deimos standing on your right. The chat took notice of him quickly and also started freaking out about Sanford.

One comment about Sanford and you turn around to look at the new arrival with wide eyes.

"Sanford! Look! This is Player's "chat" and they LOVE me!" Deimos gloats as Sanford looks at the screen as the Player hunches down and nervously flicks their gaze from the two men in the room to the computer and back again.

The chat goes nuts again with pogs and heart emojis with many of the chatters screaming in all caps for Sanford to flex. Sanford can't help the smile that creeps on his face as he watches, what appears to be numerous fans, BEG him to flex his muscles.

To which, Sanford obliges and it causes the chat to go full rabid.

"Hey! I can flex too!!" Deimos chimes in as he also starts flexing, fueling the thirst of the chat by a major amount.

Poor Player can only cover their face in the corner of the camera in exasperation as the two grunts-turned-human flex and show off in their cam to excite their audience. Each one soaking up the compliments thrown at them like sponges.

"OKAY, OKAY! TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!" You loudly shout before pressing a series of buttons, muting your mic, throwing up the 'technical difficulties: please hold' intermission, and closing the cover on your camera.

Then you turn to the two mercenaries in the room.

"What are you two doing?!? How am I going to explain this to the chat?? There's now going to be so many rumors that I live or know the live action cast for Madness Combat! When you aren't even the same people! This is WHY I tell you again and again to stay out of the streaming room when I'm live!"

You scold the two like children as you flick your gaze to the screen, seeing how upset chat had gotten after you booted them to the issue intermission.

"Oh...we're sorry, Player. I probably should've grabbed Deimos and pulled him out of the room when I had the chance." Sanford regretfully states, looking down in an ashamed manner.

"I'm not sorry. Did you SEE how my voice could make so many people melt? I got so many heart emojis! They love me~"

Deimos is then promptly whacked on the head by his taller partner as the two get into a slight argument.

You can only sigh and shake your head and pinch your nose.

How were you going to explain this one...?

Housing interdimensional beings was much harder than you originally thought...

Wondering your thoughts on something I’ve noticed a lot in the Sandman fandom - namely, that every fanart or fanfic involving Daniel (based on the show!!) always portrays/describes him as white, despite the fact that show!Danny’s dad is a black man…

i think there's a few factors at work. first (and foremost) people trying to incorporate bits of the comix in the absence of "official" casting (almost every fanart and a lot of fanfics defaulted to Destruction as a white, red-haired man before the actor was announced). Danny in the comix is a blonde baby and then a sort of...ghostly amalgam of a young man who never existed and Morpheus as we knew him (disheveled hair, gaunt figure, sharp cheekbones, dark eyes). what would that look like in the show? i don't know! i'm hoping there's at least a nod to Daniel's human parentage (he's blonde in the comix BECAUSE he's Lyta Hall's son, and in the comix she's blonde), but i think there are a few ways that it could be cast. Danny!Dream as mixed, light-skinned, and/or racially ambiguous could be both really tragic and really compelling: the erasure of where he came from as metaphor for his personal losses (of family, of childhood, of "personhood" in a human sense), and the insistence on some reminder of his parents, his past, as a counter to his "function." i'd love to see that explored in fic! (as someone who also defaults to comix!Daniel - though there IS a reasoning behind this choice in the LA guard dog universe and non-Dreaming aus.)

at the same time, i think it's partially a function of fans getting attached to Tom Sturridge's portrayal of Dream. when s1 came out, i saw some discourse circulating about how already people weren't ready to "lose" him (and i think some of this filtered into the whole "retired" Dream headcanons, though that's another discussion). and i get that if someone else is cast as Danny, there's going to be a...reaction to both the actor figured as a "replacement" for Tom and the character as a "replacement" for the Dream that fans became attached to. which then becomes a possible burden on the actor. Rose's actor, Vanesu Samunyai, got significant backlash for being a Black woman to play a character who was white and blonde in the comix, and i could see that kind of racism seeping into people's reactions to Daniel. (also a fan grief/sadness at the tragic ending used as a "justification" for racism.) it's not clear to me how much support nonwhite actors like Vanesu get when they're cast in these roles where fans might "expect" a white actor. (like...Riordan told Leah Jeffries in the new PJO series not to listen to the haters because he chose her, which is great and all, but...is production working to ensure that she has someone she can safely process her experiences with, is she given reasonable accommodations, is someone else moderating her socials so she doesn't have to deal with trolls?) so that's another consideration.

(obviously the "solution" isn't to never cast nonwhite actors, but there's been an increase in "diverse representation" in media without a discussion of how these predominantly white spaces have material impact on nonwhite creatives.)

last thing is just that i've noticed the sandman fandom generally seems...more reluctant to engage in alt. casting than say, musical theater fandoms, where there's an expectation that the principal actor won't always be in a role or present when you witness the performance. there's this automatic turn toward finding someone who fits, for example, Delirium from the comix in the absence of an official show casting, rather than playing around with the uncertainty. (personally i'm out here championing Bailey Bass as my Delirium face cast, and tbh if they cast the rest of the Endless sibs as white, she and Stephanie Hsu will remain my primary Del references.) which i think is common in fandoms that rely on a visual "text" for reference, and even more so for Neilman tv fandoms, where fans seem to want/expect "word of god" affirmation. again, another discussion, but i'll just say for now i think the fandom suffers for it.

Pretty sure fanart was allowed lmao wanted to draw Scarlet, belonging to @extraskully5 meeting Vector my smallest 'mewtwo' (I don't think she's a true two tbh but shh), because that's a whole baby and Scarlet being a sweetheart who gives hugs is too cute not to have her look at this messed up little creature and sob and want to hold

Character information rambles on Vector under readmore

Tried to make it size canon complacent but like idk I don't have a height chart XD Vector is 4'5 so less than double Scarlets height I think? Dunno if accurate but I tried!

Vector was a shiny mew infant who went through years of medical experimentation being used to create vaccines cause mew made everything? Will have something to combat diseases so infected with things to have the antibodies stolen and turned into human compatible ones.

Eventually her body mutated after ingesting human blood from biting someone probably with some petridish jelly and her mew dna took on the human dna destroying its complex chains to destroy her usefulness in a desperate act of self preservation mutating her with the human dna and viruses diseases she'd been infected with and jelly to become a living breathing biohazard a vector for diseases.

Baby has issues lmao 0 social skills and awareness of ability all know is things attack her as she carries diseases and then they die cycle of life and humans very bad no good. Doesn't know what she is what she was cant mew or two and literally can't mew very limited vocalisation communication ability since ignored babies tend to stop crying :c

Looks at Scarlet and has no idea what she is or why she isn't attacking but is comforted by how gentle she feels as her aura is likely pleasant, I wanted Scarlet to be kinda reaching out to wanting to touch and gently grab hold Vectors face but she's probably practicing caution due to weird creatur

I just threw up like half-a-tashcan worth and now I'm stuck with vomit stench in my room from missing the bucket 😭

Anyway, to help myself calm down before I sleep I decided to think up more "What animal vibes do Zenless Zone Zero characters give off?"

This should also help me for the next time I get artblock (I can't do human fanart... but I can do animals! So maybe?)

Anyway. Everything is under the cut!

Nicole Demara: Nicole would be a chihuahua. Very big, 'I'm better than you' type-of attitude, and.... I think it's just her expression for her on-field opening appearance. She's so goofy! Such a silly!

Koleda Belobog: A lion (female lions can in fact have manes if they have enough testosterone.)

Ben Bigger: A capybara.

Soldier 11: A wolf.

Anby Demara: A wolf that split from her pack to go it alone for a while, before establishing her own with Nicole.

Billy Kid: A bald eagle. Mostly because they pretend to sound much cooler than they are by using sounds that come from red-tailed hawks.

Anton Ivanov: Guinea pig.

Zhu Yuan: A bumblebee. Hardworking when on duty, but stops working when the lights grow dim/when off-duty. Also there's probably a beehind joke or something, but I don't want to make it.

Seth Lowell: Bulldog, or Boston terrier. Morally good with a heart of gold, but makes goofy faces, is impossible to take seriously, and, unlike other, much smarter dogs like the Labrador or Golden Retreiver, is low-matenience and easy to entertain. Very simple lil guy.

Qingyi: An incredibly old Terrible Terror from How To Train Your Dragon. Non-real animal, in which there's an abundance of. I could also argue pidgeon.

Corin Wikes: Groundhog. Prey animal (nervous by nature), and unknowingly does damage with sharp weapons (teeth).

Caesar: Horse. Protects her herd, fast motorcycle, and seems to be a social, reliable leader when off the job.

Burnice: Bruce the bear from the children's book Big Bad Bruce, by Bill Peet. In the Outer-Ring's trailer she burns a lizard for pure amusement. If not this very specific character, she's a cocker spaniel.

Lucy: Pufferfish? Porcupine? Red panda? Idk, but angry and will try to look large, even though she's not much of a threat. Preferably something agile with a short temper, and non-bulky.

Piper: Sloth or koala.

Lighter: Red-tailed hawk.

Belle: Curious, overly playful 3-8-month old black/tortishell kitten. Or a ferret.

Wise: The kind of cat that naps in the sun everyday, acts annoyed with the playful kitten/ferret, but easily gets roped into playing with her.

I hope my presence here hasn't been just me complaining, cause I haven't dedicated myself to art in a while lol I am Burned Out... I don't like being a negative presence

in the Positivistic sense not in the new age sense? you know? not pretending to be happy when things are bad, I want my presence to be pulsating with life even if I'm sad or angry or numb. I try not to fall into negation. Most millennial humor I grew up with is this kinda ironic 'haha I'm so depressed 🤪' thing I just don't vibe with at all. I like feeling all my feelings. If I'm depressed and numb to it all then good, lets explore that. If I'm lost and aimless then good, let's be aimless and see where this can lead me to. I want to feel the full breadth of human experience and not live life negating it. I want to reflect on what I'm doing I want to create new things! Work with the world and not despite it

but unfortunately cause I'm totally lost at sea rn this means my posts are lacking and so the internet "persona" ends up being only someone who complains. That's not where I'm at. I don't even know if this makes sense to other people who can't see my brain, am I even making sense. Anyway

I am experimenting with a lot of things art-wise to get my groove on. I've bean reading a bunch. I've been lifting weights which is turns out is super fun and I should've started ages ago. Like I didn't believe the gym could be fun, I thought people were just faking it but it turns out like. It's just self expression like any other activity. And I love to see number go up. And I love making that face you do when you're lifting heavy weights you know the one? And grunting. It's very freeing to just be able to do that. Like all my life I've been bogged down by thinking the gym is for assholes and that I should try to do the Normal Sports that I honestly fucking hate. I hate ball sports. I don't understand swimming as a sport you're trapped doing laps in that freaking pool it's the most boring sport of all time. Sure I liked thinking about nothing and swimming but laps in a pool?? Devil invention. Running is kinda the same although you can run interesting places and aren't trapped in a blue rectangle. Just do the sport you actually want to do. Go to a fight club idk. Learn to kickbox. Punch some stuff. Do push ups, I love doing push ups.

What else? I've been walking my dog for 2hours every day late in the afternoon and getting to hang with his friends at the dog park. He isn't very friendly but he's also not aggressive so it's mostly chill. He's made a friend named Draco Malfoy (she made sure to tell me it was her kid daughter's idea) and everyone calls my dog Sirius Black cause he's got black fur and is, and this is the technical term, giant. Kind of annoying that Harry Potter is still the main thing people go to to describe him. Except for one security guard who I thought was gonna say he looks like Sirius but then said he looks like Sam from Twilight. This was an awesome day

I've been trying to sew and mend my clothes. I replaced the buckle in my bag cause it was broken and I feel kind of amazing about it.

I've been writing some stuff. All unfinished yet. I want to see if I can finish the short story I've been trying to work on besides the Les Mis scripts. I have trouble finishing things I write, which is a problem that, if AO3 is any indication, is probably the world's most common roadblock in writing.

Went to the satanic themed goth club on good friday, that was so fun. We had a blast. Place was PACKED. All goths have the same sense of humor.

I guess that's it for life stuff. I do feel kinda bad that I can't get myself to make fanart right now. I'm just having thoughts on the nature of art and of fanart and the impact of it on the world as a whole. And particularly thoughts on social media and the internet and what it even *is*. What is it for? We really need to work that out.

Seen some wolfpup!Enid fanart and I'm in love! And soft!Wednesday? I do declare!

. . .

So Wednesday's out late one full moon, looking for leads on the new murder cases but so far its been difficult and more stressful than she'd like. She decides to head back to the dorms for the evening and turn in for the night, or possibly rope Enid into another "friendly" debate about the bloody history between vampires and werewolves

(Last time had seen Enid practically rabid, claws out and fangs bared, as she tried to convince Wednesday that werewolves won the Wilds of Transylvania back in 1389 fair and square. Wednesday had been so amused by her roommates rage, she'd almost cracked a smile.)

With the prospects of another riveting argument awaiting, Wednesday walks into her room and sees... well, not Enid. There's brightly stuffed animals strewn about like bodies in a massacre, Yoko and Divina are in the center of the room looking decidedly frazzled and panting, a body she presumes belongs to Ajax is on the floor and half under Enid's bed, while Bianca lounges on top of it playing with Wednesday's butterfly knife. And Enid is no where to be seen.

At first, Wednesday's incredibly annoyed bcuz, well, people. And worse its people in her room; not that she has any particular qualms when Enid invites her friends over--Enid insists they're Wednesday's friends too, and well, perhaps they are the most tolerable lot she's met at this school--but she would have liked to have been informed of such a social gathering prior to her arrival (so that she could avoid it).

But then her presence is noted by Bianca with a "oh good, you're finally here", which catches Yoko's attention who turns to the door with a exasperated "Wednesday help!" just as Divina wheezes out "close the door! don't let her out!" And Wednesday has all of two seconds to be confused before she hears Ajax give a cry from under the bed as something fast and furry darts out from beneath it. Instinct has her closing the door just in time for the creature to slam headfirst into the wood.

Its a wolf. A rather small one actually. A puppy essentially. With light fur and ears too big for its head and a set of scratches on the left side of its face-

Its Enid. It registers for Wednesday, as the wolfpup shakes its head and looks up at her with big dopey eyes and its tongue lolling out and tail a blur behind her, that this is indeed her roommate.

Wednesday turns to Yoko with a hard glare. "Explain."

And she does: Enid didn't want to spend another full moon without wolfing out again, the others offered to help her out, borrowed Goodie-now-Wednesday's book of spells, tried a transformation spell, and well...

Wednesday has 3 aneurysms during Yoko's explanation, all while the pup-Enid shreds one of her numerous stuffed animals at her feet. She presents the head of one of the bears to Wednesday, looking very proud of herself, and Wednesday kicks it away out of frustration, but it only seems to instigate more play as Enid chases after it.

"We can't change her back so we were hoping you'd know how to..." Divina adds, jumping behind Yoko when Wednesday's attention snaps back to them menacingly. Bianca snickers from Enid's side of the room, not even fazed as Wednesday glares at her as well.

After threatening, scolding, and some more threatening, Wednesday kicks everyone out so that they don't get caught by the new dorm mother and so she can conduct her research in peace. Or semi-peace. If Wednesday thought Enid's antics were obnoxious as a human, as a puppy she's an absolute terror. She's constantly yapping, destroying her plushies, and chewing every shoe she can sink her fangs into. Thankfully, she takes to chasing Thing around the room for a solid ten minutes before she flops to the ground at Wednesday's feet beneath her desk, sound asleep.

Wednesday spends a few hours looking through Goodie's spellbook but to no avail. There is no counterspell to the transformation written within, so she resigns to try the Nightshade library first thing in the morning and if that fails, summon her parents and have them send over anything useful from the Addam's Family Archives.

She gets into bed, hitting the light as she goes, tired to the point that her eyes are already closing as her head hits the pillow-

Only to fly open as Enid starts whining. And when Wednesday flips the light and looks over the side of her bed, Enid's there with floppy ears and a pitiful expression. And Wednesday knows exactly what she's doing, what she wants, and there is no way in hell. She shushes Enid, shoos her to the other side of the room, flips the light again, and rolls back over to get uncomfortable enough to sleep...

And Enid starts whining again. Louder this time. Scratching at Wednesday's bedpost for added measure.

And look, any other time and any other day, Wednesday would have kept up the routine until Enid gave in and curled up somewhere on her side of the room. But Wednesday is stressed, and Wednesday is tired, and Wednesday is willing just. this. once.

So she sighs, rolls over, grabs Enid's scruff and pulls her up. Enid's tail won't stop whacking the bedspread and she won't stop wiggling, even managing to lick Wednesday's chin before Wednesday pushes her to rest by her feet, threatening her death if she dares try it again or so much as moves from her spot. Enid curls up into a small lump with her nose pressed against Wednesday's shin and Wednesday finally reclines back and lets sleep consume her.

She wakes up the next morning oddly warm with something solid pressed against her side. And its only when she opens her eyes does she realizes she's rolled in her sleep and is now curled up on her side with a hand resting in Enid's fur as the wolfpup/roommate snoozes away beside her.

And look, its early, Wednesday is still tired, and Enid is still a nuisance, but as Wednesday's fingers brush through incredibly soft fur and Enid gives a small snuffle in her sleep, Wednesday could almost swear that she smiled.

(Just puppy!Enid antics would be too cute and she'd drive Wednesday up the freaking wall until she could turn her back to normal)
