#sometimes this fandom makes me laugh

[polin-erospsyche]

I just love it when Luke and Nic reacts to the show. They are so invested it’s like they’ve never seen it and they’re not the actors playing in it 😂

But also this clip of their reaction has me laughing when they mentioned they had to reshoot the scene

And thank god they did. Otherwise the fandom wouldn’t only be on fire right now. There would be a freakin riot and a takedown of Netflix headquarters

drawing your favorite guys being silly is very effective at keeping The Horrors at bay

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain “well beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.V” and an “orange haired inkling-turned-human” has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! It’s so much more then what I expected or even prepared for—might even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3

…aside from graduating high school + the social connections I’ve been fortunate to make lol

BUT THE POINT IS I’d been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. It’s make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! It’s kept my ambitions going!

I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks—because I can’t NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same time…it’s hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesn’t immediately make me any “better” or “worse” then I was before. I’m still just me! It only helps me feel seen by others—and that’s all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.

Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. He’s so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Can’t wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)

Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which “animated video” I’m referring to here—hopefully this photo will help clarify lol. It’s this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!

I’ve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering it’s not even fully colored and could be dismissed as “low effort” content (despite taking several days making it). It’s easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. I’ve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didn’t? Sometimes you feel like you’ve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However I’ve realized that I can’t ever expect views to be consistent—and comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean it’s pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. “Popular” YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artists…to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when it’s the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So that’s what I’ve chosen to do :)

I love listening to mlp reviews in the bg while I work on stuff but sometimes I’ll hear the dumbest stuff imaginable and have to perk my head up like a confused dog. ‘Why did Luna create the tantabus. Is she stupid’ my brother in equestria it’s an allegory for self harm.

[thepileofclothesonyourdesk]

non queer girls are like: Of course im an ally! I love fetishizing gay men!!

[agnisleftpec]

the fun thing about being a nonshipper who's forcibly desensitized themself to romance so they can actually survive in fandom spaces is i am truly free. nothing can stop me. evryone is dating everyone and no one at once. and i get so much gorgeous art and fanfic

Friend forcing me to watch as he rearranges his bookshelf in Skyrim: Why do you hate literature so much? Is being a bookseller that traumatic?

Me using my past trauma as a joke: Nah... I'm just jealous that these authors wrote these stories better than me.

Alternative universe Poland (doesn't know what GDL is)

It makes me sad that my boy Samogitia is always erased from GDL and then Commonwealth. Samogitia not so willingly merged with Lietuva because of Teutons and politics, yk, he was a power strong enough for Lithuania adding him to the official GDL name. Samogitian bear was borrowed by Commonwealth and became the Polish bear, and then Polish bear was stolen by communists and became the russian bear. If people sometimes try to add Ukraine and Belarus to Commonwealth at least as maids (still bruh🙄🙄🙄) then Samogitia is just absent, like it never existed.

Of course, little destiel shipper who wasn't even born when x-files premiered, msr won that poll because wincesties were voting out spite. Whatever helps you sleep at night, kid.

[watermelonsloth]

I was scrolling through shipping confessions and there sure are a lot of people who don’t know how shipping works throwing around “fetishizing gay men/people”. The Naruto fandom really likes to throw around very serious and very baseless accusations, huh?

[bataranqs]

gonna write a fic in a tiny and dead fandom as rent-control shots

[whoredmode]

#yeah her popularity took me by surprise #she's just incredibly Convenient to the men around her #wild but not in a defiant way #so totally into her incest marriage she is making sure everyone has the details on her sex life #saucy 'as a barmaid' but entirely devoted to only one guy from toddlerhood #twenty sons - no girls allowed #and then she dies young enough not to develop any inconvenient flaws that come with age and maturity (via @agentrouka-blog)

#I swear people get so obsessed with these barely fleshed out f&b characters bc they're essentially OCs they can project whatever onto #oh how dare they not give your favorite OC her special heterochromia in a scene where she's literally part of a nightmare and not real (via @willowrosenberg1997)

#if i have to read one more post about how hotd ruined her... #she's a bullshit character that screams written by a man #sorry not sorry (via @caffeinosis)

fire and blood was not good enough for people to be riding alyssa targaryen’s dick like this

[peanutbutterandbananasandwichs]

LOL sure thing man

[travalerray]

fanfic writing is always like:

questionable characterisation (not really familiar yet) => oh this is actually good => questionable characterisation (projecting)
