The difference isn't "people write fanfiction now and it's fundamentally unserious and unworthy to be Culture." People who break out the smelling salts and head to the fainting couch when they hear "Dante's Divine Comedy was fanfiction" are ignoring the point that cultural production is the same as it ever was: Any foundational cultural myth has hundreds to thousands of different versions that each reflect the experiences of contributors from different times and places. Look at Robin Hood. Look at King Arthur. (I'm picking those because they're the easy ones most Westerners know. What I'm saying is broadly applicable.)
What has changed is that corporations now own the majority of foundational cultural myths and leverage them as capital. That gives them carte blanche to claim that derived works are fundamentally lesser and subject to their authority, a claim most people accept uncritically. "Fanfiction" has always been going on as long as you recognize that "fans" are the folk in folklore. They receive something from a storyteller, they change it, and their versions drastically outnumber the so-called official version. For most of history, the folk have defined the grounding myths that underpin their social consensus. It was very difficult to nearly impossible to point back into history and say "this was the first, canonical version from the real author." In many cases, we still can't figure it out. And it's probable we never will, because narratives weren't (that kind of) capital for most of history.
This is just another way fences are being placed around the commons and we are all being robbed of something intrinsically human, the right to shape and share the collective semiotic space.
#non-pearl#self#text#I'm finally in my new home in Portland#I'll soon be blogging again#but there's somebody else doing this job faster and better than I ever did it#so I no longer worry that Pearl stuff won't be preserved unless I work on it myself ^.^#HOWEVER#I'm soon going to be starting a second blog#which will have me eating very very very very well#for many years to come#watch closely for someone even more controversial#misunderstood#and gay (arguably)#than Pearl#I have discovered no human is worthy of my service#but I can still derive the nutrients I need to grow#from the right kind of fiction

Hermitcraft Postal Service off-roading!! I really love all the vehicles Pearl has been making here recently, so I just had to draw her driving one. I was inspired primarily by the mail van, and made this roofless just for fun.
Full image and closeups below! (Fair warning: the full image has a lot of perspective/motion blur at the edges)
#hermitcraft#hermitblr#pearlescentmoon#ethoslab#tangotek#hermitcraft post office#vehicles are surprisingly fun to draw#I believe in curly-haired Etho supremacy#any excuse to draw Pearl being cooler than anyone else#also happy [insert-middle-aged-dad-age-here]th birthday to Tango#aris paracosm art

We miss you. Come return to us… Why did you abandon us?
Last night at 1am I read all about @wasyago's trail's gone cold au and the brain rot immediately caused me to stay up until 5am starting this art before sleeping and finishing it today. Now I'm a little sick and got a sore throat, I think the cave is getting to me too
#ethoslab#tangotek#pearlescentmoon#trail's gone cold au#jaxdart#this is actually my first time drawing etho... and tango... and pearl#tried giving tango and pearl different gestures with meaning#tango is reaching out towards etho because he was left behind#while pearl is holding her hand open in invitation to come join them#pearl is also a little lower because she died after tango so she's a bit behind#i can't remember the last time i finished an artwork in less than 24 hours#or finished one at all tbh#both of them are in may i think#sculk colors are so nice btw made for the perfect color palette

let sleeping dogs lie / let loyal dogs die
#life series#pearlescentmoon#bdoubleo100#bdubs fanart#pearlescentmoon fanart#secret life#trafficblr#i think it's interesting how horse boy bdubs is more (symbolically) like a dog than wolf girl pearl does and vice versa#like bdubs who is devoutly loyal to his pack and will put his life on the line for them and sacrifice everything for his friends#and pearl who is calm and elegant at first but fiercely independent and dangerous if she ever feels betrayed#i just think its neat.#strbylmn art#JUST WATCHED EPISODE 8. WHAT DID I SAY. WHAT DID I SAY.

your pearl is one of my favorite designs for her i’ve ever seen <3 her face shape feels so right, and i love how you draw her hair. by way of a request, have you ever drawn her as an avian?
thank you so much! pearl's design is definitely my favorite to draw :')
ive done a bit of practice with pearl and grian as avians but that was way before i started posting hc publicly! ( these ones are new :D )
also played around with an alternate version! i dont know much about birds but i saw the australian barn owl and took more inspo from them
#pearlescentmoon#i also drew pearl with her head tilted all the way like how owls do but it ended up a bit freakier than i expected heh#me barely dipping my toes into more crechur designs... im too scared to try#eydireqs#asks#hc#my art#pearl was THE first hermit i ever drew (cleaning lady pearl and suit pearl)#she's always looked like this to me in my head#although in my earlier sketches she had curlier hair in the front that slowly phased out to the swoopy ones she has now#anyway this was really fun to do!!! i definitely need to do more studies on how wings work but :DD#learning many a things over here

#i might try making more of the carts bc theyre really cool and the tree on the greenhouse car has been tempting me its soooo pretty#i really liked the animals in this one so thats why i made this train cart specifically#believe it or not this was about 100 more pieces than the pearl build#maybe its bc its more compact? idk i did this one hoping it would be smaller lmaoo#hermitcraft season 10#hermitcraft fanart#hermitcraft smp#hermitcraft#goodtimeswithscar#goodtimewithscar fanart#which is crazy to me bc it feels small
