[thebest-medicine]

I just wanted to type out some feelings here

I really love who I am on here…who I’m allowed to be… I feel like I can be really authentically myself and connect with people about something that I have had such a fear/shame/insistence on hiding in most areas of my life but it’s just like..wow here’s this cool little place that you made for yourself and other people made for themselves and joined together and it’s like. Wow I can MEET the PEOPLE in my little website and they’re REAL and I can TALK to them about this stuff and they GET ME and we have SILLY COMMON CANON EVENTS FROM CHILDHOOD it’s just so fun and crazy and makes me want to cry and hug everyone and ahhhhh!!!!!

i built up so much of my psyche on the idea that my ‘wires’ in my brain got crossed and I was just this weird person who no one else thought like at all (add to kink/fetish that I was figuring out wtf ace/demi was but didn’t even hear of that or anything like it til like college) and then I meet nice cool people on here and then they’re like hey want to meet up and DO THIS FUN THIS with no implications and like ?!?!?!!? And then it’s FUN FOR BOTH OF YOU ?!? is this what vanilla allo people feel like when they have sex all the time??!

anyway I just really appreciate this blog and place and all of you and (not to sound like a middle aged white suburban mother of two doing yoga but) I want to work on honoring this part of myself more in my life and being able to be more comfortable with all of me

It’s wild how shipping culture has changed so drastically over time on the internet.

In the old days people shipped characters who either had only one line of dialogue with each other, never even met, or not even from the same piece of media. It was the wild west and sure some ships were uncomfortable but people had the mindset to just block the tag and stay away from ships they didn’t enjoy.

Nowadays? It’s more like people have to clarify that their ship isn’t canon compliant, character adjacent, and story irrelevant otherwise they get a flood of comments saying “but this character isn’t like this in canon” and some people legitimately get angry if you’re not following the canon.

Like- shipping and fandom culture from what I understand it is about engaging with media in a way that caters to you. And if you don’t like a ship or show just… block the relevant tags and don’t engage in the ships? The internet isn’t supposed to cater to us- we have to cater ourselves to our internet environment. And no matter how many times people may harass others over a fandom or ship they don’t like, those ships are not gonna disappear.

The internet has just been getting worse when people have decided to place morality in their opinions by saying things like “if you enjoy the ship then you support (insert horrible thing here that’s usually completely unrelated to the ship itself)” when it used to be “eh, not my thing” and people just moved on.

And for the record this isn’t about a specific ship or anything- just an observation of how fandom has evolved (and regressed) over the years and I find it fascinating from a sociological perspective cause we still don’t know how having the internet from birth affects the development of kids and how that affects how they interact with others- isn’t that scary?

I know that’s slightly unrelated but the way people engage in media has been changing over they years and that also involves fandom and the maturity level thereof in the internet space and someone smarter than me could probably write a whole thesis paper about fandom culture and how the internet has hindered the social development of people and how that affects community specifically from a fandom lens.

Just- for your sanity younger internet children: it’s not worth harassing others over something as trivial as ‘it’s not canon that this character kisses another character.’ Just find ships you like. Block ships you don’t. And just enjoy your time doing what you like!

You can’t control the internet but you can nurture your little corner of it.

so what if i like. did the exact same thing again. but with someone who isn’t a scumbag cheater avoidant attachment piece of shit.

[cynical-cemeteries]

just had the most unfortunate thought

chapter 15 releases on august 1st. and that’s when raligon’s banner is supposed to be out. and that’s probably also when he dies in the story itself……

[elviraaxen]

listen listen

I know Donna and Albin are end game. But entertain us for a quick non canon second-

✨ polycule✨ can Ricky get to kiss boys and girls too ? Mayhaps? A tad even? Albin has two hands

guys the story has like. barely begun and you’re already shipping?? 😂😂 patience, patience!

It’s probably for the better if I wait to answer shipping related questions until the story has progressed a bit. I mean technically I can’t even discuss non-canon since it’s my story so everything I say is technically canon, if you know what I mean!

me thinking about writing: oh boy 2024! time to expand my horizons and write a multi-chapter fic with a cast of characters and an exciting plot!

me sitting down to write: okay so Korrasami, they’re so in love and they’re going to have sappy tender gay sex about it

No thoughts only paper hearts, coffee dates, underlined phrases, love letters, notes left in books, buying a coffee for a stranger because you felt like it, fairy lights, flowers on your doorstep, slow dancing to an old song, quoting your favourite author randomly, finding an old music box in your grandparents’ attic, getting a picture taken of your genuine smile and not the one you use in photos, backhugs, pink clouds, stargazing and being able to name constellations and see shooting stars, walking through dim-lit streets at night, comfortable silence, falling asleep on someone’s shoulder or lap, communicating through expressions, being clingy but not possessive, listening to someone sing and play the guitar softly, forehead kisses, waking up to breakfast on your nightstand, large sweaters, waking up before sunrise just to witness it, falling asleep on the couch but waking up on the bed…

Commissioners please stand by, my mother decided overnight that she should restrict my ability to post any photos anywhere and now despite artwork being finished, I can’t get the photo to you. This was done on a whim and she will not be convinced to lift the restrictions. I am so so sorry
