#writer and artist asks

[awritingcaitlin]

24. Do you have/want a career in your medium? If not, what do you do/want to do instead?

I mean, I write for freelance, but that's not what I want. What I want is to make money off the books I want to write. But also *gestures at the trash fire that the publishing industry tends to be*

Writer and Artist Asks!

What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

Every woman's love language is not having to ask. If I have to ask, I'd rather do it myself.

The Ryoko Kui interview's reception is such a disaster over a pretty normal (yet still flawed) interview between a non-Japanese fan and Japanese artistic. This is discourse for discourse's sake, and it's no surprise that almost every Twitter user I've looked at who's using this interview to parade Kui around as a goated mangaka standing strong against Western ideology is anti-trans.

Like, I do think the interview was kinda wonky with its focus on fandom culture, which Kui clearly didn't have much interest in. But sometimes that happens. Sometimes interactions between two people, especially a fan and a creator, two people who view and interact with a piece of media in completely opposite perspectives, don't click. Does this really need to get blown up into a "West vs. East culture war" issue.

Anyways, Kui saying "I don't consider my audience's interpretations when writing. I leave it to their imaginations, but I have my own read on things too" is the healthiest, most normal thing an artist/writer who wants a non-parasocial audience could say. Artists and writers use this line all the time. If Kui didn't enjoy autistic Laius or Farcille headcanons, she would have probably voiced/signalled her discomfort, like she did on the topic of Senshi fanservice. Overall, Kui handled the interview really well. Props to her to sticking to her guns and keeping a healthy disconnect from the fandom. While I think the interviewer could've/should've been more tactful and restrained, the flaws in their questions is not a symptom of the woke mind virus trying to wriggle its way into the pure Japanese psyche. It's the sign of an over-eager fan who sees a piece of fiction differently than its creator.

How would Oliver react if I picked him up upside down without giving a reason?

"—!!"

"This is unnecessary, not to mention more tedious on your part. Unhand me."

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

Hey, lovelies! We're more than halfway through October and I've seen a few posts and comments from disheartened creators regarding engagement and interaction. As a fellow creator, it breaks my heart. Writers, artists, gif makers, graphic designers, and more treat us all year round with goodies. So why don't we give some treats back?

Throughout the rest of October (and hopefully beyond), I encourage you to show creators some love and appreciation! You may ask, "How, Miss Navy?" Just look between the candy corn dividers, made by the talented @saradika-graphics , and select a treat to send to any creator on this site. All treats, no tricks!

🍫 - Send a compliment to one of your favorite creators. 🍬 - Make a post showering creators with love and tag them. 🍭 - Ask a creator about one of their favorite creations. 💝 - Reblog a fic/gif set/graphics/work of art. Extra treat if you reblog with a comment! 🎁 - Encourage a creator to rec some of their favorite creators. 👻 - Tell a creator a fic, line, image, anything they've created that has stuck with you. 🎃 - Ask a creator about a current project or WIP.

Love and thanks in advance, lovelies! Enjoy the treats! ❤️

Hi there! That is so lovely to hear!

I'm not really drawing anything myself so I'm not sure exactly what kind of prompts that could be in particular. But I do have my monthly prompts which you probably already know that I intended for writing and doodling.

3. Biggest self-insert OC?

I mean, it's kind of Rinnie because I RPed her in the Pathfinder game. But it's also Kat because when I was 8 she was everything I wanted to be - someone with magic who was popular enough in school and brave enough to stand up to the bullies.

But also Rinnie helped me figure out my own sexuality.

So it's like... both of them, really.

Thanks for asking!

Oh my god.......

[dustykneed]

god mcspirk is so terrific. i love when jim and spock scheme together (ok jim schemes but he ropes spock into it too and spock just can't say no to his captain) to fluster bones.

sometimes jim just wants to see his boyfriends make out with tongue... is that too much to ask?

Fandom Problem #6101:

I don't know why people can't take the idea of "even if someone is horrible, you shouldn't make fun of them for things they can't control like their looks or weight, because you're indirectly also insulting people who happen to share those traits and are NOT bad people" and also see how that applies to other things like talents -- talking about how much their art or writing or acting or music or whatever sucks, when none of those have anything to do with whatever bad things they may have said or done. Stop automatically linking talent with morality.
