#yaelokre fandom where are you

[mof-rot]

Drew myself as a tv head because they’re so cute and for what

[salemontrial]

Getting panicked about yaelokres new song being called my farewells to the field what do you mean farewells you havent released hearken. Get back here. That better be a narrative farewell.

[theliterarywolf]

Uhh… context for that?

Anonymous asked: Feel free not to answer if it'll kick a hornets nest but which indy dev is doing that?

So last year an artist by the name of Keath Ósk launched a musical/narrative indie project called Yaelokre: centering around a group of fictional minstrels known as "The Lark".

Kind of trying to do what bands like The Gorillaz do but more whimsical and fantasy-core.

The project became hyper-popular online when people discovered their song "Harpy Hare"

Which prompted animatics, OC tributes, fanart, fanfiction -- the whole kit and kaboodle.

Hell, even I was considering making promo material for Speak Not to the Gilded Dragons using the song.

The first bit of wank I actually encountered with the fandom was people on sites like TikTok and Instagram vocally admitting 'oh yeah, I don't even like Yaelokre; I'm just making content for it to game the algorithm' which causes some spats that I was just watching like a nosy neighbor peeking through their curtains.

However, a few days ago, the artist behind the project made a tweet where they introduced a Google form for fans to fill out if they encounter any smut content online relating to their project or their characters so that they can go and DMCA the content in question.

They did also mention that it could also be used in case anyone was selling merch of the project without official permission, but the prior point is what the most weight seemed to be focused on.

And, look: as a creator you are MORE than in your right to tell people 'hey, I don't feel comfortable seeing NSFW content of my IP; please keep it away from me'. That's something that I wish both fans and creators would realize.

However, it's the whole making a whole-ass Google form for people to Narc to... As well as the fact that a large portion of the Yaelokre fanbase are minors... That had some people going '...Hah?'

(Especially that latter point because it's almost like you're encouraging minors to engage with NSFW material for the sake of reporting back to you, and that's... No good.)

[hey-u-weird]

I will say it once more

Yaelokre being uncomfortable with nsfw made of their characters is not the issue here

Yaelokre saying “hey don’t make nsfw of my characters” is not the issue here

what the issue here is was Yaelokre saying “report this to me (if you see it)”, asking other people (mostly minors) to do that for them, staying silent when their fans started sending graphic threats to other artists and threatening to misuse DMCA takedown strikes as a way to control the fandom and what people make

Again, you are allowed to feel uncomfortable with anything, you don’t even need to have a reason

but everyone acts like we’re living in a perfect and ideal world where everyone respects each other’s feelings and boundaries.

The reality is that fandoms and this world aren’t ideal, and you can’t control what other people think, feel about or how they are going to interpret your work

You will be told instead that the sexualization of your work WILL happen regardless of your feelings and to be prepared for it

NO ONE said you have to accept or be comfortable with that

[proshippers-against-censorship]

yaelokre's stance about "this is me and my children" does exactly nothing to me, because I was around when Diana Gabaldon (of Outlander fame) said that fanfic was like reading a letter about her daughter fucking her 50yo neighbor. This "these are my children or based off aspects of me so it's gross to write porn of them" is not new rhetoric, and it was already dumb a decade ago. The magic of art is that you can create whole worlds in other people's minds. But once you put that world in the other person's mind, you lose the totality of control bc you literally are trying to stop thought crime.

it's perfectly reasonable to not want to see it (and threatening to send it to them or write rpf or w/ev is shitty af) but the response should be to tell your audience "stop sending me this stuff, it's gross and makes me feel gross" not "send it to me more so my team can get rid of it". Why are we accepting this fucking snitch culture?! Why scold artists for making sexy artwork instead of the people intentionally showing it to the original performer in order to make the artist uncomfortable enough to try and get rid of it?

Also, it really says something about the culture of fandom that writing music where your "children" sing about dead babies is fine, but consensual sex between characters who don't even have faces, much less real ages is B A D

This. This. This. This.

Summed up the spite everyone has with Yaelokre nice and well here.

I encourage everybody upset that people are protesting the situation to read this.

꧁𓊈𒆜CLEMENTINE & COLE ROMANTIC HEADCANONS 𒆜𓊉꧂

Clémmie would braid Cole's hair and no matter how tight or how long Cole's hair has been braided, it just doesn't curl which Clémmie finds it fascinating.

Clémmie would build flower crowns for Cole, sometimes flower crowns aren't enough so Clémmie would fill Cole's hair with flowers, Cole nonetheless, likes the feeling of Clémmie's hands wandering on their head.

Cole has tons of short poems and songs for Clémmie and when they have the time for themselves, Cole will serenade Clémmie while they're both sitting under the tree leaning at each others touch.

Clémmie likes to tease Cole but not to the point they give Cole a heart attack, for example, Clémmie would sneak behind Cole and covers their eyes saying "Guess who?" with an obvious giggle as Cole would grab Clémmie's hand and kiss them while turning around saying "It's you, Clémmie"

When they are in a crowded street, Cole would obviously have a social anxiety as they fidget their fingers for coping mechanism, Clémmie knows about this and will hold their hand as they walk out of the crowded street.

I couldn't help but imagine that one image of Ponyo and Sosuke where Ponyo floats as she kisses Sosuke mid air. Clémmie as Ponyo and Cole as Sosuke!

Cole loves Clémmie's curly locks, everytime Cole gets to touch Clémmies hair there's that feeling where Cole gets sudden burst of seratonin and it became a habit, every time Clémmie would lay down on Cole's lap, Cole would run their fingers on Clémmie's hair.

Clémmie would buy new ukelele for Cole while Cole would buy new clothes for Clémmie!

A/N: I've been in the Yaelokre fandom for 2 months now and I couldn't help but write these two lovebirds headcanons! I love them as much as Keath loves them <33

[threebooksoneplot]

Wait can authors really not read fics of their own work in case they get sued for stealing ideas?? That seems so wild to me I’d wanna publish and then read like coffee shop AUs of my weird fantasy stuff or whatever. U hear about the authors that don’t like fanfic of their works but not the ones that like them and can’t read them!!

I assume it's usually a policy enforced by publishers/agents, the people who have to worry about the business/legal side of things, and that it mostly applies to ongoing series/canons. But yes, it's a thing! various authors have discussed it before (here is where I would usually link an example but the best and most concise example I know of is from neil gaiman, so I shall not do that.) As far as authors who love fic and can't read it go, I know that's definitely true of Tamsyn Muir and would wager it's true of many other authors who got their start in fandom/fic spaces (your Noviks, your Rees Brennans, etc.)

personally I think it's also just kinda... a good idea for authors not to get involved in, at the very least, the transformative side of their fandoms. we've seen this pattern play out and disaster ensue time and time again. hell, we're seeing it right now with Yaelokre (tl;dr: creator who got really upset that people are writing smut of their characters, causing a streisand effect in which people wrote a bunch more smut out of spite). For older examples, fanlore's got you covered. (seriously, the more fandom history I learn, the more this "don't read fic of your shit" policy makes sense.)

[spitsonyou1]

augh I'm covered in mosquito bites from camping but I need to infodump about a song i really like and a concept I really like

You know what I keep thinking of? The "Harpy Hare" song (By Yaelokre) I keep hearing. Now of course I have to connect this to the character I'm fixating on, aka Alabaster + the mistreatment of unnamed TA demigods.

I know this song is tied to a different storyline and fandom, but I can't help but think of how the lyrics could fit and I love the concept.

"Harpy hare, where have you buried all your children, tell me so I say" Specifically I want to think of how the gods have lost so many children but only see them as expendable, although they are kids. Children burying children (Unless the bodies were never found, or the child was not honored, thus why the remaining would ask where they have been "buried"). Or I want to take it in a less literal sense, as in how the minor AND major gods have "buried" their children in the Hermes cabin, because of never being claimed or never having cabins. I also like to think about how most of the children in the titan army were mostly killed off after the war, and then never honored.

"You can't keep them all caged, they will fight and run away, mother tell me so I say" I think again about how the children in the titan army were most likely never meant to be there, and how most never came back alive. And still, a lot might've not even known their godly parent. "You can't keep them all caged" In reference to how they feel the need to rebel because of the need of recognition. "They will fight and run away" run away meaning how after they die, they leave no trace and most likely go to the fields of asphodel to be forgotten. And again if we swap it to a literal sense of how most of them were runaways/rouges

"She can't keep them all safe, they will die and be afraid, mother tell me so I say" This is where I'm targeting Alabaster. Most of Hecates children had died, and he most likely felt guilt for not being able to keep them safe and dying. Only a handful lived, and then Alabaster was exiled. And then in the Son of Magic when Alabaster is being hunted by Lamia, the reason why Hecate couldn't let Lamia kill Al or Lamia die is because most of her children had already died at the hands of the Olympians, then again taking the "She can't keep them all safe".

I don't exactly know about what happened to a lot of the demigods after the war, this is what I've assumed and just been hyperfixating on so tell me if something is incorrect. anyways you get a cookie if you actually read til the end of this

[amethystsoda]

re the chappell roan posts—we knew from other concerts that the sudden peak of stardom after coachella 2024 was overwhelming

(and understandably so!!!! with how viral tiktok is, you can rocket from unknown to popular literally overnight.

See artists like Mitski and Yaelokre gaining audiences very quickly they wouldn’t have usually attracted via popular audios and getting a disrespectful crowd at concerts or a fandom that turns toxic in only a week)

Last month we had myemodiaries already talking about how chappell had stalkers etc and needed space from the spotlight

Now, 4 days ago (Aug 19th), Chappell got on tiktok to post 2 videos talking about stardom, boundaries, and stalkers (I stitched the two videos together here)

She’s at 3.2 million followers right now. The videos (on today August 23rd) have 12 million and 11 million views.

I hope Chappell Roan gets the space she needs, the respect she deserves as a human and an artist, and that people re-learn about parasocial relationships.

The proper place to meet your favorite music artist is at a CONCERT where they’re there to perform. Not stalking them to “show your devotion” or something creepy 😵‍💫

[zephyrusz]

woah. woah. oc alert.. wow. allow me, zephyr. to go on a massive rant about my beloved stinky little baba ever. proceed.

harper windrix :3

allow me to introduce them to all of you willing participants. very willing, by the way.

i honestly domt know when harper first conjured up in my noggin, i know it was sometime in middle school so at least three years now? not too sure but the earliest memory i have of them is sitting in my 8th grade english class reading the outsiders for the fifth time, and thinking of the church in windrixville. i dunno what came over me but i ran home and immediately dropped the ville part of it and slapped it on harper for their last name. yes it is quite embarrassing but it fits kinda well??

im gonna keep this as short as possible.

harper, by themselves, is sort of an extension of my own self. i was very shy and insecure in middle school, so i eventually formed up harper and wrote them into little oc+canon type scenarios where they interact with my comfort characters and get the comfort i honestly needed back then. this led to a 100k+ word document compiling every single hurt/comfort scenario i put them through from middle school up until now (which nobody could torture the information in that doc out of me btw). yes, it was cringy, but to be cringe is to be free. and i flapped my wings of freedom out of the hellhole that was 8th grade, and onto better things.

i love harper with all my heart. they truly are just me, if i was cooler. everything theyve been through ive been through myself, but it felt good for me to write them getting the comfort i needed back then. and to this day i still write new stories and reread the old ones to get back that sense of comfort. they are truly my sweetest pie in the world of ocs i have.

I DONT EXPECT ANYONE TO ACTUALLY READ ALL THAT YAP BUT HERES SOME COOLER STUFF :3

Summary: Freddy didn't go bowling during the day anymore. Everyone knew that.

AN: Freddy is autistic

Title is from Neath the grove is a heart by Yaelokre

Written for Auctober Day 19: Comfort Items

Read on AO3

Freddy didn't go bowling during the day anymore. Everyone knew that.

Only when the doors to the Pizzaplex shut for the night did he venture up to Bonnie Bowl, a morose expression on his face.

There was a time that the guests would regularly encounter Freddy and Bonnie bowling side by side, lighthearted competitive jabs exchanged as the pins fell and numbers on the scoreboard ticked up. Bonnie was always in the lead, obviously. But Freddy had been slowly climbing the ranks and catching up until he was in a steady third place, just behind a particularly dedicated guest.

He never did get to beat Bonnie. His scores had been wiped from the leaderboard after he disappeared. The thought made Freddy's chest ache.

Fazbear Entertainment had done everything in their power to make all evidence of Bonnie disappear. Freddy knew it was only a matter of time before Bonnie Bowl was rethemed and all the kids who remembered Bonnie would grow up and they'd stop asking where he went.

But Freddy wouldn't. He'd never forget if he had anything to do about it.

The doors to Bonnie Bowl slid open and Freddy made a beeline straight for the alleys. There was a time where Bonnie would have been waiting for him on the little stage. He would've hopped down from the platform, floppy ears twitching and a wide grin on his face. Not anymore. Never again.

Now, the room was dark and there was no Bonnie in sight. Just Freddy. Alone. He'd never known a world without Bonnie before this.

You and me, forever and ever.

He stopped dead in his tracks and clutched the bowling ball in his hands tighter. Freddy wasn't supposed to have it but he'd managed to grab it before the staff cleared out Bonnie's stuff. Because he knew they would.

Freddy turned it over in his hands, eyes landing on the signature scrawled across it. Bonnie's name stared back at him, the i dotted with a star and the tail of the e swooping upwards.

He diverted his course to the stage. Pulling the curtain aside, he stepped through into the room hidden behind. The place would be gutted as soon as another use was found for it. Until that point, Freddy swore to visit as much as possible.

His green room should have fallen into anarchy without Bonnie there to maintain it, but Freddy had taken up that responsibility. At first, it was because he wanted the room to tidy for when Bonnie returned. Eventually though, it was just for the sake of routine and feeling close to Bonnie.

Freddy slumped down into the chair by Bonnie's mirror. The vanity had a light coating of dust and the little statue of Freddy hadn't been moved so much as a millimetre. Everytime Freddy visited Bonnie, it was always in a different place. It was like a game. One they'd never play again.

Freddy hugged the bowling ball to his chest. None of this would make him stop missing Bonnie, but it made the hole in his heart ache a little less. A little.

"I miss you, bunny."

You and me, forever and ever

Forever had turned out to be a very short time.

[yourdeepestfathoms]

So, uh… sorry if this is kind of a stupid ask, but I’ve been trying to get into Yaelokre as of late after listening to the songs, and I’m not quite sure how to begin? The only thing I can find are the songs on Spotify and YouTube and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to interpret them? The fandom’s headcanons are really fun to read but I don’t understand where everyone’s getting the stuff about the characters’ backstories/the lore from… would you happen to be able to direct me to a link to a lore post or provide an explanation if you’re able? /nf

it’s not stupid at all!

i got most of my info from this TikTok, where someone has listed everything they’ve found on a Google doc!

i know you can also find more info on Yaelokre’s socials, but i don’t really go scavenging for it! i also know there’s a Discord, but i am not on it.

[dollopheadedmerlin]

Wtf happened to Yaelokre??

So confuses by the state of Fandom right now. I know some people think creators should never be involved in Fandom and, whilst I do NOT hold that stance myself, I sometimes see where they're coming from with stuff like this.

Like I get the creator venting and complaining that people are making rules around their work and misinterpreting the story and spreading misinformation, but also like??? That's just kind of something that happens? Instead of seeing people calling the Harkers gods as misinformation, see it as a headcanon or a theory! Like, it can be disproven later on when more details come out, but I don't see how confirming they're not gods in a vent post was preferable to just casually explaining what they are in a lore post or in lyrics.

Then there is the cricket system?? I never saw any of this but it sounds to me like it was similar to the dabloons meme on tik tok a while back. I do not see how anyone could find anything wrong with this? Is it not just some light rp and a sly reference to the story? Idk maybe I'm missing something or people were spamming it but it just seems like a bizarre thing to be upset about.

But this honestly isn't about the creator, it's about how weird the fan base is. They like are trying to follow the "rules" of the Fandom, when the whole point of Fandom is that there are no rules.

Like yeah, are there corners of Fandom you may dislike or disagree with? For sure. There's stuff in Fandom that I'm honestly like morally opposed to, and I'll vent about it on occasion or block people or talk about why I think it SHOULDN'T be done. But I can never tell someone what they're ALLOWED to do with fiction.

I fell like people are just riding the high of being in the early stages of a fan base that has a very direct communication method and influence with the creator, so they're policing it. Trying to perfect their understanding of an unfinished story and "explain the lore".

I don't want the lore explained to me, I just wanna listen to some tunes and look at pretty art (also low-key getting fashion inspo from those characters haha). Do people not know how to enjoy things without it being a competition anymore?

[proshippers-against-censorship]

An indie creator on Twitter made a document where you are to send NSFW fan work of their characters so they can DMCA them. They're also apparently against "misinformation" about the characters and trying to DMCA that, too. The characters are minors and are voiced by them, so they are uncomfortable. The document was made for this boundary.

Antis are arguing this is okay because "it's their boundary", "how hard is it to respect someone's boundary", and "I thought you guys were anti harassment"

But my biggest problem right now with it is that their fandom is mainly minors. They are asking REAL MINORS to look for nsfw of their fictional minors to report it to them. But I don't see antis talking about that, and when it is brought up, it is met with "but the creators boundaries, you're gross for breaking them".

There is probably more that I don't know about as I only heard about this last night.

Yaelokre?

Reblogged something about that earlier today.
