" if you want me to be a bully... THEN I'LL BE A BULLY! "

hi yeah so uh. surprise!! i have an omori bteam au. uh omori spoilers under the read more where i explain the character roles and other stuff abt the au so like if you wanna check out omori this is where you stop reading, i will not be holding back on the details

so this au was made because i realized omori and the new kid have similar plots so i was like yeah fuck it uhhh. character reasonings and other stuff are shown below

devon - sunny / omori : devon's the main reason kelsey died in new kid, sunny kicked off what spiraled into mari's death in omori. idk what the accident here is but it sure did happen and devon sure did close himself off from everyone!! uh he doesn't go full hikikomori like sunny does but he stops being active in his friends' lives and lives off in his own little world

mick - basil : was compliant in keeping quiet about the death. granted, mick didn't really do anything physically to aid devon in covering up the accidental murder, but he did keep quiet about it, and was clearly affected by it, much like basil is in omori. also basil and sunny are best friends, and mick and devon are best friends.

kelsey - mari : the victim of an accident. again, i'm not sure what the accident in the au is but it was, in fact, that, much like it is in new kid. kelsey is a bit more malicious towards devon?? actively getting him into trouble in the dream world and such. also in the real world kelsey is referred to as adam by pretty much everyone, aka the hc alive name me and my friend have for them.

millie - aubrey : a bit shakier on the parallel thing but there's a few. namely abandonment issues, millie has those before anything happens, and they get way worse after kelsey / adam dies, kinda like aubrey. she still has sarah though, at least. but yeah millie gets really pissed at devon and alec leading to the fight shown above.

alec - kel : alright this is where it goes from " actual parallels to the character " to " i am making this up as i go <33 " uhhh. really the only thing i can point to is the family structure ( since i hc julius to be alec's older brother, alec has the same family structure as kel : an older brother, and a younger sister ) and the favoritism from his parents. but yeah alec is the one to get devon back out of his house

julius - hero : prettyboy /j

in all seriousness though, this is mostly just because he's alec's older brother, and something something hero is kel's. though i can see julius charming enemies in the dream world. he's a lot nicer here than he is in canon though but that's probably because this has the same timeskip omori does, being 4 years, so he's matured quite a bit.

speaking of which yeah uh. 4 year timeskip is here so everyone is in their late teens ( devon is 18, millie, mick and alec are 19 ) except julius, who's 20. everyone in the dream world is closer to their usual looks while in the real world they're all a bit different ( at least fashion-wise. though alec DID finally fix his bangs. )

and that's about it :]

[kebbybites]

i'm 4 days late for sonic.exe day but i don't give a fuck

i care not for creepypastas, much less sonic.exe and all the other variants of it, but MAN the songs made for them are AWESOME

anyway here's a remix of confronting yourself i made in beepbox! (i know i got the chord progression wrong and it makes me cry)

oh and album art up close :3

[nemmet]

Can I request a doodle?

I want you to draw something that makes you very happy :)

i’m so, so sorry that it took me so long to get around to this ask! this is such a lovely and thoughtful thing to submit, i truly appreciate it. :,D

i found that i couldn’t just choose one thing that makes me very happy, so i drew multiple!!! it’s a little silly and mushy, but i still hope you enjoy it. 💕

if the entire AVA and AVM series is canonically in youtube for anyone to see and The Chosen One were to see the first ever AVA video and witness Alan killing Victim before Chosen had even been created would that be fucked up or what

“HE TOLD YOU HE DIDN’T YOU IN HIS LIFE? WHAT?” Peter looked at you wide-eyed and Mayday raised her eyebrows even though she has no idea what was going on. But her dad sounding shocked was enough to get a surprised reaction from her.

“Sort of…” you whispered. You kept looking at the sun’s glare, as if it had the solution to your crumbling “love life”.

“What do you think we were, Peter? What is your perspective? Why was Miguel your first thought?” You remarked. You felt your voice slightly crack from your questions thrown at Peter.

You also felt a little irrational.

You were angry too.

Not at Peter of course, but of how pathetic you think you look right now.

A slew of emotions piled onto you suddenly, all negative.

“Y/n…Aren’t you guys best friends?” His answer shocked you when it shouldn’t.

If you said yes, you wouldn’t be lying because that’s how your relationship looked like. But it’s not how it felt. It felt like something more.

“You could say that,” You said, glancing at the hyper cars from below.

───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───

“Thank you…”

Miguel looked startled as he turned in your direction below. “For what?”

“Saving me. My thigh feels better and thank you for uh, saving me,” You yelled, smiling awkwardly. Hopefully he couldn’t tell how nervous you were from up there.

Miguel leaned his head to behind you, “What do you have there ?”

“Oh, fuck right! Uh, these are for you,” You swung up and held out a plastic white bag, plastered with “THANK YOU”s and “GRACIAS”s.

You felt so stupid.

You sounded so stupid.

He probably thought you were stupid too.

“I- uh…got you some empanadas. I know you like them from Doña Rosa’s restaurant, so…here.” Miguel’s eyebrows were raised and he chuckled. “You didn’t have to, Y/l/n.”

Stuttering? Really?

You blushed and felt nervous. He’s your best friend?? Why are you feeling this way??

You retracted your arm with the bag before Miguel grabbed your arm and sucked his teeth. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t take them now, Y/n.”

Your face felt like it was on fucking FIRE.

“Gracias hermosa,” He said smiling and snatching the bag quickly.

He said it in a teasing way, which lead you even more confused as to what the hell it meant translated.

You tilted your head in confusion, “What does that mean?”

What if he said he didn’t like them?

WHAT IF HE THOUGHT YOU SOUNDED LIKE AN IDIOT?!

He turned around and shrugged. “Means ‘thanks bud’. So thanks, bud.”

His nonchalant tone made you bite the inside of your cheek as you frowned at him, who was already opening up the bag of empanadas and munching on a fig one.

“Yeah, you’re welcome, bud.”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

“I just need time to breathe and take a minute, Peter. It’s not every day one of your best friends just tells you ‘Oh! You’re dead to me, you bastard, I hate you, I want you gone from my life!’ That just doesn’t happen,” you said, feeling an immense wave of sorrow hitting you, replacing the anger that was just there.

Peter, in his 38 years of living never ever thought he would be in this situation; giving relationship advice to his 27-year-old colleague.

“Have you tried talking to him about it?” That was the first thing to mind. As you can tell, he isn’t really good at this.

“Well yeah-“

“How did it go?”

You glared are him and your tone turned sarcastic, “How does it look like it went?”

The sky’s sunset looked beautiful. It had an array of warm and gorgeous reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows, with a hint of violet.

“Well, he blocked my number! He unfollowed me on his super duper secret Instagram-”

“Wait what? Miguel has Instagram? He’s such a…”

You laughed a bit, “…Deadkill? Why? Is it because he has the humor of an 80-year-old man? He’s not that boring, Peter. He has social media.”

“Y/n. The man says ‘Oh shock!’ Like man, just say oh shi-” Peter stopped and looked at Mayday, who was already looking up at him and was smiling cutely.

“I mean ‘oh shiitake mushrooms’…”

You rolled your eyes and laughed, “Well he cut off all communication from me! The bastard even blocked me on SPOTIFY. He deleted our shared playlist-”

“Woah. WOAH! Shared playlist? Me n MJ do that!” he gushed.

You nodded, “And he was the one who added the majority of the songs. Pinche puto.”

“Yeah, yeah. Um Y/n, hey I don’t know. Talk to him?” He said, giving you a sassy tone with his hands on his hips. ”Peter, you’re setting me up for failure…”

“It would be, you know, more real if you just talked it over. I’m not sure about the whole picture as to what happened between you two but Miguel has always been so…depressing and you really did brighten up his life to some extent.”

“Right-”

“Hey, before you start being all mopey, just talk it out. I know Miguel just wouldn’t be irrational because he’s just a very level-minded person.”

If only he was…

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

“You didn’t want to laugh. But the more he dramatically moved his hips, the less control you had until you busted out cackling.

You caught him dancing to Bachata while he was washing dishes in his apartment.

Why were you in his apartment? You came unannounced to hang out, thinking he wouldn’t really care, until you walked into him dancing to his bachata playlist.

“You should definitely teach me. I see you listening to this all the time,” you said, giggling.

He jumped and turned around, giving you a scowl. “Ay dios, what are you doing here?”

You walked infront of him and put your finger against his lips, “Shh. You should definitely teach me how to dance this.”

He stopped and gazed at you for a few seconds before he went over which led you to twirling around and him having his hands resting at your hips as he helped you sway them.

You were going to probably scream into your pillow once you got home and cry since you’ve been going at this for 30 minutes.

You felt kind of bad feeling that way about your best friend, but holy-

The current song stopped and you felt his breath against your ear as he whispered, “I can hear your heart beating fast. Are you alright?”

HOLY SHOCK?

“I-“

Before you said anything, he interrupted you just studying your facial features. He studied your lips, nose, beauty marks. The silence was then caught off by him kissing you.

You felt your heart stop for a second before you returned the kiss.

He pulled away and smiled, “I see that you didn’t try to stop me, hermosa.”

HOLYSHOCKHOLYSHOCKHOLYSHOCKHOLYSHOCK

“I don’t think I should stop you,” you whispered, getting a low chuckle from him before he carried you bridal style towards his sleeping quarters and laid you on his bed. He barely came back from a mission and was still in his suit while you were in your regular clothing.

“I see, you like calling me ‘hermosa’? What does that mean?”

He smirked at you and pointed at you, “It means beautiful, just like you.”

You got up a bit from your laid position and kissed him even harder, pulling his weight on top of you as you both were drowning in each other.

“Oh fuckkk…” He groaned, squeezing your ass before he started attacking your neck, leaving you with red and purple love bites. He reached for your collarbone and stopped.

“W-Why’d you stop,” you whined. You didn’t know what to feel at this point. Here you were, with your best friend who you had a crush on, making out in his bed. Did he feel the same way? You had to pinch yourself before you could decide it was an illusion.

It wasn’t.

“I need permission. Can you-“

Before he responded, you took off your shirt and slid down your pants, leaving you in your panties and bra. “Continue.”

He smiled and started to play with your clit and kissed you at the same time, as you moaned in the kiss.

“F-Fuck, O’Hara-“ you moaned

It’s safe to say that you still couldn’t believe what happened next when he asked for permission again.

He pushed a button from his watch, placing it on his nightstand to reveal his almost godly sculpted body…and his very, very long member.

Your eyes couldn’t help but widen, which he noticed and chucked.

“Do you think you take it?“

“I don’t know, but I can try,” you muttered. You didn’t know what just happened with your newly found confidence but you were rolling with it.

He ripped your panties off and put a condom on. He then, aligned his erected member to your vagina and went in.

“It hurts-“ you whined before he kissed you.

“Just take it, you’re doing good right now, cariño.” He said as he moaned a bit, enjoying how tight you feel around him.

‘Cariño’…that was new.

That’s what Doña Rosa called her husband whenever he came at random times in her restaurant when the two of you were ordering empanadas.

That’s what lovers call each other, right?

It didn’t take long for you to almost pass out from his girth entering in and out, giving you a wave of euphoria and a bit of pain.

Your mind was rushing at different places, all while hearing his little grunts and moans.

You were probably going to be sore tomorrow but it’s fine.

“I’m- I’m about to-“

“Yeah, me too,” he said before you both finished, feeling him fill you up.

“Shhh, sleep. You need rest now,” he said as he kissed your forehead and your eyes fluttered. He wrapped his sheets on you and patted your head. You softly smiled. It smelled like him and it smelled so good.

You recall him putting on some clothes and leaving, but thought he would come back.

You realized he didn’t when you woke up.

The only thing he left was a note on the other side of the bed you laid on, telling you that he felt every emotion opposite for love towards you. He wanted you to be gone from his life.

All you could do was just stare at a wall and cry.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

“Peter…are you sure that talking to him in person would help? I’m just-“

“Nervous? Yeah I get it. When me and MJ had our troubles, it’s always best to talk it out. Look at me now!”

“Peter, I’m looking at you and all I see is a middle-aged man in a superhero costume with a pink bathrobe, raccoon eyes, and a baby.”

Peter glared at you and rolled his eyes, “Wow I’m offended-“

You put up your arms, “Hey I’m sorry but that’s what I saw!”

“Mhm? Well, just talk to him. If he told you that in person-“

“He didn’t…”

Peter fumed, “Stop interrupting meeeee! Alright. That makes more sense then, honestly.”

You raised your eyebrow, “What do you mean by that?”

"What exactly did he do?"

You stared at him blankly, "He wrote a note.”

Peter scoffed and smiled cockily, “Miguel isn’t the type to do that stuff in writing!”

You cocked your head towards Peter, “And? What are you trying to say?”

Peter chuckled, “He didn’t mean it! That’s what it meant!”

You felt like your brain cells might have died from the statement Peter made.

What the fuck?

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

yeah idk what I just wrote either.

This is why I left Jikook space. Jikookers being solos (or besties with solos), not only Taehyung but Jungkook antis as well, is just... I have no words besides being glad that i left those cultists.

These are screenshots taken from a Twitter group chat of more than 70 Jikookers.

How can you even disrespect Jimin like that!? Is he a woman now? I'm out of words. Solos are antis nomatter how hard they pretend to stan the member. Disrespecting him, his friends and family, then pretending that you love him?! I think shipping culture is really a nuisance to people's mental health cause there's no way these people are sane.

Shipping is actually a disease! Only this week, a Japanese actress 2x of Taehyung's age created a group chat of 172 people to hate on Tae and create malicious rumor about, she's been doing it since 2022 just to justify her ship, now J-armys caught her thus she's giving her halfass apology, this is NOT normal!!!

Please just leave the boys alone. Solos, shippers, diet solos, mantis, ot6, please leave BTS alone!!

For those of you who need links to report and block here.

PLEASE, IF YOU'RE A JIKOOKER OR ARMY FOLLOWING ANY SOLOS FANBASE, PLEASE UNFOLLOW AND BLOCK ME.

[abyssalzones]

hey :) i had to unfollow a bit ago just for personal reasons (i'm sure you're well aware of trauma-induced emotional sensitivities of some kinda discussions in the manner of this stuff) but... i wanted to take the time to read your analysis anyway, since i had still been looking forward to it, and i think thats always fair to do. and like you said, regardless of any differences in thought... i wanted to say still i really appreciate you sharing your thoughts, cus you were right, too, in that even though i was oddly nervous to read it... i do completely agree with you in the end, y'know? you DID surprise me in some ways. especially for sharing something so personal, and i hope everyone does nothing but respect you for that as well -- if you get any shit for sharing this i'm gonna be PISSED. you're right about a lot of things, and Especially in your disappointment in the fandom, too. i'm glad you enjoyed the book in the end and i hope you can continue to chill out in your bubble away from the broader trends up stuff going on right now even for your own sake, cus i understand how frustrating fandom can be in... general, really. so thank you again for sharing

uhm. that's... that means a lot to me, actually! I totally understand what you mean, and how stressful it can be (obviously), so it really is a lot to know you went and read all that anyway and came away from it pleasantly surprised. I've also really appreciated you and everyone else who has expressed that they'll be backing me up on being open about the topic, although currently the response has been pretty overwhelmingly positive, which I am super grateful for :J

it was particularly important to me going into writing and posting the review/analysis piece that I not only reach people I had already been writing for, but possibly fans outside of my general blogging sphere. so, thank you for having some faith in me!!

[gamblersdoll]

“you never spoke about palestine and im unfollowing you.”

i have talked about palestine. ive also talked about the many people who actually dont care about palestine and they just want to get brownie points for speaking on it.

as much as i donate to gaza, rafah, there isnt anything we can really do other than donate. (i say this because people were dressed and pretended to be humanitarian aids. read that again.)

amerikkka cant do much about palestine, because it risks us at war, and mind you, we are also going through a war ourselves : the government vs citizens.

now before you start hootin an hollerin!

i never said we shouldn’t support or speak up, (whether a person decides to speak up about it or not does not show their views on it, plus apparently alot of you are narcissistic.) but what can we really do? we asked sleepy j to send resources, and palestine got expired food, mres, ect.

we cannot try and help someone else without helping ourselves first. (this is why amerikkka went through so much, because we jumped into so much shit. even then, amerikkka wont help be of their views on them.)

if you unfollow me because YOU cannot find my palestine postage, cool. ive spoken about it, and ive done my part.

question is, have you?

[nanamikentorp]

hi admin, i was the one that sent you that mean ask. i want to apologise. i didn't mean to make you upset with my ask, i am sorry if i had offended you in some way. now that i've reread what j sent, i see how i mean i was being. please keep up with what youre doing and ill make sure to be more mindful before sending an ask. i hope you can forgive me <3

Hello anon. Don't worry. There is nothing to forgive. I was not upset, just a bit irked. It was good for me to also clarify what this rp would be like.

Once again, just a reminder, the rp is not being forced on anyone and you can unfollow if you don't like it there's no hard feelings. Please understand Tumblr is a place where you can curate your own experience. If you don't like something you aren't going to be forced to stay. This isn't school, or a shitty job.

But, all of you are welcome here. We're all just getting through life dreaming of our beautiful fictional husband. So whether you send in an ask or you just lurk and read it's all good.

That being said, I will deal with nastiness firmly. Hence my previous reply.

Anyway, take care guys, my inbox is empty, come send asks to Mr Kento all you like.

Admin

[san-marzano]

I have to admit, there was a time when I almost unfollowed you. Back when you were constantly drawing your TWST sona, I found myself feeling uneasy. It wasn’t easy seeing another woman associated with a character I cared about deeply, especially Cater Diamond. But now that your focus has shifted to Skully J. Graves, I’m genuinely relieved I didn’t go through with it. As someone who's grown attached to this new direction, I can honestly say your content makes me feel happy again.

If I could offer a bit of parting advice from one lady to another, it’s this: stay close to what you’re best at. You have a talent for drawing characters, but when they’re paired with women who don’t seem quite right for them, it feels a little off. Keeping your focus on what works will ensure I, and others like me, remain loyal supporters~

i shouldve had chatgpt spit out an answer bc thats the amount of respect i have for this ask but i decided against it

dont tell me what to post, this isnt ur blog

how online are u if u think that this "advice" is actually useful?? this is an incredibly parasocial mindset to have to think that an ask like this is helpful

im a 20 year old man.

im just gonna restate: if u dont like my content why follow??? block and move on. y'all out here looking dumb as fuck sending me shit like this

[mirum-wonder]

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

Guess who's back? Back Again… Mirum's back, tell a friend. Guess who's back, guess who's back guess who's back 😂

Well, now then I'm done with my homage to Eminem and you still did not unfollow me after that (because I would), I think it's time to talk about the elephant in the room. It's been four months since I was active here or on any other platform. I've missed shiptember, I've missed inktober… damn… I've even missed my most favorite day in the year which is Halloween… Holy Molly!!!… I've missed a lot of great opportunities to make interesting artworks and engaging content 😭😭😭 It's tragic in deed. Some even may think that I'm long dead or something… but let me calm you down, for all that what happened I have a better explanation! and that is…(Suspense intensifies) … ALIENS!!!!! 🛸 Yes, you've read that right Ladies and Gentlemen, and all other foks… ALIENS!!! 👽👽👽

And you not gonna believe it, here is a video proof POV documentary of how exactly that happened. I's 100% not fabricated legit footage, definitely not a hoax, totally true, totally not done by me in Blender 3D last night as a desperate attempt to get at least something dome for Halloween special, it's officially confirmed by FBI, Fox Mulder, and Agent J from MIB himself. Like C'mon guys, it even has sound of night crickets in it, it just can't be fake.

For those who will not want to spend 21 seconds of their life on watching this X-rated shock content but somehow still made it this far reading my severe case of graphomania paroxysm here is a short synopsis of it:

I was chilling at night in the woods (usual me, it's normal) and then all of the sudden BAM, the shiny UFO appeared and these bald naked guys with oversized body parts (no, not Jonny Sins) started to run around. That could not end well for me, and it never did. The End. I was knocked out and abducted. True story. No Cap.

So yeah, as a trustworthy and responsible adult I'm officially blaming my 4 month social media absence on aliens 👽🛸

Damn… With excuses like that I definitely could become a politician 🤔 At least next time I can blame Aliens while trying to explain my girlfriend why I'm late from the bar on Friday night… and all other misadventures 😂

P.S since now I'm back, I'll try to post my stuff more often 😁 Thanks for your time !

For more of the art stuff I do feel free to check out my Linktree

[persephinae]

Hey just a heads up since I've had like 50 people follow me recently and had to block some people

I block h//p blogs on sight, you chose nostalgia over someone's safety

update: J//K R//owl//ing is a fucking n*zi, so i want NOTHING to do with her or her fucking franchise

So if you like that series you can unfollow me right now

Same with any t*rfs. Get the fuck out and I hope you choke

[yallemagne]

This year, I'm not doing Dr*cula D*ily

Or any other substack but DD is the biggest. I have numerous reasons for this decision that none of y'all are gonna particularly care for, but ya know, just so we got our expectations in order: I'm not gonna participate in DD this year (maybe never again), I'm probably not gonna reblog many posts related to it (doing so would be counterintuitive), but I am holding myself to finishing Orice (at LEAST the base fic).

Now, why?

TL;DR: Mental health crisis brought on by internet harassment and overprioritizing social media. It's not fun anymore, folks.

DD just... it completely ruined the novel for me.

It was a nice phenomenon, but it took a wrecking ball to my mental health and self-worth. Now, I'm not saying DD's creator personally did something to spite me (or maybe I am, he knows what he did /j), but this whole thing? It wasn't good for me. It was never good. It was sometimes fun, but most of the time it made me want to end it because of thumblr notes.

That's fucking stupid. My life is not worth internet validation. My art is not worthless just because my numbers are not as big as the biggest big shots in the fandom. I'm not a horrible person when other people handle personal disagreements regarding headcanon with defaming rumours and impersonation. But hell! My view of reality was horribly skewed.

A while back, I unfollowed all the gothlit tags I previously followed because 1) Some people (active and popular members of the fandom, mind you, not bots or trolls) were posting honest-to-god name-dropping harassment in the tag because "it's a popular tag so more people will see my callout post" and 2) I reached a point where seeing anything related to the novel on my dash just set me off. It didn't even need to be drama-related anymore. Mentions of the characters, mentions of popular AUs, just the very content of this book became triggering to me, and I really didn't miss the content when it was gone, as sad as that is.

And the kicker? I've come to realize that I probably dislike more things about the novel than I actually like about it. Not only is it tied to some of my darkest moments in recent memory, but it's also just... a book with many flaws that I could go on and on and on about. Sometimes, it straight-up made me furious, like seething mad, and I think I'd rather just be happy. But even when I would try to channel that energy into being happy, I always felt I had to over-clarify or else I’d get bombarded with anonymous messages. If you’ve seen any of my posts from during that time… chances are there is a passive aggressive “btw people can have opposing opinions from you about an old book and it doesn’t give you leave to stone them” or several tags of “#this is a joke #a jooooooke #for the love of god #if y’all don’t stop”. I bet it was as annoying for y’all as it was for me.

P.S. Mutuals/friends, do not worry. Y'all keep doing y'all. I can and will block tags if seeing your posts triggers me. So, I suppose my only request is to properly tag, but I've been saying that from the very start.

I just want to move on to other things.

I took a break for Lent. I needed it terribly. And... not gonna lie? I almost didn't want to return. I never got an itching to just log on and "check in". I very successfully avoided tumb altogether. I came back because "I gotta come back eventually" and also like, this is my main hub where I update when I've written a fic, and ya know... I'm not gonna let toxic fandom bs rule my shit.

During my break, I got back into gaming. More specifically, I started playing Hades again. And listening to Epic the Musical. Aaaand boyyy did that bring me back to my Greek mythology phase. I have a Greek mythos/Hades sideblog btw: @areopagusimp. It's cringe, if you can't tell by the blog name.

Back when I was into Hades game and general Greek mythos, my expectations were so much smaller, but yet, my goals and will to create seemed so much bigger. I made art that no one gave a single solitary shit about (except for my friend), but I was happy. Maybe I'm wearing rose-tinted glasses, but... even if I wasn't as happy then as I remember being... haha at least I wasn't receiving threats and insults in my inbox back then :))). That was the most fun thing about the gothlit fandom. I hope every single chickenhearted angry anon is proud of their behaviour.

But yeah, whatever I end up doing, I’m striving to not let it run me into the ground.

But... What do I do now?

I have so many WIPs (art and writing) for the novel, and it's very disappointing that I didn't get to finish them before it all turned sour. Hopefully, I can still finish them, it just won't be with the same distress I worked with before. Hopefully, I can post that stuff and fully manage my expectations, not crash and burn when only a few people like it. Because hell! A few people liking my stuff? That's amazing, really. I shouldn't take that for granted. At the same time, I'm setting a boundary for myself. Placing my self-worth into the hands of people who I don't know, who don't know me, and who aren't even paying for the art? I need to stop that. Who the hell is that gonna serve? Absolutely no one.

My number one goal is to finish Orice. It is somehow untouched by my aversion to the novel; it is my safe space. I want to honour it and honour the longtime readers who have stuck with me. It's gonna be hard, but it's gonna be worth it for me.

This feels attention-seeking, and it kinda is. I'm not tagging the main subject and I'm not allowing reblogs because I want this to stay isolated (and hopefully prevent backlash/misunderstandings), but ya know, no matter how much I try to keep this small, I'm still posting it online. But I just feel like I needed to get this off my chest. I don't really owe everyone an explanation, but I want there to be one for my own sake... also it's much easier to generalize and make a post than contact each of my friends/mutuals on here and unload stuff onto them that I'm not sure is too personal or not.

For those of you who are reading: I love y'all. I love the good people I've met through all this mess. I want to keep the good apples, not throw out the whole harvest, alright? Dunno how much you'll care for my art when the subject is different, but... eh. If y'all are willing to try?

I agree that the unfollow could mean nothing but it's not because Tom was smiling on stage that it for sure means he absolutely loved every single thing about working for Jamie. Tom usually doesn't unfollow his past directors after working with them. He still follows bayona, Jon and even Doug Liman (and we know how much he hated Chaos Walking lol). So it could mean something, or anything, but I wouldn't say it's a reach to say he wants to just turn the page after r&j

It's clear Tom loved his cast and his cast loved him, but none of them ever talked about Working for Jamie. Jamie, beside the statement from the company at the beginning, didn't say anything for Fran Vogue cover (Tom did). He didn't post ANYTHING about R&J on his account beside the initial announcement (in comparison he made thank you posts dedicated for the cast and crew for all his other productions). And he is active, he posted about his new play with Tom Hiddleston, he clearly is an online. And he gave a couple interviews in the past couple weeks talking about his future plans, in which he didn't even talked not even once about R&J, but he did talk about his other past plays like Sunset. He just finished a sold out play of 3 months, it was a hot topic in the city for weeks starting one of the most popular young actors, but they didn't ask him about it ? naaag'h I doubt it, I think Jamie asked to not be asked about it, for whatever reason. I mean... the energy is not there you have to admit. If he's ignoring it to kinda put under the rug all the controversies and the criticism about his minima' style, It's cowardish if you ask me but🤷🏽‍♀️ 😅

Well, if you want to believe that there's some beef going on between Tom and Jamie, then go right ahead! 😅

Like I said, we don't see everything that is going on bts. Also, people can be not asked about certain projects for a variety of reasons, and it's not always due to something negative.

I usually tend to believe things when I see tangible evidence. Right now, all of the things you're mentioning could mean something, or they could just be coincidences?

I'm actually curious to know what Tom felt about this play and his experience with it. That might give us something more concrete and tangible to work with and we might be able to get more clues on what the general "vibe" was while working.

You all know me though, I don't usually just believe a bunch of rumors or "suspicions" unless there's actual evidence to back it up substantially.

Maybe you shouldn't be calling someone who's work was literally plagiarized, a prick. Cause you come across as the prick yourself. If someone stole your art you would be bawling your little eyes out, and posting a callout post on the stealer. But when it comes to fanfic it's all good and well huh? You hold the ultimate authority on who is wrong and who is right. Get over yourself and mind your own. Writers who steal ideas/entire blocks of text are just as bad as art thieves. You sound like the entitled one, labeling an anon as entitled for being upset over their own work. Theheirofthesharingan is bad unloading hate on an anon who was upset but you're up there too, unfollowing you. I used to be a big fan of your naruto art.

A lot to unpack in this one, huh?

I assume you are referring to this part of my previous post.

I never said that Anon was a prick, in case you noticed. What I said was

There are cases in which there is a prick who is stealing people's work

But there are also cases in which the prick is an overly entitled person because they don't understand the difference between plagiarism, inspiration, and fair use

I do not know which one of these two cases applies to the other Anon

The problem here (that I also illustrated in my previous post) is nuance. My exact wording was "case-by-case". And in Anon's case, I literally have no way of knowing whether Anon's concerns about plagiarism were legitimate or entitled. I am simply lacking the context. Hence, I threw in both possibilities - one in which their concerns are legitimate and one in which they are entitled.

I have seen both happen. In particular in the case of digital art.

I am not the ultimate authority to decide who is right or wrong. And I never claimed to be. But also, that's the point I was trying to make.

Some further context from me:

I do also write fanfic on Ao3. And no, it is not just a random one-shot but a long project that I am actually invested in. This is not a double standard I am trying to impose because it doesn't affect me personally. I am commenting on this issue because it does affect me.

People with difficulties in differentiating between inspiration and theft also appear in the art community (this is where you get people trying to "own" poses, color palettes, art styles, unoriginal designs, etc.). So same rules from my previous post apply to artists as well.

There are people who genuinely don't know the rules around copyright. I, on the other hand, attended an entire class surrounding copyright. That's why I feel it is necessary to educate people on those things because I don't want fellow fanfic writers and fan artists to get into legal trouble or fandom drama.

I don't have fans, get lost /j

Now, we can continue this discourse if you'd like. But I suggest you refrain from making further hasty conclusions in the future. Right now I am giving you the benefit of the doubt in case there was a communication issue that led you to misunderstand me (shit happens).
