And the universe said you are stronger than you know??? And the universe said you are the daylight?? And the universe said you are the night?? And the universe said the darkness you fight is within you??? And the universe said the light you seek is within you??? And the universe said you are not alone????

Every writer on Tumblr: “I would combust out of love if someone ever drew fanart of my fic!!” Me: “oh man I wanna draw this scene BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HATE IT AND HATE ME FOR THE NERVE”
Dear artists.
We, the writers, will accept any of your fan arts.
We don’t care if it looks like shit to you, or you think your art skills are not good enough.
We will love any fan art, because it’s the most beautiful way to say “I love what you write”.

This times a million.
This also applies to aesthetics, moodboards, spin-off fanfic drabbles, and the like. Doesn’t matter how insignificant or amateurish you think it is – all of it is beautiful. <3
I had 2 separate people make tiktok fancam/fic trailers for things I’ve written and I think about that every day and watch them often 😭❤️❤️
I have every fanart in a folder i look at all the time

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.
That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.
That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.
That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.
That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.
That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.
That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.
None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.
I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.
If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.
Celebrate fan work!
To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.
I don't know where he lives
Or if he knows to sail
Or if little schemes like this one ever cross his trail
But I don't believe he's dreaming
Or if he cares to know
E!False is a wet cat in the sense that she’s blinking at you pathetically from the bathtub with the biggest saddest eyes you’ve ever seen and Dl!Pearl is a wet cat in the sense that you’re dragging her in in from the rain scratching hissing biting screaming you give her a singular blanket and she just becomes a lump
I hate driving because you have to do everything perfectly as fast as possible or everyone around you will announce their displeasure with airhorns
oh and if you mess up you die and kill a bunch of people at the same time
LITERALLY like disarming a bomb except there’s a peanut gallery watching you and they’ve each got an airhorn and also another bomb
Thinking back to the good early days before my skin grew back when people could shake their heads at me and say "masks are a government conspiracy" and instead of navigating the bullshit like a normal person I could pull mine down and say "I have chemical burns on my face"
things people expect in a political confrontation:
- Facts
- Logic
- Emotional outbursts
Things they are never prepared for:
- Open sores
This post: "Thinking back to the good early days before my skin grew back"
Me: off to a compelling start
gay sex won’t fix this. it’ll probably make this worse. that being said don’t you want to see how much worse it can get?
MLM and WLW relationships in videogames are good but I want more men hating men (stanley parable) and women hating women (portal) dynamics
Ahhhh I forgot to post this here! In anticipation of PiratesSMP, I drew a fancy Kestrel Sausage, on the hunt for booty! … and maybe also booty. 👀
