i honestly have no idea what i’m doing

idk i kinda don't like this idea that criticizing a show with lgbt+ characters/themes means you're joining side with the bigots and assholes. Because usually it's aimed at people of color and other lgbt+ people.

Yeah, maybe some people who dogpiled on Steven Universe did it for shitty reasons, but I saw plenty of jewish people, other lgbt+ people and black people fight against the show for its legitimate short comings. Did we forget the LITERAL HUMAN ZOO???

Yeah, a lot of the critics of she ra were homophobic assholes and don't deserve the time of day, but I saw plenty of sapphics (especially lesbians) who pointed out how much abuse was swept under the rug to make for the two female leads to get a happy ending, and not to mention the amount of autistic people and people of color who critiqued the show for its subtle ableism and racism

Yeah, most of the criticism against the owl house is bullshit and only there because there's a bunch of lgbt+ elements. But people of color are still allowed to critique how the side characters are handled. And even just in general, the show is a bit rushed in some places.

Especially with the first two, there's a lot of revisionist history that "both were just good shows, the critics were just meanie poopie pants :(" that simply...wasn't true?

We can have nuance here. And please listen to marginalized communities/critics in general. Not all criticism is inherently worthless.

So, I've seen this switcheroo idea thrown around a lot, but haven't actually read a fic quite how I picture it. Instead of Lust finding Roy and Havoc first, she finds Al and Riza. Then Lust tells Roy Riza's dead and then he cries and falls to his knees. Well, probably not that, he'd probably immediately burn her alive, but you see what I'm talking about.

In canon, Roy learns how to kill Lust because of his first confrontation with her and Havoc. He tries to take the philosopher's stone and it regenerates. Then he's surprised and finger-stabbed by Lust.

Roy would enter this AU confrontation without that knowledge, but would have Havoc backing him up, just as pissed (and confused about Lust's identity). I believe the search for intel would be dropped in favor of revenge. He'd still successfully kill her because he's Roy Mustang.

For Al and Riza, I think Al would step up if Riza was in danger, especially given how it plays out in canon, but he's not a killer, so that would work against him. Maybe Al is sliced up and plays dead, just like Barry did?

I don't think there would be a heroic entrance, just a tragic reunion as Roy and Havoc go and find Al and Riza. Then Roy would have to burn Riza (again) to stop her bleeding. Angst.

This is the kind of fic I like to read, but am too lazy to write, so I am putting this out into the internet with high hopes, haha!

Kh x spiderverse? I think Sora and Miles would be instant bffs

There we go

i solemnly swear to reblog this post every time it shows up on my dash

Ey yo true fax

For all you folks feeling alone and picked on in your fandom of choice because of the things you want to create - there are over 102 thousand reblogs of this message and it’s all in support of you. Write or draw whatever you want in order to express yourself because you know damn well that’s all you’re trying to do.

This!!

this is a message to future me who’s scrolling through my own blog:

don’t let anyone make you feel bad about what you like in fiction. don’t let anyone shame you for your preferences. don’t let anyone mock and belittle you for your portrayals or your projections. no “lack of content X” or “overrated content Y” is your fault.

this is your sandbox. you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. you don’t owe anyone anything. you only owe it to yourself to have fun.

Never let ANYONE else tell you how to push your broom around. 🖤🖤🖤

I feel like someone is standing next to me talking about how I'm dead

The chemical they put on ants and all the other ants think they're dead that's what happened to tumblr except the chemical is unmarketability

tumblr may have censored porn but check this out

i hope Elon musk KILLS himself and DIES a thousand DEATHS. and i hope every other billionaire a very merry DIE DIE DEATH KILL MURDER DEATH KILL

when people ask how long you’ve been online

Something I found on Twitter that really puts things in perspective as a creator.

Narcissus taking a selfie is the ACTUAL best.

These are REALLY cool

These are art in themselves, in a some of them point out what lockdown was like for us, they’re expressed themselves in a really cool way. But I think these are going to be talked about in the future.

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

There’s also this Gofundme. It’s worth emailing specific communities too if you’re looking to donate, sometimes they can take donations directly.

Hi,

It’s you friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.

What the FUCK?!

So instead of giving feedback to writers so they’ll continue to write you guys decide to feed our work into some AI program to get what you want? Guess all my fics are going on lockdown now. Y’all brought this on yourselves smh. I am so beyond being nice about this anymore.

Also, some people from the replies all authors should block immediately because obviously they don’t care about people’s work.

You don’t own it either dipshit.

We wouldn’t publish fics of their work? Authors respect other authors. Please show me an author who’s forbidden someone to write fanfic of their stuff anyway. Bet you’ll say Anne rice won’t you? That toxic meatloaf doesn’t get respect from anyone because of how she handled things. She could have done it a lot better,

Maybe this is a sign you should delete yourself from the internet. You don’t know if the author is going to finish it or not dumbass. You just decided they didn’t because it hadn’t been updated in a year, you know what that means? That means the author hasn’t gotten any interest in their fic. Show interest and the fic will be updated. Amazing how that works moron. Let’s see you put hours and hours into something you’re passionate about only to get no attention and then have people steal it to finish it because they decided you weren’t going to. Fuck off.

Well, these two were my second guess aside from Rei and Akari 😅

But ooh, bringing in Team Galactic into the event is really hype too. Gives me hope for Volo/Cynthia/Cyrus interactions one day.

Me with 20k gems: I AM (NOT) READY FOR THESE TWO!!!

Something something, Barbie meme
