Perpetually multifandom, currently excited about The Untamed, Arcane, Critical Role, and Dragon Age. 99% queue. Ancient fandom sorceress frequently distracted by "real life." I don't know how Tumblr has changed in 3 years and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Hello! I won fanart from Sylvia Morris in the Fandom Trumps Hate auction, and I was wondering if it would be okay for her to do a piece of art based on the Needle and the Nail? She wants to draw badass women, and I thought your Wen Qing would be an awesome subject. Of course let me know if you have any questions or if there's any particular scene you dream of having art for!

Oh my gosh, how amazing!! It is absolutely okay by me! I am so flattered to be part of raising money for a good cause, even tangentially. Since you've raised the money, please feel free to select any scene in The Needle and the Nail that speaks to you. <3 I would love to see the art when it's done!

yeah we put your girl in the fandom and they villainized her beyond comprehension. yeah sorry they took out all the nuance and made the argument completely black and white. yeah my bad. we can’t reverse it. sorry.

We put your girl in the fandom and now she's just the "one who has the braincell". Sorry, they made her a "queen" so she can't be funny or vulnerable or do anything except sigh and wrangle the boy characters. Like a mother, yeah. Yeah, it's still better than it would have been fifteen years ago. Sorry.

i dont know exactly how to articulate this in a way other people havent but everything is too fast now. 24/7 news cycle, online focuses that last for hours instead of months or years, songs written just so ten seconds can go viral. movies and books churned out to meet some nebulous income quota. idk. im motion sick

You're not alone or the first to feel like everything is going too fast

my favorite bit of road etiquette, i have done it and often had it done to me, the pedestrian’s yield. when pedestrian wishes to cross the street, but does not wish to impede the flow of traffic/be rushed in their crossing, but the vehicle is slowing in preparation of stopping to let the pedestrian cross. but the pedestrian insists. and so the pedestrian turns away I DONT EVEN SEE YOU, AND I NEVER WANTED TO CROSS THE STREET ANYWAYS i love doing it i love having it done. dont try to wave me on im not looking that way i just hang out on the road’s edge for pleasure
