some lazy sunday sketching before bed 😴 Elphaba has not known peace since meeting this woman

the contrast between “blonde.” in what is this feeling to then “gold hair with a gentle curl” in i’m not that girl…. elphaba really fell for glinda I’M SICK

This is canon to me

Whoever wrote this, slayed so hard with all these statements, truer words have never been spoken

There may be strategic reasons why the most prominent US Democrats are not saying a word about what Trump is doing with Ukraine, Russia and Europe. But I don't understand these reasons and the silence unsettles me. This almost resounding silence is worse to bear than Trump's tirades. The longer it goes on, the more complicit they become.

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem

Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao

@into-fiction we gotta fuck up Morrible’s day with this tag at some point XD can you imagine something goes horribly wrong and suddenly she has to take care of Galinda and Elphaba but as kids? Awful for her.

OMG. KID FIC. KID FIC WITH MORRIBLE.

lmaoo imagine a botched spell or failed attempt at time travel de-ages them; that would be hilarious. morrible's worst nightmare, fr.

im just picturing gelphie making morrible lose her damn mind as she drags up her .01% maternal instincts to try and keep em alive lol.

tho....on the flip side....

(is it bad that my mind went straight to 'exploring the effects of early trauma on a child's brain before they grew up and repressed it'?? eyeballing that 'implied/reference child abuse' tag from here...)

(fuck wait why am i now thinking of a gleeful morrible sinking her claws into a child gelphie and getting to mold them/her into her perfect little-- yeah, okay, enough brainstorming for me)

I'm going to *remembers suicide is often not a desire for death itself but rather an attempt to radically change one's life because the current state of being has become unbearable but the person can't think of any way to change it other than death* kill myself

Elphaba + Fiyero = Liir

Galinda + Chuffrey = Peaches (via surrogacy)

Just thinking about faces for Eternally Yours, don’t mind me. I know some of my readers are visual people? So this helps them and me to kinda visualize better what these characters look like 😅

Peaches & Liir (older)

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

a non-selective plan for the resurgence of fic commissions

Too many children in the comments like ‘I think authors should be able to share ko-fi links :) it’s just nice’ and ‘OP is just a cop.’ Homie, OP is trying to keep AO3 fully functional without interruption. I will report your ass, too, because I value fic artists and our freedom of expression and my audience and our shared history far more than I value the few bux you wanna make on a commission.

It is not hard to link to your Tumblr or Twitter with a vague message like, “If you’re looking for my other works or other ways of supporting me, go here: link.” I have had people buy me coffees after enjoying my fic and asking where to support me. I threw up a link to my Tumblr and people cared enough to follow it. They were fully understanding when I explained in the comments that they could not commission me and I could not link them directly to any donation platform, but they could go to xyz link to read more. And they did! Nobody has to put AO3 directly on the firing line.

Go ahead and commission independently. Just do it anywhere else except on AO3. And then don’t come crying to the community when you, personally, get a C&D from a massive corporation.

AO3 is our bullet shield. Tumblr will pull your shit down. Wattpad won’t fucking protect you. LJ and FF.net already sold our asses for one (1) corn chip. AO3 is trying to protect us, you goddamn lemmings.

If you cannot follow the rules that protect fanspaces, you do not belong in our fanspaces.

The only people who misunderstand this are doing so intentionally and maliciously. Do yourself a favor and block the infants who think this isn’t a big deal.

Please remember that this ALSO INCLUDES FANDOM CHARITY AUCTIONS.

When you post charity auction fics, DO NOT note that they are commissions in any way. You can note them as “here is my thank you gift to X for such-and-such event” but please please PLEASE do not list them as commissions.

I think a lot of younger people are seeing this as a moral panic by OP. These are NOT being laid out as moral injunctions! This is not about being good! This is about covering your own ass and keeping fandom away from larger-scale legal trouble. No one is saying “If you break the rules you’re BEING BAD!” They’re trying to tell you “breaking these rules is DANGEROUS for yourself and potentially others as well!”

people are literally so boring a male character will kill 10000 people and steal candy from babies and theyll be like omg thats my king! but a female character is rude once and theyre like i hope she dies violently

reblog to support female characters violently killing people

Isnt it weird that hotel rooms provide toilet paper, tissues, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, and ive even seen some provide make removal wipes, but I’ve never seen a single one provide pads or tampons?

Russian-speaking twitter had a huuuuge discussion about that last month I think, it was crazy how angry men were after just reading this question.

The arguments against varied from “hotels can’t afford it” to “you should plan your periods women, you have apps for that” to “but what if men eat tampons by mistake” (what???)

It really blew up and as far as I know quite a few workplaces began to put pads and tampons in office toilets. Hopefully hotels will too.

Yeah i just thought about it when i saw make up wipes in the hotel i stayed in the other day. Like make up wipes are very much something men could accidentally eat yet they are okay to provide but not pads??

Men will see a hypothetical hotel tampon and eat it

men will see a tampon and say is anyone gonna eat that and not wait for an answer
