I fangirl about the fan webcomic When Curiosity Met Insanity, Disneyland Alice and Hatter face characters, Tokyo Disney Villains Recruiters, Mad T Party band, Tim Burtons Alice, Adventures in Wonderland tv show, Heart no kuni no Alice game/manga,American McGee's Alice game, Pandora Hearts manga/anime, Alice in Borderland jdrama, Twisted Wonderland game, OUAT, Syfy Alice

You've convinced me. How would one get into Mad T Party?

Oh goodness where do I begin!!! LONG POST AHEAD!!!! Ok soooo I have some posts tagged as #mad t fandom lore thanks to @spikrock and @hattersgirlalice for giving me the inspiration to start this whole rabbit hole of nostalgia lol which showcases the basic general info of the mtp band performer's nicknames and noteworthy moments in the fandom (mostly gifs of the band that altered the fandom in some way, and fanart from the captains)

U can watch all the videos of the band performing on YouTube (There's numerous sources but I personally like to watch Nick Turchens playlist another place to find vids of T are just random clips here on Tumblr)

The OG Captains from what I can personally remember were @briannacherrygarcia she was THE ARTIST! she made the majority of the fanart headcanons for the fandom along with Storywhisper who wrote fanfics! (unfortunately they're deactivated and it still makes me sad I wanted to reread all their fics to freshen up on the lore but alas they are lost in the void somewhere as far as I know if anybody has links saved uhhhh help a girl out 👀)

There's many other talented fanfic authors and fan-artists!!! Gifs and Photography were a HUGE part of the fandom! People would make reaction gifs out of any and everything! Alot of shippy moments that were captured by these talented peeps made us all go feral EVERY SINGLE. TIME. BCUZ THEY WERE OUR ONLY REFERENCE FOR CANON CHARACTERIZATION STUFF.

@briannacherrygarcia (she always ate and left no crumbs🔥🔥🔥 absolutely iconic queen💅 a freaking art legend for any Alice in wonderland fan)

@cogitaeworks / @cogitae (they are godtier ohh m y godd fucking gorgeous artworks I swear)

Here is a list of all the blogs I've hunted down here on Tumblr to rummage thru for anything Mad T related, u don't have to follow all of these peeps a good majority of them especially on the lower half are inactive, and lower half is mostly just reblogs from other blogs maybe we can find eachother and form a lil T renaissance I'm just desperate for any MTP crumbs from this ancient ruin of a fandom lost to time

@elrohare is still active, they don't write fics as recently but thier old fics r one of the only main references I still use for MTP fics character arcs and lore so far

(Put an F in the chat for @storywhisper 😢 they're not dead as far as I know but their blog is totally gone from Tumblr and I can't find any of their fics 😭😭😭)

If u wanna get to know more about the performers outside of the band, as in irl, they have social medias on YouTube and TikToks. I'm still a little iffy on sharing the irl identities for new fans cuz the whole character integrity thing at Disney AND ALL THE OG FANS REMEMBER ALL THE DRAMA ABOUT THIS TYPE OF STUFF IYKYK First I would have to get consent from a trusted source who can confirm that they are ok with fans knowing thier identity outside of T. Y'all gotta be respectful this time frfr 😒🙄

And not to toot my own horn but I've made a few MTP fanarts recently tagged in #myart and I'm in the middle of making my own Mad T Party Universe. Taking inspiration from multiple headcanons and performances from the fandom and combining them all together in a multi chapter art/comic thing??? IDK I'm not a writer but imma just post art pieces here and there with lore sprinkled in or something low-key if anybody wants to help me write it I'd totally appreciate it cuz how the hell do authors DO THIS ALL THE TIME 😭😩 y'all are troopers for keeping all these random facts and characters in ur head all the damn time🙃 and the audacity to have it in a linear timeline?? Organization???never heard of her!

Soooo yeaaaaa just look at my tag #mad t fandom lore for the basics, devour all of Briannacherrygarcia's masterpieces, watch the YouTube vids, follow some of the blogs, and maybe follow me as well since I'm rebooting this fandom apparently. Cringe is dead and I'm the grim fucking reaper.

FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY MORE QUESTIONS IF U HAVE ANY! Or if u wanna discuss shippy stuff 💞💞💞

Btw this has absolutely nothing to do with MTP but high-key I LOVE ur url bcuz I'm actually a Neo-Pagan Persephone devotee sooo the whole pomegranate thing is just *chefs kiss* ✨blessed be fellow warlock/witch✨

Reminder for tumblr newbies: tags on reblogs are for your own purposes or just a space for commentary. only tags on new posts are actually searchable or will show up on followed tags

Wait, really? Then what's the point of people tagging "boost" on reblogs they want to get more eyeballs on.

good question! #signal boost tells their followers that this is something they want spread. Their followers can then decide to pass it along themselves. You'll see it most often on charity posts e.g. "hi I need money to pay a hospital bill pls boost this" and then subsequent rebloggers tag "signal boost"

This tag along with #timezone reblog and other similar ones are also often on self-reblogs bc op wants their content to get as much exposure as possible among their followers. Those tags also do nothing except self-deprecatingly explain "yes, this might be your 2nd time seeing this today and I'm doing it on purpose." If followers are inclined they can take that hint and pass op's content along.

Tumblr is powered by users relying on each other to spread stuff around. That's why so many posts discourage newbies from sticking to the outside habit of only "liking" things. You gotta pass posts along by reblogging, and asking others to boost a special post is just part of that system.

Mild addition - tags are *also* so that people can go through your archive and search for stuff. My tags are horrendous, but technically you can still click through #characters from the archive page and find all posts relating to writing characters. Same for #dialogue, etc.

I am a horrible gremlin who never almost uses tags on my personal blog, but if you're running a fandom blog, post your own writing snippets, or generally want to track certain kinds of posts, tags will help you and others find those posts in your archive. Just in case anyone wants to look through your blog to find... Stuff.

i feel like no one really talks about the loneliness of writing original fiction. sharing your work is hard. believing that people like it is so hard. explaining yourself to people who don’t write feels messy and the mild exasperation when you say you’re working on something new (again? another one) like you’re inconveniencing them by sharing, even if they don’t feel that way, like you have to beg people to love this world that you create and the fear that they don’t or the fear that they are pretending, that they are putting up with your writing talk.

to be creative is to be chaotic and confusing and obsessed, and sometimes it feels like too much, too often, too all-encompassing. i don’t know how to be less.

i wrote this post in july of 2020 and i would love to go back and give past me a little kiss on the forehead. it’s going to be okay. you find your cheerleading squad and better readers than you could dream of. you’re not shouting into the void anymore. the people you see in your day to day life are very interested in you and your career and what you’re working on. you no longer live with the person who makes your creativity feel like a character flaw. you get to sit on your couch and watch your friends react to your stories in real time (and scream and chuck things at you).

also, you get an agent and a book deal. nobody asks you to be less.

keep truckin, soldier.🫡☀️

Do yourself a favor and just write everything out of order. That's legit what's stopping me from updating my WIPs because the back of my head is demanding it has to be consecutively written in order or else it won't make sense.

....which is kind of dumb because when I came up with the plotlines they were from scenes right in the middle lol

Me with my Mad T Party: Looking Glass Legends AU. . . I got the basic outline stuffs. The plot twists, emotional character arcs, relationships, different settings (Underland,wonderland,Disneyland,Times Realm, Dream Dimension, Las Vegas) BUT PUTTING ALL THESE IDEAS IN ORDER TO MAKE SENSE IS STOPPING ME FROM ACTUALLY HAVING ANYTHING TO POST 😭😭😭😭

i mean im not from old fandom but its called spiderwebs because that was the alice/caterpillar song right but especially for alice/ladypillar because when theyd usually perform the song alice would act uncomfortable with caterpillar sitting next to her and stuff but then with ladypillar i dont think she ever acted like that sooo i didnt know that was actually a ship name tho that makes me happy i like when ships have names other than just putting their names together lol

Avatar

Oh! I've only ever watched the performances mostly for Marchmouse shenanigans so I never really paid attention to the others lol time to binge watch all the other performers now

I never really understood how this name came about in the og MTP fandom but does ANYONE remember why the AlicexLadypillar ship name was "Spiderwebs"??? Not hating it I'm just genuinely curious and just accepted it as fact since thats what the og captains used to call them
