was having a minor crisis but this appeared in my head and it was so stupid it just snapped me right out of it
Canary curse but no longer as a curse that dooms Jimmy, but as a curse he inflicts on others
mentally i'm still with them
angst ver (blood warning i guess):
some people on here don't need positivity asks. popular artists and writers for example. they get enough love, show love to smaller creators instead
Hello anon! You seem confused about how this blog works. Since it seems you are not aware, this is a submission-based blog! (✨0✨) Any person can submit anyone else, regardless of how "popular" that person is. The submission button is in fact the same button you hit to send me this unfortunate and rude ask!
I assume you are not aware of this, as this ask is the only ask you sent me. No other asks, on or off anon, came in alongside this ask. Especially not any asks sending in positivity for small creators, who you claim to be concerned about. But that cannot be right, because if that were true, I would have to conclude you do not actually care about small creators at all, and only want to complain about popular creators getting positivity, which would be not very nice!
Oh, and another thing. One of this blog's only rules is to not put down one member of this fandom in order to uplift another. I assume you did not read the rules in my description, since you did not know I am submission based, so I thought I would let you know!
Ah, but actually though.
"Popular" writers and artists are in fact also people who work hard and provide the fandom with amazing works. There are a lot of popular artists and writers whose work I genuinely admire, and I am happy to use this space to express this admiration. They deserve appreciation for what they do, and as long as people are willing to submit them, I am going to post them.
(Additionally, on an entirely practical level, who am I to decide when someone is "too popular" to be posted? I cannot see anyone's follower counts. This is in fact a main feature of tumblr. Would I just be going by guess? This seems an inefficient system.) (Not that I think you care about this. I assume you have a specific list of users in your head that you, personally, subjectively, do not like, and you want me to adhere to it for your petty grudge.)
One of the many, many reasons I started this blog was in response to confessions blogs, where I saw space for people to post anons about how they disliked popular artists and writers, such as how they hated a certain person's art or writing style, often specifying those people by name on anon to a blog with many many followers, where that person will unfortunately see it.
Another of the many, many reasons I started this blog is for my friends who are on the more popular end of the fandom, and how people treat them directly. What they have shown me of their inboxes is nightmarish, with people being rude, entitled, or cruel, simply because they assume that people's humanity does not count after a certain amount of followers. And, in the interest of full disclosure, though I am not extraordinarily popular on my main account, I have gotten my own share of nightmare anons as well.
A third of the many, many reasons I started this blog is because I have seen tumblr users post about other tumblr users by name and how they do not like their art/writing/creations, do not think they deserve their success or support, or simply do not like them without ever even meeting them. They will then post those uncaring words in those user's tumblr tags, again where those people will see them.
All of this made me very sad, because it seemed like somewhere along the way, people seemed to forget those artists and writers are people. Being popular (or perceived as popular) in fandom comes with many benefits, this is true, but it also emboldens the absolute worst members of fandom to be cruel to people they think are an acceptable target.
None of this sort of attitude makes fandom a fun place to be. Fandom is meant to be a community, based in mutual love for the same story. It is meant for making art, or writing, or cosplay, or songs, or other creations. It is made for sharing those creations with strangers who love the same thing you do, and sharing excitement and passion with other fans. It is meant for making friends. It is made out of, and meant for, love. Fandom is not only made worthwhile, but kept alive, through our support for one another.
You may think me a popular artist/writer dick-rider for acknowledging the humanity and fandom contributions of popular creators. I do not mind. I am sorry for you that simply believing people should be kind to one another, or that artists and writers should be recognized for their hard work, is so skewed in your head. I will not apologize for being kind to people, or for providing a space for kindness.
Do not mistake my existence as a positivity blog for me being a pushover. I will absolutely not tolerate any of this sort of attitude on this blog. This is a blog based in kindness, and I will shut down any asks which aim to sow any sort of rudeness.
If you actually care about small creators, be the change you want to see. Submit small creators. I am literally constantly begging for submissions, and I would love for people to submit any and all creators, big or small. I myself have submitted plenty of anons about small creators to my own blog. One of the best parts of this blog is learning about lots of creators I would not have known about before because you all submit small folks. Our support for each other is not just fandom at its best. It is what fandom is for.
All this said. Do not be hateful slime in my inbox again. I do not want to block you, because I think you, too, deserve positivity, if you receive it. But I will block you if you persist. Thank you.
break like an artist.

In which etho embarrasses himself. This chapter wasn’t apart of my original plan, but it’s the most personal to me. This is obviously a very silly and light chapter, the next one will be neither of those lol…. i don’t have much to add, it was nice to finally draw gem again and grian was there too i guess. also 40+ pages is wild
a familiar face from another life
happy late father’s day
So this weekly theory stems from the purposeful similarities and differences between a moment in Third Life and Wild Life. That particular moment in session three of Wild Life and session five of Third Life that resulted in a sacrifical death between Ren and another blonde, traumatised players. Which include Jimmy and Martyn respectively.
Beginning with Ren's sacrifice to Jimmy in Wild Life, this death was mainly a transactional death to regain his yellow status in exchange for undying loyalty soaked in the blood of Renthedog. An animal commonly characterised as loyal or faithful to friends or someone(s) trusted. This death unified some fraction of the Bamboozlers and the Renwood Mount and could symbolise new beginnings as Ren's returning season after Double Life. Back in Third Life, the Flower husbands were known as enemies of Dogwarts and with this sacrifice for a life, it could be known as rebuilding a bridge burned with war and detest.
This death mirrors the tragic moment in session five of Third Life where Martyn executed Ren before reborning as the Red King and bringing harvoc to the players as a red name. Losing his first life to Grian's unsuccessful-successful TNT minecart trap, Ren swore vengance to the Desert Duo as a red name who are able to initiate violence upon any life but risk being permanently dead. Regardless of this gamble, Ren was slayed by his Hand (Marytn). One of his most trusted allies who was also by when Ren orchestrated each war and battle against the Desert Alliance.
These then connects with Jimmy and Martyn who both teamed as the Big Dogs relating the trio of dogs and loyalty and making the webbing of teams, allies and enemiess across all seasons even more complicated.
