gabriel better do my favorite twink (snotlout) justice or I'm sueing

I remember a time when I was in 8th grade, my mom had to bring me period medication and by the time she got there, I asked to be brought home because the cramps were too much. I could’ve stayed in school but nooooooo! “I’m sorry, we can’t give you medication for your cramps that are so painful you feel like you are going to throw up! I can give you an ice pack though.” BITCH DO YOU THINK AN ICE PACK IS GOING TO ACTUALLY HELP ME?!

“The heck!?” along with assorted midnight thoughts.

I have 2 whole followers now? A day after creating my account? I expected the first one, as they are a person I know IRL, but uh, hi to the other person who apparently enjoyed my first post!

In other news, Physics class sucks! I just spent approximately 8 hours doing only 20 math problems. Why must I suffer.

At least I can be cheered up by the fact that several ao3 fics I enjoy updated today! I was especially pleased that a homestuck story, called “the run and go” by deserts updated, after nearly a year of radio silence. Also, “There’s still magic” by RosesCry, which is a fairly good undertale one.

I really freaking love undertale and homestuck. I, unfortunately arrived really late to both fandoms. I found undertale in 2016 or 2017, but only played the game in late 2019. I found homestuck in around the same time. 

Can I say, if you don’t focus on the weird toxic parts that every fandom seems to have (exept the sanders sides fanbase, they’re wholesome), the undertale and HS comunnities are actually super unique and inspiring! 

Undertale fans loved the game so much that they remade the story again and again, coming up with unique alternate universes that became so popular within the fanbase that the nicknames given to au characters are easily recognizable. 

Homestuck is cool just for how widespread and simultaneously mainstream yet niche it is. By that I mean, I have seen people joke about how there are no homestucks in their town (myself included), yet when I wore my black hoodie with a teal libra symbol embroidered on it, a teenaged looking girl actually came up and asked if it was a reference!  Heck, my love of HS is actually part of what inspired my username. To be exact, I modelled it after pesterchum handles. 

As for why it’s “fandomfriend” in particular, I just, really love talking about the sheer power of how a book, movie, show, comic, or game can bring strangers together. I adore meta commentary, and I’m pretty sure I would squeal with joy if someone wanted to discuss fanfiction tropes (I have even made a podcast episode on fandom psychology for a school project). It doesn’t particularly matter which fandom, as I think they are all pretty great, hence the nonspecific name and pfp, see?

I should probably cut it there, both for the sake of my sleeping schedule, and for whatever poor sap tries to read my sleep deprived rambling. XD

I have some art to show

Im using a different program cause my IPad won't work anymore and I miss procreate.

I RETURNED

I know it's been a while but school is KILLING me but the power of gays keeps me going and believe me it will continue to be that way for a long time even adding another couple that I love so wait for that

A major POV character having parallels with every other member of an ensemble cast, providing extensive opportunities for the author to explore the intricacies of their character from different viewpoints?

Well, I never! What next, other major characters also have parallels with one another that allow for even more dynamic interactions, so much so that the story might wrap up before we fully explore all of what they could do and say to one another?

Why, that would leave us with a sense that the characters are 3 dimensional and could exist in their world outside the story. Fanfiction could even sprout off the possible futures that an ending providing satisfying character and story arcs would allow, simply for the sheer volume of available dynamics.

is this something idk
