Fandom - Blog Posts

Okay y’all with the new update out can we appreciate how hard this goes though it’s like the perfect laptop screensaver especially in its original form!

Me waiting for the meta to be busted again tomorrow: ^^^^

Been thinking (ya know instead of sleeping) on how busted White Lily will be when she inevitably gets an awakened form due to power creep. It likely won’t be for now just based on where the narrative is and how she’s still relatively good in the meta and with Holly right there along with the witch arc too but yeah. Like she’s already strong and her animation be crazy on the processing so idk how that’ll work. That’s not even touching on how that’ll work narratively.

(My opinion on that while I’m half asleep is she’ll break down due to Dark enchantress then deal with her beast).

But yeah I’m signing off I don’t even want to think about the beasts in the future getting buffed. 😅

So I’ve been thinking about the bat fam in the future and the family is gonna be HUGE especially if people are adopting/ having kids to the same amount Bruce did which means there will be drama, arguments and more. This is coming from someone with a very VERY large extended family.

I know the press will probably mess up the names of who did what too which would cause more arguments but never anyone cutting each other off because they’re annoyed but it’s tolerable plus they’ll have a turn to laugh.

Bruce also probably enjoys being a grandpa too albeit is probably that one who is awkward to get to know at first.

FINALLY PICKED MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME YALL

I’m gonna be Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way

I have only been on Tumblr for a little bit, and I gotta say, something I love about the Tumblr experience is seeing very amateur fan content of everything (and I absolutely do not mean amateur as an insult).

It is such a raw expression of love for something, to be so passionate that you create in spite of how others might judge you. To create something that is so unabashedly "cringe" to others and still be so proud of it all the same. That is so powerful to me as someone with a low self-esteem who folds easily to social pressure. God speed you brave beautiful creative souls.

am i the only one who absolutely cannot stand the fanon mha characters. they’re so annoying 😭😭

im so normal about mha

what

soooo cuteee!!!

Answer Unclear

Oh, you. No-one can figure you out. Some people love you, some people hate you, some people just don't care. You're hot, but also ugly, but also bland. You're funny, but also serious, but also a kind of weird grey zone. Honestly, keep doing what you're doing. It's pretty cool, in my option. Though a lot of my friends would disagree.

I am but a blob floating in the vast ocean of dreams! 

for my bestie westie @hayamu​ ! also, anybody else who’s up for it!

NEW CHALLENGE

1. FIRST, create a picrew using this maker, and then 2. SECOND take this quiz on how fandom would see you if you were a fictional character.  3 (THIRD) POST YOUR PIC AND YOUR DESCRIPTION IN THE REBLOG!

Bastard (Good)

You’re a bastard. A wet cat, if you will. And we love you for it. You’re a little shit, but in the good way. You are the baddest babygirl. You killed a man, but you looked good doing it. You flirted with the hero and the enemy. All of Tumblr is madly in love with you. Congrats, I guess?

Tagging EVERYONE but especially @magicaltear, @the-beeses-kneeses, @wafflesrisa, @mykingdomforapen, @marbat, @scientistsinistral, @halberdierminister​!

If I had a nickel for everytime I'm in a fandom that has a sad dad with the sad dad hairstyle, I'd have three, which isn't a lot but it's strange it happened three times.

I'd have two nickels for the sad dad with a disability from an accident and has adopted a child with supernatural powers.

Just a thought :)

A New History of Fandom Purges

On November 24th, 2018, I posted a list of major deletions of sites or of content on sites that stripped fandom of its history. A bunch of pro-shipper blogs had just been deleted, and people were nervous. I suppose I was thinking “All this has happened before…”

On December 3rd, 2018, Tumblr’s Department of Irony announced the NSFW ban. Thanks for providing this salutary lesson to The Youth and a billion reblogs to me, I guess.

Today, we have AO3 for writing. Audio, images, and video are in as much danger as ever, yet fans attack AO3 every donation drive. For those of you who forget our past…

HERE IS WHAT HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US!

This is only a small taste of the many times that:

Fannish moderators got bored, ran out of money, or had a falling out, deleting a site/list/forum along the way.

Sites got bought out and closed for being unprofitable.

Fandom got hit as governments targeted piracy or political dissidents.

Fans grudge reported each other.

Official forums got deleted when the canon finished.

It’s not always malicious. It’s not always about us. But we lose every time.

Some of these purges hit everyone. Many of them hit m/m content specifically or female gaze-y material in general. This is why antis are dead wrong. This is why anti-fujoshi policies end up being anti-m/m policies. This is why we need clear labeling, not content restrictions.

This is why we need AO3.

And it’s why we need a solution for audio, visuals, and video too.

hey yall i’m curious

examples:

angst fic so good you need to leave your room and remind yourself that you’re not in that situation and you have people who care about you

GENERAL FANARTIST APPRECIATION POST

we love yall! you’re doing so well with whatever you’re working on! don’t feel pressured to churn out work for other people!! let it flow naturally!! and if it takes like a month or more for the creative juices to get flowing again, who cares!! write/draw/animate/CREATE for you, take a walk outside, call a friend, we’re all so happy with what you’ve created, and we can all wait until you feel like posting again ❤️❤️

Chat I think we as a writing community lack in diversity.

Now I’m not talking about something like reader inserts with different genders and skin colours, because yes we do lack that but that’s another topic, I’m talking about fic IDEAS.

Things like one shots are getting kind of repetitive, most people focusing on the smut aspect of them when I think fandoms could explore so much more. And this is NOT me saying everyone’s writing looks the same, nor is it criticism on writers because I LOVE what yall do for us readers.

I’m talking about how when I want to consume something from my favourite media most of it is smut and it’s not even actual good smut that shows deep connections and trust between characters it’s just flesh out smut. What happened to creative scenarios and one shot scene guys can we bring back things like

“character x character based reader”

“Character x Reader *insert scenario*”

Where has all our creative literacy gone because half the time it feels like booktok has invaded my tumblr with their ‘steamy🌶️🥵🌶️🥵’ spice.

This isn’t meant to come off at authors btw this is just a little rant I absolutely LOVE fanfics and what the authors do for us readers it’s AMAZING just wish we had less repetition and hardcore smut somwtimes😓🫶

Masterlist.

Fandom Complaint

I really hate the Marvel Superfamily trope for a number of reasons, mostly centering on the infantilization of Peter Parker and the erasure of his actual family in favor of Steve and Tony which makes me sick, I actually like that pairing but just give them their own kid, Peter’s characters is so OOC in all those stories anyway, just go all the way and make an actual OC.

But whatever, right now the thing that pisses me off the most about Marvel Superfamily is that they’ve stolen the term “Superfamily” from Superman and his actual family. How am I supposed to look up content about Chris, Conner, Jon, Kara and various related family members if Superfamily isn’t about the actual Superman Family?

reblog if you believe fanfic writers are as valid and talented as any professional writer who publishes and sells their novels

I’m trying to prove a point

Ярохвост

Просто маленький артик

Позже планирую нарисовать еще несколько в такой же стилистике💥

Синяя Звезда

Ловите внезапный новый арт!

Я изобразила, если так вообще можно сказать, состояние Синей Звезды после предательства Когтя и то, как она теряет веру в Звездное племя.

Да, она пережила жестокое нападение, её раны уже затянулись и не болят. Но что-то всё равно не так. Шерсть стала более тусклой (хотя этого не видно при таком освещении) и свалявшейся. Былой огонёк в глазах стремительно угасает. Она задумчиво смотрит куда-то вдаль, а её разум постепенно начинает мутнеть. На груди, как предвестник скорого отречения от Звездного племени, я нарисовала разбитую звезду.

Частокол

Да, спустя месяц я нарисовала это.

Я пережила артблок и уже пытаюсь нарисовать кое-что другое. Так что не бейте, я исправлюсь!

Знаю, анатомия знатно хромает, но в ближайшее время я хочу поработать над этим.

Зайцесвет

В двух вариантах, так как многие художники рисуют его с желтыми глазами, хотя по канону он голубоглазый.

Я тоже изначально считала, что он желтоглазый, и очень удивилась, узнав, что это не так 😧

Так что выбирайте ту версию, которая вам больше нравится 👍

И не спрашивайте про 4ую лапу. Я про неё забыла ещё на стадии скетча, что необычно для меня...

Ледошёрстка

Потихоньку продолжаю отрисовывать реквесты💥

Несмотря на то, что я не читала последние циклы, история Ледошёрстки меня заинтересовала.

Возможно, когда-нибудь я дочитаю 5 цикл и продолжу читать КВ по порядку... Но это будет явно не скоро, если я экстренно не возьмусь за это дело, ахах

Одноглаз

Я всё ещё экспериментирую с различными вариантами освещения и фонами

Дальше очень хотелось бы нарисовать что-то ночное, хехе

Звездоцап и Рыжинка

Спустя 2 недели я что-то смогла нарисовать, уф...

Кстати говоря, я скоро создам свой канал в телеге, где будут точно так же публиковаться мои арты и маленькие комментарии к ним. Плюсом создам ТГК с щитпостами, ибо пора бороться со своей социофобией. Потом кину ссылку, когда закончу с оформлением.

Надеюсь кто-нибудь зайдёт туда и не будет так, как с сообществом в ВК🥲

Чернохват

Что-то вроде перерисовки панели из новеллы "Ветер перемен", но в моём стиле и с некоторыми изменениями просто потому что🤷

Вот сама панель, чисто для сравнения:

Для тех, кто интересуется моим творчеством (если такие есть):

Если что, я ничего не выкладывала, потому что сбила свой режим сна и просыпалась отвратительно поздно (сегодня тоже, ахах), а по вечерам я играла в майнкрафт вместо рисования. Да. (я жалею об этом)
