Your gateway to endless inspiration
Fandom - Blog Posts
I just wanna know if I'm not the only Lesbian who does this. But when entering a fandom, do you ever just get insanely attached to a male character/s, and you get really confused about your sexuality but you know that irl you'd never be with a guy ever.
You ever have that one fic you wish you could experience for the first time all over again?
Well mine is Pulling My Weight by @itsthechocopuff ( Sorry about the @ )
It's literally like my favorite thing a lot of the time, I've reread it more times then I can count, and I've been following it since it was only a few chapters, it made me come to love Genma as a character, and man do I ADORE Yuki, he's so amazing and just squishable, I typically hate oc's in fics and tend to avoid ones with them, buy he's written into the story and universe so well it's hard not to love him
Anyways that's my rant for the night
not me getting jump scared by ships I hate
Like same. I’m just trying to enjoy cool are then those icky AI “artists” show up and I’m usually none the wiser without tags. People need to tag their stuff. >:(
I'm starting to see AI art in fanart tags and even when they are tagged as AI art, people in the reblogs tagged it as fanart.
Let me just say this once. I don't believe AI art is fanart. The way things are, it's theft. It doesn't count. The effort that fan artists put into their works cannot be equated in value with whatever an AI generates. The works with hours of applied skill and originality and love put into them are the works I want to praise on this blog.
So that being said, if I ever reblog "fanart" that is ai generated, please send me a message or an ask and let me know so I can delete it off my blog.
More hazbin posting cos the brainrot is real
Anyway, here's the boy with his baby boy (I needed to draw something soft after episode 4 ಥ‿ಥ)
Happy hazbin hotel day to those who celebrate (me)
Realised that I hadn't drawn my fave since the redesign and was struck with an unstoppable urge
Sailor Mars is finished
I swear each time I make one of these, my style changes just a little
Sailor Mercury 💙💧
Yes, she's my fave. No, I don't have a type
I feel like god was one of the og fanfic writers
like, he saw this planet full of blorbos, meow meows, what have you and just. chewed them up. threw so much angst and trauma at them and was having a great time
until he threw his own oc into the mix and chilled tf out
Why is she so sad when she transforms. I- 😭😭😭
when the fanfic so good you start gripping it in your claws through the screen and speaking in tongues
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…

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.
Can we talk about the obvious lack of time travel fic in supernatural? I'm totally outraged, where are the hundreds of fanfics where Dean goes back in time and fixes all the problems? (bonus point if Sam is with him)
I'm not going to say I'm disappointed, but I am. :(
Anyway, if you have time travel fic (with Dean) to suggest to me I'll take it :')
Okay but could you imagine
Sherlock going to Hogwarts durring the chamber of secrets???
"John? John, did you hear that? Another petrification! Brilliant!"
"Bloody Idiots. All of them."
"It's obviously Tom Riddle. My own Moriarty. Exellent."
"John! Hurry up! You don't want to miss the outcome. It'll be quite the specticle."
"Is Expelliarmus all Potter knows to cast? Oh wait, was that an Confundus? Well, it appears the dog learned a new trick."
He will sass all the professors, even the great Harry Potter himself.
Ravenclaw, obviously. John a Slytherin, not a hufflpuff for those who think it. He joined in war hoping to make himself useful as a doctor and prove himself, even so still killed people and continues to look for trouble after he retires. Don't be daft, it's obvious.
Fuck this person in particular, because I still have more to say that cannot be hidden away in a comment section. If you accuse me of being a J.K Rowling supporter when I’ve went as far as to burn the books I’ve had since childhood and drop life long friends over funding her bigotry by still visiting filming sights and buying merchandise I have a right to speak about it. Especially when they’re still watching the films on streaming sights and planning to watch the new series.
So here I am, addressing my need because it was so sweetly implied and not at all a condescending threat.
Despite popular belief fandoms like The Marauders have little to no connection with the main series other than the names of said characters. Taking part in The Marauders fandom brings J.K Rowling no profit, and considering the fact a majority of these characters have been used as outlets to express queer issues (and likely still will when people move onto the next big thing, forgetting about trans rights in the UK entirely) I see no issue in it.
By taking part in this fandom I am not screaming my support to a known bigot, I am simply connecting with other LGBTQ+ people and minorities who needed a template to express themselves through. The Marauders fandom is that template for me and for many.
I myself am a queer trans man, and I’ve been aware of my true self since I was 13. You cannot even imply I do not support my trans sisters, brothers, and siblings when ones in the past have given their lives for us to live now. Do not paint me to be some bigoted prick with your little question.
I’m in the UK. I’m in the country she actively harmed with her blood money. Do you think it makes me happy, to know I can’t go outside without being unsafe because transphobes take this new law as a reason to act against us with violence? No. I fucking don’t.
I’ve been hate-crimed before. I’ve almost been jumped for being myself, so don’t you or anyone else dare treat me and others like an inferior trans person for being in a fandom that has hated the author before this news even came out.
And I am so sorry, for taking comforts where I can; knowing my life has just gotten unchangeably harder because of a court bribe. I will paint characters she has no care for as LGBTQ+ people, because I fucking can, because it’s natural for me to react to this news with all the spite I can muster.
So again, fuck you and stop policing people on an online space. You want to make a real impact? Protest, sign petitions, spread the word to family and friends. Despite it making you feel miles better starting things with strangers on the internet who by the way, have no way to get the message across to J.K Rowling; if you want to spread this message over the internet gather a group and confront her- for fucks sake, even hack her. Don’t attack people who don’t support her.
ASKS OPEN!!!!
If you have a question about a particular oc or au of mine, please ask away! You can even direct a question to an oc for them to respond to.
Please keep all questions SFW!
Thank you!

What should I draw next?
1 am Thoughts:
Do Emo Wizards Wear Their Cloak-Hoods Up?
And additionally do they wear their cloaks closed. Like do 13 year old hogwarts students in their emo phase wear their cloaks the way muggle emos wear hoodies?
not to be "comment on fanfic even if they are oooold"
But I just read a pretty good fic published in 2014-2015 (you know, roughly TEN YEARS AGO) and I was like, damn this is so cool, I have to leave a comment, even if you know, they probably wont see it...
The author replied less than an hour later.
I wish I knew how to draw or make edits because I have this very specific edit of Damian Wayne to the song God Must Hate Me by Catie Turner
The lyrics go
Do you ever see someone and think "Wow, God must hate me" 'Cause He spent so much time on them and for me, He got lazy Got ample mental illness personality flaws While their only flaw seems to be is that they have none at all Do you ever see someone and think "Wow, God must hate me" I'll let 'em take accountability For everything that's wrong with me Can't hold myself responsible So I blame the metaphysical If Jesus died for all our sins He left one behind, the body I'm in Same hands that made the moon and the stars Got carpal tunnel and forgot some parts
And creative liberty with the lyrics here but I imagine it being about how being 'good' comes so easily to the others and yet he struggles so much. Especially in the point after bruce's 'death' he's questioning if he has any place in the family as robin when batman is no longer his father.
It's in my head and it plays on repeat when I'm listening to the song and I wish I could extract it from my head.
Coffe shop au this, flower shop au that.
Where the fuck is my bakery au.
Show me character A waking up at butt fuck early in the morning to open up shop, just so character B can enjoy a fresh pastry straight from the oven before they head to work.
Show me mid-fic scenes where character A and B are in a warmly lit kitchen, making bread together, and waiting for it to rise over a cup of Character A’s famous tea.
Show me a found family or actual family of bakers goofing off in the kitchen and getting flower all over their hands, only to start slapping it into each other’s faces and aprons.
Show me character A closing up shop at night, only to see character B waiting right there for them, ready to walk them home.
SHOW ME. THE BAKERY AUS.
shout-out to that episode of Spongebob where he gets amnesia and becomes mayor of a completely different town and that family guy fanfic i read years ago where meg gets paralyzed bc of peter and gets placed in a foster while the rest of the griffins are on a public trial, yall are the reasons I grew up to love bashing/groveling fics
