Worldbuilding is meaningless without interesting characters

#tbt when i was asked if i had any fics that were heavy on the worldbuilding but weren't 'dark' or 'heavy' like my main works #you know. my main work. the series where hope and finding your own light in the darkness are the prevailing themes. #and they specifically wanted tiirti worldbuilding. TIIRTIAS. #THE PEOPLE WHO FIGHT STARVATION EVERY DAY AND WHOSE LAND AND CULTURE WERE RAVAGED BY WAR THEY CAN NEVER FORGET. #sorry but that's just not gonna be fucking interesting you just want a field guide #and even then you won't like it because the most important and interesting worldbuilding comes from the fight to survive #sorry ill never be over that actually. what in the chronically online

can't believe this incredible author has the exact same tastes as mine

[sparatus]

I will literally joke about how I'm a hater then remember people literally have whole blogs dedicated to hating people and media and actually maybe I'm a lover who happens to occasionally dabble on criticising the things i don't like.

[sparatus]

every time I get an email from ao3 telling me somebody left a comment on one of my fics, every time I see that somebody reblogged something I wrote on tumblr, my day improves instantly. every time it makes me feel that I want to keep going. so I just want to say this to all of you who comment and reblog: I hope you know how important you are.

stories, art, meta -- those things aren't created in a vacuum. they are part of an ongoing conversation between the material, the fic/meta writers and artists, and the people who interact with what they read and see. and that's not just true for art and all forms of writing. the whole world is a big, intertextual web made of billions of voices. we react to each other and that's how we create community and art.

every time you react to something you've enjoyed, you contribute to that conversation. every time you do that in a positive way, you tell the writer or artist "I hear you and I care enough to respond." even if it's nothing more than "I love this." it means artists and writers know their voices aren't just being swallowed up by the great big void. it encourages people to keep expressing their takes on the conversation that is art and writing. it means we all get to have more of it.

all of this to say: commenters and rebloggers, you are superstars. thank you. I love you.

Sometimes I see a respected mutual in my notes and remember they follow me and I'm like. Should I apologize for what I'm doing here. But they did choose to be in my house

#you all knew what you were doing when you followed Obnoxious Councilor Sparatus Stan

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

I’m also interested hearing what exactly the ship is that you based your answer on, if you’d like to share!

(This was meant to be fandom specific but doesn’t have to be. Be free!)

#rarepair hell RAREPAIR HELL but i gotta rep my canon/oc stuff this time #sparatus/aediteia is simply Everything. #spirian and quentilea are canon x oc ships desabrudas kryterius and barrix are rarepairs #well. maybe not technically kryterius but so much of the fandom is full of freaks with badwrong takes i ignore them #kryterius is me and my 2 best friend correct opinion havers actually
