Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.

They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.

They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.

Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.

On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

#This is about traditional publishing but there’s pretty privilege and ageism in self publishing too #I can’t think of the last time I saw an up and coming author recording videos who was over thirty #And frankly that’s a shame #It could be that I’m not looking hard enough #but it’s more likely that algorithms are trained the way they are #truly I don’t think they should have to do any of that at all #And forgive me but (and I know it’s rich because I’m an artist on a platform) but art shouldn’t be at the mercy of an algorithm #Now there’s also something to be said about self publishing becoming easier and easier to achieve success in #And doors opening because of influencer status is real and makes publishing wider in a way #But that doesn’t mean it’s accessible #I’m not gonna plaster my health issues over the wall but that life is certainly not accessible to me! #are you healthy enough to write and make sure people on social media still want to like your stuff #are you mentally well enough to be your own pr #I’m sure people who have studied this have more to say and have said it better but this is what I’ve observed #writing #publishing #publishing industry

Its been a while now, and I've slept on it, but I'm still reeling from episode 7 of Dead Boy Detectives. Even if I can find critique in other episodes - somewhat clunky dialogue at times, a lot of exposition, the teenage drama which can sometimes get tiresome - I cannot fault episode 7. It is perfection. Its a classic Yockey episode full of symbolism and metaphor, full of layers and meaning and depth. You don't just invoke the Orpheus Myth in The Sandman Universe my dudes. That was IMPORTANT. Especially since it was invoked on the stairs to Hell - the very stairs Orpheus probably walked down himself.

There is something so harrowing about it, about the Despair of it all. About what it means for these characters. My head is reeling from it.

Not only that, but the external symbolism and the clear Knowledge of what such an episode would mean to their target audience, to a specific target audience that certain creators of this show would be well aware of, and well aware of that target audiences specific pain. The additional meta level which you can only possibly understand if you were part of a certain group of people on November 5th 2020. How the echoes of that particular event were vibrating around that staircase. How there is something lovingly carved into that episode that builds a bridge between us. There was a love letter in there, an apology perhaps too, an echo to another confession that didn't get such respectful treatment. A confession that sent someone to Hell rather than freed them from it.

To invoke the Orpheus Myth, to invoke Despair herself, there is something in that. Sure, many people will dismiss this as reading too much into it. But they don't have the same shared history that I do with Richard Speight Jr, with Steve Yockey. Two people that know all too well the impact such a scene could have.

Anyway this is mostly just ramblings as I try to get my thoughts together. Whatever it all is, its something, and it goes beyond the show itself. There is healing in this and I can appreciate that deeply.

#dead boy detectives #supernatural #destiel #the old tragedy #despair #should i put a DNI on this post for destiel antis #yes yes i should #seriously dont both commenting if youre just gonna tell me im stupid #this means something #it certainly means something to me

after who knows how long waiting for a new reincarnation to appear, taking the time to let cult dipper settle in and calm down, bills hard work and dedication to manipulation finally paid off! he gets to finally cuddle and sleep with his husband again!

You know Bill's mentally giving himself a pat on the back and congratulations for his own cleverness. Getting this flighty little traumatized guy to hold still for a hug has been a whole ordeal; it's about time it paid off!

#answers #Further tags are spoilers for the chapter if you haven't read it already #Though it could be argued that it doesn't count #Due to Dipper staying up super late before exhaustion claims him #Poor poor Dipper; he certainly went through a lot of things this chapter #He's gonna have a restless evening wrestling with emotions #One moment lying back thinking oh...well.... if Bill wanted to do something sinful it would be pointless to stop him.... 👀 Wouldn't it.... #Only for that wonderfully beautiful slogan tshirt to pop up #Almost like it was handcrafted for a specific purpose by a nefarious third party 🤔 #Goddamnit I was proud of that punchline #Meanwhile Bill out here having taken the reaction from last chapter and deciding that there's No Direct Approaching Quite Yet #Lest the traumatized husband start to REALLY freak out and NOT in a fun way #Two ships passing each other in the night and me sitting back and cackling behind the keyboard

Has anyone talked about the implications of Riku’s music in Symphony of Sorcery (DDD) being from the Nutcracker and how that relates to him and Sora?? Or perhaps I’m reading too much into it.

#soriku #I have NOOO idea what pastoral is from unfortunately so I can’t say much on Sora’s side but when I recognized the waltz of flowers on Riku’ #side of the world I started freaking out because that’s so like; LMAO ITS RIGHT THEREEEE!!! Riku is such a lover boy #The thing that makes it 20x funnier is I had started writing a soriku nutcracker AU two years ago after my friends and I watched the Barbie #version of it; anyways when I feel like it I’m gonna research the nutcracker a bit more and see if I’m piecing something together here #or if I’m reaching #Which I doubt cause I know them boys hearts sing dearly beloved SOOOO the music choices for their worlds certainly mean SOMETHING #maybe

"'why does everyone assume it's always about sex' looks at the narrator" Neil says, looking directly into the screen.

Neil really out here calling out the fuckers (cough probably twitter omg who said that-) who just think Astarion is all 'lets fuck ;}' and doesn't even try to have moments outside of that and I'm HERE for it.

Mark (the DM) asked if she had full control over the ears #but got no response as they were talking over eachother #so I'm gonna say that they don't have control #ogugoh. the small detail that I'll certainly use if I ever write something with Lae'zel in fr. #also gets me thinking about other dnd stuff for my sessions;;; hellyea #also including that although I always use } as my ) in smily faces #astarion also does this to me because its like fangs :} #a sick little smile in his eyes even

Every time I write Jax being a massive asshole in my fics I start to think “Am I going too far? Should I reel him back a little bit? I don’t think he’ll be this bad in the show” and then I see this from Goose herself

And I started going “Ok, now I’m thinking I gotta make him worse”

#Side note: the more news I get about the show the more I’m afraid of it #It’s Tumblr so tones and themes get jumbled around a lot when fans create content inspired by their favorite media #I’ve made peace not only with the fact that my ship will certainly not be made canon #But also with the fact that the show’s representation of my favorite characters will most likely not fit my personal interpretation #But my one big fear is that I will be exposed to my comfort characters going through something that’s gonna REALLY mess me up #I have my suspicions I just really hope I’m wrong #I feel like this show is going to really dive in on the existentialism #the amazing digital circus #tadc #gooseworx

DPxDC media story prompt

Okay first off, this sort of thing has been done before, but here’s a different version involving Jazz Fenton.

Popular in DPxDC fanfic is that the GIW have a media blackouts—or whiteouts, there’s kind of a difference, where whiteouts work more like… there is a file, but you can’t edit it or it may be locked out for certain users, or an edited version of events where things are ‘whited out’ like with correction paste, among other definitions.

Point is!

The GIW have a media restriction, and among these is social media, probably with certain words or phrases pinging to location restrict the post. There was probably a phase for a while where the A-Listers tried to get around it, but ultimately failed, and since they could only get information IN rather than information OUT, and possibly still a limited amount of outside information in the first place, social media didn’t take off as much in Amity Park than in other places in the world. There’s still a small local presence, but at this point it’s almost like a city wide chat room than actual social media.

Enter in, Jazz Fenton. She’s chronically behind on trends, so by the time she decides to get on social media, the GIW aren’t being as militant on it. And she has that habit of calling the ghosts by code names instead of their actual names, such as Crate Creep instead of The Box Ghost, or Ghost X instead of Skulker. By pure coincidence of her personal language use and Tucker messing with all of Team Phantom’s phone locaters for easier excuse giving, Jazz manages to dodge all the word censors.

She accidentally creates a whole online story community convinced it’s some kind of altered reality game or role playing game, what have you. Meanwhile, Jazz is letting off steam by ranting online with, of course, made up names of all the people involved. She doesn’t even notice the numbers, and that’s assuming the GIW didn’t just—region lock the ability to see them for whatever reason. The few Amity Parkers on social medias see Jazz, maybe look at a complaint post or two, then move on because this isn’t even an unusual video inside Amity Park’s social media sphere.

Heck, PHANTOM has a social media presence and he’s done several rant videos too! One particularly famous one is him complaining about keeping his boots and gloves white while being chased and one of the GIW agents actually stops and gives him advice before shooting at him again.

Those outside Amity Park, of course, only see Jazz’s videos. And she has no idea that she has an entire online presence and mild amounts of online fame. And again, almost everyone thinks the whole thing is just a fun little game, if oddly detailed.

Until, that is, a certain young man by the name of Bernard comes in. One of the few who are totally convinced this is real, he tries to also convince his boyfriend—Timothy Drake-Wayne. Who, in turn, finds it incredibly suspicious that it’s this hard to get news and posts from one random town in the Midwest.

#dpxdc #danny phantom #story prompt #not gonna lie I’m mostly imagining Jazz having to deal with people trying to cancel her #because it turns out the ghosts have preferred names and she just isn’t using them?? #she even gives Phantom a new name but it’s almost certainly an accident #she probably almost calls him by Danny and has to cover it by calling him something dumb instead #someone has to point out that if she hadn’t it wouldn’t have gotten past censorship #and no one would know #it’s a learning moment for jazz but also Tucker telling her JUST TAKE THE OUT #I actually really love media and chat fics #it’s just that a lot of them #are kind of. there’s a lot of rough ones #but there’s also so many gems out there too #this has definitely been done before but maybe not in this specific way?

unpopular opinion time: It doesn't matter what you headcanon any Ninjago characters as, race, ethnicity, and sexuality-wise, because someone might have a different idea, and that's COMPLETELY fine.

if you headcanon, say, Cole as Bi or Pan rather than Gay, guess what? Your headcanon is valid! Not everybody needs to have the exact same headcanons as each other, and that's fine!!!

Is it WEIRD to see certain headcanons that deviate SO much from the established fanon? Yes! But that doesn't mean you're wrong for liking those deviating ideas or whatever.

#u WILL get a weird glance from me tho if all the ninjago characters r white skinny generic body types or whtvr tho #I wont SAY anything but I will certainly think SOMETHING #like skinny white cole.imnot gonna FIGHT u 4 it but this is lego ninjago the show that rips asian cultures and puts them together #how would anyone be white in an asian fantasy setting... #ninjago #raine's rambles
