#but it goes for all fandom artists

[mello-when-hi]

So I’ve seen people lamenting the lack of new fics, how there’s nothing New to read and that they’re waiting out the days until writers resume posting. When the fics start trickling out again, show them some love! Leave the kudos, write that comment! You have no idea how much the support of the readers means to a writer, so make sure to let authors know how much you appreciate their work!!!

#the artists are what make the fandom go around #in content droughts and controversy artists of all sorts are what keep people going #and while there is the argument of making art that makes you happy #external validation goes so far #just basic recognition for the effort you’ve put into smth is so important!!

Oh, the queer urge to sit down, drink cheap wine, and rant about Scooby Doo to your besties.

#Listen #ok #Just Listen #when you have an IP that has been steadily churning out content #for the better part of 50 years #after a while it goes from ''goofy cartoon'' to ''cultural artifact'' #the thing that really fascinates me is the Scooby Fandom in particular #one of my favorite treats on Tumblr is those artists that inevitably tries their hand at redesigning the Scooby Gang #it's amazing to see all the different ways the characters can be depicted differently but still remain intact #it's like...twisting the dials of the various characteristics of the characters to different levels #while still keeping them recognizable (a thing the Velma series spectacularly failed to accomplish) #do not get me started ok I have FEELINGS about this #that are completely normal #Fandoms #Scooby Doo #Scooby Doo AU #Media Analysis

Genshin characters age headcanons masterlist (updated)

Yeah. I could give you many reasons why I believe some of the more debatable/"controversial" ones are very sensible and Good based on just freaking paying attention to context given in the game but for now I'll just compile a basic list.

#genshin #genshin impact #genshin impact headcanons #this is largely aimed at people who are under the mistaken impression that any characters have a CANON age particularly the travelers #sarah miller-crews saying she was under the impression the travelers were 15 and then correcting #and saying “actually i don't know for sure that's just what i thought” has left the fandom with the mistaken idea that that is solid canon #and it most definitely is not #i find it much easier to believe the traveler is biologically 18 at the very least #largely because of that part in one of the mondstadt quests where kaeya is openly flirting with the traveler (obviously as a joke but still #he's clearly a young adult and would not at all be flirting with a teenager as a joke or otherwise #this is also why the way lisa flirts with the traveler makes me extremely uncomfortable (and i think it's intended to) #because even though i headcanon them as 19 she seems like she's in her late 20s and that's a bit much of an age gap #this is also largely aimed at one particular artist who keeps drawing neuvillette and wriothesley and making them both look like old men #it weirds me out because there's literally a line in the fontaine archon quest where paimon says wrio's younger than she expected him to be #and neuv is pretty nimble and uses the young male adult model so idk where that person got the idea that they're in like their mid 50s #calling them both “wrio” and “neuv” feels very cursed but there is unfortunately a character limit in the tags #it annoys me that the fandom is completely blind to context and just goes “medium height model equals teenager #and tall height model equals adult" because if the medium height female characters in liyue are any clue that is definitely not the case #ganyu and keqing literally work IN THE GOVERNMENT #hu tao RUNS A FUNERAL HOME #yanfei is a freaking lawyer #they would not be letting teenagers do that #heck this is the case in every nation almost #tighnari runs the whole dang forest ranger thing out in gandharva ville #cyno also literally works for the government and is like their frickin chief of police for the entire frickin country #faruzan is a licensed professor at arguably the most prestigious university in all of teyvat #layla is literally in college and as far as we know is normal college age and isn't doing advanced classes as a teenager #in inazuma ayaka runs their clan's GOVERNMENT WORK along with her brother #kokomi and gorou are literal generals in the army #heizou is a licensed detective

#eventually everyone has to go everything has a end and even the last one standing goes away in the end #this year will be my last act in the stevebucky fandom #I'm really tired and it's going to be REALLY bad for queer stevebuckies next year #thunderbolts is going to be probably the worst era for any stucky shipper and for everyone who sees bucky as gay or in love with other men #and it's already getting pretty bad with the straight bucky shippers getting violent #they will have all the ammunition with thunderbolts and yelena against us #creators are leaving #people are no longer supporting authors and artists #people are getting tired of keeping this alive and it's going to be too exhausting to any human being to get mocked or harass #just for still shipping stevebucky after all these years instead of join the trend and ship bucky with yelena #so this is my promise #to leave this behind before the movie releases or the promos for it begins #to leave this fandom and seek for other stuff that don't stress me out like this fandom does right now #I'll miss this but i definitely WON'T miss the harassment that i suffered #that my friends and favorite creators suffered #so #enjoy what i lasts #because i I'll try to enjoy every month starting by now #thank you for everything guys

Simply because I know I haven't updated on any of my Cod stuff in like 25 years. This is my current thought process on what can be expected from me :D

Primis/ Ultimis:

I plan to have two set ocs for this group. One of which naturally is Ferris, the other OC I am working on is going to be a female, but past that I have not actually started development on her so pray for me. I also hope to start working on secondary characters important to these stories, such as Ferris' adoptive father, as well as her husband and daughter for an "Everything is fine" AU.

Motd/ SOE:

As I have stated multiple times before, I will not be continuing my mob work publicly at all. I will have characters in relation to the motd crew, such as I am keeping my Angelina Bow as a SOE character, as well as I do have a mob OC relative to my "Everything is fine" AU, but he will never be drawn in tow with the other four, and if I reference his time in Alcatraz, it will likely only be from outsider POVs as I just don't feel comfortable sharing the mob crew anymore, including him.

But again, Angelina Bow will be fleshed out as a full SOE character along with her daughter (Who is NOT Finn's child, but is actually the child of my mob oc lmao. Once again only canon in my AU.) As well as Relle to be the secondary OC here as she was planned to be from the start.

#spengs speaks #this is not to say at all that i am quitting any of my current One Piece stuff #i just have so much on my plate with my op ocs i need to take breaks with other fandoms which is why im tryna focus on codz and Ghostbuster #because i do have two full pirate crews to design as well as a ton of marines and i am the worlds slowest artist #and just a heads up that almost all of my codz stuff is relevant to my Ghostbusters stuff so you will see crossovers because of it #like Ferris is Peter Venkmans grandma on his mothers side as well as Relle is literally Shandor's wife before he goes mad after WW1 #the GB stuff is only relevant to the “Everything is fine” AU btw that is the whole point of that AU pfft

[bandzboy]

honestly i’ve been saying this! it’s sad how everything is summed up to charts and numbers and who is on top 10 billboard and not the songs themselves

#i also feel like stan twt culture makes everything ten times worse for artists #some people are on these fandoms and hate the artists #they just wanna have discourse and hate on them #some people still care about discussing music #but it’s very rare for me to see that nowadays #all i see is people hating on the artists and caring about charts in an unhealthy way #this goes for both western and kpop industry #bc let me not even get started on the later #but yeah in terms of creativity making music to chart is very limiting #and this is something i have discussed with my teachers and colleagues in music production #it’s honestly limiting and not good to solely care about what the public wants #you can care but at the end of the day you should do want you want #i also know there’s a pressure from labels for artists to chart #but honestly that’s something that should stop because #this whole pressure to make money literally burns out anyone #that is a musician/producer/songwriter #tris.txt

[ladsofsorrow24]

my criteria for a ship to be obsessed with is always "if it inspire me to think, ponder, imagine, then that's my favorite ship"

that's why i usually don't really like canon ships because most of them don't inspire me to imagine things for them, the author had already provided it for me, the audience

(doesn't mean i hate them tho, i just don't find them that interesting to me as an artist)

#this is me thinking about how some of my friends who like yoshiden told me akiden is boring... #like... yeah TO YOU i guess but akiden is that ship that made me ponder all day long... even more than yoshiden #so to me i actually think yoshiden is the boring one because fujimoto already put it there in the manga #they don't inspire me much compared to the very cruel nature of akiden #also why at times i got really weird urge to draw makiden because i keep thinking how there's a lot of things that can happen between them #which frightens yet also excites me as an artist hehe #but yeah this doesn't just apply to chainsaw man but all the fandom i'm in #if the authors say a ship is canon usually i just feel very indifferent about em #but when the author ended the ship abruptly or somehow didn't explain anything about the evolution of certain character's relationships #my brain just goes haywire #but it also need to make me very emotionally attached to them and the story or it doesn't work #tmi tag

[the-unfortunate-mpdg]

it's really funny whenever people talk about the randy shrine girl (aka norah) and think she's like some crazy entity but i've literally had conversations with her and she is, by far, one of the most normal people i've met online

#taffytalks #we had the conversation on PONYTOWN too #but we talked a lot about media we liked and our thoughts on how the internet views fandom and stuff like that #she said she was posted on consumerism cringe on twt but she only buys from etsy/local artists when she can #so really all that money for the shrine goes to artists and not like. matt and trey and whoever else works on south park #you know it is crazy to dedicate an entire room to a south park character but she's still one of the nicest people i've met online #seemingly normal internet denizens have treated me worse so #also she's very nuanced in her interests which i think a lot of people refuse to be #also she's a lesbian which gets overlooked a lot

[purplehoodie09]

Dude i could NEVER be the creator of anything with a fandom because you bet i would absolutely go on twitter (cause im contractually obligated to) and just make every headcanon i like canon

#fandom #i think about this quite a bit #i think more indie creators should actually just be the queer artsy kids developing their ocverses #ocverse #oc #ive also been thinking about dana terrace and toh because of course i am so this is #yeah #i am infact one of the artists who just goes ahead and makes all of my characters gay with my gay little magic #its very fun being god #*makes some sort of media while working with a big company because i have no choice* #also me on my secret tumblr account that no one's quite sure its me or not: hey btw all of the characters are lgbt asf #im the creator and i said so #except its not just tumblr a meme

[helianskies]

block button lookin so fine rn

#im seeing an influx of Things #that. tho general comments. just make me feel like im somehow an inadequate member of fandom #as if im not doing something right and that's so funny like 'lmao why r u even here ur not doing it right' #people can have their opinions #that goes both ways #but if no harm is being done #can we maybe not bitch about people just doing their thing in their own corner. a corner you don't even fucking touch #goes for shipping goes for content goes for aus goes for all of it #fandom stops being fun when everyone starts complaining about other people #thats how you demotivate and lose creators and artists #i just want this to be as negative-free a space as possible #that's what i need my fandom experience to be #because without fandom community there's no point in me writing anything #but lose the community and lose the compassion. and what the fuck am i doing with my life? #im just existing in what feels like a fucking pit of vipers #days like these are the days that make me want to delete things so badly. so so badly #feel like there's just so much shit flying around these days... cant please anyone.... #no i shouldnt let it get to me #easier said than done #she just started her period and everything is personal #but that's what happens when everyone thinks theyre the dogs bollocks and an authority on something #uuuuuu.. #to delete later

[aboutmetamorphosis]

this shit is so fake i’m 🤬

#i’m not sure what you want me to say to that luv? #like you do know what being closeted means/what it entails right #closeted people have to perform their closets sometimes #and supporting a closeted artist/closeted individuals in general means being respectful and understanding of that #harry is in a place he’s never been before in his career #he’s never been more famous more relevant and consequently more visible #so i think it’s helpful to understand that while this is a bearding situation #it is also a hollywood pr relationship™️ #hence all the synchronized promo that happened these past few months and now this big photo op on release day #and if you don’t believe it’s real then why get mad when it looks fake/staged yk what i mean? #idk man i’m really not here to tell anyone how they should feel or think about things #but it does bother me that there's such a severe lack of nuance when it comes to this fandom and interpreting what goes on bts #everyone acts like we know the full story when we don’t and probably never will #personally i choose to believe that harry (and louis) know what’s best for them better than anyone else #and are choosing the best path forward #and all we can do is wish them the best and trust that they’re doing alright #so tldr; i be chilling 🦦 #ask

[bumbleblurr]

listen I think bulkhead is far MORE Boyfriend Material than most of the tfa cast but I doubt the majority of the fandom is ready for that conversation

#i admit i do obsess over the 3 out of 6 main guys the fandom goes crazy over #(the 6 main guys being bee‚ b1urr‚ shocks‚ megs‚ op‚ & blitz) #but in my defense. i only would want to kiss bee and thats it the other 2 i like to chop into pieces and cook them in a stir fry #bulkhead though is by far more hunka hunka burning love than all these losers #more hubba hubba even akdgdldhdlhffl #he goes so unappreciated tho including by myself i dont post any of my drawings of him :[ #i think maybe its bc the writers dont. Bother giving him a huge struggle or anything so ppl dont get as invested in him #which could have Definitely been done bc bulkhead had this whole thing in the first ep #where hes like ''im not a brainless brute!! i have a sensitive side too!'' #though they. resolve that by ''forget sensitive smashing stuff is fun'' bc this is a show for little boys in the early 2000s #oh wait did i say first ep i meant like the. 3rd ep ig #ok anyway #they do?? kinda touch on it again in later episodes here and there like the dinobots ep but its never. #Really Explored as much as i think it could have. #bc honestly i Love the arc bulkhead goes though where he goes to art #to express himself & kinda try to prove to the world that theres more depth to him than just The Big Guy #but they use it to be like ''BULKHEAD SUCKS AT ART LMAO!!! look at everybody making fun of bulkhead bc isnt it SOOOO funny'' #like its not :[ but again this is a boys cartoon from the early 2000s idk what i was expecting #i think if it were made later it would have tackled that a lot better #and Actually have bulkhead being an artist be smth a lot more meaningful #idk maybe thats like me as a sappy artist though #at least the little kernels of a well crafted compelling bulkhead focused narrative are there. they just never put them in the ground #ogh maybe i should start obsessing over bulkhead and do the shit canon failed him on #this is how bulkhead lovers can win #i'll singlehandedly convince everyone that man is kissable (/j i dont actually think i have that skill to do that) #🐝 could you repeat the last part? 🟦

[tinyfantasminha]

Idk if you want anything else to be said about what happened, and im sorry if you don't you can just ignore this no hard feelings :), but as a potential final thought, another excuse these people use is "education". But like what they're doing isn't education. Education is when you explain to others why what someone did was harmful, as well as explaining why what they did was harmful as well. It is NOT blatantly going after someone and not saying anything constructive at all

The worst part is is that I get why people like them are so aggressive. As someone who's part of minority groups I understand the anger that comes when someone is so ignorant (for lack of a better word) of their own actions. Especially since its 2022 and so many people everywhere still have to face with blatant bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. People are done trying to be nice when explaining to others why saying or doing certain things are bad. Yet this will only be used as fuel by hateful people to hate us more

Also going back to half a decade or more to find a problematic thing someone did when they were younger and had less knowledge/experience?? Why?? Why would anyone be THAT obsessed with someone to the point they go back 5+ years into someones history online?? Why is it so hard for some to understand that as time goes on people change, they learn and they grow? Unless the person has been repeating the same mistake over and over or they don't understand what they did as harmful and brush of the criticism, I don't see why people constantly insist on "Person A has done this in the past and I don't think they've changed" mindset. If someone really bothers them that badly despite change and apologies then at that point just block them and ask your mutuals to do the same. Idk why its so hard for some to do

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#this is the last time im gonna post about the issue bc the artist said they dont want this to become a huge issue so I need to respect it #but this is RLLY IMPORTANT because it goes to ALL fandoms #thank you everyone who shared their thoughts <3 #discourse #answered ask

[yousaytomato]

people who post their art on this app, I am begging you to have a tag you use just for your art, especially if you ever post anything but your art to your blog

preferably, a tag completely custom to you so that it can be searched in the general search, but even "my art" is a good start !!

So often I navigate to someone's blog because I really like something they made, but I can't find anything else because each post is only tagged by individual fandom and nothing else !

searching Tumblr tags is temperamental at best but, I can't even attempt to search for something that isn't there! Just [username]art works perfectly! Please I want to see your art!!

#i end up having to go through all the fandom posts or just searching #'art' but then you're getting at best maybe 25% pieces by the blog owner. on your average blog #i hope this doesn't sound like. patronising or moany i just want to see your art!! #popular posts works but. then you're just promoting the ones that are already popular!! #and ones with not many notes are going to stay hidden ! please !! #useful for you as well! to be able to go back and easily see your old art !! #woes of emily #art #artists on tumblr #this also goes for creators of any kind but i have been noticing it most often with artists

[devilishdelights]

they rlly do need 2 come up with something like twitter for artists bc like. nothing else works. tumblr doesn’t and instagram just sucks ass

#i’ve been plugging inkblot 2 all my friends bc it looks very promising!!! #but yk there’s like. it’s different w what twitter was #i guesssss instagram is the next best thing but i hate it so much it’s such a dog ass app #n the twitter copy site is using ai to fuck over artists isn’t it???? #smth like that #n u gotta get a whole ass invite #tumblr is my favorite social media bc it’s just comfortable 2 me. but it’s not twitter level stuff for recognition/job search etc #like i can’t rlly build up shit here. also bc it’s tumblr and i say shit i don’t want connected to somewhat professional shit LOL #oh and!! tumblr is fandom focused. so fanart goes well but ocs and your own personal stuff doesn’t
