Getting into a new ship like
*skeptical yet curious*
“oh, you like this pairing? …Alright, you’ve intrigued me”
*5 hours, a non-cannon-compliant fic, and a box of tissues later*
“Damn ok maybe LordSpeedoRat69 has a point”

Mainly aimed towards marauders fans bc I see a lot of people being really aggressive about it there but:
💫 Not liking fanon characterisation doesn't make you better than the people who do 💫
Someone changing a character to fit how they enjoy seeing them isn't a crime bc it's a fictional character
Making a character queer in canon content isn't ruining them and it doesn't make the writing cheap or stupid
You can address harmful stereotypes without being a bitch and shutting down entire perceptions of the character because it isn't usually the older writers and artists creating flawed presentations and it's certainly not all of them, you're just being dramatic and trying to demonise an exploration of a character that you don't agree with.
Reminder that a lot of fandom creators especially in the marauders and ofmd fandoms are minors. Young teenagers writing in their school break don't need to be screamed at and called homophobes or racists for making accidentally including a stereotype into the character, they may appreciate being warned about the misconceptions so they can correct them...but berating creators and saying they're all fucking everything up and destroying everything is not helpful; it's mean and they aren't going to take your advice, they're just never going to write again. If you don't like the characterisation just fucking ignore it like the rest of us.
You're a dick 🥰

Everyone on tumblr’s like, “My blorbo this, my blorbo that”, when my blorbo is actually made up of six diffrent blorbos that he has moral debates with in his living room. Beat that.

Here’s a photo of me in 2015/2016 cosplaying Derek Hale while posing with a random dog in my friends backyard to remind y’all that like Derek, I’m also a cringe-fail human being

I’m getting slightly concerned by the contexts I see people use the word twink in fandom spaces. I keep seeing ppl, mostly on tiktok, use it as a broad word for a male characters bad fanon interpretations.
And yes, oh god, I’m very aware of the fandom phenomenon of illogically feminizing random male characters while simultaneously ignoring any depth their characters have, usually the queer coded ones. But it rubs me the wrong way that people use the word twink in a demeaning way towards this broadly negative phenomenon. In almost every post I’ve seen “x becoming a twink” is the bad thing they are upset about.
Like dude, real human beings go by that term, it’s a real subsection of gay men. Let’s not start using it as a synonym for fanon which strips away a characters depth and is actually a genuinely bad thing. Lead by tumblrs example, get ur own term for it like woobification to demonize if it has to be your discourse of the week.

Alright *rubs temples*
Tumblr media
One of the biggest things that I LOVE about fandom is the way that it can bring so many people together through one interest/outlet. People share their artworks, their edits/videos, their stories, their knowledge and inventive takes, etc all enriching this one collective that begins to form because of an idea.
One of the biggest things that FRUSTRATES me about fandom is the blatant disregard for those same people and what they create. Countless times I have seen people reshare an artist’s piece without crediting them or their page, editing down someone’s edit on YouTube and posting clips of it without linking that original video/editor in any way, screenshotting a part of someone’s fanfic and posting it because “this one paragraph is so hot” without stating the title or who wrote it in the first place. The list goes on! And unfortunately we see this countless times where people aren’t giving others their flowers and paying dues where credit is owed, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why would you bite the hand that feeds you? It’s counterintuitive and honestly lazy, especially knowing it costs $0.00 and takes 2 seconds out of your day to bring credit/traffic back to that original creator/person.
I really appreciate the people that take the time to call out this behavior, make examples out of others to prove a point, and combat this through their own engagement on the internet. I know that can be scary and uncomfortable sometimes, but you are speaking facts and it’s something that needs to be done and clearly shouted on top of a mountain because people still don’t get it?? And unfortunately with the rise of social media and our growing desire for constant output and winning dumb prizes of “creating a hit post”, we step on others in the process to achieve this.
I run this Namor x Shuri blog [and have run other fandom blogs in the past over the years] where I edit and make visuals for shits and giggles, but as an actual artist in real life who makes a living off of my other artwork/profession, this can be VERY discouraging. It makes you not want to participate or contribute to fandom because you witness this incessant behavior and start to form trust issues of whether or not people will be respectful of you, your efforts/time, and your work. Let’s be real, at the end of the day the internet will always internet. People will do and say whatever they want to do, regardless of how it effects you individually. We all understand inherently that there is a risk that naturally comes with putting yourself and your stuff out there online BUT that still doesn’t excuse this type of negligence. There is still a responsibility we all have to 1. making a conscious effort to better our experience with fandoms at large and 2. protecting creatives while we promote, indulge in and support their contributions to the world [fandom or not]. Because if not, what are we doing this all for?
To the people that perpetuate this type of engagement online, STOP. You are discouraging others from wanting to share their ideas/concepts. You are pushing the same people away who actually foster our experiences and excitement with the stories we consume and grow to love. I can’t tell you how surreal it is to go online and see something you created posted on someone else’s page with no credit to who you are or what you made. I’ve seen people make edits of mine as their Twitter banners without even having the decency to ask me, take other people’s artwork and post that as their “fanfic artwork” without asking, all to promote their own story, take clips from compilation videos and post them to TikTok as if to say they edited that video themselves. It’s very frustrating and truly disheartening. As creatives, we appreciate your enthusiasm, but it’s damaging in the way that you are expressing it and you need to do better.
To the people who are enriching our fandoms with their works/ ideas, PLEASE CONTINUE. We appreciate the time that you take out of your day to do what you do. Let’s be real, without you, there wouldn’t be a fandom to engage with in the first place. The biggest piece of advice I can say to you is to always make an effort to protect yourself and your brand [if you care to do so]. Watermark the artwork /videos that you want to be credited for, post a line somewhere on your page/blog/site roughly stating “don’t share/repost my work without my permission” or “credit me if you share my work”, etc. This goes for any type of creative, whether you partake in any fandom or not. There will always be someone doing the wrong thing, so it takes a group to counteract them and do what’s right. With any positive effort, allyship is always needed. IT TAKES A VILLAGE! If you see someone posting someone else’s work and their name/site/blog is nowhere to be found, say something. It doesn’t always take a huge rant, sometimes a subtle response can be just as effective. Under a post you could say “I know right, I love that piece! [artist’s name/link ] did a great job” or “that video is hilarious! The full clip is here [artist’s YouTube/page]” I’ve even seen someone on Twitter recently do something where they post a screenshot of an artist’s piece, cover it up with emojis, post a link to the work and say in their post “this is amazing, you should check it out here”. I think that’s honestly brilliant! They are doing two things at once: sharing the artist’s work/name while also bringing traffic back to that original person. You don’t have to do it that exact same way of course, but it proves the point that there are many ways to engage positively.
Fandom is supposed to be an oasis, where people can seek and find community in their distinctive interests. It should be a place for people to be and express themselves freely and positively. The level of how rewarding a fandom can be is all dependent on YOU. When you do anything, you are always influencing and inspiring someone else, for better or worse. When your sharing someone else’s artwork, are you making a conscious effort to say who made it? Are you asking the artist for permission in the first place? When you are posting a clip you saw from an entire compilation video on YouTube, are you taking the time to say who made it or link the original video [or for that matter, not editing someone else’s fan edit in general]? When you are sharing someone’s story they wrote, are you making an effort to say who wrote it or linking their A03/wattpad? Trust me, it’s the little choices that make the world of a difference.
And finally, to the people who get it who have been doing this and are out here fighting the good fight, we see you. May your pillow always be cold, your acne forever cleared, your day always bright, the head you receive always 10/10, your gas tank always full, and you get a random onion ring every time you order fries. Your efforts do not go unnoticed and are very much appreciated. To the people who still don’t get it or choose not to and continue to make fandoms uncomfortable for the people WHO LITERALLY ENRICH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, I dedicate this part of this song to you, beloved. Have the day you deserve!🖕🏾

Hey, you!
Hey you!  Yeah, you!  Do you like cottagecore gays?  Do you like prinxiety?  Do you like fantasy aus where magic isn’t the focus, but’s just kinda there? Do you like cat familiars that spend most of the fic eye rolling over Roman and Virgil for being oblivious?  Do you like the idea of Virgil being a non binary witch? 
If you answered yes to any of those, you might enjoy my fic, ‘The Prince, The Witch, and The Magic Cat’ on Ao3. It’s mostly hurt/comfort and fluff with a side of tragic backstories and a couple of dream sequences. 
Not sure how to link it here, but if you end up reading it, then thank you for reading!
