Due to recent issue with some people arguing about how ‘AO3 should have algorithm’ and such... I feel like these tweets need to be shared out more. Saw this tweets thread by chance and I had to admit it's a great advice esp on fic writing or fanworks in general.

[Edit] Also since I noticed this post blowing up, if anyone ever tell you that AO3 doesn’t have a function to RECCOMMEND fics you like to others or read other people’s fic recs on the site point them to this post.

[Edit 2] Check source for the original tweet.

[Edit 3] Not OP, but usually when ppl talk about ‘rude or demanding comments’ it usually refers to those that tend to message fanwriters to write according to what they want to be either on the flow of the plot, shipping, etc to the point of harrassment/toxicity. And that would make writing not be fun anymore for some. 

#fandom #twitter #i mean #it's not that i can't relate cos I was young once too #and used to obsess about getting kudos and comments #but new kids need to understand that there's a reason why fic archives shouldn't work like socmed #ao3 #psa #self reminder when I get concerned abt kudos and comments again #also if you really want ppl to notice your fics... you can actually... promote it? #also in response to 'rude comments' it's more on situations where strangers demand writers to write according to what the readers want and n #or demands asking writers to create something when they didn't want to #which can be excessive #that aside I don't understand why ppl are relating this with published books etc #cos then that'll be a separate issue

There's a certain CCCC summary video that we really, really like. We think it is a great video for people if they want to grasp the story more clearly, if they're confused, or if they're listening to the album for the first time.

That video being Chonny Jash and the Weight of the Mind on Youtube by W3tBl@nk3t. We think they cover it really well.

However, I'm sharing this for a different reason; they say few certain things that really struck with us until now, that I'd like to share with the fandom. Sometimes, we see people really just.. Miss the point of CCCC entirely, and I'd like to shine a light on what was said here. If you'd like to hear this for yourself on video, the timestamp is 35:57-36:45.

“..I bet we all could relate to that, they are the prime example of the side of you that suffers and the side of you that hates yourself for suffering:

The side of you that just wants to slow down and feel everything even to the unhealthy extent of not being able to do anything else(1), but also the side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it(2).

Sure, laying in bed all day every day to rot isn't healthy, but neither is boiling things down and invalidating your own emotions. Both are paths to inevitable disaster, and that's what Chonny is doing here. Keep in mind that the idea behind this album is being whole, and that means neither of these sides are entirely in the right or the wrong; this album is about inner compromise and acceptance(3).”

1.) The side of you that suffers; Heart. He is representative of Whole's emotions, he holds them. Your emotions can go haywire, especially when one's mentally ill and has no way of their feelings being validated. An emotional person like Heart suffers under the weight of crushing, devastating feelings. He wants to feel things out, have time to just process everything, even if it takes them days or weeks to get over it. It's not healthy, but feeling is what he does, and he wants to help because he knows he has importance. Solely focusing on just your emotions isn't the best thing to do, however.

2.) The side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it; Mind. Many people have been there, have wanted themselves to stop wallowing in their own emotions and just do something else, even to the point where you think feeling things out is unnecessary. This is also unhealthy, but not intentionally. Like Heart, Mind just wants to help, everything he does is in best interest. This is what he thinks will get them to move on the quickest; to leave behind emotions and focus on anything BUT that. Also not the best thing to do.

3.) This album is about inner compromise and acceptance; About being whole. Neither of Heart and Mind are right nor wrong. They have their own ways of doing things, of what they think will help their whole self out the most, but both are unhealthy despite the good intentions. They fight over who's wrong or right, when they shouldn't even be doing so in the first place. It's your thoughts against your emotions, basically; your feelings contradict your thoughts, and it leads to an inner war of sorts. This won't make things better, which is why you can't have Mind over Heart or vice versa; you'll need both of them. In the album, they are only able to be whole when they get along. They harmonize, they 'combine', they see eye to eye with each other and work together instead of fighting over and over. Inner compromise is achieved with this, and acceptance can lead them away from any disaster that there's to come.

What we're trying to say is that mental health is a large thing tackled within CCCC, and yet we see a lot of people who overlook it; thus, end up missing the point of the whole album. We see a lot of people believe Mind's perspective a little too much and treat Heart quite harshly, or the other way where people demonize Mind and say that Heart is perfect, when it's not really that in the slightest.

This is not a hate post towards people's interpretations of CCCC or how they view characters, I'm just saying that people can tend to overlook what's in the very narrative, and we see a concerning amount of people do such.

Anyways. Stream CCCC and put your Hearts and Minds in the get along shirt. Have a nice day.

In "Too Young" when Princess Bubblegum talked about how she "never get to act like a kid" and how she wishes she "could stay like this with you, but..." I started crying. This poor girl grew up in the harsh world of early Ooo, she spawned from a living wad of gum and built a house for her brother, she tried to have a family but they betrayed her and she internalized that as "ignorance is bliss." Because shes intelligent, and she's sure not happy, and they were intelligent, and they weren't happy either, atleast Neddy is happy when he's just sucking on those roots and blissfully unaware of his surrondings. Homegirl didn't have any childhood at all, even Marceline had a more carefree childhood when she was with Simon, and she grew up in the literal apocalypse with three parental abandonments. Simon kept her entertained and cared for her, but PB was protecting Neddy and scavenging for resources, on her own, just to stay alive, her entire childhood. God. People dont talk enough about how tragic her childhood was, I feel freaking awful.

#she just.......she never got to grow up properly #i hope she and marceline get a good 500 years to just be dumb teenagers together because they've both gone through way too much #funnily enough though i feel like the fandom places more emphasis on marceline's suffering probably because it's more relatable #which y'know makes sense I'm not gonna judge anyone for that I love Marceline and her childhood was tragic too. #I once saw someone say that PB living in the Candy Kingdom and Ice King living the Ice Kingdom is for them kind of like living #in their own heads. and. yeah that sums it up to a tea. everyone else go home they explained it perfectly. #poor kiddo #princess bubblegum #bonnibel bubblegum #pb adventure time #simon petrikov #marceline abadeer #adventure time #too young #lemongrab #they make me sad #cryyyyyy #candy kingdom #adventure time analysis #spontaneous analysis

Sometimes I think “God, I am just like Ed” and then I start putting him on a pedestal and make big paragraphs to say that he never did anything wrong in his life and how he’s actually just a very soft person that is hurting deep inside and needs a forehead kiss and then I look in the mirror and realize that I am in fact Stede Bonnet.

#ofmd #our flag means death #stede bonnet #Edward teach #ofmd fandom #I feel like deep down every ‘he’s just like me’-Ed apologist is just a Stede Bonnet in disguise #because let’s be real this is such Stede behavior #I am in fact such a soft person but I always wanna appear tough and cool #I have an avoidant attachment style and am dating the man of my dreams but am rarely spending time with him #because my instinct is to run away once something good starts happening to me #I am such a Stede and honestly perhaps that is one of the many reason why I relate to this show so much #like yes babe I wanna kiss Taika Waititi too only to get a panic attack and run back to the life I hate #sigh

vanitas sea creature au - inspired by camakitsune's vanven fic shriek

#vanitas #my art #oh sexy mermaid fic... #once again I love this fic a lot. trans sex related representation is so important to me #because navigating fandom can be a very lonely experience when you are trans #as it often is for me #fics like this aren't common and it made me feel so seen

As someone who LOVES a good old time travel au, and after seeing amazing fanart of kid!Mihawk i have to let it out!!

I just wanna read a time travel fic where baby Mihawk wakes up and finds himself in the world of adult Mihawk and he's like wtf is going on?

And word goes around that a kid that looks exactly like Hawkeyes and carries the same cross knife as him is roaming around this island and rumors say it's the son he abandoned to fend for himself.

And so, marines and every pirates he ever wronged come after him for revenge and the little guy is just thinking why is everyone trying to get me? While doing his best with his cross dagger to rid of them.

And Shanks, good ol' shanks could have sworn that if his old rival had an 9years old, he would know about it (also he refuses to let the bitter taste in his heart take over unless his own eyes see) so he's skeptical about the whole thing and that's the only thing that gets him to leave his hideout in a reclused ghost island waiting for whatever is his big plan to take place.

News say Red Shanks is on the move after being mia for a few years and everyone got their panties in a twist, what could have raised the emperor from the dead.

He follows from island to island because apparently the young boy knows how to avoid the marines and pirates coming after him.

Till one night, on their stop at some bar on an island that wasn't really on the plan, he sees the boy. Just outside the bar in an alley, where he went to empty his guts from the booze overfilling his body, there stood bloody faced, cross dagger in one hand, a tiny version of his old rival with a bounty hunter's body at his feet.

The boy furrows his eyebrows even more at the new arrival and strikes another pose in case the new guy tries something funny. But Shanks, drunk ass Shanks, who knows his rival by heart is a 100% sure the little guy is in fact his rival for whatever magical reason, there he stands in front of him in the form of an 9years old and Shanks giggles at that -to which the child takes great offense- and just say "hey kid, i'm a friend of your dad's, want me to take you to him?"

#mishanks #Ok so here I'm running with the fandom's theory that rayleigh is mihawk's dad #And after getting all these murder attempts on his person he's just so fckn tired of anyone that approaches him So he's completely on guard #when this red haired dude comes out of nowhere n tells him he knows his dad #Which no one did before all they did was charge at him screaming HAWKEYES YOU'RE GONNA REGRET WHAT YOU DID #And here's the thing #he may be inclined to believe the red haired guy because no one knows his relation to rayleigh #so this guy must really know his dad and he's tired of running all the time he just wants his bed and parents #so cut him some slack when he follows a random one armed red haired pirate #On the other hand the crew is equally creeped out and charmed by the little fella because even young he still installs the chills in them #How can he be as equally as skilled as he is cuuuuute #They try their best not to say it to his face because he threatens to stab them at any given chance but they cant HELP IT #it's Dracule Fucking Mihawk as an 9years old!!!! Ofc he's cute #Shanks cant fucking wait to get his adult Mihawk back to tease the shit out of him about the little version of him lol #When they got him to rayleigh he fckn cried because that's his fckn son znd the last time he saw hus baby that way was more than 30years ag #Mihawk is just confused as fuck why is his dad's grey n have much more wrinklesBut it's still one familiar face so he just sticks to him #The red haired pirate keeps telling him that he should look for him when he gets home but he doesn't understand!!! #He also keeps challenging shanks on a duel once he discovers he's a swordsman and keeps on losing #And truth be told shanks is embarrassed as fuck because it took him his rival being a child for him to win over mihawk #opla #one piece #mihawk #dracule mihawk #red haired shanks #shanks

#this is messy I know #feel free to ask me anything by the way if something isnt clear <3 #please be kind and respectful btw. this is meant to attack anyone! just to share my feelings for maybe someone can relate <3 #spop was my favorite show at one point and this is kinda how that relationship started to mud due to me growing more critical of it #as well as growing more and more uncomfortable in the fandom #I feel insanely guilty for being critical of the show #but I feel ignorant for shoving the criticisms aside #it has currently sucked out any of the joy I felt before #but 80s spop kinda lives outside of that context #it makes it safe for me #and I can at least in some way enjoy this franchise once dear to me again #she ra #spop #spop critical #again please dont be mean im already oof its been a lot #feel free to share your experiences though 💗 #vent #vent comic #tw vent #fandom culture

yes I got into 911 because of romantic buddie

but it was equally about platonic buddie, because I'd seen the 5x13 scene online somewhere, and knew that Buck was chris' legal guardian in the will despite not being blood related or romantically related to eddie

maybe this is why I'd be okay with them not going canon, because I went into it for what was already canon

(but omg I need the show to stop giving them rushed romantic relationships when each of them is right there!!!)

in my jason feels again….

#he’s like. the epitome of a hidden tragedy to me #especially with the way part of the fandom hates/hated him #idk maybe it’s cause i can just relate to his general vibe #just how he was the rule follower. perfect in every way he could be #and yet. and yet. he failed #he was always less than percy from the moment they met to everyone else #percy who has never once followed the rules but also came out on top of jason #how he was always criticized as boring or a moral less leader #but when did he have the opportunity to learn not to be? at the roman camp since 2????? #all the expectations placed on him as jupiters son that in the end he could never hope to achieve #these thoughts are probably disjumbldd and bad but yea. jason feels are so happening rn #pjo #hoo #pjo/hoo #jason grace #coming back to this cause i forgot to add my most important thought #the fact that so many readers hated him from the very beginning because he was not percy #it’s just. so devastating

I had a dream today and Shadow the Hedgehog was there but he looked like this 💀

#pretty sure he crashed into the snow in his little pod thing and once he got out #he was not very happy of having been stuck in that pod for who knows how long #the rest of the dream was FNAF related so I don’t know how he got there but he sure did exist #sonic fandom #shadow the hedgehog #shadow fanart #shadow the hedgehog fanart #smartie draws

Hellooo silly tumblr people on my browser!!! I’ve decided to kind of avoid posting about murder drones stuff, and talk about it less frequently as it doesn’t interest me as much as it did, or at least until I’m able to get some new insight on episodes or teasers (which I may come back for). I’m really figuring out what I like and figuring out what I actually love drawing besides robots!! (Though I do LOVE robots they are wonderful creatures to me, just not drawing them 24/7) Who knows, maybe I’ll start talking about murder drones out of the blue, but I think it’s good to take a break from something every once in a while! I like finding out what I enjoy most :-)

#TLDR; the queer cephalopods took away my big kooky robot fandom interest .I’m a moth breaking out from its cocoon if u will #This is a bonus pack and also comes with an AWESOME layout change .brb /silly #Also this does NOT in ANY way. Prevent you from talking to about it with me!! I don’t mind it at all!! #Wrenbles #And lest I mention it’s kind of about the fandom itself😭 like artists are awesome in fact i love my mutuals cool art abt Md!!! #(Not excluding the thousands of other wonderful artists that inspire me like REALLY inspire me so thank you for that) #There’s always problems and frankly I’d enjoy to just NOT participate or pay attention to it cause it’s like almost everyday there’s issues #Maybe just glitch stuff in general cause I sort of came to a disliking on tadc a bit too . Though I have favoritism towards Pomni sooo. Erm #anyways I don’t HATE murder drones and I’m not leaving because hell knows I’m coming back once I can feast on something Md related again😭😭 #I’ll just be avoiding/posting less about it. You’re free to talk to me about it if you want. I can’t stop you!! But it’s not my thing rn :] #AND IM SORRY THIS IS SO LONG💔💔IVE WANTED TO POST THIS FOR A WHILE
