#reblog and let people get to know your shadowhunter opinions

[alicxnte]

ooc:// Hey there!

My name is Ellie, and I've recently returned to the world of Tumblr RP after taking some time off. I've RP'd on and off since 2010, on both Tumblr and Discord (feel free to send a request for my user name if you'd like to connect).

I am currently working on making my page presentable, finalising my muse list, and getting back to a hobby that I love.

My main focus is getting back into the swing of things, so please feel free to send memes and write cold starters or shoot me an ask - just let me know what muse you want to write against!

Edited to add: My activity may be a little sporadic as I work full-time, and have some weekend commitments. I am also from Australia, so my time zone doesn't match up with many people. I will try to reply to all active threads at least once a week, and will likely be more active over discord.

Rules and Muses under the cut:

Rules:

This is a multi-muse, multi-verse blog.

I am open to canon and original characters - I am willing to give everyone a chance, and will only deny a thread idea if there are personal issues between myself and the writer, if our writing styles do not match at all, or if I find that I have taken on too much.

I generally do not believe in ship exclusivity. There may be some ships that I don't expect and that come about due to chemistry with a particular mun's portrayal and won't work outside of certain contexts, but that's the extent - if I find a Jesse or Matthew for my Lucie, I'm not going to refuse to write with another Jesse or Matthew. (Actually, the more the merrier, in my opinion...)

As much as it feels nice to receive asks from posted memes, I don't mind if you reblog and don't send me something from it. 

My OOC tag is not a shadowhunter || ooc if you want to filter out my OOC posts.

Personals can follow and reblog my posts, but please don't reblog my threads. Likes are okay, because that gives the warm and fuzzies, but please no reblogs of threads.

I generally don't format my posts outside of paragraphs and some italics for emphasis, but if you and I are writing a thread and it'll make it easier for you, please let me know what I can do to accommodate.

I personally prefer not to use icons, but it doesn't bother me if your replies have them - so long as you don't require me to do it, we're all Gucci.

I don't unfollow for inactivity. I generally unfollow if I've realised we don't really mesh, if I realised that I followed by accident, or if there is a personal issue between them and myself.

Plotting is great, but I also love flying by the seat of my pants (insert "What was the original plot of this movie?" audio)

Content Specific Rules:

While I am open to NSFW content (including, but not limited to, violence, gore, and intimate relationships) I am aware that many people aren't. I will put all my NSFW content under a Read More, and it will be tagged.

I have no triggers, but please tell me if you'd like me to tag anything that you may find triggering so I can tag them.

If you want to write really dark threads, I would suggest we consider moving those ones in particular to Discord.

Addressing Alastair Carstairs

Hi. So, in the Shadowhunters fandom, Alastair Carstairs is an extremely controversial character. You either love him or hate him. And, I will admit, a lot of people(both who love and hate him) can be extremely toxic. And so, I would like to address my opinion on Alastair and why.

Disclaimer: Minor The Last Hours and whichever book has the Merry Thieves in the Academy.

So. Alastair Carstairs. I am one of those people who love him and think he can be so much more. He's already come so far from his Academy days. Now, let's get in to that more: Alastair bullied the Merry Thieves relentlessly, passing along rumors and insults. I don't condone or excuse any of this. You can love a person even if they've done bad things, as long as you don't pretend like they're perfect. I know he's done bad things. But I also know that he admitted to having no other choice. Either to be bullied or the be the bully. While that still isn't an excuse for the bad things he's done, it's an insight as to why he's done it. You have to admit, that if you were in his position, you might end up taking the latter option.

However, in Chain of Gold, Alastair showed remarkable growth. Down to apologizing and working with them for a greater good. At the end of ChoG, he dyes his hair back to its natural color. This, while it may seem insignificant, is such an important part in Alastair's growth. He dyed his hair because he didn't want to be bullied. By dying it, he, in a sense, became the bully. Dying his hair back to black makes it clear that he's not the bully anymore(or at least doesn't want to be). It's such a far way to go. His insecurity was his hair. As a person with insecurities galore(I'm sure some of you can agree with me) I'm proud of him for gaining the confidence to do that.

The last chapter of ChoG was hell, I'll admit. Matthew told Thomas the rumor and Alastair's participation in it, Thomas banned him from going near him and Alastair left, crying. And that scene hurt me so much. Because the time Alastair finally opens up, is willing to make up for what he's done, he's pushed away and hurt. The worst part is, it was by Thomas. The one person who supported Alastair, despite what he had done. And now that person was turning against him, hurting and pushing him away.

I, in no way, excuse what Alastair had done. I love him despite it. I love him because I think he can do better. I'm a firm believer in second chances. I think with time(since you've already seen how far he's done from his Academy days) Alastair will begin to grow into a better person, and while it might not make up for what he's done, it'll be enough for the Merry Thieves. For Thomas(also because I'm Thomstairs trash).

That was really long lmao but thanks for listening! If you disagree with anything I said, respectfully disagree. You can reblog with your own opinion, you can comment it, you can message me, whatever. As long as you're keeping mind that I have my own opinion and it should be respected just as much as yours<33

Tales from Shadowhunter Academy thought-rant

Maybe it's because I read the series out of order that I have this opinion. But I wish Tales from Shadowhunter Academy had more stories following Simon and George and the like around their training and their missions for the school. Admittedly the first time I read it, I had only read the City of series, and I was eager for more Simon and Izzy so TfSA seemed perfect and I got attached to the character since I skipped to all the Simon scenes. Upon second reading, I had finished the Infernal Devices trilogy which soon became my favorite. I loved the Victorian fantasy aesthetic and all the literary quotes between Tessa and Will, and just ahh a lot of it. Anyway, so some of the stories made more sense now I knew who all these characters were. 

However, I still stand by how I wish more of it was focused on Simon at the Academy. In the 10 stories, 4 are stories within a story (The Whitechapel Fiend, Nothing but shadows, The evil we love, Pale Kings and Princes) and 2 have a major focus on side characters to set up future stories (Born to an endless night, Bitter Tongue).

Now don't get me wrong I enjoyed Born to an endless night and The Evil we love. It's always great to see the growing Lightwood-Bane family and compare their acceptance of Magnus to The Evil we love about Robert's time in The Circle. I was so disappointed to find out The Circle graphic novel was canned. I wanted to know more about them. At least The Evil we Love gave a taste, and later Celine’s story.   I especially liked Pale Kings and Princes because of how it combines the past with the downworlder prejudice that Simon is trying to combat after the events of the Fae-Sabastian alliance and New Accords. But ones like The Whitechapel Fiend and Nothing but Shadows felt like it was using the Academy as frame stories so people can see the Infernal Devices gang again and learn about the Chain of Gold generation. 

Which is nice but.... we have so much content coming from Ghosts of the ShadowMarket, the Chain of Gold trilogy, even in the Magnus Bane. Chronicles which I'd argue is a better use of it since Magnus is part of the story, trying to help James in The Midnight Heir compared to Simon who just listens and learns relevant lessons. I guess the big reason why I want more about Simon's time at the Academy is that I actually wanted to know more about his fellow students.

George, ah, I ADORE George Lovelace. I'd give to see two whole novellas about him, he is so charming. I agree with Simon, he is a wonderful guy and could give Jace a run for his money.

But there's also Marisol Garza Solcedo. It's implied she's had a hard life, dead parents, and that she specifically came to the Academy to learn to fight. I want to know more! What is it like for mundanes like Marisol who don't have any special connections to prominent families (like Kit), just bad lives and iron wills. Like Simon wondered, what drove a 13 year old to join the Academy to potentially die by fighting demons or by ascending. And what about Beatriz Velez Mendoza whose father, grandfather, and brother died during the Dark War? Were they the heads of the family? What was it like when it was only women? She grew up away from Idris, what was it like? How did that inform her nicer perception of Downworlders/does she ever feel pressured to live up to the family members who died? Beatriz who is distantly related to Cristina Rosales-Mendoza, do they know each other at all?

And Jon Cartwright? Is there something he should be ashamed about his family as Scarsbury implied? What was it for him to become close to the dregs that he scorned so much? To fall in love with Marisol? Did he fear his family might disapprove? Is that why he dated Julie briefly before falling hard and committedly to Marisol?

And there's Julie Beauvale. We only had one scene of sympathy to know her mother and sister died, but what about her dad? She says he's useless now, what is it like to live with a dad who may be permanently traumatized or changed? How hard is it to reconcile what you thought you knew about your whole life and culture to realize The Law may be wrong? How did she finally succumb to the charm of George Lovelace (I mean, it's not hard to imagine, George is a gem after all. But I want more flirty George and even sexy George). And what about Vivian Penhollow having to make the Academy work after being retired for the last 50 or so years. Vivian trying not to let her cousin-in-law and Consul Jia down. And someone really trying to reconcile Downworlders and Shadowhunters. Sunil and Boris and the like. I wanted to see their missions, the different styles of leadership between them.

I want to see more of their personality flaws, how they handle possibly failing in archery or something, maybe some heart to hearts and those classic back to back fight poses. If we didn't have that Nothing but Shadows story we could have seen shadowhunter vs mundane baseball!  Maybe have them track or fight or something with downworlders we haven’t seen. I always wanted to see more of how mermaids are in this world. Maybe even kelpies. Something besides the big three of vamps, werewolves and fae. 

I just feel that these characters had so much more depth potential to be mined but they were sidelined in favor of stories with characters that will have whole novels/POVs in future books. I know Simon can't be observant of everyone since he has his own problems and was trying to get a date with Izzy, I understand that but maybe we could have gotten more explicit hints. 

He was surprised that Beatriz and Julie became parabatai, I was too. Cassandra wrote on her tumblr it was because "Aw, you’re so sweet! I’m so glad you like Julie and Beatriz. It was fun to write them, in that they were having a whole sromance (like a bromance but with girls!) which Simon wasn’t entirely aware of. I actually think that Julie and Beatriz weren’t that close before they went to the Academy, but that through knowing Simon, George and Beatriz, Julie’s mind and the way she wanted to live was changed forever, and she wanted (and asked) Beatriz to be parabatai with her for the same reason I think a lot of people want a parabatai… to have someone who keeps them right, to have someone who makes them a better Shadowhunter, not just practically but morally." Well, how do they do that? What does Beatriz get from Julie's harshness? How does Julie become more compassionate? We wouldn't know because as she said Simon doesn't notice, which is a slight shame because until Chain of Gold, we didn't have a female-female parabatai duo. 

Jon apparently comes to care so much for George that he cries at his funeral. How would we get that? They hardly hung out until the last story. Simon only starts noticing Marisol and Jon's relationship as something romantic in Angels Twice Descending. Well, I wanted to know more about them too. Because it was clear that something was developing beyond Marisol wanting to scare and humble Jon. When did they first click as something more? 

I knew they wouldn't be main characters, they wouldn't be saviors of the big battles and I certainly didn't expect them to be anything more than cameos. But if they'd gotten explored a little more, just for these novellas to focus on them, their deaths in Lord Midnight and Queen of Air and Darkness would become even more poignant because we care about them as characters,not just as Simon's friends. Basically I wish there was some more love for them and maybe more headcanons besides the ones swirling in my head about these unanswered questions.  So if you have hcs or ideas or want to add to the rant. Reblog and add on.

The rule is to answer the ten questions, then to write ten questions of your own & tag other people

I’ve been tagged by the lovelies Alessia and Amy (@alexauriant & @spiritinanitecap) so I’ve chosen 5 questions from each of you. Thank you very much, loves! 💖💖💖

Answers below the cut because it’s very long 😘

1. Do you have a reoccurring dream? If so, what is it?

I don’t have one now but when I was little I had one in which I was lying at the edge of a cliff made of ice and I started falling and falling... you know. I fell from the bed a couple of times after that one.

2. Have you ever told someone a secret you’d promised someone else to keep? 

Yes, a couple years ago I found out by accident that a friend of a friend was being cheated on and I promised the one who had let it slip that I wouldn’t say anything but I told my friend anyway because the guy being cheated on deserved to know (it wasn’t a one time thing and the girl was pretty awful) and he is like my friend’s best friend. I found out later that more people knew about it and I felt better about it but I felt really bad breaking my promise even though I also feel it was justified.

3. Last words you said out loud?

I’ve just asked my cat what was he doing because he was making a lot of noise. He hasn’t answered. Rude.

4. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? If so, who is it?

I get crushes on every fictional character I meet, is it just me?? 😂 I saw shadowhunters recently and the whole cast is full of beautiful people but izzy is like... yeah.

5. You see an opinion on your dash that is just so wrong it makes you wanna scream. Do you go and correct them (anonymously maybe) or do you scroll past?

I’ve been tempted to do it because everybody that follows me knows how I get riled up very fast but I’ve neved done it. BUT if someone reblogs one of my posts correcting me then IT’S ON! 

6. What is something you’d tell your younger self if you were able to?

Not to worry that much about what other people think, it’s super tiring and it gets you nowhere. Of course I’m still learning to do this but I’ve gotten better at it. 7. What was the name of your favourite teacher growing up?

Agustín. He was my literature teacher when I had 15&16 years, he was a lovely man who breathed poetry and always encouraged us to write and read more and I loved him with all my heart. He retired in our last year and on our last class we all stood up in our chairs like in Dead Poets Society (movie that he made us watch in class and analyze btw) and we said the famous ‘Oh Captain! My captain!’ and he cried (and I did too) 😭😭😭

8. If you could live anywhere in the world besides where you currently live, where would you choose?

Right now somewhere colder... I’ve always liked Canada, I probably have a very idealized idea of that country but it seems like a good place to live.

9. When you visit a new place, do you prefer to stick to the touristy places or go off the beaten tract?

A mix. At least some of the touristy places are a must visit, so I like to go to those, but I also like to wander a little and see other things that may not be as famous but are lovely all the same. 10. Which song makes you lose any semblance of calm you had whenever you hear it?

I have like a thousand of those, with every new tv show or movie that gets to me there’s a song that makes me stop what I’m doing (and try not to cry) when I hear it... here are some of those. - Lover, where do you live? - Highasakite - Remember - Seinabo Sey (shocking, I know) - Wildest moments - Jessie Ware - Bridges - Aisha Badru  - Fear of the water - SYML - Wide eyed - Billy Lockett - Fade into you - Mazzy Star - Me cuesta tanto olvidarte - Mecano - All boundaries are conventions - Tom Tykwer - Liability - Lorde (almost anything by Lorde has that effect on me, but this one especially)

I’ll tag @lallemanting @04hands @flying-elliska @lepetitepeach @luxandobscurus @surrealsunday @demauryss @demauryy @rosesunrise @lumierelovers @lifeisevak @jebentnietalleen @peoniesandsmiles @blanxkey of course feel free to ignore! 💖💖💖

And here are my questions: (sorry, I’m not feeling very inspired) 1. Favourite fantastic or mythological creature 2. Favourite place you’ve visited 3. A quote that makes you FEEL THINGS ™ 4. A concert you’d love to attend. It can be from groups/singers that no longer exist. 5. If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? 6. If you could learn to play any musical instrument which would you choose? 7. If you could make your own movie, what would it be about? 8. Do you have any special or weird talent? 9. Movie, TV show, book you wish you hadn’t watched/read because it was super disappointing? 10. Have you ever broken a bone?

Welcome to my nerdy nest of obsession!

Come on in! Take off your shoes, grab a cookie from the plate on your right (vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options available). Beverages are in the fridge under the cookie plate.

My name is Bailey. I run this chaotic-ass blog. I’m a very open, hard to offend person, and find myself being the mom friend most days. If you ever need someone to listen, or offer a second opinion, HMU.

This blog is a safe space.

LGBTQIA+ are welcome here!

Straights/Cisgender are welcome here!

Outcasts, misfits, rebels,

Punks, goths, preps, academics, and otherwise are all welcome here! (Normies, too 😉)

What isn’t welcome here?:

Pedophiles, fuck off 🖕🏻

Rapists, fuck off🖕🏻

Racisists, fuck off 🖕🏻

Abusers, fuck off 🖕🏻

Sexists and mysoginists, fuck off 🖕🏻

Anti-equality, whether for sexuality, gender, or otherwise: fuck off 🖕🏻

Nazis and white supremacists, none of you are as purebred as you think. Also, fuck off 🖕🏻

Anyone who puts others down to prove how “great” they themselves are, or to make themselves feel better in some way, fuck off 🖕🏻

Now, I probably missed some things/people/ideas. So allow me to say:

If you take away from someone else’s happiness, destroy someone else’s happiness, or hurt someone (physically, mentally) because you don’t agree with them, fuck off🖕🏻

Disagreeing doesn’t give you the right to be a dick.

This blog is an open-minded, loving, chill safe place for anyone who requires it. We follow the golden rule in this household. We do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

This means that even if we disagree with someone we stay level headed and strive for peace first (unless they deserve the ass kicking, in which case let me put my Docs on and join in).

Okay, I think that’s everything. I post literally anything that I enjoy. I both write and read fanfics and if you wanna fan squeal about something you saw on my blog, then shoot me a message or an ask.

This goes for posts that stir uneasiness. While I may not take an item down (this is my blog and you disliking something isn’t going to get it deleted. You need solid reasoning and evidence.) I will definitely hear what you have to say, educate myself on the subject and go from there.

Some things I like and reblog:

Smosh

Mayans MC

Sons of Anarchy

Shane Dawson and squad

Jeffree Star

Peaky Blinders

Lokean

Norse Pagan/Heathenry/Heathenism

Witchcraft

Musicals

Supernatural

Doctor Who

Motionless in White

Other Bands I enjoy

D&D

The Shadowhunter Chronicles

And so much more!

If you wanna know if I like something or have heard of something, hmu.

Anyway, this is the end of my welcome speech. I hope you enjoy your time here and feel safe in this space. We stan happy, open-minded, supportive chosen families in this household. Enjoy your stay and keep all appendages in the ride at all times!

Thank you, and have a great day!

(Side note: I’m aware Shane and Jeffree have a lot of hate, controversy, and craziness around them. I enjoy the content they put out and the things they produce. I do not agree with things they’ve done in their pasts or anything they might do that falls in my above mentioned “Fuck off🖕🏻” list. I believe people can change, even the worst of the worst. People of the FO🖕🏻 list are sick and societally programmed to be this way. I believe the right person, saying the right things in the right ways can educate these people on their hate. Not everyone is redeemable, but they deserve the right to try, don’t they?)

Also, I have good timing! I just hit 400 followers (407 to be exact)!

[katherine-mcnamara-archive]

itslizortecho mentioned you on a post “Shadowhunters!”

@claryadelefairchild​ fandom scares me sometimes. loving characters that most hate, or not loving what others love. it's a huge no-no most of the time that causes a stir up.

@itslizortecho  So it only let me include your first response but also I put this as a post reply because I TALK TOO MUCH AND ITS OVER 1k LONG SO IM SORRY. 

tl:dr you’re wonderful, i could never hate you or be dissapointed by you or ANYONE that doesn’t have the same faves, y’all are my friends imo I love you guys, and if anyone ever makes you feel bad for your faves, i’ll eat them. And if i ever do call me tf out @ everyone

Oh my god I feel so bad if I’ve EVER made you feel any sort of sad or bad or anything for loving who you love. I know I can get heated, and passionate and that most of my problems with characters in that show stem down to, they were used by the writers in an agenda at one point to shame/humiliate/take away, from a certain thing or character I loved. My problem with the show is mostly the showrunners themselves were anti clary, and liked a bunch of anti her posts ON THEIR FIRST DAY ANNOUNCED, so like I’ve been bitter at them for a long time.  

But I would never EVER want to make you feel like like this ever. Or anyone for that matter. I feel horrible and just know it’s never my intention. I know what that feels like and honestly? I try to be really careful, even when I don’t like characters, to either not mention them, or over anti tag things that might even be as simple as yeah didn’t like that scene, but I will use every variation of the anti tag I know  because I KNOW exactly how it feels for people to shit on your faves constantly in front of your face and not care. And like I don’t wanna hurt my friends? Or people on here in general who I’m like that one meme -sees a mutual I never talk to- das my friend lmksdjf, like again I’m very sorry. Because I think I know what posts you mean and if I forgot to tag those, because I have friends who adore simon and alec, I will literally kick the hell out of myself kjsdffkj

Oh oh fun fact though to be like positive! I adored simon in s1!! Like I remember actually crying over him and clary in episode 2 when it aired and being so worried for him like NO I CAN’T WAIT ANOTHER WEEK GIVE HIM BACK.

I also really adored s1 alec. I have a malec tattoo actually. Like those were my children and like ya girl sobbed a few times over him in like 3 episodes just saying jsdfjgf Like I got his reservations and everything and just. I also really adore some of 3x20 bar a certain scene, and I will never be able to hear bridges without crying so THANKS SHOW.

I think everything can be boiled down to I’m mad at the showrunners who listened to a select few loud fandom peeps and thought their treatment of clary, and using characters to push that anti agenda was okay. I also have been on this site in the fandom since before the show aired and seeing a subset of the fandom turn into calling for clary to get erased and sending vile shit for years. I’m just tired. I dunno if it was in the posts you saw or not, but I’ve always said that the showrunners and fandom ruined it for me. Characters I used to love that were used by both of them to push this agenda were just casualties.

And I would never hate anyone??? For loving them. I encourage it??? I think a part of me thinks if I constantly see them being loved on by my friends I’ll be able to forget the shit the fandom put me through and enjoy them.

But like I’m happy?? Genuinely?? for anyone who loves all the characters you mentioned. I try my hardest not to mention any I don’t have hella good feeling on but only because I don’t want to be bitter or hurt my friends feelings. And if I mention them at all I over tag the hell out of anti tags even when, like I said I might even defend them at one point. (when I called the ending ooc because not even alec would be okay with just leaving clary like that OR taking credit for the things she did) If I’m the least bit critical nope anti tag jsdkfjgf

But oh my god actually to answer what you said at first, yeah fandom is scary and I’m. I will literally fight anyone who comes for you for what you love??? Like we’re all different???? We all love different things and thats a good thing?? And I 1000% adore seeing people getting happy for things they loved and like my opinion don’t count for shit. I like what I like, you like what you like, and nobody better ever even breathe in your direction about it. Like. Let people enjoy what they love and leave them alone for it in 2020.  I’m sorry if people have ever done that to you D: you’re a literal sweetheart and don’t deserve any of it!

ALSO YOU COULD NEVER DISSAPOINT ME? WHY KSDGKDFKSSFGKAKLFgf MY HEART. I love you and your blog with everything in me I was excited to know your faves? I don’t actually expect or care if people don’t like who I like like at all but oh my god no  feel free to come talk to me any time about your faves,  and I am so sorry if I’ve ever reblogged anything that hurt you. You are literally amazing and I ADORE you and you love liz??? YOU’RE WONDERFUL DON’T EVER THINK OTHERWISE!!!

Like. I love playing these games with people I follow for a number of reasons, but mostly so I can make sure I’m not accidentally hurting people I admire or my friends. So like if you, or anyone who actually read this. needs me to tag certain things a certain way so you don’t have to see them?  hit me up I love y’all I want you all to have a safe happy experience and I will work on not being salty on main jsdkfjdgf

She also posts and reblogs fashion and accessories at @clothing-inspiration, and some of her cosplays can be seen throughout this post!

With us Signe talks about her passion for textile arts and how they allowed her to reclaim her femininity, the importance of non-romantic relationships in creative media, the difficulty of writing kissing scenes, and the need for works and discussions that celebrate our aromanticism. Her love of making, crafting and designing just shines through this post, so please let’s give her all our love, encouragement, gratitude, kudos and follows for taking the time to explore what it is to be aromantic and creative.

Can you share with us your story in being aro-spec?

I just sort of … never cared? I’ve never wanted to get married and have children, and I never really had crushes growing up. I partly figured that was because I was surrounded by assholes who weren’t worth crushing on, but even when I graduated and moved to better schools where I actually had friends, I still didn’t care. I’ve always had a lot of confidence, so I’ve never bothered feeling insecure about not dating. I spent a while identifying as a straight person “who doesn’t care about romance” before eventually identifying with the ace and then aroace identifiers after having known them for a while, but there was never any big moments in the journey that really stand out.

Currently, I see my aromanticism as more important to my identity than my asexuality – being aro is what I do, while being ace is what my body does – but I also don’t really see them as separate. It’s hard to put into words because it requires cementing some stuff that I don’t mind leaving fluid, but while my lack of attraction is a package deal, it’s the lack of romantic attraction that defines my lifestyle the most. I know which I would choose if I had to, but I prefer not having to. That’s the only good thing about the ace discourse: It’s made me very protective of my ace identity again after having let somewhat go of it after I came to identify as aro.

Can you share with us the story behind your creativity?

I’m the type of person who has a thousand different hobbies and therefore doesn’t have time to actually do any of them. The three I care most about are writing, drawing and textile work.

I’ve always told myself a lot of stories. Walking home from school, I would develop my stories, acting out scenes in my mind and developing huge universes. When I decided to share them with the world, it was initially as comics. I drew a lot, so I had developed the characters’ visual identities along with their personalities. While I’ve switched to planning my stories as books, drawing and writing is still pretty linked in my mind and I can’t imagine creating a character that I don’t know how to draw.

I got into textile work through cosplay, but have spread out into knitting, sewing, embroidery, cross stitch, weaving, crocheting, bobbin lace… Pretty much everything I can get my hands on, which is why I give it such a broad name. (This is part of my too many hobbies deal!) I love everything about textiles, from the look and feel of it, to how many different things can be created out of one simple material. Looking at clothes and knowing not just how it’s been sewn, but also how the fabric was made, is so cool. Creating things from scratch can make me feel like something akin to a god, recreating this corner of the universe as I see fit. A big part of my love for textile work is also reclaiming my femininity in a way that’s so different from the girly girl image I was taught to look down on as a girl. This is a way to enjoy being feminine that doesn’t force me to embrace things I don’t enjoy.

One thing I’ve realized recently is that I love the freedom to design my own work. My cosplays have moved further and further away from canon, from human versions to characters without a firm design or completely redesigning a canon design. On the other hand, I rarely feel the need to sew completely original things, and without the built in deadline of a con, I’m not very likely to get it done. I tend to rarely do the things I can just do whenever, but I’m getting better at that.

Are there any particular ways your aro-spec experience is expressed in your art?

It’s easy to spot in my stories. I have a lot of a-spec characters. The two main characters who were specifically designed to get most of my heart – Shizuka, the shy girl who didn’t know how to make friends, and Diana, the confident girl who’s never cared what anyone thinks of her – both ended up being a-spec even though I created them long before I started identifying as aroace. Shizuka is demi and I don’t know whether it’s sexually and/or romantically or if it even matters. Diana ended up being aroace because I was thinking about her future and my mind nope’d out of the possibility of her ever dating. I also made a conscious choice not to include much romance until I got interested in queer love stories and that sorta fell by the way side. Even then, I try to keep the love stories from being the only defining feature of the stories and the characters involved in them and never to devalue other types of relationship. You will never hear the term “just friends” in my work unless I’m trying to make a point about the person who uses it.

(This is not to pass a value judgement on anyone who uses that expression, but to help normalize language that doesn’t devalue platonic relationships.)

What challenges do you face as an aro-spec artist?

The recent anti-a-spec discourse has made me worried about posting about aromantic things too publicly, as aphobic comments and opinions seem way to commonly accepted these days.

Also, writing kissing scenes. What the hell. “And then their mouths squished together for a little while, which apparently made fireworks go off in their brains.” Like. What? Why does society think this is the epitome of every relationship?

How do you connect to the aro-spec and a-spec communities as an aro-spec person?

Building communities about a lack of something is always hard. Once you’ve written the first story about being aro, it can be hard to write the next one, unless you consciously try to write about a different way of being aro-spec. It’s also a hard orientation to include quickly as being single isn’t as clear an indicator as having a romantic partner of the same gender. While I follow a bunch of aro-blogs and I have a bunch of a-spec friends, I wouldn’t say I’m strongly integrated in the a-spec communities on Tumblr.

Part of it is that most content I see is validations that every sort of aro is alright. I see a lot of content aimed at people who feel bad. That’s important, definitely, but I don’t need it. I’ve always known I’m amazing, both independently of and intersecting with my aromantic identity. I’m interested in work that celebrates being aro, work that doesn’t say I’ll be happy “even though” I’m aro, but “while” I’m aro, maybe even “because” I’m aro and don’t need to waste my life on amatonormativity. At the very least, work that spends more than a sentence on reassuring me. I see a lot of content that implies the basic state of an aro-spec person is sad, and I object to that idea.

I have also recently seen a whole lot of posts about QPRs and that’s really cool! I’m happy to see they’re becoming more and more accepted, at least in some circles. I’m less happy to see them become so prominent and so expected that they start feeling like a new shape of amatonormativity. It’s not that bad right now, but I definitely got allo aces saying “at least we can still feel love” vibes from some QPR posts earlier this year. Because here’s the thing: I’m aroace. I won the lottery. I don’t need to define myself by relationships to other people.* I refuse to take another label that sounds like I don’t want friends because of people pushing QPRs to be the new norm. Again, I’m super happy QPRs seem to have become more accepted, just please don’t present them as something every aro-spec person is interested in unless we specifically opt out.

There’s also the question of what kind of aro stories should be told. I mean, as many as possible, obviously, but that’s going to take a while. But the whole deal with being aro-spec is to have less interest in romance, so too many stories that focus on the lack of it become … counterproductive? I think the Jughead comics are pretty perfect in that regard. The main character is aroace and there are several stories that’s hella important to, but mainly it’s just about him going on adventures with his friends.

(P.S. I hate Riverdale. I’ve seen two different Jughead cosplays these last two weekends, but I didn’t dare fangirl, because what if they were based on the wrong version?)

Honestly, my main way of interacting with the a-spec community is befriending people at random and later finding out they’re a-spec. It’s … almost a superpower? It’s pretty great.

* No one needs to define themselves by relationships to other people, but I imagine it’s much easier when you don’t feel the desire to.

How do you connect to your creative community as an aro-spec person?

I don’t feel very connected to creative communities, but that’s more because I’m not very good at reaching out and promoting myself unless I know I have exactly what’s being asked for. I mainly stick to one or two people I can bounce ideas off of for my different projects before I post it and hope it finds an audience. It might also be because I’m juggling so many things and don’t spend enough time on the social connections needed to connect with a community.

How can the aro-spec community best help you as a creative?

Feedback, feedback, feedback! I love it! I live on it! Telling me you like X or Y part of my work can keep me floating for days and makes me so much more motivated to keep arting! So please, check out my art and leave a comment and/or share it with your friends/followers, if you like it.

(Also, if anyone has good tips on how to reach a larger audience, let me know.)

Can you share with us something about your current project?

I just finished my newest cosplay, which is Lup from The Adventure Zone in her lich form! I had a lot of fun designing her – the podcast doesn’t have very specific descriptions and the creators encourage fans to come up with their own designs – and got a lot of positive reactions at the con last weekend. I went for a very non-human design, including hiding my face, and added a bunch of fire details to reflect her evocation magic. I would have added more, but then my sewing machine broke in the last second, and I had to finish everything by hand, so I just aimed for the basic version. I’ll be updating her for the next con and will have much more fire with me then. I have yet to finish editing the pictures, but they should be up soon.

Have you any forthcoming works we should look forward to?

My next project, one I’ve alluded to a couple of times in this profile already, in fact combines all three of my passions. I was considering cosplaying Pixie, one of the underrated students from X-Men, relegated to the background since their series ended, but I kept bumping up against the problem that her uniform was just too … generic to be fun. Besides, what’s the point of cosplaying the pink girl, and then not getting to work with pink fabric?

So I just redesigned her and gave her an individual outfit. And then I decided to redesign all of her teammates. I wanted them all to go together, but still keep an individual feeling, and I achieved that by giving them a rainbow theme when they’re together. Obviously, the next stop was figuring out a story for that to take place in, of which I’ve posted the first chapter. The idea is that they get out in their bright colors and visibly help everyday people with everyday problems to stop people from hating and fearing mutants and maybe actually making a positive change, unlike all of the superhero battles that don’t get anyone anywhere.

The project has three parts: Individual drawings for every member where I develop their outfits further, chapters of fic describing their adventures and a cosplay that I aim to finish for Genki in August, the next big con in Denmark.

You know? Most of the time I really don’t care that I’m not popular - sometimes I’m even glad because I can do what I want and no one will look at me too closely and judge me for that and I get no hate comments and such, but... sometimes, sometimes I wish I were popular. Why? Because then I would sell my stuff quicker/people would commission me and I would have people helping me with the vet bills, as our cat is still really sick and I don’t know what to do anymore, but eating rice with sauce for months isn’t really great either. I always do it, ‘cause I love him and he’s our responsibility and I would never let him alone, but yeah... just ranting a bit.

Might delete this later... (writing about the fear of death) Ya know, sometimes... I am so afraid of the day my parents will die. When you’re really young, your parents are somehow there. They’re always there and the thought that - one day - they won’t be, seems nonexistant. Like this isn’t even a possibility. But as you grow older, you realise, that one day, they won’t be there anymore. As you grow older and you discover death, it began to torment me. Sometimes I just sit there, and almost shiver and cry because I fear they they’ll be gone. I love them so much, and I don’t want to loose them. Yet, I know, that one day I will. There is no way around it. And it frightens me, it saddens me, it tears me up inside. I don’t know what to do when that day will be here. Some days I feel this itch, this urge to walk down into their living room, just to see them. As if to assure my brain or heart that they’re still there, they’re healthy, that all’s good. Some days I spent time with them, but at the end of the day it feels like nothing but borrowed time. I know I should push these thoughts away, as there is nothing I can do about it. It doesn’t matter how much I think about it, there’s no solution to this ‘problem’. It’ll stay, and it’ll get more real the more time passes. It draws nearer like an unavoidable clash. Today is such a day. I dunno where the thought came from, but suddenly it was like BAM it’s here and it won’t go away. I’ll try to distract myself as much as I can right now, to focus on the here and now, on being alive, on knowing that they’re downstairs, making noise... although I still fear the silence that will one day inevitably follow.

another ramble

Maybe unpopular opinion, but I prefer Lydia and Stiles as really good friends. They work good together, but I don’t like the thought of Stiles just pining long enough until she finally sees that he’s boyfriend material. I find the notion much stronger that he realised that it was an unrealistic crush, gave up on it, and now they’re the best friends and really comfortable around each other.

(3) Mirrors Don’t Stop Reflecting

Stubbornly In Love Magnus and Alec are two beautiful souls that both happen to be in love, heartbroken, and painfully stubborn. An angsty malec fic prompted by this lovely soul! Enjoy!

A/N: Hey, so, it's been a while, so much has happened on the show, and someone appeared in my inbox asking for an update?? Insane!! But I'm back!! I'm only half sorry for the crazy rambling in this chapter...

"No, you- I can't- Why would you even ask me such a question?" Magnus groans and creates a portal on the spot.

He'd made the decision to start seeing clients again but now, after one had asked for a spell to turn an ex-lover into a mundane, he finds himself questioning that late night decision.

Once he's more or less politely waved at the ridiculous client, he steps through the portal and practically collapses as soon as he gets back into his spare room. Some would call it running away but he calls it self-preservation of the mind. He still hasn't built up the courage to sleep in his main room because everything in there is laced with memories of a certain Shadowhunter and he can't seem to bear that just yet. It's not his fault the two of them had spent so much time in his loft instead of in the institute and they'd ended up creating their own memories attached to the place.

He knows he should be stronger than that by now but he isn't. He really isn't. Time heals wounds, yes, but it only heals the ones that can fly away from your skin like birds, not the ones that feed on the strength of your heart like leeches. Anyway, it's hard finding a way to move on when all of your usual coping strategies involve the person you're trying to move on from.

Still, he tries.

Blinking away the makeup he'd put on, he replaces it with softer, subtler colours and a sprinkle of glitter. And, of course, to finish his evening look, a glass of champagne finds its way to his hand. His hand, however, soon abandons the glass in favour of a small, rectangular omamori charm. A small, rectangular omamori charm that won't let his mind stay in the moment, portalling him into the past.

"You look pitiful," an oddly familiar voice tells him. Magnus looks up sharply, gasping but not entirely surprised at the sight of Ragnor sitting in the chair opposite him with a kindly judgmental frown on his face.

"Thank you, Cabbage," Magnus breathes.

"Why are you doing this to yourself, Magnus?" Ragnor asks, his words blunt and straight to the point. Anyone else might call it unreasonable or impolite but Magnus knows he needs to be direct about this to actually accomplish anything and he knows anyone else wouldn't be able to help him so any other opinions are, as they should be, mostly irrelevant.

He shrugs, a small smile on his face. "I couldn't stop the course of love, now, could I?"

To his surprise, Ragnor snorts in amusement and shakes his head. "I wasn't referring to the love itself. I was referring to your denial of said love."

Just like that, the small smile vanishes from Magnus' face and he bites his lip, staring at the other warlock with regret in his eyes.

"Alexander is a beautiful soul." Magnus can't bring himself to look up as he says that.

Ragnor leans forwards a little and Magnus can practically smell the magic on him. "And you, my rather soft-hearted friend, have never shied away from any kind of beauty. It begs the question: what exactly is stopping you from this relationship?"

"I don't deserve him."

"Why?"

Alec's face when realising how many he'd loved before flashes in his mind since Magnus can't forget the utter shock in those hazel eyes. "He's better off with a Shadowhunter that can keep him happy, that can age with him, that doesn't have a long history with so many different people..."

The look in Ragnor's eyes is both sceptical and dismayed but what really gets to Magnus is the sadness in his eyes. Ragnor had been many things and never failed to express his annoyance but being melancholy had been beneath him. It makes him want to list everything he's feeling and let it all out because Ragnor can be trusted and his sadness shows his concern. Reluctantly, he unclenches his fists and breathes as if they were back in the old days where neither of them was heartbroken.

"I don't know if we can go back," Magnus admits softly.

"Why do you need to go back? Why don't you, as you always have, move forwards?"

"I don't know how!" Magnus explodes and he realises how good it feels to admit that aloud.

He doesn't know. And that's the hardest part. The actual problem isn't as heavy on his soul as the fact that he doesn't know how to approach a solution. Knowing that he doesn't know is the first step he'd refused to take but now he feels a little lighter, as if there's some kind of hope for him. Naturally, he's embarrassed it'd taken two warlocks to make him take that step, but assisted progress is definitely better than no progress at all.

"Magnus, don't you think it's time to finally take those risks when someone who isn't even alive understands what you're thinking better than you can?"

Magnus wants to laugh. He also wants to cry. He ends up doing neither, his eyebrows furrowing and a small, pained smile taking over his expression.

"Ragnor, I can't-"

"When has that ever stopped you?" Ragnor raises an eyebrow, referring to the plethora of times where the two of thank have landed in heaps of trouble simply because Magnus had a tendency to stretch the rules and bend them into elaborate patterns instead of actually following them.

"I don't want to mess this one up," Magnus says softly, looking Ragnor directly in the eyes.

Ragnor only smiles, his eyes full of amusement and sensibility. "You already have, so what's the worst that could happen now?"

Magnus knows that's true so he shuts his eyes and, when he reopens them, Ragnor is gone.

Ragnor's words, however, echo in his mind. He's scared, he really is, of losing his place in Alexander's life but he's downright terrified to take his place back. He, of all people, knows how valuable a place in someone's life can be and the last thing he wants to do is take up too much room, too quickly. Especially in the life of someone who already holds a place in his own life.

As much as he wants to leave it all behind and drown his worries under expensive alcohol and outdated vinyl, he finds himself transporting every glass in his loft to a selection of bars, then somehow ending up in front of his vanity table, looking at his eyes, staring at the reflection of himself in his eyes within the reflection in the mirror.

His reflection almost accusingly stares back at him so he shatters the mirror, exhaling loudly when the shards of glass fall to the floor and scatter around his feet, the object still managing to reflect the state of his heart despite it being broken. If that's not some kind of sign, he doesn't know what is. He's tempted to just fix the mirror and forget he'd been so lost, he'd subconsciously called upon Ragnor again, but the object serves as a reminder, a reminder he never wants to ignore because there's only so long love can be ignored before it comes back to punch you in the heart.

And, as quickly as the glass had shattered - instantaneously - he makes up his mind: he has to see Alexander, he has to know if Ragnor was right, he has to find his own lighthouse in the storm of this love. Closure, he realises, is what he's really after. He craves it, and he craves it badly. A small part of him wants to leave Alexander alone so the Shadowhunter can move on in peace but too much of him needs to know, needs to know if he's right in letting go.

"Shadowhunters are always in trouble, right?" He asks himself before sighing. "I'll find an excuse to visit the institute."

He just hopes his lighthouse isn't suffering from a power cut the same way his heart seems to be.

Why canon ships suck

So! You like a ship, right?

You want that ship to become canon, but it hasn’t yet, or never will.

So what do you do?

You read fanfiction, of course!

In many people’s opinions, fanfiction can often be better than canon. It allows us to explore ships, characters, alternate universes… and sometimes we encounter authors who do it way better than the canon writers do. It’s pretty spectacular, to be honest.

Fanfiction and fandom allows us to explore the what-ifs. The ‘what would happen if this event didn’t happen, or this character didn’t die, or these two characters met who never did in canon’. It provides us an avenue to ‘fix’ what canon screwed up – well, in some people’s minds. In an age where we are only just starting to get LGBT+ representation on the screen, or in books (but only really just now, in any fair way), fanfiction gives slash/femslash/polyamory shippers a place to explore the ships that they wish were on screen – but aren’t yet, unfortunately. I know that fandom is a bastion for me in that regard.

But… have you ever stopped to wonder what would happen if your ship became canon?

In my opinion…

…and in the minds of a few people whom I have spoken to at length on this topic… canon makes the ships less fun.

They’re together. The people we shipped, the people we wrote fics about… they’re together. What more is there to write or read about? Yeah sure, you could still write some fics, especially legacy and alternate universes. But there will be far less interest in it after the fact. Fanfiction is more often than not a place to explore the ‘getting together’ part of a relationship, and once they’re together, besides wrapping up the plot… what fun is there?

Not much, honestly.

Yeah, there’s the whole fandom attitude of ‘winning’ over another ship. And maybe the canon ship breaks up and ends with someone else. That is entirely possible. But I’m talking about those ships that become canon and end the series/movies/books that way. Yep, we can be gleeful that we ‘won’. We can dance and say nananabooboo! and be all happy and whatnot. ‘Winning’ a ship war can be fun.

But do you know what those shippers have that we don’t, after everything is said and done?

… they get to keep writing/reading fanfic, and it’s interesting for them, exciting, and they can ignore the scene/episode/movie/book/epilogue (I’m looking at you, J.K. Rowling) at their leisure. When we get our canon ship… it sort of, I dunno, ends there for a lot of people.

It kinda sucks.

Actually, it really sucks.

So, you know what? I don’t want my ships to become canon. Or, at the very least, I would love evidence that they’re moving in that direction, at the end of whatever it is, TV/movie/book, that I’m watching or reading. That way I’ve got this pretty strong feeling that they’re going to end up together… but, like… they aren’t actually together.

So then I can write whatever I want, whatever I see as possible for them getting together.

I just don’t want to be spoon-fed.

So… I’m looking at you, Johnlock. I’m looking at you, Hannigram. I’m looking at you, Reylo. I’m looking at you, SSHG. I’m looking at you, Stucky/Stony. 

Basically what I’m trying to say is… that I really enjoy it when my ship becomes canon… but then I lose the fandom love for it. Then it just becomes another aspect of the show/movie/book, and not a way of life, in a way. Because fandom/fanfiction… shipping… it thrives on the unknown. Thrives on the fix-its. Thrives on the getting-together.

Once we have all that. Once we have the known, the fixes, the getting together, the wrapping up… it’s not fun anymore.

But I’m not saying I don’t enjoy when things are pointing in my ship’s favor. :)

So, let’s take a look at a few stats.

I’m not diving deep here, because there are a lot of facts that don’t get taken into account with the numbers. You have to have been part of the fandom to understand the ins and outs, when a fandom was popular, and what effect the decade it was popular in had on a ship or fandom, or the decline of a ship over a certain amount of time, or after it becomes canon (because a ship can still be at the top of the charts, but its fic contributions rapidly declined after it became canon), or if a fandom moved to another website, or was/is more prevalent on another site or whatever, etc. But the numbers are still interesting.

So yeah, this isn’t thoroughly researched empirical data, but… it’s a start.

Red = non-canon, blue = canon (I’m not outlining all of them, just a couple here and there.)

(Edit 9/10/17: Since some people have insinuated some rude things about me, I would like to clarify my stance. I went into it briefly above, but obviously I should have delved more. 

Because writers of books/tv/movies these days are still less likely to write in an LGBT+ romance, the statement that canon ships suck still holds true. As a bisexual and polyamorous woman, I know that it’s very unlikely that I will see the latter, and that it is not something common to see the former, either.

So fanfiction has become something of a safe haven for myself and others in that regard.

HOWEVER, I would be beyond ecstatic if there was a poly relationship, for example, but as long as it was done with respect. I would be beyond ecstatic for a gay or lesbian relationship, that was treated well and respectfully and not fetishized. Not there for shock value. Which is starting to happen more, I’m pleased to note (the ships happening, not the fetishizing).

Take one of my favorite ships: Hannigram. I love it. I ship it on and off screen. On the show and in fanfiction. I mean it practically is canon. I would very likely still read fanfiction even if/when they continue the series and it becomes a reality. Because I’m pretty damn sure that they would show the good and the bad of the relationship and keep it interesting.

And oh my goodness I would be beyond ecstatic if Marvel would follow through on Stucky. I think we all would be. Gah!

And like… if Star Wars would finally give me a polyamorous relationship as part of its main, or near-to, characters… it would warm my soul to feel a part of me recognized in mainstream culture. And you’d be damn sure I’d still be shipping it.

(Game of Thrones had a really good opportunity to make Rhaegar and Elia and Lyanna married, all three of them, but instead they stomped all over poor Elia and her children… my heart!)

As some people have pointed out, a lot of writers don’t know how to write a relationship after they’ve gotten together. This feels true to me. Good examples of the opposite, though, are Bones and Castle and Outlander, and even Shadowhunters with Malec, and Buffy. Usually, though, writers don’t quite know what to do with characters once they’ve gotten them to this point.

This is what I am referencing when I say I have bad experience liking ships after they become canon.

But I am SO here for writers getting better at it. Especially as they start to explore LGBT+ and minority representation. 

(And maybe part of why I don’t like canon ships… is because I am also bored with the het white ships that keep popping up… just a thought that came to me reading comments and reblogs. It’s worth considering.)

I don’t check out if the ship becomes canon. Not at all. I cheer alongside the rest of people.

All I am referencing is that the fanfiction about these canon relationships (something I typically love more than canon) seems to suffer and peter out afterwards.

And here is my response ^ that will now be viewed as “the lady doth protest too much”. But whatever.

[bughead-fic-request]

I would like to thank @leaalda for making these amazing banners.

3. What do you never leave home without?

Purse or cell phone

4. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

9. Favorite Books?

Again Harry Potter’s, the Vampire Academy books, The Last Vampire series, The Woman of the Otherworld series, Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series, anything written by Nora Roberts, Linda Howard or Christie Craig.  I also used to really enjoy RL Stine and Christopher Pike when I was younger.

13. What are your biggest fears? Do you have any strange fears?

Dying is a huge one lol and I get claustrophobic but my main fears are spiders and tornados

14. When you are on your deathbed what would be the one you’d regret not doing?

Maybe not travelling enough….

Okay… lets talk about your writing!

15. Which is your favorite of the fics you've written for the Bughead fandom?

Well I have so far only written one call Sometimes It’s Not What It Seems, which isn’t your typical ”Bughead” fic, the main relationship currently is FP & Betty (I know, SHOCKER).  It started out being a Bughead fic but these two characters just seem to write themselves.  As far as if Bughead is endgame in this fic....who knows ;).  I am a total Bughead shipper, don’t get me wrong but let’s admit it, Skeet/FP is Hot!  So I decided to take on the story no one was telling.

16. Which was the hardest to write, in terms of plot?

I think just where to take things, I usually start with an idea of how the chapter will go and it changes from there, also trying to stick to the timeline I set out in chapter one…wasn’t thinking ahead there lol

17. How do you come up with the ideas for you fic(s)? Do you people watch? Listen to music? Get inspired by TV/movies?

This one just came to me, I have read, I don’t even know how many Bughead fics on Tumblr and AO3 and it was a concept no one had tackled yet that I could see and this story just wove it’s way in my mind to the point where I had to put it down to get it out of my head.  This is my first fic I have ever written and it was originally supposed to be a one shot but here I am almost 7 chapters in…

18. Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?

Well, since I’ve only done one fic so far I can’t answer that lol

19. Least favorite plot point/chapter/moment you’ve written?

The break up between Jug and Betty is always hard but I don’t know if I would say I didn’t like it.

20. Favorite plot point/chapter/moment you’ve written?

Probably chapters 4 to 6, there are so many moments I am happy with in those but one of my favorites is the bar scene on karaoke night ☺

21.Favorite character to write?

I really like writing FP but I also have a lot of fun writing the other Serpents

22. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you've written?

Probably the deeper conversations between FP & Betty, I really like their banter in my current chapter I’m working on

23. Best comment/review you’ve ever received?

Well I’ve received a lot of good reviews and some not so good ones lol, apparently the Bughead fandom is strong and doesn’t like when you mess with it lol.  The concept of Betty & FP is definitely a hard one to grasp for a lot of people, especially the younger readers I think but I like to think the writing is good and that I am doing the growth of the relationship justice.  My favorite comments have probably been ones on how good the writing is or that I should just write a book lol and I also love it when people comment that they now ship FP & Betty, even if it’s just in my story.  That shows that I am doing something right I think.

24. How do you handle bad reviews or comments?

Sometimes I comment, most the time I don’t as I don’t like to let things get to me, plus I am not one to argue online.  If I do comment I usually just thank them for reading and for their opinion and answer any questions they may have asked.  If they are really rude I just delete them.  Like I said above, there are some hard core shippers out there and I knew there would be some backlash on this risky paring.

25. If you could change anything in any of your stories, what would it be?

The timeline, I set it in the first chapter and I am now finding it really hard to stick to since my characters are just running away with themselves lol

26. What is your favorite story you’ve ever written? Any fandom?

So far this one…as it’s my only one.  However I did write poetry and short stories when I was young, I even had a few poems published.

27. What are you reading right now? Both fan fiction and general fiction?

Currently reading anything in the Bughead fan fiction.  I am also currently reading a Linda Howard book.

28. Do you have an advice for writers that want to get into this fandom but might be scared?

I would say that if you want to do it, just do it.  If you love it then write it, don’t worry about any of the haters out there or what people might think.  I took a huge risk breaking the Bughead pairing with my first fic but it was something ‘I’ wanted to see.  Even some don’t like your story, you were brave to just put it out there, definitely braver than the keyboard warriors sending the bad comments who would never think to put themselves out there.  Writing is personal, remember that you are ultimately writing for you, as long as you are happy with it and you enjoy doing it then it really doesn’t matter what the rest of the readers think (unless of course you want to sell it lol).  I have a few dedicated readers to my story, definitely not a huge amount but as long as I am having fun writing it and they want to keep reading it then I will keep going ☺.

[tmiquotepage]

I think I’m going to start dialing back all the fandom aspects of my life. At least some of them. People are just so toxic and I don’t need this negativity in my life anymore. It would be great if people just let other people enjoy things, but everyone wants to find fault and things to bitch about everywhere they look, and I just can’t take it anymore. I’m a generally positive person and I tend to unfortunately be the unpopular opinion in a crowd of stans. I tend to like and support the things I’m not supposed to like and support, but I’m tired of pretending I don’t like people/don’t like stories/don’t like certain aspects of a fandom/like things I really don’t like just because everyone else says I’m supposed to.

-I loved the Vampire Academy movie, and I liked the casting and adaptation style just fine. I didn’t make the webseries because I didn’t like it. I made the webseries because I loved it and wished it had continued. I saw it twice in theatres, and watch it whenever I need something to laugh with. -I think book purists are everything wrong with making a book to movie adaptation (and in fandoms, tbh). Like, if a change is for the better, it’s for the better. Sorry. Likewise, though, I think a content creator’s intent should always be respected, and they should be party to the changes made in adaptations, so long as they aren’t overstepping their bounds by demanding something be kept that clearly does not work logistically on the screen. -I love Shadowhunters and their adaptation style. I love the cast. The writing could be better, but I think every episode is getting better. -I love and respect female content creators for surviving and creating their stories they did regardless of my personal beliefs on them as a person. We don’t choose our parents, and good characters don’t choose their creators. Shitty people can write good things, and good people can write shitty things. Don’t rag on people who enjoy good things written by shitty people, and likewise don’t rag on people who enjoy not-so-good things written by decent people. Let people enjoy things. -I love Malec,and I think they’re represented just fine in the Shadowhunters show. I know they aren’t the main characters, so they shouldn’t be the center of attention. I think they get a completely reasonable (maybe even more than is reasonable) amount of screentime. -I definitely don’t like literally any of the ships in Riverdale. I think making Jughead sexually driven at all was a mistake, and I think ace/aro kids had such an opportunity with him that they lost when he started dating, and a couple of the other ships feel random and have no chemistry in my opinion. They also seem to distract from the solid platform that is the script & series arc. Other than that, I love the show and think it’s a breath of fresh air in teen TV. -No, I don’t think authors are problematic for not having a shit ton of explicitly gay/PoC characters in their books, and I am really tired of them having to double back in later books to say that a main character is gay/dark skinned or some shit just because stans slammed their FANTASY STORY ABOUT FAE AND ELVES AND SHIT, their baby that they’ve been developing probably longer than you’ve been in fucking school, as not having enough diversity because, get the fuck out. That’s fake representation anyway. It doesn’t count when someone holds a gun to their head and demands they change what they created. We should be fighting for real fucking diversity. Real ace/aro characters, real PoC characters. Not added lines of action that suddenly take an originally straight character and make him/her gay or bi. Our stories. Our lives. Things that people actually want to write. Forcing people to represent us, no matter the cost to them or what they want for the work they’ve created, is shitty, and I don’t fucking care who you are. Yes, we need more god damned representation. Yes, all industries need it. And yes, it’s slowly edging on getting better. But this is not how we fucking do it, okay? Jesus. -That being said, I’m a firm supporter of feminism, LGBT+ rights, as well as the Black Lives Matter movement. When I write scripts, and when I’m reading them for my job, I always look for strong female leads, strong black women, and strong ace/aro women, and generally all three at the same time get huge marks for me. If a story is unique and has great opportunities for progression in the film industry to hire Asian actors (grossly underrepresented) or any other on-screen minorities, I am instantly intrigued, and often more inclined to pass the script on to my producer boss. -Yes, I believe you can read a kindle or a physical book and still get the exact same reading experience -No, I don’t think reading a popular book first/before it becomes popular/before it becomes a movie makes you any more/better of a fan than anyone else, and yes I will think you are an asshole if you are one of those “just wait for the movie fans who know nothing. Ugh.” people. -No, I don’t think you ever have a right to send non-constructive criticism/hate mail/rude messages to authors, or to ever treat any author/celebrity as anything less than a human just like me and you because, ya know, that’s what they fucking are. -No, I don’t think being a fan from the beginning means the creator owes you fucking jack shit because it’s their show/book, not yours. You don’t know it like they do, so stop being dicks about it. -People in film? Yeah, we’re human too. Those show writers? Real people. People doing a job. People working hard as fuck to bring that show/book to you. Fucking respect them, because they wouldn’t be here for the most part if they didn’t care about the project. -Donald Trump is a dick, and I generally don’t side with the GOP on anything, but I will never condone death threats or attacks on their lives. They are also fucking people. Sick and twisted people, sure, but we can’t start murdering them. -Life is not fucking fair. Neither is fandom life. Neither is being a woman or a minority of any kind. Fight the people who tell you these things mean it’s not worth trying in this life. Know what you bring to the table, know your worth, and fucking demand it from everyone you encounter. That’s what I’ve started doing and my life is looking 500% better than it did this time a month ago. -Lastly, if anyone ever interrupts you where you know they wouldn’t if you were a man/white/straight, etc, stare them in the fucking eye and speak over them to tell them “I am still talking. You’re time to speak will come.” And then carry on.

So yeah. Unfollow me if you want. Any obnoxious asks/messages/reblogs/comments are just going to be deleted. I’m cutting fandom negativity (and general negativity) out of my life because I’m too young to have this much anxiety caused by cowardly and just straight up rude people my age on tumblr dot com. #StopBeingAssholes2k17 #LetPeopleLive2k17 #RespectFuckingContentCreatorsandTheirVisions2k17

Dear Anon who asked me about my sexuality (and accusing me of fetishizing m/m couple),

Since I only got this kind of shit after I joined Shadowhunters (more specifically on Malec) fandom, I imagined this is about malec and not the fact that I write gay fics (for other fandom since fucking forever).

So anyway, I went through every single of my malec post to find what was it that i did/post/write that was so WRONG in your eyes...

Was it because i praised their scenes?

Was it because I am in so much awe of Harry’s and Matthew’s acting.. and I actually ‘voiced’ it out?

Was it because I am so amazed by how sweet and actually tender their scenes are?

Was it because I noticed Magnus’s every expressions and again, we are back to my amazement of Harry’s acting?

Was it because I actually feel excited at finally having LGBT couple that seems HAPPY for once?

Was it because yes, I strongly support consensual sex.. but at the same time I disagree the way some fans are harassing the cast/crew? 

Was it because I encourage people to vote for them in that damn couple contest?

Was it because i keep reblogging all the gifs/pics/vids of them with some caption at again, how I am in awe of how great this couple is (again, kudos to harry and matthew)

Or maybe~

it was because I support strong-but-also-vulnerable!magnus and doesn’t think Alec is a delicate flower like so many does in the fandom.

Dear Anon,

This may sounds mean but the truth is...

This fandom/ship is nothing special/different in the way i treat it. 

As in, I gushed about Malec the same way I gushed about everything else in my life that hold my attention/affection at the time: the absolutely greatest book i’ve ever read, the best movie I’ve watched, the best fics I’ve found, the funniest manga I love..etc... 

When I like something.. when I truly am in awe of something.. I want to spread the joy around. I will post and repost and reblogs and gush about it coz I want all my friends, siblings and followers to know about it so they too could find the same joy I found in it (i may be new to SH fandom but~ i am very active in other fandom and thus have quite a bit of followers). 

I love malec, yes.

I love the couple not because i have some fantasy about them... The ‘no sex’ scene doesn’t bother me (but I fully respect those who are bothered by it).

I am amazed by them because the chemistry.. the dynamic.. between the characters.

They have such different personality and background but somehow they matched really well.. 

As a writer, i cant help but take notice of all those little things like expressions/gestures/lights in their eyes.. coz all those that makes a big difference to how believable the couple looks on screen. 

And yes, I do think they’re cute together.

They do make me smile.

They are hot and attractive individuals and amazing couple (in the show). 

I love having their pics and all those lovely captions by fans on my dashboard.

I do admire them.

What was so wrong about that?  

See, some of you have this.. i dunno~ some kind of misplaced superiority complex going on or something.

You want people to watch/support the show

You want people to appreciate and favor your ship (in this case, malec)

You want people fight for your ship’s right.

BUT

When people actually likes and support them and naturally gets excited about them, you started throwing accusations and look down on these fans and purposely makes them feel bad. 

You want others’s support but only on your own terms. 

You harassed those who has different opinions than you or those who doesn’t follow EXACTLY the way you want them to support your ship. 

You want to dictate and control how they post about your favourite ship. It doesn’t matter to you that they are posting on their OWN blogs and doesn’t force anyone to read/agree with them, if they don’t follow your way of shipping the couple then they must be horrible and not worthy to even be called ‘fans’ (until when you need the viewer ratings of course..).

You talked about being oppressed in real world.. your opinions, choices.. your voice being controlled, silenced and discarded as useless.

Let me ask you: what the hell would you called what you’re doing yourself right now then? 

Your first ask towards me was ‘Are you a straight girl?’ which btw, showed how much a heterophobic you are... you are exactly like those homophobic except you are on the other extreme end. 

No. That doesn’t make you any better than them. 

Someone informed me that there is no such thing as ‘heterophobic’. That it’s not real.

Fair enough. 

Maybe the word itself doesn’t exists. 

But the prejudice (by thoughts/actions) that SOME of the lgbtaq members have against hetero IS real. 

I’m not saying that all heteros are saints either.

Some of them are horribly homophobic and treat the lgbtaq community as second class citizens. 

SOME of them.. not ALL. 

The same as not ALL Muslims are terrorist

not ALL Asians are a straight laced, whiz in Math student

not ALL Jews are pro-Israel.

not ALL white people disrespects others’ cultures...etc..

Point is: Stop generalizing people. 

Gay, Straight, Trans, Bi..etc.. for fucks sake, they’re all HUMAN BEINGS that each deserves to be treated as individuals

That’s it. 

No group is more special than others. 

If you are a jerk, you are a jerk. Period. 

It has nothing whatsoever to do with who or what you want under the sheet with you nor your religion/race..etc

“...If we no longer thought of them as groups, but as individuals, we would soon find that they varied in their different groups as much as we do in our own. It seems to me quite natural to say: “I do not like John Jones.” The reasons may be many. But to say: “I do not like Catholics or Jews” is complete nonsense. . . . It is individuals we must know, not groups!”

- Eleanor Roosevelt, ‘The Minorities Question’ (1945) 

So get off your high horse, stop being dramatic and LET PEOPLE BE HAPPY AND LOVES MALEC (and any other ships) IN THEIR OWN WAY. 

Sincerely,

CriZz

Open letter to the Shadowhunters-fandom

Dear Shadowhunters-fandom,

First of all, I wanted to remind you all that you are precious and I love you (seriously, I’m 22 years old and since a lot of you are younger than me I’m declaring myself your extra internet-mom, provided you’ll have me. I’m a good cook and you are all welcome on sunday-dinner, just let me know about any allergies/foods you don’t eat due to different reasons!). Now for the thing I wanted to talk to you about, and that’s the importance of being able to hold fruitful, non-hateful and good discussions with people in the fandom who view things differently than you. See, yesterday I got in a discussion (it was not a fight, it was a discussion) with @bloodyinspiredmalace regarding the malec-scenes in the new episode. They thought Magnus should apologize to Alec too and didn’t think it was okay for the apology to be one-sided. While I didn’t agree with that opinion (and, admittedly, frowned at it as I read it at first - I’m not without fault), I took a second to consider what they had written and realized that depending on where we are in life; how we’ve grown up and what we’ve been through as well as the natural element of being born differently, we viewed these scenes differently.

We ended up having a very small (but still fruitful, since I believe both parties got to view it from a different perspective) discussion regarding this and to me it wasn’t a big deal. I discuss with my friends all the time, it’s how you learn new things (and if nothing else, it’s helped me become a better writer). But I learned that some people (I don’t know who though, since they were anonymous) had been sending nasty messages to @bloodyinspiredmalace telling them to “stop attacking me” and while I understand the sentiment is to protect another person in the fandom (aka me), I do think it’s important to think about how that affected the person you sent the message to. It came to the point where they actually felt the need to contact me to apologize for “being rude” (which they most definitely were not), which made me both kind of sad but also angry because it shouldn’t have to be that way.

It’s happened so many times in this fandom, and others I’m in, that people get attacked simply for having an unpopular opinion (don’t get me wrong, if they attack people/send hate/attack the actors/are being homophobic/lesphobic/racist or just in general assholes, then they do need to be told to cut the shit, I’m referring to the people who calmly states their opinion on a scene/character and gets hate for it because it’s different), and it makes me so sad. We’re a fandom, a second family in some ways. Last year we were under constant attack from booktubers, other fandoms and even the writer of the books this show is based off of. We don’t need to be fighting amongst each other. So please stop and THINK before you send an anon (or non-anon)-message to someone: T - Is it True? H - Is it Helpful? I - Is it inspiring? N - Is it Necessary? K - Is it Kind? I’m not saying: “Don’t dispute someone’s opinion”, because I absolutely think you should do that, but you can do it in a way that doesn’t hurt the other party. For example, instead of calling them names, you could simply say: “I don’t agree with you on this......” or “Are you referring to xxxx? Because that’s not correct, since xxx”. This way, you can still argue with the person but no one is going to bed feeling like shit, and you might even end up finding yourself a new friend through that argument, who knows? :) Let’s get back to enjoying the show together, and discussing the different scenes, without anyone feeling like they’re not welcome in the fandom, okay? Thank you for reading! If you have any opinions you’d like to share, my askbox is a safe environment to do so. I won’t always agree with you, but I promise to give my opinon in a respectful way and try to see things your way :) (Yes, it’s okay to reblog this)

You know? Most of the time I really don’t care that I’m not popular - sometimes I’m even glad because I can do what I want and no one will look at me too closely and judge me for that and I get no hate comments and such, but... sometimes, sometimes I wish I were popular. Why? Because then I would sell my stuff quicker/people would commission me and I would have people helping me with the vet bills, as our cat is still really sick and I don’t know what to do anymore, but eating rice with sauce for months isn’t really great either. I always do it, ‘cause I love him and he’s our responsibility and I would never let him alone, but yeah... just ranting a bit.

Might delete this later... (writing about the fear of death) Ya know, sometimes... I am so afraid of the day my parents will die. When you’re really young, your parents are somehow there. They’re always there and the thought that - one day - they won’t be, seems nonexistant. Like this isn’t even a possibility. But as you grow older, you realise, that one day, they won’t be there anymore. As you grow older and you discover death, it began to torment me. Sometimes I just sit there, and almost shiver and cry because I fear they they’ll be gone. I love them so much, and I don’t want to loose them. Yet, I know, that one day I will. There is no way around it. And it frightens me, it saddens me, it tears me up inside. I don’t know what to do when that day will be here. Some days I feel this itch, this urge to walk down into their living room, just to see them. As if to assure my brain or heart that they’re still there, they’re healthy, that all’s good. Some days I spent time with them, but at the end of the day it feels like nothing but borrowed time. I know I should push these thoughts away, as there is nothing I can do about it. It doesn’t matter how much I think about it, there’s no solution to this ‘problem’. It’ll stay, and it’ll get more real the more time passes. It draws nearer like an unavoidable clash. Today is such a day. I dunno where the thought came from, but suddenly it was like BAM it’s here and it won’t go away. I’ll try to distract myself as much as I can right now, to focus on the here and now, on being alive, on knowing that they’re downstairs, making noise... although I still fear the silence that will one day inevitably follow.

another ramble

Maybe unpopular opinion, but I prefer Lydia and Stiles as really good friends. They work good together, but I don’t like the thought of Stiles just pining long enough until she finally sees that he’s boyfriend material. I find the notion much stronger that he realised that it was an unrealistic crush, gave up on it, and now they’re the best friends and really comfortable around each other.
