#this isnt fun anymore

[separatist-apologist]

hi friend! at this point, whenever someone asks for dates or updates i kinda feel like sneaking into you inbox to filter the things that get sent to you and only letting the very very positive through, anyway, i’m sending this mainly bc i see this sort of thing in all the fandoms i’ve ever participated in (specially with v active creators) where ppl ask for updates v frequently (even if politely and with a lot of good intention in their heart) and one fic writer in particular had this system where she had a “monthly post” where she would kinda be like “i may post fic x during the first week of july” etc, she did it precisely bc of all the different asks about updates, and had it very well said in the beginning that those were all maybes and not certains, so ppl wouldn’t pester about “missed updates”, kinda like a psa announcement. She also used it to keep track of her own writing, like, words per month, amount of chapters posted. It’s an organization system. Reading it all, I know that doing it may take the… spontaneity off of things, a bit. Makes the whole hobby thing more serious, and might bring anxiety as like “oh, i’m not posting when i said i would” and it might be too much work at all for something silly, so this is a suggestion? said creator (she’s actually a professional writer now!! gotta love her) ended up using that as a sort of calendar (and she had her anons off too, as well as a less problematic corner of the fandom then what we have now). oh! And she also had adhd, and overall reminds me of you a lot. Maybe you’ve even thought about this yourself? Anyway, feel free to delete this ask too, hope you’re great, pumpkin!

I know exactly who you're talking about and the way the fandom treated her was absolute trash. She deserved a lot more grace for what she gave to Reylo and I never once envied her.

especially now.

I think you meant this in like all earnest but like. This ask made me cry actual tears because when does it become enough? Last Young Renegade was updated 48 hours ago. And the chapter before that a week before. Two updates, two weeks. Twenty thousand words between them. In two weeks.

Look at the month. I completed You Should See Me In A Crown. Began I Could Be A Real Nightmare. Two chapters of Right Where You Left Me. Two Chapters of Wonderland. Five of Cruel Summer.

If the fandom wants me to create a sidebar so you can log into tumblr and see how many words I wrote (12k today) and what I worked on and when I plan to update what, then the fandom can pay me to do it. That's a JOB. I don't account for my own time at work like that and I'm not going to do it here.

Why is that even an expectation? This is my HOBBY. I update CONSTANTLY. Go look at what I uploaded in AO3 in May and June. Count the words. I've been in the fandom for a YEAR, CIWYWT was uploaded in May 2021. Like. I'm genuinely asking. At what point is it enough to just assume that I will update when I can and it's not worth harassing me about?

#some days i just really hate being here #like the response i know is gonna be a mix of #leave her alone #+ you should be grateful #this isnt fun anymore

My health has just so massively gone to shit, or maybe i've also become more of a hypochondriac, but it feels more like the first. I've been having issues with my right wrist which fit carpal tunnel and weird stomach pains which sound 1:1 like gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). My weird rib pain from years ago that no doctor ever figured out (but that is debilitating) has made a comeback, its not every night, but i'm scared as shit. Then there was my weird fever on the weekend, combined with my general ongoing long covid - what the shit, dude. Maybe this is all a side effect of long covid but it feels like my body is just going up in flames and i'm not here for it :/

#idk what to do #i have such bad luck with doctors #need me a house md type to commit some medical malpractice but at least figure out what the fuck is going on #this isnt fun anymore #maybe i should go to an acupuncturist or something idk #like it feels like this is all somehow related #but no western doctor would ever even consider thqt #at least no GP #they all suck ass #at least in germany #anyway #rant over

#I'm not really involved with sanders sides anymore but its still fun #i still think about them sometimes #the one really fun thing about sanders sides is that there isnt much plot so every au goes wildly off track from canon #like usually its only the characters who are the same and everything else is different #anyway #mispelled draws #misp draws #dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads fanart #dndads s2 #sanders sides #sanders sides au #normal oak #normal oak swallows garcia #lincon li wilson #link dndads #normal dndads #taylor swift dndads #taylor swift not that one #hermie the unworthy #hermie unworthy #hermie dndads #scary marlowe #scary dndads #dood dndads #dndads doodler #im not going to tag the sides because its not rlly them and i dont want to spam the tags

atp i genuinely doooon’t care if the old guard two is the worst thing put to film i just want to see the best character of all time (andromache the scythian) and her loser henchmen and everyone’s favorite girl nile freeman again

#its not even funny anymore WHERE IS ANDY AND NORIKO!!!!!!!!!!! it was supposed to be the year of dyke drama 😞😞😞😞😞😞 #like given the way they structured the first movie the second would have to be almost wholly original and differ a lot from the comic #like andy cant go thru the shit noriko puts her thru so im guessing the script would switch her out with nile getting tossed in the ocean #but that doesnt really work with norikos comic characterization (trying to get andy to see her point by making her go thru what noriko did #isnt something quynh will gaf about if andy isnt one of the immortals. andys become thr ‘vermin’ noriko hates!!!) #and given the end of the movie everyones chill with copley so joe and nickys whole subplot cant exist anymore…. idk maybe theyll switch out #copley with moose?? idc as long as we get their stupid car conversation tbh makes me laugh #honestly given the changes that would have to be made they probably just made a stupid movie and don’t want to release it. but I DONT CAREEE #its not exactly like the first one was that good i still mute it in preparation for every cringe needle drop like its a lame movie but its #genuineeeeee fun like i seriously do not care netflix give me my movie!!! #the old guard

Late night sketches sometimes hits diff so I work on it more. Halfway through was feeling meh about it, but I spent enough time on it, I thought I'd see it through.

#gw2 #guildwars2 #guild wars 2 #sylvari #mabaki #my art #aaaaaaaaiiihh dont even know anymore lmfao #haha lets try perspective haha isnt that fun hahah it looks so wonky haha but thats perspective right auugh idk next time i'll do betterLOL

[rebelwithoutabroom]

I feel like one big reason ppl get burned out from fandom so quickly (especially on twt) is bc of how they treat it as a job instead of a hobby like... caring so much about engagement and numbers and fighting all the damn time about stupid stuff in a place that should be abt winding down and having fun. Making connections. Whenever i see someone announcing theyll take a one day break from fandom and treating it like a huge deal i know it aint it bro

#saw someone saying they plan on leaving next semester like #my guy #just leave #you dont gotta give a 3 weeks notice this isnt a jov #if it isnt fun anymore just move along i promise itll be fine #fandom wank

[ganondoodle]

with every thing i learn about what the directors of totk said in interviews it all just gets worse huh?

the thing about the shiekah tech just vanishing and nobody caring enough to look into it was already rough and now i learn they said that -after botw zelda wondered if hyrule as a kingdom was still needed but then totk happens- just sounds like she wondered if hyrule as a kingdom still needed to exist in the way it had been (which would be an interesting change for once and also make sense for her character) and then they took her back into the distant past with the super good guy king of a godly race to teach her the lesson what her place is and that yes, their monarchy needed and good and really given to her by "gods" and what if big evil black man shows up again

i dont have the energy to get into it further but needed to say soemthing about it bc it keeps bothering me :(

#ganondoodles talks #ganondoodles rants #kinda #anyway #zelda #totk #big yt theory guy posted a video about how he doesnt like totk and was very defensive about it knowing hes swinging a bat at hornets nest #and i was surprised by that and commented on it that he isnt as alone in feeling like that as he might think #and bc its youtube theres gotta be some weirdos #so someone really saw my comment in probably 300+ comments by now #and felt the need to say that they didnt get anything from what i said other than me writing -zonai- as sonau #which i considered replying to with -other languages exist- #but its really not worth to get into a discussion with some rando on youtube #i then discovered you cant block people on youtube anymore just mute them either #also their account name had -israel- as the first word in it so #something tells me they wouldnt be very fun to argue with

[thelakesuite]

finally found the murderer music and it was the one acoustic song on a local punk band's album i first heard yesterday. somehow. anyway i guess it's albert time again

#rusty lake #rusty lake roots #i am vastly more a samuel guy but i don't listen to music about being normal #can't do much narrative fun with him #plus alby isnt even the sexyman anymore. david passed him in the polls #i'm a shrivel up old man #the chorus of that song goes 'can you feel that tension? / who do i have to kill to get some of your attention?' #and i successfully resisted throwing it into here! #album good blah blah. or should i say etc

AU where the group actually sees Sunny and Mari’s fathers words against them.

Hero using his charm and the trust in him the Father has for him, lures him into the forest where Kel and Mari using their more athletic abilities, kill him and Basil using his knowledge of the layout of the forest helps hide the evidence.

"Let's keep this between us, okay?"

#im going to assume you meant aubrey instead of mari in that second one HFNCNSJS #because i feel like mari would refuse to take initaitive and also she isnt exactly athletic anymore #yippee!!!!! anyways i had been eyeing this for soooo long #and i actually had fun doing this!!!! so thank you anon #we should kiss sometime- i mean kiss i mean kiss i mean kiss i mean kiss i mean talk-- #omori #omori au #omori basil #omori aubrey #omori kel #omori hero #omori mari #omori sunny #sunny and maris father #mikos art #anon asks #miko panta #tw mentions of murder #tw character death #Off The Dad AU
