omg I need your thoughts on the terminally o line author culture bc ngl it makes my eye TWITCH, there are authors I deliberately avoid even tho I've heard their stuff is good bc they're like that 🙈

HHHHH oh good lord, okay, from how I see it, there are two angles on this, both aggravating and sad: the official decree one and the spontaneous ecosystem one.

The officious one is that the nature of publishing nowadays demands an author have an online presence. You need Twitter/X. You need to let every potential reader know your book is coming out. You need engagement through reviews and pre-orders incentives (if you buy now you’ll get a special keychain!!) and word of mouth assurances from your peers that yes your book is as cool as you say it is. You need a newsletter with links (more buying! more voting on lists that are simply popularity contests!) and promises you’re still working on the next thing, don’t forget about me in the morass of everyone else doing the same thing. You need an Instagram and TikTok now to post pretty pictures and videos because one or two authors made it big off this kind of promotion and now everyone thinks it’s the ticket to the bestseller list (sadly, it seems to be working). You need an OnlyFans (a joke but I do recall a twt spat that was a joke/not joke about how rupi kaur will always be more beautiful than her critics and people who took issue with the conflation of beauty with talent). At the end of all this, you’re basically an influencer, a content creator creating content for the content you should be focusing on creating, the finished novel. And the novel itself seems to be disappearing behind the masks used to promote it (fanfic-style tropes, moodboards, playlists, memes) until I now no longer trust the book that I’ll pick up to have any resemblance to the enticements that brought me here. I’ve seen an author or two complain about the stress all this self-promotion generates, but it’s become such an entrenched part of the industry, I think people just accept it. And thus spend too much time online hoping that if they tweet just a little more, produce just one more reel, maybe that’ll be the difference between a sale and no sale.

The other side of this, distinct but obviously connected, is the ecosystem created by this panic of being perpetually visible coupled with the fact that so many of the new authors came of age during the rise of internet fandom culture. That opinionated community mindset that blurs the line between anonymity and friendship is the lens they bring to their own work. I mean, it makes sense I suppose—if you love yelling about characters and words, why wouldn’t you do that once you start to produce your own? This really came home to me hearing about that reviewbombgate “scandal” and how people involved were in reylo circles and that was used to provide receipts. You’re interacting with your readers and peers about your intimate work but they are also all strangers. They will not always give you the benefit of the doubt, and now—as opposed to the past when maybe the worst that could happen was a handful of bad reviews in newspapers—you will either be tagged in hate reviews, sub-tweeted, explicitly called out, demanded to atone for your sins. It’s no longer the morality of consumption but the morality of production. Of course, the easy answer is just log-off, touch some grass. But that can work only when you and everyone else are separated by anonymous accounts or when you have no platform to maintain. As an author trying to make your livelihood from this, suddenly it’s do or die. We’re in a strange moment of authorship bringing the Internet’s echo-chamber and claustrophobic into the real world (this is a lie: publishing now is no longer the real world. But it looks like it) and thus you can kind of no longer escape things.

Will the average reader who isn’t aware of all these machinations care about reviewbombgate? Would a reader browsing at Target think about the controversies around Lightlark? Very likely not. But the impression I’m getting more and more is that the average reader isn’t the one buying all the books. Or shall we say—a bestseller’s status relies on bookstore stock. Bookstore stock is only huge when they know a book will be a good investment. They’ll only know a book is a good investment if it and its author has street cred based on booktokkers, bookstagram, bloggers and reviewers (have you noticed how many books out these last maybe 1-3 years have these kinds of accounts thanked in the acknowledgments? Yeah), and THESE are also chronically online people who will Know. And decide the cast of fate.

Honestly, @batrachised, I see why you avoid these kinds of writers, though I wonder how long it’ll be before the disease becomes epidemic.

#i’m very doom and gloom about this if you couldn’t tell from my tone lmao #and of course it’s not a perfect formula; i read a decent debut this year by a writer trying to be very active on socials and idk how much #of a splash her book made because literary sff is a dying genre even with an ecological bent compared to the glut of romantasy #also this feels very timely because the goodreads choice awards were just announced and i am seething at seeing d*vine r*vals #get another accolade to its name #blake’s last braincell #blake talks shit #writing life

rediscovered this vine and couldn't resist

#this was a lesson in why thumbnailing is important! #bc instead of an actual angle change i drew the exact same angle just slightly to the left #i literally almost thumbnailed this but i went 'nah this is simple i dont need to' .... mf you needed to #i normally have no interest in making little animatic type things but these guys are just to easy and fun to draw #might make more vine based ones #anyway posting this at 1 am bc im a coward <3 #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home fanart #scribble salad #i really hope im remembering correctly that frank is a little aware? not to wally's extent but hes got some awareness? #anyway this vine is what i imagine being on the show was like for him #wally kept just staring off and talking at an invisible point #frank must've thought he was completely bonkers huh

im gonna need the millennials on here to stop romanticising vine in their criticisms of tiktok i cannot take yall seriously. i know all anyone remembers is Fre Shava Cado but in its heyday vine was one of the worst perpetrators of casual racism in recent history and it rly infuriates me when ppl compare the two as if vine never had any negative impact on the dominant culture. please get better arguments im tired

#is this swinging a bat ?? idk man #obligatory I Am White disclaimer but i swear 2 god we talked abt this all before #like. so many accounts dedicated to perpetuating gross stereotypes. every type of 'mocking' bigotry under the sun #like half the former vine stars turned out to be sex pests or some shit #i loved vine dont get me wrong but i hate the revisionism for shit that was barely 5 years ago. come on man

I’ve been turning on the pretty, battery-run string lights in my living room every day now, and it’s finally settled in my heart what it means to actually use things and not save them for a later that might not exist.

#use the fine china #turn on your string lights #eat well #drink that tea you’ve been saving #don’t save everything for later #sometimes you don’t get one #and it makes life a little better #my living room is full of little glowing bees and vines #from the dollar store #it’s better #I apreciate them #and I will use them #later isn’t promised #Batwynn Talks

hgss was also an instance of a pokemon game where you can tell if a starter is shiny before you even select one, so i soft reset the starter selection screen until one of the three was shiny. back then i was like please god any but chikorita and it was chikorita of course. i named him citrus and he did grow on me a lot. 6 years ago image.

I hope you all know

In my head, Sweetheart is tall as the hells

“SH is a few inches taller than Milo” NUH UH

They’re 6 feet , that’s it , maybe more

AND BUFF BECAUSE I SAID SO

Edit: someone said SH is a few inches shorter than David, Sweetheart is now confirmed 6'3 guys Erik told me I swear

They will be the most investigator to ever investigate (Sherlock quotes on the down low, maybe they've been an avid Sherlock enjoyer)

#redacted audio #redacted asmr #redactedverse #redacted milo #redacted sweetheart #redacted wolf boys #redacted shaw pack #I’m talking like that one vine of the tall girl n the short guy and she’s like you’ve been drinking your milk? and then spins him around #that’s how I see them

[thoodleoo]

the thing about reading ancient poetry is that you're having a conversation with someone who died thousands of years ago and really if you're speaking to someone like that are they really actually dead

#please imagine me (currently in my room lying on my bed; legs kicking back n forth w youtube playing as i open thelatinlibrary) #and the ghost of horace is lying in the exact same position next to me and we're talking about his poems #and i am telling him that if his words were food i would devour them like a man starved; also i am showing him vine compilations
