every time I get an email from ao3 telling me somebody left a comment on one of my fics, every time I see that somebody reblogged something I wrote on tumblr, my day improves instantly. every time it makes me feel that I want to keep going. so I just want to say this to all of you who comment and reblog: I hope you know how important you are.
stories, art, meta -- those things aren't created in a vacuum. they are part of an ongoing conversation between the material, the fic/meta writers and artists, and the people who interact with what they read and see. and that's not just true for art and all forms of writing. the whole world is a big, intertextual web made of billions of voices. we react to each other and that's how we create community and art.
every time you react to something you've enjoyed, you contribute to that conversation. every time you do that in a positive way, you tell the writer or artist "I hear you and I care enough to respond." even if it's nothing more than "I love this." it means artists and writers know their voices aren't just being swallowed up by the great big void. it encourages people to keep expressing their takes on the conversation that is art and writing. it means we all get to have more of it.
all of this to say: commenters and rebloggers, you are superstars. thank you. I love you.
the uncontrollable URGE to make a new neo agent 3 that fails in the end maybe even intentionally that plunges the world into a fuzzy post-apocalypse where one by one people lose themselves and and and--
East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.
i love you all so fucking much!!!!! seriously!!! and without much restraint!!! my life is better with every last one of you in it!!!!! i'm so thankful to know you!!!! to see you on my tumblr.com dash!!! to partake in things that bring us joy and happiness together!!!!!!!
The atrocities I would commit in the name of ABC if they make Buddie canon have no limits
FOX was driving me insane for 5 whole seasons and now it looks like ABC is giving us everything we've ever wanted.
Keep it up, ABC, and you will have your own personal super soldier (in the form of a mentally ill pansexual who gets their joys from a silly little wee woo show)
so I’m not sure if we’ve addressed this but can we talk about how Aziraphale was probably going to confess his undying love in this scene?
Look at his face!
And the way he’s like ‘Crowley we’re fine’ when Crowley says the legions of the damned are at his doorstep. Aziraphale just wants to tell Crowley he loves him. And then Hell ruins it.
and then Crowley DOES confess his undying love, and Heaven ruins it.
See the way Aziraphale looks out the window? The Metatron is watching. The moment he’s been waiting for for 6000 years - the love of his life confessing - and he can’t even enjoy it because some asshole is watching.
