I really would encourage everyone to do a mindfulness check before you post about your problematic blorbo and do a proofread for disclaimers and excuses.

ie: "Yeah they're terrible but I like them!" or "It's canon!" or "[misc discourse buzzword gotchas about fiction not being reality, blah blah]"

Just don't! You don't need to! It isn't necessary!

What if we were surrounded by people who didn't constantly assume the worst of us and didn't assume we endorsed the wrongdoings of a fictional character? What if we didn't feel the need to self-censor to appease conservatives?

Blunting every post you share, everything you lovingly create, every silly thing you have to say with a moral disclaimer is an affirmation that there is a moral deficit and adds to the stigma about liking dark fiction. What if we were unapologetic because there's nothing to apologize for?

And you know what? The people you're trying to please do not fucking care lmao. It's not going to change their minds. They're going to think you're a scumbag anyway so why are we wasting time trying to gain their favor?

So don't pollute your posts with it, don't take attention away from your art and your fics, don't try to fill a quota for how often every month you apologize for your interests, because all it does is start a negative conversation around something that's really boring and takes attention away from the thing you're actually trying to say!!! You're allowed to be proud of your fanfic and artwork and meta and silly memes and fun lil ideas and you don't need to invite discourse every fucking time!!!!!

#fandom lolitics #ANYWAY if i post fic and you need a disclaimer #then you aren't the intended audience!#sorry! bye! look elsewhere!#it's not for you!#and i'm not going to disrespect the intended audience by making space for you!#we're trying to have fun go away!

Often when I see people criticizing shows, I wonder:

Would anyone care about it in the 80s-2000s?

Would anyone care that the characters didn't develop enough back when you'd get episodes out of order?

Would anyone care about convoluted lore back when it was common to recap what previous episodes were relevant before the introduction of today's?

Would adults complain to each other at work about how shallow the Toy-Selling show their sons liked is?

---

Criticism can be fair, honest, and constructive, but sometimes people get so worked up I really don't see the point.

Don't you want to like it? Wouldn't it be better if you still liked it even though it was lacking? Wouldn't that be more fun?

if you don't like it... you can leave.

#i love loving flawed things #I hate seeing posts about how bad <thing I like> is #they're often right #but I assumed the tags for <thing i like> would be full of people who also liked it #if st3ven un1verse (minus the gae) came out in the 90s it wouldn't be nearly as hated #kids would think ''yay my space rock show''#and adults would think ''oh cool it's that space rock show my kids like'' and if they didn't like it they'd ignore it #nobody would make active effort to spread complaints about it #unless they worried about it's messages/influence/morality on their kids #nobody would talk about how much they hated the space rock show's writting #if you're an adult and you like a kids thing #great!#but if you don't? just leave!#it's not for you!#there's other stuff you'll enjoy

is the raven in your basement a pet of yours like Maleficent's raven Diablo, or is it just some random raven that hangs out there?

"You are referring to Beulah, I take it? An amusing story! Dear Beulah was once a hand maiden in the castle who discovered my laboratory quite by accident. I could not allow her to speak of what she saw, and so I turned her into a form that would speak no more!"

#speak! let me see thy face! {answered asks}#It's not for you!

Going to letterboxd and seeing bad reviews for Truth or Dare (2012) like: You don't get it

#It's not for you!#This mediocre horror movie is for me specifically #'It's homophobic' yes and it's also HIGHLY homoerotic we can have both as a treat #horror tag #Truth or Dare (2012)

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

#art #i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more #do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original #or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them #or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave #you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.

nasa: we're going to shoot three rockets directly at the sun during the total eclipse. for study and research purposes.

me: oh cool

nasa: we have named the rockets apep. this stands for atmospheric perturbations [in the] eclipse path.

me: oh cool

nasa: apep is also the ancient egyptian deity of chaos and darkness, who ceaselessly seeks to extinguish the sun. we launch these rockets directly at the sun in the name of apep.

me: oh... cool?

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

#matilda #my beloved #never stop getting mad about the things you see that are wrong in the world

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

#the ethics are whack but more importantly you didn't even want to write it?? who is it even for?? not you? not me?#you didn't even have enough interest in the premise to take a crack at it?? then who cares?#please don't populate in my search results I'm looking for things that people wrote because they liked something #ao3

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

#self #last night i kept stimming thinking about this LOVE IS AO REAL. AUGH #i dont like damming but this is a step in the right direction AND it gets the public involved #i love that! more public interactions like this in ecology please! thats how you bring change! thats how you make ppl see the beauty in life #marine biology #ecology
