My OC, Stripes, holding my alias, Alfie the flying pig✨

I’ve been working on the second rewritten chapter of my Neteyam/OC fic, Know You, and while that’s admittedly slow-going, I’ve been commissioning artists like crazy✨

This one is by @alisandor_ on Instagram! They’re super easy to work and communicate with and their style is so so ✨aesthetic✨ give them a follow if you have a minute to spare!

And check out the rewritten prologue of Know You!

Ive literally reread “know you” so many times lol😭😭🫶🏼 Ive never been so hooked on a story before🙈

I’m really really really REALLY happy to hear it✨ I’ve been having doubts about finishing it so I’ve been holding onto threads of hope like this for dear life🤣 the next chapter should be out in the middle of January I thinkkkkk

But don’t quote me- I’m inconsistent😇

What happened with the prominent people in the fandom?

That’s the part I’m not going to tell, because if I say, these people will know exactly who they are and it’ll basically be drama mongering, sorry, not today, satan🤣

hey! just wondering what caused you to have these feelings of competitiveness within the fandom? i genuinely have had nothing but a positive experience in this fandom, and it makes me sad to see someone not enjoying it! your oc is lovely, too :)

I just wrote a big long thing about why I’m uncomfy here and in it I mention that people are REAL culty and gatekeepy,

on AO3, if the person who comments has an account, you can see their works and bookmarks,

Several(I’ll even say most, at the risk of sounding like it’s been a lot- it’s been like 2-3, but that’s honestly still enough for me to consider it a pattern) of the people who’ve left extremely negative comments on my story have been authors with works for the same pairing(Neteyam/oc)

Then there is also that thing I mentioned where jealous thirsty girls emotionally abuse each other for making up Neteyam/oc pairings in comments sections- if I come across any again, I’ll screenshot and drop them below this reply- regrettably I don’t have any now because I usually just read the comments for the drama then keep scrolling because I’m too soft for direct confrontation like that

But those kinds of things just don’t foster love in my opinion, and I’m super aware that my experience is probably on the unique side, but I doubt I am the one and only person whose experienced something like that. Just the one that’s had a mouth big enough to talk about it I guess🤣

I’m glad your experience has been pleasant and positive, everyone deserves to feel welcome where they want to be.(I’d thought I did too but I guess not)

But also THANK YOU, Stripes is my baby, and my heart explodes every time someone mentions her🥹

Can I ask what it is about this fandom you find unfriendly? I've been feeling the same a little and I've been feeling alone in this.

Long winded rant, hold onto your buttcheeks.

I’m going to put this out there for anyone who feels afraid to say it, and that’s only because this particular fandom is the ONLY fandom I’ve ever experienced this with. I’m a big fan of marvel and dc, sci-fi and fantasy, I show dogs, I train dogs, I make leather goods, and those are all cutthroat communities with their own problems but I’ve never felt uncomfortable in any of those the way I am in this one,

So here goes; I hope this helps some of the people like me, who really love Avatar, but don’t like the fandom environment.

I think the biggest problem is with the NeteyamxOC pairing niche- which seems to be the biggest subcategory in the fandom.

I’ve seen in the comments sections of several Instagram and tumblr posts(Neteyam pictured or written with oc’s, mostly) where a bunch of mean-girl antagonist harpies will emotionally body each other and the OP and claim Neteyam as if no one else has a right to pair an OC with them?

UM EW? SO WEIRD AND CULTY. thank god none of that happened on any of my posts or I would’ve had to slam my head in a door.

then there are the purists, who reprimand you if you change the traits of any of their favorite characters or portray them in a way they don’t approve of- this has happened to me several times, which, fair, I suppose. I did something heinous with a character in my story(he gets a redemption arc later but that’s not the point. I should be able to write anything I want, and while I value free speech, it’s like? Why are you getting so mad? He’s a fictional character, just DNR my fic and move on to something you like better, it’s not that serious)

There’s also people reposting artwork that I spent a lot of money on and not crediting the artists, but I feel worse for the artists because you can have all the money in the world but you will never get your time back, and I feel like it’s fucked up that they aren’t at least getting the recognition they deserve on those posts that these stupid poopybutthole assdicks are making.

That could go for any fandom, but I think it’s worth mentioning.

Lastly, both my direct and indirect interactions with a select few people who are VERY prominent in the community have just… left a slightly bad taste in my mouth…? Like nothing explicitly bad happened and if you ask all three of them they will probably go “oh no, me and that person don’t have a problem!” But just… if those three incidents were translated into equivalent in person interactions, I would’ve felt extremely bullied. You could call that me being sensitive, or a number of other things, but that’s just plain how I feel.

It’s a shame because I looooove love love all the fics people write in every aspect and pairing of the fandom, and can recommend you so many amazing fics that were written so much better than mine by such fucking nice and pleasant and humble people tbh, I legit would lick the bottom of their shoes if they asked me politely enough

It’s just those few hundred OTHER people that have made this a bad experience for me🤣

So there that is, this place and some of the hostile NPCs that inhabit it make me feel like I either need to curl into a fetal position to mourn the loss of common sense on the internet, or step into a rage room and never come out,

And the more I think about it, the more I feel like stepping away is a good decision for me.

Maybe when I come back people’s buttholes will have loosened up and I can walk around in the bountiful fields of Avatar/NeteyamxOC fanfiction again like a floppy golden retriever puppy without having to look over my shoulder for a poacher with a sledgehammer, but until THAT day,

(But not before I’ve made my last 2-3 posts by the end of the week)

I’m peacing out, buh-bye😂💕

Wait are u still gonna write for “know you”?

Or are u taking a break from everything in general😅

I don’t know what to call what’s happening to the story. Limbo? Not Hiatus, hiatus implies it’s being dropped completely for a while and that isn’t it, I don’t think.

I do really want to leave Know You alone for a little bit but there’s always those short bursts of inspiration so I can’t say if it’ll be updated next year or next week,

I’d say subscribe to the story so that if the next chapter DOES randomly pop out, you’ll be able to see it.

[big side note, this part of the story (Know You. The next part is Need You.) will end in like 10 chapters or less, we are ridiculously close to the climax and the very last chapter is already fully written. I’m too far along to just NOT FINISH]
