#I’m sorry I’m so bad at this haha

[ssreeder]

i just want to start this by saying you are by far one of my favorite fic authors and reading your series has been, at some points, the only thing i’ve had to look forward to and it always makes my day to see updates. i don’t want this to come off as rushing AT ALL, but i was wondering if you have any guess as to when the next update will be?

again no rush at all and i will be waiting no matter how long it takes 🫶

This was such a sweet ask & I’m so sorry for being so MIA lately. I really wanted to give you like a small insert from next chapter but I couldn’t figure out what to put here lol. The next chapter is done I’ll probably post it later today!! That’s my goal…

#goals are funny though #because sometimes they’re elusive little fuckers #thank you anon this was very very sweet #you’re one of my FAVORITE READERS!! #I’m going to do my very very best to upload it tonight #it’s 25k!!! #I was told it’s a happy chapter #& there are some cool interactions ;) #if you send me an ask with a character or something I can try to give you an insert #I’m sorry I’m so bad at this haha #I need like specific instructions and direction #BUT YOURE AMAZING ANON!!! #I love you & im so sorry for being so out of the loop lately! #liab #itf #ask

I truly believe Will Wood is an incredible musician and songwriter and is one of the top lyricists in the last decade both in and outside of the genres that he chooses to play in with absolutely zero irony. I also believe that you can only fully understand that if you’ve either had a pet die before listening to his music or you have a history of drug abuse and mental health crises. Or you’re trans.

#this may sound like a snooty post where I’m just upholding my own favorite music as the best #but honestly it’s in response to a lot of fans I’ve seen be really self critical? #like yeah haha I listen to bad music #and I also have been known to joke about my own weird taste #but here’s the thing! from a technical level! his music! goes hard! it is experimental and that is GOOD #and lyrically listen I listen to a lot of music #I’m even familiar with top forty stuff and while yes the content of his songs is very niche #the lyricism is so genuinely clever and playful and ugh god #ok anyway. sorry #listened to Will wood again #and also this post is about the fact that I first I didn’t get it. #and then I went to a really low point. and suddenly I got it #ok it cracked me open like a fucking egg #music #text #personal #kinda

Steve seems like a power tool kind of guy but honestly, so does Eddie! He’s like ‘let’s get a chainsaw!’ with a little too much enthusiasm for Steve’s liking (especially because they live in an apartment 😜)

#Steddie #Steve x eddie #Steddie headcanons #I might be projecting the qualities of someone I know who reminds me of Eddie onto him juuuust a little bit lol #but he really does seem like he’d enjoy them haha #and also sharp things! #pizzaqueentxt #i have more thoughts on this but I’m tired lol #eventually they live somewhere with like trees in the yard and one has to be cut down and Eddie’s so excited #but he and Steve fight over who gets to do it 🤣 #(not the whole tree because you should so not cut down a whole tree yourself although tbh I can see these dumbasses thinking they can handle #it on their own lol Steve might be a little more cautious though and caught between wanting to use the chainsaw and not wanting to destroy #the house or you know himself haha) #anyway this is stupid I’m sorry #i just don’t have any fic to post and I feel bad #plus I wanted to share this silly little thought

Last month, I also watched the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 100th Anniversary short film Once Upon A Studio, and I loved it.

It’s not the story I liked most; it was nice and cute, but nothing revolutionary or unexpected. What I loved was seeing and hearing all these familiar characters, especially the 2D-animated ones, again. I’m a fan of hand-drawn animation and really miss it, so I was happy to experience it once more, even if it was only for a few minutes.

I love traditional animation because it’s always felt more magical and “personal” to me. I missed seeing a character on screen and thinking, “I know who drew you”. Here, when Louis (The Princess and The Frog) appeared, I recognized his original supervising animator Eric Goldberg’s work. I also knew that impressive shot of Peter Pan and the Darling siblings flying around the building could only have been animated by James Baxter (his brain works in 3D; I don’t know how he does that but it’s always mind-blowing). And as a fan of Mulan, seeing her not only being animated by Mark Henn, whose style I think is unmistakable and who was her supervising animator in the 1998 movie, but also holding hands and singing with Snow White (the first Disney protagonist) and Asha (the latest Disney protagonist) was quite special and moving.

What’s also great is that you can tell they tried to remain as faithful as possible to each movie’s original visual style, which means characters, for the most part, really look like they’ve just come out of their respective films. Graphically speaking, the numerous protagonists all have their own identity (it clearly was the artists’ goal, and I think they achieved it), but the whole thing still looks surprisingly coherent. The vast majority of the original voice actors are back, which is a very nice touch as well.

I don’t know, I just think the care, skills, and passion of the people who worked on Once Upon A Studio were palpable, and that felt good. Their attention to detail is evident, and as someone who grew up watching hand-drawn animated movies and truly loves the artistry behind them, I appreciate that.

#I mean there certainly are things to say about disney as a company #but I think their artists are passionate and that you can feel that in the short film #technically speaking it’s really really good #once upon a studio #eric goldberg #mark henn #james baxter #too bad glen keane wasn’t here #mulan #they did you justice girl #you deserve it I’m so happy #disney #walt disney #traditional animation #today is hand-drawn animation appreciation day on this blog apparently #sorry with everything that’s happened with far cry (laserhawk not included) I almost forgot what it was like to feel respected as a fan :’) #even in french most of the original actors were back! they usually don’t care that much! #shout out to paolo domingo for coming back 30 years later just to record like one second of dialog for aladdin haha

could you tell us more about cap and lou's relationship? I think they're adorable and would like to learn more about them!

AHH thank you!!✨✨ Glad you’re interested, I could rant about them all day haha

So! Lou is a gray alien with anger issues, and plays bodyguard to his friend and former superior, John Tobin (who goes by Cap.)

Cap acts as their manager and liaison, and Lou, who does the heavy lifting, is a whip-smart strategist when calm and collected, and a proficient, belligerent fighter when he’s in more of a violent fugue state. He’s an old soul with a mob-boss mentality, that bounces off Cap’s salesman-like ways, for quick (albeit unconventional) work.

Lou sometimes holds it over Cap’s head that he treats him like his guard dog, parading him around on a pedestal or keeping him at arms length when needed, but they both genuinely care for each other. Cap knows Lou’s limits, and how to ground him, and Lou knows not to take Caps’ tactlessness personally.

Cap knows and loves to handle Lou’s extremes, (sometimes selfishly) and Lou uses Cap as a sounding board and enabler to their more outrageous wants (also selfishly.)

But this is just a little snippet of their dynamic, I’ve been drawing them for a LONG while, and I’m more than happy to draw and babble about them some more! Thanks again for asking! ✨

#I love going on little spiels about my funny little boys #I do feel a little bad tho that i can’t really explain as well with just a summary more than with just drawings and dialogue #it’s like a very boiler-plate standard-fare odd couple duo #but it’s on purpose like I know it’s corny but that’s part of it #it’s very TV it’s very goofy but their also just a couple of near middle-aged guys who just like each others company #*theyre #so if it’s very vague and cliche I’m sorry I know but I love it haha #Cap #Lou #SFDT

hey loves! just wanna give a little update, i’ve had some stuff happen in the last day or so that’s kinda been fucking with me hard

i’ll still be active and i’ll still be writing but if i’m not responding to asks/tag games as much that’s why :)

i don’t wanna give anyone the impression i’m ignoring them or being selective on who i reply to. im just trying to conserve myself the best i can and i’ll try to reply when i have the energy

(i also don’t know if this will affect my next coming chapters yet. i’ll still work on them when i can but i’m only not trying to overly push myself if i can help it)

thank you all! i love you guys dearly you all mean the world to me 💚🩵🩶

#blog update #sorry i’ve been in a not super great headspace lately #i really appreciate the kind words and messages like seriously they mean so much to me #but i can also feel i’m in the edge of like bad burnout and im trying to do damage control before it gets real bad haha #thank you all i super appreciate it!

You post a lot of beautiful pictures of ballet. Do you have any old photos or clips of you when you were a ballet dancer? Whats the best one you have?

Firstly, thank you 🥰

I have a lot of photographs but sadly none are amazing quality (ballet photography is apparently rather difficult)

Only ones on my phone currently are terrible quality 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m hoping to get back into dancing professionally/semi professionally but to lean more into styles I prefer this year, so maybe I’ll be able to get some better pictures 🤞🏻

#questions #ballet #sorry if this is worded badly I’m so tired #also I waffled a bit and I know no one really wants to hear me talking lol #As for videos I’m in a few on YouTube haha and some really bad phone quality videos

hey, just. friendly reminder that fanfiction is morally neutral.

yes, that includes smutty fics. yes, that includes self-insert fics. yes, that includes the fics you consider Problematic TM and the fics you don’t think are Smart or New. in fact that’s kind of why I’m writing this post.

I know we all love to talk about Themes And Narratives, but—and please listen to me very carefully here—you are not earning Good Place Points for only reading the kinds of fan fiction you feel are Smart or Only Focuses On The Important Things Like Themes.

fan fiction is morally neutral.

what I mean is this: no one is harming you, themselves, or anyone, by writing a fic about two characters having sex. (are you uncomfortable with the fact that I typed the word “sex”? hi, this post is about you. people have sex. and they write and talk about it. it’s seriously fine.)

no one is being harmed by self insert fics, by smutty fics, by anything not exclusively Smart TM about the fandom or analytically adding to it.

(and that’s not to say these two types of fics, that any type of fic, can’t have those elements— some of my favorite fic authors, my mutuals, my tumblr friends, write fic in these genres, and they also explore Themes and Emotions and analyze character traits and histories and write brilliant plots and incredible character arcs and yknow what, it’s amazing! it’s fantastic to examine what makes two characters react a certain way to x situation while also having them fuck nasty about it!) (and yes, I did just type ‘fuck nasty about it’ and I promise, that’s fine, too.)

what I’m saying, though, is that it doesn’t NEED that to, I dunno, somehow validate it into existing. it just Is. it just Exists. it doesn’t need an aspect you Approve Of TM in order to earn the right to be shared, to be written, to be published and commended and interacted with and read. it just. Is.

and I think a lot of especially younger, or newer, tumblr users especially get uncomfortable with that, and they unintentionally veer right (..ha) into self-censoring, puritanical behavior which is exactly what every person trying to ban books and generally kill art, wants. (and we’re not even going to examine in depth here, beyond mentioning it, the fact that policing, censuring, and banning art has historically and still today is being used to silence marginalized voices, so, I ask you to keep that in mind as you think on this, too, please.)

what I’m trying to say is this—if you personally don’t enjoy smut, don’t enjoy self insert fics, don’t enjoy a certain genre, that’s great, you do you! but, you must, must understand that this is not a moral stance. You are not objecting to a problematic practice, exploited workers, consent issues, labor crises… none of that applies, because no one in these stories is a real person. a story written about two Star Trek characters kissing on the bridge of the Enterprise is just that, a story. there is no actor for whose rights to fight, no wages to dispute fairness of, no ethical ramifications of scenes to discuss. these are Fictional People in Fictional Situations.

fan fiction is morally neutral.

and the moment you try to make yourself feel Better TM, More Correct TM, or—one of the ones I encounter the most—Smarter TM, by saying oh, I don’t read that kind of fic, I read the good kind, with thought in it—

you’re not only causing harm, you’re actively employing art censoring behavior. is that something that you want to do? I hope not. I certainly don’t.

next time you see a fic or a genre you don’t Approve Of TM, please remember the easiest way of exhibiting that— simply scrolling by or blocking a tag! If you’re on ao3, their system is incredible for niche content searches, and blocking a tag even here on tumblr will (most of the time) work.

I just., there’s so many better options out there for you than to… act like this. I believe you, we, all of us, can be better than this.

fanfiction. is. morally. neutral.

#my words #personal #saw one too many posts of people being ‘oh haha no I read the GOOD fanfic the SMART kind yknow’ and being so pointlessly self congratulatory #like babes there is so much joy in media content once you stop feeling shame or moral superiority about it #I just. had to put this out there #especially because like. so many. soooooo many. of the people who say those things. are just. so thinly veiling actual like bigotry beneath #‘oh haha I don’t like ship fic’ to ‘well actually it’s just slash fic’ to ‘gay people having sex is gross’ see what I mean. it’s a pipeline #the ‘smut fic is gross lol’ to ‘actually talking about sex at all is bad’ to ‘hi I’m anti choice’ pipeline is. more real than u might think #and I say this as someone fucking raised in all the problematic bigotry. but like babes you cannot flourish like that sorry! #anyways it’s just like. so much of this is just thinly veiled censorship biases or self discomfort unexamined or latent prejudice #and it’s so pointless too like babes smut fic has existed since ever you are not going to stop it from existing now #and in general hating on a fic is just.. kinda pointless! there’s so much fic in the world you can just go find the kind you enjoy instead #anyway let’s hope this one does not break containment 🫣 I have walked the puritan walk I do not need them heckling me lmao #fanfiction is morally neutral

i love your art! it always brings a smile to my face <3

oh this is so kind 🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much!!

#this was so nice bc I have been really struggling with my art lately #and it’s been hard to make things turn out the way I want and I keep getting frustrated and not liking it #so yeah this is just nice to hear<3 #also it’s just. idk when people say this to me I’m like ??? really ?? 🥺 #cause there are so many really cool art styles/artists out there and my stuff to me is not very standout #I mean I have a good time making things and I’m glad other people like the things I make #I just assume it’s like ‘oh yay my blorbo!!’ rather than like my style specifically haha #which is fine!! like obviously I love my blorbos and I get excited seeing them djdjdj #and I don’t necessarily feel *bad* about having an art style that is less flavorful than others #I like my style (usually haha) #but still it just makes me like !! when someone like my art specifically idk! #it feels special to me #like if the style is nothing to write home about and some people still write home about it djjdd im jusf<3 Aw thanks for including me. #thanks for thinking of me #it’s meaningful to me to know I hold space in people’s thoughts #anyway I’m glad I could make u smile anon 🥺 this made ME smile #and sorry for the uncomfortable tag rambling I’ve been weirdly emotional the past few days most like due to shark week #werewolf time if you will #lmao #anon #ask #nice things

Well now I need to know what happened before Ingo ended up in Hisui.

That last fic man

it got to me.

In regards to my newest fic, Comfort Him

I have had an idea in mind for what happened, and while it’s not the route that Train of Thought AU takes (Ingo pulled Emmet out of the way at the last minute and essentially traded places with him), I’ve mentioned it somewhere before in detail.

Long story short, Ingo and Emmet have a terrible day at work. Like, AWFUL. Ingo decides if Emmet can call Elesa over and find a good movie for them to watch, he’ll go out and buy some of their favorite things, so they can have a good ending to their night. He heads out to the cornerstore, a simple ten minute trip, and just… never comes back.

If I ever expand upon this with a fic, it would not have a happy ending, as of course it would end with Ingo in the Icelands. But maybe at some point, I will!!

#the workday was especially terrible for Emmet #and things got bad right before Ingo was plucked up and thrown to Hisui #in a way he was saved #but that’s for another time #ALSO ACK #this fic was a sadder one compared to what I usually make #So I’m very sorry haha

If ur blaming bad writers for why you only read WFA and fanfic…boy have I got some news for you!

#girl just say u wanna read fun shit like don’t pretend it’s genuinely that #Like if I said I don’t read fanfic I only read comics bc of bad ooc writing… #c’mon yall #and the bad writing in question is Bruce being mediocre at parenting the JL being competent and not kissing the bats asses and tim actually #having a personality that’s not easily palatable insecurities and ‘flaws’ that the masses can relate to without feeling bad about themselves #cause It’s easy for y’all to say ur overworked or do too much #It’s not easy for y’all to say ur arrogant or petty in a way that’s not ‘girl bossing’ #like can we talk about that too when y’all acknowledge Tim’s flaws it’s always in a ‘haha so real’ kinda way #Like u can never sit down and say this dude is petty and at times narrowmined and it screws him and the ppl around him over at times #It’s always ‘he’s so petty he’s real asf’ but when you talk about how weird it is to hold THAT kind of grudge against a 10 year old #now we’re victim blaming 💀 #I wouldn’t dislike fanon so much it y’all weren’t so weird about tbh #OH and god forbid the JL being competent without Bruce #god forbid they can do their fucking jobs #shocker 😱 the entire JL doesn’t revolve around Batman #most of them are not super duper intrigued by what he and his kids are doing 24/7 #woooooah #started reading GL (FINALLY SORRY) and I’m never gonna forgive what y’all did to hal Jordan 😏 #Im not fixing that emoji 😕 #BUT IM ALSO NEVER GONNA FORGIVE HOW YALL TREAT OLIVER QUEEN
