I have such big feelings right now about how this fandom treats artists. This is the one hill I am willing to die on: all fandom artists deserve respect regardless of what ships they create art for.
Listen to me. Traditional fandom is dying. AI art is cropping up everywhere in fandom spaces, stealing work from real artists while getting twice as much recognition.
Meanwhile, the artists who are clawing and fighting to stay in these spaces are subject to constant criticism and harassment. They are taking hours to work on pieces that they share with us for free only to be bombarded with ungrateful comments. And on top of that, their work is constantly being stolen and reposted on other platforms without proper credit.
Fandom artists are fighting for their lives right now and the least that we can do is pay them the basic decency of shutting our mouths if we don't have anything nice to say.
If you are not paying the artist, then you are not entitled to art of your favorite ship.
If you are not paying the artist, then you are not entitled to art that fits into your specific interpretion of a ship.
If you want fandom artists to keep creating content that they share with us for free out of the kindness of their hearts, then you better learn to start supporting them.
Fandom artists are part of our community, and they SEE YOU making these negative comments. You may think that you're only putting down one specific artist, but they all see you. And they feel discouraged, and they feel angry, and they feel unwelcome, and many of them leave.
If you wonder why so many artists are putting their work behind patreon and withdrawing from fandom spaces, it's because of the way we treat them. Do better.

Taylor Swift lyrics writing prompts
I’m Taylor trash so I’ve decided to assemble this list with some of my favourite lyrics that, in my opinion, work well as writing/dialogue prompts. I might use some of these myself at one point. Hope you like it :)
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you
I never thought we’d have a last kiss
We were crazy to think that this could work
I’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places
I don’t wanna lose this with you
“Baby, is something wrong?” “Nothing, I was just thinking how we don’t have a song”
I miss you too much to be mad anymore
I see your face in every crowd
Just think of the fun things we could do
It takes everything in me not to call you
I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings
Every time I look at you is like the first time
In the middle of the night in my dreams you should see the things we do, baby
We can’t make any promises now, can we, babe? But you can make me a drink
I’d be smart to walk away but you’re quicksand
Let’s get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the crowds
Stay here, honey, I don’t wanna share
I know places we can hide
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me?
I don’t wanna dance If I’m not dancing with you
I’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
No one has to know what we do
We could get married, have ten kids and teach them how to dream
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running
Please, don’t be in love with someone else
I like the way you sound in the morning
I don’t want you like a best friend
I wish you knew that I’ll never forget you as long as I live
When I’m feeling alone you remind me of home
I’ve been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
Just take me home
I don’t wanna miss you like the other girls do
I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?
I can’t breathe without you but I have to
Darling, I fancy you
I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not
I don’t want to need you this way
It’s been occurring to me I’d like to hang out with you for my whole life
Don’t blame me, love made me crazy
I’d tell you I miss you but I don’t know how
You never loved me, or her, or anyone
Guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats, alone. Unless you wanna come along
I might be okay but I’m not fine at all
I’m sorry that I hurt you
I’m pretty sure we almost broke up last night
But would you run away with me?
It’s you and me, that’s my whole world
I’m dying to know, is it killing you like it’s killing me?

the real reason azriel is frothing at the mouth about the mating bond and fantasizing about lucien challenging him to a blood rite is because he’s pissed off that elain got a vanserra and he didn’t. first eris doesn’t nasty make out with him in front of everyone when he body slams him during the high lord meeting, and now lucien’s off the market? its devastating. the only thing keeping him going is the fact that gwyn’s a snarky, stubborn redhead too and mama did NOT raise a quitter

The best part is you cannot, at any point, say “my eyes are up here” because there’s a nice set of eyes for me to look at
Wrap your tentacles around me, jellyfish mommy. Show me what your venom does, hold me real tight so I can't get away 🥺🫦😫
Guys I found my Halloween costume for this year
