Thinking about the fact that the Boop event show that people are willing to interact with each other and we should learn it to reblog more and coment more but, also, people would interact A LOT MORE if we could activate animations and send animated messages.
I don’t care if I know you bc we’re mutuals or I follow you or you follow me or if you’re just randomly on my dash/notes but if I see your url and I see that boop button you’re getting fucking booped
I'm so so disappointed in the way Welcome Home and Clown are being treated. They set clear boundaries on how they wanted their work and characters to be treated, and they've been blatantly disregarded.
Their characters are being sexualized, which they clearly said they did not want NSFW posted of their characters, merchandise is being sold without consent, and so many more things.
I really think Clown deserves better. This story means so much to them and so do their characters. It hurts my heart so much to see how much this has been impacting them.
I really thought that we were past this kind of thing, and that their boundaries would be respected. We need to do better.
I read a lot of scripts. A lot. From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies. Features and pilots. Specs and treatments.
And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff. It’s more inspired. It’s more compelling. It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt. It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful. It’s smart and thoughtful and good. It’s novel-quality. Better than, sometimes.
Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job. This is what they do on the side. In their spare time. For free.
So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good. You’re good writers and great storytellers. I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do. And because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies. You’re better than that. So be better than that. If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it. You’ve already started.
i just want to say that whoever made the post about zoro possibly having bruxism due to his sword style I want you to know it haunts me and I can't stop looking at his teeth in any scene that shows them/anytime he uses his 3 sword style
