worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

Hello. Can I interest you in thinking about Caleb, Essek, and the song Wildflower and Barley by hozier. The healers are healing. The diggers are digging the earth. "I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work."

Alright, at first I was going to gently pass on this (Hozier is fine, but not my thing), then looked up the lyrics out of curiosity and I'm just gonna say: watch this space, because they fit one of my wips incredibly well.

#i'm in the middle of another writing block so i don't wanna jinx it but i hope to be able to share something soon! #so yes i'm gonna be thinking about that!!! #i'm gonna be putting those lyrics in my notes/inspiration page actually! #thanks for the ask!

If you ever feel like you don't contribute to fandom because you "only" comment—

A regular serial commenter just joined a fandom Discord server I'm on and people are coming out of the woodwork to thank her for her service to the fandom, expressing how much joy her comments on their works bring them.

Remember—they're never only comments.

#this this this #commenters were among my first fandom friends when i was moving the first baby steps in it! #the true backbone of society

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.
