#as opposed to having the proper terminology to accurately articulate what makes a piece appealing and appreciating technique

Always so impressed by the way you leave detailed comments in the tags when you reblog fanart/fic. I'm sure the ops really appreciate it! Meanwhile my brain is just white noise while I try to think of anything to tag until I give up and hit reblog 😅

The potential downside of this is that it can take a while for me to sort and type out my thoughts between liking a post and (eventually) reblogging it, which I know is discouraging for content creators in general, but especially on this website given how likes vs reblogs work.

vs

(Minus probably ~200 personal posts that won’t be reblogged for a variety of reasons but that I still wanted to like from this blog as opposed to randomly using my main, and not counting the content that I want to move from my main to here for organizational purposes so that’s probably +1000 more there. And then new stuff is still being posted. Miraculously and thankfully, they finally decided to up the queue limit this year lol)

But regardless of all that, thanks 😅 Fandom is amazing and wild to me in the sense that you have people, without any monetary motivation, viewing a work, enjoying and internalizing it in a way unique to them formed by their own experiences, and then taking all that to produce work they want to share out of some degree of fondness for an IP and wanting others to see what they took from it. And with TPN specifically having ended both its manga and anime runs, I think it’s neat how people aren’t necessarily producing content to be trendy, but because there’s still something about this IP that brings them joy in whatever way they choose to interpret it. A potentially clichéd sentiment, but I enjoy the authenticity and like to be encouraging. Like, they didn’t have to put that content out there, but they did! And through a multitude of factors, I’m able to see and enjoy it! Amazing stuff; I like to pay that back, even if it’s paltry in comparison lol. And if other people want to vibe with me while I’m doing that, the more the merrier!
