I'm really glad to have found the Hermitcraft fandom here on Tumblr, I've been a long time fan and it's awesome to discover all this great fanart and content and stuff. Any must-follow MCYT/Hermitcraft/Minecraft blogs?

oh gosh, welcome! in general i am BAD about remembering who i follow and who i don't; a great way to find who you want to follow might be to just go through the #hermitcraft tag and follow people you find funny, or, heck, if i reblog a lot of art from a certain artist you like (or not a lot, like one art even), go follow them!

while we're here, a few additional general etiquette rules (keeping in mind that like, this is tumblr, trying to claim ANYTHING is a whole-community norm is basically impossible i am claiming a norm from my specific circle of guys): do not crosstag, only tag things that are actually in your post. don't use the 'minecraft' tag, that tag is for people who like the actual game. (i mean, you can use it if you are posting about minecraft, but not if you're posting about the youtubers). it's generally considered rude to put your crit in the main tags, especially without tagging 'discourse' somewhere so it can be filtered. shipping should generally have a 'hermitshipping' tag on it for filtering purposes as well, but if something is tagged hermitshipping and you're mad about it just like, block them, they did the important part.

the hermits i know of on tumblr (could be more, idk): @/joehills @/pearlescentmoo @/falsesymmetry @/therealdocm77 (not actually active but has the account) @/geminitayyt. cleo also had an account but it is no longer active. also @/inthelittlewood is here and like very active, as is @/askzloyxp and @/quinnhills. as a general etiquette rule, just... act like they're perfectly ordinary tumblr users and continue your business as usual! and don't send them weird asks or anything.

off the top of my head, a few blogs i like, an EXTREMELY non-exhaustive list, find your own guys out there as well you won't regret it! like, you will find the experience you like best just going out there and looking for it yourself! i've absolutely missed a bunch of guys i love, let alone guys you would love! this is like 10 million percent non-exhaustive, i follow 1,570 blogs apparently, many of which aren't hermitcraft or mcyt related, but many of which are, so i just sorta. went for it. and when i was having trouble remembering if a name was a repeat that's when i stopped. so. non-exhaustive list:

@nightshadeowl, @jestroer, @astronomodome, @kingtheghast, @floweroflaurelin, @roenais, @silverskye13, @wasyago, @rusty-courage, @art-by-fate, @silverskye13, @redstonedust, @betweenlands, @sixteenth-days, @judas-iscaryot, @terracottakore, @cherrifire, @antimony-medusa, @hybbart, @made-nondescript, @luigra, @cuteiemonster, @mawofthemagnetar, @potionofinstantdamage, @concorp, @spiderziege, @salemoleander, @bc-jpeg, @magicalmanhattanproject, @simplydm, @12u3ie, @mishapen-dear, @lunarblazes, @girltimeswithscar, @kishdoodles, @quaranmine, @shadeswift99, @bdoubleowo, @quicksandblock, @beacon-lamp, @kikunai, @sideblague, @applestruda, @ingapotejtoo, @belmarzi, @strifetxt

anyway FEEL FREE TO PROMO GUYS OR YOURSELF ON THIS POST TOO! from what i understand we may be getting some new guys sometime soon here from the twitter lands? so it may be helpful to have that for anyone who's looking for new guys to follow!

and most of all: WELCOME!!!

#answered #i DEFINITELY MISSED ABOUT A MILLION BELOVED MUTUALS AND IM SO SORRY #I JUST. I STARTED TO RUN OUT OF ABILITY TO TELL IF ID ALREADY LISTED ONE OF YOUR BLOGS #PRETTY SURE I ACCIDENTALLY DOUBLED SOMEONE ALREADY.#also i am so sorry none of these links work. see when i tried to publish this ask originally tumblr decided that it couldn't actually #so i had to copy-paste it and try again.#anyway WELCOME I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR PEOPLE! :D #also if you don't wanna be on this post let me know and i'll remove you and also i'm sorry

Confession 81... I’ve been in the AHIT fandom for several years now, and although I’m not as active in the community anymore, it still holds a special place in my heart. But… I’d be lying if I said the fandom discourse wasn’t always exhausting. From character hating, gatekeeping, shipping discourse, or just plain old fandom drama, it’s always been a mess. So what if you think Vanessa or any of the cut characters are cool? So what if Snatcher, Conductor, Empress or any of the other “overrated” characters happen to be your favorites? So what if people like to make found family, nice AUs, shipping content, or selfship scenarios? That’s completely valid! And if anyone doesn’t like it or wants to see different content? They can block tags, move on, and/or make that content for themselves. Life’s too short to let anyone tell you how to enjoy funny hat game ;3

Minty Playhouse™️ is filmed in front of a live studio audience

Yo, the name's Minty! I'm a very queer Brazilian living in the Netherlands!

I like music, games, shipping, movies, writing fic, doodling, rambling about dumb stuff, animals, nature, cute things and messed up topics.

While this blog isn't overtly NSFW, I reblog raunchy posts/jokes and sometimes my tags aren't christian. Also some suggestive/kinky images and some nudity might pop up here and there (tagged proper of course). Basically, some viewer discretion is advised!

This blog has no real theme I just reblog and talk about what I like, but I try to tag stuff to the best of my ability to keep things organized for my sake.

Everyone is welcome in my blog, I don't care about your race/orientation/gender/nationality/age/fandoms/ships... I mean, I care about your fandoms and ships is they intersect with mine but that's a different topic heh

Also, I don't care about fandom wank in any way shape or form. I used to eons ago but it was far too exhausting. And if you try to start any type of "discourse" with me I'll ignore you. I wish to create a safe, positive space in my blog where not only I can talk about anything fandom related, but also give room and freedom to my followers to share their thoughts with me without judgement. Fiction has no limits or boundaries (except for your imagination and your own personal preferences).

Kink shaming and cringe culture are DEAD!!! Do whatever the fuck you want!

Xtra Links:

Art Sideblog: Where I post my artsy creations! Updates are very sparse though, sadly. I'm a slow artist.

Who + Monkees NSFW Sideblog: Where I post my spicy Who and Monkees content! Drabbles, fic ideas, simping, occasional doodles...

blorbo.social: A mastodon instance. It's kinda like twitter, but without the toxicity lol I post my more explicit art there since tumblr won't let me do it here. Also for shorter format content and where I vent my frutrations sometimes.

AO3!!!

Anyways, have some cool and memey images I find funny under the read more!

#pinned finally!!!

Regarding the current Situation in the BSD Tumblr fandom

[note: I typed this in a hurry, so it may not be phrased properly. Please understand that if I was harsh or disrespectful here, it was entirely unintentional and due to the lack of time I have to write this]

Over the past few weeks, I haven’t been able to scroll a few feet down my dashboard without finding a friend getting harassing and bullying asks from “Melozai” (also known as “Dazai anon”, as well as other nicknames I’m unaware of).

You’ve probably seen people receiving asks from her too— typical trademarks of her asks include long blocks of a single repeated phrase sent multiple times (ie a block of text reading “dazai supremacy” around 50 times), censoring names of character she doesn’t like (ie “ch**y*”), and using “jobless” and “probably 30+” (in reference to the poster’s age) as insults (which I believe are Twitter things, because I’ve never seen stuff like that on Tumblr prior to her arrival.)

I’ve also seen people making fun of her after receiving these asks, which makes sense— it’s frustrating to have to deal with, and it can be exhausting to have someone target you over a difference of fandom opinion.

Regardless,, we. shouldn’t do that.

Please, please if you get asks from this person, just delete them. I know it’s tempting to respond— I’ve responded in the past and made fun of her too. But at this point it’s really clear that this person isn’t in the best headspace at the moment and isn’t doing too well mentally (not sure if I phrased that right but I know you know what I mean).I’m not a doctor so I don’t want to throw around medical terms, but it’s clear that there is a problem here that runs deeper than fandom discourse.

If you’re seeing this post because you follow the Anti-Dazai Blog (ie me.), then please don’t participate in provoking this person further via responding to her.

If you’re seeing this post through the tags, then chances are it’s because “Melozai” is something new and exciting on your side of tumblr. She’s been here for a while. It may be funny now, but after the 3,000+ ask from her, you will see that this is not a standard hate anon, but rather there is something deeper going on.

#Guy please let’s not make fun of someone who’s clearly struggling right now #I know it’s REALLY annoying to hear. But.#Be the bigger person. Take the high road or whatever.#Melozai #dazai anon #Not really sure what else to tag this to reach the proper audience #Bsd #bungo stray dogs

Opinion on pretty Arya discourse

my darling baby im so sorry i didn’t get to this sooner 😭 i was half asleep when writing out my answer and i forgot to finish and post it. i didn’t really edit this so have fun with my little sleepy thoughts

my opinion on pretty arya discourse is that it’s exhausting lmao

on the one hand i don’t know why it matters if a 9 year old orphan is pretty or ugly like i don’t think that it’s the most important aspect of her storyline but then on the other hand the way ppl absolutely lose their minds if you suggest that arya is pretty is so crazy that i have to join the war on the side of pretty!Arya truthers. i see a lot of sansa fans in particular freak the fuck out about this and i have to wonder why? like do you feel that arya’s beauty may be a threat to sansa and somehow vicariously feel threatened by her beauty too? are you trying to gatekeep beauty??? it’s very weird. and i know some fans try to back it up in a feminist way by arguing that it’s bad to hypothesize on the looks of little girls but if they still insist on comparing sansa’s beautiful looks to catelyn’s beautiful looks how is that any different than arya fans comparing her to lyanna ? (this is off-topic but i think it’s so funny when neutrals or antis use popular arya/lyanna faceclaims for alayne stone like yeah obv anyone can fc olivia hussey as any character but is there not another brunette you could use???? are you so secretly obsessed with arya that you wish sansa looked like her lmao????)

oh also, i think it’s cringe when ppl who subscribe to the beautiful sansa ugly arya idea draw mixed race starks but draw only arya and jon as obv ppl of color. ppl will be like “look at our beautiful white-passing maiden sansa who has catelyn’s beauty and grace! and arya underfoot her dark-skinned troll of a sister!!!!”

tl;dr i think it’s ultimately ridiculous discourse but i do believe arya could be beautiful and find it odd that so many ppl get offended if you say this

Hii! Previous shipping discourse anon here after doing some Thinking(tm). I think the problem that people see in proshippers is not that it *is* dark or deals with sensitive topics, but that's its weirdly...fetish-y? Like, there's a specific breed of anti that I don't like that's that's kaeluc antis(basically, sworn bros v adopted bros)(because their entire argument is a bit sinophobic) but there are ppl who will go out of their way to make them adopted bros anyway so. You can Tell it's a fetish

Oh man I vaguely remember when we were talking about kaeluc on here. Still know Nothing about it but I remember it (for some reason) came up.

…or I read about it on another blog?

Whatever. More to the point.

I’m a strong defender of “it’s cool to like dark fiction just because you enjoy it.” I don’t think anyone needs a justification. We don’t demand people explain why they like watching action movies with blood and death, do we?

But also I know exactly what you mean. Like. Eurgh. I am way too tired to explain my very complex thoughts about human sexuality. But for one thing, adopted siblings falling in love is like. A really old trope. Do I like it? No. Is it a thing? For some reason! (S/o to Cassandra Claire for letting me accidentally read her weird incest fantasy books.) But okay, I think I can say…

There are people who write things purely for porn purposes. I try not to judge those too much, with a few exceptions, mostly what I referenced earlier.

Then there are people exploring themes etc. Which is like. That’s what I do. Actually it’s funny that you used that example because one of my fic ideas includes the line “Why do I want to call you my brother when we’re having sex?” (It’s a joke in context, but explaining that context is beyond the point.) So like yeah they are generally speaking fine in my book.

And then there’s the middle ground where things get murky. It’s clearly not someone just writing something for the purposes of getting off, but it’s also not a sincere exploration. It’s…yeah, it’s something else.

I’m too tired to really wrap this up. Lemme try anyway.

I think a lot of people…okay, this goes back in part to media literacy, but there’s also some current cultural factors here, but a lot of people struggle to separate their intrinsic disgust from actual risk. It’s like — there was a spider living in my bathroom for a while. It kind of terrified me at first but the spider is just chilling. The spider is not an actual harm to me.

And as an author, sometimes I just want to make people feel revulsed and disgusted. God knows I’m familiar enough with the feeling.

Okay I am literally falling asleep as I type. Hopefully this makes sense? I am so exhausted, it’s been a Rough Ass Week in ya boy.

Maybe like. In reference to my previous comment on Lolita, I want people to understand the disgust they feel in response is part of the stories. Stories are meant to be felt. Sometimes horror is part of the feeling.

Oh my god I cannot keep my eyes open why did I think this was a good idea.

I really don’t have a label in the discourse. I don’t care what I am labeled as, so as long as it doesn’t involve misinformation.

K that’s all for tonight but I’ll check my inbox for you in the morning nonnie

#mine #ask #anon #shipcourse #sorry if this is incoherent I’m that tired #these shipcourse discussions are my favorites #the ones that don’t waste time on legs #fuck #can’t do it too tired #love you night

I’m taking a break from social media, because recently i’ve been reading, watching, and listening to too much stuff that I feel is just wearing me down.

I don’t know if anyone on here actually cares too much for this little blog, as it’s mostly just me reblogging things without original thought, but it’s not like I don’t get any notes, and especially @brennholzverleih still tags me from time to time (I appreciate it, even if I haven’t participated in more recent tag games)

A large part of why I’m doing this, is “transphobia by proxy” i.e. transphobia that reaches my brain not directly, but because I tend to click when someone talks about it. As funny as “haha TERF epicly countered by horses ⊂ chairs” can be, it’s still exhausting to me in the long run, and for now I need to be a bit more mindful of the kinds of online content I consume.

The other part is just the news and especially social media discourse around it regardless of topic being exhausting, and I need to just tone that down a bit, while I concentrate on Uni which I started this year.

All of that combined with mental shit I’m currently going through that’s a mess of dysphoria, wondering if I’ve got other problems between the ears, and family issues just means something has to go and social media is the easiest to cut out without losing anything important.

Thanks to anyone who I’ve positively interacted with here since I joined during the reddit migration, it’s been fun wasting time here. I’ll probably be back, but I hope I exert enough self control to not have that happen too soon.

Goodbye for now, funny people in my ’puter

ngl, but I feel like a confession blog that forbids criticism about the thing the confession blog is themed after kind of misses the point of being a confession blog, but that may just be my dumbass opinion. Sometimes folks are gonna have negative things to say about a thing you like. Sometimes there's going to be a lot of that, sometimes for a good reason, but not always, that much is true. Yes, it's also going to be emotionally exhausting.

But at the same time... it's hard not to understand WHY the decision would be made, because far too often there is a fine line between genuine, actual criticism and straight-up bitching, and not enough people dropping their shit in the inbox can tell the difference. That's when you get the haters bitching about how they got silenced for their criticisms when in fact they were just bitching on Anon for no good reason other than to see their bitching get immortalized in Image or Ask format.

All in all you're right, folks generally gotta be more responsible, and more INTELLIGENT with the shit they say.

Yeah but like again to be transparent: I state up front and kind of obviously that I'm going to call you a dumbass as a gimmick, and I expect people will just make up the dumbest discourse possible. I expect a lot of ungenuine shit because its funny basically. But I do think that often things just get passed through without really thinking.

Most people are relatively sane you know, and I have no problem with that.

***TW/CW: Radfem/TERF bullshit, lesbophobia, and transphobia***

Ahhhh god, this is so funny... This is from late August, but I'm only just now seeing it. But just... y'all still on this discourse bullshit of "Y'aLl DoN't KnOw WhAt LeSbIaN mEaNs!!!1!11!!" while, uhm... not knowing what lesbian and sapphic mean NOR knowing anything about lesbian and sapphic history. Also, I think that y'all just don't read my bio anymore either because HUH??

Anyway, don't try to start a fight when you don't know what you're talking about and refuse to read what was actually said. I'm too old, too exhausted, and too busy to keep up with discourse and keep engaging it. Either message me like the adult you claim to be, or stop @ing me like this is high school.

ANYWAYS, trans/nonbinary people, sapphics, lesbians, and those who are a combo of those: I love you, and I'm so sorry some people are such hateful stale pieces of toast that they have to project their insecurities onto you and spew their hate at y'all. You're better than that and them, and you deserve better. Don't listen to their foolishness; they ain't shit 👉🏾😎👉🏾

For the blorbo bingo - any Cu of your choosing? c:

Hello fellow fate fan and Cu enjoyer, thanks for the wonderful ask!! I think I will pick Lancer this time (I'm playing it safe lmao i hope i will be able to be concise and not start screaming incoherently). But also thank you for sharing your Cu theories and analysis with me. I like talking about this guy a lot, but he is absolutely my BLIND SPOT when it comes to understanding!

I apologise in advance if any of my Cu takes are a bit off (a lot of projection can be blamed for this). Also the rambling is extremely long so you can ignore it too. Thanks again!

Note: These are all my personal opinions, not truth (cuz im far from an expert on him)

Cu (Lancer) HAHAHAHA YESSS

This time I am going to be a lot more selfish (extremely selfish) and discuss my personal feelings on the character (which I tend to avoid doing)- based on all the bits I circled. Firstly yeah there is a deep seated reason why I love this character.

It's because well, Cu Chulainn does represent certain qualities that I am obsessed with and yearn deeply for. The way he guards, protects, supports, and takes care of his inner circle is pretty moving. He really cranes out his neck for those that matter to him, and as the white day quiz says; it's like he's kind of a warm blanket as an ally. Just the way he interacts with others in Fuyuki emphasises this, he can be so easy to talk to; he'll offer some great services, and though he can be annoying sometimes, he can be great company too.

Yes I get the people who say Cu is a terrifying warrior- which is especially showcased in how he plays around with weaker opponents/ kills em quickly and talks to them in a friendly yet horrifyingly cold manner concurrently- and he could kill me in my sleep (or anywhere for that matter) BUT he can be so warm as well- or cold- idk he's SEASONAL!!!!!

Yeah, his loyalty is DEFINITELY context dependent (he is a pretty loyal warrior and serves a lord and a friend very well but has had struggles when it comes to loyalty as a lover.... but I tend not to ever talk about that, in fear of pissing off the fans that believe he's a very reliable lover. I'm sorry Cu fans, but I don't quite agree, like YES he can be a good lover but also YES he can fuck up greatly too); but when he cares, he cares deeply and he does his all to be helpful to others- even to the point of self-sacrifice at times-and I really respect that a lot.

Feels like he is a great guy to have as an ally/ friend, which is why I ended up being unable to stop him from becoming MY FAVOURITE GUY OF ALL TIME (sorry gilgamesh).

But there is also a deep seated reason why I hate him so much. I think most of it is just jealousy from the fact that he embraces his role as an outsider, as the one who doesn't quite fit in anywhere; yet is also so popular despite that. I am jealous of his customer service skills, and how he knows so expertly well to craft himself in a way that showcases his best sides to others, and how he isn't afraid to show off his powers. And I am jealous that there are some who see how fucked up he can get, but they still adore him regardless; and he adores them equally too. I AM SO JEALOUS OF CU CHULAINN (especially Lancer) LMAO ITS SO FUNNY I SWEAR TO GOD! Also wtf how dare he rock his blue ponytail and garish clothing and still look sexy I hate it (joking id bang him if he even so much as offered).

And then the next point is I do not like to discuss Cu Chulainn on tumblr (but I LOVE hearing other people's opinions of him). I have witnessed just how mean Cu discourse can get for over 6 years now and it doesn't seem to be improving. However, I have also spoken to many kind and cool Cu fans as well, so the online Cu experience can vary. This is a very unpopular opinion but I LOVE the cute Cu fanarts just as much as the scary ones (cuz its hot i think the duality is SEXY AS FUCK).

But to me the main bit that exhausts me is that it's like I wish there could be a marriage between the different perspectives of this guy, cuz in my opinion I don't really think anyone has gotten him wrong, and it's more like they get him right but maybe certain aspects of him may be more to their particular focus, which is totally fine. I like hearing contrasting takes of Lancer Cu and hope that will continue forevermore.

Like Lancer Cu is full of duality and conflicting and contrasting elements, I believe he just is, y'know. Lancer Cu. But somehow there are loads of tumblr battles about which aspects are more valuable/ less worthy to look at, which REALLY CONFUSES ME!!! And people even sometimes deny Copious Cu Crimes (Cu/CCC) or want to squash out Cute Cu Content (Cu/CCC) which worries me.

(But I am the person who misunderstood his core character for over 6 years, so I admit I used to do this mistake myself. I used to focus so much on his warrior and cold side that I forgot about his affectionate and loving side!)

Why can't warrior cu, adorable cu, scary cu, criminal cu, fucked up cu, mean cu, nice cu, helper cu, loving cu, grumpy ass cu, ruthless cu, perceptive cu, monster cu and funny cu all coexist- please im begging you. And yeah, I also avoid talking about the more negative shenanigans that occurred in certain versions of his myth cuz some of his fans get really angry about it or turn it around to make it seem like I'm the one with a problem for raising it (this actually happened once lmao).

Sorry, I know he did his best to protect his masters in fate and his province as a myth-hero, but the man still also a war criminal in my eyes; through and through. LMAO that is an unpopular take, though. But tbh, I mean if I was a citizen in a holy grail war and Lancer had a master that was like 'hey lancer, drink em for mana' I feel like even if he disapproved, he'd still do it anyway.... That's just how I view him. He can be so wonderful and lovely, but duty comes before all else. That's the vibe he gives me personally. That's why I see his loyalty as context dependent based on individuals involved and the situation itself.

Next yeah, I have unwillingly come around to him because I really did not want to like him at first (I found him intimidating and thought he was wearing a clownsuit at first) but so much for that! Thanks a lot Cu!!! Seriously. One second I was shocked when I witnessed him coldly and ruthlessly kill Shirou on orders and hated on his outfit; next second I was pissing myself with laughter at his banter with Tohsaka Rin- and drooling over that EXACT SAME OUTFIT. How the hell does Lancer Cu even DO THAT? He was just so easy for me to like that I didn't even realise he was my blorbo until I was in deep and I haven't come out since (help me).

Oh gosh it's tough answering every circle. I want to give up! But if he can crack my spine like a crawfish and slurp me up I would likely be grateful. Is this an innuendo or literal though, because if it is literal I will be screaming in pain. But hey, if he's worth it he can slurp my insides anytime (nah i'd cry).

Yeah, my worst mistake and the reason why I struggle so much to characterise Lancer Cu decently is because I have projected so heavily and so MESSILY onto him that I accidentally gave him some of my real life headcanons. And it is so creepy because hopefully me and this guy aren't similar. I mean, I don't think I'm like Lancer Cu at all (most people say I'm like Archer, who I don't really see myself as either). But sorry Lancer Cu, I definitely threw some of my trauma of feeling like an outsider onto you. MY BAD!

Could I make him worse? HAHAHA, YES. Because I can challenge him in terms of ideals (I doubt he'd take me seriously though), and could very easily piss him off. I think my personality is definitely an antithesis to his, maybe I'm even his opposite. Because he's like 'ENJOY THE MOMENT, KEEP BALLING EVEN IF YOUR LIFE IS SHIT, OVERCOME AND ADAPT TO SUFFERING' and he does that very well, even when things knock him to the floor he keeps going (but then in turn runs away from certain issues and struggles to share his traumas).

But I could probably piss him off by saying 'IM BALLING AND OVERCOMING THINGS LIKE YOU BUT THE SUFFERING ISNT FUCKING ENDING AND THE PAIN IS GETTING WORSE THIS IS BULLSHIT' is that a clown 2 clown communication???? I have no idea. I bet he'd hate me for saying that though but that's okay, maybe he'd simply brush me off- but if he was a debate guy I would debate him!

Yeah the pretty privilage, he is a really beautiful man. That's all. He is so beautiful- stunning, even. TT-TT Super pretty. Doesn't help that his personality is interesting as well. Maybe I am just obsessed with him?? And yeah, he is kinda the white noise in my brain, he infiltrates my own actions and life choices by a great deal, I often think sometimes 'HEY WHAT WOULD LANCER CU DO? HOW WOULD HE REACT?' to even the simplest things and start laughing, or someone can remind me of him and I start laughing, or I think 'oh damn wish i could talk to him' I am like the PARASOCIAL FAN! HELP!!!! Also I think about him at random times. Lately, I have become more normal(?) about him but all it takes is 1 thing and he's back in my brain full time again.

Yeah, he is very complex and well written in my personal opinion. I think Nasu and the crew have done really well. I love how great a job they've done of making him seem like an annoying bawdy loud man as well as an incredibly intelligent, perceptive and agile warrior at the same time (and then he can even be bashful too). He a great character, he has so much nuances like a real human being so he gets a 10/10 from me. One personal example I have is that I used to think Cu was ALWAYS the happy loud funny annoying flirt guy off the job, until I started seeing scenes in anime like Emiya Gohan which showcases how no actually he also can be quiet sometimes and enjoy a bit of time alone, or needs time to disengage and cool off by himself.

I mean I don't usually even notice these aspects of characters. But with Lancer Cu, I constantly have to re-learn how to appreciate him because of how varied his character is.

Yeah I got the brainrot, but it's the brainrot of constantly having to readjust the way in which I view him. And the extreme brainrot I get whenever I start going bazongas about his hotness. I keep my Lancer Cu horny thoughts to myself for that reason lmao, I mean I have a crapload of suppressed horny thoughts so i think its horny brainrot in regards to him :)

Idk... I am biting my fist? The more appearances, the better. I am glad he is popular = more canon and fanon content.

As for putting him in situations, I would say stop but .... it's kind of entertaining. But I'd like to see him win a grail war someday. ALSO THOUGH THE WHOLE BAZETT STORY IS SO SAD BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i pray for an alternate saga where Cu and Bazett remain master/servant for the whole war cuz I'd cry if that happened and enshrine it my heart 4eva. I forgot my point for this part now....

For the next one, I used to need Lancer Cu in this way. It was an extremely unhealthy and scary time in my life to be frank. It took me through a journey where I had to confront some very personal issues and traumas. SO THANK YOU LANCER CU FOR FORCING ME TO FACE MY TRAUMAS!!!! Cuz yeah when I say I used to rely heavily on this blorbo to live.... my god. Yeah. It was not a good time. Hahahaha... yeah it was the worst time ever. It took me a long time to even admit he was my blorbo, cuz of all the issues it unleashed in my own personal life.

I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT HIM AT ALL! I PROJECTED MY MENTAL ILLNESSES ONTO LANCER AND THEN HAD TO CONFRONT AND BETTER MYSELF TO OVERCOME THEM AND ENJOY HIM THE WAY I DO TODAY!

I appreciate you for explaining Catherine's work in your context. It is honestly disappointing that there isn't much conversation about her work among her critics/supporters here.

It's just funny because those people who love to bitch about Catherine's work ethic is always silent when she does actually work.

Thank you! Sometimes the discourse is just exhausting. I don't have a problem with people giving their thoughts and opinions, even if they're negative, but what I find very exhausting is a constant stream of negative opinions. I mostly keep things lighthearted because I royal watch because it's fun. I don't get joy out of nitpicking everything they do (especially when the conversation is so drawn out) and why else take the time to run a blog if you're not getting joy from it?!

Anyway - I just find that as someone who works at an organization that lends itself just ever so slightly to a window into what Catherine is doing, I understand the many moving pieces to making change. I see the power and value of what Catherine is doing and I see the potential for longterm success. If I can help someone else understand that too, then I'm happy to do it.

Hi, I hope this isn't weird, but as I see this kind of discourse from one of my favourite author I just wanted to check in if that's a kind of thing you're dealing with too. Without any judgement to anyone. Is it really that important to you guys that we leave comments? Aren't kudos enough? And do you agree that writers have to answer to comments?

It’s alright anon I figured I might get a message like this and I do appreciate having the chance to share my piece because I utterly agree with Susi on every part.

Something that’s worth understanding is I do not have a single artist or writer friend who doesn’t face this issue. Every single one one them, without fail, puts their heart on the line to create and share fan work, and all of them, myself included, struggle with a lack of response. Every gif maker, writer, artist, edit crafter, web weaver, all of them live for the positive comments we receive, the praise. I don’t know a creative without a praise kink, frankly.

This has been true for every fandom I’ve been in since I started posting art online in 2011, and fic in 2017, but it is ESPECIALLY present in F1 RPF because the space is so small, and usually people are so used to clinging to anonymity that the space feels even smaller.

Long discussion under the cut, because I wanted to try and honestly explain the mental process behind why authors and artists ask for a comment.

Speaking from my own experience now (that I’d still put money on being a similar experience for others), posting work of any kind online is a bargain. Yes you do it for yourself in part, but if it was just for myself I wouldn’t post it. When you post, you make the mental deal of “am I willing to accept potential hate or disinterest in this, for the chance to receive love and praise on it”. If you’ve been here a while you’ve seen the anons I’ve received at times; transphobic, homophobic, or just plain hateful. Some were too hateful to even post. I have had an Instagram page make a collage of my art just to laugh at it. But I keep posting, because for me, the joy and community I receive from comments and tags on my work make it worth that bargain. There’s some work that isn’t worth the potential backlash to post. That’s why any of the nsfw art I draw never leaves my close mutuals. I’m not willing to share it online when the result of it would pale against the risk.

Creative work is a deeply personal and heart baring process. It cannot be done easily some days. Yes it’s fun and funny and entertaining at times, but most times when I’m writing, I end up stood utterly alone in my own mind with myself. I cant write if I’m too depressed, because that experience of being alone with myself is too painful. Even on a good day it can be hard. So when I choose to go to that place, remain alone to pour my mind into something I write or draw, it is an exhausting labour of love. It takes hours, I’m not a fast worker, some people are faster than me, some are even slower. I’m alone for all of it.

And so when you put that all together. The work, the creative process, the editing, the cleaning, the preparing for posting, the process of tagging and sorting work so it’ll be seen, then self promoting… the least we can ask for in return is a comment?

You have to understand, kudos or likes are great, but it’s a hand sticking out of the void and giving you a thumbs up. It’s silent, faceless, impression-less. Imagine sending your family a deeply personal message and the response you get is just “👍”. Yeah it’s technically a response, but it’s disproportionate to the Labour afforded beforehand. People posting online are seeking a human connection, that little snap of closeness all human beings through history have craved. A kudos doesn’t really satisfy that craving. I would rather get 20 kudos on fic, but every single one has a comment, than 1000 silent ones. It’s just a number, it takes half a second to press that button and move on. It makes you feel like a cheap commodity that’s consumed and spat out, and that doesn’t even speak for the shame of a thousand eyes looking at your work and saying nothing at all.

When you comment or leave a tag, it shows me you took a second to absorb what I’ve showed you. It slowed you down, made you pause or take a breath, it DID something to you, just like it did something to me to make it. That’s a connection, that snap of a bond. Myself and that commenter now share something, and usually it’s a simple act of gratitude that you see all the work I’ve done to give you something, even if the comment is just “I really liked this!thank you for writing it”. It’s a paltry amount of work compared to what happened to get us there. But I feel less alone for just a little while, just like that fic did for you.

I understand that is still hard to do on occasion. You may be tired, you may feel over exposed or sick, but again you have to remember how hard that creative worked to give you something. On tumblr at least you can still reblog without a comment and increase the chance of someone else doing so. Ao3 doesn’t have that. Even when people filter by kudos they still have to be looking to read something with those tags. It doesn’t do much for the author who is sat faced with numbers. Their work made you feel, think, or just escape your own mind, by commenting, you are giving them the chance to have a moment of the same.

I have a screenshot folder full of comments that have made my day. It’s packed with the words that kept me going, when I doubted I could write at all, when I wondered if my art was good enough. They make a meaningful impact on my life the way I hope my work does for others.

And then you have to understand how… ungrateful it seems, to have people go “well you don’t reply fast enough, so I’m not going to comment.” I understand we all want that connection again, of a reply, and that’s why most authors TRY to do so!

But that author or artist has spent hours creating something for you, they have emotionally laboured and worked and bared themselves, asked you just to say something as your payment, and then you have asked to be paid for that honour? That’s like going into a store, paying for something, and then going “because you didn’t give me an extra gift for paying rather than stealing, I shall simply steal it in future”. That’s kind of insane right? Especially when the work you receive was hand made with love by the person sat in front of you.

I don’t know a single creative person on f1blr I haven’t seen go “I don’t know if posting this is worth it”. And that should worry people. If you come online and devour content without return, you are going to see people stop posting and walk away. I’ve seen it happen over and over and over. This isn’t the hungry hungry caterpillar, you aren’t 5, you don’t get to have your cake and eat it too if you don’t pay the baker who made it. In this case nobody in fandom has the incentive of making a living to continue. I can’t buy things for myself with comments. We don’t get paid. Instead they’re just going to stop sharing and return to only giving cake to people who respond. I’ve got art and fic I wrote only for my friends, because I wanted a reaction and giving it to them was a sure fire way to get it, because I trusted them.

If it becomes more effort to post than it does the return, I simply just won’t. I owe nothing to a faceless void, and so said void should try being less faceless. That’s all people are asking for.

Your babyverse lives rent free in my head. Since your last snippet I only think about Alice and Jasper living in a cozy house with baby Ollie. Alice picking him up at school and Jasper helping him to write his name and his parents names in that cute childish handwriting. All healthy and happy and loving each other forever and a day. And the way Jasper thinks about Ollie as "his boy" 😭😭😭 Sorry about it, you created a monster when you gave me that fic

I still think it's funny you guys love this fic so much. Especially the version I posted when there are six existing variations of how all this went down.

I think my favourite aspect is writing how fatherhood has shaped everyone - as a fandom, there's a lot of discourse on womanhood, feminism, and motherhood because of how emphasized it is in the books, but I haven't seen a lot on fatherhood outside of Carlisle, and Carlisle and Edward's relationship (doesn't mean it isn't out there, it just hasn't come across my dash). But I could waffle on about that for ages; I won't.

I live for the little moments like Jasper getting to introduce Ollie to Peter and Charlotte, and Peter kind of gets this moment of ... closure, almost? That after every single thing that Jasper has gone through and deals with, he's here with a girl who loves him, and their son. And Jasper might be terrified of fucking parenthood up or that Ollie might get sick or hurt, but he's also so, so happy.

Or Alice mathematically working out where Jasper can stand at the local fair so that he can watch Ollie ride a pony for the first time without scaring the poor animal to death because that's one of the memories that Jasper's managed to hold onto all this time - the joy he had around horses when he was a child, and learning to ride.

And then there's all the drama and bullshit - the Volturi, Maria just being extra, Whatever The Fuck Alice and Cynthia's Mother is up to, Ollie having to pretend Alice and Jasper are his cousins when he's too old to look like their son. But that's what makes the happy moments more special.

Have a snippet from an Ollie piece I started before I wrote the 'Daddy' piece. Jasper's a good dad.

In a million years, Jasper never would have guessed he’d end up in this position.

It’s just before six am and the house is quiet, finally. Ollie’s head was against his shoulder, still sniffling around his pacifier as Jasper began the process to make his bottle. Alice and Esme had made up a guide for making Ollie’s bottles to make sure he could feed his son without the risk of burning him, involving three different thermometers and a chart of acceptable temperatures.

He really did prefer when Alice pumped; mixing formula still made him nervous.

Ollie let out a huff of annoyance, but didn’t cry. And he’d been crying since midnight, when he’d woken up and hadn’t been at home.

Alice had dropped him off late the night before, masked up and looking exhausted.

“Cynthia and I both tested positive for strep,” she had explained hoarsely. “I really don’t want Ollie to catch it - can you…?”

He’d taken his sleepy son immediately, and reassured Alice Ollie would be fine; Esme kept the house well stocked for when Alice brought Ollie over.

#asks #anon #my fic: hybrid babyverse #listen some of jasper's good dad vibes definitely coming from alice's expectation that they are partners in this #he doesn't offer so much as she expects #definitely a teaching moment but also part of what makes them work as a couple #they can always ask for the help they need #and have each other's back #alice brandon: girlbossing and gaslighting her civil war boyfriend into being a modern dad #ollie in a bear onesie along for the ride
