Look, even if this doesn’t work out, even if we don’t get renewed/picked up, even if all we get out of this is getting noticed and tarnishing Max’s already shitty rep, at least the cast and crew see how much we care.

But also, at least it connected us. There’s so many people who were inactive in fandom, just lurking around coming out to try and save it. There’s celebs noticing us, articles written. We came together and shared our fave fanart and fave moments and connected over something we loved so hard Max’s social media people are probably on the verge of exhaustion right now.

Idk it’s just beautiful to see everyone, even ppl who weren’t the most ecstatic about some choices in s2, come together and fight so hard for something that made them feel happy and made the feel seen. Even if we don’t get more content, it was not for nothing

#ofmd #our flag means death #renew as a crew #this whole movement actually kind of lifted my cancellation blues #not only bc I have a shimmer of hope #but bc it’s so lovely to see this fandom in action #gives me hope that we won’t just burn out #idk man it’s very nice to see all of us fight so hard for a silly pirate show

I just need everyone to be aware

That when I first introduced BMC to my dad the FIRST question he asked was “does Michael have a crush on Jeremy?” And then I said “well that’s the thing- this lead to me explaining shipping. And he was like “well Michael definitely has a crush on Jeremy.”

#I just thought it was funny that this dude who knows nothing about this musical or fandom #Picked up on the same things we did #Boyf Riends is subtlety implied in the musical and my mind won’t be changed #boyf riends #i don’t know how to tag boyfs #What do we use?#Boyf Riends? Boyf-Riends? Boyfriends? boyf riends?#I can’t with this ship name #It’s cute but I need someone to give me a canon spelling #michael x jeremy #There we go #be more chill #BMC

DC has once again accidentally given Dick Grayson an interesting character trait by being repressed bigots and I can’t stop thinking about it

Specifically this time I’m thinking about how they keep queerbaiting Dick but it actually makes sense with his character if you think about it for two seconds

Because No, I Don’t Think That He Would be open about his sexuality with others, if he has come to terms with it at all

While I’d love to talk about the history of queerness in comics, I don’t have the energy for it right now. What I will say however is that modern day Dick Grayson is written as a very millennial character, in both fan-spaces and modern comics despite whatever age the retcons have set

I think people forget how far queer acceptance has come in recent history, twenty years ago, even ten years ago, we were not at the place we are now, it’s honestly insane how quickly things changed from 2015 to now

Like, No He Wouldn’t be ‘out and proud’ in the Gen Z sense, most older gay people that I know are private about their gender and sexuality, either because of bullying when they were younger, abuse, or the media never picturing queer people as anything other than villains or jokes

He’s had constant media pressure on him from an early age, in both aspects of his identity, his ethnicity already makes him stray from the ideal cishet WASP that a private school and Bruce’s social circles would want him to be, even as he got older his love life was in the public eye when he dated Kori as Dick Grayson

And that’s not even getting into how his relationship with his sexuality would be affected by his history of sexual abuse

Him appearing on pride covers/events or openly supporting queer people in the text is different from him turning to the audience and saying “Hey, I’m bisexual,” or “Did you know that I’ve always been demisexual and biromantic?” or even a “I like guys too,” and frankly it would be out of character for him to say so

For some people, being out to close family and friends is wildly different from ‘coming out,’ especially for a public figure like Dick Grayson or Nightwing is in his world. And I feel like that could make an interesting dynamic with a member of his family like Tim, who is out publicly as Tim Drake-Wayne. Tim who is written as a part of Gen Z in his early twenties or something rn (even though 90’s kid Tim will always have my heart)

And this is a personal anecdote but I’m thinking about how my little sister and I were standing in the checkout line one day and she starts talking about how gay an outfit that I tried on looked, and how quickly I changed the subject. She about nine years younger than me but old enough to know that we live in a conservative area. It was a bit panic inducing, and it’s so interesting to think about how even though I’m on the older side of Gen Z, I was still raised in a culture that said we don’t talk about these things especially not in public. Like I was still called a dyke in middle school but when I hit junior year all of a sudden it was trendy (if a bit fetishized) to be bi. She, thankfully, never really has to deal with that

So whenever he’s on a pride variant cover and people are complaining about a lack of formal representation, all I can do is seethe bc yes it’s completely in character for him but obviously detective comics comics isn’t doing it on purpose

#he would not say that but it’s about dick being open about aspects of his identity #and this isn’t to say I hate fanon AUs where everyone is gay with no consequences and homophobia doesn’t exist #I just was thinking about how DC keeps baiting the fandom with little quips and covers and cameos #but if they had him outright come out on page and pretended like he’s never had any struggles with his sexuality I think I’d actually riot #he strikes me as the kind of person to come out to his family much later in life #after he’s got everything in his brain figured out #when Dick Grayson trusts you with information about his life he’s giving you a gift #and it’s shown that he’s only going to give it to people he knows won’t use it to their advantage #dick grayson analysis #dick grayson #this got long #*

went into the notes of that poll going around about if people want more seasons of supernatural and was immediately slapped in the face with how different my priorities are in this fandom from. a lot of it. what are you talking about ‘destiel endgame’. girl the show has bigger problems to fix than that if it ever had more seasons. they taught a three year old that the best way to be loved was to continuously try to kill himself and then they made him god.

#i can’t honestly imagine any world where there’s destiel and its like. satisfying. in any way.#as in: your options here are a) ignore the last seasons of dean. not treating cas very well to put it bluntly. you’d just have to ignore #that and go straight to They’re Fine :) Happy Ending which is. what i am picking up that the people on that poll want.#or b) go all in and make this a horror story to the end. give them destiel and make it exactly as fucked and miserable as it would #realistically be. and then that whole side of the fandom would be mad because toxic gay people shouldn’t exist actually. too complicated.#and the thing is that neither of these are at all satisfying. the second one is better. but its still. bad.#im being serious here im not trying to beat down on this. i genuinely cannot see a way. with the last few seasons setting things up the way #they did. that destiel endgame would make anyone happy. or be good. at all.#anyway like i said there’s bigger problems. new god went through years of child abuse and believes he deserved it because he was born wrong.#look me in the eyes and try to tell me this will lead to a good outcome. jack is about to do godstiel arc 2 except he won’t explode from it.#he is about to kill so many people who are Bad. and not see why that would be wrong to do.#okay im done im done i swear

folks im doing a pruning spree of my following for the sake of my own sanity (i follow too many people and it is stressing me out) and i apologise in advance if i accidentally unfollow any mutuals with whom i talk less 🫶 feel free to shoot me a msg if that happens

#i have terrible memory so i can only be sure i won’t unfollow my friends and other people i see often in my notifs #jay rambles #saying this here bc it’s also getting to a point where q*mp fandom is starting to stress me out #and i want to curate that #i don’t want my fandom experience to be ruined by my stress yknow #also it’d be great if tumblr could invent a mute button …. like the filtering option doesn’t do it 4 me #and i don’t like blocking people bc like . it’s mcrp . who gives a shit . i block terfs and bigots bro not mcrp enthusiasts

Hai!

So, i know its been a while, and as much as i love your star wars stuff i am *dying* of curiosity. With the new spider verse out (at least in cinema) what are the chances of you adding some more to your Marvel side??

I've been missing all the feral babies something fierce and with the hopefully vague enough addition of another feral Spidey and also just amazing (heh) spidey's I am just ./pray

Waiting, hopeful and respectfully. If its not on the cards tho that's 1000% Alright! Life be life-ing, especially in this reality, and sometimes the writing gods just ain't with ya. (Or they are with a different project :P)

I’ve gotten a few asks like this over the last few days, and I love everyone’s excitement and I can that y’all’s intent is good.

But I will point out that this is exactly why I stopped ❤️

#fic #ask #I nearly wrote smth last night but I logged on and had all these messages and the pressure and memories of the entitled fans just #came flooding back #So just please.#I am begging y’all to give me my space and to hold what I have already made for you in your hands #Yes I have watched ATSV #No I don’t want to comment on it right now #No I won’t help you find marvel fics #I wrote so many for you #Ao3 has a search function for my work and for the fandom works in general.

and the way Thor is so casual about looking like somebody else, it's clear that loki has turned him into others or other girls often

Thor: not this again. Loki with his strange habit of turning me into women and then checking me out -_-

#it’s ok Thor don’t worry he does that when you’re yourself too it’s called ‘looking someone over’ and it’s because he cares #like fr people think in a hypothetical Thor/Loki world that Loki would line forever. Loki. LOKI. Loki who sincerely talks about his feelings #yeah nice try fandom you won’t trick me I already know if Loki is giving love confessions and flirting as bros no way would interest #not be ultra clear #checkmate #Thor’s the one who would pine for ever and ever #but also Thor and Loki probably had to disguise often I reckon for quests and stuff #Loki turns Thor into a girl and they’re in a dangerous or public situation so he grits his teeth and plays along #Thor like ‘ugh. younger brother shenanigans. -_- don’t you have when your bro makes you a girl -_-‘’#warriors 4: you brothers are just unique we think. well we actually try not to think about it. we like to focus on the missions mostly.

So I was feeling kinda depressed since my blog kinda dies when I’m focusing on my health and irl life, and character development, writing and art takes a lot of time to create something impressive and coherent.

so since I need notes for my blog to stay alive while I work on stuff i thought I’d make a cool sans au to show everyone on tumblr so I get thousands of notes and really cool fanart and get featured in tiktoks and stuff with my character.

Since this is all it takes to become famous in the undertale fandom I thought I’d just throw away all the research I’m doing and just go with what works yanno?

😳 maybe I’ll draw horny art of him next, that’ll reel in the notes.

#I wonder if you can tell that I made him up in less than five minutes #I’m a creative genius I know #give me an Oscar #This is mostly hj I’m just kinda frustrated by the on going trend of “overly complicated character design with little thought put into it-#Gets more attention than anyone else’s complex well thought out character”#I see so many amazing talented people on tumblr with the coolest characters and the coolest ideas and art that get so much less traction #than people who just like got famous after drawing one character in 2016 and now they have thousands of followers #I know tumblr has no algorithm but I admittedly get kinda sick of the apparent favouritism in the fandom. But maybe that’s just how it is #I guess if you post frequently enough you rule the world.#quality takes time #I wish I didn’t feel like I need to post art multiple times a week despite not having the time todo so #just so people will see my content and I’ll grow as a blog #i’ll never be good enough #no matter what I do #because I can’t draw as frequently and post with the tags people see the most #I try todo tumblr casually but it hurts because people won’t see me and get invested in my ideas because my ideas take time #I can’t get famous without posting I can’t post something that’ll be good enough if I don’t put the effort into it #I don’t know sometimes I feel isolated on here #everyone else has everything figured out.

alright, i have come to the decision i am keeping this blog up as an archive and leaving the gt tumblr community for the foreseeable future.

when i made my post about chamomile-g-tea’s damaging treatment of my story, gtms, my goal was to acknowledge the situation so i could hopefully move forward and restore gtms/my blog as mine again, without her influence. and while i anticipated backlash, some of the responses were just...downright disturbing. lots of comments echoed a victim-blaming sentiment that i am responsible for the emotional and creative damage done to me by another person because ‘why didn’t you just say no or tell her to stop?’ not only does this ignore the several attempts i did make to express discomfort and set boundaries—which were not respected—but even if i didn’t manage to express a ‘no’, that doesn’t make what happened ok; it doesn’t erase the year of crippling pressure and guilt i lived with and still struggle to shake daily. realizing that so many people in this community think otherwise is just...disturbing. it’s disturbing. that’s the only word i can think to use.

the response to all this does not make me feel safe being here—that’s what this situation has unfortunately showed me: that the audience i hoped to allow to view my reclaiming process would also contain the same crowd who make me feel so unsafe—and why the fuck would i let those people see something as personal as that? why would i let them see anything? it’s made me understand i can’t continue to heal myself and my writing if i am posting it for other people, especially harmful people. and even though it turned out this way, i’m glad i gave it a shot; that i made that post as an effort to see if it was even possible or worth it to restore this space—even if the answer was no! absolutely fucking not!—because it saved me from even more time spent sharing my work with people who do not respect me as a person or a creator. i’m glad i tried, however much it sucked, because it allowed me to understand: it is not just one person in this community i feel unsafe with, but a solid percentage of the community at large that i just cannot healthily engage with, and no amount of blocking will fix that.

but of course this is not the only situation that showed me this community’s true colors—the dismissive or outright aggressive response to the calling out of racism in our tropes has also been deeply disturbing. to clarify, there is no problem in identifying with and finding comfort or catharsis in problematic tropes such as the pet trope, but there is a problem with using that comfort to make others feel unsafe and speak over people of color. and the solution to this trope problem is very simple—generally apply critical thinking skills to the media you enjoy, and tag your shit properly (dead dove, particularly when the giant owner/abuser doesn’t face consequences and/or if the abused/abuser fall in ‘love’—dead dove is not actually currently used in this community, that’s the problem). but rather than taking this as an opportunity to listen and improve, it was instead used as a chance to lash out at and make clear that poc are not welcome in this community and come secondary to the feelings of white creators and readers.

over the last few years, this community has fostered and been exposed for bigotry such as terfs, ableists, racists, etc, and especially in the current political era, this is no longer a community i want to share my work with or even just lurk in. and i know on the surface this community seems progressive, but take a better look and you’ll find members of the community doing and saying…questionable things, or keeping quiet and enabling their friends who do and say questionable things because they would rather be passive and polite than be genuinely kind and compassionate through active accountability.

of course this is the risk you take interacting with any person ever—but it’s especially taxing to look around at such a small, close knit community you know is riddled with these problems and wonder if the people making innocent posts are actually harmful; if they prioritize their comfort over the safety of marginalized people, if they even see you as a full person, and for me, personally—if they are willing to overlook consent to blame you for your trauma and defend the person who inflicted it. it’s taxing to explain basic basic concepts to strangers over and over in a place that prides itself on being a safe space, where people just have fun and mentally escape from irl hardships. it’s taxing to ride out shitty, hateful treatment when you are just simply one person (voluntarily providing free services btw) with only so much energy and fucks to give. it is not worth the strain it puts on you as a person, nor is it your responsibility to sit there and accept it, and i am not the only creator in this community who feels this way. we are fucking tired.

quite simply, this is not a community i feel comfortable participating in or sharing anything with. and that’s a shame, because there are wonderful, creative and caring people here who i have enjoyed sharing this space with, and maybe someday i’ll give this community another chance, but currently it’s just not worth the time of day. and i want to make it clear: my leaving is not simply because of just one person or just one situation—that i could handle—it is the community itself that is the root problem; that continues to be harmful, in multiple contexts—that is the reason why i and several other creators are leaving for greener pastures and more enjoyable communities—or just simply for a fucking moment’s worth of peace, because lord knows you won’t find it here.

#i considered making this post just ‘yea i feel unsafe here i’m leaving’#but i did want to post a clear explanation for mutuals still here n the ppl who come across my blog in the future #instead of leaving it to speculation and guess work #so i wrote a fucking essay lmao #but there are more personal details i didn’t go into bc they’re distressing and some of y’all are straight awful<3 #however i will say you are not inside anyone else’s head if they say they feel unsafe it is not for you to question that #anyways privileges to myself and my writing are officially revoked #when i’m ready to share writing it’ll be with close friends in private #and maybe eventually on another site like ao3 but if that happens it won’t be for a while #and if i do post gtms there it will prolly be v different from the version here bc it’ll be the restored and improved version #i hate the version on this site<3 #for now i just need to get back into the swing of things bc rn it is. so hard to Think at all #i’ll also be doing things on my fandom account i am just leaving this community bc good lord #if you told me a month ago i’d be leaving this community i’d have been devastated but now?#having seen sm of this community’s true colors one after another?#i don’t give a fuck now #the only thing i feel is relief #the community i thought i was apart of does not exist and it made me physically sick to realize and experience that reality #for all its problems i did not think so MUCH of the gt community was this vile #i’ve run this blog for years and closing this chapter just brings me closure and peace #and to those of y’all who are alright n still here: good fucken luck lmfao wish y’all the best dealing w this shitshow #gt community #giant/tiny #gt #g/t #sfw g/t #gtms #gt mech suits

Wip but you know what

I was initially SO bothered by this guy not having a nose or eyebrows but the more I make art with him I’m just like “oh thank fuck the little guy doesn’t have many facial features this is way easier than making Poppy or whoever else”

#Welcome Home #Welcome Home fanart #clay art #clay figures #clay figurines #clay sculpture #polymer clay #art wip #wip #ngl right now he looks like if ET dressed as Elvis Presley #I just need to finish his other foot and clean him up some and bake it #but it’s been fun to work with clay again!!#I feel like anyone who’s followed me for a while and maybe saw me post one or two things art wise #are now probably confused and concerned by the sheer amount of art I’ve produced in a short time #for a fandom I’ve just joined #however I fucking love these little guys’ designs and they translate so well into other mediums #it’s made me enjoy art again which honestly like #I’m sure it won’t be long before I’m bored again and I just stop making art for this fandom lol #but it’s been nice to give in and just sketch and doodle whatever and whoever #my art
