#it would be much appreciated <3 | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!

Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.

Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3

Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.

Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.

Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.

Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.

Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

#ao3 #archive of our own #organization for transformative works #i have admittedly only been a member of the committee for a couple of years BUT ive been a member on ao3 since i was much younger #and it took me a hot second to understand how ao3 works; so i wanted to write a lil post about it after seeing this comment #no shade or blame to the person who wrote this by the way!#after being on social media so much it's a completely understandable mistake and i totally get it #and in fandoms populated by younger ppl typically it's even more understandable!#so absolutely no hate no shade no passive aggressiveness #but i do think it is important to learn how the archive works #so if you'd like to share this it would be greatly appreciated! <3 #okay have a good day sorry this post/tags became so long haha

sorry to keep bitching about frustrating rain world fandom trends, but I think if you read downpour as a pure "being alive is good, actually" metaphor with a weird dissonant twist at the end (saint's campaign), that ... reveals a shockingly surface-level reading of the story that ignores every interesting question the game poses in favor of trying to force a comfortable, one-note moral that only actually works if you ignore a significant amount of canon.

like, I'm sorry, but there's no way to in good faith pry a straight answer out of this story. I know fandom tumblr is a hotspot for disillusioned former christians, and stories about how religion isn't all it's chalked up to be are comforting for many, but this simply is not that kind of story. if that's your takeaway from it - that the world the game presents is worth sticking with, that ascension isn't the right choice - that makes sense, it's a valid personal opinion to come away with. however, to argue that the void sea endings are objectively the "bad" endings, or that saint's campaign makes no sense thematically, is to overlook a massively important reason why rain world works so well as a game in the first place: it's intended to be a choice.

saint's ascension ability is in YOUR hands. the game is asking you, the player, what you got out of this, what you think is best. it is asking you to reflect on the themes it's been trying to communicate to you for the last several dozen hours

(can you cope with a life that brings you more pain than joy? if there was another way to exist, would you choose to change? what would you give up to attempt another existence? everything? what if you're being fooled and you're chasing a terrible fate? what if powerful people are preying on your misery and it's all a scam? what is left of you when stripped of all things that cause pain? is it your true self? in a world without pain, what is even left? what if it's everything that means the most to you? what if you're going home? what if you could love without the fear of pain, loss, sickness, death? is the grand more important than the small? is it better to stick with familiar pain, or to chase something frightening that may ultimately make you happy? who can you trust to guide you? who will take advantage of you on the way there? what would get in your way? your own ego? your guilt? bitterness? love for the world you know, an ability to see beauty in the midst of tragedy? is this weakness or strength? etc etc etc don't even get me started on the commentary on religious institutions, classism, structural and familial abuse, and how this is all woven together)

like, I'm sorry, rain world is not a saturday morning cartoon trying to teach you life lessons, it's a piece of interactive fiction using game mechanics as a vehicle for some extremely interesting philosophical discussions, which it politely asks you to actively engage with as you go along. I'm sorry if that's uncomfortable to people who don't relate to those topics, but declaring bad writing on a piece of fiction for not presenting you with a clear-cut moral stance at the end that already aligns with your personal lived experience is just ... a godawful way to interact with stories.

(deliberately handwaving or ignoring major and obvious pieces of symbolism for the sake of declaring it a Good Story That Agrees With You, Actually frankly isn't much better. stop making me read analysis posts where half the story has to be a drug trip for your point to make sense)

#deerchatter #rain world #rain world analysis #yeah im putting it in the tag idc i love this game and if this can make just 1 person go back to the source material and try to #appreciate it in a new way then i'm happy. it has so much to say and i wish more people would listen #im not debating this btw <3 but feel free to ask questions ofc

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN ✨

My current situation, as well as living with chronic pain that often leads to me being sleep-deprived, make it difficult for me to work, especially scheduled hours, but I would like to make a little bit of money off my art, be it the pixel-kind or other. Most of my options are for Baldur's Gate 3, however, the simple edits as well as the physical items step outside of that realm. Here are the options:

A set of 2 simple edits optimized for tumblr use (540x540) featuring your favorite character or an OC.

With or without text, with the color scheme of your choice.

I will need HQ shots of the character for the edits.

You can find more examples of the edits HERE.

PRICE: 5 EUR.

A set of 2 character intro gifs featuring your favorite character or an OC.

Color scheme of your choice.

I will need the sliders/mod list of your character.

You can find examples of these gifs HERE.

PRICE: 20 EUR.

A set of 4 colourful gifs featuring your favorite character or an OC.

Color scheme of your choice.

I will need the sliders/mod list of your character.

You can find examples of these gifs HERE.

PRICE: 20 EUR.

A set of 2 cut-out gif edits featuring your favorite character, an OC, or a couple.

With or without text.

The background/color scheme can be adjusted slightly.

I will need the sliders/mod list of your character.

You can find more examples of these gif edits HERE.

PRICE: 30 EUR.

A minimum of 2 shots featuring your favorite character, an OC, or a couple.

Editing in photoshop is free (or optional)!

I will need the sliders/mod list of your character.

The background/setting/animation is your choice, but I might need your save file if it's something very specific.

For posed shots you can either choose a simple background or in-game setting.

Standard vp dimensions: 2560x1440.

More examples of my virtual photography HERE.

PRICE: Listed above per 1 shot.

I ALSO accept custom orders for the headpieces on my Etsy page.

Can customize the primary and secondary colors to your liking. The only limit will be the paint available to me, but I have a pretty decent collection, so don't be afraid to DM if you have a very specific idea!

PRICE: Listed on my Etsy store page.

CONTACT ME:

You can reach me through tumblr DMs to inquire about a commission and then we could move to either email or discord for files/details.

WAIT TIME:

I reserve 2 weeks for each order or commission, please do not rush me, I am doing my best and will get back to you as soon as I can!

PAYMENT:

I accept payment through ko-fi, paypal, or etsy (if it's physical goods).

100% of the price is paid upfront after confirming the details. Please, do not send me a payment without confirming first (especially on ko-fi where I'd consider it a donation).

I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason.

#commissions #edit commissions #art commisions #graphic commissions #artists on tumblr #commission info #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 commissions #was super nervous to make this but hey #i can make a lot of things and if people want i can make things for them!#reblogs would be very very much appreciated! ♥#slightly UPDATED because my wrists are turning to ash

personally I think Holly Black was really brave for dropping the "Cardan and Oak don't get along" bomb months before the book publishes. everyone has spent the past year and a half frothing at the mouth at the thought of a post-timeskip Cardan and she was like "<3 no <3"

#once again she knows EXACTLY how to make me feel like she is writing for me personally #i am not naiive enough to think she could write ACTUAL animosity between them. i bet it's 95% oak being insecure.#BUT. at least it is there for a little bit. and i appreciate it so much. jurdan had their series it's oak and suren time <3 #tfota liveblog #tsh liveblog #the prisoner's throne spoilers #oak being like ''oh my god. is it finally happening. cardan finally convinced jude she should assassinate me.'' is my lifeblood #like my little guy. cardan has this big sibling issue that means he would never hurt you. but i am so happy to know you think he would <3

After months of work I’ve FINALLY finished repainting over much of her sprites, as well as added another outfit! The last one is heavily inspired by and gifted from her girlfriend, Esmico 💙

Words cannot express how happy I am with how she came out and to have her back in business! I’ve leaned in way more for her butterfly and opalescent aesthetic instead of stained glass, and figured it would be fun to give her minor mutations like the wing bits<3

[SHE/HER]

#artists on tumblr #fantrolls #homestuck #hiveswap #Gabriel's arts #my god when was the last sprite i did for myself that i FINISHED. was it viserys??#NYAYWAS IM INCREDIBLY PROUD OF HER AND I KNOW ITS LATE BUT I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE #PLENTY LOVE FOR HER #this post deserves just as much if not More love that her original post 3 years ago #as a treat #also her buns are supposed to be wrapping around herlil horn stubs #BUT #i gotta edit it later so it doesnt look like her horns are missing nhdbgfbgfbg i got too caught up in making them look cute n perfect tm #and used the wrong reference #ANYHOW AFTER MANY MONTHS IM PROUD OT SAY SHES HERE AND IS OPEN FOR ASKS
