Rare Alu Rant About Fandoms bc I never say shit:

Sue me, but getting into a fandom just for the intention of becoming popular is so weird to me.

Like sure you want a lot of people to see what you make. Because making something for the fandom should be seen! That’s dope as hell.

But you’re gonna lose inspiration real fast when you find out content creation takes a lotta work but more often than not comes with little reward.

I hold firmly the belief that Fandom is for making content for the pure reason of just because you can.

✨the joy of free will to bring your delusions to life so others can indulge in their delusions as well✨ Kinda vibes? Yanno?

I never started making HL content with the idea in mind that I’d reach 9k followers on tiktok. And I ain’t gonna lie it’s daunting for me. Specially as someone whose always just made shit for whatever reason without even posting it. But The videos that got me views and followers on tiktok, were made because I was high and wanted to laugh. And I’d figured “what the hell, this made me laugh….Maybe it will make someone else laugh.” And I’m glad it did.

And now I float around just making stuff. I still make whatever I want tbh. I do my best to give credit where credit is due in what I make. And yeah I’ve done some fan service videos and writing here and there because hey it’s fun for me.

I see so many posts or peoples bios saying that they’re working towards being popular in fandom and then their posts are what other people said or made on Twitter or tiktok or Vice versa and there’s often times there’s no real credit to original creators.

Don’t get me wrong, if it’s properly credited, AWESOME. Usually it’s not though, and that’s just wild to me. Because how are you expecting to get popular under your own name when you’re just reposting stuff.

That doesn’t make you a content creator.

A historical collector guess?? Because you’re like idk collecting all the stuff people made and what not onto a new page.

Idk dude. I just miss authenticity I guess. People making stuff and just being excited to show it.

Don’t get me wrong though it’s not all terrible on here and everywhere on the internet for fandoms. I’ve made close friends with other creators who feel and see fandom much the same. Just here to vibe and escape.

I’m not saying I don’t think views and followers and likes and notes or what have you, matter. I know they do. I get a lil confidence boost when something I make pops off. I feel proud.

But man it’s the intention of “ Im trying to be a popular creator” that rubs me the wrong way. Make stuff because you like it. Not because other people will. Doing whatever to get you likes wont bring the same satisfaction. And in more cases than not I see it backfiring and causing drama because, like I said it’s usually shit that’s copied or reposted.

Who knows maybe I’m just old and don’t understand bc I also see fandom and the work I’ve contributed as something I wouldn’t like boast about in real life. Because the reaction wouldn’t be positive. Like just for enjoying Hogwarts legacy I get teased in my daily life from acquaintances. It’s not totally negative. Buts it’s enough for me to know that YEAH 9k followers on tiktok don’t mean anything in the real world LMAO because at the end of the day, offline, I am still just a nerd whose daydreaming in her bedroom to escape reality.

I’m 24 dude. And I work in news. Shit is exhausting. Read a headline and you’ll see what I mean. And I just wanted to rant about it because it’s been bugging me since I joined fandom again last year.

But due to, idk my follower count and whatnot I always felt like I can’t or rather I shouldn’t speak my mind so much for fear of SOMEONE coming for me for something. And man I hate that feeling bc this bitch has opinions and I dislike the idea of feeling like others have control over it. But tbh eh. I wanted to rant. Just speaking into the void of the internet.

If you decide to send anon hate for my opinionated rant be ready for a meme bc I don’t have the mental capacity to take anything other than my IRL life responsibilities seriously lmao.

#credit wars are wack #just credit people YALL #I don’t know or think anything I’ve made has been reposted #don’t really care bc at the end of the day what can I do #I care more when other peoples work is stolen tho #why? #dunno. #fandoms are for fun #and I just hate when the fun is ruined over drama that stems from lack of respect for one another #hogwarts legacy #harry potter #sebastian sallow #fanfiction #art #ominisgaunt #hlcreators

i think if sevvy had some of those sexy goth spine candles in his office it would fix him

#pro snape #severus snape #snape #snape headcanon #like sure. give Remus Lupin of all people the sexiest office in the entire school. that makes so much sense #i’m tired of yall acting like severus snape has zero taste. he has taste he just needs access to the hogwarts school credit card and a grant #i would take him to goodwill and the local thrift stores. human crow to shiny object like a heat seeking missile

Anyone ask for a needlessly long and emotional dissection of when and how Crowley and Aziraphale fell in love? No? Too bad.

I'm going to start with something controversial.

Aziraphale fell in love first.

To explain this, we gotta get a few things out of the way first.

FALLING in love and KNOWING you're in love are very different things. And the whole concept of LOVING someone and BEING IN LOVE are also different things.

Aziraphale LOVES Crowley from, well from before the Beginning. Because they are both angels and angels love. I would even accept the argument that Aziraphale LOVES Crowley throughout their flashback scenes before the Arrangement (because again, he is an angel).

The Arrangement is born out of a symbiotic want of Crowley and Aziraphale to fuck around and not do their jobs enjoy humanity.

It is my personal belief that Aziraphale FELL in love with Crowley in 1941 when he saves the books (not a hot take, I know).

He REALIZES he is in love with Crowley when he gets the Holy Water for him and the closest we get to that is this scene.

Aziraphale thinks that Crowley wants to use the Holy Water as some kind of last-ditch attempt to get out of trouble. He knows it will kill him, and is incredibly dangerous in general. But he does it anyway. Why? Because he knows Crowley would find a way to get it regardless (most likely some dangerous plan that will result in death or grave injury). At least this way Aziraphale can feel somewhat at peace with the knowledge that Crowley no longer needs to do something reckless to get what he wants. He overtly goes against Heaven in this act, and this is one of only a few times we see him do this to such a degree (see Job).

It is my personal belief, and I'm sorry to be this person, but I don't think that Crowley was IN LOVE with Aziraphale in this scene or in any before it (def well on his way, but we'll get there).

I think that Crowley was still hopelessly intrigued by this angel who did fantastical things, like drink and eat and immerse himself in the aspects of humanity he adored.

And another controversial take I have is that the "you go too fast for me" is not Aziraphale saying he recognizes Crowley's feelings and his own and that Crowley is too fast for him in that respect. Because again, I don't think Crowley is IN LOVE with Aziraphale here.

I think Aziraphale is saying you go too fast for me, you treat life like a speedrun to get to the good parts. Hell, Crowley slept through the 19th century because he wanted time to move forward. Aziraphale recognizes this. He's in love with this demon who won't slow down and appreciate the mundane, human things that Aziraphale treasures. He goes too fast. He never settles down.

(I could do a whole analysis on this scene, but we'd be here till GO Season 3 came out)

I also could accept the argument that Azi realizes he is in love in this scene here when he hesitates before saying friends (Michael Sheen I'm in your walls what the hell was this shit).

Because it does make sense that this is the first time we really see Aziraphale say what they are. But he hesitates so much. Keep in mind this happens AFTER the whole book saving incident. Does he hesitate because holy shit the person I like just did something really sweet and I see them in a new light? Possibly. I still think that Aziraphale deciding to give Crowley the Holy Water was his declaration. But I could be swayed.

Crowley is different in this respect. Contrary to popular belief, I think Crowley falls in love with Aziraphale slowly. So slowly that he doesn't even recognize it as being IN LOVE until it's pointed out by Nina.

Because he falls in love slowly, it's hard to pinpoint an exact scene where he is FALLING IN LOVE. I think throughout the first season (and before when the two are meeting up semi-regularly), when he and Aziraphale are trying to co-parent Warlock and the subsequent hunt for the real antichrist is the clearest I can get to him being IN LOVE.

(Putting this gif in because holy shit, I mean, fuck, bro)

Let me explain.

Until this point (the handful of years prior to and during S1), he and Aziraphale were ships passing in the night. Crowley liked the mystery, the excitement of seeing the angel every so often. Got joy out of teasing him. But this is when Aziraphale becomes more than that. He becomes more of a constant in Crowley's life. And ever since his Fall Crowley has craved stability. A safe place to land. He changes his hair, his clothes, his accent. But Aziraphale doesn't. He just... is. He is constant, mostly unchanging, and still endlessly intriguing.

Crowley is IN LOVE with Aziraphale when he realizes that Aziraphale isn't going anywhere (yet). Crowley can rely on him. And for Crowley, that's something he's never had before.

Crowley LOVES Aziraphale. And he is IN LOVE with Aziraphale, but I genuinely don't think he recognizes it until he could lose him. (He's always been a bit dramatic; it would follow that his realizations only occur under dire circumstances).

Here, when he feels he is losing Aziraphale, Crowley does the one thing he never has before: says what he's feeling. Granted, it's sandwiched by a sassy one-liner and being shit at communication. But it's there.

And I think that he thinks, it's a fluke. One moment of weakness.

But then it happens again. When he's losing Aziraphale. And he can't say anymore. He's done his speech, he's thrown out the nightingales. There's nothing for it.

He KNOWS he is IN LOVE with Aziraphale when he's losing him.

#totally open to discussing this further but please be respectful #this is just my interpretation of their characters #not saying it's the end all be all truth #I just think Crowley is a lot more slow about it than people give him credit for #He's naturally distrusting of others #It would follow that he would be distrusting of himself #theres also that whole self-worth stuff #He never feels truly worthy of forgiveness and says as much in season 1 #100% prepared to walk all of this back when S3 comes out lmao #watch neil be like “actually they confessed their feelings in Heaven before Crowley fell because fuck yall” #good omens meta #good omens #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands

OCs are not accepted very much by the pinterest users #cuz pinterest isn't a home for fandom. It's basically just google lmao but people can comment on the pictures. #But I rlly do appreciate people commenting and crediting me on the comments+directing them to tumblr.

the touden siblings wouldve love being in the scouts at least a little. but this made me realize i Do Not Know what other countries' scouts activities are? here we do marching drills and train camping skills (usually learning rope knots and a little bit of first aid) mostly. no selling cookies.

#laios wouldve hated the marching drills tho. falin would b v good at first aid #laios would faint from the heat at least once and the first aid people would sit him under the three and give him some sweet tea #both would stall behind the group when hiking looking at the plants/critters #my art #just a doodle though #dungeon meshi #laios touden #falin touden #they wouldve prefer hiking exclusively but they will pick pramuka if their school doesnt have hiking elective #i want marcille in paskibra just so i can dress her up. kabru would be in the student council. toshiro is a foreign exchange student. #senshi would be a lunch... lad?? he will have a food stall #shuro will be in the scouts too bc of laios. he stays bc of falin #chilchuck will man the koperasi. do yall have that in your place? student credit union? #namari would ride a motorbike to school. i just know it. (she has to sell it later bc of her fathers debt)

My art keeps getting reposted and it’s so annoying uhhhhhhhhhggggg I believe I speak for all artists here

Asking for permission beforehand and giving credit is literally the bare minimum- like what is stopping you? It’s cheap ass behaviour just yoinking.

Imma just start putting really big and annoying watermarks and stuff at this point- make it as unappealing as possible

Pls inform me if my art is reposted anywhere.

#annoyyyyedddddddd #people will say I’m overreacting- it’s 👏🏼ANNOYING 👏🏼BESTIE👏🏼 #bruh if you ask me I’ll 80% of the time say yes as long as you give me credit JEEZ- #JUST ASK or if not at least give credit YALL how hard is it to write someones URL ?? #it actually really demotivates artists ya know? no more stealing art if an artist stops drawing huh- #not pjo #artist struggles

not saying the writing is perfect in all facets, but what exactly did the writers do that was so bad that some of you write off anything good they do to be the result of pure coincidence?

I get duffer atheists in my notes every time I point out some little characterization/set detail. do you think these characters just evolved onto your screen on their own without anybody planning and writing them? "ohh could this be on purpose?? I know they didn't plan this" why not? remind me why are we so sure the writers of one of the most successful shows of the decade are completely inept?

#some of you give me (some rando blog) credit for the observations I make and explicitly NOT the writers who made them happen #it boggles me man #I sound pissed in this post but I'm not I'm just confused #if some of yall were mike you'd unroll that painting and be like #omg will... i don't know if you know this but... these 4 people you painted.... they look a lot like our friend group... omg... #I know it was just an accident buddy but... it makes me wonder if subconsciously... u were thinking of us..... #I'm so creative for interpreting this pattern from the chaos... my brain is so large.... credit 2 me... painting by mike wheeler.... :}

the reason ive become an extreme wet cat hugo truther is because back then i was still reading on wattpad and all the 7k fics depicted varian as a shy uwu flustered boi who turned into a tomato when hugo called him a babycakes pookie pie smth smth i forgot. with hugo being a muscular alfa male. and it didn't sit right with me but i wasn't gonna hate on it obviously.

but now the truth(/hj) is reaching us and it's that hugo's a sopping boyfailure wet cat and varian literally committed more crimes than he did at 14. it has fullfilled me. the edits that blur hugo's face and add a tw at the beginning and stop putting him on this "hot badass" pedestal. he has been microwaved to hell and back in people's brains. couldn't be happier.

#yall dont take this seriously i wrote this while having a FEVER. #vat7k #tts #varian and the seven kingdoms #tangled the series #berry's shitposts #sometimes people treat varigo not as an actual ship with it's own special dynamic and characteristics #but as this way to make hugo this badass smart hot thief and varian this y/n shy nerd #plus - varian has committed more crimes than hugo has not to mention he's just as gifted at alchemy #so what this post means to say is: i appreciate the people who depict hugo as more flawed human and pathetic and give more credit to varian #instead of treating either of them as this sort of self insert and also ignore nuru and yong

I think one of the loveliest part of the prewritten campaign modules is seeing fanart for all the different characters and hearing about the different ways they were a part of people's campaigns and hearing about the cute little variations in personalities that different DMs give them. But sometimes the flipside of that is looking at how someone talks about a character and being like? That's not MY son?

#dnd #i am fine with different interpretations.nobody come at me #but sometimes the choices made baffle me #i am talking about Jarlaxle #people make him a lot more villainous than he actually is #or even worse ive seen some people make him kind of... stalkery.. which i despise #also as my partys resident Jarlaxle fucker its funny to me how people describe romancing him sometimes #some people always talk about romancing him like its some idk tragedy waiting to happen or is some YA dark romance bullshit #and i was sitting here like #my bard just agreed Luskan should prob have credit for the money that seems logically sound #they just liked each other idk #i picture them like going to the damn opera together and making fun of nobles fashion choices #like am i boring or are yall just being #this makes me sound full of myself #which is true i am #but some of the jarlaxle interpretations im like where did that come from

finished rereading and annotating Great Gatsby. Daisy and Tom make me sick /non negative.

#dorian reads classics #dorians great gatsby analyses <3 #no bc like i cant even bring myself to hate Tom by the end of the book anymore #everytime i reread it i get to page 179 (lmao) and its just like. he doesnt even see what he did as wrong. #he is able to completely justify himself and his actions bc its Right By Him and like while its not right hes so deep rooted in his beliefs #but also because he doesnt want to be the Bad Guy in this situation where most everyone is a bad guy. Ough. #AND THEN AND THEN #'[...] They were careless people; Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money...' #'...or their vast carelessness; or whatever it was that kept them together; and let other people clean up the mess they had made' #(pg 179; The Great Gatsby; F. Scott Fitzgerald) #<btw guys that credit took me three times to type it correctly in the right format pls appreciate it) #THAT PARAGRAPH MAKES ME SO SICK BC THE PARALLELS??? #Absolutely UNMATCHED. #This might seem really silly and really fucking stupid but I really hope Fitzgerald knows that theres someone SO autistic bc this book #that it consumes most of his thoughts (its me.) #Yall should see the book mark Ive been using too bro...

[bugbuoyx]

going through some tags and seeing the most insane shit. people will literally believe anything about anyone with literally no proof, no screenshots no links, as long as its the negative hot topic.

"x is a zionist" x is a jewish person who has literally called for palestine to be free.

"x is a pedophile" x is a trans woman and a minor

"x sexually harasses people" x is a nb transfem sex worker but like you were very nice so i believe you i wont even check their account ill just block them thank you so much!!

"x has a detrans rape kink" x is a transmasc sex worker whos private account and dialogue with a transfem client were leaked but like youre so fuckin g right ill block them right now

like are you serious??? these are actual posts i have seen. transphobes have literally admitted to sending asks like this to divide the trans community. all this talk about how separating a trans person from their community can kill them and yall still fall for obvious bullshit. it is NOT that hard to do your own research. go to the mentioned blog. hit the fucking search icon. and type in words. look up their name, are there any reciepts for this or simply alot of *anonymous* asks proclaiming the evil nature of this trans person. and even if there are "receipts" look at them. can you find the post in question? look at the account posting it, are they trans? how old is their account? what kind of discussions do they engage in, might they have a bias against this person? it is incredibly easy to not only doctor screenshots, but to crop them in order to erase nuance or even present something they were using as an example (as i did above) as evidence of this persons "beliefs"

tldr if you believe anonymous messages please dm me your bank account information i promise im just gonna send you money ❤️

#transphobia #i have literally seen people who dont even engage in discussions about i/p called zionists i was like. what #i saw a fucking post saying “x is a transmisogynist” and the op literally said “i couldnt find any proof of this but i blocked them thanks!” #HUH? WHAT?? #i checked the mentioned account and they literally had transfem positivity posts it was absolutely insane #yall are so fucking gullible just give me your credit card info already

Bro no joke, forgetting that not everyone hates capitalism and then having to try have a reasonable conversation with someone about buying things... *eye twitch*

#to explain we will have person A - person B and then me #so person B is asking me if its ok to buy stuff from ebay - because i am a person that tries to avoid buying from amazon etc #and im like yeah should be because its independent sellers mostly - to be fair though yall. i barely buy anything online because i hate #online shopping. i try to buy things in person instead #anyways insert person A whos like 👁👄👁 oH aRe YoU oNe Of ThOse PeOpLE ThAt DoESNt pUrCHasE frOm AmAzON #yall im sighing just thinking about this conversation omfg its so stupid #anyways queue me explaining that yeah. i try to avoid it if i can because i dont like my money going to some motherfucker who doesnt need #the money (person B pipes in that jeff bezos is on the way to becoming a trillionaire which is Not Good 🙃 . thank you B now i will go on) #A then goes on to explain all the benefits to amazon “what if you want something the next day” i ask if theres really anything you truly #need right away like that. we used to live in times where you would have to wait or find it in a shop.
