Bunch of random John doodles I did during the strike

(Please do not use, trace, or repost my works anywhere without explicit permission from me thanks)

Honestly figuring out how to draw young JD was weirdly difficult i don't know why. Still tryna make it look like him but he has that squishy baby face still, and he's shorter

I still probably won't post much since the strike JUST ended and I'll keep reblogging stuff regardless but you know

being an adult means we can buy or make as much self-indulgent shit (as we can afford) and unironically have trinkets of our fave things cause our teen years was bullied for liking things and hiding/denying we were ever neurodivergent to the point of suicide. sucks for anyone that thinks its weird cringe but I'm going to try and allow myself to love myself in little ways now

#wish i could tell younger me that i wasnt fucked up i was just autistic #even if youre not nd i still think having things you enjoy around you is important especially for your space #so i make a notable effort to get fandom stuff for my younger siblings now #like my lil sister thinks getting demon slayer stuff is cringe cause anime and what not (havent read it sorry) #but her face still lights up when i get her a pin for her #or a blind bag with a character keychain #and very slowly the self hatred and whatever it feels like that youre not allowed to like anything and that anything you like is bad #starts to diminish #my qpp is obsessed with birds and chickens and has so many trinkets around the house for it #or my friend who loves how pretty stained glass looks that his walls are covered in thrifted stain glass pieces #i know an elderly couple who are obsessed with star trek and they have a room in the house purely for shelves stacked with collectables #my friend's dad is so obsessed with spiderman that he has 3 walls full of figurines and posters and collectables that prob amoutn to tons #like i dont get it but i get it #maybe its because im sick rn but im in my head tonight about human loving things and stories and cocepts to the point of comfort #sara shush #ramble

will forever be funny to me that so many hermits start randomly saying “oh snappers”/“oh snap” like its a normal part of their vocabulary as soon as etho is around. he lives in a truman-show-esque world where he thinks “oh snappers” is a normal phrase everyone says but little does he know his friends are actually trying to be funny

#hypno is the most notable example of this for me but i know many others do it #locus fandom time #ethoslab #hermitcraft #mcyt #hermitblr

This is coming up with Orym, and it came up with Yasha and to an extent Keyleth too (as well as many other characters; see tags). Anyway: there is never going to be a moment when those characters are not grieving. If you wait for them to stop grieving, you will wait until they themselves die - and to be clear I do not mean this in the sense of “the grieving spouse clearly seeks death so that they may be reunited”; I mean “that loss will always exist in their lives, and they will grow around it and find other joy and love, but there is no moment when the hole that person left closes and is gone.” You can interpret where those characters are in their grieving process, which is a complex and nonlinear one, and you may perhaps feel they’re not ready, but if you do, it’s worth asking yourself what “ready” would look like because it will not look like an absence of grief. More specifically to Orym, if you are rethinking this because there was a scene at Will’s grave, that’s a big part of the nonlinear aspect - how someone will speak about the death graveside, or how they may speak about it in specific places, or on anniversaries, is very different to their day-to-day experience with grief.

Which isn’t to say you can’t interpret Orym as still in, for lack of a better term, the full mourning period; I’m noting it both because it is a pattern in the fandom for characters who have lost spouses, and because within that pattern, the discussion seems to treat life after the death of a partner as a dichotomy of “grieving” and “not grieving”, in which romantic love is only possible when one is in the "not grieving" state, which is fundamentally untrue to life.

#orym #critical role #orym of the air ashari #other similar non-romantic instances include: a LOT of post-canon Vex fanon (especially pre-Search for Grog but still an issue) #to an extent some of the discussion surrounding Caleb especially the choices he made in his ending though that's complicated #and more generally the way the fandom handles main character deaths (notably Molly)

people who act like “woobifying” a character is some unforgivable sin are sooo boring and judgy. like what if i do sympathize with a fictional anime boy and portray him as a little misunderstood emo boy and headcanon him as having my same mental illnesses and having done nothing wrong that can’t be forgiven. who is that hurting??

you either die having created a well-written and fun indie RPG (e.g. Toby Fox) or live long enough for your page to get deleted from the wiki of the game you were the lead developer of

So we don't know really when Clarisse got that spear so I kind of like the headcanon that she got it when she first got to the camp. Like 7 year old Clarisse having nothing from anywhere or anyone, no family at all and then there's Ares who claimed her and immediately armed her. Measuring her height against the spear she can barely hold at first.

This is a super adorable headcanon, and I love it so much omg. Just picturing a tiny Clarisse getting claimed and trying to hold a too big spear is so sweet.

I never really considered Ares giving it to her when she got claimed tbh. For some reason I always thought that it was something that was left for her. Like, when Ares slept with Clarisse’s mom he gave her the spear with instructions to give it to Clarisse when she went to camp. The spear was a sort of reminder of the legacy that she was meant to live up to. A bittersweet promise for more attention if she earned it, I guess?

the bg3 fanbase is funny as fuck in a bad way for primarily shipping gale, who is the most garrulous man you can imagine, with astarion, whom gale goes "uh 😐 not really looking to talk with you man" at when prompted for conversation, and not with wyll, whose party admission gets a "gale approves" and then they proceed to compliment each other 24/7.

#succ speaks #gale also gets approval for demanding more than apologies from astarion when meeting him. and for saying bringing him was a mistake #also disapproval for accepting astarion's apologies. and for saying you trust him. like he HATES this cunt. #whereas wyll just BEING there gets gale a 'hehe <3 yay let's help the tieflings for him' #you also get gale approval for recruiting lae'zel and karlach! literally for just doing that!! astarion is the only one who DOESN'T #the baldur's gate 3 fanbase has such the fandom first-two-whiteboys shipping brain rot spell on them plus an ignore wyll at all costs curse #get well soon like honestly this is so sad and hasn't let up since ea #which is obvious in the way the writers treated astarion with notable favor and ignored will in story development since ea #anyways. gale is super funny about being annoying so i love him for it. he's like me in that way i think. his dumbass resurrection ritual. #idk the way wyll has clear story parallels with EVERY origin character (+ halsin!) and isn't even on the ship podium is a bit hashtag irkin #i've gone into depth about that with some real life besties but that'd be like. another post or a long addition to this one. #ugh. #balding gay tree

ok now i can say can we be fucking greatful we're getting a warrior cat novel with a touched up versiom by illustrators that seem to be lgbt and apart of the fandom like its a fucking blessing theyre thinking about retouching the first series anyways 😭

#'why is the only notable change--' why can you be happy #i just think we should be happy that theres a book coming i think we should wait atleast till it comes out to shit on it like wtf #idk if the writers r lgbt or even apart of the fandom but from their style and more ppl saying so thats where i got that from

Beefleaf isn't canon. Mxtx has said she doesn't like to write another gay ship different from the main (she struggled with svsss)

I have heard about this! The content I saw was just so insistent about Beefleaf that I wondered if maybe I was misremembering and the "no same-gender side couples" thing applied to MDZS only. (I have gotten similar vibes from Moshang and from whatever Yue QIngyuan and Shen Jiu's ship name is, but I've now obtained Vol. 1 of SVSSS and plan to read it, so if those two aren't actually canon, don't tell me! It can be a surprise!)

The "no side couples"--or, in MDZS's case, "no queer characters AT ALL besides the protag, his love interest, and the disgraced goth weirdo who annihilates himself to resurrect the protag"--thing confuses me, because... I guess I don't get the point of it? I totally understand not having the bandwidth to develop more than one couple. The challenge of adequately building up other relationships fully independent of your main couple without detracting from the exploits of your protagonist and his love interest could be daunting, as would expanding the story's focus and juggling multiple equally-prominent lead characters for an effective ensemble piece. But here it seems like people picked up a vibe between the characters from what was already there in the text and then MXTX was like, "oh, no, they're not a couple! there's just the one couple!" and THAT I don't get. If she's disinterested in writing women, but has a cast of attractive men who are all obsessed with each other, why not toss a romance in there between some of the guys? Again, you can keep it entirely as-is and just toss a kiss in there or confirm in interviews that yes, they were in love, and you're so happy readers picked up on that even though you didn't get to tell their full story on the page.

I am extrapolating based on the Xiyao situation specifically, so maybe this doesn't apply to her other works! But it is a choice that confuses me. A couple doesn't have to be that developed; Xuanli certainly aren't, but their existence is a major plot point. I should think that the presence of other m/m couples would bolster the main couple, if anything, because it sets a precedent for them existing in their world. There are situations where adding an expressly romantic element would change something fundamental about the relationship, but there are just as many where the addition of a romantic element changes nothing or makes it make more sense (case in point: Xue Yang's freakout after killing Xiao Xingchen).

Like I said, I get not wanting to devote energy to it, and I also get that sometimes a work or performance is received by the audience in ways the artist didn't intend (this is the Destiel website, after all), but to make it a conscious choice to have One M/M Couple Only? Based on what I currently know, this perplexes me.

#there are plenty of works that have a bajillion guys and only like two women but do NOT intend anything romantic between the guys #but these are things like shounen anime (or fuckin SPN lol) that are written for straight male audiences and don't prioritize romance #whereas these here are epic romances about two gay men written for predominantly female audiences #it's not like your audience is going to be like 'a romance between two DIFFERENT men in my m/m love story? outrage!' right? #anyway the 'nobody likes men except the protags' is so funny in MDZS because of Xuexiao specifically #notable danmei author MXTX I find it very unlikely that the plot you repurposed from an earlier novel project was Just Guys Being Dudes!! #unrebloggable bc this fandom gets WEIRD when ppl say anything that could even be construed as critical of craft

The semester is almost over which means! We're almost back to analyzing the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes canon while looking at Victorian queer culture!! Stay tuned!

P.S. I am such a boomer when is comes to tumblr dot com and since I post other fandoms/interests a lot would being updated for this be easier with a tag to follow? I'll add a poll since my reach is tragically small (I am but a little guy) and who doesn't love a good survey

#I am so so excited about this #john watson #sherlock holmes #acd canon #acd holmes #acd watson #sherlock fandom #I am so serious though I am a detective #an investigator #I'm going to use the cork board in my new apt to map this whole thing out like a madman #I have already made a map of notable queer places in Victorian London and it's my prized possession

I'm not saying that commenting on fics and engaging with writers by screaming at them in excitement is necessary, but back in 2016 I busted out an 80K fic in two weeks and maintained a posting schedule of every other day and I don't think that would have happened if I wasn't averaging like 30 reviews on ff.net per chapter while also getting chatty tags and asks about the fic.

Other people have said this plenty of times, but shockingly when you get excited about something and someone else gets excited too, you're more likely to continue being excited.

#this isn't meant as a brag btw #i was a BNF back in the day for a fandom I'm no longer part of #and i'll likely never achieve that level of notability again #but oh well #alisha babbles

[last-in-line-for-hell]

Sometimes I think about the long term side effects that could have happened to Wei Wuxian after being strangled by Jiang Cheng and my heart aches at how he just laid there and accepted it

#mdzs textpost not art #strangulation mention / #like...memory loss...combativeness... #those are both notable ones #considering how near immediately after he gives up his core and undergoes unimaginable hell in burial mounds..... #yeah honestly can’t blame him for not being himself immediately after escaping #but yeah I feel like that strangulation scene is kinda passed over by everyone #like I agree I feel bad for JC for having lost everything here #but we gotta agree that strangling wwx was uh really not okay at all #the fact wwx just lays there and takes it kills me too #anyway I’m still gone from here this is just another thought that wouldn’t leave my head haha #*puts this thought in the pile of ‘WWX’s traumas that no one takes seriously including himself’ #also to be blunt lotus pier’s takeover was not WWX’s fault and if you think it is I genuinely don’t understand how you came to that #esp bc wwx lost just as much here guys #the day people stop victim blaming wwx in this fandom....

The fact that Shapey, Block, and Bloberta are all in the "loathesome characters wiki" while characters like Clay and Censordoll, who are objectively worse people, aren't in it makes me sad.

#moral orel confessions #moral orel #shapey puppington #block posabule #bloberta puppington #the edit i make for this should make ny feelings about this p clear but I’ll reiterate it #there’s a notable type of person who frequently edits fandom wikis (not all of them i edit them too) that is a manchild loser similar #to what you find on deviantart. like look at the butt ugly BEST x and WORST x templates from da and look at wikis like this one #soooo as infuriating as this shit is I don’t take it that seriously
