In case anyone needs to hear it, sometimes spellwork looks like this and that's okay.
Like seriously the whole spell I recently did I was sat with Loki, wrapped up in a blankie cocoon, sipping my coffee (which is a glorified caffeinated chocolate milkshake.)
Loki was SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SPELL y'all. Was insistent that I didn't even have to do "part two" bc "part one" was powerful enough. They told me it was a really big spell, and I honestly felt it- this was some intense work.
Part one was typing with intent and channeling Loki's energy into my intent since Loki wanted to be the main energy source. Literally I looked like that^ the whole time. Spellwork can look cozy if you want it too.

YEAH shoutouts to that one anon a billion years ago who killed me like 39487293 times about it. popplio is epic and i will not hear otherwise. here's a li'l sneak peek:

Every time I hear oboe solos on Youtube, I start tearing up and wonder if I can try picking it up again after twelve years.
I know there are technical things like needing to get a new read, checking for tuning since it hasn't been looked at in years, and rebuilding my embasure....but...
I do miss it.

the fact that the Call of Duty developers saw
this
guy
.....and picked him as one of the the main protagonist (Johnny -Soap- McTavish) of their latest sequel of one of the most male dominated gaming serie makes me believe there's some kind of pandering conspiracy behind lmaooo 💀 Sorry but you can't tell me they didn't know what they were doing by systematically choosing ridiculously hot men they knew would drive female (who previously never cared about CoD) crazy about them and become a virality leverage for the game promo 💀
Call of Duty being historically an obvious pro US pro war propaganda cultural asset I suspect they also want this demographic who got a newfound interest into these games to start simping for war as they do for the characters but it's not gonna happen bc we're only here for the hot guys and would never spit on a military if they were on fire lmao
We're simp - not stupid.
Also I am solemnly calling Activision to start developing a Call of Duty: Dating simulation because they would literally line their pocket with gold.
Stop wasting the potential of Team 1-4-1.
Listen to women.

I try to not shame people for the characters they like, I mean, I like Maxson for fucks sake, ive got no room to talk, but i seriously don't get the fascination with Pickman? I've seen a surprising amount of fanart and fic with them. Oc ship stuff. Why? He's a generic "welcome...to my dark mind" joker dude. He's not even a good reference to Lovecraft. Pickman is just some dude who makes abstract art with blood and neon yellow paint. I would disregard him as a simple npc but people like this dude. A lot. Why??? He's a dude in a suit and he kills people? Is that your standard. Is that all it takes for you

hey, so. i was not planning to say anything about this, and i am still a bit wary of like...inserting myself into this conversation in any way beyond the one ask i've already answered. but. i know that some of my posts and words have been tied into the whole no post november thing, and i just...idk. i feel like i want to clarify some things about the intention of my tiktokification essay.
the fundamental basis of what i was trying to critique in that post was interacting with fanfiction through the framework of a consumer economy. that is the core of it. that is what i view as the root issue behind many of the instances of harassment and just all-around shitty behavior that i see in the marauders fandom. my personal stance is that we should be treating fanfiction + ao3 as a source of community outside of any consumer economy, which to me means that
there is no clear boundary between readers and writers. there is no clear delineation between producers and consumers. we are all meant to be in community with each other.
fanfiction should not be subject to the same sort of criticism that you might levy against media produced within a consumer economy. that's what i'm talking about in my tiktokification essay and a few other posts i've made, so i'm not going to go into detail here -- i feel like i've already made where i stand on this clear
there are no celebrities. there are no "big name" content creators. there are no influencers. someone having their work advertised without their knowledge on a different social media platform and suddenly finding themselves with an audience they never asked for does not mean we should suddenly start treating those people as if they are influencers who intentionally sought out "fandom fame." obviously, it's different if someone is advertising their work with an intent to grow some sort of following or audience, but if someone is just writing stories and posting them and hoping to foster some community where they get to talk about characters and stories they enjoy, i don't think it is fair to catapult those people into a limelight they never asked for.
so like. that is my perspective on fanfiction as a community. that is what i mean when i say fanfiction is meant to exist outside a consumer economy. and when i say i am wary of framing a stand against harassment as a strike, it is because striking is inerently tied to the framework of a consumer economy, and i do not think it's possible to undo that framework by working within it. i will reiterate - i think it is great to see writers standing in solidarity with each other. however, if my essay is going to be part of that stand against harassment (which i am okay with! i wrote it because i was unhappy about the harassment i was seeing) then i guess i just...want to make sure that people understand the core of what that essay is critiquing.
i'm going to leave my thoughts there for now. my intention with this post is not to engage in any sort of debate or argument--as i've said many times, the thoughts i post on my blog are nothing more than personal thoughts and opinions; i am not claiming to be any sort of expert, and i am never seeking anything other than conversation. i am happy to discuss my perspective on the frameworks we use to engage with fanfiction, and i know that once i post something on the internet i don't have control over the ways in which my words might be interpreted. but hopefully this helps to clarify the core issue that i was attempting to critique with my tiktokification essay for those who are now coming to my blog to read it amidst everything going on.
