That Penn art is so good! ❤️ It's a great fic, too. @ratcatcher0325 does fantastic character arcs.

So... have you transitioned from 'I just found out what G/t is' to 'Okay, I might have accidentally joined this community.' ?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts because G/t has so many potential settings, concepts and vibes, that I think tons more people could get into the 'fandom' (actually more of a trope).

But one of the major things driving people away is the mixed association with NSFW/kink stuff. Even the most wholesome G/t fluff feels like something weird I have to hide from friends/family. 😞

Feel free not to answer: but what were your initial impressions about the G/t fandom? How did they change as you learned more?

(first of all, this is like a really good ask-- I appreciate your insight on the matter haha ... what with me accidentally creating Wick's End as a G/T comic and coming into all this as an outsider)

Thank you!! It was a nice read; they did a good job writing. Unfortunately for me, I can't just enjoy media without analyzing it. It was interesting to see how another author wrote a story intentionally as G/T - setting up scenarios ;) and indulging in the element of physical contact as a love language.

While I hesitate to claim membership to any fandom as an identity, yes, I would say I am a G/T enjoyer among you. :) I appreciate how flexible it can be used to express themes like emotions, protection, vulnerability, disability, etc.

I'll admit, I was initially cautious because I did suspect it was a kink-oriented. As time went on, I came to see that G/T makes efforts to separate itself from the perverted sect off in another corner. The genuine feelings of earnestness, wholesomeness, and shared sense of vulnerability is what won me over. I love that understanding and taking care of one another is a foundation within the G/T community. Really, I can't think of the last internet community I came across and thought positively of-- if that means anything haha. That doesn't mean it doesn't have total weirdos too lol. I even lurk in the GTCon Discord VC occasionally while I work on Wick's End as a sort of parallel-play motivator >/////<

. . .

The reason I still don't tag Wick's End as G/T is because I don't want people reading this story thinking that was my intention. YES it is G/T, tropes and all, but I did not write it with the intention to indulge in that sort of fantasy. It's meant to be a storytelling aid that illustrates chronic burnout... which otherwise would be an invisible condition. I don't want outsiders to mistake this as written for a kink / community they don't belong to -- and at the same time -- I also don't want G/T community members to misinterpret it as fiction written specifically to entertain the trope.

I hope breaking this up in paragraphs + adding a pic made it less of an eye-sore haha. Thank you for asking such a personalized question!

#ask #mod #G/T #WICK'S END #glendale goodwyn #glen #oc #mlp taught me maybe too much fandom is not a good thing and dont put urself in a box -- otherwise that's all ppl will expect from u haha #like many other artists i had to abandon a previous art handle because all people wanted from me was fanart !! #so that's why no more “fandoms” for me haha -- just interests. i'm much happier drawing what i want and i'm elated u guys enjoy it too! #i know its riskier to follow a general artist that does whatever they want (+ music lol) but i appreciate u sticking along for the ride ^^

i hope all the terfs looking at my blog rn are able to grab me a beer and maybe make me a sandwich perhaps while they’re at it

#im sorry its so hard to not want to be misogynistic to them in a jokey way about it #i mean- if they're gonna keep pretending im a woman i gotta keep reminding them im not /jk #its just that so many of them are white cis women who have no real problems. its hard to not want to remind them that oppressing ppl like #me isnt about to change the fact that plenty of cis men still only see them as objects #like idk bitch maybe if you actually shut up with your transphobia and worked with other oppressed minorities we wouldnt have red pillers #out and about. but naw. your attachment to your womanhood is too important ig. #more important than stopping your actual oppressors. #yall would rather uphold white supremacy than do any meaningful change for women. #otherwise maybe you'd actually listen to us when we talk about shit that effects BOTH os us- trans people and women alike. #its almost like enforcing the binary is entirely counterintuitive to your actual fucking goals of equality #its almost like reinforcing the binary back to cis men and pretending its valuable only reinforces to them their misogyny and idea #that men and women are entirely different species #its almost like your insistence that theres a binary actually doesnt serve you at fucking all and actually only AIDS in your oppression. #whatever happened to 'gender equality'? or is that too trans friendly for you now #ig women cant do everything men can do #imagine calling yourself a feminist and genuinely believing this

Anon Project Round 2

Some of you may remember back in winter 2017-2018, when I did this thing to spread some love through the anon ask option we've got here on tumblr. Well, I did the same thing again, back in winter 2020-2021, though instead of just one month, I did it for two months. From the 1st of December 2020, until the 31st of January 2021.

Every day, I sent the message "Hi. I love you. 🤍" to one blog each day. I wanted them to know they're loved.

Now, I know tumblr sometimes eats asks, so maybe not everyone that I planned to give love to actually got their messages, and this roundup will therefore serve as a reminder to all of you that yes, I do love you. Even now, 2.5 years later.

So, here we go, I love all of you:

Dec 1st @creeeee Dec 2nd @quicksilvermaid Dec 3rd @faevorite-main-blog Dec 4th @legendrarry Dec 5th @fleetofshippyships Dec 6th @candybarrnerd Dec 7th @cibeewastaken Dec 8th @nadiasna7 Dec 9th @cheekytorah Dec 10th @stargazing-enby Dec 11th @keyflight790 Dec 12th @all-drarry-to-me Dec 13th @tackytigerfic Dec 14th @shealwaysreads Dec 15th @ununquadius Dec 16th @mad1492 Dec 17th @gnarf Dec 18th @restlessandordinary Dec 19th @parkkate Dec 20th @l0vegl0wsinthedark Dec 21st @ekayart Dec 22nd @lqtraintracks Dec 23rd @midgart Dec 24th @unicornsandphoenix Dec 25th @phantomrin Dec 26th @gallifrey1sburning Dec 27th @p1013 Dec 28th @scarheaded-ferret Dec 29th @firethesound Dec 30th @wordsphoenix Dec 31st @veelawings

#anon project #spreading love #i love all of you #man it's so nice to go back and read all the replies to the asks #ppl get so happy to hear they're loved and it warms my heart #i hope all of you have a great day #january's peepz will be added in a reblog - too many tags otherwise

bi women can be masculine and prefer topping and still be bi! bi men can be flamboyant and still be bi! sexuality is not entirely dependent on how many gay stereotypes you fit, thought we'd got this sorted in 2010 but what the fuck do i know!

#sorry ive been heated abt this for weeks and now that ive seen other ppl talking abt it my feelings are comin out #its so fucking deranged to decide that the only women who are allowed to be masculine must be lesbians #and the only men allowed to be theatre kids must be gay #when like! if u actually SPOKE TO QUEER PEOPLE OFFLINE there are so many masc bi women out there! #there are so many flamboyant bi guys! #im using bi as an umbrella term because i think i read somewhere that astarion is canonically pan which is sooo sexy of him #but like. it's insane. it's insane to decide that a character who IS EXPLICITLY ATTRACTED TO MULTIPLE GENDERS. is actually gay #and if u say otherwise then ur a big mean violent homophobe #and of course if u did the opposite; took a character who is canonically attracted only to their 'same' gender and called them bi #EVEN AS A JOKE! #you would be murdered on the spot #but of course taking the characters who are canonically attracted to multiple genders and deciding that bi ppl no longer exist #because ah-hum this male character fits too many gay stereotypes! #is supposed to be fine

I've officially blocked so many people on twitter that mikethelink came on my dm to ask me if I have blocked the entire planet

#THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY IT SOUNDS FAKE BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED #BC he'd make tweets crediting me for the arts he commissioned me for #and then he'd get like 50 QRTs of just ppl posting screenshots saying they're blocked by me #so today he came to me to ask if I've blocked literally everybody on earth and I was like uhmmmm about thatttt ....... #he was very chill though and after I explained he agreed with me #saying there's too many annoying ppl in the fandom and that I should really block them #and if mikethelink tazercraft is saying so then who am I to say otherwise #lucasings

Lmao, I just found out that "All Dogs go to Heaven" was harshly criticized for "confusing and disjointed plot".... like how???

A little kid like me could understand what this movie is about and follow the story easily and grown ass adults couldn't????

Like how?!

#ara talks #its wild i feel like ppl critized Don Bluth works bc he quit Disney and made better movies than them #i watches so many of his movies and i loved them all! #and they fact they were dark was a good thing #this and a lot if Ghibli movies and such a huge shame that modern kids dont have anything like this to watch #since all children's media is sanitized and sheltered as fuck #and you see ppl saying ES is too dark for kids lmao #but like cmon dark themes needs to be in kid's fiction otherwise how else they will learn?!

hot take ik y’all are gonna hate me for, but I feel like sometimes many little blogs receive to little attention cuz the big fandom blogs don’t pay them too much attention amd the tag is closed off

#I’m saying this bc i have many moots who have joined fandom tags recently #but find it super difficult to find moots in a tag where either u have over 200 followers or are moots with one of the big byler blogs #Otherwise u are doomed #It’s actually sad bc many big blogs are ran by super sweet ppl and many tiny blogs are ran by super sweet ppl too #el has random thoughts #el has sleep deprivation

Yesterday I watched Cartoon Saloon’s short “Screecher’s Reach”, and thought Daal’s hair was almost exactly like how I envision Mathilde Lachance’s hair, so I decided to try and draw her. Today I stopped cleaning up the sketch after about an hour because I got bored, so it’s going here.

#nevermoor #nevermoor fanart #mathilde lachance #idk if anyone’s ever drawn her before (which makes sense bc no description) but I wanted to give it a shot #I’ve always envisioned her like. goth former art student. just the vibe of a pretentious 20s-30s artist who is also kinda goth. for funsies #when I said this blog is where I ‘dump’ my fanart I am being serious. bc sometimes I just quit part way through. lol. #I always try to be one of those ppl that ‘renders’ just by cleaning up their sketch + flats and then I always get bored and stop doing it #I need to stop avoiding doing lineart bc I actually enjoy doing it. when I do otherwise I just end up w a bunch of half finished stuff loll #anyways. I haven’t drawn in ages bc college sucked all my time and energy. but I just graduated 💪 and I’m excited to get back into things. #especially nevermoor stuff!!! bc I have so many ideas!!!!! #fun fact for if you’ve read this far: I like giving wundersmiths bright golden eye highlights when I draw them. just for fun! #the gold of wunder goes sooo well w the black/purple color scheme of morrigan. genius idea from jess. that’s why I always love drawing mog! #I may never draw stuff but rest assured I’m always thinking abt how I would draw nevermoor ppl/places/things and why #I have so many thoughts and my nevermoor brainrot is also is where my art/animation brain and media adaptation brain get to combine #I am going to be insufferable when (if?) the movie starts being made and I am not even sorry #anyways. enjoy this lq image. bc this is a screenshot and I have a problem with drawing way too small lol. oops.

i wish i could set posts to "mutuals/followers only" for reblogs bc i hate when my posts abt butch/femme stuff get rbed by ppl i dont know cause for me its just an unfriendly reminder of the casual fatphobia w/in the lesbian community

#personal #like the way my posts abt fatness (either made by me or rbed) get like 0 interactions #or like a crumb here or there #but i can just breathe the word butch or femme and it gets 100 notes overnight #im not even a big blog i have like 200 followers ik ppl are likely rbing it from others or have butch/femme as followed terms or whatever #but like. the sheer difference in my notes between these posts is very noticeable not just to me but to my wife too #and its annoying and frustrating bc I could scream for days abt fatphobia #and the only post ive had get bigger is the one where i was talking abt fetishization from ppl who claim to like fat ppl #like no one will touch my posts abt fatphobia otherwise #and ultimately u dont have to care but i see this pattern in my notes and i guarantee its in other fat ppls notes too #i encourage ppl to rb this btw bc im going to literally count the difference in notes from that other post and this one #after overnight that other post got 100 notes #and ik this one wont get that many in the same time frame but i want to keep track so i can tell yall more abt it #since posting (like 10 min ago) the other post got 15 notes and this one got 2.
