Happy Holidays!

The idea came to me after seeing the Snowman edition of Boba Fett Pop! figure (x). Hope you like it c:

Cal's having some fun in the snow, as he waits for his boyfriend to come back from a job, while wearing Boba's cape like a scarf - Boba himself wrapped it around Cal's head to make sure he won't freeze.

Guykyle is so good because you cannot make them ooc boyfriends that will go to bat for each other in unrealistic ways. They already do that. Canon already writes them like woobified fanfiction boyfriends. You cannot make them more annoying than canon.

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol

Geralt with a tramp stamp for a friend. They said tramp stamp and I could not stop thinking about a Leshy because in german we say Arschgeweih (ass antlers, literal translation) and I think that is beautiful.

My mid year preorders are open!!!

You can now get these moon babies as keychains. All preorders will come with their companion sticker! And if you get the full set i will give you a laminated print 🥰

I am expecting them to arrive mid October, so the October physical patreons can chose 1 keychain (mazapan) or 2 (red velvet) + 2 stickers and the monthly postcard 🥰

⚠️ I will be closing preorders on September 17th to have time to get them here as i will be closing shop for the week of October 13th. After September 17th quantities can sell out even before stock. Regular stock will be opened till all preorders and patreon choices have been made 🙂 do you like them??

If you are getting ready to post a work to AO3, but you haven't finished writing it yet, do not post a placeholder saying something like, "I'm going to write a fic about..."

AO3 is an Archive. It is meant to be a safe location for creators to house their fanworks, long-term. A title and tags alone aren't a fanwork, and posting a note about what you plan to post is against the Terms of Service and could end up getting you a warning on your account if you're reported.

Not to mention, when you edit a work that doesn't change the date on it. So if you post a placeholder today and then edit it next week to put the story in it, it won't go to the top of the tag. You'll annoy readers now without getting readers later.

Instead, I recommend either creating your work in another location (such as google docs or scrivener or other software of your choosing) and then moving it over into AO3 when you've finished your chapter/fic.

If you're like me and you prefer drafting in the AO3 window, then you can save your work as a draft. This allows you to create the placeholder without actually posting it for everyone else to see.

To save a draft, hit the Preview button at the bottom of the work posting form. Then, scroll down the preview to the bottom of the page and hit Save Draft. Drafts are saved for up to 30 days before automatic deletion. You can access your drafts from your Dashboard, under the link Drafts.

For readers, please do not go out of your way to search out these works and report them. That will bury the Policy & Abuse team in reports. However, if you see these while normally scrolling through the Archive, you can report the works by clicking on the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports link at the bottom of every page of AO3. If a work has already been reported, there is no need for you to report it again.

And if you're participating in a ship war, know that these works will not actually stay on the Archive. They will be removed for breaking TOS. The number of works that a particular ship or character or fandom has on the Archive is not a system you should try to game. Instead, enjoy the content you prefer and let others do the same.

Reblog this post to make your followers watch Stargirl (TV 2020)

(Although seriously it's so much fun if you haven't watched it yet you should absolutely try it. It's totally different from other DCTV shows, and it has the funniest villains. Please please please watch it it deserves way more love than it's getting and CW isn't even bothering to promote Season 3 even though it comes out in 17 days)

is anyone else just like, having A Time of it lately

Reminder that the OTW election is coming up and if you are eligible to vote you should vote.

I am voting because there is a person running who in the chat transcripts really concerns me because it is anti language and I do not fucking want that anywhere near the board.

i think the existence of those amazon binders specifically for cosplayers & butches is Bad, actually. they're usually unsafe and low-quality, from literally everything i've heard. if you're a cis woman & a cosplayer and/or butch and you want a binder, just buy from like underworks or spectrum or whatever. it's fine

you're not "taking resources", you're funding and therefore increasing demand for safely-made chest binders + also making it more normal and therefore easier for closeted transmascs to get them. just don't enter those free giveaway things specifically for trans ppl, and it's all good. there's no downsides

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

[sunmoonandarrows]

my biggest issue with tiktok is like…yes as a 25 year old i am going to find teenagers inherently annoying so whatever. but that doesn’t mean teenagers shouldn’t have the opportunity to connect with each other and share content and explore media etc etc. HOWEVER i think tiktok sets an insane and dangerous precedent of having your Actual Face And Voice in these posts that are ultimately pretty publicly accessible to anyone. like, teenagers deserve to have spaces in which they can be cringey and embarrassing and weird and nerdy but for everyone’s sakes it should be fairly anonymous…i shudder to think of the world in which every unhinged thing i ever posted about glee or sherlock or hp or whatever had my dumb little 14 year old face attached to it for anyone to see over a decade later.

What is or isn’t a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.

“Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma” doesn’t contain a slur, but “What are you, some kind of fag?” does.

“Queer studies”, “the queer community” and “I’m queer”? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a “dirty queer”? Slur.

“Be gay, do crimes” and “He’s gay” ≠ slur, but “Ew, that’s so gay” = slur.

In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking “q slur” bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren’t using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.

I'm rewatching Green Lantern First Flight, and dude Hal had a literal Sailor Moon transformation when he got his ring lol!

yeah

[sunmoonandarrows]

louder, wajjs.

the "every bat has a super/lantern/flash/wonder/etc" trope idea is so... wrong. and shows how little care & respect there is for other characters & their own legacies. they are only worth any amount of attention if (ONLY IF) they are a prop to the bats.

like....... you shouldn't need to use other characters to make yours seem "better" or "cooler"

‘Let’s stigmatise male SA victims even more by making sure *no one* ever talks about when it happens to prevalent fictional characters!’ Said all the nightwing fandom
