Gen obsessed with how.. *dead* your Jason's color pallete is. Like, that's corpse pale right there. Not a spec of blood left flowing in there (also father Todd's skin being full of color in comparison is a nice touch)

THANK YOU I love making him look a bit ghoulish. Guy who's not supposed to be alive but yes he is. no he isn't <3

What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

i'm not brave enough to ask this off anon but i want to know do you feel uncomfy by posting/reblogging harry potter content? you can ignore my message but i promise it's not an accusation, i just want to hear your opinion, especially because you seem such a kind and thoughtful person, who won't backlash against me for asking

Hey! Don’t you worry about asking me. We should respect and encourage freedom of speech, man.

I may not be as kind and thoughtful as you think though… but I will endeavour to meet your high expectations :)

Now returning to the issue of Hogwarts guilt: I do not feel uncomfortable with posting/reblogging HP stuff. My blog is my home, my home is my rules, you know? You are free to disagree with me, to "carry your sword as long as you can" but aren’t we all here free to post, blacklist, follow and unfollow, answer and reply, block and ignore for a reason? (To stay sane) To do whatever we want. I am absolutely certain of that. Some people choose to be more vocal about social issues, others prefer to live in a fandom bubble, the third group needs to get in the mood to decide what the hell they even want to keep on their blog. And it’s fine. We’re different, we’re messy, we’re humans.

Of course it’s getting harder for many people to use these types of rhetorics when it comes to mutuals/friends who have very different views on the matter. On the one hand, you don’t always have to agree with each other in order to respect one another, right? But on the other, what’s the point of tip-toeing around the subject just to avoid the possibility of upsetting your audience?? I struggle to stay in my lane with a certain political topic since February 2022 (google it! lol), so I know exactly how hard it is to avoid some kind of posts or at least to not feel targeted by your own dashboard (and you specifically don’t want that because you ARE targeted on your doorstep already. Quite literally 😅) BUT. Everyone should feel unmuzzled to speak their minds freely. And I learn to engage in active listening, ask clarifying questions, and acknowledge the other person's perspective without necessarily agreeing with it. Especially if it’s your beloved mutual. It’s either that or accepting you’ve a very problematic family member and you can’t do anything with it. (While it might be hard to see beyond what you find challenging, take some time to think about what you appreciate about this family member person and let them have their own wrongs)

Same with HP, I guess. This book series is a product of the author's creativity, however it does not reflect its author’s personal character or beliefs. More than that. The series does not belong to its writer. Well, legally it does. Intellectual property and all that. But more importantly it belongs to the imagination of the reader. We have some sort of ownership over the books we read and the experiences we have while reading. And in this case (to me) HP is already so much bigger than JKR simply because only readers can influence a book's legacy through discussions, critiques, and adaptations.

(Or do I try to wiggle out of this one because I had a strong personal bond with that particular franchise from the veeeeeery young age, because I am a kid who has found solace, inspiration, a sense of belonging within its pages…? Maybe, baby.)

Talking about a possibility of some unconscious hypocrisy. Let’s see who who had been attacked. People can’t really strike on ~the obvious enemy~, such as JKR herself, Warner Bros, Bloomsbury, HBO… Because a) it’s not legally possible; b) they need to acknowledge the fact that those companies are also behind some content they enjoy. And it’s uneasy to ignore/stand against the whole media conglomerate, when you as a consumer is also benefiting from the resulting material by getting your desired product: a long-awaited book; a new season of your fav show; a movie with beloved actors etc. So there’s only one way to express your outrage: attack the fans. The non-profit community. Fanfic writers, graphic/gif makers, role players, book club members. People who feel a sense of ownership over HP books, as these works have profoundly impacted their lives. And of course you can go with the “you’re a part of the problem because you make certain content more popular!!!!”. BUT. BABE. The HP series is the bestselling book series of all-time. It’s a multi-fucking-billion-dollar franchise. It has been the most popular book series since 1997. Do you really believe that 3k hatefuck angst with feelings sirius x narcissa post hogwarts incest fic posted on AO3 and read in total up to ten people is going to make HP more popular?? MORE than what? More than 600 million copies sold worldwide? Really? I’m not saying that we should keep sponsoring brain damaged billionaires. I honestly think the best thing we could do is try to avoid putting money in the pockets of people who are going to turn around and actively use that money to try to harm others. But some of you’re really barking on the wrong fucking tree here by trying to make ‘Mein Kampf’ out of coming-of-age fantasy novels because you’re rightfully angry with its author.

[cattewife]

truly writing (more specifically posting) fic and i think the surprisingly overall sweet welcome from even vanilla readers has really made me so much less paranoid about getting seen by the irls..... fighting for my life sometimes against the impulse to just be like "what if i just made my fetish my personality"

[summergoodwife]

Gonna say it again, "Just stop consuming the genre" is THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSE to someone complaining about the lack of representation in their preferred genre!! And "Consume other stuff too" is not much better!!! I don't care how much you think varying media consumption is a Good and Holy lifestyle, not everyone wants to do that! There is no obligation to do that and there should not be! Because it's fucking entertainment. It's not a college major.

And! And and and. I would be remiss to not point out that when you tell someone, "If you want well written (minority) just get out of (genre fandom)" you are, regardless of your motivations, rhetorically aligning yourself with the exact same bigots who just want the pro-representation crowd to shut up and go away.

[icewindandboringhorror]

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

[mellosdrawings]

Which numbers have you done for the fandom/fic ask? If you haven't done 24 can you?

Thank you for asking o/ So far I've answered to 3, 5, 6, 14, 21 and 22.

24. Funniest fandom related story

Ok, dunno if it's that funny but storytime, guys.

When I was a young teen, I had a Skyblog (the frenchies should know what I'm talking about). That was my very first social media, I used to post One Piece fanarts and fanfics, I would read a whole lot of fanfics and original fictions, I got three or four online friends I would talk with (one of them turned out to genuinely despise me and wouldn't say it to my face but that's another story). Long story short, I was kind of a popular blog? Like, it worked well.

So anyway, I ended up closing it coz I grew up and got in highschool and didn't have as much time and just generally didn't care all that much anymore (plus Skyrock ended up dying so no blogs anymore).

In highschool, my class and a few others went to Paris to visit museums and all, and we went there by train. I got bored so I started drawing, and the girl next to me started watching. And watching. And watching.

And suddenly she says "Wait, you're [old handle]?"

The cold dread and cringe I felt. Someone I now knew was familiar with all the shitpost I made when I was 12.

Those ridiculous feelings aside, we had a fun time in that train. We talked about One Piece and I told her what the end of the fanfic I wrote and discontinued was and she was genuinely the sweetest girl ever. I ended up giving her the drawing I was making.

We never really talked after that, but that's definitely the day I realized all those numbers on my screen were actual, real people. That was a shock for my 16 years old self.

The other fun fandom story I have is the one time I've spammed comments so much on all the Twst related fanfic of one author, and did like two fanarts for them, that I ended up making a friend.

Basically I became friends with someone because I was unhinged about their work lol. Tested and approved method 👌

I need help with this project! I'm not looking for specific skills but for people who can help me refine the concept

More details under the cut

Provisory concept details:

Plateform: Web

Style: Isometric pixel art

Type: Multiplayer, virtual world

Game engine: Godot

I made the images from this post with 32x32px tiles but I think the game might be better in 64x64px

This is just the beginning of the project, all of these might change when we refine the concept

I'll create a discord for the project if I can find some people interested enough to help me with the concept. If I do I'll post about it on this account but if you want me to send you the link directly send me a message!

[moonilocket]

You know what would be great. If people gave me asks on things I have lore about. My toys. My dragons. My OCs and drawings. If I have any AUs or whatever.

Or just asks in general. I need to interact with the people who could get me or care about my stuff. And that is more likely on here than irl

My sincerest apologies to Akane Tsunemori, who is the latest victim of my "Every Character I Like Has OCD, Actually" crusade.

[mellosdrawings]

Sorry to ask this here (and anon) but I have anxiety and this is a lot less scary for me.

So I was looking into your commissions and saw that you charge per the hour. I was just wondering how this worked in like actuality. Like, do you give a rough estimate of how many hours it would take, and give us that for a base and add extra if needed, or is it just you work at your normal speed and however long it takes is how much we’re charged.

'Sup o/

Basically the commissioner tells me their idea, I tell them approximately how much time it'd take me to do what they ask, and then we tweak the details until it fits the commissioner's budget.

Also at every step I send the commissioner the timestamp I'm currently on so they can decide whether to cut short at the lineart if they're worried adding hatching and effects might take too long and thus be too expensive, or if they're fine going all the way to the end.

It's a communication game all along. I expect commissioners to tell me when it's starting to be too much, and I'm being as transparent about the time I spend on a project as possible.

I hope that's clear enough :3
