“write whatever you want, unless it’s…”, “draw whatever you want, unless it’s…” no, actually, when I say write/draw whatever you want, I mean write whatever you want, draw whatever you want. no buts. no “unless it’s…” censorship has no place in art.

art can be about taboo subjects. art can deal with something socially unacceptable. art can disturb and disgust. art doesn’t have to be for everybody.

tag your warnings so that people who might be triggered by your art don’t accidentally get exposed to it and you’re all good.

and if people try to shame you for the art you create because it’s “problematic” then you can tell them to fuck off and mind their own business. they read the warnings. they choose to read and engage with your art on their own free will. that’s not your problem.

dark fics and macabre art do not—have never, and never will—reflect artists’ in-real-life moralities.

harassing artists, real people, over fictional things will never make you “morally superior”. it only makes you a bully.

again, censorship has no place in art.

wario and waluigu make perfect sense to me because if I met some guy who was eerily similar to me I think I would for sure appoint myself his dark counterpart

the thing about the panic about kids absorbing harmful ideas from books is that the most harmful ideas are also the ones that are most prevalent in the broader culture. a lot of the adult fantasy i read as a preteen and teenager had really strongly conservative ideas about What Men And Women Are and how they're functionally different species - which is also the premise of thousands of jokes, at least several very popular movies & songs, and just how a lot of people in the world talk. books can embed themselves pretty deeply in your mind, and there's maybe something different about the kind of influence they have because of the individual work of interpretation, but a lot of the things that are "bad lessons for kids" (bad way of talking about books anyway) are larger problems about society.

if you have a popular post on this site inevitably people will tag it with something like “croggles to bringles when they lost the ploogie in ep 10” and it rules. i have no idea what you’re talking about but you’re right this IS so croggles to bringles when they lost the ploogie in episode 10.

Today on “Fic writers will do anything except work on their fics”: I designed and cross stitched an AO3-inspired patch!

Ozzy Osbourne’s death is like the death of a crusty white 3 legged no toothed dog in it’s mid 20s. It’s shocking and heartbreaking, but the shock mostly comes from the fact that it lived so long and through so much bodily strain that you kind of subconsciously assumed it was immortal.

my fav ask ever was this person who was like “i live in the worst city in Ohio” and I was like “ I don’t think Zanesville is actually the worst city in Ohio but I know everyone in Zanesville thinks it is so I’m gonna say Zanesville but also I bet you don’t even live in Zanesville I bet you have a Zanesville zipcode but you live in Adamsville and you went to school in New Concord” and they told me I got every single detail right and that I scared them so bad they had to block me

If the creator or something explicitly states they don’t want two characters shipped will you respect it?
