i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

Flocking sketches from last week! I just wanted to draw clouds. Gonna do a personal theme next time too, but the theme inself is a secret for now 👀 I worked a little on them after the stream, so some of them are 30min instead of 20. Here are: Zhejiangopterus, Bolg amondol, Diplobune and Iberomesornis. More info in ID as always!

I really like the pride art! I think it is also the first time I have seen Holly smile in your artwork. How often would they smile as they seemed to have a neutral expression, and it is hard for them to laugh or show positive expressions?

Thank you so much!

They can't actually smile as they have no mouth. Their face does give that impression due to the outline of the white part of the head. The mouth itself is not fully developed, so they're incapable of smiling, laughing or any other expression. Their only way of expressing anything is closing their eyes, though I can see how that makes it look as if they're smiling haha. I guess they just have a very friendly looking face. Vyrm's genes, most likely.

No one tells you that one day you will get older and look around and notice that 95% of ppl who own a dog should not own a dog

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

[bluegekk0]

There's always that gross feeling when you find out a person who followed you and you interacted with is a horrible person. Like yeah there's no way I could've known, looking into every follower I reply to would be crazy behavior, but ugh. In retrospect, I wish the time I gave them was spent on something better.

Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.
