The house will survive because of having its heart cut out. Its legend will drift like a miasma. And its history will contaminate the memory of all who saw it.

One thing that's vitally important to remember is that feeling ''weirded out'' is not a form of harm. It is a completely normal part of socializing. It is the feeling of encountering something unfamiliar. In order to be a kind person, you must learn to how to distinguish between "harmful" and "weird." And then you must accept the weird.

Years later, in a rainstorm, the girl will be seized with baseless terror for the new owner, who was her false friend.

I had another thought:

I think part of the beauty of a thing is the when and how it dies; especially when it comes to a creative work. The ending is one of the most important parts, but even that is completely overshadowed and triumphed by what comes after: the fan response. I feel like many creative works deserve more than the applause, they deserve to be spoken of and loved even after they are "gone."

There's a palpable feeling in the After when the work belongs to us and our memory of it, when the work becomes its legacy.

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.

We ride soon, comrade. Join us.

I know it’s good to exist in peacetime, but I truly have to say. I miss the skeleton war.

Nyx's blessed black & glistening tiddies. What a time to be alive.

Someone has been arguing back and forth in the comment section of one of my BNHA fics for almost a year now. The world is full of people.

Too fucking real, I'm so glad other people are talking about this as well! Whew. It's isolating as fuck out here.

Part of why I made this blog is a sort of passive resistance: Multi-fandom. Creator-focused. Lots of warm ups and WIPs and doodles that feel like everything in it was made by a real person, or at least, a surreal element of themselves. (For example, I really like girlfleeshouse.)

It's MY blog.

Very Web 1.0 and Neocities energy.

I guess it could be said that it's important to me that the Internet remains Human. That, to me, includes not """""throwing-away"""""" what you care about or the people around you + artists whom made what you love(d), to chase an ephemeral high that's always shifting, always changing, the goalpost always moving. There's something in that process that feels deceptively hollowing.
