when the body trots on

passed a memorial on my morning trot today. buckaroo about my age, lots of flowers. went to his instagram to learn his way and it was just packed full of photos with buds and good times. you strip away the body and all thats left is love. sad but also very beautiful and important

[ID: A digital drawing made to look like a selfie of Ed and Stede at pride. Stede’s smiling in a smoldery way, wearing rainbow aviator sunglasses and an unbuttoned teal shirt with rainbow stripes. Ed is smiling widely, eyes crinkled, wearing a purple tshirt and a trans flag tied around his shoulders like a cape. Ed has on rainbow eyeliner, small pink, blue, and purple heart stickers on his right cheek, and a trans flag in facepaint on his left cheek. Stede has a matching trans flag on his right cheek. Behind them is a blurred background of buildings, blue sky, and various rainbow flag decorations. There’s an overlay on the image to give it a rainbow light leak effect at the left and right edges.]

I feel extremely privileged whenever someone makes another transformative work based on or inspired by something I did. A dear fandom friend is making a sweater for themselves inspired by Wanna Fly Away, and I just think that's neat! We only have one life; let's have fun with it (best we can anyway).

I (finally) got myself to scan some drawings I did in the past few months! I'm still very much into the gay pirate show 🏴‍☠️

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts.  A lot.  From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies.  Features and pilots.  Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff.  It’s more inspired.  It’s more compelling.  It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt.  It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful.  It’s smart and thoughtful and good.  It’s novel-quality.  Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job.  This is what they do on the side.  In their spare time.  For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good.  You’re good writers and great storytellers.  I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do.  And  because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies.  You’re better than that.  So be better than that.  If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it.   You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.
