My dash is very sad right now and I get it, it feels like the end. But please understand and appreciate that I do not share the sentiments that this is 'it'.

This is allllll too very fishy and weird and the more I think about it, the more i step away from the emotion of it all. The more I'm sticking to my guns that this isn't over.

This is entirely the media's fault.

They kept badgering him while he was mentally and physically exhausted. If he kept hearing it over and over- we can't blame him for starting to believe it.

Anyhoo. I hope he has a lovely break at home, fills his cup and lets his team deal with holding RBR/VCARB responsible for this shit storm. And when he comes to work in COTA I hope he's tanned and happy and doing the most.

I said I'd make a post later aaaand then forgot! Whoops!

But before the clock flips to tomorrow, I wanted to thank you. As y'all know the last calendar year (and then some) has been a huge, huge struggle for me in many ways. I haven't been writing as much, and I feel bad about that all the time.

But having people on here still enthusiastic about what I do and make helps a lot. Yes, I've had some run-ins with less than pleasant people here, but by and large everyone has continued to make my time in the fandom and online very nice <3

So thank you!! Submas still means the whole world to me, even THREE WHOLE YEARS after I discovered them!!! Holy beans!! :D So here's to even more time spent with these boys :)

I'll have fun updates and new stuff to share soon, I promise <3

Here's Gale practice I did yesterday! Challenged myself to capture his likeness with only 4 colours and with as little detail as I could while looking at a reference photo.

The thing is that when it finally clicks for BJ Hunnicutt that there are actually no rules and you can do anything you want, everyone needs to get out of his way for their own safety. He's about to turn into a hurricane. Man who goes on a month-long bender where he ends up in a kinky polyamorous nudist commune smoking weed and milking cows while stoned and painting ceramics and having as much gay sex as possible in countless configurations and doing a lot of "Hey guys, watch this" which all end with him having very interesting scars to tell stories about later. And then one day he is going to wake up a little more sober than usual, think for about three seconds, say "Well, glad I got that out of my system," and then walk to Maine.

I write this post with the caveat that I was into TSP and TSPUD before discovering Cl0ck 0ut and I never joined any servers around it, so the impact to me is extremely minimal compared to many others who were heavily inspired by it. I recognize that while it's sickening to me, it's even harder for the people who joined the TSP fandom because of Cl0ck 0ut.

I'm also extremely on the fringes of the fandom in general, I've never gone out of my way to interact with people who are more well-known for their narrator designs. I don't know that this post is going to reach its intended audience that much.

With all that aside, I really want to tell the people who are extremely hurt and reeling and sick to their stomach something that I think is pretty important:

You may have been introduced to TSP from watching Cl0ck 0ut, and it may have inspired you, but it is not the thing that kept you here interested in the game. You're in this fandom because you found like-minded people, maybe through the animation sure, and continued to make connections beyond that surface-level one.

Look, I've been here before. I'm not old, but I'm in my late twenties now and I've been in fandom circles for nearly 2 decades. There were inevitably times where the fanbase learned bad things about the creator, or a specific "big time" fan whose works they liked. It does suck, it does hurt, you're more than allowed to feel betrayed and sick and stressed.

A lot of what got me through it was having other people to talk to, who understood because they were also going through it. They understood because they were in that same fandom with me, we had met through it. The thing that mattered was that I had friends I had made beyond a superficial initial connection.

You made bonds. You created things (headcanons, art, stories, theories) with other people, and you still enjoyed the initial thing, yeah, but you enjoy it more because of the extra layers of connection that it led you to! But remember, please remember, that while it was a jumping off point, and you might attach a lot of value to it for that, it didn't do the work. You and other people did that. And that's the real valuable thing. That doesn't have to be stained with the bad feelings, I promise. It can and has evolved past the initial connection.

It's gonna sting for a while. That's understandable. If you need to take a break from creating, no one can blame you. But keep your connections with other people. Keep your friends.

(And if you made things that were directly inspired by Cl0ck 0ut designs or initial story, I can understand if you're feeling extremely uncomfortable with making more of it. I have a couple fanfics I was reading that were based off it.

At the end of the day, do what makes you most comfortable, even if that includes putting it down and never picaking it up again; but know that people liked what you were making, again, not because it was Cl0ck 0ut based, but because you were doing interesting and unique things with the premise. That's what fandom does with any media, and the story you were crafting does not, I think, need to be wholly discarded despite its premise having...'issues'.)

*head in hands*

at this point, I'll have to do a full rewrite of Skeptic's routes, even if just in my mind, just so I can keep going with my Post-Canon AUs with some peace of mind. that is NOT my boi, and I refuse to take those as canon

(someone already did one for Den and EotN over on reddit, which I still gotta read, but it's nice to see others agree Skeptic feels mishandled in the update)

Y'all have no idea about the self indulgent fic ideas I've been holding back on. The very shitposty stuff I think about while spinning my blorbos around in my head and smiling to myself. Like this one that I originally thought of for the post canon of my West Side Story/Little Shop of Horrors crossover/Anybodys x Audrey fic (which is a shitposty idea in of itself but like I think they work pretty well together in an opposites attract way and also Audrey deserves better than Seymour) but could also work for the post canon of West Side Story (with my headcanons that Anybodys was living with Tony in canon and then moved in with Ice instead post canon) where he randomly takes in a fully wild fox off the street and in the original context of it being in the post canon of that one fic it would be a metaphor for him being really weird and out of place in suburbia and by extension making him and Audrey the odd couple that get weird glances and hushed whispers from everyone but in the post canon of normal West Side Story it would be more of just a funny ha ha thing.

Or it could also be about his complicated feelings towards Tony after he misgendered him 30 seconds before dying and he hates him now for only pretending to see him as a man for the whole time they were friends and isn't sure if he was lying about seeing him as a friend too but also his feelings of friendship and platonic affection for him are still there and maybe even more intense after he got a brief bit of hope that he would rejoin the gang and then he died. And also because I headcanon that the Jets fell apart from the stress very quickly post canon he's dealing with that, not that he would have wanted to keep being a part of the gang after what they did to Anita anyway (at least, most of him wouldn't want to, there would still be a part of him that's stubbornly hanging onto that goal of being in this gang that clearly isn't going to exist for very much longer), and he's dealing with what they did to Anita and the parallels that has to some of the stuff in his history with them that he's tried to suppress ifkyk.

In my head I have this mental image of him clearly trying to fill the gaping hole left in his life by Tony and the Jets but also trying to play his struggles with all of that off while he jokes to Ice about how the fox's name is Tony because he's stealing his name, he doesn't deserve it, fuck him. The question Ice asked when he walked in through the door of his apartment was something like "What happened to the lamp?" and the answer presents itself while Anybodys is talking in the form of the culprit coming out from under the couch that Anybodys has been crashing on since his previous roommate who he will henceforth refer to as Human Tony (usually with a string of colorful insults afterwards) died a few days ago. Ice isn't getting the deposit on his apartment back. I'm actually tempted to write a oneshot of Anybodys Grabs A Wild Fucking Animal Off The Street In The Wake Of His Best Friend Turned Betrayer's Death but it's just so ridiculous. Then again it's not as ridiculous as some of the shit that happens in the prologue so it's not like I'm jumping any Sharks that haven't already had looney tunes shenanigans done to them by the Jets.
