Twisted wonderland boys with a darling that doesnt understand romantical cues.

Listen, im a very touchy person and so are my friends, we literally yell out to eachother "I love you" while holding hands because we do, but as friends, and i dont understand why people feel so shy to tell their friends they love them, like wouldnt you want to tell your friends you appreciate them? i hold hands, compliment, share forks/spoons, hug, lay on eachother, and NOONE bats and eye cause thats normal, i think most of gen z is like that, could you imagine twisted boys with a darling that comes from a world where being affectionate is so normal? being open with your love is ok? being able to let your feeling for people platonicly seen as the norm?

i feel like theyd lose it cause when they try to flirt, darling has no idea its romantical and not platonic, imagine darling having to explain the social cues of their world to them💀

Twisted wonderland boy: fym you kiss your friends platonicly?

Darling: kissing is how i show my love :)

Self-indulgent crossover AU nobody asked for be upon ye;

Linked Universe x RainWorld

Yapping & alts under cut

Heyyyyy- sorry bout disappearing for a month, I started drawing these back in April- but turns out full illustrations with backgrounds and multiple characters take awhile to draw, who would’ve guessed 💀

Yeah so this all started after the Watcher dlc dropped and I thought “haha both of my current hyper-fixations have time travel mechanics that’s so funny- what if i combined them.” And I’ve had brain worms ever since.

I doubt many of you actually know what RainWorld is, let alone played it.. But to the maybe 7 people who actually know what the fucking I’m talking about, I love you -and could you imagine the chain’s reaction upon seeing a Miros vulture for the first time? :3c

I have so many thoughts in my brain about this stupid little au and I need to draw them SO BAD but drawing is HARD and takes TIME and I need to EXPLODE

Also I used some photo bashing to make the backgrounds. I really didn’t wanna draw Pebbles’ superstructure by hand, so I just used some of the game’s official art and painted on top. Pretty fun technique, definitely gonna play with it more in the future.

Okay I might have gone a little overboard. This is what hyperfixations do to a man

[ayveeva]

I believe the industry term for this is “autopsy”

What bodies actually need is a much more intuitive UI.

bodies should have crash logs. why the fuck did that just happen.

abby has road rage BAAADDD omfg

she’s yelling, she’s slamming her forehead on the steering wheel, she’s cutting slow drivers off, she’s putting together strings of words you’ve never heard before, and after you get home, she’s still muttering about it

And what makes this scene so gobsmacking to me is that when Sammie opens the door and goes out, the house on the outside is blue and the inside is red. What we see in THIS shot specifically is these colors acting as a stand in for smoke and stack with Sammie being in the middle giving us the message of them being his protectors foreshadowing them playing out their role till the very end in which we see with events later on in the movie! Loads of easter eggs so be it in cinematic shots or dialogue even GRAMMAR !

When Remmick is about to play his eerie song he tells them “I’ll show you.” Not “we.” SINGULAR despite the two people behind him, emphasizing more on the fact that his vampirism is a hive mind and at that very moment he was controlling them. Bert and Joan were no more; that was all Remmick.

To wrap my yap session up I just really wanna mention my favorite scene which is when Annie tells Elijah she doesn’t want all that “Smoke” to get on their child, Elijah finally putting the life Smoke went through behind to move on with his family in the afterlife PEACEFULLY whilst also knowing Sammie’s safe + The baby breaths in Annie’s hair, absolutely devastating yet so beautiful.

watched conclave (2024) and found out that there was the Kneeling scene that they cut out

i would have lost my mind if they had left it, and after that showed us how vincent was WAITING for thomas, refusing to wear pope's clothing, but also the scene when we see thomas smiling for the first time after being constantly at the verge of breaking down, finally at peace, because vincent accepted papacy, is also so so dear to me :')

It is truly crazy to me that you can see the exact moment that Dean’s view of Cas changes in 9x22.

Like imagine you’re Dean. Imagine your best friend has been continuously making questionable (and even bad) decisions and keeping them from you either to “protect” you or to keep from hurting your feelings. Imagine that you’ve begged him not to do this but he feels so genuinely that he’s right and he begs YOU to trust him, only for you to be right like you thought and for the cycle to continue. Imagine caring about him so much that you keep trying and trying to forgive him and put your faith in him, but a lifetime of trauma and disappointment keeps you from fully being able to forget.

Now imagine that guy has gone and done it again. He’s making questionable decisions and he’s not telling you about them but you’ve discovered it, and now he’s forced to explain himself and let you in on it. Imagine thinking huh, this seems too good to be true, idk about this but maybe I can help him, maybe I can be trusted enough to help do this? And then the guy’s new best friend says she doesn’t like you, you can’t be trusted, the only way to save everyone and keep their loyalty is for your guy to kill you.

In your mind you beg him not to, but deep down you know he’s never chosen you, not completely. He’s always chosen family, which you can sort of understand because you’d always put family first too. And the betrayal and hurt is so clear on your face.

But then he doesn’t. He refuses to hurt you, even if everyone is telling him that it’s the only way, even if he’ll lose their trust and support, because he’s already broken his trust with you and it’s not worth doing again. For once he trusts YOU. He chooses you.

He chooses you, and he doesn’t even say that he’s sorry.

I was reading this post over on the Ao3 subreddit this evening and I think it brings up a lot of good points about how fandom, as a community, has been shifting in its treatment towards fanfic writers.

Fanfic is more popular than ever, which means there are more works "competing" for the readers' attention, who take on a passive approach that treats fanworks not as a means to talk to people with similar interests, but as content, as products. [...] Gift cultures thrive not on monetary exchanges, but on the expectation that the gifts freely given will be returned in an unspecified future through emotional and relational means. This used to set fandom apart, but it's slowly being absorbed into the mainstream way capitalism operates. Where does that leave us?

And it's demotivating to see the responses authors get when expressing their grievances with this state of affairs, or how they feel underappreciated. Being called entitled, told to write for themselves, or to promote their work as if writing and posting isn't enough. I write for myself, I post for the community. There are things I want to say about the source material and characters, and I do through storytelling. And I'm grateful about each of the comments I got, no matter how short. It's just that it doesn't feel like there's a community out there when no one talks back. Writers aren't just expected to write, but to do it for the "right reasons", and to also be as pleasant about it as possible, lest they'll be criticized by more people than the amount that's offering them support.

I've seen posts going around on tumblr that have approached this topic as well--that fanworks (particularly fanfic) should be created from the perspective of a perfect vessel that can pour, pour, pour out and never needs to be poured into. You should do it for the "right reasons" and not complain because "no one owes you interaction". But what is fandom if not interaction?

Writing fanfic is one of the most time-consuming labors of love that makes up a fandom. (That's not to say other fanworks aren't labors, time-consuming, or made with love. We're talking about fanfic). Your 300k+ enemies to lovers slowburn porn-with-plot fic that has reshaped the entire way you approach a specific pairing or media has been made with time, effort, for free, with the intention to be shared with you.

And in the state of current fandom, it has been made with the expectation to receive nothing back. Is that fair? Maybe. Silent readers exist and a kudos on Ao3 is at least an acknowledgment that some people read and enjoyed. But does it hurt to leave a comment? Even a heart emoji or an "I loved this, thank you for sharing!" is enough to at least start a dialogue, a conversation, form a connection.

That's not even to mention the isolation of fandom interactions to private Discords; time after time I've heard from fanfic authors who found out that there have been discord servers or twitter groupchats where their fanfic has been discussed, loved, and lauded at length--but never once was the author told this! Ao3 has comments for a reason. Many authors link their tumblr profiles or emails in their bio for people to reach out to them.

It's just a sorry state to see it go.
