Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

Hey folks! o/ Here's my Hermitcraft TCG art. I was invited to create the Rare card for Xisuma's alter ego- Evil Xisuma >:]

I feel so lucky that I got to participate in Season 2 of TCG. CREO has been absolutely lovely to work with, and now I feel more excited than ever about the fact that Beef has managed to bring his game to life (in such good hands).

Process images and tag list below the cut:

Sketches and early colors:

(Xisuma liked the top left composition best, so I took that and adapted it.) The bare-bones version:

If you're wondering why the final art is flipped when none of the prior work is, it's because I realized the card type token in the top left and EX's health stat would've covered his horns and the lightning! Decided it was best to ensure we got to see the more visually interesting parts.

A special thank-you goes to @helsex for getting all of the image descriptions written out for me.

Thanks for reading all of this, and I hope you found it interesting. Let me know if you pull my card when everything ships out! 🤍⚡️
