#I deserve a safe space

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 167

Honestly, Danny is having such a good time right now. He gets to travel with Ellie, explore space, just have fun. Plus his secondary protector-instincts are having soothed despite him not technically doing any hero-ing anymore. Really his sister had the right idea when she decided she wanted to become a doctor, this is honestly a blast.

And if someone does end up passing away, well, Ellie is always happy to help soothe their spirit and guide them to the Realms where they can reach their respective afterlife. Or become a ghost. 

They are completely oblivious to the fact that there are now legends and entire temples dedicated to them now. Apparently accidental ascension is in fact a thing, as Dan later laughs at them about.

i’m about to start gatekeeping interacting with fic authors from a lot of y’all. u need to learn how to behave

“i need more” “pls continue this” “when are you posting the next bit” why don’t you try showing some proper appreciation for what’s already written before you go demanding more!!!

​a lot of time and energy goes into each piece of writing and it is incredibly disappointing for the primary feedback to be “give me more!” if you’re trying to motivate authors to continue, this kind of response has the opposite effect.

you know what is motivating? specific praise.

let me break it down for you.

How To Leave A Comment Without (Unintentionally) Sounding Like A Pri- [GUNSHOT]

point out a few specific things you liked about the fic and why. how it made you feel.

highlight a line or two or three that stuck out to you.

if it’s an incomplete work, express excitement at seeing where they’re going — without a demand for more.

it’s quite simple, and it doesn’t even have to be a long thing. this can be done in a hundred words or less.

and yeah, it takes effort. takes a bit of time. but fandom is about mutual support. it’s about community.

fic authors are not celebrities who don’t even see your attempts to get their attention. there is a real person on the other side of that screen living a real life, and if you want to encourage them in their craft and properly motivate them to write, try treating them like a fucking human being.

authors put in hours to create content (that only ends up not being truly appreciated). i think you can spare a few minutes to leave a detailed, thoughtful comment in turn.

idk just a semi-friendly reminder that authors don’t owe you shit actually

approximately 15% of gay marriages end in divorce (source: Pride Legal, 2021)

[ID 1: digital art of linked maze Wild and linked maze Sky leaning into each other and holding a rainbow pride flag above their heads together. they are both blushing and looking at each other. "Happy Pride!" is written above them in black handwriting. the background is a collage of faded rainbow hearts. end ID.]

[ID 2: same art as above except "Happy Pride!" is recoloured. "Happy" has been recoloured to use the Questioning pride flag colours (orange, yellow, green, blue and white). this flag represents Wild's sexuality. "Pride!" has been recoloured to the Bisexual pride flag colours (pink, purple and blue). this is to represent Sky's sexuality. end ID.]

[ID 3: same art as image one except faded into the background. bright red text is written over it to say, "Can't have LGBT rights without gay divorce." end ID.]

happy pride month, @linked-maze fandom. here’s your treat,,, divorce duo!!!

Being a woman does not make you immune to being misogynistic, nor does it make you any less prone to being misogynistic.

You are not less misogynistic by virtue of being a woman. You are not any less capable of perpetrating it.

To believe that being a woman in and of itself makes you less likely to be misogynistic is just essentialism. It implies that other genders are more misogynistic solely only the basis of their gender, rather than being misogynistic based on the choices they actively make.

To not be misogynistic, you must actively choose to fight against it, everyday. You must actively make choices that challenges systemic and social misogyny. You must question your own biases and how they influence your behavior.

You cannot be passively anti-misogyny. Your gender does not give you a free pass.

And importantly, women can absolutely perpetuate misogyny against other women, AND people who are not women. So you must be checking yourself for misogynistic bias in ALL interactions.

*** Before anyone comes at me, YES this applies to men and all genders as well. No, I'm not blaming women for systemic misogyny. I'm simply pointing out that everyone plays a role in it. Women are capable of perpetuating bigotry, especially if there are other intersections at play. Women are not perfect victims, they are human beings who have autonomy, and that autonomy includes the capability to uphold harmful institutions. ***

*** Also yes, experiencing misogyny on a daily basis will cause you to have a different relationship to it. Some folks respond to that by fighting against misogyny, but others respond to that trauma by continuing the cycle of abuse. This is just a fact. ***

Pokémon is about the journey to become the best version of you that you can be to the extent you want to go, with support from friends you form unbreakable bonds with and give support to in return. Pokémon is about chasing your dreams and never giving up. Pokémon is about love and friendship triumphing over any obstacle, about found family and making memories that come with new friends along the way.

This is why Pokémon means so much to me, as a genderfluid autistic person. I'm always changing and evolving. Sometimes I'm like a Rotom, becoming whatever I need to be for the task at hand. Sometimes I'm like a Castform, a Cherrim, a Deerling or a Sawsbuck, changing with the weather or the seasons. Sometimes I'm like a Deoxys, focusing on whatever strengths I have and need to utilize in order to protect myself and others.

And sometimes, I'm like an Eevee. I feel stuck and indecisive of what path I want to take, what future I want to work towards. There are so many options ahead of me but it feels like once I pick one, I have no way of going back.

But the point is to not be afraid of the change. Welcome it. Embrace it. Because you never know; it could bring good things along with it, things you've been needing.

Don't be a Cyrus and try to reshape the world into something that will hurt others. Be an N; try to understand others no matter how different they may seem and learn and grow from your mistakes. Be a Nurse Joy and provide the safe space people need on their journeys.

Be kind. And good luck out there, Trainers. The world can be a scary and dangerous place even without Pokémon in it. But at the same time, it can be more beautiful than we realize when our vision is narrowed by fear.
