hello i had an idea once. Here is ur explanation for it

Ok goodbye

[chocobje]

So you said, Rodger saw how Glisten did ... this to Finn? And also Rodger ALREADY hurt Toodles? What?

Also I wanted to say that your art is very beautiful and I just love your AU:) Also I like your "doodles" style, it keeps the art simple and the background doesn't distract from the characters! Keep on working, you're doing great! are there too many questions? that's also a question...

Rodger technically did not see it happen, he got that information from Goob (Before accidentally murdering him)

And yeah, Toodles has been hurt before, Rodger just wanted to see her again but that only resulted in her getting hurt.

Also tysm I'm happy ya'll like the doodle-y approach I'm going for 😭, It makes it easier to make posts especially since I'm busy at school.

Dw, you're not asking too many questions! :)

Worry not for the Nameless Red Disciple, they just went down to the river to chill with the river turtles!

[humbuns]

Its weird.... I've been following you for a LONG while now... Yet I get literal zero of your gaza reblogs and post?... I thought you stopped being active since you just disappeared from my dashboard

god this is what i was fearing because i heard blogs were getting shadowban because of this which is why i was trying to periodically post them to prevent this but it seems it did not work! which sucks!!

[campbyler]

okay, so, i will admit that even though i keep seeing your fic EVERYWHERE, i avoided it despite being a byler, for the sole reason that it's so popular. idk why but when i tried reading it before, i barely got past the first paragraph before going nope, nope, NOPE.

but now i'm reading it again and I AM OBSESSED. what the hell did you all put in this fic?! i literally missed my train AND bus stop on the way home because i got too hooked reading the fic SIJXNDKSKSK

anyways, you guys are such amazing writers and this fic of yours is going to live in my soul rent free for a LONG TIME.

hello! warning for a long post incoming, but like 90% of this is just some thoughts i have on the matter, not directed at your specific ask anon. so glad you ended up liking it though!! i can deeply sympathize with the public transit horrors though omg a couple weeks ago i accidentally rode my first bus almost to the end of its line when i should’ve gotten off about eight stops earlier. genuinely don’t know what i was doing to not notice for that long lol. i also am not putting this under a read more because mobile decided it hates me so i am so sorry if it doesn’t automatically add one 😭

neither of us are believers in having to like things solely on the basis of them being big — there are plenty of popular things in fandom and outside of it that we don’t personally care for — and while we are so so grateful for all the support and interaction and appreciation we’ve gotten, i feel like this is also part of the inevitable consequences of a fandom piece breaching containment? our fic isn’t going to be for everyone, and there will always be people who dislike it but that’s ok! it’s a niche au with a Lot of lore and longgggg chapters in a fandom with a seemingly significant preference towards in-universe best friends to lovers fics, usually some form of canon divergence or compliance. we have said this so many times before but we literally expected our first chapter to get a FRACTION of the interaction it did, because a lot of people also don’t love to read long incomplete chaptered fics while they’re still updating. if we were writing a fic hoping it would get popular, we would have chosen literally any other premise, and so i would like to make this one thing clear: whether someone doesn’t like the fic itself or doesn’t care enough for the premise to try, it’s okay! it happens and it happens often and we literally do not care.

with that being said, the thing that does get a little 🤨 — both as authors of a larger fic and also just seeing it happen for other Popular Things — is this weird like. groupthink mentality that often seems to come with the Popular Thing in question? while we do actually get this sentiment directed at us pretty often, people usually aren’t saying it To Our Faces — it’s more often posts under the tag or mentions or whatever being like “everyone’s read acswy but me, should i read it?” or “am i the only one here who isn’t obsessed with acswy” or “why is it so popular what’s the hype” etc. and while, like i said, we don’t care if someone likes or doesn’t like our fic, what does annoy us a bit is when people seemingly have to like. conduct a survey or something just to see if they should even TRY reading a fic. like, you have ao3 access, you know the title of the fic and the fandom and probably even have a link — literally just open it up and read a little bit! why are you waiting for 20 replies to your post to hype you up to try something that will have absolutely zero consequences if you end up disliking it!! it just honestly feels like people are trying to gauge whether their investment of time will be worth it and i get it to an extent — fics are long (guilty), they take time to read, sometimes the plot takes a bit to pick up if there’s a lot of exposition and it’s hard to get past that hurdle, and we are all busy people — but to a farther extent it does make it feel like fanworks turn into a product to consume after they reach a certain level of popularity, and “is [insert fic] good, should i start it even if it’s long?” starts sounding an awful lot like asking if something is worth your money to buy. i just can’t wrap my head around why something as innocuous as a fanfiction, created by other fans for you to read for freeeeeeee, would require so much deliberation and crowdsourced input to even just be checked out. and i cannot stress enough that there is no consequence to disliking this fic or any fic, popular or not. like, the worst thing that can happen is you lose 20 minutes of your life, but tbh people who hit post on this stuff at 2am don’t strike me as particularly concerned about this lol

anyways, genuinely all we ask is that our readers give acswy a good faith effort because they actually want to, not because they feel like they have to or are trying to slog through it just to feel included or whatever. even from the interaction we actually get via asks, comments, etc (not even counting stuff like twt mentions or the general tag) it immediately becomes sooo apparent who’s reading our fic because they like it and are having fun engaging with it and us as part of a fandom community vs the people that are…. Not doing that lol. and all that to say: thank you for giving us that good faith effort! we get it, we would both be lying if we said that we have never fallen victim to the anti-popularity mindset — that’s not at all what we are implying here. there have been so many times i have not cared for a popular fandom fic and so many other times i’ve loved them. i guess i just wish it was a more common mindset to accept that you won’t necessarily like something if it’s popular, but also that the fact of it being popular doesn’t automatically detract from its quality. the only way you’ll know is to try for yourselffff (maybe without having to conduct that survey first. lol)

[just-another-miserable-prick]

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. This isn't the type of post I would normally make but please bear with me.

TL;DR: If you're thinking about sending me an ask to help get your fundraiser out there, please don't. I literally can not help you, I'm sorry.

The world's kinda really shit right now, I get it. We're all suffering and miserable. But if you're thinking about sending me an ask, asking for financial support, I'd like you to know that I don't have neither the reach nor the funds to help you. I wish I could help, I really do.

This is a small, dumb blog I made on a whim when I was a troubled 16-year-old. I never intended for it to get anywhere or accomplish anything. It's just my silly thoughts and the sillier things I make and do and the occasional Thing that happens to me. My blog is a space for those who want a haven away from the harsh reality of this shitty world we live in. So please, for the love of all the gods out there:

Don't. Send. Me. Your fundraisers in my ask box, submissions or DMs. Please.

I'm keeping them open for now but I will consider closing them if this keeps happening. Sorry for this rather bleak post, I hope you all understand.

Maybe a little commy-comm of my ocs would fix me. Maybe a lil commy. Papa get a little commy-comm? Papa pay wonderful artist draw their blorbo? HMmm

Hello, I just found you (Via your cursed Doc masterpost) and just wanted to say that I think I love you????? Like???? I recently got into the hermitcraft (and mcyt's in gen) scene and I really love your post! Sorry for being so wordy-

Aw, thanks! Sad to say I'm not particularly active here anymore, my interest in MCYT has waned as of late. I'm way more active on @clownowo. because that's where i post about all my other interests. this is my only fandom specific sideblog.

I keep thinking about doing starter calls since Dorian's that I lived up to successfully I believe, but then I feel like I need to live up to some sort of 'time frame' (my mind is an odd place, don't mind it) in terms of delivering said starters, which is what I had with Dorian's.

So instead, I'm considering doing permanent dynamic calls for each muse, would that be more useful/fruitful? And then I'd group them up with links to each in my pinned post (and their respective pages), but also make a separate post in which each one is linked— that I'd reblog every now and again as a reminder. Rational me thinks this could be a good idea.

IM NOT JUDGING YOU ABOUT PREGNANT STONE I WANNA HEAR MORE ABOUT IT

Oh thank God.

I think Pregnant Stone = Soft Stone. He'd be singing softly to his baby bump, constantly caressing the bump. He plays his Bollywood vinyl albums for the baby. He cuts back on the amount of spicy food he eats. He no longer wakes up at four in the morning to start his day, instead he sleeps in later.

He cried happy tears upon seeing the ultrasound at his first appointment, babbling about how he'll love them so much. He buys so many parenting books, intent on not being like his father. While talking to the baby in his womb, he tells them that he'll love them no matter what. No matter what gender they are, no matter how eccentric they'll be.

I've always had a thought about him being able to stitch and knit, because they're important life skills, so he's knitting his own socks and baby blankets for the baby.

He definitely doesn't do much heavy-lifting around the house, since he's in his mid-thirties and that's when pregnancies are in the danger zone. But he's determined to ensure this pregnancy will go smooth and that both him and the baby makes it.

He sees the world in a bright light now, there's finally someone for him to fight for. Someone to fight to come home to. And he'll protect them as much as he can.

Okay with the awful cat poll, OP finally made a better apology but honestly I'm not fully on board with it. She still calls what she's done a "joke" even now which it absolutely isn't one. What she said about Jellie is still undeniably cruel and not even humorous in a dark comedy way. How is calling a dead cat lame and even being angry that the cat dared to die before your poll went up a joke? The only joke I could tell is a joke is her saying "I don't believe in democracy anymore because Nefarious Anglerfish is losing to Jellie" but even then, she didn't had to call Jellie lame and especially she didn't need to complain about how "the stupid cat had to die go and DIE" to make a joke. That was just done to be extra cruel, and again, if that's something that she genuinely finds funny then she really needs to reevaluate her sense of humor.

Besides this, she had chosen not to be specific about the cruel and tasteless "joke" that she has made about Jellie because she doesn't want to hurt more people over it which I'm still a little unconvinced by since I feel like it would be better to be clear about what had happened and apologize for the direct statements instead of just trying to delete and move on but either way it's better than her initial response to the matter. She could still had deleted the post, I just think she needed to be specific in her apology about what had been said.

With that being said, people had been nasty towards OP even sending death threats and harassment and although OP's actions should be criticized, going this far is unacceptable. You're not defending Jellie's honor by sending a random rude stranger hatred and death threats. In fact, it's absolutely vile to do anything like that at all.

Either way, I'll be posting both the original "joke" and her apology screenshots here and let people just come to their own conclusions. Hopefully this thing would just calm down after everything.

Original joke

OP's apology

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, anyone who had sent hate and death threats or is planning to send hate or death threats to OP are horrible people and I do not trust you nor do I think you actually care about Jellie. You're just being a dick and found an excuse to harm an easy target when you finally have a justification. You make me sick.

im sad to be callous but frankly the possibility of scammers profiting off of this pisses me off too much. donate to official orgs soup kitchens pcrf and similar. bc as it is, these are bots. it's technically possible that someone is running a bot farm in these people's steads but let's be honest with ourselves - that isn't what's happening.

the very tagging behavior these bots engage in requires website crawling, and if you look through the notes you'll see default tumblr usernames and usernames with single letter or number variations with identical messages. comments on these posts used to be enabled in the beginning but got disabled the moment whoever is running it realized people started warning about the scam. hell, i even found an "instruction" script that passed through once (ie, explicitly telling the text gen "use these words, make a paragraph" and similar, within a sea of these supposed pleas for help
