my bud and i have been cracking tf up over isekieran as we play arceus together!! thank you for always bringing smiles to our faces, we LOVE sharing your art back and forth ✨

as exchamps shippers and artists, we were curious whether you ever had a mind to draw them 👀🙊

AAAAAAA TY!!!! I'm so glad you like my art!!!!!! Admittedly exchamps isn't one i usually go for romantically myself but I think when they're older and have figured out a bit more about themselves they could make it work

Bbbbut I'm still super hashing out my timeskip drayton design so I just have this rough sketch for now. I hope it suffices!

Btw if you ever need someone to talk about exchamps with 👀👀👀

absolutely, i can ramble about these two dumbasses for DAYS. the only thing holding me back is my crappy art and character limits.

2024 summary time~

[perelka-l]

Hey btw author anon are you alive. Are you okay.

[perelka-l]

sometimes i go so insane over variety of portrayals of drayton's approach towards his family

like, often ppl wonder if him prolonging his stay at BB isn't just his means of keeping away from opelucid, there is question if iris' rise towards becoming a gym leader and later champion impacted drayton's relationship with family or drayton himself (does he hate her? doesn't blame her? adore her like a sister? reject her out of his mind?), question about his own pride in his lineage ('dragon's blood', the way he addresses hassel) there is jsut so many ways one could approach drayton's background and how it influences his behavior it drives me n u t s

[perelka-l]

Hey btw

Guzma/Hau/Gladion.

Opinions?

When I think about it more... There used to be bubbles for various fandoms, of course, of subfandoms. You could glimpse it from afar, you could walk closer and observe or lurk, but it was all contained. A discord now, but with a preview. But when something impacted one of those communities, it stayed here.

Since now fandoms moved to social media and since influx of fanpol, well. You are always one tag search away from encountering all sorts of things about your favourite thing, character, ship - love, hate, enjoyable things or things you never wished to see. Discord seems to be a natural way to create those bubbles again, but at the same time it's much harder to enter, to preview, to open yourself. You can't glance from afar to get a feel, you have to be in from the get go. Plus, it's a chat. Fuck this shit.

Additional subject is that people no longer look away. Because those open spaces on socmed are so varied, it's easy to get angry or irked at things you see. Okay, block, mute, whatever. But there is also a sense of entitlement, of wanting content that has entered fandom spaces. If you don't get what you want, you feel annoyed. That sense of sharing is gone. Lurkers got loud, no longer just watching but demanding. It's an internet-wide thing that I think impacted fandom hard as well, shifting internet from place to find previous things to source of entertainment.

"We want more fancontent" and I feel like I am on the opposite side of a TV screen, and the watcher is annoyed that their cable doesn't have anything interesting, flipping channels boredly. It feels dehumanizing, even.... But that's another subject.

(Maybe.)

I think by fucked up shit people mean stuff like incest and ships with 20 years between them which only speaks how fandom police can get you for stuff that is pretty common. Loved your post btw I think we all should be loving out things loudly and proudly. I feel like fandom defragmentarized into tiny secret circles like discord servers where fucked up shit is normal but where do you find them if nobody posts about them you know?

You are entirely right.

For starters - I fucking hate Discord. I loathe that this is where apparently things are 'happening' these days. If you don't know someone who's already a part of a group, you're frankly fucked and all there is is you and whoever is active on socmed, that might maybe leave a like, or reblog. I don't want to sound bitter, but people these days comment art when it's shared on some Discord server. I hate this. I hate this so much, because you might just simply never see it, and feel alone.

(Fuck numbers game, when you post fic, art, whatever, what one craves is (and I am using this word) community, sense that you are sharing something with others. You might get one reblog and get the most heartfelt enthusiasm that is coming from deep inside someone's heart and it will make you a thousand times more happy than watching the numbers just go up. But now even that is getting difficult. Because fucking Discord. I was tempted so many times to create "servers" for whatever was on my mind but this is why I usually decided against that.)

I feel like one of reasons that happened was fear. With discord, you can screen who will see your shared filth. It's understandable reaction to whatever the fuck is happening in fandom these days, people don't want to be doxxed, exposed, revealed and shamed. It's a natural progression. And I loathe that it came to this as well. Cringe may no longer exist, but shame still does.

And fr, I remember when I was a baby in fandom. Yes, I looked at things I shouldn't have looked at (another thing that these days I feel is warped...) but at worst you just raised an eyebrow when you saw a more desperate anon request scat on kink meme with two characters you'd never consider together (and they could even get it!!!). Now I feel like people are shamed for most 'basic' stuff. What is a little incest, what is a bit of age gap, truly? In comparison to older days, this was just causal stuff - of course, there were people that were uncomfortable with those themes, but it was easy to just politely look away, elsewhere.

Of course I don't wish to glamorize those times - people were ignorant, there were abusers as everywhere else, all human faults that never went anywhere, there were shitstirrers and drama and hate were present. But I feel like those didn't impact and stifle the fandom as terribly as fanpol now.

So I think best we can do is love, loudly and unashamedly. Just be cringe, just let everything you adore spill out of your heart. Be horny, be enamoured, be friendly, try to let those positive feelings possess you. It's fun! And this is why we are here, this is why we are fans, why we create, why there is fandom. What's the point of participating in this if not out of love? What's the point of love if it's hidden and stifled down? I may be waxing poetics now, but it's a philosophy I genuinely believe in.

I even thought about this recently, how I feel like I am not sticking to this as much as I'd like to. I want to love more, I want to be more open about shit I like, I want to be cringy and unashamed even more. So hey, let's go for it together :D
