#i'm a real person i promise

[anonfromtheflight]

I hope that other anon won't make you quit the YR fandom already so here, I'm sending you a hug and thanking you for bringing so much enthusiasm to our beloved space 💜

Awww thank you so much! 💜

But don't worry, I'm a tough cookie! This isn't my first time in tumblr either lol and as @skibasyndrome said perfectly, nobody should have to apologize for showing joy. So I'll keep being my overenthusiastic self!

Plus I put that on my bio since I created this blog on Sunday, how isn't that enough of a warning? lmao

I still have the best opinion of the fandom! 💜

Mine: Refer to me however you want!

Mike: Yeah, for me too. I think I use all pronouns too.

I think on this fine Saturday afternoon it's a good opportunity to take a breather and remember that there are really no ethical paparazzi pictures. Every single one is inherently exploitative.

Just because photos were taken on a movie set, when someone is 'working,' does not make the practice any less invasive and creepy. Imagine just going about your day, doing your job and having some weirdo snapping pictures of you to sell without your consent for others to endlessly repost online.

There are thousands of pictures of your favourite actor online already. Plenty taken with his knowledge and consent. I'd really like to see more of them on my dash, rather than the creeper shots.

And don't get me started how disseminating these pictures directly leads to people going to said sets. What starts off as admiring how good someone looks has real world implications.

No, hanging around a movie set and disrupting people doing their jobs is not harmless fun or a way to show your appreciation.

If you hang around a movie set, you are a stalker.

Don't tell me that it's okay to take your online admiration for someone offline. You may admire him but he does not, and will never, personally know you. He will never be your friend/boyfriend/daddy. He is a stranger.

The only way meeting your favourite actor is going to happen is at a convention or maaaaaybe a movie premiere if you're incredibly fortunate. You know, places they appear specifically to meet fans (or not in the case of premieres, where the purpose is to promote a movie. Which is also completely understandable if actors don't stop. You are not owed an interaction).

Of course, you cannot help it if you randomly run into someone you admire in the wild. Even then, consider that they probably won't be all too thrilled to be approached in public by a complete stranger. It's up to you to gauge the situation, but remember there is a person at the heart of all of this.

Boundaries and respect are a kindness which deserves to be extended to each and every human being regardless of their looks/talent/fame/wealth.

Fandoms blur those lines a little too often for my liking and I think just scrutinising what you're interacting with, or what behaviour you could be possibly falling down that slippery slope towards is nice to do every once in a while.

I mean no malice with this post and it is not directed at anyone in particular. It's something I cannot help but feel strongly about because I've seen this destructive cycle time and again in fandoms over the years. It's not healthy and it makes us all a little bit more disconnected from our humanity for it...

Guys, there's never the right time to say it but what I wanted to say is ..thank you.

To all those who've been following me for some time now, you probably have seen my ventings and you know that my family is abusive, toxic and suffocating.

I'm in a better place now, I'm most likely to stay in Ireland another 2 years and finish BA here before- hopefully moving to the UK- which gives me a space to breathe, far away from my 'parents' who shouldn't be called that in the first place.

But what I wanted to say is massive, huge, enormous THANK YOU- for just being here, replying to my posts, sending messages, lifitng me up, because it's what saved me.

Work's being absolutely ridiculous, so please send me quilt or plushie ideas! Puns and pride flags are bonuses but not required, I'm looking for anything like color combos, patterns, suggestions that are more vibe-based than specific color combo based, anything

It's sorta difficult to figure out what level of detail I have to remove in order to anonymize my job, but basically two of the other people who do my job are out, so I'm helping cover for them, but one of their contractors turned in paperwork showing three different dates for when he did [job that should have only taken one day]. I ended up having to call the customer and ask when our contractor did [job]. Thankfully the customer found it a little funny and was willing to answer, but I hate cold-calling customers to tell them our contractors can't do paperwork correctly and we need their help to fix it

Artists who draw Princess Peach as fat, my beloved

I love when people redesign canonically thin characters as positively fat! And you even draw Mario with a fat body when sadly most artists thinify him. Thank you!

Aaah it's just one of those things I picked up on Tumblr fkjgfjkdg I can't remember who but an artist I followed drew Pudgy Peach and it's just one of those things that really stuck with me. I can't see her any other way now! The Lovely Princess Toadstool <3

Also any artist who draw Mario OR Luigi thin is an instant block those people get no sympathy.

HEARTBREAKING: Person within your oppressed group acts as if they speak for every single other person in the group

[anonfromtheflight]

I'm sorry I thought you were fake, as in someone trolling the confessions blog. I'm glad to see you're real though.

Hahahaha omg you're not the only one! I've spent the last day trying to get tumblr to understand I'm real too lmao

No hard feelings! I promise I'm real and all my excitement was and it's still 100% genuine!!! 💜

[blueberrybanee]

Currently working on a b-day gift for a friend (I know it looks rough from this single pic lol I'm tired and it's not even close to done) and, this goofy Bane shirt I drew. That's it. That's all I'm saying. This isn't even related to the gift, I just put it in there for shits and giggles

[blankerthought]

since i'm already thinking about it and for once, don't plan on writing an essay on it, i'd like to point out to rpf-hating people that ideally, the point of rpf at no moment inlcudes or implies that you want the real life people you're creating this about to see it. it's real person fiction, something created for and by fans to enjoy, and ideally would never reach the people you're basing it on unless they're specifically searching it out.

nowadays, with online celebrites spending so much of their time, well, online, interacting with fans constantly, some nudging against fandom spaces should be expected, but to imply that simply creating fiction is immoral is very much something borne out of purity culture. thought crime isn't real, and most of the time, neither are any of the things we write on paper, asides from maybe the people we're referencing.

the other half of this, the argument that will be brought up over and over, is that of us showing it to them. to that, i say: well, i sure as fuck didn't. most of us writing it didn't. it was those who wanted moral outrage who brought the works written out to spaces where they'd find solidarity in shunning them- and in doing so, most of the time brought them to the attention of the actual people in point.

i cannot speak for those who did write it, did show it, did delight in discomfort. i do not know why they would do that, and i don't plan on arguing on their behalf either.

i also cannot speak for those celebrities who read their fics, liked their art, and for some reason also informed the rest of us fans that they'd done both and were actually delighted at this all. (yes, this is about dream. and also everyone else. what the fuck, gang.)

also, i'd just like to point out that according to my sources (aka: trust me bro) there's three levels to rpf:

Celebrities who nobody wants to see rpf of, much less them

Celebrities who many people want to write rpf of, with them not particularly enthused on the matter

Celebrities who loudly and enthusiastically want rpf written of them, preferably having passionate gay sex with their friends.

which can be caracterized with argentinian ex-president mauricio macri, whose fanfic i had to glance past once or twice and subsequently wished i could scrub my own brain off with sandpaper; markaplier, who Does Not want to see fanfic of himself, and dreamwastaken, who regularly likes pictures of himself and his best friend about to have sex.

so keep this in mind for rpf works, and act accordingly.

I didn't realise who this was until I went to block them, but bogleech found me on DA

Yeah, not shocked in the slightest they don't remember me, that's the privilege these guys have; they get to throw heinous paedophilia accusations at survivors, tell them they deserve to die over fiction and then just move on with their life like nothing happened.

TW: CSA mention, Incest mention

In case you can't tell; with everything else going on my life right now, I have no patience for this left. Don't want a survivor to dump their trauma on you? Don't claim drawings of an imaginary friend are equivalent.

[jasonsthunderthighs]

Every time I come back to your blog, I find out some major tragedy happened to you, babe I'm starting to get really worried

I feel like it'll never get better, my love.

I'm too tired to do this anymore. Nothin good is ever comin my way. I'll never see my twin again. I'll never get this damn property debt bullshit (that's already been paid for and got a letter and receipt for proof) that NOBODY will approve it for me to get a place, cause they want proof the company/business existed, cause it dismantled for whatever reason.

I'm stuck in an expensive place that's bleedin me dry of my money. It's not even worth what the rent is. At all, plus the employees are pullin shady shit over my best friend/neighbour when the county pays for their rent, so basically stealin from the police (long story)

My hours at work are cut, so I'm not makin a lot to even get groceries; starvin myself for days at a time cause of no food in the house.

Every day I think of ways to kill myself. I just want to end it. I'm tired of feelin depressed, starvin myself (on top of havin an ED, so it triggered it), stressin on if I'm goin to get (an) evicted (notice), and so much more.

I just want to take the (20) oxycodone I was given for my pain from gettin ran over almost a year ago (7th of February, I woke up the next day) and just down the pills. I walk the dark streets at night in hopes that someone actually just runs up and shoots me in the head randomly like what you'll see as random ambushes caught on camera.

Most of the stories I've written so far at this point are how I just vaguely get killed or kill myself but shamelessly with either DC characters or my OCs. I don't know. It helps a little. I just never showed it, cause nobody wants to talk bout that. And I've learned to keep that to myself to not hurt others.

I'm sorry for goin on a ramble, my dear Anon. This got a little dark and out of hand for a bit. I'll cut it here.

Thank you for checkin up on me. I'm still here, just.. rottin away. I feel like my body is actively tryin to kill myself the longer this goes on. (With every photo I send to my twin or they see one of me, they tell me I look like absolute shit and worry so much for me. As I do the same for ‘em)

Pen Pals Wanted

My fiancée has been pen pal-ing for years and it sounds really fun. There's just one problem with this...

I'm having *severe* FOMO. I love writing and talking to people. Hearing her talk about her pen pals fills my heart with joy but it also makes me wonder what it would be like to have my own. This is where I ask the Tumblr-verse for some help. I would like to start writing again and what better way than to reach out to the expansiveness of the internet (and this weird and wild world of a website) for a potential friend to write to. Random person reading this: Are you also looking for someone who likes to write poetry and prose and little autobiographies of their day-to-day lives? Do you miss the days of snail mail? Because me, too. If you are feeling up for the task, message me, and you, too, can have a pen pal of your very own (aka, me lol).

[gen-is-gone]

It's happening again. Just as the prophecies foretold but I in my arrogance ignored, as I always do.

I'm rereading Interference and I wanna hit Mad Larry with a chair. :/
