Had a pleasure to participate in my first Big Bang! And of course it had to be blue blur one- Check out @sthbigbang! I got to illustrate for a great fic from @supershadsyy! A real "must check it out" for Adventure (specifically 1st) games fans~ As well, you should check out artworks from other teammates: @calista-222 (X) and @cowboybootss (X)

Bonus version with bit less effects and without text under the cut:

Billy has that teenage cringe. - a teenager

When done right (shown below), it is interesting and entertaining to watch.

Also yelling, "King Steve! King Steve, everyone! 🫱" was so Cringe King of him 😌

I think the Ninjago fandom SERIOUSLY needs to realize that we should not be singing Ninjago, and by extension, Lego's praises every time there's a bit of diversity seen.

Let's not forget, the basis of Ninjago is still completely an Orientalist view of ninjas and a bunch of Asian cultures lazily slapped together.

Let's not forget that every disabled character has been a villain (even if some of them joined the heroes later on that doesn't change much).

Let's not forget one of their disabled villains is literally named fucking Daddy No Legs (I know it's a joke about the daddy long legs spider but it's SO fucked up)...

Let's not forget that the ONLY canonically queer character is ambiguous. We don't know what she identifies with, we just know she's some flavor of queer.

Let's not forget this is the same franchise with the racist caricature that is Chen.

Let's not forget about the "magical islanders who sacrifice someone to their angry god so they don't die".

Sure, there COULD be a chance to finally change and improve but seeing as this show has been going on for 12 years, I highly doubt they're just gonna start doing better rep for anyone possible out of nowhere

"What do you remember of being human, Echo?" The question is out of the blue and unexpected. But Sora offers a patient smile and tilts her head in curiosity, just enough that one of her ears flops over. It's endearing, if anything.

But Echo wishes she hadn't asked.

"Not much. Distinct memories are cloudy." A tired tone says softly, a pained recollection in her eyes and an acrid haze in her soul that endures, endures, and endures, "But I remember the discomfort more than anything. My body always did feel wrong back then. Misshapen. Condensed. Like it was too small for everything buried underneath, and that ache went so deeply some days that it would make my skin crawl. I hated that part the most."

At that, Sora's expression falls. She looks inexplicably sad, as if she'd hoped for a different response, a gentler one despite knowing the harsh truth about the dark future and the struggles Echo must have suffered. "But you had Grovyle, right? I'm sure he took care of you."

"He did, Sora, of course he did." A sigh, a flick of an ear and claws clenched tightly into the churned earth pressed under her paws. "I doubt I deserved his attention, though. I was too busy being angry at the world to give any care back."

In my lore, Echo does not look fully human during their time in the dark future. Since they were Darkrai before becoming human, and as a result of Palkia's reckless shattering of the Dimensional Portal which distorted both time and space, Echo's transformation was broken and accidental. They ended up looking pretty messed up and definitely (not) human. A lot of their characteristics as Darkrai carried over but rather morphed into something else.

And Grovyle, growing up in a world where humans have been extinct for longer than any living pokémon has been alive, has no concept of what a "true" human looks like. The only thing he knows is descriptions of humans from glyphs and texts in old ruins. Thus, he mistakes Echo for an actual human. And Echo, not knowing what a human looks like themselves due to amnesia, accepts this identification with nothing better to use.

the disparity in kudos between a skk fic and a fic for literally any other bsd characters/ship :/

[volvolts]

I can’t believe people sort ao3 by comments/kudos/bookmark/completion/word count I just raw dog it out there and whatever tags and summary gets me gets me

[waitineedaname]

the experience of writing fic for svsss has been absolutely insane so far. I posted a fic less than 24 hours ago and it already has twenty comments. I have been in so many fandoms where you have to BEG to get comments, where you'd be lucky to get more than ten comments and the ratio between hits and kudos/comments/bookmarks was vast, but so far the scum villain fandom has been super responsive! The hits/kudos/comments/bookmarks ratios have been super tight, even on my fics which have all been oneshots under 10k!

And it's not just me! I regularly see fanart for svsss fics, which was a rare sight in a lot of other fandoms I've been in. People reblog minifics that get posts to tumblr and leave tags and replies on them. I've written for a lot of fandoms in my time, and this a shocking amount of fic engagement compared to many other fandoms I've been in!!

I can't help but wonder if it's because of the nature of scum villain itself? Other people have talked about how the story uniquely appeals to writers, and it ultimately is about the relationship between a writer and reader, especially in a fan space. I can't help but wonder if the combination of this being a fandom with a high density of writers and it being a story about engaging with writing encourages a fandom culture that is super engaged with fanfiction!

I got the screenshot right before I went to sleep last night =)

I know this will seem like a lot to some people and very little to some others haha, but! It's silly to compare it to anyone else, since we all write in different fandoms over the years and write different types and lengths and amounts of fics.

So this is really just me thinking about the number itself, and like. Kinda wild that 30,000 times someone had pushed a little button to say they liked one of my fics!

Kissing all your faces xoxoxo

[wakeywakeyjakey]

you know those fanfics that subtly (or blatantly) break your heart so much so that you have to take a good long pause and go be in the real world for a minute because it’s just so… ouch? i feel like that 99.99% of batjokes ffn lol

[caesurah-tblr]

I’m loving the dynamic between Bad and Bolas.

Bad dislikes them so much he’s willing to make a deal with Green for next to nothing just to make sure Red doesn’t win. It makes him the ultimate villain in their eyes, and I love every minute of it.

Heishin? Heishin :}

Idk DCMK characters are really a lot of fun to design and draw as animals/anthros,,,

[menlove]

honestly I feel like the go to etiquette for ao3 should be if you read smth all the way through just drop a kudos..... ofc u can't force anyone to do anything but I figure even if I didn't wind up enjoying it as much as I thought I would it's the least I can do to show my appreciation when it was obviously good enough to keep me reading to the end
