You ever have that moment where you really like a character, but the thing is, this character doesn’t show up all that much? Like, maybe 2 times, and out of those two times, the first is when they actually do something important, but the second is the character just standing around, not doing anything important to the plot, but the character is still visibly there?
So you’re like ‘Omg, there they are, the lad :0’ and you’re just so happy to see this character, but because of how minimum the character is, you can’t find much else for said character on anything? And then you feel down?

sometimes I think about how if Avatar came out now the people who use Zuko as The Only Acceptable Redemption Arc and shit on every other villain-to-hero character would be the same ones writing screeds on why he's problematic and unforgivable if the show was coming out now

I love the art you drew of DCA wearing a raincoat!! 💗💗
And this is a small gift! ( •͈ ̫ •͈ ꢏ💝ꢖ
Haruka!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU'RE AMAZING!
I love love love everything about your art! The rainbow in the background! The ripples in the puddle below! The flowers and trees! The lighting! The little sun and moon in their raincoats and boots!! They look so cute in your style! And! You even incorporated the textures in moon's hat! Oh my gosh your attention to detail is amazing! Your art is such an inspiration!
I drew a little response from the boys:
The boys love it too! They haven't budged from the fridge all day!
I'm not judging, I have this beautiful art set on my phone and my desktop wallpaper. It brings me so much joy! Thank you again, wonderful friend! ♥️♥️♥️

okay, so in a rare moment for me, there's a discourse thing i want to bring up, and that thing is. okay. so on iskall's stream there's this thing that can happen where someone brings up a criticism of his content or vault hunters. frequently it's self-evidently wrong, but sometimes it's not. and then iskall spends the next thirty minutes shadowboxing this guy, explaining himself, and completely derailed. and this is an iskall trait we all know and sigh bemusedly about, because he cares about the community and wants people to understand his intentions! he wants the community to understand his decisions!
however, it's not the community as a whole he's fighting; he is in fact, arguing with One Guy, who often doesn't represent the wider community, and who normally won't have their mind changed. hell, sometimes it's believable that they're satisfied having just managed to upset iskall, and they'll leave, no change to their mind, perfectly pleased that iskall's responding at all (that's what i firmly believe the people who poke at the 'you don't upload enough and that means you're falling off and a bad person' wound are trying to do, at least).
in the vault hunters community, we refer to this as iskall getting One Guyed, and it's typically viewed as bad, because it ends up focusing an entire moment on a single guy's negative opinion as opposed to on the larger picture. and it's an understandable thing to have happen! but it's frustrating to watch from the outside.
and so now i am looking at that cat poll. and the way everyone is still shadowboxing someone who has since apologized. and the way i would have never ever known about any of the negative comments about jellie if it weren't for fellow mcyt fans constantly putting them on my dash to dunk on them. and it's like. if you look through the notes most of them are just... normal? it's only a tiny few of people (and the pollrunner, who has since apologized) who were being dicks. it's a very, very ignorable demographic.
but. well. there was One Guy. and we had to correct them.
and folks, i don't know how to say that i almost never see "lol mcyt is cringe" type comments unless one of you puts it on my dash. both because i don't go looking through the notes of things that are likely to have them or go looking for reasons to be upset and because it's just... not that common! very frequently these days it is, in fact, One Guy!
i have almost never seen that poll on my dash without at least one instance of the One Guy. instead of being for fun, it's mostly become about explaining ourselves to someone who will not listen and will not change their minds, and treating this as a the whole of the Other Side of that poll, when most people are being... fine. they're fine! the majority of the people voting for the other side are doing it for perfectly normal reasons that don't require fighting about.
and man. let me tell you. after spending as long as i have watching vault hunters development? it can be just as frustrating to watch a fandom get One Guyed as it is to watch iskall.

Just as a note from someone who's been in mcytblr for years now, qsmpblr you really have to start reblogging more posts.
Out of all the mcytblr fandoms I've been in, qsmpblr has some of the worst reblog to like ratios I've seen and that's incredibly sad because there are so many talented people in this space.
Reblogging is super important because it moves posts out of a tag and as the Tumblr search system is atrocious, a lot of those posts are lost to time if not reblogged.
The only reason people are able to find old posts a lot of the time and keep them circulating is because someone reblogged it. It keeps the qsmpblr ecosystem alive when you reblog stuff!
I have 3-4 year old posts from hermitblr and trafficblr that still get notes to this day because people find them on other people's blogs.
I'm not saying you have to reblog every single post you come across and I'm not trying to make you feel guilty if you don't, that's silly. But if you like something maybe consider reblogging it as well.
Think of it like a corkboard on your wall, you get to display a cool post whether it's art or a text post for others to see, and the poster is happy that their post has been acknowledged. It's a win-win!
