I’m gonna be off all my social media apps Christmas Eve & Christmas per the Data Strike. The ultra rich can piss off. I refused to XMas shop anyway because I can barely afford food and rent. The only thing left I have to withhold from them is my data.

On the plus side, I officially have 2 full days to write and paint undisturbed. The fandom must grow. 💪🏼

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

#fanfic #ao3 #archive of our own #fandom things #tumblr things #i may have said this at some point #i'm sure i have #but whatever - just in case #i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics #but just if anyone is so inclined that's all #ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog #i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting #but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen #not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy #at least of fics bc i save everything #not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about #that i've made or done and only posted here #anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today #i have plans to stare into the void now

hey, just as a btw, a fic or a series not uploading for a year doesn't mean its abandoned.

Sometimes the authors have shit going on, other wips, or! it just needs to sit and marinate for a bit. Collecting all the flavor and details it wouldn't have otherwise.

it's okay for updates to take a while.

And if you're impatient? Why not leave a nice comment telling us (the author(s)) what you love about the fic or series? say that you love it, and are "waiting eagerly for the next chapter" and/or that you "would love to see x or y happen because it would mean-"

This could be a new fandom vibe because of all the "i have to drop this while people are still interested" energy, but its not universal, and i don't believe its good for the fandom ecosystem.

Have patience, and have compassion. Remember that authors are human and these fics? (or comics, animatics, whatever) This is our art. We care about it just as much, if not more than you.

#fandom #this is because a bit ago a coauthor and friend of mine got an ask about our series and i had to take a step back #it had only been a few months! in which i had a depressive episode and more life complications #it felt bad y'all. hearing that i wasn't doing enough.#the tone was overall positive #but come on #asking for the notes about the series after only six months of us not uploading? actually it mightve been shorter #i think my coauthor uploaded more recently than i did #good things come to those who wait applies to you too.#sorry for getting all serious but this was seriously bothering me #and i finally have the words!

fighting back? against who? they're so happy—they've been waiting for you.

you are wonderful. don't you know that?

bonus: they play sims together :)

#running out of pre-made art for the queue… ;; sorry folks. hope you enjoy this though! you voted for it o7 #utdr #wd gaster #gaster fanart #utdr fanart #deltarune fanart #deltarune #kris deltarune #utdr player #utdr soul #ney’s art #ney’s comics #if gaster was ever an enemy in the actual story i feel like it’d be like this. antagonistic but not behaving maliciously for fun #just dial up his genuine affection for the world to an extreme and make it tinged with Scientific Interest #bam. disconnected and maybe unintentional damage. baked with love from the void #… i do love a good edgy evil guy though. and the goofy takes are favorites too.#btw lowkey this is based on how much the fandom collectively (i think?) loves kris #like yes go blorbo we want to see you overcome all challenges :)#our buddy took all this trouble of taking us to build-a-vessel and someone just stomped on it when we finished :( rude

my queers in christ we must fight homogeneity in fandom; it's evil and the death of creativity and a brain killer, we do not want to be smooth uniform identical shiny rocks, reading the same characterisations over and over again, we do not want to reiterate the same takes or the same fics, we want the creepiest weirdos coming up with shit so fantastical that it becomes fantastic, that is the point of it all

#stop with the my take is THE take I'm begging you #stop with the calling beginners out on drawing shit not as close to as original as possible #stop with the calling out writers not writing their fics for you #characters become us when we see them because we see ourselves in our favourite characters #we are going to add us to things #and make them our own #and that's good!#🧎🏽‍♀️#fandom #stealing fox's tag #but #fandom is suffering #meow speaks

sometimes old hyperfixations sneak up on you and attack from behind like a puma, other times you forget to look both ways when crossing the highway in your brain and one of them smashes into you like a semi-trailer truck

Aro-culture is being over the moon about a character being aromantic or aro-spec in a book and then immediately seeing them shipped in the fandom

make aro content of the character! talk about why they're aromantic! you can begin the change!

#aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod phoenix #fandom aro culture #i'm going to be honest with y'all: have hope and be the change you want to see #it's easy to get lost in feeling bad if you never push against it #and y'all send us a lot of kinda depressing shit? we're honestly pretty close to adding a 'please stop sending only sad things' type of rul #for every sad thing you send you gotta send something good okay?#it might be a silly 'aro culture is [green thing] / [food you like]'#it might be 'aro culture is being grateful for [character you hc as aro] / [people doing good in the world] / [cool projects or science]#but tbh i am going to propose that to the others in our system before i add that rule

I work hard on my icons is the thing, and I know other creators do as well, they're small edits but they're still edits

It's finding the perfect screen shot, its lighting and coloring and even more!

then we put them nicely onto a rebloggable post, give people different color options and shapes, throw in lil graphics to give it a certain flair

All. For. Fucking. Free.

the least you can do is like the post you take your icon from, the best thing you can do is reblog them

I stopped making icons for months because my posts would get like 13 notes (most of them likes) and yet I'd see the icon be used by more than 13 people - NONE OF WHICH LIKED OR REBLOGGED THE POSTS

I've even seen people take my icons (again who didn't like or reblog the original post) and edit them and use them for something else WITHOUT MY PERMISSION or give me credit

its exhausting, please support the content creators on this website

#kayla.txt #the funny thing is when a good fucking chunk of fandom uses your icons and they have so little notes like jfc #I TAKE FUCKING REQUESTS #i know Im slow at them and I dont get to all of them but its right there #Im not askimg for credit I just want a reblog #ppl who give credit are the real ones though I love you 🥰#not necessary but makes me feel good #ive been doing this for years for free #I know when ppl steal my icons #i have a style I have a technique #the pngs I create are good ones #I literally paint the character in a mask and zoom in to make sure I get every hair and fold in the clothes #its not easy sometimes #AND LIGHTING ICONS JFC #just idk #we all pick our icons its something everyone sees on their dash everytime they go on tumblr #just give icon makers and banner makers and just all content creators more respect is what im saying #rant over
