dad said the concert was one of the best he’s went to! which means either the birthday gift was a HUGE success or he’s gotten a lot better at knowing when to give a considerate lie, and I’ll take either as a win tbh

This is a more new one, I think I started on early december. I think the inspiration is obvious.

I love Bob's Burgers Movie and this is my second fav song of the film. It just so well done for every character. 4 diferent songs in one, what else could you pssible want?

And also since my first draw I had the intention to make a new wallpaper for my celphone, Hate to have the same wallpaper for too long. Like a year is my limit.

this one for a strange reason doesn't have the blob, don't know if I accidentally erased or what.

Today I had a meeting with someone from the local council about getting some support to get myself out there more and he asked me about my hobbies and interests... the way my entire life flashed before my eyes as I realised "Din Djarin brainrot" would not be an acceptable answer....

a consequence of my wife being out of town is im getting a fraction of the usual socializing and now my words are both backed up and also uncontrollable when they flow. sorry to everyone in the world that i've replied to on their post or dm'd out of the blue, it's a manifestation of The Curse

One of the things that also bothers me about the “you must experience *insert trauma* in order to write darkfic about” narrative it is that it requires disclosure (which not all people want to do) and sometimes even veers into the territory of having to provide proof. When people like survivors of assault often have compounded trauma of not having evidence, having people doubt them or try to ruin their credibility. They don’t need to also face that from people because they read/wrote a FANFIC.

It also fosters this culture where people think it’s normal/acceptable to share really explicit trauma with strangers with little warning. And then even use it as a trump card. Like Person A might say, “Really loved *insert fic with an age gap relationship*”, and a total STRANGER feels entitled to say, “Wow, well I *insert graphic description of grooming/assault/etc*, so—” When 1) you don’t know what Person A has been through (again, gets at forced disclosure), and 2) you’re potentially triggering people by making them unexpectedly have to read something that they might not be in the right headspace to see.

Idk. I feel like I’m not saying this in a way that makes sense but I have a lot of feelings about it.

unnecesarily rambling answer inc. first of all: i completely agree with you. that’s the point of my tag #a psa on forced disclosure (see also the last reblog). i’ve seen writers get wildly dogpiled on and ‘forced’ into disclosing why they made the writing choices that they did, and it’s awful. fuck that. bad enough when the person whose identity/legitimacy under attack is a mainstream trad pub author (or professional actor) who has an entire professional team to manage this for them — but fanfic authors??? regular people? whose fic was maybe only intended to be read by like five people and who are just hoping their efforts in this silly little hobby will make their lives a little more bearable, a little more fun even? no real people are getting hurt, except maybe people who have wandered into a space they weren’t meant to be in, that wasn’t meant for them. yeah no patience for that here — and all the sympathy for these poor authors. you did not deserve that. you do not need to justify yourselves. also: the only things you are obligated to warn for on AO3 are the four major archive warnings. CNTW is a perfectly valid option too. ANYTHING else is courtesy.

as a very happy enjoyer of darkfic, if i have any trauma at all, it is entirely my business to decide who i want to tell, how, what, when, etc! my choice to not disclose anything publicly here—including age and pronouns—is 100% intentional i promise. i could be a minor. i’m on multiple 18+ discord servers. i’m not a minor 😂 i could be a swamp thing. if the possibility of that makes you uncomfortable genuinely please leave, i do not want to make anyone uncomfortable here!

ON a very different note — that said, there are benefits to disclosing! very different from Trauma (or is it?) but i personally found it extremely helpful that a lot of these fics were tagged or otherwise mentioned in the a/ns to be written by disabled authors. same too with POC characters, and gender/sexual minorities — it makes me a) more likely to seek these fics out, and b) read them with a slightly different eye than i might otherwise. so. i reiterate, not an obligation, AT ALL, but i’m very thankful for any authors who feel safe enough to share these things about themselves!

i also do wonder if choosing to disclose and talk about it might be empowering, in a way — but to be clear: this is a completely separate discussion from forced disclosure. i hardly imagine forced disclosure is empowering for anybody lol.
