I love Raph and haven’t said that enough so to be more specific I love that Raph is a soft boy who loves bear plushies, a gross boy who eats an assortment of things that are definitely better left alone, a smart boy who is more than capable of taking down villains through planning and fortitude alike, a strong boy who is dedicated to training his muscles and fighting prowess, a teenage boy who loves his brothers but is more than happy to tease and roughhouse with them, an angry boy who sometimes lets his anger take a hold of him to cover the fear, a gentle boy who is generous with hugs and affirmations to those he loves, a capable boy who takes on more than should ever be expected of a teenager, a good boy who just wants to be a hero and slowly comes to realize the cost of that duty, a good boy who has no reservations about putting himself in the way of harm coming to his family, a good boy who’s a great brother and son and person and deserves only the best the world has to offer.

Lynnie Green was and still is a fan of Bea- she refers to herself as an 'acolyte' in an interview I listened to. She was a fan even before getting on the show, she followed Bea's theater career closely. She's also talked about how (I can't remember which appearance) at the end of filming Bea said she was going for a drink (I think they shared a dressing room) and how she regrets that Bea was obviously offering to take her out on the town and she was so, like, in awe that she fumbled it and she regrets it to this day because she wanted to cross that bridge from acolyte to confidant and thinks they could've been great friends. She's also said Bea kept in touch with her after filming and would always greet her warmly when they ran into each other or offer her tickets to some shows a few times over the years. OH and she's a lesbian, happily married to her wife (just found this out at the last Golden Con). she rocks, basically.

Anon, oh my god. The amount of incredible information you have given me.

First of all -- Lynnie referring to herself as an acolyte of Bea is incredible. Honestly wish I'd been able to follow Bea's career as closely as Lynnie did, if only for the chance to call myself her acolyte.

The story about Bea inviting her out for a drink and her fumbling the invitation is so relatable, oh my god. Can you imagine, getting to work with someone you admire so much? No -- getting to impersonate her?? And then she invites you out for a drink??? I would have died on the spot. Holy shit. Absolutely incredible. I'm so sorry for her that she didn't get to become Bea's friend but honestly I completely get her panic!

And Bea -- I know by now that she was a complete sweetheart, but this information just melts my heart!!! She kept in touch with her? She was warm to her and sent her tickets to her shows??? Oh ;-; what a sweet lovely person she was!!! I'm forever mad I didn't get the chance to see her in person! What a blessing upon this world!!

And on top of all this, on the first day of pride month, you come and tell me Lynnie is a happily married lesbian?? Anon you have made me so happy. So so so happy. Thank you so much!!! You're absolutely right, she rocks!

hey, i'm so sorry this happened! similar thing happened to me a couple years ago and it was absolutely devastating. but it will pass, they'll get bored and move onto something else and probably forget about it before the month ends (which like... lol wish we could forget about it too!!) don't let this make you stop writing etc, after a break if you want to continue writing, you should. hope you're doing better 🩵🩵

I’m sorry you’re also a part of this shitty little club 😅 but it is/was very reassuring to realize how quick the cycle of twitter goes (honestly, drag me for this but mirage going home I think was the saving grace for my fic getting drowned and disappearing on drag race twitter so thank you mirage for saving my ass)

I wish I could forget about it and I know I’ll always be there in the back of my brain but I feel SO much better than I did when it was all fresh. I’ve gotten so many sweet wonderful messages of support and people telling me what this story has meant to them, and that’s so much more important than what a few people on twitter trying to be edgy who are insecure and feel the need to bully others about it have to say 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am glad to be back and move forward from all this (though I will probably forever be making snarky jokes and comments about it, what can I say, I love to hold a grudge 😂)

I was thinking about this the other day and wondering why it’s become so much less fun to write for BNHA and I think it’s because… I’ve written too much?

Like being a one-off author was fine and fun and novel and people were so cool and supportive, but now I’ve got multiple long fics and people have started treating me like someone that “creates content” rather than someone who is writing for fun. And I’ve shot myself in the foot by continuing to write long-fic and putting my heart and soul into them and it’s like never enough, people just expect more and more and more and I want to keep giving and keep doing better but no matter what I write it’s just not ENOUGH

And like… this started a little after I finished Zero Sum Game but like… people have started forming “opinions” that they share openly about “me” - I can’t stand going into fandom space and seeing people say they can’t read anything I write, or they don’t like me as an author, openly ranking my works, saying xyz is overrated or mention me by name in shipping discourse or send me hate mail or update requests or just straight up telling me they’re not going to read what I write anymore… and these people don’t know me!!! I’m just an empty space to them!!! Just a machine that pumps out thousands on thousands of words to just look at an forget about instantly!!!!!!!!

Where do people get off honestly. Is it like this everywhere or is it just BNHA? Is it because it’s so popular that the community has broken down completely? Sincerely what the fuck how can anyone treat writers like this…

i am a fool who doesn't practice my instrument much, but I would kill to play some pieces, despite their difficulty. Are there any pieces that you would want to play in a band if you could?

Apologies for the late response, I'm out of town visiting family rn lol. I would love to play Jupiter properly, I played a basic arrangement of it in 8th grade, but not the real thing. One of my friends loves that piece so much, it moves her to tears. That's the big name choice. A chance to play the solo in the Jurassic Park theme would be fun too lol. For a smaller name one, Fiesta De Los Toros by Brian Balmages. He's a go to composer for a lot of middle and high school band directors I think lmao, and that one piece in particular has fascinated me; we had a very, very skilled trumpet player in my high school band, and he struggled with the trumpet solo in that piece. There are also *TWO* horn solos in it that I would like another chance at, perhaps. We never performed that piece, it was just for fun.

Right now I really like horn choir more than a regular concert band tbh. As for pieces I'd love to do a horns-only arrangement of, I'm not sure. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen slapped SO HARD it was wonderful

But if you want some horn solos to look at, there's that Morcau de Concert by Saint Saëns, it's quite good to know I've been told, and it has a lot of technical stuff to work through. I believe it was written as an audition piece originally, which is why there's a lot of different stuff in it. But I'm not the best person to ask about horn solos lol

One thing that really pushes me away from certain breeds is that their communities can be so diehard "If you don't do sports with your dog then you're wasting your dogs potential and abusing them", and I just don't vibe with that. I love dog sports and watching dogs have fun and do what they're bred to do, but I also understand that you don't have to do sports to fulfill your dogs needs for stimulation and fun. Living a lowkey life isn't abuse.

But I also don't give a shit regardless, because its my dog and ill do sports if I want to, not because I feel pressured.

Gonna rant a bit about fandoms, because I have some thoughts to share.

Kind of sad to see that fandoms are starting to be viewed as a generally bad thing even by the fans lately... It is such a strange change to see, especially if you've been participating in fandom culture since the beginnings of the internet. Nowadays, the moment something becomes fairly popular and beloved by many, you can see hundreds of people feeling genuinely frustrated or upset that 'now the fandom is going to ruin it like it always does'. I see this take mainly on Twitter, but it's prominent on Tumblr and other platforms as well. I've been a part of fandoms both big and small, and, sure, smaller fandoms are generally more cozy and easy to interact with, but what happened with curating your own experience? It's so sad to see bigger fandoms be addressed as this disgusting and gross thing (both old and new, which is even more upsetting to see), when there are thousands of wonderful creators putting so much love and time into their art, fanfics, fan-projects, and so much more. Fandom is a community, first and foremost. Sure, consuming content is a big part of it, but why are we treating fandoms like it's some big assembly line that needs to be perfectly cut out for our needs? It's more like a fun fair, and it's up to you to choose which vendors to come up to, and what do you want to interact with. And yes, you should interact with creators. By no means is that a necessity (I was a silent viewer for a long time myself), but it is still encouraged. I feel like fandom is becoming less about interacting with people and more about consuming content. And, subsequently, fanmade content is starting to get viewed as product, and treated as such. And that's sad to see.
