Reblog to let your followers know that despite your current obsession your previous obsessions still exist and are simply lying dormant until they awaken and strike again

btw this was supposed to be a finale piece for a 5 day series (leading up to christmas) where i would draw things associated with the lords in black, but i completely lost motivation on day one and now that motivation has hit me now, so i’ll probably do the rest of the lib leading up to new years =p

currently drawing the worst(s) ever

all hail HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIGGLY!!!!

crazy how two of my favorite fictional characters birthdays fall on christmas (those two characters are melvin sneed sneedley and wiggog y’wrath)

I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

Copy pasted from Facebook:

Darlings. If you are experiencing dysregulation right now in the form of dorsal freeze (this feels like you have a lot of nervous energy inside but you cannot mobilise or focus. Think an engine revving but the car is in neutral) Try any or all of these. 🩵 (Please note this post is set to public for sharing purposes).

1. Drink some water

2. Move your body in some way. Micromovements and shoulder raises and releases, hand shake outs and horse lips count. Toe wiggles. Don’t underestimate little actions, they truly can get us out of a state of freeze.

3. Eat something with protein in it. Eat something fresh. Then eat anything you like.

4. Turn off the news. Your brain was not designed to process this much information stimulation and stress.

5. Do 3 or more rounds of box breathing.

6. Put on a favourite song and sing along loudly to it

7. Put down your phone: Create some tiny sense of order. Make a bed, clear a sink, wipe a counter, arrange some flowers. If you cannot put down your phone: delete some emails or close some phone tabs. Update an app.

8. Move to another room or space

9. Colour or doodle

10. Go outside/Open a window/turn down the heat a bit. Circulate stagnant air and energy.

11. Send a kind message to someone

12. Splash your face with cold water

13. Cross your arms across your chest and tap alternate shoulders rhythmically

14. Call someone, walk around while you talk if you can.

i love every single one of my internet friends so much y'all don't even know 🫶

Dear friends of Tumblr,

Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.

Fun fact: I’m autistic I’m gonna do a thing inspired by another person

Reblog if your blog is safe for autistic people or is ran by an autistic person!

oh and

Reblog if you stand against Autism Speaks!

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.

My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.

My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.

This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.

Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.

I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.

So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.

who are they? (wrong answers only)
