Sometimes I get asked why I don’t read real books. People tell me that reading is important and a great way to improve one’s knowledge, you know the drill.
And I’m like, damn.
I read 100k words worth of high-quality fanfiction every day. Not in my mother language, to be specific.
That’s more than half of my country reads in a year.
How ‘fuck off and leave me to finish my 300k slow burn’ sounds to you, ignorants?
Did some coloring on twitter, spent way to much time for something I wont be able to post lol.

And the realism strikes back! This one is a training for shades I did, in the end I even put some color! The other is a edit I did after, I liked the result so there it is too!

I'm genuinely the most ridiculous person in fandom.
I'm that bitch that finds 1 character that I project/stan or just like more than the others and them proceed to only consume content for this character. I'm that stupid person that will read synopses for fics, find them kinda interesting, and them not read them because I'm just not engaged in the other characters.
If a show ends and I didn't find any character or even a ship that I really want more of I'll probably move on from it way too fast no matter how good I found the original material to be.
Sometimes I deep dive into fandons from things I didn't even like that much because of this and it's probably very weird. Sometimes I'll watch a popular thing just to see if I can find a new engaging fandom and it's certainly very weird.
I make a point to not interact in any form that could be interpreted as demanding with people in fandom because then I would be the most unbearable bitch and I don't want that.
I'm not trying in any shape or form shame anyone that it's a bit like me, on the contrary, let me know if anyone feels similar so I don't feel so weird about it. This is purely my annual "Wtf me" post.
My Tumblr @kath-cat made 4 years today :]
I'm somewhat of a Tumblr veteran lol

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:
It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and
Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.
