I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:
you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives. also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.
a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!
I would love to hear some lore between Vex and Sunflower!!!
AHHHH OKAY!!!
(For clarity, Vex uses She/They pronouns and Sunflower uses Any)
So Isla Q is a QSMP parody rp server I'm on with @mement0m0r1 (who put the whole thing together!), @sotibllec, and a bunch of other awesome people! The island, train station, and general premise is the same as the QSMP, but the Federation itself and the general plotline is quite different. Different how, I'm not quite sure yet, but investigation is ongoing on the island!
Just like the QSMP, residents of Isla Q found eggs in an adoption center built into the wall and were assigned partners to take care of them with! My character, Vex, was partnered with another character, 02, and they chose an egg with a sunflower on its shell and named her Sunflower Due to a mix of irl factors, 02 hasn't been able to be very active on the server, which means that Vex and Sunny have grown very close.
And nowww the funky stuff. There were a couple weeks where Vex wasn't able to be on the island (school got hectic.) During this time, Sunny grew very close to one of the Federation workers who had a sharpie smile drawn on his face by other islanders named Friendly Worker. Friendly has since disappeared without a trace, leaving Sunflower confused but certain that their friend would show up to save them if he was ever in danger.
That theory was tested when, one week, the task entailed taking the eggs to an ocean monument. Sunny was slain by a guardian.
When Sunny woke up back at home, Vex was there waiting. Sunny couldn't understand why her friend hadn't saved her, and Vex didn't have the heart to tell him that the very organization he called her friend was the one that assigned the dangerous task in the first place.
Here's an elaboration of the relationship between them (with hints at Vex’s own little secrets):
something about tsukumo yuma.
something about having every right to hate, to distrust to take revenge, but instead, he chooses to love, to believe to have hope every single time.
something about having a bright, colorful room but instead sleep in a cold, lifeless attic where the artifacts— the very memories of his parents - are stored. something about keeping them close to his heart. something about desperately clinging to the lives of people who are gone
something. about repeating the catchphrase his father taught him. something about letting "kattobingu" become the center of his personality. something about the echo of someone living on in another.
something....about being lonely. something about keeping his sadness close to his heart. something about showing happiness instead. for the sake of others.
something..
i love you im glad you exist im so happy you’re alive

If you're using gen AI because "you want to make art but don't know how/can't learn/it's easier/whatever"
You don't want to make art.
You want someone to make art for you, but you don't want to pay or exchange anything of equal value for it, and also you want it right now, in whatever style you fancy that moment, and in whatever quantity you want. You're greedy and entitled and it is just that simple. You don't want to make anything.
these tags that someone left on my nether post. these tags.
Who are we, the player, to say that the nether is unfit for life? Who are we to look into the roiling fire and infinite redness, to name it hell? Who do we think we are? It wasn't meant for us. We got here by passage of magic, to a world we weren't built to live in, weren't created to survive.
We look upon the creatures we see and call them vile. We gaze across the land and call it dangerous. Everything, everywhere, can hurt us, so by nature, the nether must be evil... right?
Before you came, the striders carry their children on their backs. The wither skeleton stand guard of their own fortresses. The ghast waft about their own sky. But they know you are different. They know you are Wrong, and your Wrongness leads you to tear what they know apart, and when they fight it's only fit that you see them as evil.
The nether is hell. But it is only hell for us.
