Tumblr going hog on vanilla extract is proof that we’re forgetting the old wisdom of ancient memes.

this is a tweet, but it’s relevant here

this is actual delusion. like , is anon ok. this is genuinely unwell behavior

not submission. I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing. Cause like, no? Just because they are your oc doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with them. If you want to make your oc suffer and not like them get help, you deserve to lose rights over them. Especially if you only do that stuff to purposely trigger people. Once you do that, your oc no longer belongs to you. they belong to the public who will take better care of them instead

Making a comment to get this to post.

If you want people to make characters that aren’t cishet white men, you have to actually tolerate people making those characters 3 dimensional, rounded characters with both good and bad qualities, otherwise you can’t expect more diversity or representation in fiction because if you bitch and whine about every single female/non-white/non-cishet character not being a perfect precious cinnamon roll capable of no wrong, nobody’s going to want to cater to you and nobody’s going to want to create anything if it’ll just be inevitably torn apart by a bunch of wild animals on some blue website.

Visual representation of writing one (1) scene and then realizing you have no idea what goes next:

“oppress fujoshi!”

let’s try that again!

“oppress women that consume m/m content!”

doesn’t sound as good, does it?

im not even in fandom but after seeing small artists getting harassed on twitter for things like this . i couldn’t agree more

I'm allowed to find the interest in incest and underaged shipping a huge red flag and to compare that to religious brainwashing? Especially seeing as I'm someone who is a CSA survivor and survivor of religous abuse? That's vile.

The obsession with other people's shipping is the red flag part. It's not a red flag to dislike some kinds of stories, or to find them disgusting, or to believe that there's something wrong with the people who write or read them.

The problems come when they decided they, personally, have been appointed to "fix the problems" in the fannish community... and target marginalized creators instead of the institutions that those creators are reacting to.

(See them NOT holding protests against Game of Thrones. See them not "cancelling" anyone with an HBO subscription.) (HBO-Max costs about $120/year, but there's no threats against people who pay for that instead of donating to AO3.)

The similarities to religious brainwashing come in when they build communities based on a shared hatred of other people's activities, and go out of their way to (1) harass other people and (2) treat each other as the only good, noble, pure fanfic readers.

Notice the antis NOT reaching out to the Mil-SF communities that don't want any shipping in their fics, just tech and space battles. Notice them not talking to the mainstream romance communities that want non-problematic, happily-ever-after stories. They're not looking for people who share their interests or taste in fiction. They're looking for targets, and they're using that search as a way to force their own members into isolation.

They will insist it's not like religious brainwashing because there is no specific canon, no core scriptures, no specific leaders.

...But the patterns of isolation, abuse, and harassment are absolutely the same kind you find in religious cults.

It's my 8 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

"Toujours Couture " Barbie Fashion Model Gold Label Barbie Collector (2007)

I am so serious when I say if you want to learn about light, you NEED to at least look at modeseven’s tutorials. even if you’re not pursuing a painterly style, this is all essential theory that can be easily adapted to different coloring styles. notice how none of these ever say ‘light with these colors and shade with these colors’? notice how this is teaching how light works on a mechanical level, and reminding the audience to adjust the actual colors they choose by context? THAT is good advice.

(if you’re thinking ‘wow I want to study more of this persons art!’ I encourage you to do so, but proceed with the knowledge that modeseven draws pretty much exclusively weird as hell kink art. sometimes wisdom comes from horny places)

Here's a lil tutorial about how i approach drawing slightly fluffy masc body types (I guess Dadbods) I hope it's helpful!!!

How to Write an Antihero

An antihero is neither a hero not a villain, but a character who lacks the qualities necessary to be a hero. Because an antihero hinges on knowing what a hero is, you can check out my article on How to Write a Hero.

Flaws and Virtue

              Most characters have flaws and virtues. However, the flaws of an antihero are more balanced compared to those of a hero. Of course, an antihero must not be so flawed as to stray into villainy. They are simply too flawed and not virtuous enough to be called a hero.

Good Intentions

              The motives behind antiheros are what separates them from villains. They will likely want a noble outcome, such as saving the kingdom, but might go about it the wrong way. For example, if a character holds a princess hostage in hopes of negotiating with the king, the reasons and methods are what divide the categories. The point between an antihero and villain is what he wants from the king and how he treats the captured princess.

Sympathy

              As I demonstrated, an antihero is contingent on how the audience understands their actions, motives, and values. A way to achieve this balance is by manipulating the audience’s sympathy. Read my article about writing sympathetic characters to learn more.

What is a magic system?

When writing speculative fiction, one of the writer’s most important jobs is to establish the new rules for their world. In many branches of speculative fiction, especially fantasy and even horror, this is magic, though it can also be technology and alternate scientific rules for science fiction. Whatever alternate fact(s) or reality you utilize to make your fictional world possible, that qualifies as a “magic system.” Your magic system is most often defined by what it can’t do rather than by what it can.

Why do I need a magic system?

When writing speculative fiction, it’s usually assumed that something about your world is different than ours. That can be a small tweak or it can be a complete dismantle-and-reassembly of physics as we understand it. Whatever system you choose to implement, it needs to have internally consistent rules. If, throughout the course of your book, magics begin to contradict each other, then it will disturb your readers suspension of disbelief. You don’t want your awesome magic to yank your readers from the believability of the story. But…most important of all…you have to establish some sort of rules and limits in order to prevent yourself from pulling a deus ex machina. No one likes a poorly executed deus ex machina. Few people like a well executed one (is there such a thing?). If you have rules, limits, cost, built into the magic or technology of your world, then you establish something that is not only nuanced and interesting, but believable.

But…but…it’s magic!!!

Why write speculative fiction if I have to create and follow all of these tedious rules?! The real world has rules enough.

It’s true. But following your own rules and following real worlds aren’t the same thing. Lots of you have probably heard the little saying, “Give your world a Flux Capacitor.” If you think about it, Back to the Future’s Flux Capacitor doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s not explained. But we accept it because it’s magic. And when Doc says, “Here’s this thing. It makes time travel possible.” We accept it because it’s a simple alteration. He doesn’t try to use it to do more than what is initially established. It never breaks that rule. It’s not used to get Marty out of an impossible situation, defying any previous understanding of the technology. That’s why it works.

So where you do start?

First, you need to probably choose what type of magic you will use. Will be elements based? Or energy based? Spirit? Physical? Time and Space? What things is your magic summoning/manipulating/drawing from?

Now you’ll want to focus on the parts that make your magic yours. Sure, elemental magic has been used half a zillion times, but it can still be interesting if you do something new with it. The best way to do something new is to alter its limits, change the cost, give it a new spin that makes your regular ol’ fire magic something intriguing.

You can do a little bit of research into ancient forms of magic, into other literary uses of magic. See what those before you have done and use it as an inspiration.

If you’re having trouble knowing where to start, I’m here to provide you some thoughts concerning the skeletal-assembly of your magic system! Use these prompts as you see fit!
