“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as you’re not romanticizing it”
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as it’s your way of coping with your trauma”
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as —”
actually, anybody — including you — can write non-con and dark fics, and any other fucked up things, however they want, for whatever reasons.
wanna romanticize the fuck out of your non-con / dead dove do not eat fic? go ahead. don’t let anybody stop you from creating the art you want to create.
wanna write non-con fic even if you were never a victim? go ahead. you don’t have to meet any specific criteria in order to create the art you want to create.
just tag your works properly so that you don’t accidentally expose those who might not want to be exposed to such topics to the topics, and you’re all good.
art does not have to be for everybody.
art has never been strictly about rainbow and sunshine. art can also be about the horror and the macabre.
art can be outright disgusting and messed up, and being disgusting and messed up can be just what makes the art a masterpiece.
write whatever you want to write and say fuck you to censorship.
isn’t it problematic to write non-con or dark fics?
isn't it problematic to make horror or slasher movies?
the answer to both of the questions above is no.
it is, however, problematic to judge a person based on something that is entirely fiction.
Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy
Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE
Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted
Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative
Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying
huh i just realized i never posted this new years doodle but heres also the art i did for the leokumi week prompt list by itself

So with Joann going under and as a Fashion/Costume Designer and a cosplayer I need a place to get fabric and notions, and I know many others feel lost as well
So I made a short simple list of online fabric stores as well as notions .
Please share with anyone you would like. If you have recommendations of things to add please let me know.
There's only a few right now of ones I know and have used
I may add a few niche ones like Silk Baron but I am mainly adding ones with many options and maybe add a niche section later
More places with trims would be nice, or even patterns, historical, cosplay, or everyday.

FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!

riddle sketch
(Ripped from Pinterest like two years ago don’t know who was the original oop)
More and more riddle
I tinted my hair red for this mf /srs
heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.
why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.
ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.
they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.
so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.
you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.
you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".
of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.
and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.
my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.
it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.
now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.
people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
WHO IS USING THIS
AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
THE LAST FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
Someone may have already had this take but uh.
Leo and Forrest right. Leo is deemed as phobic to Forrest by a lot of fans, BUT, I like to think that Leo just so happens to be projecting his childhood (ie mostly his relationship with his mother) and is struggling to overcome it. Like, guy doesn’t know what a good parent really is, for starters he was a child borne out of wedlock from a woman apart of a harem, who was competing with other women and children to become the next queen. Already at the lowest of the low despite having dragon’s blood in him.
Leo already has self esteem issues of trying to become better and or equal to Xander, likely stuck in his head by his mother so she could be recognized as the woman who raised him if he struck stardom with Garon. She very much held high expectations for him, and after she died he held onto them. It has made tension with his relation with his siblings especially Xander as noted for their entire support.
Because he had Forrest during the war - while he was still struggling with those thoughts - he embodied what his mother was to him; image and fighting skill is everything, surpass those that are higher in status and skill only then will you be recognized as someone of worth. Forrest just so happened to do neither, as he went against social norms with his appearance and chose to be a healer instead of a fighter.
Luckily, Leo snapped out of it at least some of it by the end of Forrest’s prologue, but he still has a long way to go.
Anyway that’s my two cents. Enjoy Ꮚ`ꈊ´Ꮚ
