tfw “popular” fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don’t subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.
I’m never muting this post I love learning about fandom beef I’d never ever considered before
Giving a fandom artist a touch repulsed character and telling them to make ship art with the character without defaulting to physical affection the same way they would with a non touch repulsed character and slapping their hands every time they fail
Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane
[Image IDs: Tweet and reply from iris (sewing needle emoji) (@/ aCenusOfStars) reading: i think it’s nutritious for you as an artist to have an emotional attachment to something interesting that constantly wastes its potential
i think it forces you to understand both 1) what you find compelling and why and 2) how you’d like that to be executed on a craft level /End IDs]
is this ship popular because it’s legitimately compelling or is it popular because it’s the easiest to decontextualize and write college roommate AUs about?
this post broke containment and is getting ‘let people have fun and enjoy things’ comments, so i want to clarify that i hate fun and want to personally bludgeon everyone who has ever written a college roommate AU with a hammer
i don’t even favor martin as a character but tbh the amount of people who will either A) not draw him fat even though he’s implied to be in-podcast, (sucks badly but i’m used to it) or B) draw him ‘fat’ in a way that implies they’ve never once seen a fat person in their life (somehow more egregious to me) is insane. if you’re a well-practiced artist and can draw your 75lb skeleton jon, i promise you can learn to draw martin fat in a way that looks believable. fat people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and yet some people are still choosing those which have never before existed. learn how fatness works for the love of god. there’s books on this if you want.
just realised i never actually posted the magnus archives mug i painted on here (the mugnus archives?), so here she is!!! 👁️☁️🌀📼
thank you to @pestopasta626 for reminding me about it because i straight up forgot skdjskjdks
(btw i very sadly can’t sell these since it’s a hand painted piece so it took a long ass time to do :”)) i’ve briefly looked into producing some of these but im not sure how the legality of it works since tma belongs to rusty quill ofc)
