I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

Skyphos number one! Inspired by a sculpture by Thorvaldsen, a rooster from Google, and my dog who is purportedly a chihuahua but looks like that.

painted some of this with my fingers.

for authenticity?

not to be dramatic but i just wanna say that i hate this whole kind of thing with all my being and think it makes fandoms worse and aggressively uninteresting

I'm tired of the numbers game. The popularity contest. The need to build hierarchies in a social environment where they don't really work. Fandom is by its nature decentralised and the barrier of entry is nonexistent as long as you have an internet connection and some kind of device to get online on.

You don't need to read the popular fic. You can, but it's not inherently better than going for the more marginal stuff if that is where your interests lie.

In fact, everyone deferring to the popular fic and the high-profile authors makes fandom narrower and more claustrophobic, and personally I gotta say: I'm not about that. Homogenous fanon leads to more boring fic because everyone is just treading the track laid by whoever happened to get picked by The Claw.

Just—go off the beaten path a little. Write that weird fic. Go back to canon and find the characters under their fanon masks. Take that back to fanfic and start a chewier trend.

nor will I have it for a luncheon.

I will not eat these wherever I am.
