Maybe if I was prettier. Or maybe if I was more horrifying actually

does anyone else remember the foxhole court bc that was so insane. for awhile the biggest thing on tumblr was a self published book series that no one outside of this website has ever heard of and that was never even published in physical form about a guy who fakes his name, age (by one year) and identity to join a sports team for a fake sport that the author invented for the series despite the fact that it was literally just lacrosse, after being on the run and changing his name hundreds of times because his mobster dad tried to sell him to a rival sports team that was actually owned by the japanese mafia. or something like that. and then every single subsequent thing that happened was somehow more batshit soap opera plotlines. this was literally the most popular book series on tumblr and was put on book rec lists alongside like, the great gatsby and donna tartt books. if I didn’t remember it so clearly I would assume I hallucinated this

oh and to be clear this series was not set in japan, the japanese mafia just owned an american college sports team and was super invested in it for some reason

It’s also important that Welcome to Night Vale was created by a Jewish man, Joseph Fink, who made the protagonist explicitly Jewish. And he made him explicitly gay to honor the voice actor, Cecil Baldwin. Joseph Fink didn’t make the protagonist gay for “woke points” or to cross off a quota or get praise. This was 2012, and a gay protagonist was almost unheard of. He did it to honor his friend, the man who shared his voice and name. It has been, from the very start, art designed for people to see themselves. (Well, to hear themselves.) It’s fine to not like it but its merit shouldn’t be denied. 

homestuck fans or former fans talk about toby fox in such a different way to utdr fans who never read hs and its hilarious to me

utdr fans are like "toby fox is so inspiring and his games changed my life i rly look up to him" but hs fans are like that's my friend radiation we went to homestuck together
