#farewell!!

it’s been an amazing time on Tumblr for me, I haven’t even posted much though. I started just around this time last year too! But I’ve been really busy and don’t use this app much. I may or may not be back, so if you follow me thank you for stay <3 ( TOO SEE MORE OF ME MY SOCIALS ARE)

Ive been thinking a lot about this blog…always dangerous lol!

I’ve come to the realisation that I can not sustain the blog in the same way as before, and these fandoms wear you down after a while...

I want to say I’ll be on extended leave and would love to return (some day?), but certainly not anytime soon, if at all. Please assume this blog is now INACTIVE.

I’ll leave the blog up for archive reasons because every single one of you helped build this blog - there are so many dynamite asks, memes, posts on here and they deserve to stay!!! 💪🏽💪🏽

Asks and submissions are now closed. I will also not respond to any further tumblr DMs

We’ve really been through it, haven’t we? 😂

I was so lucky to have experienced this mad ride with all of you!! I’ve had ups and downs on here, but ultimately I wish everyone the very best!!! Please take care of yourselves 🧡

Truly, thank you all so much for the support, input and banter!

Much love 😭

Mod….out.

🧡🧡🧡🧡

i know I said that I would come back and start posting my ocs more but honestly, I think I’m gonna be a lot happier just going for a completely fresh start. im moving to a new blog and i will be posting my characters in peace.

ive had a lot of fun on this blog, I really have. i never really expected to have so many people like my dumb little comics! but it’s time for me to FULLY move on. I think I will feel a lot better to post my own characters and whatnot and not care about the numbers that they get.

my new blog is @tricky-v so go there if you want to see the losers i post

No idea what idiots are saying, but fuck anyone who dismisses Collins. She's written the only accessible, up-to-date dystopia about wealth inequality AND the function of mass media as a tool to empower and control that I know of. None of the so-called greats in the genre that young adults are usually exposed to come close to exploring modern media accurately. Problems w/ the trilogy aside, I believe this will be recognized in the decades to come.

You’re absolutely right. And if any of these jerks bothered to read the excerpt that was released along with the book announcement, instead of jumping straight to screaming “white bitch traitor is writing about a fascist, cancel her!!!” then they’d see this:

As in the past, the tributes would be dumped into the Capitol Arena, a now-dilapidated amphitheater that had been used for sports and entertainment events before the war, along with some weapons to murder one another. Viewing was encouraged in the Capitol, but a lot of people avoided it. How to make it more engaging was the challenge. 

This looks like it’s going to be the book about how you use mass media tricks to pretty up what was seen--honestly--as a hateful act of murdering children which people avoided seeing if they possibly could... into a big, fancy, romanticized event everyone loves.

That is fascinating and powerful.

But there’s a ton of people who think if they put “white” or “het” in front of outright misogyny--like that women artists are not allowed to write about dark subjects--that makes it woke. And some of those actively harass female authors and fanfic writers who don’t give them the soft pastel comfort porn they demand. They harass female creators who aren’t het or white too - so the transparent nature of those points is clear as well.

It is disingenuous bullshit used simply to justify the punishment and control women’s artistic expression.

It’s all part of a really disgusting overlap between media and book/ya fandoms and a range of controlling ideas about women as service providers of morality and comfort. Neovictorian wokeness.
