#themys things

Bonus points if they wear long coats and are chronically ill (looking at you, Rei and Isaac).

Now I am highly tempted to draw Isaac in that Rei fit eh eh

Also for more little similarities between Rei and Isaac (bc it's while presenting Rei to a friend that it clicked):

Realized I never done anything like that on here so hi, I'm Themys, mostly an artist in fandoms, but I've been taking a stab at writing lately.

I'm currently in the Wednesday fandom, hyperfixated on Tyler/Isaac, so you'll be seeing a lot of this. This current blog is my art blog where I post most of my fanarts (I tend to reserve WIPs for my personal blog), but you can also find me:

on my personal/main blog

I'm very open to be asked things as long as they're respectful. I am proship, in the original sense, aka = I believe in ship and let's ship, using "notp" instead of going on a moral crusade against a ship you don't like, blocking, muting, and tagging appropriately, and am against trying to assume someone's morality on their ships or assign them real life crimes based purely on the fiction they consume. I also strongly dislike ship wars, as I find them pointless. Shipping isn't activism, nor a war of "who has it more canon". Fandoms are transformative spaces, if you can't have fun there, then why even be in fandoms?

I know I'm an old fart. But I also know you're way closer to be my age than you think. You'll reach 30 and realize that you don't suddenly feel like an old person, that you won't suddenly only care about taxes or raising children. That your interests will still be here.

And you'll have a choice. Either you try to stick to your idea that ppl over 25, or 30 (funnily the goal post gets moved, as ppl using this argument gets older themselves) can't be in fandom enjoying ships, and you force yourself out of your interests.

Or you admit you were wrong and keep doing what you do.

Anyway I won't judge you if you hold off interacting with my art or shipping posts bc of antis. It sucks but your safety and comfort in fandoms take priority.

I'm used to it. Systematically falling for antagonists generally leads you to some ships that would have been seen as basic 10/20 years ago and are now the peak of problematic. I've shipped Haringrove, EDEN, Sebaciel, kliego, kaeluc, plantcest, ect. Tysaac is just another addition to the list.

None of them have turned me into a monster irl bc surprise surprise, you have agency regarding the fiction you consume, and it's up to you and your moral compass to let or not let fiction affect your reality.

Like obviously, the first seasons are often introductory and try to not put too much, or can get away with not developing everything they set up from the get go because it's a first season. They ease you into their universe and set things up. So 8 episodes can work.

But then, they have to develop on the elements that weren't resolved in S1. And they need to introduce new elements to keep the story going and interesting and not just act as a conclusion to S1 (after all, you need to set up the upcoming seasons).

And then, 8 episodes isn't enough anymore. You can't develop old characters properly, introduce new characters with enough in-depth informations, you can't take your plots as far as you'd have hoped, etc.
