(and won't ever get one)

I drew it as my new twitter banner heh

Yes, actually DH Pyro is genderfluid, so they are not only my boyfriend, but also my girlfriend. Also, yes, this is NOT DH OWEN!!! They are from Tangle of Thorns, my other AU that I haven't mentioned here before. Why did I draw them together? Well... I've been thinking about beautiful trans femmes lately and so, they were on my mind, and here they are!!

Also, reference work for ToT Owen, if anyone is interested in seeing them in full!

after all this time, we finally get to see Owen and Louis together :)))

Great dialogue can come from radical emotional honesty. But in most real conversations, people

dodge questions

answer indirectly

lie (badly)

change the subject

crack jokes to avoid serious answers

lie (convincingly)

say half of what they mean

tell the truth but get so anxious/angry/defensive others now think they're lying

If your dialogue feels unnatural, it might be because everyone is saying exactly what they think, or articulating their thoughts too well. Try letting characters hide things instead.

people don’t always speak in full sentences,

slang can change depending on age range, demographic, etc. &

Softlaunching my lovebitten shipping ✌️

Forgot to post this here yesterday

@nonbeanie-writes POV: You’re fucking dying

Timelapse under the cut :D

Full V! Scott Goldsmith.

Seriously, he took up the whole came as wide as I could get it.

Drew vaguely affectionate vampires copperduo in the Dead Wood to cheer myself up and hopefully get into gear to finish more of the Vampires cast before Pantheon SMP starts.

Yes, V!Scott got a new fit, he's not going to only wear one thing in his wardrobe.

Also some wips I haven't posted here yet.

Scott Goldsmith Afterlife × Vampires Edition (I could yap about this one)

Shubbledrift playing billiards at Ren's pub (if things had taken a more peaceful and pragmatic turn)

And V!Scott can just pop bats out of his skin and whisper what they hear back to him, (particularly disobedient fledglings.)

if anyone decides to harass you for your past works or any you choose to make in the future, they're a waste of space on the internet. genuinely wish the ccs had thought this through and maybe communicated a little more ("hey pyro instead of me asking you to maybe stop flirting with your friends on stream because it makes me uncomfortable, let's frame this as the fandom's fault for interpreting the subtext/explicit text of your character work!"), because this is affecting so many fans who do not deserve to feel invalidated and in danger

you have people there for you if you get overwhelmed, and i hope you keep creating when you feel ready <3

(sincere apologies if anything i said sounded poor, i am exhausted lol)

It is strange to me, that fans so easily accept being told what they can and can’t create in fan spaces.

The right to create fanfic was something that fans had to fight hard for. The right to create works that wasn’t Brand Approved. If the creators of any other fandom tried to police what fan works were created, they would either be flat out ignored or there would be riots.

Fandom is our house. We have been living here for much longer than these CCs have been online. Fandom etiquette, the rules of fandom, have existed longer than their fandoms have.

If they want to be here, that’s unusual, but that’s okay. Fandom is welcome to anyone. But they don’t seem to want to be here, just like anyone else. They act like the rules don’t apply to them, or worse, that they make the rules like it’s their house.

And we shouldn’t let them. Please, please, listen to me. This is not just about shipping. This is about not allowing this to become the accepted new normal.

Because if we accept that it’s okay a creator can ban all fanworks of their character being in romantic relationships, what else will we accept? Think about what other kinds of content have been and still are being banned in certain libraries around the world.

SURVEY LINK

During my time in mcyt fandom, I've watched as the fandom's perception of creator boundaries has grown and shifted into a cornerstone of our fandom, and yet we don't actually have any good data on how the fandom as a whole perceives them outside of discourse posts.

The goal of this unofficial study NOT to make a value judgement on whether creator boundaries should be respected - it is to understand how the fandom currently perceives and interacts with them.* Is respecting creator boundaries important to you? Has your favorite creator made a boundary list or spoken about it on stream? Do you find some boundaries acceptable and others not? Have you ever been the target of hate for engaging with boundary-breaking content? Whether you think boundaries should always be respected or you think they're being used as tools of censorship, I want to hear from you. What are boundaries, and why do they matter so much to us?

This survey is a mix of multiple choice and optional long-response questions. It should take about 15 minutes if you’re only doing the required questions, and much longer if you choose to answer the optional questions.**

If you are able, please reblog and share this survey link around. Feel free to post it on any platform, as I am currently only on Tumblr, which is not representative of the fandom as a whole. In fact, I’d love it if it reached Twitter. The more responses, the more accurate the results will be for the whole of mcyt.*** Anyone in mcyt spaces, including creators, are welcome to take the survey to share their thoughts. However, I ask that for the comfort of content creators and the spirit of good fandom etiquete, please do not directly share the survey with any creator or post the link in any creators’ official communities. Thoughtful discussion is always valued over reactionary comments.

The survey is set to close at 11:59pm EST on August 1, 2026 - I may extend this date if there is still a high volume of responses coming in, or if there aren’t enough responses yet for meaningful data. I will aim to publish the results within a month of the survey’s close, and keep you updated on the timeline if that’s not feasible for any reason.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped beta this survey- you all gave such wonderful suggestions! I wish I could’ve kept every question, but in the end a lot needed to be cut to make this manageable. Please know that I appreciate every one of you, as this survey would not exist today without you.

* Why I think this data is important to collect: The idea for this survey came to me almost a year ago, and I started developing it around February of this year. I’ve spoken with dozens of people about this topic with diverse opinions, read and catalogued hundreds of tumblr posts, rewatched streams and videos by creators and fans, and watched as opinions have shifted across fandoms in real time. I feel extremely confident in saying that every person on every side cares deeply about respecting others and creating safe, welcoming communities in all mcyt spaces. Where they differ is on how to show that respect, which kinds of expectations they think are reasonable in different spaces, and beliefs on how those in power should be using their influence. I don’t expect this survey’s results to fundamentally change anything - this debate has been going on longer than mcyt has existed. But I think it’s still important to analyze the actual arguments people are making and how they affect our communities, instead of focusing on expected behavior from others based on our own values, so we can see the varying expressions of humanity in each other and work towards a better future for our fandom. I don’t think we’re as different as the discourse may have us believe.

** This survey is designed to encourage all participants to think critically about their position and the effects it has. I am aware that I have my own personal biases, so I have taken steps to ensure that the survey is as bipartisan as possible and also gives participants the opportunity to explain their answers for every question if they feel the need. Because of this, there may be questions that make some participants uncomfortable. While I would appreciate knowing why a question has made someone uncomfortable, participants are always free to skip such long-response questions.
