Okay I Made A Gigantic Mostly Chronological Collage Of A Bunch Of The Bado Faces Ive Drawn Over The Last

Okay I made a gigantic mostly chronological collage of a bunch of the Bado faces I’ve drawn over the last three years because it’s fun to look back and see how much they vary, like what changes and what stays the same, you know? What are some of your favorites? I’m curious to see how the various visual treatments are received by you guys compared to one another!

So let me get this straight

if you consciously decide to throw yourself down the stairs, and end up breaking your leg in the process, it’s clearly your fault

but somehow, if you know a certain type of fic will cause you mental harm, but consciously decide to read it anyway, it’s somehow the author’s fault?

take the most common arguments:

I wanted to know if it was as bad as the tags say - translated: I wanted to know if I’d really break a leg or or if I’d somehow miraculously float down 30 steps instead like a fucking miracle dove unburdened by sin 

It’s the author’s fault for writing it - translated: The person who designed the stairs is at fault for my decision to throw myself down them; clearly if they hadn’t made the stairs, I would have nowhere to hurt myself on purpose 

There was only one tag that might trigger me, but the content turned out to be much worse - translated: There was only one handrail so I assumed I could just hurl myself down thirty steps head first and everything would be fine

People should just write fics that are safe for me to read - translated: I’m an entitled asshole who will willingly break a leg on any set of stairs for no reason, so I want everyone to eliminate stairs and only use elevators

People who write these fics must be bad people - translated: People who build stairs are bad people; whenever I see a set, I will willingly hurl myself down them in order to break a leg, and then spend the rest of my life complaining about it  

oh shit i better not ship this, i would hate to disappoint strangers on ther internet.

The Truth About Fanfiction by Casey Lawrence

So you want to be a writer. Congratulations! That means you’re a writer. There’s no hard-and-fast rule about what makes a writer a writer. Maybe you write poetry, or blog posts, or novels, or infomercial scripts. Or maybe you write fanfiction.

A lot of people will tell you that fanfiction is not a legitimate form of writing. They’ll say that it’s “cheating,” because you draw inspiration from other people’s work. They’ll say it’s low class writing, because a lot of fanfiction is smutty (or, frankly, gay).

Well I’m here to tell you, fanfiction writers, that you have nothing to be ashamed of! Well, maybe you have other things to be ashamed of. But you should not be ashamed for writing fanfiction.

Fanfic is a gateway drug for many writers. It’s a way to explore ideas, practice writing, develop skills (like plotting, character development, continuity). It’s a place you can go to get instant feedback, boost your confidence, get critiques. It can help you form lasting relationships, from the beta readers to best friends.

Writing fanfiction is, for many writers, not only a stepping stone to writing original fiction (and doing well in the publishing world), but also a valuable experience and asset. Or, you know, fun.

FINALLY! My Binary Star Hero fanfic is complete! I mean, it's been complete for a long time, but it's finally fully posted!

Honestly, I'm thinking about writing an epilogue/after story for it. And then... I *kinda* want to maybe write a villian Ray AU fic because I'm not ready to give up my soggy caffine-addicted grunge boi yet. I have a 600k+word Attack on Titan longfic that I'm using BSH to avoid writing... Save me, Ray!
