So this weekend I found myself chatting with an established comic writer, he asked me about my interest in the matter and I told him I ran a webcomic but before he could even respond I qualified it with;

“Well it’s a fan comic, I’m not a real comic creator.” He was appalled.

“What do you mean you’re not a real comic creator?” He demanded. “Do you have a comic?”

“Well yeah but its a fan comic its not a real-” He literally put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.

“You have a comic. You made a comic. You’re putting in the work. You’re a real comic creator.” He told me about how one of the people he works with on a comic started by writing Mass Effect fanfiction even. I’ve been thinking about that ever since.

I’ve thought about how many times I’ve heard myself and other say things like, “Oh, I’m a writer but I write fanfiction not like real writing.” And thats so bullshit, he was right. 

If you write you’re a writer, end of story.

To all the fanfic writers and artist out there…hear this!!! What you do is art and is real and you are important, loved, and appreciated. Don’t let any douchebag, dickwad tell you otherwise!!!

Hot take: every marvel/DC/etc. writer, writing for a pre-established character (like, most of them) is just advanced fanfic anyway.

It’s a minor pet peeve, but it is everywhere today so errrr…. please keep in mind that “Rest in Peace”/RIP literally comes from a latin phrase and is a very very deeply Christian expression.

When talking about the departed, Jews say “may their memory be a blessing.”

So please, when talking about a dead person who is Jewish, try to keep in mind that RIP is a Christian phrase.

I learned something today, so I’ll pass it on so someone else can learn too

Muslims say:

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Arabic: إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ‎)

“We belong to Allah and to Allah we shall return.”

like not to be too mogai but some of y’all really are mean to asexual people, polyamorous people, etc for no reason… jokes every now and then are one thing but people will really act like belonging to these groups makes someone inherently “problematic” when there are plenty of ace/polyam people who mind their business. and honestly just because these aren’t identities people are oppressed for doesn’t mean they don’t face discrimination for them in their personal lives. idk. just be kind.

this isn’t about stuff like “the grinch is, dare i say, asexual” or chris fleming’s polyamory video btw that’s jokes that’s whatever. but some of y’all will straight up vilify people for not wanting to have sex which is like. not something anyone should be subjected to and doesn’t become any less nasty just because you’re directing it towards asexual people specifically.
