Tea's Trash Hub

ADHD is a disability. I know this. Nobody else around me does. When I say I can't do something, I don't need tips, I don't need encouragement, I need you to believe me. I need just one person to believe that I'm not lying when I say I am unable to do something because of my literal developmental disability. No more "just push through", no more "try harder", no more "I did it and you can too", because I am absolutely sure that in this moment I am unable to fucking do it! Please believe me for once. Please.

Wife and me waiting for Wildstar private servers like…

mortal form for my blue dragon!

Wow players during Shadowlands: this is bullshit the game is dead I'm leaving

A rare personal art 👀 My blood elf Monk, Tallorael Riversong!

She swallowed a water elemental as a child when she almost drowned, so now she can only use Frost magic. Which she’s against using for violence. So she’s a healer… who also punches when needed. She was training to be a frost mage but hated it. Tal eventually found herself in Pandaria and trained in Mistweaving - all the self-control/chi balance stuff helped with controlling the elemental as well. Though it wasn’t until she met Saedryn (her Vrykul gf) and got her elemental binding tattoos that it was solidly under control.

I had thought it’d be really creepy-cool for her face to leak water whenever the elemental’s acting up but then I saw Swiss Army Man and that kind of ruined the illusion for me 🤣 The tears can stay though.

So I have read several people complaining that they can’t be expected to know the “unwritten rules” of fandom. So here’s what I wish people knew:

Fanfiction is fiction.

Fictional people are not real.

Fictional people do not have rights.

Fictional people cannot be abused.

Reading or writing about something does not mean the desire to do or support it in the real world.

If I find art upsetting/triggering/disgusting/outraging/unpleasant/squicky/distressing/offensive, it is on me not to read it, not the creators and hosts to remove it.

Curate your own experience. The back buttons exist for a reason.

If you don’t trust yourself to do that, get someone you trust to do it for you.

Fandom is an adult space. Adults create and own and host fandom spaces. If minors want to participate, then the onus is on them and their parents/guardians/trusted adults to ensure they participate appropriately, not on strange adults to stop being adults.

You often don’t know the assault status or mental health status or neurotype or race or nationality or religion or gender or sexuality or age of a creator or consumer, and they do not have to disclose to you to justify their fantasy.

AO3 is not a safe space. It is not intended to be a safe space. Proceed accordingly.

Just because you don’t like something or find it offensive doesn’t mean it is a “problem” that “has to be dealt with”.

Most characters in anime are not white.

There is no onus on you to reblog or share anything.

Everyone makes mistakes in fandom and is less than their best self sometimes.

Persistent pseudonyms encourage long term relationships.

Ship wars are stupid.

Someone else enjoying things does not impact on your own enjoyment of other things.

Tagging and warning is a courtesy, not a requirement. Assume any fic might contain untagged content.

Rating is an imprecise art, not a science.

Don’t hassle IP creators.

Most people who are in fandom are hoping to make connections based on a shared passion.

Trying to profit from transformative fanworks puts us all at risk.

No one is obligated to share your head canon or fanon.

Being kind rarely fails to pay off.

It is okay to block and remove people who make your experience unpleasant. You don’t have to placate them. (Learn from my mistakes).

Britpicking is a good thing.

You don’t have to justify why you like a canon/pairing/trope/kink. Sometimes navel gazing is fun, but you don’t have an obligation to explain yourself, especially to strangers. I share the overwhelming desire to refute an unfair accusation, but the people accusing you are rarely doing so in good faith, so you’re batting a losing wicket.

I’m not your Mum. (Well, okay, a very few of you can call me Mum or Mom, but if you are one of them you already know who you are ❤️)

If you aren’t mature enough to take responsibility for your online experiences, you aren’t mature enough to be in fandom spaces.

This.

if you’re neurodivergent and have a special interest/hyperfixation that ISN’T anime or games, reblog and put in the tags what it is!

Chromie!

I’m trying to open for Live2d commissions!

I seriously love this program and want to learn more, so these are experimental commissions that would be a little cheaper than standard and have a lot of client input.

You would get: ¾ head rotation in all directions, eye tracking, mouth open/close, hair and clothes physics, idle animation. I’m still learning expressions and animations.

If you or anyone you know wants a simple model (full body chibi like the example or bust) for streaming/DnD/youtube content creation, please email me at HemlockeArt@gmail.com!
