Normally, I just reblog this kind of thing with a note like, “not only do I read/write fanfic, I have an over-20 child who does the same.” But.
Who da hell do you think manages the Archive of Our Own? Who created it; who does the coding; who WENT TO CONGRESS three times to argue for our constitutionally-protected right to show Kirk boinking Spock?
Hint: it wasn’t people under 20.
Who do you think makes the content on AO3? Sure, lots of teens… but lots and lots and LOTS of not-teens. The OTW′s been around for almost 10 years - the people who put up the first content sure as hell weren’t 10 and under at the time. (Or is there the assumption that the teenagers of 10 years ago wandered away and are no longer participating in fic fandom?)
The more I think about it, the less I understand this kind of question. Do teenagers actually believe the people who manage fic archives like AO3 and fanfiction.net are not involved in fic fandom? That they do coding and deal with complaints and register the domain and all that, but don’t read any of the fic?
I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) - they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
I want to make more atmospheric art this year that isn’t a fully painted illustration. Problem is that I have no patience for super thin delicate linework. I’ve tried and its just not for me. So figuring out how to make it work without that is a challenge. This is just a quick experiment piece to try out some shading/lighting. It’s not perfect by any stretch but I did learn a lot about lighting certain shapes.
The amount of times I have looked at this in the past two hours and my heart has stopped… *sighs*
Mine was actually Voltron and Speed Racer, but I didn’t know they were from Japan for a while. Sailor Moon was the first series I knew was Japanese in origin.
The even older anime is Akira. And Bubblegum Crisis. And sort of Voltron I guess.
Reblog if you’re polyamorous/open to polyamory in the future/in a polycule or open to one/interested in polyamory
I want to see how many of us there are
And like if you think polyamory is okay, can be healthy, and doesn’t “go against human nature”
