Experience Tumblr like never before
one of my favorite subgenres of fan content is transing a guys gender just to make them share your period. peak comedy in my opinion
Hi, people of the internet.
As I was scrolling endlessly through my feed today, I realized things that have changed in this app and I thought I could make a point of it for the newcomers and see if my opinion was echoed here.
I've been using this app for several years, had various blogs starting when I was 13, on which I posted regularly, which marks 6 years now and lately I feel like people have gotten a lot more aggressive on here.
It's a secret to nobody that there's always some beefs between fandoms, but I always witnessed this more lightly here and way more heavily on TikTok or Instagram from examples. I thought that Tumblr was an app relatively safe for fandoms and what some would call "weird" fans and was a sort of continuation of what DeviantArt and fanfiction.net was for us before.
I was pretty surprised when I saw an account today made purposefully to insult a character and his fans, behaviours like this should be condemned. The hateful capitalist colonisation of apps made for certain demographics of people and especially fandoms is a disgusting thing. Should it be by AI "fancontent" or disheartening hateful posts, this should not be accepted. This is not accepted. People are not machines and they like whatever the fuck they chose to like as long as it doesn't touch the integrity of other people.
Easy: another creator likes something you find weird, but it doesn't affect you or doesn't concern you? Ignore it.
And it's the same kind of stupid shit happening with other social media fans asking for 'dislike' buttons on AO3. Fandom and fancontent is a gift which you can choose to ignore. Don't shame other people for it.
If you don't like 'weird people' with 'weird interests' and aesthetics, don't download apps full of 'weird people' with 'weird interests' and aesthetics.
Maybe I sound 100 years old right now, but I'm very disgusted to see that hateful behaviors are reaching yet another platform that I thought was a safe haven for fans, and especially for the younger ones of us trying to find a community in which they belong (referring to hate comments found under fury posts).
Anyways, Berry out.
hey spongebob i think your green ghostly friend decided to join the team
watch out squidward
Hey Squidward, do you still have your clarinet with you? Maybe you can play something to make Spongebob feel better :>
forgot to share a funny i did
(This can be for any of the characters) What do you NOT miss about Bikini Bottom?
To Squidward: what would your ideal home be like and how far away from SpongeBob would you want it lol
Hey Squidward, are you still playing the clarinet?
you can't ever get rid of the clarinet
Hey, SpongeBob! How sad was it for you to leave Bikini Bottom?
short answer: it was devastating.
thank you for the ask!
meet the Traveler Gang, since i don't have a more creative name for this:
in a not too far away future, the fish of Bikini Bottom start to slowly move out of town, and day after day, the city becomes more and more abandoned. follow the journey of SpongeBob and friends as they travel around the vast ocean, trying to find a new home. where will they go? why would they ever leave their life behind? what the kelp is going on?
well, if anyone wants to find out, i'll post short comics about their new day-to-day life, mainly in the format of an open ask.
as the "plot" progresses, more characters will become available for asks, so stay tuned for updates.
characters currently available for asks:
- SpongeBob
- Squidward
- Gary
- The French Narrator
- The Flying Dutchman
the replies and comics in general will take a while to be released. frequent posting shouldn't be expected. but i promise that every single ask makes me smile, and love goes into every panel!
replies can be drawn in both traditional or digital sketches. most will be unfinished.
concept artsy stuff:
Got any SpongeBob AUs? What are they?
glad that you've asked, because i got quite a few ideas:
my main projects are a Spongehenge centered AU, and a Dying For Pie AU
from my choice of episodes, it's obvious they're all gonna be a little darker than what this heartwarming show is used to. i'm not too big on wholesome content, haha
but don't worry. i might break the depressing mood by joining the Tumblr culture and creating an Ask for each AU. i also have ideas for shorter stories that will follow SpongeBob's lighthearted silliness.
..probably.
Our Alice; Chapter 1 - Fall little Iggy, Fall (click here to read this abomination)
Ello! Quick note, this is just the first part of Chapter 1. I had decided to split chapter 1 and future chapters into small parts, due to each of them being TOO RIDICOULOUSLY LONG.
