Hey, babies! How we doin'?

[quickreaver]

I know, I know, I've been MIA at LJ for ages now, but what with the climate on twitter getting so outrageously toxic and aggressive towards anyone who comes within 20 miles of a taboo ship or kink or, yanno, thought, I'm gonna try to be more participatory back here again in these, our last few months of SPN. Wild, that, huh? Hope you're all

The artwork is gorgeous! It's so good to see you back here posting! 😊

I got wooed by the instant gratification of twitter for a while, I won't lie, but that place is a frickin' playground for the young and wanky right now. I can't handle it anymore. So here I come crawling back! *distant smish*

Hey, nice to see you here!

I see the children are acting out again. Each wave of fandom babies think they invented outrage. *smh* I've been on the edges, been smack dab in the middle, and I have to say, my favorite spot when it comes to this shit is waaaaaaaaaaaay in the back under the bleachers. I guess some people are going to take their fear and uncertainty and make weapons of them.

The art is absolutely stunning, as always. You are fabulous. :)

It's absolutely horrifying to me right now. I mean, as a fairly peripheral Wincest shipper, I was always looking over my shoulder anyways but this new generation has the wherewithal and inclination to doxx people. They will tell your parents, your employers, whomever they can get their grubby little fingers on, because they don't have the wisdom or experience to understand nuance. They just want to fight for something that generically seems "right" but they can't extrapolate from there. At all. They cannot fathom the amount of actual damage they're doing, and it's really daunting

Yeah...it's sad that quite a bit of this seems hinged on one ship popping up that appeared to be a solution for some desperate shippers who couldn't bring themselves to ship wincest. I understand that--from the outside I looked at wincest and was somewhat surprised too, but I got over it quickly, seeing as how I came from a fandom where non-con incest was a pretty common trope. But with the "solution" ship, and the dissolving of the fourth wall, like you say, came a lot of crap. SpN has always been an eat-your-own fandom, though people seem to have forgotten, but yes, twitter seemed to have stepped up and fine-tuned a truly shitty kind of behavior.

I'm not sure there ISN'T a fandom that doesn't at some point eat their own. Except maybe the Hannibal fandom? WHICH, IRONY. :D :D :D

Nice to see you again! I left twitter a few years back to escape the toxic feels I kept getting (Facebook too). I have never been happier.

The art is atunning! I absolutely love it.

Yeah, little moral chest beaters do not understand reading tags or using the back button. I have had my share of haters. I ignore them. I have to or I would quit writing like I quit art.

[quickreaver]

I'm so sad to hear you quit art over them! But I'm hella glad you kept writing and you've figured a way to navigate these wild virtual waters. Thanks so much!
