As Garnet from Steven Universe once said
"Your soulmate is your compliment, not your missing piece"
honestly i am so tired of people saying they're "looking for their other half" because it implies that you're not whole if you're single. so this is your reminder that you don't have to be in any kind of relationship to be happy or have a fulfilling life !!

marcy, also peering over sasha’s shoulder: “yeah but like fuck the HOA, right?”
anne, giving her a Look: “not with how much their dumb fines are, marbles”
sasha, looking up at them both like 🥺: “ok but like, a dinner party. a dinner party should be fine right. we’re adults we can be classy”
marcy: “yeah anne 🥺 we can be classy 🥺🥺🥺”

Zine: Aromantic Fictional Characters 💚🤍🖤
Happy aromantic spectrum awareness week!
This time I made a zine with some of the aromantic fictional characters I know. Some of them were only confirmed by their creators or the actors who played them but I still think it is nice to know that we can see them or read them and relate to their experiences. Representation is so important and looking at the experiences of these characters made me feel so seen and valid.
I don’t really know what to say, this is my first aro week and I already feel so much love and support, I’m happy with my identity and proud to be part of this lovely community. 💚✨

Honestly
Also, I wonder if people like that realize they are shooting their own foot by doing that
Because if other fans see that and they happen to want to publish a fanfic (or already do) that you might actually like, they'll be more likely to decide against it. People can be really critical about their work and thus worry it might get that treatment even if many readers really enjoy it.
Some fics might not be your cup of tea but other people (or even just the author) might like them and thats normal and a great thing about fandom. No need to be negative, whats the point of doing it?
Today I saw certain (I hope younger) fandom members doing a thing on twitter where they called out fandom-famous fics and saying how bad they are.
And, no. We don't do that. We aren't rude to each other like that. If we don't like a fic we move on and find one we do like. We do not go slagging it off on twitter to make ourselves look cool.
Authors, artists, video editors, gif makers: all of these people give huge amounts of their time to provide you with content for free. They don't owe anyone anything, and being cruel about what anyone makes is below us as a fandom.

This exactly
And this part: "the neglect was more from the writers than them as genuine character" - yes. There are a lot of things about her story where I choose to take that approach. Somewhere in my head there is a timeline where it all went a little differently cuz Marcy was honestly treated so unfairly by canon it hurts.
Ok but one thing that bothered me is Marcy’s relationship with the newts
Anne earns the frogs respect and becomes a hero.
Sasha proves her use to the toads, and while most of them leave, grime, Percy, and Braddock stay
Marcy does everything she can for the newts, and they forget about her the moment she gets stabbed.
Like what gives? Why are the newts so uncaring towards their hero? Some fans say that she spent so much time having adventures that she didn’t get to know them, but we know that isn’t true with how much she tries to befriend others(and even if she didn’t, certainly someone would have cared out of gratitude). So instead, it comes off as the newts being self serving jerks, and Marcy shouldn’t have even tried to help them.
Oh no no they didn’t forget about her!! Well they probably did for a bit but, after they decided to turn on the king, they then considered breaking her out JUST so the physically and emotionally scarred 13 year old could help them outsmart him. Not only did the thought of a rescue attempt only cross their minds for selfish reasons, but Yunan immediately tried to shoot the idea down. She wanted to abandon Marcy and leave her terribly injured in the hands of a “mad king” just because she overheard ONE mistake she made when she felt like her whole world was falling apart and wasn’t thinking.
I can see Marcy maybe not having a whole lot of personal conversations with Olivia or Yunan, but she was someone they knew — a CHILD at that — and had good experiences with. Yet they would’ve left her for dead if Olivia didn’t know Marcy once beat Andrias at a board game, meaning there was a chance she could outsmart him for them.
I do like Olivia and Yunan, honestly, and am deciding to think that the neglect was more from the writers rather than them as genuine characters, but it just makes me so sad cuz they could’ve cared a LITTLE BIT without affecting character arcs ;-;
As much as I love angst, Marcy deserves better than this shit that lowkey just makes the two newts just seem like bad people and doesn’t even serve the plot :<
Edit: WHOOPS I got so caught up in my rage that I didn’t even realize you meant the newts in general, not just two of the ones she personally knew XD. BUT UH I can sorta excuse everyone else (except like the Triple B ig) cuz she was up in a flying castle that only a handful of people had access to lol.
I don't need sleep, I need to talk about fiction. She/they 💚💙❤️ aspec (gomens | ofmd | su | amphibia | toh | tdp | hellaverse | atla | httyd | arcane)
