How it feels when you realize you can just hate a ship for no reason

Every day I wake up and remind myself that no matter how sad and pathetic my life is at least I’m not a middle aged white fandom mom who thinks AO3 is the last bastion of queer expression and calls younger people puriteens and tries to lecture them on “fandom history” 🙏

I’m sure Potya is at least 3 years old because naming your pet Puma Tiger Scorpion is such a 12 years old kid thing to do.

Decided to make a transparent png of the photo I based this on. Do whatever you want with it, I’m releasing it into the world 🤲

Being bi means thinking both straight women AND straight men have awful taste.

What if I used demon Yuuri as my doll to dress up in all the slutty outfits I find.

Forgot to post this earlier but just pretend it's still June ✌️

(Animated gif, view on Wafrn!)
Suddenly remembered the wiggle stereoscopy technique and how much fun I used to have with it, I wanna make a lot of these :D

I love being a hater of horrible but somehow popular male characters <3

I like Yuuri a normal amount.

Big fan of YOI fanworks where Makkachin is still around no matter how many years into the future they are. Hell yeah take those creative liberties 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My one criticism of Yuri!!! On Ice is that the whole thing about Yuuri’s weight at the beginning (even if it’s two episodes or so) is so uncomfortable to watch, especially coming from an otherwise refreshing show where other forms of oppression like queerphobia don’t exist. Of course I’ve seen worse and this is nothing compared to other series, but it has two instances of characters forcibly removing part of his clothing to expose his stomach, something that’s visibly humiliating for him, and Viktor calling his body a pig’s body and calling him piggy not too long after declaring he’s gonna be his coach (I know he keeps referring to him as piggy after he loses weight and I’ve seen a few explanations that using baby animal names as terms of endearment is a Russian thing, but this is still a deliberate choice that the writers made) and Yurio also calling him a pig (again, I know Yurio keeps calling him a pig even after he loses weight probably because that’s just the way he is, but it’s still so awkward), and while I love them as characters and love Viktor and Yuuri together, again, that’s uncomfortable to watch. And of course the whole thing is treated as a joke because apparently fat people remain the last acceptable demography to openly and overtly humiliate and make fun of with little to no repercussion 😐
(Personally, I like to imagine that the characters quickly grew out of it, maybe it’s a way of coping but I don’t think that’d be too unrealistic in that show’s universe. I’ve seen a lot of fanworks of Viktor finding Yuuri’s off season tummy adorable and tbh I love it).

(This is and will always be one of my favorite series and it still brings me so much joy, I just think these things should be brought up and discussed).

(P.S. ppl who try to start shit on this post will catch a block, I’m not engaging with you so don’t bother, if you’ve never been called a fat pig yourself then good for you).

Dadbastian not in the classic parent-child dynamic way but in the way pet owners view themselves as their pets’ parents.

Do you know why verbs like rain can never back up a claim?

Because they have no arguments.

Viktor when a half naked cute Japanese guy gets shitfaced and grinds against him at a banquet

Checking the YOI tag and every now and then seeing the same kind of post from ppl who are watching it for the first time be like

Thought I should also post the longer explanation on why I include the "Please don’t comment things like “I miss them”, “Fuck Mappa”, etc" disclaimer in all my YOI art:

Some of y’all probably find it annoying and I don’t like doing it myself, but I felt it was necessary after getting a decent number of similar comments (mostly in Tumblr tags but it also happened during my short stay on Bluesky) and I think I should explain why a lot of us aren’t very happy with those kinds of comments.

I know it’s disappointing not to get a movie, a sequel or any kind of canon expansion of a work of fiction that makes us so happy and means so much to us. But someone else’s art/fanfic/etc is not the place to vent your sadness and/or your anger at an animation studio, especially if you don’t know if that person is okay with such comments.

It seems fandoms have become very consumerist nowadays, people devour a series as soon as it comes out, maybe engage with it for a short while and then move on as soon as there’s no more canon content to consume and consider it “dead” and talk about it as if it was lost media or something. The most common comment I get on my YOI art is “I miss them ):”, and I know it’s not your intention, but when you comment such things on someone else’s fan creation, you’re sending them the message that what they do doesn’t matter. I’ve even had one comment that was “I miss this fandom”. A comment about missing the fandom, on a piece of fanart made by a fan that belongs to the fandom, and is making fanart out of love for the series and sharing it with other fans that also belong to the fandom. Insert “Quit telling everyone I’m dead!” meme. Also all stories officially come to an end at some point, that doesn’t mean they’re gone, you can rewatch/reread them as many times as you want, the characters are still there.

Hmmm.

Can y'all imagine Viktuuri as parents? I’m honestly torn.

Like on one hand the thought of them doting over some kid is cute and I’ve read some super adorable and well written fanfics (whether canon-compliant or AUs) about parental Viktuuri and the impulse to give your OTP a fankid is always strong, not gonna lie. On the other hand, I don’t think a couple (whether fictional or real) needs a child to be complete. Besides, they come across to me as the kind of couple that values peace and quiet and being able to travel and do whatever they want on a whim and only want each other’s company, maybe they’ll keep getting dogs but that’s it. Maybe it’s because I’m childfree myself so I’m projecting, I don’t know.

Or maybe in the future they become mentors/parental figures to younger skaters, especially if they are also queer. The thought is appealing.

What do y'all think?

Hot take maybe but people who call all media that’s cute and wholesome “sanitized” are just as annoying as people who call all media that’s dark and edgy “problematic”, can’t y'all just say something’s not ur cup of tea like normal people?

Y'all… Clean Bandit's Symphony is SUCH a viktuuri song…

“Life was stringin’ me along, then you came and you cut me loose. Was solo, singin’ on my own, now I can’t find the key without you”, HELLO????

If you diss female characters in favor of gay ships but don’t put the same energy into shipping those female characters with other female characters then your problem is less lack of queer rep and more internalized misogyny me thinks 🥴
"Female characters are bland and boring", okay then make your own or flesh out the existing ones with headcanons, you already do that with mediocre men lmao.

“Why did no one tell me Yuri on Ice wasn’t about lesb-” KILLING YOU WITH MY LASER EYES

Looking in the mirror, pointing at own reflection with a stern look: You will NOT apologize for not posting art every day. You will NOT apologize for hyperfixating on one very specific thing. You will NOT apologize for being cringe or self-indulgent. You will NOT apologize for drawing original art and just art for yourself instead of fanart sometimes. You will NOT apologize for having no interest in popular series/ships/characters/etc that people think would look great in your style. You will NOT apologize for changing hyperfixations and not drawing what a lot of people had initially followed you for as much anymore. You are an ARTIST, not a “content creator”.

Probably preaching to the choir here but I can't believe there are still people commenting shit like “Kill it with fire!!1!” on every post of a bug or any “scary” creature they see. Like I cannot imagine how awful it must be to have a phobia, but having such a violent hateful reaction to any animal, as in wishing violent death on them or wanting to drive their species to extintion, is just not normal behavior. And that goes double for posts by someone who’s happy about the creature, I’m not asking anyone to go cuddle bugs just to mind their own business, people don’t want to hear how much someone hates something they like.

Things kept getting in the way in 2025 + I was really depressed but this year I'll do my best to work on that YOI space AU where Viktor and Yurio are half brothers and have mommy issues. Also that fantasy AU where Yuuri's a demon and Viktor an angel which I mainly made as an excuse to draw porn. Life's too short ✌️

The reason I always include a "Please don’t comment things like “I miss them”, “Fuck Mappa”, etc" disclaimer in my YOI art is that tbh it’s kinda sad to see those kinds of comments bc like YOI is right there man, I may have joined the fandom shortly before the official cancellation announcement but other talented fans have been keeping it alive before me.
Basically, don’t be a downer on my posts.

Rejoice! Makkachin will now live forever because all the characters have been frozen in time 😀

Y'all know I’m firmly on the “Viktor was Yuuri’s first everything” train but tbh I think it’d be fucking hilarious if Yuuri’s supposed past/secret love life was actually just a bunch of people (whether from college or whatever) who were head over heels for him but he was too oblivious/hyperfocused on his career and on Viktor/unaware of his own charms to notice anything so he ended up gaining a reputation as a heartbreaker without even knowing it 😭

Gonna make an album just for these kinda pictures.

Considering just making my own website instead of always relying on social media to back up my stuff. I've found some useful video tutorials and Neocities looks like a great option but if anyone has recs they're more than welcome O:

Not to be horny on main but give me ten seconds in a bedroom with this man and one of us will come out pregnant and it won’t be me.

More of his funny faces 🖤

Your regular reminder that suffering isn’t noble, take the painkillers 💙

Btw y’all can bet there’s gonna be sebagni in my dadbastian AU. Not the usual way people write it tho. I write this as a world where some demon species have no concept of romance, sexuality or intimate affection and their reproduction is a bizarre demonic version of cell division. However some of them, mainly those who have lived in the human world enough, might find humans (or other sentient creatures tbh) that they develop a special bond with and become close to, tho it’s a kind of bond that can’t be described with human language. So Sebastian just meets Agni and is like “he’s the one”, I call it a queerplatonic relationship because it’s the closest human term for it but if Seb tried to explain it we wouldn’t understand a word lol. But still sebagni nonetheless 😌

Tl; dr:

Throwback to when he was caught commiting baby crimes.

“Why don’t you make a separate blog for-” My blog is a bioactive terrarium and it needs as much biodiversity as possible, hope that helps 👍

This awesome ask I got once on Tumblr should be immortalized.

Maybe I’ll draw this one day, but imagine Sebastian carrying little Ciel (who’s fast asleep in the demon’s arms after a long play session) to his bedroom, while thinking to himself “I had never observed human younglings in such close proximity and for such long periods of time before, but I have to admit they do have an appeal. Of course, I assume this is an evolutionary development with the purpose of preservation of the species, as people are generally hardwired by nature to find young mammals adorable and thus are driven to protect and nurture them”.

He tucks the child under the blankets and, before assuming his borzoi form and jumping on the bed (something that has become a habit by now) he watches him for a while with curiosity. Still fast asleep, Ciel rolls on his side and curls up into a ball. Sebastian puts a hand over his mouth to muffle a chuckle.

“My goodness, he really is like a kitten”.

Gonna dump a bunch of notes about my Black Butler AU I wrote back in 2023, just to have a backup:

-Like a lot of canon-divergent Kuro ideas I have, this is set in an alternate reality where all kinds of supernatural creatures coexist with humans.

-One of them is demons, there are different subspecies and not all of them eat souls. There was a time where all demons were feared and any human who was suspected of being in good terms with one became the target of a witch hunt. By the late 18th century, however, things have changed a lot.

-There has been an agreement or “code of honor” between soul-eating demons (commonly called Voids) and humans for centuries. Voids need human souls to survive, they cannot sustain themselves with anything else (it’s very rare for a demon to starve to death but they do become weak and vulnerable). Some of them are opportunists who roam in search of dying humans whose souls they can snatch before a reaper arrives. While others are more patient and prefer to cultivate a soul by forming a contract with someone who wishes to. Having your soul eaten is not the horrifying fate you may think it is: there’s no eternal torment, no hell, nothing. Just going to sleep never to wake up and becoming one with the demon. People accept this as another aspect of life. However, there’s one thing that’s unacceptable and it’s demons (unjustifiably) killing humans just for their souls, any demon who does this is considered a feral beast and will be hunted down (there are some methods to kill a demon for good). Even other demons look down on these individuals.

-The longer a human lives the more “nutritious” their soul is. Some Voids will form a contract with a human and serve them through all their life, and when it’s their time to go the person will willingly feed themself to the demon. Other demons even become familiars and stay in the same family for generations, swearing loyalty to the next person in line after they have absorbed their relative’s soul. People consider this an honor.

-Sebastian is a very refined demon who only consumes the highest quality souls after fulfilling a contract. The day RCiel is sacrificed is the first time someone actively summons him, as all this time he met all his contractees by chance. He eats the human sacrifice’s soul because why not, there’s a first time for everything. However, when he takes a look at all the cultists gathered excitedly looking at him he feels nothing but contempt and disgust, and slaughters them without second thought and without bothering to take their souls. They have the distinctive stench of someone who has done unspeakable things to an individual of their own species, especially to a youngling, and not even demons find these souls appetizing. So nobody would dare to judge him for disposing of them. After the fun bloodbath he senses a tiny presence nearby, and locates it in a cage in the center of the room. A small, frail human lays there, apparently dead, though he still feels their soul flickering inside. Upon closer inspection he notices it’s a young child that looks exactly like the owner of the soul he just devoured. “Ah, twins. How sad”. It doesn’t seem like this child will make it, but waiting until he finally dies goes against his aesthetic, and for some reason he can’t bring himself to either end his misery or leave him there. So he takes the unconscious child out of there, craddling him in his very demon essence, and just keeps him, like a person who has found a wet, dirty, barely alive tiny animal on the side of the road. Besides, if he manages to save the child and he goes on to live, they might make a contract and then he can claim his soul in the end. It could be a fun experiment right?

-From OCiel’s POV, the story starts off very similar to in canon: he still gets horribly tortured and abused. But since in this AU it all happens when he’s younger, his small body can’t take much and eventually he gets so sick and weak that he can’t even stand, and the cultists just leave him to die in the cage while they focus on the stronger RCiel. The day of the sacrifice he keeps slipping in and out of consciousness and can’t fully register or process what’s going on. Unable to tell dreams from reality, he suddenly feels a warm, almost velvety cloak that surrounds him. It’s very comforting and he clings to it with the little strength he has left.

Suddenly remembered how when Buddy Daddies first came out a lot of ppl hated Misaki's guts and thought she was just as bad as Miri's bio dad, I think things have calmed down but back then it really rubbed me the wrong way.

I’ll be honest, I really liked her. Like yes, sending such a young child away on her own with absolutely no supervision was horribly irresponsible. But I just loved how flawed and realistically human she was and I honestly want to see more of this type of character in media. Especially in anime, maybe I just haven’t seen a lot but I feel like we often see either parents who are super loving and caring or awfully abusive, we don’t see a lot of parents that are just trapped in a life they don’t want and tired of holding a facade (it looks like Misaki never abused Miri or even showed her unhappiness around her even though she was on the verge of snapping any minute).

Idk maybe I just sympathised with her because I neither want nor like children and I know I’d hate my life and resent the kid if I was ever forced or coerced into the role of a caretaker, but apparently it was too much asking to have some nuance. It blows my mind that so many ppl thought a trapped, unhappy, desperate abuse victim was on the same level as a human trafficker. I’ve seen some ppl bring up abortion or adoption and I know they had good intentions but afaik the situation isn't as simple in Japan.

I’ve also seen a lot of ppl comment that they wanted Misaki to “work on her issues so that she and Miri could be together again” and all I ask is: why? Why is that necessary? Why is there such a pervasive idea that children are always better off with their mothers? I sincerely think a happy ending would've been for her to get help and get better but NOT get the kid back and I was rlly hoping the writers would go that route, it would've been very refreshing. I wanted the message to be “Not everyone is fit to be a parent and especially not every woman is fit to be a caretaker and there’s more than one type of family”.

And I'm sad that she was killed off but I see why they made the choices they made and they make a lot of sense given the context of the story. I personally don’t have any complaints about the writing but I think Misaki deserved better. I’m sad she died but I understand why it happened, I suppose with her arc going that route it wouldn’t have made sense for her to survive in a show where nobody’s safe from violent criminals who are willing to murder women and children to get them out of their way. Still, I don’t think she needed a big change of heart, I think she was already a great character as she was (it also rubbed me the wrong way that some people started viewing her as a good person only once she started making an effort to do things right but I digress).

I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the “unwilling parent learns to love their kid and learns to be a good parent so that they can finally be a happy family” narrative. It just doesn’t sit right with me, maybe I’m reading too much into it but the message I get from these kind of stories is that anyone can be a good parent/caretaker with enough help and resources and in the right place mentally and emotionally (ESPECIALLY because that’s an argument people use in real life for why they think everyone should have kids, or hell, even as an anti abortion argument; like that’s not an exaggeration, I’ve seen them saying pretty much the exact same thing), when the sad reality is that sometimes kids are just unwanted. I sincerely wish the show had acknowledged that some people just don’t want to be parents even when they already are, I know it’s not pretty but these things need to be talked about in fiction.

I also think it would’ve fit the story perfectly: we would’ve had an example of horrible abusive parents (Rei’s father), amazing loving parents (Rei and Kazuki themselves) and parents who do their best but would still rather be doing anything else (Misaki herself). Maybe I’m biased, I don’t know, but I’m really starved for this kind of content. As a friend of mine as well as a few other people have said, we need more situations like in Matilda, where the bio parents admit they aren’t fit for the role and happily sign away their parental rights.

(Granted that if Misaki hadn’t popped back into Miri’s life she wouldn’t have died like that, as she got targeted precisely because she was with Miri, that’s why I say I understand why the writers made the choices they made).

I also wish they hadn’t given her cancer if they were going to kill her off anyway, give the poor woman a break lol.

Question from someone who only occasionally photographs as a hobby, wouldn't all photos count as digital photography, or what is the distinction? Genuinely curious

Hi and sorry for the late reply, I think Wafrn was glitching because every time I tried to check my inbox it logged me out O:

I'm not sure if it's the general consensus, but I use the term "digital photography" to refer specifically to photos that I took with a digital camera, my phone and (very rarely) my tablet, ie photos that were created digitally and never left the digital realm, as opposed to photos taken with a film/analog camera that were developed and thus I own physically. However, if I want to post these online I'll have to scan and digitalize them so one could make the argument that they also count as digital photography in a way, besides photos taken with phone/digital camera/etc can be printed out so I'd also own them physically 😅 I guess it all comes down to what tool I used to take the photos first 🤔
Hope that helps!

By Talos this can’t be happening.

Gonna purchase that Material Thing™️ I always wanted I’m sure that’ll fill the void in my soul.

Please accept this humble shitpost I made in 2021.

Ngl I hate microblogging and character limits. Maybe I'm missing something but I just don't get the point of limiting how much a user can type in any social media (and yeah I know you can make threads and continue writing but that's just not for me). I love that people from Bluesky and other sites can follow my Wafrn account but I have to be careful not to exceed the character limit bc ppl from outside will only see a "View full post on Wafrn" message and I imagine they find it annoying (I had to delete and repost a post twice just now bc of that issue), but sometimes I just love rambling in the caption when I post art :/
