'H2O: JUST ADD WATER'

[seapearlgoddess]

Autistic Headcanon

Cleo Sertori from H2O Just Add Water

1. She doesn’t like change

Out of the trio Cleo was the one most reluctant to accepting that she was a mermaid, and who can blame her? That’s a lot of tail to get used to.

2. She has a special interest in marine life

She works at a marine life institute and has shown her love for marine life multiple times. Also this scene in particular, dressing up as specifically a “Portuguese Man O’War” and then having to explain that it’s a kind of jellyfish, autistic mood.

3. She is often blunt in conversation

She says it like it is, and I love her for it.

“I know, I just don't handle hatred like you do, I mean I bet your use to it alot of people find you so-"

4. She has a strong sense of justice

Cleo has a strong sense of justice, even managing to get caught in a net because she was trying to save some turtles from getting caught.

5. She stims

Honorable mention:

This autistic mood, same girl.

“Sometimes I don’t even want to hang around me.”

I just want to say that, Camilla Fire Emblem, you will always be that girl, and the fandom never deserved you in the first place.

Honestly with everything I just posted, I don’t know why people are so surprised Camilla is so quick to violence and developed unhealthy coping mechanisms. When you are literally only born to be used a tool for a clout-chasing mother, can’t even enjoy a festival without family drama which basically ruins festivals for you and develops a fear of crowds within you, witness and experience violence, death, and loss at a young age, have an assassination attempt on you because you’re a princess, and have your batshit, crazy ass father and king threaten you and your siblings at random every fucking day, you are not going to be the healthiest person in the fucking room. She deserves to act a little crazy as a treat.

Me trying to convince myself charlotte is into cleo not lewis so her scenes are actually watchable

nuclear power is impressive until you get up to why. "we use the most precisely engineered machinery ever created to split atoms to release energy" oh yeah how come? "boil water to turn a fan" get the fuck out

You are not a bad person for having 'immoral thoughts'. Guilt helps nobody. You cannot do harm if nobody is hurt. Shed the notion of 'mental sin.'

Do well by people. Act with compassion and kindness. Improve lives. That is how you be a good person, not by 'purity of soul.'

Fandoms are dying because bullies constantly harass people. Instead of curating their experiences, they attack anyone with different tastes in fictional characters and ships than them. Bullies think they’re "morally" enjoying fandom, thus making them "superior" to everyone else, who deserve harassment for engaging "immorally" with fandom.

Fandoms are supposed to be exciting, chill spaces but are becoming stressful, radioactive waste dumps. Artists are leaving in droves and taking their works with them. Bullies are oblivious that this is their fault and believe their harassment is “acceptable” behavior, failing to recognize the blatant harm they’re causing. Eventually, they grow bored and move on to other fandoms, continuing to harass people and spread more misery.

Fandoms are supposed to be fun communities where people can share their ideas and art. Bullies have no place in them because all they do is bring negativity.

sure, what you do with fictional characters normally says absolutely nothing about who you are as a person, because it’s fiction and fiction is a great place to explore new ideas and dynamics. but i think there comes a point where it can say something about who you are, especially when you are expressing such violent hatred towards a morally bad or morally grey character who is actually a lot more complex and nuanced than everyone seems to think. there comes a point where it all becomes performative, like, “look at me!! look at how i fucking hate this awful character’s guts and want him dead, that makes me good, right??”

except it doesn’t. 

i won’t go into the topic of how morality is mostly a social construct and there’s really no “morally good” or “morally bad” but like…… some of y’all need to chill. seriously. and i feel like a lot of it just shows how little reading comprehension and media literacy these people have. they see a character do something they find morally reprehensible, and they immediately think that the character is 100% bad, inhuman, and deserves nothing more than the worst. it’s black and white thinking. they lack the concept of nuance. 

if you’re not old or mature enough to comprehend the subject matter and morals of a media’s story, don’t get into that media! don’t get into the fandom. or, at the very least, don’t go around playing morality police on a subject you are not mature enough to grasp yet. 

i miss when fandom was, y’know, for fans of something, instead of people just butting into spaces they’re not equipped for or don’t belong in just because it’s “trendy” at the moment.

on a less serious note though, i do find it funny that people get THIS heated and violent over fictional fucking characters. pixels. concepts. dolls used to tell a story. you do know they’re not real right??

People are allowed to make art you don’t like. People are allowed to make art you find disgusting, deplorable, and morally bankrupt. You don’t have to engage with that art, but you also don’t get to tell them not to make that art because it makes you personally uncomfortable. And you certainly don’t get to label people subhuman and deserving of violence for making art you don’t like. That’s it. End of story.

I will never be a content creator. The microscope those people live under is insane. It’s like nobody is ever allowed to mess up.

I was just reading this thread started by a leftist content creator asking people about a time when they felt let down by a creator they liked, and the comments were such a mixed bag. There was a lot of genuine criticism but then you’d also get comments like “ABC said this one kinda questionable thing one time, it shocked me so much and I lost all my respect for them. I couldn’t in good conscience keep supporting them after they had one questionable take.”

Fuck the alt-right pipeline and creators who never learn from their mistakes but progressives also need to stop being so fucking judgmental. People are going to mess up, you need to let them learn and grow instead of demanding perfection at all times.

"Wah, why aren't fandoms fun anymore?"

Because you keep policing people's headcanons, making fun of them and calling them horrible things, and on top of that, you're somehow claiming to be a safe space for people to express their creativity, yet turning around and harassing them anyways because you've made a billion exceptions to the "don't police people" rule and you think, like everyone else who's made their own exceptions, that your exceptions justify harassment.

So you're making fandom into a field of rat traps where nobody even dares interact with anyone, or shares art anymore, because you still might just attack them for it because they did something as simple as writing a canonically soft character as... a softie.

Let people do their "cringe" y/a romances, let people do their "gross" ships, let people write those characters as jerks or softies. Let them, and mean it when you say you'll let them, instead of soapboxing about it in a patronizing post but not really meaning what you're soapboxing about.
