Re: Pinterest (but also just generally speaking). I don’t get why people think the writers view ships the same way fans do. They are writing a cohesive intentional story, they aren’t setting out to write “plot + ships”. Relationships are a cog in the machine of the story for them. They are not fans. They don’t ship their own show, as Finn put it. No Duffer or otherwise is giggling and kicking their feet over M*leven fanart 💀 but M*leven dating was a big part of s3. If people are creating art based off of where the story was at at the time, as a creator of course you’re going to appreciate that love for your work?

The writers obviously don’t hate M*leven, that would be weird and again, shipper behaviour 😭 Mike and El were sweet kids, they’re puppy love if you will. Those young teen first relationship antics is what their s3 arc was meant to embody. It’s nostalgic and endearing for many, yes it’s also childish and immature and not built to last but that’s the point? It’s multifaceted and realistic. The Duffers see them as what they are: kids. Kids who are growing up and all the joy and confusion and ups and downs that come along with that. ST is about coming of age and s3 especially about coming into adolescence. This idea that Mike and El has to have been secretly intended as this completely fake, empty or even toxic dynamic with no nuance the entire time is just not in line with reality imo and isn’t necessary in order for Byler to be the end point. Mike can even realise he’s gay and those experiences with El still be formative and a meaningful part of his story, and his conception of romance at that point in his life.

TLDR the writers are not shippers, they don’t share our perspective nor the perspective of M*levens. I don’t think they see things as one-sidedly as the fandom does. They’re not writing ship fic they’re writing a complex story. That story at one point included Mike and El dating for the first time. It’s okay for them to acknowledge that and appreciate fan works it inspired at the time! That doesn’t take away from everything that has happened in canon post s3 and the direction they chose to take the story 👍 also if you want to laugh here’s one of the fanarts:

Super romantic. And of the post s4 arts there’s not a single M*leven in sight (but there is Byler holding hands 🙂). Also please read my original tags if you’re seeing this 🙏

. ..Just curious honey, what exactly *has* that tumblr user petitprincess1 been saying about radiodust, from the time that you've looked through her blog ? You can answer this ask privately if you want to/can/are concerned, but I've had that little annoyance blocked for years now and I think she (fucking *FINALLY!*) blocked me back, so I went searching through her tumblr in a private window with a popblocker to find the shit you were alluding to, but all all could find was fanarts for the ship in like, honestly varying quality ^^; (not surprising given the quality of her blog) and I got bored and and I gave up. ^^' But I just went into the radiodust tags and read a post implying people are being, like, attacked for shipping it now? (NOT saying exclusively by her, apparently just in general ...) BUT if she *DID* have a hand in being petty and attacking people! 👀 Like, I'm weak... I just want the tea and any hot gossip you can give me, if you please! ☕❤️🙏 X.O

Okay! I’m so, so sorry that this might turn into a whole multi-paragraph post, but thinking about my answer to this diverged into larger observations, so I’ll going to answer your questions first and you can dip when I start rambling. Also I hope this answer ends up being satisfactory, lol (and man do I wish I had ☕️ because I am that kind of Aquarius and I love hearing about messy shit I’m not involved in)

First off: I do not, personally, know her. However, I have heard from many, many people (independent of each other and always unprompted) that she’s an incredibly toxic person who runs hate campaigns against people with mildly different opinions or even simply different takes on Hellaverse canon. I’m not going to cast aspersions on her (again, I have no personal experience with her), but I’m always incredibly wary about people that I hear this kind of negative stuff about from this many different sources. (The comment I made about RadioDust regarding her feed was primarily that I can’t see 85% of it because I have RadioApple blocked as a tag and it’s a safe bet that someone who would apparently get mad about a headcanon of Anthony having albinism would probably not like me saying that)

As far as the RadioDust posts go, it’s become a ✨ thing ✨ to harass people who ship that in particular because it’s “not canon”. (I have a pet theory that it’s because RadioDust content was like 70% of what kept the fandom alive between the YouTube pilot and the Prime series) I’ve personally been called a child who doesn’t understand anything for shipping them by someone I don’t know, which is very funny to me, and I watched a RadioDust fan group on Facebook of all places repeatedly getting spammed with other ships (you probably know the ones) and pretty nasty messages. I couldn’t say whether this is happening to other ships, so I’m not trying to claim this is unique, but it absolutely is a problem that some of the more vocal/public shippers are facing. I’ve heard that she was one of the “they’re not canon and you’re bad for shipping them” people, but I don’t have proof of that, so I’m not going to claim it as fact.

If you’re wondering why I was talking about her in the first place if I don’t know her, it’s because I’ve heard so much about her being downright awful to other people, and this is where my tangent kind of starts. First, I do intend to fire back if she does start shit, but besides that, I’ve always found “well they’ve never done anything to ME so I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt” to be a shitty thing to say when you’re getting multiple sources talking about them.

I have an incredibly low tolerance for fandom drama. I mean, I’ve been in fandoms since ff.net launched. I have dealt with so many toxic fandoms over the years (fucking Naruto) and I just don’t fuck with that anymore. There’s a reason that, despite doing character and show analysis posts, I’ve never done one on one of the most popular ships in the fandom, and that’s because it would be unfavorable (because I find it to be built entirely on negative stereotypes and positive homophobia). I don’t want people to misconstrue an analysis as shaming people for liking the ship, so I’ve just stayed out of it to avoid creating drama.

Now, this fandom in particular does have an issue of small pockets of very vocal, hypocritical, toxic people. An example of this would be the people who will call others aphobic for depicting Alastor as anything other than a sex and romance-repulsed aroace (despite the fact that Viv said shipping him was fine, meaning he isn’t canonically repulsed), but don’t say shit to the people who still draw human Alastor white (despite the fact that he has been confirmed not just black, but specifically Creole). And while it is true that, yes, I don’t like fandom drama, I have absolutely zero problem getting involved when others refuse to just let people be fans if they aren’t “fandoming correctly”.

I don’t have a punchy closer for this, something that ties it together and makes it seem less like an old man yelling at clouds, but I do want to say I’m not looking to start a fight or for other people to do the same. Again, drama sucks, but I also won’t ignore claims of toxic behavior just because I personally haven’t suffered from it (I’m not trying to be that kind of man). I’m sure there are people who know a lot more than I do, though, it sounds like the people who’ve blocked her could form an entire support group over it.

👹Introductory Post‼️

👋Hello this is my tumblr, as you can see. I figured since I'm interacting with the website outside of quietly liking posts, I should talk a bit about myself for the people checking out my work.

🎉Idk how to do these things, but I'm 20 years old and I have ADHD (Which u might be able to tell by the amount I post within a short amount of time LOL), and I enjoy creating art in my free time outside of college + work anyways! I also don't mind any pronouns people wish to use with me, as I like to keep my gender identity private online.

🏎️ I too, have gotten inspired by the very epic Turbo/King Candy analysis video essay, as it has reinvigorated a love for this film I didn't expect to have! The movie has always been kind of a comfort for me, and nowadays something nostalgic, too! So, I hope to express all the silliness and joy it brings me through my silly art + memes💣☠️❌⚡

💘 On that note, expect shippy stuff!! I primarily ship Turbo/Felix (80's boyfriends, Hammertastic) but I also love Felix/Calhoun (Heroes Cuties) and I think the polyam stuff between the 3 (Girlboss, gaslight, gamejump) is cute!!

💀I might lean into darker themes at times!! because horror and angst is my lifeblood

✨Besides WIR, I have a few fixations.. that being FNAF, Outlast (my most favorite series of media of all time), MLP, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Uncharted, The first TLOU game, and Resident Evil.

❤️I intend to keep my other interests to separate blogs since some of it has more adult themes + I like being organized. ❤️ (Speaking of which, my alt where I post more sexual jokes in nature/ reference generally more adult or nsfw topics. MINORS DNI! Obvs https://www.tumblr.com/turbotastictwist)

🙏For my blog I would like to state that I prefer it remains politics-free + drama-free.

🚫 I also want to say that if you sexualize minors, even if fictional, please DNI. If you're a TERF, racist, or homophobic please DNI (Obvs lol)

👾PS. Always feel free to leave comments, and send asks to talk about art + Wreck It Ralph!!! (Dms are cool too, but only if you're 18+! I feel uncomfortable talking to minors privately)

🐢 I also really enjoy reading the tags you guys leave on my posts when reblogging!!

✨That's about it! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my creations!✨👹 🍉UPDATE! Please send me asks linking to your GoFundMe, as I will put them into the document here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JHhciuAr3FmtyYzcPcGHbzdgYbGjB9aIrcxsLS11Xak/edit?usp=sharing (Here's a link to my art tag so you can look at my stuff more conveniently! https://www.tumblr.com/turbotastictubular/tagged/my%20art
