My grades are suffering and so are they

i don’t want to add to the discourse but as much as people wanna argue on here about ace Vik and all that shit it’s honestly been really nice seeing so much fanfic and smut that actually acknowledges disabled conditions and makes accommodations for them like usually disabled characters are cast aside or their disabilities are cast aside and smut is written with them completely fine or they’re just considered unfuckable and that they aren’t dating anyone or they’re labeled as ace (which is a big reason why i don’t like that headcanon for Vik personally i think the claim for the creator comes from an inherent place of homophobia and prejudice) so it’s been really cool to see so much representation and no one ignoring especially Vik’s disabilities but Jayce’s leg as well like yeah put your little gay ship in braces together and then they kiss and fuck nasty !!

*leaning into the microphone* “jackie was a shitty friend sometimes, she was insensitive and selfish, and ignoring these qualities in order to make shauna seem worse completely disregards the importance of jackie’s character”

Okay I HAVE to go on a little tangent here.

I am all for people having their head-canons or au’s. Genuinely in the works of fiction, I say fair game, especially when it comes to anything Harry Potter because I don’t care for jk Rowling due to a list of reasons. (this is to an extent. I don’t f with degenerate shit)

But there’s one thing that’s bothered me for YEARS. and it’s this singular mischaracterization of albus potter.

It is one of my biggest gripes and will always be; ‘albus would be the next dark lord if this-‘ or ‘albus would use dark magic-‘, NO HE WOULDN’T?? Can a boy not be mentally ill without being pinned as a murderer in the making? God forbid we get borderline up in here.

Genuinely, when did he ever show any sign of homicidal-ness? Yes, while the whole time turner saving Cedric Diggory thing was in ways self motivated, he was straight up trying to prevent a guy from dying. ‘He’d do it to spite Harry and his family-‘ girl, if you don’t get outta here. Oh I can totally see a bitter and petty adult albus, but I see him being bitter and petty and working a 9-5 and being a hermit. NOT being the newest dark wizard.

He’s just a highly insecure, introverted, angsty teenage boy. Under a lot of scrutiny. How do you expect the kid to act, honestly. He’s also a little dweeb (lovingly) and at the end of the day, if we surpass all the morals he obviously has and has been taught to him from birth, along with his compassion he shows, do you really think that kids going to want all that attention on him? NEGATIVE ATTENTION??

(Obviously, it’s never stated in canon that he’s mentally ill. But even if you don’t interpret him as such, you can’t deny he’s chock full of angst.)

As an asexual Good Omens fan

There's something I've noticed in this fandom that makes me really uncomfortable, and that is the way that Crowley and Aziraphale's possible asexuality is constantly being connected to and justified by them being not human.

I just honestly really hate that, because implying that asexuality is something that somehow "logically" follows from characters being nonhuman is ... not great. Like, I hate having to be the one to point this out, but asexuality is, in fact, very much a human attribute.

And unfortunately, most of the time when I come across this take, it doesn't feel like someone seeing themselves in the characters and relating to their experience, but rather an othering, this kind of otherwordly pure non-sexualness, where people put these characters above such trivial things like sexuality.

I am not asexual because I am somehow confounded by this oh so complicated human concept of sexuality, or because I don't ever think or care about sexuality at all (a lot of thinking was unfortunately involved actually before I finally came to a conclusion about my identity) it is just a fact of who I am, as a human being, it’s a part of my human experience.

And let's be honest, attributing asexuality to nonhuman characters is not the hot new take a lot of people seem to think it is — this trope has been around for ages. And it hasn't done a great deal to normalize asexuality. In fact I'd argue it's perpetuated an othering of ace people, but you take what you can get, really. (This is not to say that it is in any way wrong to identify with these kinds of characters, I definitely do, too! It's just sad that the topic of discussion is always about how "human" someone can be considered when they don't feel sexual or romantic attraction)

To be honest, I don't actually see A&C being asexual as canon — as a lot of people seemingly do — just because the author kind of suggested it in a tweet where he basically conflates "asexual" and "sexless" (for the record, this is not a dig at Neil, I just think the implications were kind of unfortunate, even if it might not have been intentional, which makes it all the more frustrating that a lot of fans just ran with it). And yeah, going around calling people aphobic for seeing the Ineffable Husbands as gay rep or any other identity, when they’re oh so obviously canonically ace, is honestly kind of insane.

I get that it might feel nice and tempting to be able to "claim" these characters and this relationship and being able to tell other fans off whose headcanons on their sexuality differ from your own because it is hard to come by any kind of representation when you're ace and there's finally a creator who's not only not contemptuous towards but even supportive of fans reading his characters as queer. And if you feel represented by A&C as it is then all the more power to you. But the thing is, it doesn't matter what kind of justifications there are or what canon might or might not say (bc when has that ever mattered in fandom spaces) or what the creator says, you cannot convert people to your opinion about a character, and you're going to have a bad time if you spend your time in fandom trying to do that.

And really, I am just wondering why we necessarily even need an explanation or justification for them possibly being asexual. Why does it have to be that all angels and demons are asexual by virtue of being nonhuman, and so A&C have to be too? why can't that just be an aspect of them that is completely unrelated to them not being human? Could these characters maybe not simply identify as asexual, not because they're nonhuman, but in spite of it? (btw, in the same vein it is equally stupid to argue that A&C can't be ace because they have "gone native", which is also an argument I've come across)

Honestly, I'm not even asking anyone to fundamentally change how they see these characters here — if you think they must be asexual solely because they're angels and have no concept of human sexuality, then whatever, I can't stop you and I don’t want to police anyone's headcanons bc as I said that's stupid and a waste of time. What I am asking you is that you maybe reflect a little bit on why exactly it is that humanity and sexuality are somehow so intrinsically linked in your mind to the point where you automatically use it as a way to distinguish between human and nonhuman characters.

Anyways.

Tldr: please stop equating asexuality with non-humanness thank you and good day.

Experimental Pen sketches with Rewrite n’ my attempt at an ReWrite Amy Design (Imma name her RoseBug)

I just think they’re neat

i’ve been scratching my head over the whole watcher situation. I’m not a fan myself but got dragged into it cus of the people I follow, i only watched their puppet history series and the buzzfeed unsolved series from way back- honestly, i couldn’t care less if they locked all their stuff behind a paywall. I’m so neutral on this whole thing, i might as well be swiss.

but i’m not neutral? In fact, the whole thing really bothers me and i couldn’t figure out why.

cus i get it, yanno. As a company that thrives on creativity, i understand you’d wanna cut yourself off the mega-capatalist-giant that is youtube to get rid of annoying restrictions, and asking monetary support from your audience so you can really stretch the limit of your creativity. I GET IT.

And it STILL bothers me!

And then I figured it out:

the whole “any future videos they’ll be making will EXCLUSIVELY be available through a streaming service you have to pay a monthly subscription for” comes less across as “please support us monetarily so we can grow as creators”, and comes more across as “if you want to continue being a fan, or even being a part of the audience, you’re gonna have to pay up. You have no choice in the matter. It’s either pay, or you’re not a ‘real’ fan or a ‘real’ part of our audience.”

THAT’S what’s bothering me about it. It feels like they’re gatekeeping who gets to be part of their community with money (that not everyone might have). And knowing where they come from and how they started…. That’s… extremely tone deaf. To put it gently.

What if I watch Star Trek and then never tell my father (or anyone probably) cause he sucks

I think that’s be funny honestly

Have clocked every one of Daniela’s petty passive aggressive backhanded moves aimed against Misha and JenMish. She didn’t dare actually mess with the jenmish panel too directly. But I have taken note every way she tried to minimize Misha and JenMish.

We got a very enjoyable JenMish panel in the end, JenMish wins, Daniela gets 0.

I’m tired of her, after all her behavior, but JenMish fans enjoying the heck out of the JenMish panel is a great way to push back.

You know honestly, you really have to appreciate all that goes into a Cookie Run design

They need to pick a food/ingredient to base the character off of, and then they have to find some association with either the food itself or something similar to it that they can draw parallels with, or inversely they need to find a food that matches the theme they’re going with. Then they have to find ways to incorporate the food into the actual design itself, as well as find some theme or culture to base their designs off of

Like for a random example, S’more Cookie and Cannoli Cookie. The theme of their update was camping, and s’mores are a typical camping food, and cannoli, while I don’t think it has an association with camping, looks a bit like a sleeping bag, which are essential camping gear

Or the Upper City Creme Republic Cookies, who generally all seem to be flavors with either fancy sounding European names, or something associated with a European country, like clotted cream or custard with England (I think), which ties into how, let’s face it, that Upper City colonized this region, and Europe (but mostly Western Europe) having a pretty notable history of colonization. And even the native Council members, Captain Caviar and Oyster, fit in with the upper class feel, with caviar being seen as a fancy food, and oysters, while I’m not sure the food connotations, are associated with pearls, a fancy gem

Or how Burning Spice and his forces are based on various spices, and they have an Indian inspiration due to India being pretty well known for their spices. Or Peach and Peach Blossom having Chinese inspiration due to the significance of peaches in Chinese mythology, as well as Peach taking inspiration from Sun Wukong, a prominent Chinese figure and someone who ate a bunch of peaches of immortality

And sometimes the ingredient doesn’t tie into the cultural/aesthetic inspiration for the character, like how European cheese seems to only have loose connection to Egypt, but they’ll still take care to make the inspirations clear, they’re not just generic, at least nowadays. I think, I might have been a bit unclear here

The characters may not all be a 100% unity between flavor and cultural inspiration, like Clotted Cream pretty much looks like a normal guy outside of his hair looking a little bit like cream, but it does work a lot of the time, and there’s still at least all that care going into the designs themselves

I can’t stop thinking about Brendan Blaber’s performance as Rouxls Kaard for the life of me—this is the Loop ISAT situation all over again jskjsksp. On top of that, there’s an animation on YouTube called “DELTARUNE 3D Animation: Rouxls Bad Day” and the song composed during the montage sequence has been engrained into my mind for the past couple weeks. I swear if my Puzzle fixation leads me into an unintended Deltarune fixation I’m going to snap, by all accounts this wasn’t meant to happen :’D Let’s hope this was just a spur of the moment character thing and I’ll bounce back to the TV fandom soon enough (I don’t wanna leave you guys)

not to get randomly vulnerable but it’s honestly really disheartening as a lesbian to see the covert vitriol and blatant disrespect towards lesbians in some parts of the cm fandom. please do not reblog my posts where i mention emily’s lesbianism to say she isn’t a lesbian. please do not call emily a lesbian and then in the same breath ship her with a man. the label has a meaning, and while emily is not a real person, lesbians will see what you’re saying, and lesbians do not like men!! it’s honestly deeply uncomfortable to know that my identify isn’t taken seriously by a portion of this fandom. it may just be a loose headcanon to you (& it’s not just that to me) but words do have meaning and i really don’t love how often i’m seeing things like this.

this isn’t meant to cause discourse or arguments, i just wanted to express how it’s made me feel because it’s been bothering me a lot. that being said, if this does not apply to you, i am not accusing you of it! i genuinely hate fandom arguments (so please do not take this as an attempt to start one) but my discomfort with this is bigger than that. i make it very clear on my account that i am a lesbian and that this is personal to me, so i’d really appreciate it if i could not be made to feel bad about that on my own blog. thank u <3

Merging the characterizations of epic the musical Poseidon and Percy Jackson Poseidon into one unholy being

Reminds me of a certain turtle I know COUGH Donnie COUGH COUGH HACK WHEEZE

I think that’s a big fandom takeaway on the topic.

My takeaway, wellllll, little more niche than that 🤔

God I genuinely don’t get why people hate Nightheart so much. Every reason they have is they’re actually just angry at the authors not at Nightheart lol. Like you’re allowed to hate whatever character u want but I just saw a comment saying the fandom should scalp every Nightheart fan alive and it’s like woah okay. Jesus he’s just a cat dude
