#CharminglyProBelos an event by and for Belos fans!

Welcome to the #CharminglyProBelos event! An all year round event for the TOH fandom and more specifically Belos fans. What is this event you may ask: A hastag for Belos fans to let loose and post as they want, post all the dark topics you can think off, do you want to post about Empgold? Bellector, Philuz or Belos horribly torturing someone? This is the event for you! Any and all Belos art is welcome regardless of subject or content. Some examples of what is allowed: Any and all ship content, doesn't matter what the ship is violence gore murder any and all dark or what is deemed problematic themes pretty much good Belos stuff (reformed aus, good uncle aus you name it) edits videos crafts nothing is off the table, go buck wild! Why is this event?: Sadly many fans for some reason do not understand that liking a fictional villain does not mean you agree or condone with their actions or want to see it happen in real life. This goes for fiction in general, there are many bad things in fiction, murder, torture, people being violently punched to a bloody pulp, drugs, alcohol you name it. However just because people enjoy dark themes in fiction does not mean they think this is okay in real life. We do not stand or tollerate any kind of harassment, bullying doxxing or sending death threats. This behaviour is not okay not even from other Belos fans, please do notify me of such behaviour if it does happen, there is an alternative hashtag for only clean Belos content so if people don't want to see the nittygritty then that hashtag is for them. Rules, yes there are a few: - Please make sure anything is in line with Tumblr's/Twitter's Guidelines, as much as I'm not a fan of it myself but it can't be helped. We don't want anyone to get their socials nuked, for those seeking to really post the hard stuff, Bluesky, Aethy and Baraag are places to do that. If anyone else knows other sites then let me know so I can add them. - Please tag everything accordingly! Do not censor trigger warnings, this isn't tiktok, censoring things isn't going to get filtered out so if your work includes gore please make sure to tag it for that, does it contain blood? tag it for blood, violence? tag it for violence etc etc. I could be mistaken so please do correct me on what is the most preffered/used tag for content/trigger warnings! - Do NOT use this hastag to spread hate or negativity, if you don't like problematic content, or don't like Belos that's fine. Just block this tag and if you see someone posting in the wrong tag just point them to this tag. - If you are an anti or anti supporter, do not interact with this tag at all, you don't like ANY problematic (including but not limited to: gore, murder, violence, etc) content that's fine, this is not for you. Again there is an alternative hastag for only strictly unproblematic Belos content use that one if dark themes aren't your thing. Remember: Liking villains isn't a crime, liking dark fiction isn't a crime, liking dark themes isn't a crime. You are not a bad person for enjoying any of this regardless if it's to cope or just to explore taboo topics, this is a safe space.

I will gladly help you with hashtags for this new event. Here are a few hashtags that accurately and clearly show support for Belos proships while being distinct from #BelosFansTakeover:

#ProshipBelosUnite

#BelosProshipSolidarity

#CharminglyProBelos

#BelosProshipCoven

Let me know if you’d like me to workshop a few more.

—————————

I'm going to say this, and this is going to sound mean, but I'm saying it as someone who has also been harassed, has depression and anxiety, and also runs a server: having anxiety is not a valid excuse in this situation. When you run a server, you NEED to be able to approach conflict to shut it down. If your friend cannot do that to keep their server running as smoothly as possible, then they need to pass ownership to someone trusted who CAN handle that type of pressure. There is no reason why Talis should still be allowed in the server if the owner is made THAT uncomfortable by them. It is their JOB as the owner of the server to determine which people they want in their community.

As far as the tweet and everything goes, I have been told by several people what happened and I believe that that is a conversation best had between Talis and the server owner. Without the ability to see the actual tweet in question, it's impossible for this to be handled by third parties in a way that is fair and represents the entire situation. I will say this: my server doesn't allow for harassment or doxxing. It is one of the first rules. If I thought that Talis was guilty of breaking that rule while in my server, I would take appropriate action. I have seen no evidence sufficient enough to warrant such action.

Also, I would like to take the time to discuss the other thing you mentioned because I am genuinely flabbergasted:

I would like to reiterate that my server supports proshipping in the sense that we believe you have a fundamental right to ship, and welcome proshippers into the server, but we don't allow comshipping content in the server because it's against the rules. I also consider the HC of Belos SAing Hunter the same as a comship. I don't allow people to talk about that headcanon in my server, even if people who have that headcanon are still allowed in my server. I'm not sure where you got the idea of “rules for thee and not for me.”

For the first-ever #BelosFansTakeover, “no proshipping” wasn't specified simply because we didn't expect proshippers to post Beluz and Empgold artwork using the #BelosFansTakeover tag. Once we realized that this was something we were going to have to specify, Talis put down that boundary. Plain and simple. And because Hunter/Belos SA is considered comshipping, that's included by saying “no Empgold,” so I really don't know where you're getting the idea that Empgold isn't allowed, but Hunter being SA’d by Belos? 👌 perfectly fine. That's not how it works.

Also, just so we’re clear. We’re not saying that proshippers can't interact with the tag at all, after all, the more participating, the merrier, we’re just saying to not post comship art using the tag. I am a firm believer that just because a creator posts things about fictional characters that I don't like, that doesn't mean I can't interact with and share the posts from them I DO like—I've liked posts from you before, and even if this tiff means there is some bad blood between us now, I will probably still like posts from you in the future when I stumble upon them, and I hope you'll offer me the same respect—If anyone from your servers posts Belos fanart that isn't comship art with the #BelosFansTakeover tag, I will gladly like and reblog all the same. All we ask is that you keep comship art separate in this event.

A little birdie told me about another #BelosFansTakeover event to celebrate For the Future's air date, but the post was made by an anti. the anti stated "No com/proship allowed" hm, well that is just silly, you don't get to dictate what people can or can't post :D So! My fellow Belos fans! Let us post all the beluz,empgold, bellector, wittecest and whatever else comes to mind, these ships are just as valid and are allowed to exist regardless of what antis say. It's about having fun, so lets!
