Just found out CrazyTom had to stop making F&B/HotD art because crazy stans from a certain team were stalking/bullying her for drawing art of Team Green character's. To those stans, especially the ones who tried to weaponize accusations of racism against the artist, you're all rabid and need to learn some manners. Shipping Jaehaera with Aegon III, an actual canon marriage, is not racist.
Do you know what's really racist - a white women forcing her husband to leave under the subtle threat that if he didn't her uncle would kill him, to pave the way for their incestuous marriage (people who think it was consensual and he left of his own will, you truly have a brain rotted take, he literally had just sworn himself to Rhaenyra and promised to do better, loved his dragon and family and definitely didn't want to abandon them for his boytoy ESPECIALLY after his sister's death) and a white woman having a black man murdered so her bastard son could usurp a black family's seat.
Bring that same energy to Rhae-Rhae and then we'll talk. Oh wait. You won't because you don't actually care about the shows black character's, you were just salty that a talented artist depicted Team Green character's, even though she included the TB kids and did a lovely drawing of Daenaera. You rabid animals are the reason we can't have nice things, and the reason fandom has become so toxic. Like, imagine bullying someone for drawing fanart? Truly y'all have sunk to a new low. Watch yourselves. It's on sight.

yall want my hot take? I don't think gale would be a good dad. I think he would be good with and like kids but that's not the same as parenting. like. u know kids are generally really bad at things and kinda dumb compared to adults right? I think realistically having to stay quiet when a 3 year old was really really REALLY wrong about something would give him a stress induced ulcer skjrdkkddn

Actually, your answer makes a lot of sense, and has given me a new perspective on the issue of the #Problematic. Due to personal trauma, I've always been very wary of those who enjoy certain problematic media, because I assume that means they support it, which is clearly an assumption that I need to work on. Hadn't considered that I enjoy problematic stuff myself, and criticize it. Being aware of the problematic and not replicating that on Real Life is enough when dealing with fiction.
Anyway, thanks for a good dosis of self-awareness.
Yeah, it's a messy and complicated issue. Because I recognize that, for example, women who say "a guy who mentions on the first date that his favorite movies are Taxi Driver and American Psycho is sending up a red flag" are probably onto something. And I've had students tell me "the Joker from The Joker makes some really good points", and I've felt a prickling of discomfort at their words.
But. I love Fight Club. The movie is a darkly funny critique of the alienation of capitalist life. The book is a brilliant horror story, written by a gay man raised by a single mom who wanted to understand why "masculinity" is considered this fragile thing that must be defended with violence, as someone who was himself shut from qualifying for the precious "man card." I got hooked on horror from Fight Club, I've written imaginary-friend-as-boogeyman as a result of Fight Club, I cosplayed as Tyler Durden in high school, I drove an hour to see Chuck Palahniuk speak... and I'm only spending an entire paragraph defending my love for Fight Club because I know what it looks like and that fragile part of me is tempted even now to scream I'm not one of THOSE guys, I swear!
So, I think it's best to recognize that my opinions can make other people uncomfortable, and that other people aren't having opinions at me. Even the people who like James Bond or Gone with the Wind might do so out of ignorance, or willingness to forgive sexism because of good cinematography, and the best thing for it is just to disengage from the conversation and find other people to talk to.
Which is where the internet can be nice. I fully support blocking and muting people whose opinions make me uncomfortable. I support others blocking and muting me. In fact, my most-used reason for blocking someone is that I'm unsure whether or not I qualify for their DNI (do not interact) list. I can't tell if I'm a BNHA Apologist or not... guess I'd best not interact. I googled KL//Ance Shipper but nothing came up, and I might support KL and Ance's romance... guess I won't interact. So on. I never hear from them, they presumably never hear from me, and we're all so much happier than we would be if we got into a shouting match over Your Fave is Problematic.

You can read a whole book full of 19th century etiquette… or you can read the hastily-tacked-on final chapter listing one hundred fun facts the author didn’t have space to include elsewhere. The Antiques Freaks are joined by the Terrible Book Club for some antique advice from the historical etiquette manual Frost’s Laws and By-Laws of American Society by S. A. Frost (published 1869).
(The editorial staff of Antiques Freaks are fully aware that “Victorian” does not accurately describe events and publications occurring in America as by the 19th century we had thoroughly thrown off the yoke of monarchy; however in the interest of SEO we are forced to title the podcast episode thus. Please accept our deepest apologies.)

Leaving Cards - Design basics for gentlemen of the late 1800s.
 A gentleman's card should be thin—thick cards are not in good taste—and not glazed, and of the usual narrow width; his name should be printed in the centre, thus: "Mr. Smith," or "Mr. Francis Smith," should he require the addition of his Christian name to distinguish him from his father or elder brother.  To have "Francis Smith" printed on the card without the prefix of "Mr." would be a glaring solecism, and in the worst possible taste; also initials appertaining to honorary rank should never be printed or written on a card, such as D.L., Q.C., M.P., K.C.B., M.D., &c.  Military or professional titles necessarily precede the surname of the person bearing them, and of course are always used, such as "Colonel Smith," "Captain Smith," "Rev. H. Smith," "Dr. Smith," &c.  As regards titles, "The Honourable" is the only title that is not used on a visiting card. Thus, "The Honourable Henry Smith's" card would bear the words "Mr. Henry Smith" only, minus "The Honourable".  A baronet's card would be printed thus, "Sir George Smith," and a knight's card thus, "Sir Charles Smith."  A gentleman's address should be printed in the left hand corner of the card. If a member of a club, it is usual to print the name of the club at the right hand. Officers usually have the name of the club printed at the left hand corner in place of the address, and the regiment to which they belong at the right hand.  Cards should be printed in small copper-plate type, without ornamentation of any kind. Old English letters look old-fashioned on a card, and are but little used; and ornamented capital letters are never used, and are out of date. The type should be as plain and as free from any sort of embellishment as it well can be.
Manners and Tone of Good Society; or Solecisms to be Avoided, A Member of the Aristocracy, c.1886 (13th edition) [x] (Paragraphing added.)
The author later expands:
 As has been said, the title of "Honourable" is never used on a visiting card, but all other titles are used. The "The" preceding the title, is not used on a visiting card.
Please note that the design points (card thickness, type) are highly applicable to the late 19th century, when ornamentation had gone out of style, rather than other periods such as the mid-19th century when high-ornamentation was the fashion. We see the above advice embodied in Oscar Wilde's card (under a pseudonym), circa 1897 (note his address in the right hand, which may have varied from place to place; this address is in France):

it's always funny to see a post on here about basic courtesy and social mores and the notes are full of "you can't expect me to know this because i am autistic and nobody told me this directly" because more than half the time it is stuff that does NOT fall into the Unspoken Rules category. i'm not autistic and neither are my parents but they told me explicitly and from a young age things like "sometimes you have to be polite to people you don't like very much" and "never shit talk your last job in an interview"
those aren't Neurotypical Trade Secrets, those are basic life skills you have to be taught, like phone manners and how to address a formal letter/email. if your parents didn't teach you this shit they failed you, and that sucks, but it's not because you're autistic

It is, of course, abominably rude to respond to an invitation with "who else will be there?"

"The life of the flaunting coquette, is one continued scene of stratagem and deceit. Those rare qualities of being a good housewife and economical mistress, are not the butt at which she aims. A domestic life, in her estimation, is odious; and she quits the sober and diligent services of home, for the flirtings of gaiety, the opera, balls, masquerades, and assemblies, with a thousand other species of amusement, in which she can display her foibles, and be the gazing-stock of the surrounding multitude. Full of intrigues, deceit, and hypocrisy, she pretends to one what she dissolves next moment in her protestations to another, and thus all are deceived, and yet none desert her standard. Her dalliance with one, excites the other to strong emotion; and thus she holds in power, and at her pleasure, a whole string of the flippant-minded gentlemen."
The Etiquette of Love and Courtship, 1850

Its kind of fascinating to see the most recent intersection of not only Reddit and Tumblr, but of TikTok and Tumblr. There are people on Tumblr who are only just getting the chance to interact with John Green as more than a legend of a darker time in Tumblr's history. And while John was only a legend here,, he has been one of the hearts of multiple TikTok communities for years, and its great to see them learn who John Green really is.
There are people who have never read his books who will be exposed to them now.They get to find out about Tuberculosis and Socks and Coffee, and how genuine of a person John is. How he'll delete his posts if they make him too anxious and how we support him in that.
In some ways for me John's previous experience on Tumblr serves as one of the most visible reminders that everyone we interact with on the hellscape that is the internet is a person first and foremost, and anonymity and humor are no excuse to treat people badly.

Boom here's the reveal. Gotta have a meme-y sticker in there. I call it Link's New Ability. And then there are some accent stickers in the mix, to fill some space. That leaves 4 left! I might have to go back and increase the size of everything (sheet included) to fit everything in.
Sub anytime in May to get these in ur mailbox. (I also introduced the double sticker club, for those who want extras).

This is why Book Club exists!
If you want me to reblog your Megamind fic/art, feel free to tag me! 8D
Why do you reblog your own fics so much?
Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Does this look right to you??
These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.
Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.
Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

THIS IS A CHARACTER STUDY OF FUCKED UP CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!! I DONT CONDONE ANY OF THIS SHIT I JUST THINK THEY ARE A FREAK AND I NEED TO PUT THEM UNDER A MICROSCOPE and also kinda fandomstudy just read ok tw sensitive and triggering topics though
(1,839 word count) I was talking to some fellow fans earlier and they got to the topic of character popularity and socially convenient character designs
Things i had never considered before .
Very IMPORTANT things on a characters perception
So basically what brought it up was a character being brought up, roman. Now I know like only 1 person will know who i'm talking about BUT ! his character is extremely important for the point i'm making. And roman isn't very popular in this fandom, he has some fans, yes. As does every character but he is not nearly as popular as the others. Someone had pointed out that they thought he would be more popular if he had the "pretty boy" archetype design that's been booming in popularity as of recent. which is definitely a good topic to hang onto, but that's not very much the issue here. we will get to that later though.
Roman as a character is traditionally masculine, short buzzed hair, short eyelashes, muscular ect ect all the things you would associate with tradmasc fuckboys. This is very important to the way he behaves and thinks, he very much values masculinity and denounces femininity of any kind if its not from a tradwoman.
Note that everyone i'm going to mention is fucking awful and disgusting please. and this is also horror. topics mentioned can get very uncomfortable stay wary soldiers
Anyway despite roman's traditional masculinity, he is still a very attractive character !! He is considered one of the more attractive ones in canon too. His personality though ? Yeugh....
Hes a "white knight" feminist whose actually a misogynist and active has issues with anger and PHYSICALITY .
Aka everyone thinks hes going to beat his girlfriend one day. He hasn't yet, but there is very much an underlying *when*
Now, this is like whatever ok we expected that its tlc everyones fucked but whhhyyyy does everyone like sibling kisser and sti guy more ??
I mean hey one of these fuckers actively preys on their step sibling, but why is he regarded as one of the better characters ?? (He absolutely is but that's a story for another day)
Thats because of MODERN DAY SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND STANDINGS !!! That has been my conclusion
During the conversation i saw a lot of people start commenting on roman's main characterization points. Namely how oddly *realistic* he feels. How its hard to conversate and build a character *to* conversate with him. Its hard to, genuinely. its not easy to immerse yourself in his character and enjoy the things being told.
With the others, you can build off their behavior easily. Fall into tropes, make new ones, make your own spin on their set behaviors and motives. Vincent wants his step sibling, build off the step sibling and their fucked relationship. Soren wants power and to ruin his academic rivals reputation, build off his need for power and control and his social killer status. Marcus wants to ignore consequences and stay ignorant about his drug dealing and usage, build off his need for consequences and make him realize. And so forth, there are many different situations, and many different reactions you can pull.
But roman ? He doesn't *need* anything. His only motive is to keep his practically unknown one-off murder hidden. And his behavior doesn't help with his lack of motives. yes, there is the fact he is inherently abusive. the way he keeps his girlfriend, Madeline, under wraps. isolating her, trapping her in only what he finds acceptable and such.
but that's not fixable through him, there is a reason Madeline has her own POV. you need to get *her* out, not him.
This is not me saying his character is bad and unlikable as a specimen, he is extremely well written and his motives are understandably realistic all things considered.
But his behavior is very reminiscent of current time red-pilled conservative young men. Yknow. The ones who go on podcasts to bash women they will never meet ever for being "whores" and not wanting children
I find that Roman's fatal flaw as a character is that he is too similar to people that we actually *know*.
Now, realism in characters is very good !! We of course want characters to feel fleshed out and actually *possible* to be obtained as a real person. But !! The difference between sibling freak Vincent, mind games Soren, OD Marcus, self harm Heathrow... Is that they aren't nearly as common to run into than pro trad conservative Roman
You wont see someone like Soren often. someone who manipulates and blackmails for their own gain. Sure, they exist !! But you have less of a chance of meeting someone like him. He is obtainable, he is someone you *can* know. But hes rare.
Roman? Walk into an average american school and listen around, i'm sure youll see some of his dialogue regurgitated straight from the mouth of a fucked up teen boy
Hes someone you interact with often, even if not directly. So... Why would you gravitate toward that?
Media like this, as realistic as people like to make it, is all supposed to be fantasies rather than realities. So when you bring realities too close, youre going to get some unhappy reports
Of course, people love roman as a character and still like his codings and characterizations, its just that its so much harder to actually favour him. Why would you favour the douchebag you see everyday ? Unreasonable
Instead, people jump to the more "real fantasy" characters like Heathrow. Will you ever meet someone who forces you into dangerous situations and tries to get you killed so he can die right alongside you because of some fucked up meaning of love ? Probably not. But the possibility isn't entirely gone. If you wanted to talk to some fucked up trad red pilled asshole, just go to school at that point why need roman you know ?
Someone said during the conversation that they knew someone like Soren and that they very much disliked Soren because of that experience. So the concept of "attainable" characters has some backing to it. even though people might gravitate to characters similar to oneself, its those who had a negative experience with someone that acts similarly that affects the characters perception.
I think this is an incredibly important aspect to character creation, Think about how your characters comply to the real life people you know and or are aware of, and know how that affects their audience perception. Use it to your advantage, it's very interesting and makes a lot of sense when put into theory. Of course there is an audience for real life people depictions but an overwhelming majority wants fantasy that feels real.
Overall, the looks of a character matter heavily, of course, but not as much as people think. even if Roman fell into the "pretty boy" archetype, most of his audience wouldn't change. yes there would probably be a little bit more in favour of him since... well. pretty. unfortunately that's a truth. but his behavior would still feel increasingly troubling to enjoy or "defend" in a way.
Now I know that this sounds like I'm somewhat advocating for the demolition of these types of characters, but i'm really not. characters like these are crucial to our self perception, fandom spaces, and even morals. lines get drawn in behavioral ideals and sometimes what reached way past the line for you isn't even cutting it for someone else. If these characters did not exist, i feel as though our perception of others would get very skewed. In a way, these characters show and remind us of our actual realities. These things are real, they exist, don't forget that.
if we were to ignore the realities of people like this, we wouldnt get very far in our social progression. Now i know many people dont very much concern themselves with interacting directly to these kinds of thoughts, but ! Think about it. The less aware we are, the less we portray these sorts of things, the less change we see in our enviromental thinking. Its something very commonly experienced, which is why so many varying groups of people fight for their representation. It works both ways.
But luca !!!!! If people dont like characters too closely related to reality, why do people like characters that relate heavily to *their* reality?
Well. Simple. As i said before with the "attainable" characters: people like characters that relate to oneself. Thats generic info, yeah, everyone knows that. But theres a level of reliability thats needed for a character to have as much popularity as they have.
Lets take doppo kannonzaka for example, one of if not the most popular hypmic character. People love him !! Hes relatable in the sense of modern day struggling. People hate their jobs, people hate the current economic state and how its forcing them into keeping jobs that are terrible for them just because theres no other option. But not many people will explore this outwardly.
So...
They do it through characters.
While being rooted in reality, he is *still* a fantasy. He portrays the emotions rarely shown out of private. The thoughts and feelings of average workers, the things they arent allowed to say publicly without fear of repercussion. Theres no harm in liking a character, right?
Thats the main difference i see in this dynamic. The Outlets, and The Plug-ins.
The Outlets are what allow people to express themselves, the "real fantasies"
And The Plug-ins? The things people need to stay conscious about their enviroments, the "realities"
Personally, i think this is something to keep in mind as an audience and as a producer. When interacting with media, i see many people dislike characters that fall into "the plug-ins" category. Simply for the reason that they represent something seen as distasteful to publicity. This feels like the wrong way to go about things. First and most of all, the producer has a right to create what they wish to express in their stories. It is 1. Never okay to harass them for such, and 2. Never okay to interact with such media with a mental blockade preventing you from truly understanding the medias intent.
That last one was mostly in reference to fans that take themes and situations out of context because they find the inherent thought of it "bad". Thus resulting in the bashing of that media without truly knowing what it represents.
Now of course, there are acceptions to these things. And it is perfectly okay to choose what and which media you immerse yourself in based off of your tastes and personal feelings. But thats not what we are here for right now.
But disliking plug-ins for being plug-ins? To me, it seems small minded.
So this is me politely giving my observations up, and asking whoever reads this to think about the way they interact with media.
You dont have to like them, but appreciate your fandom plug-in and reconsider how you see their point in the story and its themes.

Commonsense Etiquette for Pull Carts
Pull carts are very common on the golf course. I think I see more people pushing their clubs around the course vice carrying. However, this article will cover carrying etiquette as well. Many people think that because I am pushing their clubs that little to no damage can happen to the golf course. This thinking is folly and consideration needs to be given to your playing partners and to…
