Literally going insane, might have to write fanfic for the first time in 2 years because the people™️ do not get my favorite female characters like I do and I feel the insurmountable urge to write her. I’m going to bite drywall why don’t ppl see her complexities. PLEASE STOP WRITING HER ETHIER AS DOMICILE MOM OR BITCH (or just for shipping) she is so so cool please guys please.
Also while I’m here, fandoms tendency to shove women in the ‘pure powerful goddess who can do no wrong’ box and then proceed to never give them an actual narrative role other than like ‘supportive’ or ‘took out a few background guys’. Like why DOES this incredibly badass and complex female character just get shunted into doinging some cool flips, getting praised about it (she’s the strongest fighter, so feminist wow) then never getting actnowleged as a 2 dimensional character.
I saw this a lot when I was in the Batman fandom, particularly with Cassandra Cain. She is a highly complex and interesting character, but in fandom she’s kind of shunted to ‘Badass therapy dog who takes care of the men’. Because even on the slight chance her backstory is brought up it’s always never delved into and mostly used to make her etheir more tragic and in need of support on a surface level or to let her be compassionate with the men characters who get their actual problems foucused on. It’s a unqiue kind of frustrating because it’s like almost letting the cool female character be cool, but it’s more like the idea of a badass women is shoved in your face, maybe joked about (or if we’re lucky she gets to beat up a few bad-guys), but ultimately treated like a cardboard cutout. Interestingly this actually isn’t entirely a female character thing, it’s also common with like old grandfather/grandmother characters and the elderly in general. But it’s usually badass women from what I see. :/ Why can’t fandom explore their stories (people do but why is it so much less), why can’t they be the prtags of cool AUs or time-travel fix-its, or crossover events
Idk I think I’m just frustrated, and I typed out more than I thought I would. Also Ive seen what happens to some other posts complaining about fandom misogyny, so please know if you’re a TERF, fuck off you have no place in this discussion. We will never agree, and frankly all of these points apply to canon Trans Women characters. Don’t say shit ill fucking end you.
#This is about Katara Avatar because I peaked into the fandom since I’m rewatching#you don’t get her like I do sorry#Azula too#I could save her#I think Azula needs to go on a time travel fix-it fanfic journey#you don’t even understand#this is also Alpha Undertale (the best written Undertale character)#ALPHYS NOT ALPHA#this is also about Cassandra Cain#but actually I don’t think I could write her well- but the way she’s portrayed in fandom drives me insane#and Steph brown#not dungeon meshi actually- those guys got the lesbians who are winning actually#cassandra cain#probably can tag her#I’m not an avid comic reader but I know she is being done DIRTY by fandom#Fandom misogyny#I actually really like fandom spaces#but I do have to be#fandom critical#at times#More female characters I think are done dirty: Mable pines (She needs a cool time travel fix-it where she has to hide it from her brother)#Urakaka from bnha should be in a toxic Yuri situation w/ Toga- but also should be in the time vortex and should be dropped in a crossover#though the source material there doesn’t treat their women the best so I’ll give some grace to fandom#but if you can give background character 108 his own spin off you can spare some characterization for Urakaka who is awesome#Toriel is actually awesome and I think she should get a solo fic series foucusing on her grief of being a mother again to frisk#also I love Asgore but she owes him nothing and they should stay divorced#I think Mad Mew Mew should just become the 3rd skeleton sibling#I won’t elaborate#that’s most my fandoms down- Deltarune isat Orv and stp fandoms don’t really seems to have this issiue#but Odile and Mirabelle very interesting and I will beam them into your brain

no more celestial body symbolism. embrace fast and furious casting headcanons. take my hand. let's watch all 10 films together so we can accurately assign characters to previous life series winners. I believe Fast X: Part 2 (releasing 2025) can become a crane wives situation if we do our best
#life series#trafficblr#traffic smp#this is a lie but it's funny so#i DO really think that fandoms getting into really unrelated media as a group is extremely funny#but actually the symbolism to me is there's a car in space now#bc i do really like the celestial symbolism#and on a deeper level. maybe tying ourselves to consistent motifs and metaphors in an improv series will not increase our enjoyment of it#as more and more of these come out i think it has to be okay to separate them narratively#but after we all watch the last day and furious movie together 🧡 🧡 🧡

i think the thing i'm most disappointed about with riordanverse fandom now versus like 2014 is not only has the fandom not gotten any less racist or queerphobic or ableist (in fact in some regards its gotten worse!) but now it's just boring too. like there's no fandom infrastructure anymore - the community these days is almost entirely source material-driven - and you deviate from canon even slightly people get weird about it. whatever happened to the post-HoO fanon boom. the fandom needs to get weirder again. and self-sufficient. and less offensive.
#pjo#riordanverse#deep and weary sigh. we need to bring back the lower ecosystem rings of fandom#prop up some good ol' community spaces especially since a lot of old ones have totally petered out#< mostly referring to stuff like ye olde ship headcanons blogs#heck even doing a quick search for ''pjo headcanons'' the most recent blog was last active in 2017 and the other two in 2013#there's an rp community floating around but im keeping tabs on the riordanverse askblog community and its a bit dire#there's been like what - *one?* maybe two major fandom aus that have floated around recently?#one moreso being one person's au that most people dont actually do much with#and the other more being like a half-hearted general concept that got kicked around for a couple of weeks#i am legitimately tempted to just go wild and start planning out and setting up like a hub for trying to revitalize the community#like the community EXISTS. it's THERE. it ebbs and flows! but now it only really does much when there's new official content#and it rarely exists outside of that#and given we are technically in a fandom boom right now with the show now is like. the perfect opportunity to set up fandom infrastructure#so that new fans have a place to go and integrate with the community and start pumping new life back into things#also i think the fandom becoming more self-sufficient could help with the offensive part since Rick sure isnt helping

I've come to the conclusion that being assigned the fandom-mandated "sunshine character" is the worst possible fate a character could face
#maybe I'm just biased because the characters that this happens to tend to be some of my favorites but I think I'm onto something#these characters aren't allowed depth of emotion or complex inner worlds. once a character is fanonized as the 'ray of sunsine'#or the 'cinnamon roll' they cease to occupy any space outside of that role in fanon content. they're happy & silly & not much else#no matter how much depth they may actually have in canon.#popular fanon has a tendency to treat happiness & goodness like states without any emotional complexity.#emotional complexity is reserved for the anti-heroes & jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold you see.#atp 'X is a ray of sunshine' has begone to feel like code for 'I don't actually care about this character very much nor do I understand#their canon narrative so I'm just gonna ignore them 98% of the time. but hey they're really nice! that's something! anyways—'#this is about many characters but I particularly want to call out aang & nightcrawler / kurt wagner as two who get this the worst.#because christ the mischaracterization they get from people who never think about them outside of the 'uwu small bean' box is infuriating#also steven universe & miles morales. although it's not so bad for steven after suf#fandom bs#please pretend I typed 'begun' a few tags back

updated the prototype
Moon's having fun, that's all that matters [:
#crab chatter#fnaf moon#fnaf sun#fnaf eclipse#fnaf dca#dca fandom#crab crafts#project: pins abound the merry-go-round#lowkey looking more like a gazebo because of how tall it is#i can't really make it shorter because the dangling pins need room to dangle#actually this height would fit the fnaf 2 carousel#but i it would be harder to make the fnaf 2 carousel because of the rounded top#maybe if i add the centre column?#wasn't planning to because i want space for Moon to hang out#but i think there is still room for one#i could also add paper cut outs of the carousel rides to the poles so it sells the carousel image more

Mini rant below and in the tags, the only time I’ll talk about this and my personal take on it.
The way people talk about hypothetical male Anya on Twitter and the idea of how Mouthwashing would play out if the genders were swapped makes me remember how people still don’t take sexual assault and rape with male victims with the same gravity, especially when the perpetrator is female.
#not even gonna tag this cause I don’t want to start discourse in the tags but you can absolutely still explore the concepts of patriarchy#toxic masculinity misogyny and rape culture if the genders where swapped#like those concepts don’t disappear just because Anya is a boy now cause you have to think of all the ways it applies to male victims and#I just don’t understand why people keep getting angry when people facilitate different discussion the game opens you up to#like yes I get the frustration with not seeing the conversations you want but start them go find them why complain on other posts when#people are bringing attention to similar issues and the ways they are overlooked dismissed or blame the victim#I for one think we should have more basic clarifying conversations of SA rape cultures and how toxic masculinity and sexism create scenarios#like the Tulpar and enable men like Jimmy but I also can understand and enjoy the topic being expanded upon to include other cases on a#flipped scale like yes how male centered the fandom is is annoying considering the topic but seeing comments saying that SA isn’t as harmful#to men cause they can’t get pregnant is a whole can of worms you really need to unpack cause holy shit#like in this scenario if Jimmy is pregnant and can’t get rid of the baby Anya is the father yes Jimmy is pregnant but that’s because in this#swap she assaulted a man lied to either say it was consensual he forced himself on her or like canon panicked and semi admitted to forcing#him either way he is afraid to do anything because men do get blamed for defending themselves against women in these situations not to#mention the shaming that occurs because he is a man and should step up for the kids sake and likely be told he should be proud a girl wanted#him that much like yes you have to explain it more but bodily autonomy in this scenario is just as nuanced and I can’t believe I have to#defend something being male centered in a game where the rape of a woman is the catalyst just because people are saying SA for men#is not as damaging or degrading or harmful to autonomy as it is to a woman like how can you want conversations on rape culture and shut down#people bringing up other nuances in the conversation#like people are gonna jump around with it I know but if you only want to talk about one thing stay in that sphere like I just don’t get#going to another space especially one that isn’t even being weird or toxic and starting shit cause you don’t like it like the amount of#unnecessary and mean comments on normal art of think pieces I’ve seen on Twitter is crazy like it’s stupid callout shit for the sake of just#not liking something like I’m seeing so much screen shotting and vague posting like just at the bitch and fight about it like it’s still a#relatively small fandom ur just asking for in fighting on like the few things we shouldn’t have to worry about#as a victim my self and who has been in other situations and being afab I just can’t understand the vitriol toward this sort of discussion#mouthwashing#actually I will tag this cause you can explore the themes in mouthwashing still stop being freaks and just block bitches ong

The older I get and the more terrible takes I see the more in favour I become of gatekeeping
#text post#Normies who so so so badly want to be part of a certain crowd to be quirky while being actually disgusted by that crowd's whole thing#People going “I want that old man” but the character is 30 because they can't imagine someone REALLY thirsting after an actual older man#“He's so caked up!” about a Genshin Impact character because when people say that they can't POSSIBLY mean being attracted to fat people#“This game is ableist” because the horror game with horror themes explores extremely dark concepts#and they want to like the popular horror because it's cool to like it but they can't fathom people ACTUALLY liking REAL dark content#“This game should have an easy mode” because the super hard game known for being hard is too hard for them#and they hate not being part of the fandom about the hard game that's known for being hard#“Ok hear me out” about the most milquetoast character because when people say “hear me out”#they can't POSSIBLY be ACTUALLY attracted to the really weird shit#and if they are any of these things they are sick and twisted and problematic and -ist and -phobic and perverts and degenerates#I'm done#Stop trying to be a freak for clout when at your core you're actually happier with generic crowdpleaser media#Stop moving into spaces not for you and then demanding they cater to you#And forcing out the real audience using morality and shame as your weapons of choice#I'm so fucking done#vent

Sun isn't the only animatronic doing crafts in the daycare. Sporting the finest in handcrafted cardboard accessories, Fairy Princess Moon decided to swing on by @daycarefriendpickup's Magma this past weekend.
And look, here's the Fairy Sun drawn by @lil-lemon-snails that inspired this drawing!
#loaf art#fnaf daycare attendant#fnaf moon#moondrop#dca fandom#what's this I actually drew Moon?!#this was a fun board to draw on - it had a big flower with some bug friends and a Troll!#this fairy Moon was specifically drawn to complement the fairy Sun that was being drawn there at the time :3#I wish I spent more time on Moon's accessories and possibly put the attendant in a thematically appropriate costume (a dress)#but I was both physically and mentally done with this drawing by the time I reached this point#I really like the arts and crafts themed drawings I've done the last few Magmas and I really want to do more of it outside that space#also please ignore all the problems with Moon's limbs I don't even know what happened here

When obi wan met cody or: the story why obi wan loves him so much.
A very short story by: me
Obi wan suddenly, dramatically throws his robe down and yells into the skies: WHY IS EVERYONE IN THIS FREAKING GALAXY A KRIFFIN LUNATICK EVEN THE FORCE?! *sinking his shoulders sadly* why am i the only normal reasonable adult here? *sniff*
His robe then is picked up by a pair of gloved hands. Cody, picks it up and hands it to him then calmly crosses his arms behind his back.
Cody: Here you dropped this sir :) My name is marshall commander cody, i am assigned to you as your commander :)
Obi wan:
Obi *whisper*: a normal reasonable adult?!
Cody: oh thank the maker i didn't want to be so forward at our first meeting but yes oh finally A NORMAL PERSON. *leans in and whispers behind held out hand* these lunaticks here all all out of their minds aren't they?
Obi with teary eyes: YESSSS!
*edit
They both then proceeded to sing barbie as the princess and the paupers: i'm just like you (yes with performance)
And since this day they are unseperable. Two tired adults drinking their Whiskey adorned morning coffee and silently judging everyone else around them
They are staring. Furociously. Everbody knows
#it is very and i repeat very important for me to note that obi wan was the pink princess and cody the blue one#actually are they really this normal? probably not#obi:i'm just like you cody: you're just like me both together: we take responcibility#they also were holding hands while singing to each other#everyone was looking like tf these two doing#they're having a (gay) orchestral awakening and they have to express it leave them alone-rex or anakin probably#and that ladies and gentlemen is the story of why obi wan cherishes cody so much#star wars#star wars prequels#obi wan kenobi#star wars fandom#attack of the clones#revenge of the sith#the phantom menace#anakin skywalker#space jesus#the clone wars#commander cody#cc 2224#captain rex#star wars shenanigans#incorrect quotes#star wars blurb

The submas brainworm is only getting stronger, so I have drafted a whole-ass comic for a new AU idea! One where Chandelure gets to take center stage and become the main character she was always meant to be~
The gist of the AU is that Chandelure has a ghostly soul-bond with Ingo, which essentially means that his soul is under her protection and he sorta registers as a ghost to other pokemon. Basically protects him from other ghosts trying to put their sticky paws on her trainer and also gives the two of them a bit of an empathetic connection. Not quite telepathy, but able to transmit complex feelings and lets them check how badly they're hurt.
Naturally, this means that when Giratina (who was honestly just trying to play around. They were given the tedious task of just opening rifts and looking through all those peep holes made them curious. So when they saw a soul that had a beautiful ghost bond, they became fascinated) snags Ingo and drags him through, Chandelure immediately feels when Giratina's power accidentally tries to overwhelm Ingo's soul and she absolutely loses her shit. Through psychically screaming and using her protective aura to try and bash Giratina, the distortion god acts like a dog that's done something they shouldn't and tries to hide the evidence of their messing around (Ingo getting fucked up via soul and getting not too gently dropped off a mountain).
I have more ideas, especially relating to how Emmet is taking his brother's ace losing her mind and how her actions affect the investigation, but if I keep going down these tracks I'm going to end up with another 90k WIP fic like i did with Naruto. (Though if people wanna see the AU written out...👀... I could absolutely be convinced. I'm very weak...)
#Whew...that's a lot of text for a silly WIP#but I honestly haven't drawn a comic in like 4 years so I'm actually kind of excited to finish this piece#not sure if I will do more...maybe if people have questions better answered through drawing...#poor Giratina. dude was just lonely#I kinda wanna have Chandelure have a Mystery Dungeon adventure to round up pokemon to rip through time and space with her#And of course she can't really communicate with Emmet#So his world is falling apart around him and his brother's beloved pokemon's insanity makes it seem like he's dead#oops...Chandelure please inform your trainer-in-law before the police arrest him on grounds of suspicion#aaaaand I went crazy in the tags too#oh submas boys...look what you've done to me...#submas#subway boss ingo#subway boss emmet#pokemon#my art#art wip#giratina#are there other submas/pokemon tags? I have only recently gotten into the fandom here on tumblr#Once I have a name for this AU I'll tag it

Fuck it. Jumping on the "Prove the Pansear Screenshots weren't Faked" bandwagon. Seeing so many people blindly cheer and reblog that callout post legitimately almost made me delete my blog in fear. I don't blame Pan for deleting at all and don't think that's automatic proof of guilt. No one cared about any potential victims, no one cared if someone got hurt, they just bragged about how "they've always known" and that's terrifying. If the screenshots turn out to be true i'll retract my statement and apologize, but for now im just scared for the rw community and where its headed because this isn't good
I know Im not really a creator in the rw fandom anymore (mostly due to stuff like this tbh) but if just one person sees this and feels safer and seen then i'll be happy
#rain world#pansear#rw drama#I know Im risking getting harassed for daring to speak out but I just can't stand it anymore#I don't even really support Pan I just hate seeing fandom spaces turn into shit like this#This is not hate at the person that posted the screenshots I just want to know for sure someone was actually guilty and not just bullied of#I dont want anyone to be harassed I just want clarity#Who gave you those screenshots? What was the server even about? Why did you hold onto the screenshots to post it at 'the right time' ?#Why did you share a screenshot of someone literally asking if your group if they had dirt on Pan? Why isn't anyone else questioning this?#And its stupid I should even have to fear harassment just for wanting more evidence#but ive already seen someone make a callout post trying to intimidate someone into shutting up about wanting proof#and thats not normal!!! If your truly wanting to see a bad person get away from your community you wouldn't be doing that??#hopefully I blocked enough people from that side of the fandom I wont get beaten to death but. Fucking. God

it’s really interesting to me that Gabriel checks in on his brother so much despite how Miguel can often act and that he is in-text called insecure and that he follows along with his various girlfriends interests and that he so often wears so many layers and that he has a cyberspace addiction and that his archetype in cyberspace is just himself (which could be the comic just making it easier for us to know who’s who, but what a boring way to take it). And how willing he is to fight and do good but also ‘neither of my sons were ever worth much in a fight’ and how he asks for help but also ‘i can take care of myself’. do you get me.
#i am once again rambling#spiderman#gabriel o’ hara#silly little textposts#sm2099#one day i might actually write the trans gabe essay but until then it will remain hc#HES JUST SO INTERESTING#like its about the spaces between#how these all fit together into the same character yknow#i do desperately want to make a spider gabe au cause i think it'd be so interesting from both sides#anyway. lmao look at this nerd (me)#really cant think today but my head is full and also im trying to not be mad about atsv fandom miguel so. gabe it is!

"The Wyll haters are inescapable," an essay by me, ft this side conversation in Devora Wilde's bg3 stream:
What if you shut your mouth. What if.
#I'm sorry I really don't like to complain in fandom spaces. But my Wyll fans. Please come commersiate with me I was fuming.#And for context! This is dev talking about how cool it was to meet Wyll! Why are you idiots coming in from that moment with this????#“Said no one ever” what if you were a fucking moron. Huh?#Also if you pretend like mizora is at all cool or sexy or awesome but hate Wyll? Fuck you.#You're actually allowed to like mizora. That's perfectly fine. If you /only like mizora???#Please think about your bias for just like one moment.#I swear.#Not saying anything revolutionary but like. If you don't like a character. I do think you just need to shut up.#Don't like Wyll? Keep it to yourself? Gale? Keep it to yourself. Lae'zel? Fucking Astarion? Please just be quiet.#wyll ravengard#wyll bg3#bg3#baldur's gate 3#fandom

This is a weird thought I’m having so I wanted to ramble a bit but I don’t understand this weird double standards in fandom that I’ve noticed and it’s just. Idk.
JayVik is one of the most popular ships in the arcane fandom despite Jayce saying ‘he’s like a brother to me’
Meanwhile Genji says ‘you’re like a brother to me’ to Cassidy in one of their interactions and immediately everyone starts dunking on the ship saying it’s found family it’s this it’s that and now you can’t ship it. I think it mainly just comes down to ship popularity tbh like. It’s undeniable people like yeehan and JayVik a lot more than they like things like Spuriken and idk. MelJay? (only comparison I could think of)
I think with JayVik specifically it’s also that you get to see a lot more development between Jayce and Viktors relationship, so most fans would probably grow attached to it more despite what happens with Mel who we see a bit less of??
Idk about overwatch every ship just gets tablescraps I don’t even know where yeehan came from 😭 blizzard can’t even decide if it wants to push Pharmercy or Gency so I am so honestly over it at this point lmaoo
I have no issues with any of these ships do whatever you want I just think it’s interesting how people cherry pick depending on the ship/fandom ig?
(Obviously overwatch is not arcane and the fandoms/general fans/shipping cultures are suupppperrrr different I just happen to be in both and this is something I noticed while actively being apart of both fandoms)
#ship whatever you want btw I actually don’t care literally none of my business#I think the whole ‘you’re like a brother to me’ thing. although a bit weird is mainly just speaking to how close these characters are#so if you still ship them idc literally nothing to me#pot meet kettle I’m not a big shipper but spuriken is one of my favs for sure so I can’t really say anything about jayvik#not hating btw I’m a multi shipper I am equally neutral about everything always#however I will say if characters are shown to genuinely see eachother as siblings/have a sibling like bond I start to get uncomfy real quick#this is not a safe space to start talking about how you ship actual siblings/found families#arcane#overwatch#spuriken#jayvik#fandom discourse#???#I won balls

#i’m putting this down here because i don’t actually really want to talk about it or answer asks about it but i’m like a little annoyed lmao#first of all obviously people should have boundaries and not be annoying/invasive/etc. duh.#i have been around the rpf block many a time and rule 1 is don’t be a weirdo. don't let it out of fandom spaces :)#but yeah idk. oliver stark to me feels like someone who is actually very familiar with the mechanics of fandom warfare#and therefore does not know how to log off when it starts to get personal#like to be clear i definitely do not think he engages directly with This fandom other than to lurk and spy on people for fun/haterism#but in MY opinion he has the energy of a person who spends a nonzero amount of time engaged in petty anonymous beef#over a character or a ship or a sport or a new brand of tofu. idk i don’t really care what he’s into#but it does sort of seem like he forgets that when he’s doing it on his real socials with his real face and real name attached#people are going to know that it’s him and respond accordingly and he should just like. block them and move on.#and maybe even go back to his burner and vague about it or something if he truly cannot just walk away.#which he does seem to be sort of getting slightly better at but it's still just like. yeah man! i don't know what to tell you.#people are weird sometimes. we all get weird anons and dm’s and people cyberbullying us. it sucks and it shouldn't happen but it does.#and you do literally just have to find ways to make it easier to ignore them. i know that you know this#because you are a human who grew up on the same exact internet as the rest of us.#i say; as i feel compelled to post about a tiny situation from like 12 hours ago that has literally nothing to do with me#anyway!!!!!!!#i went into the settings to turn off reblogs and thought how funny would it be if i blazed this post lmao
