#I also haven’t been here that long

[canichangemyblogname]

Thank you for saying what you said about Athena and Hen. They are such good characters and Aisha and Angela play them so well and yet in fandom I often see people strip them of all their complexities and reduce them down to what's essentially the mammy stereotype which as a black fan is so disturbing and disheartening to see. Also thanks for saying that little bit about Maddie because y'all she suffered from parentification and I absolutely hate seeing the abuse she suffered being wrapped in a cute little bow by calling her Buck's real mom. Finally I know you didn't mention Eddie but wanted to talk about how I hate the whole Eddie's a bitch thing. Because yes Eddie is bitchy and I love that but fandom often runs with that one aspect of his personality to the point where it feels they're depicting him as the sassy/spicy Latino stereotype.

I don't think people are meaning any harm by doing this and I don't think they're intentionally being shitty but I don't like how fandom has this tendency to strip women and characters of colour of any ounce of complexity, minimize their other relationships and make them them into one dimensional figures often in an effort to prop up white characters.

I haven't been in this fandom for very long but it's just been really depressing. Like for a show that has a diverse roster of characters and shines the spotlight on each and every one of them it's maddening to see a fandom that is not normal about women, queer people and POC.

its like i’ve been operating on auto for hours, i feel so weird. like a piece of my youth has been cut off unexpectedly

[ilovefredjones]

actually gotta go my own way is so. like a massive part of troy & gabriella’s relationship is built on that initial connection they had with other, where neither of them had anyone they had to be so they were just being themselves. and that vulnerability and genuineness is what they both really value about their relationship & it means so much to them. and gabriella sings ‘i’ve got to move on / and be WHO I AM’!!!!! she doesn’t feel that same connection with troy anymore. she feels like she has to hide parts of who she is whilst troy is also faking who he is!!!!!! and in bet on it troy sings ‘did you ever / LOSE YOURSELF to get what you want?’. hsm is integrally about being yourself & the genuine connection and joy that comes with being true to who you are. troy loses himself but gabriella serves as a reminder to who he really is

Classes started… already sick of this (I haven’t even been to my first class yet). Drew my boys to decompress ✌️😞

I do kind of hope a series gives us a Megatron and Optimus with a “strangers to respected enemies/rivals to potentially more (at least in the fanfics)” sort of dynamic

Because I feel like that doesn’t really happen, at least not to my knowledge. I feel like if Megatron has a respect for Optimus, it’s usually due to their long, shared history, not something that develops over the course of the series

And I know some people say that’s what happens in TFA, but no, it really doesn’t. The two never reach the “respect” part, with Optimus hating Megatron for being an evil villain, and Megatron seeing him as a nuisance at best and never bothering to learn his name, only calling him it once like 2 minutes after being told it earlier in the fight, which I think in context doesn’t really count for much

I just feel like it’d be neat to properly explore, especially since I’m realizing we seem to have it fairly consistently be that they were “old friends” for a while now, let’s shake it up a little

By the way I’ve had this “mha definitely doesn’t have that much planning in long-term and horikoshi just makes it up as he goes, and that creates contradictory story beats like… all the issues with the ‘saving’ villains plot” idea of a post in my head for YEARS PLURAL and um. Does. Does now seem like a good time to write it?

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

okay, so its officially been a year since i posted my first milex fanfic and i just wanted to say the most MASSIVE thank you to everyone who’s left comments/kudos/messages on it over the last twelve months 💗 writing this fic pulled me out of long drought of writer’s block and truly restored my joy in writing, and i am eternally grateful to alex and miles and their wonderful music (and ridiculous exploits) for inspiring me, but also to everyone who supported and encouraged me to keep writing. whether you left comments on this fic right from the start, or just started reading it last week - i truly can’t begin to adequately express how much it means to know that something you’ve written is being enjoyed by or means something to other people. thank you all so SO much 💖

Currently thinking about what a missed opportunity it was that I didn’t write a quick scene of Cartman being put into that police car at the end of EWILY.

Just imagine, the cops settling into the front and looking back at Cartman in the mirror so disappointed and disgusted by his actions. They could hit him with the “Well, you’ve traumatized your classmates, gotten several immigrants severely injured or killed and are probably going away for a long time. Was it worth it?”

And Cartman, ever the goddamn romantic (I hate him) glances back at his friends as they emerge from the doors of Casa Bonita, Stan and Kyle hand in hand. He turns to face front again with a satisfied smile and utters that one goddamn word.

“Totally.”

Anyway everyone just pretend I was smart and funny enough to actually include that in the fic. Okay? Cool.

[tomurasprincess]

hey just letting you know, i think your tumblr website is broken (https). You can't access anything and the custom layout is pretty much gone as well. No idea what's going on or if it's just me lol

Looks like my theme somehow broke and I’m not quite savvy enough to fix it. Was able to find another decent looking theme to slap on there so that it’s at least readable. Thanks so much for letting me know!

[snapbackbuck]

okay don’t jump me for this i just logged on. but i think buck’s name taking the place of midge’s on the poster is less about tim outright saying that buck is in love with eddie/will realize it and that’s where the story is going and more about him taking midge’s place re: questioning eddie’s obsession over chasing shannon’s ghost—saying this is not healthy and you’re driving yourself into an obsessive spiral over something that doesn’t exist the way you’re seeing it. like i think the subtext that buck is in love with eddie is there, and any way you cut it he’s going to be acting out of love for eddie! but the choice to ‘cast’ buck as midge is more about framing him as the voice of reason and eddie’s anchor to reality than being an outright admission that buck is going to realize he’s in love with eddie during the vertigo arc. do you feel me.
