#I don’t even think there’s enough ppl to even call this a fandom 😭

[mathias-wanabe]

WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER I FIND A NEW FANDOM ITS ALWAYS 100X MORE NICHE AND UNKNOWN THEN THE LAST????

IM GONNA DIE FROM CONTENT DEPRIVATION ISTGGGGG

Anyways new hyperfixation just dropped

Game is Called “creature in the corner”

[zombiecowboy65]

1) CatLaila anon here 👋🏼 and omg I agree so much with your previous answer especially this bit: “But also like it was stated that Jeremy was the only one to give Jean boundaries and that’s part of why Jean liked him so much” YES I AGREE SO MUCH

When I tell you that this fandom has been driving me nuts because of the way they treat Jeremy

They think Jeremy "coddles" Jean too much but honestly? He's the only one keeping an appropriate behavior with him. They're basically strangers, he knows he has no right to push, to be aggressive, to shame Jean. And he understands Jean in a way no other Trojan can

It's so weird that the fandom doesn't like that

Do they think that if Jean gets pushed enough he'll magically ✨heal✨faster and they'll get to read some smut???? Well, that's not how it works sorry

The more you push someone like Jean, the more he feels backed into a corner. Then he can only shut down or lash out. Either way it's a hundred steps back in terms of actual healing. The less people push, the more Jean opens up

Jeremy got it right from the start (except for a few hiccups)

But such a big part of the fandom doesn’t see that. They are just too fixated on the original trilogy, where EVERYONE was brash and kind of brutal with each other (someone arrogant and inconsiderate like Kevin fits right in with the misfit Foxes, while the Trojans/Coach Rhemann would humble him so fast... now THAT's a story I'd love to see 👀 lol). So they see Jeremy's behavior as "coddling"... when it's just kindness and understanding

btw feel free to ignore the rest of my asks because it's A LOT lmao. I just wanted to tell you that I agree with you 😌

Hello again!!! Also I will not ignore ur asks 😤 we seem to be on the same page about A LOT and I wish u could come off anon so I could be ur friend lmao.

Honestly yeah . Pre TGR there was like this consensus that Jeremy was going to like strong arm and “soft Dom” Jean into healing, and it made 0 sense to me (and honestly frustrated me beyond belief) especially since Jeremy was so insistent that Jean’s healing wasn’t his business and Jean stated that he liked Jeremy bc Jeremy gave him boundaries. Also Jean never really seemed to bow to Jeremy so why ppl were so insistent that he would is beyond me.

After TGR I’ve seen a lot of takes that are annoyed Jeremy’s so much of a pushover and lackluster and doesn’t have a backbone but like �� he does? U don’t have to be brash and brutal and an asshole to have a spine 😭.

I also agree 100%. The parallels between Jeremy and Jean let Jeremy understand him sm better than everyone else on the Trojans, and while there were some hiccups, he’s the only one handling this appropriately. Cat and Laila and Jeremy and the rest of the Trojans are all strangers to Jean, and the fact that cat and Laila felt so entitled to his trauma made me insane. Like they pushed and he pushed back , and kept refusing to give answers so much that Jeremy had to go a different route to get an answer by calling Kevin. (Even in this book, they tried to push, and Jean actually has to snap his fingers in Cat’s face at one point to get her to listen to him. And I know it’s after he’s been hurt but my god)

That’s why (and Ik this wasn’t in ur ask) but that scene where Laila says Jean can’t lie to them because they’re his people also kinda rubs me the wrong way? Because like 1.) he can’t lie bc he’s never been allowed to before and 2.) it’s more like they push and he gets angry enough to correct them. (Ex: I didn’t ask)

But back to ur ask I would love to see Rhemann go head to head with Kevin lol.

"I'm speechless" "I'm disturbed" "I'm horrified" "I'm shocked" by the way this fandom treats Jimin, says so called "army".

No you aren't. You aren't none of those things cause you've sat back and watched it get worse and worse and watched tkk and Jimin antis ass manipulate and grow in packs targeting Jimin which then gave everyone else confidence enough to go after him, when they saw nothing happened to them. You are pretending to be outraged, to make yourself feel better for how badly its gotten and seeing now its starting to truly hinder Jimin's career and achievements. His own fandom mass voting against him to lose awards, while pretending its to support another member. BTW the same member who has been up for awards by himself and never had mass banning together to get him those awards, but suddenly he's up against this fandom's biggest rival Jimin and suddenly they care and want him to "win" Yeah right. They want Jimin to lose. This fandom has never lifted a finger for Jimin, even refusing to stream for him to keep from free falling. So don't act surprised now hypocrites. You are trying to clear your conscious and it's not happening. Congrats for giving antis a safe space to hate on Jimin. Now he is suffering in every way. This fandom thinks they're slick, but we all see through them.

I wanted to clarify, but I think you probably knew what I meant, the ask I sent about being appalled, shocked, etc, and this fandom pretending, was not directed to you. It was more me agreeing with you and venting toward this fandom and how they treat Jimin bad or turn a blind eye to the hate, but then turn around and act surprised, like they haven't watched it for years. Anyways, wanted to clarify that, but I think you probably knew what I meant lol.

(I got what you meant! But clarification is also always appreciated lol! 😭)

Being active in this fandom these past few weeks really has me feeling like this

I’m sorry for yapping about negative stuff so much on this blog lately 😭 I’m going to use your ask just to talk about this whole situation real fast, because yeah, it’s crazy.

About ARMYs turning a blind eye -- I watched a big JM biased account post something about people shading JM only to promptly delete because she got a little pushback from her moots. That goes to show you a lot of people in this fandom prioritize their following numbers & cliques over actually protecting the BTS members and speaking up when the fandom is being weird. Which... we've known for a long time. That passivity is what allowed the rotten parts of our fandom to grow so large and for the resentment towards Jimin to go on so long unchecked. It’s beyond frustrating to watch, so I feel you on that.

I will say that it has been nice to see quite a few even non-solos sticking up for Jimin though. I don’t know if it’s just my timeline but I’ve been surprised by the amount of pushback (not on voting for NJ, just on not abandoning JM or calling out the nastiness towards him) when I expected none. I just saw a decently big account who posted voting proof for Jimin (and NJ) and I was surprised? So you know what, I’ll take it. I wish people would have spoken up before things got to this point, but the silver lining is that at least we’re seeing a lot of support for Jimin overall. On the flipside, I literally got blocked by a few people just for saying that the fandom was acting weird towards Jimin (with proof) 🥴

But yeah… this situation… ARMYs are literally unleashing all the guilt they feel towards RL onto this one vote. The AMAs have now become symbolic for what they see as the ML (some ppl have flat out said Jikook, or even just JM) favoritism in the fandom and the RL neglect. All their angst and frustration around those topics (which I believe are misguided) is being poured onto this one vote. It’s why they’re so hostile about it.

For a portion of them, Jimin winning would literally represent protecting the status quo of unfairness & lack of support they feel for the RL (I’ll never understand why some of them act like Jikook are stealing streams and support from RL, but whatever). So yeah, some of them really, actively don’t want him to win — which is crazy! None of that baggage should have been placed on this one random AMA award. Some ARMYs intentionally started the discourse this way because they wanted to “take a stand for RL”. It was just brainless, irresponsible, or maybe coming from some, intentionally malicious idk.

They’ve also turned it into a fight against solos and diets. Some ARMYs are even saying “we can’t let solos win” “we can’t keep letting diets/solos manipulate us”. I guess Jimin winning, and supporting Jimin, is seen as solo behavior now? Apparently calling out antis is ALSO solo behavior? They literally get mad when you point out people are being weird towards JM because they don’t want to give solos any validation, acknowledge that ARMYs aren't perfect or because idk they don’t want to be bothered I guess? Or because it conflicts with their manipulative victimization narrative they’re trying to push so hard by lying about MAMA.

Anyways, they’re doing this whole “taking a stand for RL” thing, but what they’re taking a stand against is Jimin winning an award… ? 😭 do they not see how weird that is, and how potentially problematic framing it that way is? ARMYs over-associating Jimin with his solos has been such a massive issue all of CH2 (again, even HYBE mentioned it) and the reaction to this vote feels like the culmination of that (if JM wins get ready for a fandom implosion like you’ve never seen before).

& yeah the MAMA history revision is just… infuriating and I’m seeing so many people doing that? So many ARMYs trying to push the “fandom fave” allegations on JM (acting like there wouldn’t be fighting if the fandom decided to focus on him). It’s crazy because anyone who has actually been supporting him knows it’s been a constant fight, every award, every nomination, every milestone, all of his charting. Yes, he has some insane achievements and support, but damn it’s always a battle and it’s exhausting. Not a single award he’s been nominated for hasn’t been met with some sort of complaint or struggle from ARMYs. Only iheart (but all the jkk drama) and ARMYs ignored that one so… and every time he wins or achieves something there's ALWAYS a section of the fandom openly bitter about it.

Seeing people say “oh it was so easy to focus on one member when it was JM” no it wasn’t???? MAMA was a mess, and don’t even get me started on TMA where even that one voting fanbase (the only one who has officially endorsed this current strategy, go figure lol) was refusing to support him and laughing about another artist winning over him. omg, it’s so annoying to see so many people push that narrative.

I’m also going to say real fast how incredibly nasty, sinister, and manipulative it is that so many ARMYs are not only gaslighting about MAMA, but lying about why people are upset on this current situation. It has clearly ALWAYS been pushback on the people being openly anti towards Jimin and pushing shady narratives (that he has “enough” awards, that he “deserves it less”, insulting his artistry, outright shading him, fandom fave allegations, etc). It has also been frustration at being labeled an anti for wanting to support him at all.

This has been clear and well articulated from the beginning but a lot of ARMYs are like… sociopathically gaslighting the fandom about it? I’ve literally seen people up and down quotes with ss evidence saying “this is what we’re upset about” and ARMYs pretending they’re blind and continue making these hit victimization posts about “why are you guys calling us jm antis for voting for namjoon!”. No one is doing that??? ahdogaidgdghh it’s crazy. They are straight up ignoring all the people sharing literal screenshot proof of why we’re upset and inventing some scenario that never happened? 😭

It’s also ironic to see some ARMYs say things like ML biased are “obsessed with awards” and are “greedy” and “don’t want any of the other members to have anything”. It’s clearly projection because they’re the ones obsessed with those things? These people are losing their minds and being openly shady towards Jimin over awards and streams, as if having less of those things is the peak of unfairness. Meanwhile all of the BTS members chart their releases on global Spotify, have had multiple solo songs on billboard hot100, have sold over one million albums. Jhope is literally on a sold out solo tour that’s being met with an insane amount of enthusiasm…

It apparently doesn’t matter that Namjoon has had the most critically acclaimed and recognized solo album of CH2 because he doesn’t have a major fan voted popularity award (btw he does have a fan voted popularity award, just not a MAJOR one) so ARMYs hate him and his solo career is tragic and he cries himself to sleep every night and he’s a flop apparently. Do they hear themselves? Like yeah a conversation is to be had about supporting RL better, but the victimization is also crazy (and they are basically insulting Namjoon constantly with some of these narratives?).

And it’s funny how quick they are to lecture people on how “the BTS members aren’t competing against each other!” but they’ll be the first ones to compare their streams to complain about unfairness? It’s so bizarre and bitter. I’ve said it before but a lot of them use Jimin as the goalpost and measuring stick for the other members. If he achieves something others should be able to achieve it as well or it’s deemed unfair and favoritism (eg the whole billion club situation).

Do they not see what a toxic environment that creates and how much resentment it places on Jimin (and JK)? First of all, it’s highly illogical to compare them and their stats like that, but it’s also just directly pitting them against each other? (also no surprise the billion club gang are the ones who set the weird tone for this current discourse lol)

And the kicker is that Namjoon winning this one vote is not going to solve anything or change fandom culture, but a lot of them see it as some fix-all for the RL situation. I've seen some of them say that this would be a turning point 😭 you're right they don't care about Namjoon or they would have already been voting for the other award he's been nominated for (barely anyone is) and they'd be streaming his music more. I'm very curious what the debut streams will be for his collab after all these hit tweets about how important supporting "our leader" is and how he "deserves better". And that's no shade on him, I'm just pointing out how disingenuous some ARMYs are being over this vote when they have no plans on properly supporting him once it's over.

And the cult mentality is really off the charts with this situation. I forgot to mention, but I have no problem with the fandom deciding to focus on Namjoon. I understand the reasoning behind that and think it’s fair, although it is establishing a potentially problematic precedent (deciding one member has “enough awards” and all that). But trying to actively dissuade and bully people from voting for Jimin is taking it way too far. Also calling anyone who goes against a voting strategy decided on by one problematic fanbase and a handful of self appointed fandom leaders an anti is ridiculous. So if you don’t immediately fall in line with these random people you get witch hunted? Like, who do they think they are? It’s such an insane power trip, what controlling, audacious behavior. We’re not a dictatorship? There are no “fandom leaders”? And no, the fanbases did not “decide on a strategy” I've only seen one agree with it. It's not the same situation as MAMA where ALL the voting fanbases agreed on the strategy because it was the same strategy we’ve been following forever based on an objective criteria.

Anyways I’m voting for Jimin. I’m not going to pretend that I was ever NOT voting for Jimin lol, but still. I’m never going to let someone tell me I’m less of an ARMY for wanting to support my bias (which is only not allowed if your bias is Jikook apparently). It’s for some reason not okay to vote for a member just because you like their solo work, you have to vote based on an arbitrary system built around victimization and pity that a handful of self-appointed leaders suddenly decided on. Again, I don’t think the rationale for choosing Namjoon was bad or wrong, it’s the hostility and the expectation to entirely fall in line or be labeled a diet or solo.

If I want to vote for Jimin simply because I prefer his solo music (or for any reason) that doesn’t make me or anyone else less of an ARMY or means that I don’t care about Namjoon or that I'm a diet (a word they are really weaponizing these days). They can miss me with that manipulative cult bullshit. Anyone who thinks that way, I hope they wake up and realize that support for BTS does not need to be weighed and quantified like that. If you show any support even just by checking out a song one time, you’re an ARMY. Honestly you’re an ARMY just through liking BTS, you don’t have to do or be anything more than that. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to focus on supporting your bias in the literal solo era 😭 some ARMYs actually do understand this, but not the ones on Twitter.

Also I didn’t talk about this but the fandom is now overrun with HL diets who do all the things they accuse ML diets of doing, they just get away with it by hiding behind the guilt ARMYs feel for HL. I wonder if they realize how harmful their narratives are to the people they supposedly stan, because trying to constantly paint RL as sad losers instead of very successful soloists with a lot of achievements, worth, respect, and popularity is certainly a choice, but whatever.

anyways I’m a lot calmer about all of this now than it seems 😭 but this has definitely been a train wreck and I think really shattered this already broken fandom even further. Genuinely nothing against Namjoon because I wouldn’t mind seeing him win an award like this, but I’d really like to see these particular bully wannabe faux leader ARMYs be humbled, and it would be heartening to imagine the support Jimin receives outweighs his antis by a lot. And I'd like to see the fandom fallout of that, ngl.

[jiminjeonging]

okay your blog is my comfort place so let me just get this out of my system along with everyone else so I never have to think about it ever again.

Karina is not a naive girl, which for some reason, everyone paints her out to be. She’s been in the industry long enough to know how dating rumors can negatively impact an idols career. With that being said, she 100% knew that she was being set up to be in a dating scandal with ljw. Whether she agreed to it fully or not, we will never know.

People keep pointing fingers at it being a promotional stunt to promote their upcoming album/drama, but that literally makes no sense to me because they’re both so successful in their own careers. I think there’s bigger players here that we don’t know about and the ulterior motives will remain unknown.

It’s just odd how dispatch would release the announcement that they’re dating, have absolutely no picture proofs (not even one?? 😭) and then both companies confirming the relationship shortly after. Everything sounds so forced and abrupt and unlike any other idols whose relationships got exposed.

Like when dispatch revealed that joy and crush were dating, they had picture proof of them together on dates and they both shortly went on their ig pages to confirm said relationship. Karina’s apology that she posted didn’t even address that she was in a rs or “meeting someone with good feelings” if anything, I felt like it was void of any real emotion and it was something that she was forced to post in order to diffuse the situation .

The kpop industry is and always will be a business. It’s always going to be about profiting the most and taking advantage of the pawns on the board so the higher ups can reap all the benefits. I’m sure all idols know this themselves. It’s just unfortunate to see it happening with our own very two eyes and watch the events unfold right in front of us.

i agree with you on ppl keep painting jm to be naive or downright dumb sometimes which pisses me off ngl. i think ppl took it too far with stupid cheese cat or just calling her a loser that they started to believe that its true. like ofc i call her those stuff too affectionately but because of this ppl act like jm cant be ambitious or want things for herself. ofc you can keep calling her that and i will too but ppl need to realize shes not some 2d angel character but an actual human being with dreams which she would do anything to achive.

i dont think jm agreed willingly. you can tell by how much she wanted to distance herself from it (dead to romance cap, tagging mj to her glasses bcs ppl thought it was a couple item, singing wanegbt, saying she'll come in the morning but break news dropping instead etc) and i dont think her apology was devoid from emotion. korean speakers talked about how beautiful it was and kmys that were mad at her(hope they die) all came back saying" i love you jimin ofc i forgive you this made me cry. " high chance she was advised to post it but her emotions were real and this doesnt prove dating news really at the end of the day she caused stress for the fans and she was sorry for that no matter the reason. i wish she didnt have to feel this way but she does. she always comes to bbl too when this ungreatful fandom complains about something.

yeah kpop is all business we will never know how much the idols show us is real. at the end of the day all we can do is speculate

🌎 OPERATION HOT CHIMP V2

V1 was rolled out with some criticizng remarks. Some unfortunate stuff has been said to/about myself, but Im willing to overlook it in the spirit of mcr. With that said, I have redesigned the rules and i think there fair. I took you peoples thoughts into considertion even thoug most of you were rude, but lets set that aside to focus on July 26, the.........

WORLD WIDE DANGER DAYS BLAST 💥🤯🤯

On July 26 we're going to post fics, hcs, art, cosplays, vids etc to show ppl that were back with a force 💣👏 Ive set some ground rules for OPERATION HOT CHIMP and all DD content going forward. Lets face it, DD is in shambles but this will place us at the top of the fandom:

🦍 You CAN say you wanna fuck the witch, but idk why you WOULD.

🦍 OC names should be no more than 3 words. Any more than that and your just playin yourself

🦍 OC names should be more original in general, for example mine is Ricky Bobby, its funny, reference to my fav will ferell movie etc.

🦍 No more sayin that Kobra Kid is 🇬🇧british. Im not budgin on that one bcuz it makes no sense. WHy would brits be in california. All flights are grounded, no cruise ships etc. What do you people thnk the end of the world is, its not "la dee da" land

🦍 If you write/draw stuff about the four you HAVE to include the girl. Some of you agree (thank you) so Im keepin this one.

🦍 No makin fun of me, OR ANYONE ELSE for any reason

Ok so I think this is pretty fair to everyone. Call it CODENAME GORILLA when your around non-DD ppl (normies). We're going to blow their minds with the biggest blast the MCRmy has ever seen🤯🤯 July 26, write it down 📝

No this is not a joke....someone needs to straighten things up around here....might as well be me🤌

As Ricky Bobby said shake....and BAKE🤛

Oh my god I got it again 😭

*cracks knuckles*

The one story I’ve posted on here doesn’t have the girl in it so I’ve already failed that lmfao. She’s not supposed to be in it, I like to think they all left her in safe hands in the desert while they (spoiler alert ahead) attempt to avenge Ghost in the city. Would love to see more things with the girl tho across the fandom, I agree there. She needs to be in more things

BRITS CAN BE IN CALIFORNIA 😭 brits could’ve come to the us and California before all the events in DD even happened. Personally I don’t hc Kobra to be British but it is a funny joke in the fandom and a funny hc some people have 😭

WITCHFUCKER WEDNESDAY!!!! WE LOVE IT!!!

Anyways. The thing is I just don’t agree with setting rules for ALL content regarding DD

They left the canon loose enough for all of us to run wild with our imaginations when it comes to both the canonical characters and our ocs

The charm of DD is that the canon is so loose that we are able to say what we want and create what we want! And that’s awesome!

I’m sorry that there’s been people being rude to you. But I, and I’m sure I speak for everyone else here too, just don’t agree with setting ground rules for something that was left so loose for us to run wild with our imaginations

[beartitled]

Hello there!! I was looking through some of the discord shenanigans posts and I was just wondering if you’re accepting new members?

Hi! Well first of all, glad you enjoyed the comics! It means a lot to know that you enjoyed those silly shenanigans ❤️

Sadly I’ve already left the server recently, so can’t really help much 🤷

For ppl curious my rambling, as always, will be under read more👇

As for you question:

the server’s called “TSP creators club”

yes, I believe they still accept new members, you can contact @/kelpiekidd or @/heckinrissa I think (not tagging them, to not disturb them)

They’re mods there, should help with it 🤷

This might sound weird to some ppl bc I was heavily associated with TSPcc

To be frank I wouldn’t be where I am right now, if not TSPcc: I would’ve never stuck with The Stanley Parable for as long as I did, never could’ve met so many wonderful creative people (many of whom are my friends right now)

+the server kick-started my recognition as a creator

For that I’m thankful and still look back at this part of my life with a warm smile

But nothing can last forever

(god I’m saying it like something horrible happened, which is not the case)

Basically

The reasons are mostly the same as why I left the TNP fic*: I’m not active on the server + most of my friends left from there

(*TNP - The Narrative Parable fanfic – a collaborative project involving many other creators and narrators)

So um yea, this might not be enough of a reason

But I will not do a whole comic on “The history of TSP fandom” right 📓🖋️

(oh wait I might actually 😭💥 you will maybe get this joke far in the future)

___________________

I also want to address

Discord Shenanigans aged, quite a lot

I do not regret making those comics, I still like them to this day

But

That content is not something I want to be known for, to me, it’s part of the past

I look back at them as archived memories

They are like an old photo album of sorts 📒

____________________

This does not mean I’m leaving TSP fandom

Want to be clear on that one

I still enjoy the game and the community it built around itself

Yes I still enjoy the fandom, despite meaningless drama in the community that ruins the fun for everyone

(It’s my first fandom I was a part of, I’m biased ok 😈)

‼️ I do not justify any messed up people who are or were in the fandom ‼️

What I’m trying to say that drama/creepy people are just part of any fandom experience honestly

I totally understand people who just don’t want to be a part of the fandom, it’s reasonable and valid. I’ve heard some really messed up stuff, I don’t know the full extent of every situation and don’t want to discuss it. I don’t believe I have the right, nor the information to even mention it. Creeps are not a fandom’s problem, creeps are just a problem.

And if people don’t want to address those situations: do not harass them with questions. If people want to address their experience or thoughts, they will. If they don’t want to start drama/don’t feel comfortable/just simply don’t want to - you should respect their decision. No person is obligated to report anything to the crowd.

On the side note (since I can’t shut up) - Barry

I kinda 👀

I kinda wanna explore him as a character and tell the story I made for him 👀✨

I will make a separate post about him later down the road

But as for now: yes the potential story revolves around tsp + Narratorverse aspects, yes I may abandon that idea bc of how complicated it is, yes I’m talking and overthinking too much - we will get there when we get there 🤚

So I’m still here, I still care about tsp creators: they do amazing stuff and they are wonderful people

As always sorry for that scroll of text 👉👉 thanks for your time, see you in the next random huge text post 👋

[soup-scope]

I def think its unfair to call ppl who dislike her or talk about her harmful actions misogynistic, I also think theres an aspect of misogyny to people who are downplaying her actions. shes cool! id love to see how her mind works and if she tries to justify what she did or knows it was a bad move

I did not say you’re misogynistic if you dislike Alexis. Where are you getting this from.

If you feel the need to hide behind anon whenever you say anything remotely negative to a creator, I think you should just. Not send an ask then. (I understand to an extent if they’re a huge creator or smth but I’m. Not. I don’t think ur at risk of harassment or smth. If anything if helps *ME* out cause then we could have this convo in the dms or smth. Instead of you putting words i haven’t said into *my* mouth. On *my* blog.)

Anyways the point of that paragraph is to say my dms are open if you ever want clarification on any of my viewpoints and that I think hiding behind anon on this blog is dumb cause only like two people pay attention to my opinions on here and even interact with my content when it isn’t art based.

Back to the point at hand.

I think I know what you’re referencing, and you’re taking it completely wrong and running off a cliff with a point I never made.

What I THINK you’re talking about. Is a comment I made saying smth along the lines of “I don’t hate Alexis as much as I could because she’s a woman.” And to explain that. That’s smth I always do with fictional women lmao.

And I also mention that the reason why I do that, is because in many fandom spaces (including redacted) many people tend to enter misogynistic zones when they hate female characters. You’re allowed to dislike female characters‼️‼️ but I’ve seen people get INCREDIBLY misogynistic with female characters they dislike. When their male counterparts have potentially done worse.

I’m very neutral about Alexis. I don’t care enough about vampires that aren’t Vincent Solaire or Alice Cullen.

You’re allowed to dislike Alexis and her actions. But if you do so while calling her a ‘bitch’ and so with even more vitriol than you’d show someone like Kody? Yeah imma look at u funny.

Every three months the redacted fandom discovers critical thinking and it’s sending me through the fucking roof.

If you have any more questions. I’ll either talk to u in my dms or on the comments of this post or smth. 😭😭

[siltslut]

the following are all c! this is not about critiquing content creators or the writing of the smp. i didn’t get some because they’re either part of the child group or rarely interacted with tommy or i truly don’t remember anything about them

bbh- cared about tommy’s language more than his wellbeing 3/10

connor- i do have to dock points for him immediately moving into tommy’s house after he died but in his defense i would maybe do the same 7/10

dream- haha. hahhahahahahahahahahaha. KYS/10

eret- ok tommy lost his first life because of eret going behind lmanberg’s back BUT she does earn back some respect in my book for creating the history museum. and you could tell that they truly did feel sorry for the whole being a traitor thing. 5/10

fundy- (does he count on this list? was his character technically a child at the time) he and tommy absolutely bonded through their lmanberg-related trauma together and i do feel like if fundy wanted to help tommy out he wasn’t exactly in a position to do so? i think he had some of his own shit going on yk 5/10

george- i wasn’t actually in the fandom during the pet wars but i’m 70% sure george killed tommy’s cow or fish or dog ?? even if he didn’t he sure as hell didn’t stop dream from doing all that shit. i can’t think of a single good thing george did for tommy 0/10

ghostbur- TOMMY’S CLOSEST FRIEND DURING EXILE!! ACTUALLY PROVIDED THE POOR KID SOME COMFORT!! WE FINALLY GOT ONE LADS!! 9/10

jack- i really like him and tommy’s duo, especially during/after exile. he did actually try to go to logstedshire to make amends but tommy wasn’t having any of it and ended up killing him (i completely forgot abt that until now lmao) similar to connor- it’s a dick move of him to steal tommy’s hotel but. he WAS dead. anyway the 2024 finale with just the two of them really makes me love them a lot more. he’s one of the only characters where you can tell he really sympathizes with tommy, A for effort trying to express that during exile. 8/10 (was gonna be higher but i remembered him and niki were constantly trying to kill him for no fucking reason 😭 funny as fuck though so-)

mexican dream- i think he showed up like twice?? but unironically i think he was a big comfort for tommy during exile and a motivation for him to stay alive. i vaguely remember him being in tommy’s limbo too i hope they had fun bro 8/10

niki- was still involved in the lmanberg group but never really ended up befriending tommy. ah, what could have been! i’m sure they had some decent moments in lmanberg and definitely shared the same concern for wilbur but as stated above she and jack did try to kill tommy for no real reason so i’ve gotta knock her down a few 6/10

phil- this is a tough one. him being new to the server around exile does mean he probably didn’t know enough about tommy to be concerned, especially when he was caught up with wilbur/ghostbur and techno shit. he was also under house arrest for a bit so fair enough i guess 4/10

puffy- another one where you can tell she really did care about tommy but didn’t really do anything to actually keep him safe? idk enough about puffy’s lore so maybe i can let her off the hook by assuming she was too busy too. i always remember her making him a xmas tree during exile and him accidentally calling her pussy <33 6.5/10

punz- all i remember is that he got to say the cool line in the disc finale. otherwise i don’t recall a single conversation between him and tommy so 3/10

quackity- i KNOW i’m forgetting a shit ton here cause i know that they were close. but i think q was a bit busy having like a million polycule struggles and building vegas and mcdonald’s uhhh 4.5/10

sam- i think i’ve said my peace about this fucking guy but to restate: WHY did you let him into the prison in the first place !!!!!!! FUCKING HELLLL 1/10

schlatt- had more of an effect on the pogtopia crew than tommy himself but GOD did he have an effect on the pogtopia crew. 2/10

techno- i know it’s more complex than the way ppl remember it. unfortunately i’m one of those people who loves looking at bedrock bros on a surface level and not delving too far into it. i LIVE for those days right after exile when tommy was staying with him aughhhhhh 7/10

wilbur/revivedbur- the thing is!!! this is the start of all of tommy’s trauma. if tommy had gone through everything he went through with dream without having a close relationship with wilbur first, dreams villainy would be far less effective. wilbur planted those seeds of all of tommy’s self hatred and anxiety only for dream to take it all to the extreme later on. and then revivedbur has the chance to fix this relationship but kinda completely ignores tommy so he can wallow in his own self pity instead. 1/10.

was trying to go to sleep but remembered my almost 3 year long grudge against c!sam. there’s not even a point in trying to sleep now my pure hatred for that guy could fuel a 9 hour fast food shift

[dreaming-of-assclass]

So I was watching/reading AssClass again recently, and my opinions on a lot of things have changed, so here are some updated hot takes 🍵

So you all know I hate the crossdressing jokes, but for the sake of keeping it simple, let’s say Nagisa is ok with his closest friends making them. This still doesn’t make sense imo bc Karma was willing to leave him a year, get creeped out by him, and throughout canon is unwilling to properly communicate with Nagisa. But all of a sudden, he’s a close enough friend to make jokes about crossdressing and feminizing him????? No it doesn’t work that way 😭

Both teams in Civil War are equally valid, now that I think about it more deeply. That said though, I feel like more people should’ve jumped on Karma’s ass and called him out. Bc the way he was acting and his anger just went far past jealousy imo.

One thing about me is that I am a sucker for “feminine” female characters. Ok, like I get that 99% of this fandom loves Rio, Hazama, Hayami, etc. But my heart will always belong to the soft girls like Okuda n Kanzaki

Nagisa is actually such an interesting character and I love him now. But I feel like he’s popular for the worst reasons :(

Terasaka was extremely pivotal in grounding Nagisa’s humanity and morality, not just in Island arc but throughout the whole series.

I want to really like Maehara x Okano, but honestly it hurts in an irl sense 💔 Like the whole vibe of not being given the importance of being desired as an actual girlfriend, rather than a fling or friend :( I feel bad for Okano, and she deserves better than that.

Korosensei and Aguri did love each other, but I can’t label it as a typical “romantic” kind of love. I feel like it went so much deeper than that, like soul bonding or something. I think they both had immense impact on each other, and that’s what’s most significant about their bond.

I really don’t wanna sound like the judgey type, you know. To each their own. But some of the ships and relationship ideas some ppl in this fandom have, make me wonder if we watched/read the same series.

I always used to talk about how Kayano was robbed, and I’ll keep saying it. She deserved to be a more fully fleshed out female character. And this means accepting her very real flaws, not making her a “girlboss” or throwing her under the bus for the sake of ships.

Karma is one of the more selfless characters in AssClass, and I feel like in this sense, he and Nagisa are two sides of the same coin.

Sugino is Nagisa’s bestie, periodt.

Nakamura gets on my nerves at times lmao. I’m sorry, but I think it’s just her vibe. I’m not a fan of irl ppl like her

Maehara is just as bad as Okajima. In a sense, he might be even worse given that he sees dating girls and cheating in a commodified lens. Don’t forget it just bc he’s conventionally attractive lmfao 💀

The final takeover of the mountain is one of the best arcs in the whole series, no cap. It does an even better job than Civil War in granting 3-E equal attention, showcasing their skills, and displaying the found family that’s been built. And Nagisa and Karma’s high-five while Terasaka yells at them is adorable.

[kuntniss]

so real. yeah, 'plot twist' byler and all but i think some ppl just ignore the extent of homophobia and its effects. this doesn't only have to do with the ships. it is very much affecting real life people and actors. the homophobia noah's faced was not good, and not ever once the writers said something about it. ''but they already show their stance on the show by portraying bigots as villains.'' bestie.... i do not really know what to tell you BUT that really does not say anything in terms of making a necessary statement to stop the actors/irl people from getting hurt. and the caleb stuff has been dirty and disgusting. caleb was like... 13 years old or maybe even younger when the racism against him and lucas were very 'popular' within the fandom.

re: this

then when they do address (if you can even call it that) racism, look how the fandom treats billy? they literally do not care that he wanted to kill a young black boy or that he’s just a shitty guy in general 😭 this fandom is full of dumbasses and bitches who make excuses for every white man on the planet. troy & his friends made a racist remark in st1 too and that went over peoples heads and again, wasn’t brought up after. like they just don’t care lmao, it’s that simple. it literally is not activism or hard to do to just tell people to chill the fuck out. no one’s asking for them to join a fuckin protest, the least they can do is acknowledge the amt of shit caleb and noah and their characters get like… and i feel like half the people in this fandom would be like “oh well you shouldn’t baby bigots they know they’re shitty” and yeah they’re right in a way but a lot of them ARE ignorant and dumb as fuck and truly think they’re correct, not to mention like… a statement isn’t babying anyone. it’s to protect the actors that are dealing with this shit because of them. and the way you absolutely know they wouldn’t address it still if byler wasn’t endgame even with the amt of homophobia that would come about because of that… yeah lmao. they’re not trying to resist coddling and spoon feeding bigots. they just don’t care enough. even mentioning it in some interview or whatever the fuck would be better than just acting like we’re all best friends… idk.

[lesbiancarat]

i saw a tweet hating on big carat twt accts because “all they care about is their aesthetic and not about telling others to stream” HUUUUHHHH maybe they just don’t care about streaming at all and literally these accts don’t even have an “aesthetic” to maintain, they’re just shitposting and being a normal fan 😭😭😭 and even with member update accts you’d see streaming accts trying to guilt trip the admins by saying “you have so many followers it’s a shame you don’t call on carats to stream” ……. it’s behavior i will never understand

the irony of it all is that those big accounts that just post regular memes/updates/funny tweets probably unintentionally do more to promote svt than any of those streaming or voting accounts do anyway. like while the direct goal of streaming/voting is to get more views or awards or to win a silly little poll, in the grand scheme of things the main goal is to bring more attention to the group. but i'd argue that a funny tweet going viral is more likely to bring in more fans than an account yelling at ppl who already stan the group that they're not a good enough fan or whatever

and i've talked about this before, but while streaming might make a difference in views, it's not by orders of magnitude. like the reason dwc has 200M views is not bc carats streamed extra hard that era, it's bc it became super popular among non-carat kpop stans. like at the end of the day what matters isn't the views or awards, what matters is how many ppl know the group and what they know about them. the reasons views and awards are talked about is bc it's one way to gauge how many ppl are paying attention to the group

but like even if all the streaming/voting did make a genuine difference, so what? being a fan isn't a job. the whole point of fandom is to have fun. it's an idol's/musician's job to entertain. and like yeah as fans we want our idols to do well, but why act like it's a crime that fans are just enjoying themselves and having fun and not spending every day stressing about numbers?

honestly i understand the mentality somewhat bc i went through a streaming phase back in the day. u get so focused on the numbers and the goal and u think about all the people that could be helping but aren't and it means you "have" to work harder, etc, etc. but at the end of the day it's just putting stress on yourself for basically no reason

like let the pledis/hybe staff worry about numbers and awards. they're the ones getting paid for it. we're here to have fun, so just let ppl have fun lol

[mobiused]

same anon who talked about being accepted as a global evaluator, i joined a group chat on twitter for orbits who were accepted to be global evaluators bc i saw it was a thing and. man i forgot how intense twitter orbits are lslfksklfkek i literally never use twitter other than to look for updates on loona and this is reminding me why 💀💀💀 i just wanna chill and have fun but they’re all like WE’RE DOING A TEST ZOOM CALL AT 8:30 KST MAKE SURE YOU JOIN. USE OUR VOTING STRATEGY WHEN THE TIME COMES OR THE GIRLS WILL LITERALLY DIE. exaggerating on that last one obv but like why can’t they chill it’s not that serious 😭 i’m not getting up earlier than i have to (my time zone has a 12 hour difference) just to join a test call lmao. also the general guilting on twitter about ppl not streaming enough or not making a shit ton of voting accounts is just wild to me like…..sorry some of us have jobs or just straight up don’t have the energy to devote to doing that and it doesn’t mean we love loona any less??? it’s just counterproductive i feel bc if they make people feel like they aren’t doing enough it can have the effect of making people want to do it even LESS. anyway this kinda went off topic at the end and got real long but my main point is that twitter is scary and i’d rather just come here to get loona updates from u mobi 🖤

p.s. i’m gonna do my best to record the performance somehow 🫶🏻 i should’ve looked into good screen recording software sooner and i’m way too tired to do it now so hopefully i have time to do it when i get up but if i have to hide my phone and point it at the screen and do it that way. then that’s what i gotta do 😔

LOL just do what i did and get OBS and screen record 👍

though yeah, i think for some of these people organising fandom things it's like a hobby for them, they can't force you to participate but it's just their weird way of having fun and feeling useful. though we could really do without the guilt tripping... i guess this is an issue for everyone, but orbits seem especially bad at projecting their issues about love being conditional (love isnt weighed by who streams the most =__=💢) but it's like whatever. totally get why it might feel even more demotivating to see people trying to guilt you into spending your time and energy on "making the girls happy". fandom has seriously gotten so cultish

[jayflrt]

yeah!!! my hs is like... one of the best advanced programs in the nation, i'm pretty sure? like we partner with 4 community colleges and you can graduate with associates if you get enough credits (i'll be like 12 short)

i woke up at 6 am since elementary school-10th grade but now??? gl getting me up before noon consistently LMAO

xiao my king <333 i saved for him for 5 months when i was f2p. i spend money now but... yeah... he also has like.. 160-180 er i think? like he can fully ult bot and live on his own w/o a battery, just needs a healer or the nre. i want to min max and get rid of his elemental mastery rolls on his artifacts and get him above 200 crit dmg SO bad

omg that's so fun. i started writing (fanfic, at least, i wanted to be an author when i was eight and wrote really bad original works) on quotev and i used to roleplay 🗿🗿🗿make harry potter and pjo ocs in ~exclusive~ groups you had to pass a test to get in.

that sounds so fun!!!! i wanted to make like... a discord of my moots but then i remembered only like... 3 of them know each other and i'm too introverted to link a bunch of people together HELP

taeyong fr has such a DROUGHT on this site like. where is my boy?? where is he?? can anyone find my boy and write fics for him (other than brooke (shout out to her for carrying tyongf on her back))???

i'm excited for taeil's too!! "there's a son of apollo named after the moon" where reader is a child of hecate and you exhaust yourself using the mist and he heals you and you slowly fall for him <3

there r two child of hermes (mark and hyuck 4lyfers), child of thanatos, etc. and i'm trying to make it so the reader is related to one of the members in each fic, so every y/n is like a different person that could stand on their own and interact !!!

like in taeyong's (i fall for a man who talks to plants), you're a child of ares and doyoung is your brother, and he has a crush on a child of aphrodite (who will be y/n in doie's fic)

i think the most my long fics get is like.. 100? maybe 200 if i'm lucky HELPPPP

but i enjoy writing them so. sorry to my following u're getting long fics anyways <3

omg that’s so cool !! i’m sure that’s rlly useful for when you start college too 🤧 mine was partnered with the community college in our area but i only took like 3-4 classes, though i do have friends that got their associate degrees during their senior year !! :’) i believe it was 60 credits for an associate (18 credits of major classes i think)

i don’t even remember when i woke up during elementary 😵‍💫 i don’t think i even woke up on my own until high school tho bc i didn’t have a smart phone until then and i used to be such a heavy sleeper LOL i lowkey still am but i think i’m just considerably easier to wake up than my roommate 🥲🥲

HAHAH i was f2p until childe’s banner and then i whaled a little for him 🤧 and ofc getting welkin but i don’t rlly consider that whaling. omg yeah i usually keep xiao in a second team with jean :’)) but i wanna build yanfei ganyu zhongli and keqing better before i focus on him 💗💗

PASS A TEST HAHAHH is it like facts from the books or something 😭😭 i don’t remember how old i was when i started writing but i kept my writing to myself for a long time and then started posting on wattpad when i was like 11 ?? and then i went through fandom phases LOLL

HAHAHA you still should !! tbh i don’t think everyone in my friend group knew each other well when it was first made :o i was in a group with cat, nikki, and ace initially and then we expanded by adding ppl we talked with often in our server LOL but i still knew of them bc some of them were/are pretty big on wattpad :o

AHH RIGHT 🤧🤧 brooke does write so many of the taeyong fics :oo it’s hard to find sfw taeyong ☹️ tho my friend manx wrote a taeyong fic called sic semper tyrannis a while ago which is soooo good 🤩 probably one of the best taeyong fics i’ve read !! 💗💗 and then “flowers in your hair” by @/solarune was also so cute !! 🌸

AHHH TAEIL ANOTHER MEMBER I BARELY SEE FICS FOR ☹️💗 but that’s so cute !! son of apollo definitely suits him <33 and i get what you mean !! i did smthn similar for my nct series — mc for jaemin’s installment was jaehyun’s younger sister, and that was alluded to in other installments as well + many of the members appear in each other’s fics (ex. mark being in jaehyun and johnny’s installments as well as getting his own) 🤧

100 notes is still so much !! just thinking ab it like :oo that’s 100 individuals leaving their love on your fic 🥰 it’s crazy to think about tbh 😵‍💫

[chanstopher]

hii dreamy!! just wanted to say i love your gifs and content in general so so so much!!!! and you seem like a nice person who's also not afraid to call out people's bullshit which i appreciate because sometimes you just have to put your foot down and be like 'okay now stop being weird and an asshole in my askbox' you know 😭 anyway again i looooove your content thank you for sharing it and your love for chan with us 💓 i wish i had more courage (and time tbh) to make kpop/skz gifs, i feel so lost most of the time and like what i make isn't that good, and i know if i kept giffing kpop i'd get better but i don't feel like people care to see my gifs, i'm a pretty small blog... so i just get stuck in this 'my gifs aren't good enough and no one cares enough for me to try and get better at it' mindset :(( sorry for dumping all this on you i came here literally just to compliment and thank you rsdxjbk have a good day dreamy!!

omg ok first thank you so much for your sweeet words they mean so much to me. i know that sounds like the generic appropriate response but i really mean it, having ppl enjoy not just my content but me just being myself is really so important to me and it really makes me feel so happy. but about not feeling like ur content is worthy, i’m gonna tell you i struggle with that every single day bestie. if i let myself delete content i end up thinking is ugly, or if i only posted things i felt confident in this blog wouldn’t have like 90% of the content it does. and you are right that if you just practice things can get better, and i know it sounds ridiculous coming from a blog that does get notes but making content really is for yourself at the end of the day. i also think that when it comes to gif making people are both afraid to give constructive criticism to help others improve and get any kind of criticism because it’s something you put effort into already. sometimes i see content and i want to be like oh hey if you just adjust this setting your gifs wouldn’t be so grainy or like if you use this you can adjust the coloring better. but it feels mean (even though i never have those thoughts in a mean way) and also hypocritical cause i don’t like a lot of my own stuff for the same reasons xjxndn i don’t think you should give up on making content tho, i think most people would be willing to give tips or tutorials on how they do things to help make your gifs come out how you want them. also everyone starts out as a small blog, this blog is only like 2 1/2 years old and i think the only thing that truly matters if you want your following to grow is presence. i think posting consistently (not all the time just frequently enough to be in tags enough for ppl to start to remember your url) and being a vocal part of the fandom is all it takes. i personally find myself drawn to following blogs of people who talk about themselves, or express their thoughts on things more than say someone who makes content and is completely silent or just negative. i think having people learn about you is important to growing. now i’m not saying sharing your entire life, but for a silly example the number of times i see ppl in my tags being like “oh i bet dreamy giffed this for how his nose looked” because i’m so crazy about chris’ nose makes me feel nice, like someone is associating something with me specifically. i hope that makes any sense lmao, i think it just makes ME feel like the people i’m interacting with are real and i think that’s what people want out of blogs, a connection even if it’s a little one sided. sorry this is so long winded but my POINT is you shouldn’t feel intimidated or discouraged by the idea of making content just because your blog is small or you don’t think your content is “good enough” the beginning of creating and really starting to find your place in a fandom space is always the hardest, but the rewards of finding friends and learning how to get better at making content is really worth it. it’s given me a lot of my best friends outside of fandom, and it’s given me skills i’ve used outside of tumblr, so i cannot really praise it enough. ok i am shutting up now but if you ever want help or advice i’m totally here for you 🖤🤍
