A Big Ramble About Tiktok

right. as much as i think there are a lot of issues with tiktok, the US ban is genuinely terrifying in terms of how much content will be lost once the servers go down. there are so many phenomenal creators and videos on that platform who have come from the US, and it is heartbreaking to see them go. i know there are more platforms, but there is so much content that is only found in tiktok, and a distinct genre and culture of videos tog you can find there and like that will be gone for millions of people

obviously the world isn’t only the US and there will still be people posting but the chance of the US starting a chain reaction is quite high which is kinda terrifying

the communities, especially queer spaces and fandom spaces on tiktok are a safe haven for so many people i know from the US, and there are so many amazing advocates for queer rights who post there and it feels a lot like censorship that they can’t post there anymore, especially with the state of reels/youtube shorts (both places make me sick when i open comments sections)

idk i’m pretty much just rambling here but i always get sad when i see servers being shut in places and millions of videos being wiped from the internet (obviously never fully because it’s the internet but my point still stands). it’s so scary to think about what direction this could take the world, and whether more social media apps will be banned in a similar fashion but hopefully it gets overturned or somewhere new comes around but ye

social media is so important in the modern world and like as much as older people like to say how much it is ruining the world it is such an important aspect of so many things like activism and spreading awareness, as well as creating so many amazing communities and connecting people from all over the world and when governments see this as a negative thing is kind of just makes you question why they want to stop that

Do yall think that like Danny would read the fanfiction people write about him?

Cause I think he would avoid it at first but you know the saying curiosity killed the cat (or bragging killed the fenton. Hey they both get brought back)

Anyway so maybe hes just online, probably tumblr or twitter, and someone is posting a summary and a link. Oh that sounds neat sure lets check it out. Maybe he lets it go to his head in classic teenager style. Sam and Tucker think it’s weird but tbh Danny needs the win.

That or hes completely disgusted by it. He is a real person not some character to be fantasised about. Sam and Tucker tease him about it but totally agree that it’s super weird and gross. I mean people aren’t actively hurting anyone but Danny doesn’t go anywhere near the internet anymore, unless it’s to game and shitpost on twitter. Tucker probably made a huge program to help so none of them have to see the ship art. Again they arent bashing anyone but hes a kid and doesn’t wanna be traumatised anymore thanks.

Idk wtf in goingnon anouy buy it’s 735am and I am so tired but I need to be up a few more hours… wait does this oart go in th tags? Wheres am I

Doing the Thing - A rant I was surprised I was driven to write

Ever since I got on social media, I always wanted to post things.

I never really wanted fame, because it would just make me more anxious, and money, while not unwelcome, I would’ve preferred to earn in a “real job” (idek what’s real anymore I always just liked the idea of having a big boy/in person job don’t listen to me). I wanted to be a part of that community. People posting the art they made, stories based on other stories, pilots they were going to pitch or memes they made just because they could. As brainrot-inducing all of it definitely was, I wouldn’t have survived my teen years or the pandemic without discovering this new world where I could be myself with other people who wanted the same thing.

However, I never posted. Something inside always stopped me. Anything I ever put onto a page, thoughts I actually got out of my system, was immediately deemed not good enough. I decided it didn’t deserve to be seen before anybody saw it, it would stay in my mind where it couldn’t be scrutinized and exist in ignorant bliss. I still wanted to post, though. Not even post sometimes, I just wanted to be able to “do the thing,” so to speak. I kept waiting until I was perfect to do it yet I was too scared to practice and kept pushing my own deadline forward. I saw so many people around me, not just on social media, doing things because they wanted to. Making things for themselves, for small businesses, for their schools, because they wanted to. I was so mad at myself for never being able to execute my ideas despite believing deep down that they were never good enough to exist.

This mentality has followed me for way too many fucking years, and, due to my fear of turning eighteen and anxiety about the how the world will end, I’ve finally convinced myself what I always refused to believe:

Nobody cares.

I’m sure this is common knowledge by now, but I’m a slightly more sheltered person, so bear with me. Nobody cares about what you do. You may think they care because they comment on it, but they only do it because they’re either trying to convince themselves something or don’t have anything better to do. If I started posting literally anything tomorrow or in the next five minutes, nobody would stop to analyze why I was doing it or if I was doing it the wrong way. They’d just choose to like it or not and move on with their own lives. I am so sick of feeling so inferior when the world is passing me by. I want to be a part of it before we all get set on fire. Who cares if what I’ve said or done had already been said or done? IM doing it now, I’m making this MY time.

The reason I’m writing this at all is because of TikTok being banned in the US (I’ve heard news of it already being back now, but who knows how long it’ll last). I see these posts from American creators, talking about how TikTok and the community saved their lives and how they never thought they’d get the following that they did just by doing what they loved. I always told myself that I could have an account like that one day, one that would make other people happy or inspired, but I never did out of fear (and undiagnosed adhd + rsd but I don’t like blaming my actions/inactions on disorders I can’t confirm I have). It felt like I lost an opportunity by waiting too long all because I wasn’t “perfect” enough, even though it literally doesn’t matter what you post. I want to show whoever is listening that I am here doing what I want to do, albeit imperfectly and very slowly. I want to draw, write, perform, create, and I’ll be damned if I let another day slip through my fingers. If a source of such happiness/community can be taken away from people that quickly, I don’t want to regret not being a part of it before Canada eventually bans TikTok as well.

I know for a fact that I’m going to back stumble on this new mentality very quickly, especially during this difficult period of high school, but I really just want to do this for my own piece of mind. I want to tell myself that I accomplished something instead of just envisioning it, whether that’s with five or fifty posts of good or bad art.

So today, I’ll be posting some anatomy sketches I did to help study for my animation portfolio for Sheridan College (art account: @marzy-barzy-artzy). I hope whoever reads this sees where I’m coming from, and is inspired to just go out and DO THE THING. This is also a call to watch all those shows you’ve been putting off watching, because who knows when the government will start banning streaming services or shows they find corrupting. Don’t let another Infinity Train slip your fingers. Okay bai!!!

[controversial-blorbo-bracket]

Hey just saying, but if you disqualify aot and (in your words) media with too many problematic properties, you should also disqualify harry potter, hetalia and south park. I get that this is a poll for controversial characters, but imo there's very much a line between "this character is controversial because they are a bad person or badly written in an otherwise okay media which you can enjoy critically" and "this character is controversial because the writers project their own bigoted views onto them and are openly right-leaning shit heads whose media or current presentation reflects this too"

No.

There is a discourse tag, you can read what I’ve already said about this. But I’ll summarize a few for you here anyways. There are specific reasons I removed the things I removed and allowed the things I allowed. Here they are, in roughly increasing order. Under a cut so people who don’t wanna see this/are uncomfortable with it don’t have to.

I tag everything appropriately, so if you don’t want to see something I allowed, block the tag or unfollow me. I promise I won’t be offended if you unfollow.

If a character is controversial for being bigoted or from a bigoted media, they’re obviously not gonna advance to further rounds because hate will sweep. So they will not advance and will be gone democratically, and they will certainly not win.

Even if they DID win, this poll would not be “promoting” these medias anyways because this is not a “best” character competition. It is for the most controversial. I am not presenting these medias in any positive light, let alone the characters from them. This is why these SAME medias (and others) ARE banned from my two other tournaments that try to find the “best” thing.

I CAN’T meaningfully promote these medias anyways when they are worth billions of dollars and I have like, under a thousand followers on tumblr.

There are certain medias I think are bigoted and I don’t like them. Harry Potter and South Park are two of them (I don’t know anything about Hetalia). The difference between these and Attack On Titan are, from what I’ve been told, Attack On Titan is bigoted on purpose to push a specific agenda. This is not true for the others. OBVIOUSLY I’m not gonna allow racist propaganda, for the same reason I wouldn’t allow, like, idk anything else that actively seeks to radicalize its audience towards a bigoted end goal

The purpose of removing things is to prevent harm, not to make the controversial character tournament uncontroversial. Because if you remember, I actually DID remove a Harry Potter! Because she is a racist caricature and it would harm people to see racist imagery, language, or propaganda all over my blog. It does not harm anyone to read the words “Ron Weasley” or whatever. It’s not like I’m including a list of every slur the author has ever said underneath each character post. If I’m wrong about some character and their image IS bigoted, let me know! I’m more than happy to make this blog into a safer space for people in that way. But I’m not removing it for being controversial in a way where the actual post content is non-harmful and tag-blockable.

If you still disagree, you can send this ask again off anon and then we can talk and I’ll listen. But I’m not taking orders from some anon saying what I should and should not do.

my hot take on purity culture is that nobody knows how to be normal about sex :3

(tw for sex, puritanism, pedophila (?) [not explicit tbh], and shitty discourse)

call me a puriteen n all but like has it not bothered you to ever think of why so many young people are sex negative (definitely not a culture and internet that puts us in sexual situations when we are far too young and far too uncomfortable) ? has it ever bothered u to ask why so many young people are not performing critical media analysis (definitely not a lackluster education and culture that dissuades us from thinking deeper about the media we read) ? when I was a minor I could not tell you how many people i knew (me included) struggled with porn addiction bc we were exposed to pornography when we were FAR too young. young people are taught to be ashamed of and fearful of sex while simultaneously having their sex lives being put on blast 24/7 for others to jack off to, and you expect us to NOT act out about it?

like yes, you are absolutely right that sex (esp queer sex) is a totally normal thing and that you should be allowed to write wtv you want to write and share it among other like-minded people! yes you’re absolutely right that sex is a huge part of queer history that has been historically wiped away and that needs to be preserved !! i will not argue that puritans won’t jump at any chance to censor and shame and discriminate against anyone they deem a deviant!!! that is true!!

but you cannot expect a bunch of young people, still educating themselves, still figuring out their sexual identity in a world that shames and sexualizes them, still figuring out how to truly interact w media to have already know that. you don’t have to educate them but like there’s no need to be like “erm…minors amirite 😒” when a block will suffice

it’s so ridiculously revisionist to act like the internet is ‘sanitized’ or is perfectly filtered out so that minors stay in minor spaces and adults stay in adult spaces. there are people posting porn on tiktok, on twitter, on tumblr, on every fucking platform one can think of (including youtube). it is truly not that hard to encounter adult material even when you’re a minor. people will gladly send you porn or similarly graphic stuff even if ur a minor. you literally couldn’t have looked up mlp on GOOGLE back in the late 2000s/2010s and not be shown mlp porn. there’s an infamous porn video of mlaatr where the main (16yo) character gets raped by rock creatures, and it looks JUST like the show’s art style. so it’s very likely that there’s a generation of people whose very 1st sexual exposure was watching their fave characters be placed in inappropriate sexual content when they were children. so yay learning about sex thru bastardization!!

and combine that with young people who have never actually been taught how to explore their sexuality and instead learned “if ur even horny for a minute you will go to hell and die” ur going to get ill-adjusted young people who do not know wtf theyre doing. u are going to get people who are going to bump their heads a fucking lot.

ill be honest and admit that when I was a kid I was definitely within the puriteen camp bc gw!! I was a queer kid who just started grasping their sexuality in the middle of the pandemic and all I had was unrestricted access to the internet, that gave everything to me at 110%

I am not asking that every space be wiped squeaky clean just in case that a minor might be present, but I am asking to extend a little grace. Drop educational sources a so called puriteen should refer to!! Show how that kind of puritanical thinking can do actual harm to marginalized people!! Don’t get in internet spays w kids!! Just block and move on!!

(also i will forever be giggling at that one comic abt a minor entering an “adult” space and then getting mad at the adults there and calling them pedos just for the ‘adult’ space the op was talking about to be sophia the 1st nsfw fanfic. i literally cant)

IM BACK BABEY!!!!

[applecherry108]

I…

So I grew up watching The Simpsons. And maybe I shouldn’t have, but hey, it was the 90s and parent-sanctioned family time to watch a show that was definitely inappropriate for little-little kids.

Anyways.

I knew Phil Hartman, voice of Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz died in 1998, when I was seven. I knew he died and was sad about it. I missed his characters.

MOTHERFUCKER I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD—30-FUCKING-2 TO BE EXACT—WHEN I FOUND OUT, FROM A YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL, THAT HE WAS MURDERED. IN HIS SLEEP. BY AN EX-PARTNER.

WHAT THE FUCK
