#I only have one person to hyperfixate with and I don’t want to bug them into oblivion

[shadowthestoryteller]

When I’m deep diving into one of the few accounts that has tags for the Karaboudjan crew from Tintin but I come to the end far too soon

Rbti rewrite post :] (was gonna be more but I’ve had an eventful day.. will say later ofc)

Closeup of KCB, some more evolution of lore, and my day below cut!

((If I had the choice to redo this bug piece it would be to turn off his glowy eyes. Plot reasons. Also sorry I only ever post sketches, I fear if I do more it’ll sap my energy to get content out at ALL so))

I will say the plot has been wavering a LOT! I’ve been talking with some of my irl friends (all of them have lovely story writing or creative backgrounds which is amazing) and so it’s being patched significantly. Still not 100% finished, that’s why I haven’t made an entire lore post yet!! There’s a lot of loose ends and placement that needs to be figured out. But I feel like it’s only appropriate to state some at least :] you guys have given me amazing feedback and showed interest and I can’t thank you enough!

The “big bad” has been juggled around. I do like BEV, her motives are a little grey and need to be strung together accurately and cohesively. I also don’t want a twist villain, as much as that’s amazing I am not trying to rewrite WIR. Turbo in himself is a “big bad”, always will be, he’s the worst of the worst and completely irredeemable, that’s why the writing is so hard. “How do you put in a big bad that has to contest with one of the worst characters of all time?”

My answer is to make BEV solely target Turbo, and in turn it’s a domino effect for everyone, but then that makes this rewrite a little more Turbo centric than I wanted ((granted it IS because of my bias, but even then I realize he is NOT the main character of the previous movie))

These are out loud thoughts tho!! Def the story is gonna take a route where it’s more Ralph vs(?) Vanellope, where they realize their goals don’t really align but are trying to keep it from the other person (kinda like RBTI actually! But not as ‘drama needs to get in the way to actually make an issue’). Ralph is gonna be taking BEV’s side and Vanellope will be taking Turbo’s side, at least that’s the concept for now!

Talking about my day will be super short. Basically I showed my friend group (who doesn’t have the turbo autism I do, but Turbo has become such a referenced joke in my group. Instead of saying ‘this is my hyperfixation’ we say ‘This is my turbo’) the entire 2hr analysis video (thank you Randomalistic :]) and they loved it! Sat through it all front to back!! And I’m having a sleep over w them tomorrow and having a DnD session yippee!! But that’s the only reason why I’m posting this and not accumulating more for a bigger post.

I AM planning on working on ref sheets and even stuff like a ref sheet for their chat bubbles since they’re all different :] idk this became a super long ramble post idk have some funny WIR-related Jack box things my friend group made you earned it

Apologies for all the ranting I’m about to do. This is the ramblings of an autistic guy who’s been overstimulated by being outside for like 10 hours, and also is running on 6 hours of sleep.

I want to draw Aimi (my oc) and Overhaul, but I’m so tired right now. It’s 10pm (almost 11 actually now, I’ve been writing this for over 30 minutes). I cannot draw them otherwise I will get sucked into drawing for 6 fucking hours.

This is my OC btw, just for quick context.

I want. To draw Aimi and Kai. After Kai and Lady Nagant are arrested. And Kai is so broken,, and has finally (maybe) been able to see his father, and also perhaps apologised in some form to Eri. The heroes know Aimi was close to Kai, and that she’s the only person that’s technically innocent but still kind of complicit in his crimes. But because she’s a sane person who denounced his abuse of a literal child, and left him because of it, (and also because he’s quirkless) the heroes are like “maybe. Maybe this woman can actually help him. Somewhat.”

So they bring Kai to Aimi, and he is a broken man. She is heartbroken by the state of him, and all she wants to do is help him (and hold him, but she doesn’t. She respects his boundaries). The heroes are like “being in prison, and also being physically disabled, kind of broke him? Mentally? So can we entrust you to take care of him and maybe rehabilitate him. He will be on house arrest, and there will be a hero on alert if he ever tries anything. But can we trust him to you?” And Aimi is like “yes. But also. Can I build him prosthetics?? He’s quirkless, so he’s essentially harmless (but stretching the definition)”.

Heroes say yes. She builds him prosthetics.

I just. I want to draw them together so bad.

I don’t know if anyone would care about this, but people seemed to really want to know more about her, and see more of her. I’m gonna draw them again soon. I just,, I’m so fucking tired. I’ve been out all day today, and got 6 hours of sleep.

They mean so much to me. I can’t.

He’s still like,, mad germophobe. And she also has OCD, so she gets it and doesn’t judge him at all for his anxiety over her house being a bit messy. Their anxiety rivals each other, just over different things entirely. But also,, she’s a mechanic, so it’s also kind of hard for her to keep her house entirely clean, because she’s always doing shit and accidentally leaving the house a mess. But Kai gets on her case about it because “it’s dirty” and “it could attract bugs”

Taken try not to project onto every brown-haired OC he ever has challenge: Impossible. (The OCD part, not the amputee part.)

Overhaul cares about her so much in my silly little head, and the reason he could care about her so much is because she’s quirkless and “isn’t infected with hero sickness”. Also because she supported his desire for a quirkless world until he decided to bring a child into the fray, and torture and abuse a child. A YOUNG child. Aimi, reasonably, disagreed with that (as shown above) and left the Shie Hassaikai. He was so goal-focused and tunnel visioned that he immediately dropped the one person he genuinely cared about besides Chrono and his dad, and didn’t realise the consequences of his actions until it was too late and she had gone from his life. But he decided it was fine and a necessary sacrifice in order to move forwards, especially since he had other people to help him. But he missed her so greatly, but never let anyone know. Chrono caught on, but never pushed. All that mattered to Overhaul was his goal of a quirkless world, and then he could have Aimi back, not realising she would have hated him because he had tortured a little girl in order to get there.

These two had meant to much to me years ago, but I ended up leaving them behind since 1) I never gave Aimi a proper design all those years ago, and 2) I fell out of my BNHA hyperfixation. But me and my now ex-friend ended up associating this song with them:

This song is so them, please believe me guys. I swear I’m not insane. Specifically, SPECIFICALLY, this song is from Kai’s perspective

LIKE LOOK AT IT THAT’S SO THEM I’m insane. And tired. God please help me. Someone tell me to go to bed. If anyone read all the way this far and actually cares about my insane ramblings, tell me to go to bed. I’m so tired. But I love Aimi and Kai. I love them so much. They mean so much to me. The fact people have been loving them on here and saying they want more content has reminded me how much these two mean to me. I just needed to scream about them, and maybe someone will care and read all this.

Fun fact, Aimi didn’t used to be an amputee! But she’s always been a mechanic. Like she literally had her own agency at one point (I used to RP with my ex-friend my BNHA OCs, that’s how I got so attached to them). Aimi and Kai also had a kid, but that’s so OOC for Kai, I could never now. It would be so funny if he’s not even asexual, for so many reasons I won’t explain but you guys probably get. He probably is asexual (and he’s probably aromantic as well. I’m not projecting, I swear. Look at that silly man), and also probably very sex repulsed. Now I am projecting, but FUCKING LOOK AT HIM /ref.

Kai and Aimi would kiss on the lips and the lips only. That (autistic) OCD sex-repulsed asexual man would hurl at the thought of tongue being included. Me too, buddy. But also it would probably take a very long time for Kai to get to a point where he’s okay with even kissing on the lips.

Oh my god projecting onto this silly man has somehow helped me mentally disconnect him from my abuser somewhat. Accidental maybe trauma dump time? He looks like my abuser, so that’s mainly why I just abandoned Aimi. Because him looking like my abuser won out over me just loving him because of his character. But me going “yeah he’s autistic. He has OCD. He’s also asexual sex-repulsed, and probably aromantic too but let’s not talk about that” has helped. YAY healing!! It’s funny because my projection here isn’t just me being like “I love you, let me make you like me” my HCs are based on actual source material. I personally don’t fuck with characters being OOC, I like my HCs to be in-character. But that’s just a me thing :3

I need. To shut up now. It’s actually 11pm. But anyway. I’m gonna draw Aimi and Kai soon. Thank you to anyone (if anyone) who read this, reading the insane (not actually. I’m not insane, I’m just autistic and silly and tired) ramblings of me. I’m gonna make a Kaimi playlist because I love them. I’ll probably post it.

[namesnamesandmorenames]

Okay I already said this but I just started my Library and Information Science Masters and I actually coincidentally started a fanfiction database around April when I was first accepted into the program. Now I have been in classes for like a month and a half and have been working out the bugs adding stuff for easier use on this database for 5 months. I’ve been using my current set up for the past week and I think it’s what I’ll be sticking with. I might go more in depth in what each record has and I have a separate Fandom Creators database but I think that the records for those are honestly more interesting than the views.

On to what I want to shout into the void about: The views!

I know there’s a good chance no one cares so here’s a break off point to avoid clogging up your feed.

Each of these are set up for different purposes- overview is for completed works. These are the Read Statues I use in this overview (please ignore how crazy the numbers are)

Reading, Read Next and To Read all seem self explanatory to me and have been there since I started this spreadsheet/database ages ago. Priority Creators are writers who I have read almost if not all of their published work and I want to keep up with them as they write more. But... It's not necessarily my ONLY favorite writers- Prolific Priority (dumb name everything else I came up with was too long. I wanted it to be at most two words) are for people who have an EXTENSIVE back catalog of fics creators I trust who I've read and loved their work but it's not keeping up like Priority Creators-- it's catching up. Fandom Firsts a bit self explanatory- this is a creators first and only work (for now) in the fandom I'm currently hyperfixating on. I don't necessarily prioritize them but I like knowing in case they end up becoming a favorite writer! Basically it's a fancy system to break up my TBR from being in the thousands lol. Off The Presses— Was this work released in the last month essentially? These will filter back into the other categories if I don’t get to them it’s just something I like to be aware of.

Podfics overview (self explanatory (I record podfics so I like sorting by those separately because if there's a podic I'm listening to it!)) it looks practically identical to the regular overview just filters for if there is a contributor listed or podfic box checked.

WIP Overview- one of my most useful views imo-

It has extra read status' of Up to Date and Updated- Up to Date being fics I'm subscribed to and hoping for updates and Updated being recently updated fics I wanna catch up on! It’s also just nice to keep track of when things were last updated before I start them. Off the Presses actually means something slightly different here than traditional overview— that’s work I haven’t started reading but have checked and it has updated within the last month— I’m not completely against reading abandoned work (I even have a separate fic status for it) but wanna be aware of it before I start.

By Title and Format I don't really use Title is fics I'd consider making into podfics personally but it's gotten out of hand and I don't record nearly enough to ever actually catch up on it, format was an attempt at having the Completed and WIP overviews in one place- it was cluttered and I didn't use it. Now it breaks down by one shot or multi chapters and then length but I rarely actually use it because it has to be a uniform division of word count and it's just a lot of scrolling when set to 10,000 but anything more than that would have 500 word drabbles with like 20,000 word oneshots.

Missing Information? Like I mentioned I will add sections, recently I wanted to track where in the canon timeline I read most fics and this is a view where I've been trying to go back and update that most easily.

Bulk Addition- despite my excessive fic TBR I will still browse for new and old fics that clog up my tabs just as bad as the next person and I will just put the info in here it's set up most like a spreadsheet with a WIP, One Shot, Multi Chapter breakdown because One Shot is the default so it's easiest to be quick and accurate this way.

Skipping Chart for a sec-- checking is just a big list where I can search without it being broken up by any status or filters so I can try avoiding duplicate entries or find something specific by name, tag or creator. It’s basically my simplest version of a retrieval tool.

Chart is my designated 1 chart Notion will let me have for free I can and do change it relatively often if I am interested in something- here are a few options I go back to:

How many words am I reading each month?

How many words are the fics I’m recording each month overall?

Is there a month that more works I recorded were published?

And most recently— Where in the canon am I most likely to read a fic for? (I have Ambiguous, Multi Season or True AU options if it is truly too hard to tell but clearly since I just joined the 9-1-1 fandom a lot of the fics I’ve been reading take place post s7.)

Like I said I might make another post looking at what is recorded in each record, I think it would be funny to look at it as if it’s an actual cataloging schema so I might try to use LIS vocab for this as if it’s serious lol.

[mpsansy]

you put me in a casper the friendly ghost hyperfixation and i’ve literally only seen like one movie in my entire life!! /notmad you and your tiktoks got me so interested i had to find your tumblr to get more info!!

anyway i’ve walked out of reading up all of your info for your casper stuff and seen all your art and i would love to see/hear more abt stinkie i think he’s my favourite!

Gosh I don’t know how much more of these kind words I can take (please don’t stop, I’m seriously so happy and appreciative for all the love!!!!)

And not to worry, most people have only seen the 1995 movie. Which honestly, that’s the backbone of my version. The only thing I took out is the love interest… by putting someone else in it (Casper and Wendy). But that ain’t important right now. It’s more like a nice addition later on, like a dessert at a big ol’ dinner. Right now, I’m trying to get to the fine delicacies that is all of Casper’s family members. Which frankly only consist of the following:

Stretch

Stinkie

Fatso

and

Echo (previously known as Elizabeth McFadden, aka: Casper’s mama!)

These four are the main important ones in Casper’s life. And even more so in death. Think I’ve explained how the mother could come back, but I’d have to dig it up. But to paraphrase what I said on it, I wanted the trio to go find her as she calls to them specifically. Saying that she’s not imaginary and that they know her. Wanting only to come home to her family and be with them once again.

And for that reason, they get serious about the whole thing once it clicks. Which to many already feels very strange. They’ve never been the serious type, but hey! That’s the appeal to them. Each one being unpredictable and spontaneous.

Speaking of uncle Stinkie, I have a small thing to share. I’m currently editing a fanfic of mine on Stinkie and Casper, but since you’re here asking. I want to make this known as it’s significant to him. That thing is that he loves the outside, more specifically the bugs that are out and about in nature. Gazing upon them is a thing he and Casper probably enjoy doing together.

Oh! And besides Fatso, Stinkie also plays games with Casper. The games usually consist of: playing catch, racing, and his personal favorite, how far they can spit. Casper has won more times now than poor old Stink here. But that’s okay. The boy’s embracing the beauty of nastiness. Making Stinkie so so proud of his little nephew.

Phew! Apologies, that must be a lot of info. I just can’t help myself.

[lifenconcepts]

Since you have so graciously showered me in various questions, I now have some I would like to ask you.

||-> Do you have a favourite Aesthetic, or one you associate with yourself ?

||-> What’s you biggest Fear ?

||-> Do you have a bizarre Memory, or Experience you often Think about ?

||-> How do you visualise yourself in your Head, or do you not visualise anything ?

||-> Do you have a favourite Animal ?

||-> Do you have a favourite Movie//Series ?

||-> Do you have any Hyperfixations, and//or Special Interests ?

||-> What’s a Word you associate with yourself ?

||-> Is there a Sentence//Word you often say, or write out without knowing why ?

Feel free to ask me any of these things too.

I adore I adore I ADORE QUESTIONS and I adore YOU!!!

I have over a dozen aesthetics, I love them, I live through them, and they constantly change and fluctuate like the clouds in a sky - yet to make this conversation easier for you, it’s primarily dark academia, Russian folklore, battered Soviet guy, butlers, and wolves. That’s just like - entirely me.

my fear? Oh goodness, you know I adore such questions but I’m truly just unable to properly explain this.. I don’t really fear much, anything I ever did I’ve gotten over with time and understanding, and apart from the inherent one of the unknown or bugs (which I also have gotten over).. I probably only have one: being truly out of my mind. There’s a certain comfort with being unpredictable or having your own way of thinking and life that maybe others don’t understand, I don’t fear insanity, but what I do fear is being unable to trust myself. Humans try find reason in everything, and I’m no exception. The times I feel things I simply can not define in any damn way is the times I feel most afraid. To not be able to trust my own instincts or mind in figuring out myself - that’s the only thing scarier than the unknown. Uncertainty kills.

I do! I do.. yet I don’t feel like many would believe me- oh fuck it why do I even care for that? I often go out into the afternoon to talk with the universe, I hear it’s answers, and it definetely instills me with understanding and soothing comfort - my own thoughts being cleared should I ask for that and it’s embrace like a lullaby, yet the only thing other than that which I think of alot, bordering this paranormal experience and world of unreality, is when it scares me. I’m not exactly afraid of the dark by any means, I have taken walks in it entirely at peace, yet the universe can force upon me certain emotions. Let’s just say.. if I’m outside, the universe (or god, whatever you prefer to say) can just give me pure peace and enlightenment - without doing anything be happy. Yet at the exact experience, I could be given paranoia. One of which has no real meaning or reason apart from a major distrust to the world around. Why, I ask? Yet it doesn’t answer. It calls me outside, and it calls me back inside, the sun shines through my window beckoning me to venture out, but the aggression from certain nights keeps me forced indoors despite what I want. “I want to see the stars! They’re beautiful. why won’t you let me feel the breeze through my skin?” I call out, no answer comes this time, yet I’m sure that there’s someone watching me from the shadows just beside the shed, waiting to grab me. I’m staring into it with a light, I see nobody, yet I know they’re there. And they don’t want hugs. (AHEM) anyways also I saw a domovoy last year.

I.. I don’t actually have a form. Identity? Self.. oh it’s something I’m quite litterally in the point of trying to tell what is happening and going on, yet the me that I feel like I am can not be described in words or art I can make, I can only venture around the vague picture but also find a dozen thousand art pieces to try show you what I am like, yet really, I’m grasping at straws. I can take on the form of anything you desire me to, I prefer some light, or a wolf, or a fluffy haired person, but in reality I’m but a collection of existence.

ooo fav animal is a wolf yes yes from childhood :3

Favourite movie/series is a hard one, I constantly change them, but I’ll just vaguely say: the entire Sherlock Holmes franchise of all sorts, Смешарики (don’t listen to the English dub, it’s a disgrace), SpongeBob! (ONLY the old one, they turned it into brainrot), Gravity falls, inside out, Брат, Брат 2, Три богатыря, Иван Василевич меняет профессию, собачие сердце (recommend this one a lot), брилянтовая рука, and many more I’ve still haven’t found or watched! Also maybe a lot I can’t even remember right now..

ooh I- hm.. I’ll just say writing. Poetry. Thoughts. Psychology. Divine intervention. Spirituality. Taste of the world. Just - journaling!

Hmm.. many! I won’t limit myself.. infinite, Soviet, divine, experienced, truthful, canine, man, nature, spirit, wolf, WOLF!!!

plenty.. oh too many to mention..,

oohhh and I flip the questions right back your way! Any words you feel like represent you? What is your identity like? What are your interests? What is your fear? What strange events have you experienced in life? How do you think?

[theforgottencrow]

Heyo! I randomly came across your blog some little while ago, and have only REALLY checked out your masterpost just now. When it came to things you've listed as things you enjoy, I actually was unaware most of those existed, as I'm pathetic at exploring the internet at times and randomly finding fandoms. SO, I do ask, if you could give a short basic idea on the fandom or hyperfixation or the type of genre of music the band or song belongs to and other songs or artists that may be a bit MORE popular for whatever reason and thereby more likely to be recognized by me or even just links to the songs so I can understand what it's like if it's hard to explain in words. If clarification is needed, I ask this so as to better understand a person on the internet and expand my sphere of media and perhaps obtain new hobbies or hyperfixations and thereby learn of the greatness something may be that I don't know of because of my lack of knowledge on the subject. This is also partially asked so what I can do is find a masterpost for a basic idea of these things, pin it on say, a secondary blog, and then suddenly spam my mutuals with related shit with then a link to it in case they want to learn more about this new fandom or sets of fandoms I've suddenly entered. Thank you for reading this long-as-a-Chinese-Dragon ask and for spending your time reading this.

I’m gonna be honest- my ass does NOT understand what your initially asking for- I struggle to understand questions I read if they’re longer even though I’ve re-read this over 10 times now 😭

I can’t tell if you’re asking me for a brief summary of what each fandom/fandom hyperfixation I’m in is abt/why? But- please clarify :”)))

I THINK i understand the music one you said though…so ima try and do a few of them?? Uhm srry if it’s wrong but-

1. Mindless Self Indulgence’s genre of music is Electropunk, Industrial Rock, and Digital Hardcore. They’ve made the songs Shut Me Up, Stupid MF, Sex for Homework, Get it Up, What do They Know, etc-

2. Cave Town’s genre of music is Alternative/Indie. They’ve made the songs Boys will be Bugs, Lemon Boy, Devil Town, This is Home, Juliet, etc- (I definitely recommend them if you don’t know them already, they’re a really good artist)

3. Derivakat’s genre of music is Dance/Electronic, Pop, and Indie Pop. They’ve made the songs Tool, REVIVED, Smile, Pomegranate Lips, Nightmare, Casino Royal, Cycle, etc-

4. Ryan Mack’s genre of music is Pop. They’ve created the songs I Should’ve Stayed Home, Overwhelmed, Forever and Ever and Always, Broke, Guess that’s Love, Sad Fuck, etc-

uh- that’s all I’m gonna do for now and srry if it wasn’t what you asked for- again really srry that I don’t understand but if you could maybe shorten it and make the question a tad more clear I could maybe answer it better 🥹

Alright, so! Unlike the first two blogs - this one’s a little different although it’s still for asking characters things!

This one specifically and its sister blog @norisu-dojo are part of the same universe; at the moment it doesn’t have an official name, so to explain - the AU is a role swap where “Finja” is the ninja of 2012/2013 (?) and Randy’s the First Ninja (so basically Finja and Randy swap places hahah). I wanted to use the ask blog as a way of developing the universe a little more and to make something different!

It was between that or somehow First Ninja had been given a physical form and Randy convinced him to get social media or something, but I figured why not use one of my AU’s for the heck of it?

Now keep in mind this is still being developed, but you’ll be able to interact with “Finja” and well, possibly get information about the world he’s in! Who knows~

Trigun OC: Rhiannon/Rhys

Okay so here's what happened. I started watching the new Trigun: Stampede and immediately loved with it because it's cool. Like literally this reboot does everything right (except getting rid of Milley and the bug eyed cat cameos). So while waiting for new episodes of Stampede I went back and watched the OG series and found... I still fucking LOVE it. Vash is the best of the late 90's protags. Might make a video on why Trigun is better than Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star but don't hold your breath on that appearing anytime soon. Anyway! Because I'm hyperfixating on the new series and still in love with the OG series I decided to create an OC... the only problem is that I couldn't decide on a color scheme and a name for her. So... I decided to use both! Lemme explain: I will be drawing fanart of the OC series and for Stampede. While both Vash's look distinctively different from one another I didn't want to draw both of them *kissing* the same girl. Technically she is the same person. As far as traits and personality go she is the same - the only difference is what series she appears in. So green haired 'Rhiannon' is for OG Trigun. And pink haired 'Rhys' is for Stampede. First two poses are her standard outfit - what she wears when performing (she's a singer). The coat, goggles and braids are how she looks when traveling with Vash. Last one is what she wears to bed. I was going to give her a scar of some kind but somehow ended up giving her light freckles. Super cute right? Most of my characters end up with freckles because I have freckles :) As for the fanfic - it's only gonna be one chapter. Just Vash telling Rhys about how she keeps dying and reincarnating. He meets her every time but she never remembers him. Until the last time where they finally end up together. No drama just them talking in bed and being sweet to each other. Its sappy. Might be the sappiest thing I've ever written but what can I saw. Vash is the best boy and he deserves happiness.

Detoxing

I’ve used this Tumblr, since returning, to kind of back-door vent frustrations about my old WoW guild. It was a social situation that went poorly, people who treated me poorly and bristled when they were called out on how their behavior looked to others and affected other people, and I made the right decision to bail, take the folks who had been chafed by them away with me, and start our own thing.

But it has bugged me a lot in the 8-9 months since.

Learning I’m on the spectrum has actually made it pretty easy to see why, at least partially - it’s a hyperfixation for me. I have a strong sense that what I did is right and was good, and I’ve held that up for the time since I left. The hope in my mind, in some ways, is that things would get better - I would never want to go back, but I had at least held out some small hope that maybe things would blow over, that they’d recognize their position and role in the exodus and come around with some apologies or mending.

They haven’t, obviously, and I know they won’t now, but it was a good hope.

For my part, I’ve been annoyed enough about it to write about it in brief on my actual gaming blog, not a lot, but it’s been referenced twice since we left at least, and my most recent one, I admitted in the post it was a petty victory lap - that I had seen them whittle their raid size from 26 to 11 in the space of 1.5 tiers of raiding, and that maybe it would have been wise to heed my requests. Honestly, the funniest thing about the whole exodus is that if they had apologized to the people they hurt, even just an insincere half-baked one, they could have avoided the whole thing. But they couldn’t fucking do it!

This upset Tim, their raid leader, and he left me a comment under a fake name and email on that post. I know it was him because I know where he lives (by his invitation, not like in a doxxy bad way lol) and he’s literally the only person I know from that place, which is the same place the IP address that left the comment came from. The comment also had his mannerisms, like being so far up his own ass that no light can be seen, and some specific turns of phrase he has used before in this situation. He told me I was full of shit, that I was delusional, that my whole narrative was playing the victim to the “evil” guild, that he had receipts of me shit-talking my current guildies, and that he hoped I “grew up” and “found some self-worth.”

I won’t lie, I was sort of irritated and bothered by it at first.

Regardless of thinking I made the right call and did the right thing, I think it is a good character trait of mine that I consider the viewpoint of the opposing side to my own, that I put myself into his shoes and think about how it might have felt and what he might have thought. I don’t have to come to agree or find his case compelling, just to think through it and understand the place it comes from the best I can. Ultimately, conflict always bothers me, and since we left, there’s been little actual conflict, so it flaring up again did ring that bell in my brain. I also know that I was being a little antagonistic - like, I’m not going to say I wasn’t poking them with that post - I obviously was. I have my justification for it and I would stand by it, but I was absolutely taking my shots after they had taken so many at me. It was a part of a bigger analysis that stepped far outside of that conflict, of course, but the core of it as the post I wrote unfolded became about the topic of guild recruitment and player group formation through the lens of how they’d met with challenges and how Tim’s recruitment post was a good example of a bad and poorly-conceived attempt to bring in new blood.

But then I thought about it, and the thing that sort of amused me is that he answered nothing I had to say about the leadership he had exhibited since I left. Literally nothing. It was empty pot-shots at me, a demonstrated lack of reading comprehension, vague and empty threats, and childish projection (if I didn’t have self-worth, I’d still be in your raid group, pal!). The more I considered it, thought honestly about what he was trying to say and trying to do, the more I realized he was just being a dick - in the time since we all left, he hadn’t considered in the slightest that he might have been even 1% in the wrong, and all he can do is point fingers, mostly at me, and claim that I am the villain of the story - scheming in the shadows (a literal thing he included), planning behind everyone’s backs, not doing anything to help the situation (I mean, we had a literally 5-hour long text conversation about the issues which should still exist in the old Discord, but hey), and he basically just wanted to vent. Which, like, whatever, I think you’re wrong and I think I can substantiate my claim much better than you can, but go off, I suppose.

Where I think he genuinely made a point, though, was in the self-worth thing. Not how he intended it, obviously, but there was a part of it that stuck with me.

In the months that have passed since we left, I’ve been hyperfixated on their activity. I generally know when they kill bosses, I know when they have roster changes, I see their raids whittling away because I look, I’ve watched them push people out by being assholes on video. In my head, I wanted and needed that justification that I had done the right thing - that I wasn’t just chasing shadows or inventing some larger cultural rot within their structure, but I wanted that hard evidence to give me the calming that I thought I needed. Of course, the fact that enough people agreed to come with me even when I hadn’t broached the topic as being about some guild conflict or behavioral issue should have been enough, and the way they behaved when we bailed should also have been enough, but you know, sometimes you just need those layers of peace. But the thing I realize now is that I wasn’t getting peace from it.

I was paying attention to them while doing my own thing, and sure, they were churning and burning raiders left and right. Sure, they had already needed to open recruiting less than halfway into the expansion. My points and ideas were being proven bit by bit. But knowing that wasn’t giving me any comfort. I would laugh a bit and remark to myself that I had made the right call, I would sometimes show stream footage to people I trusted and get that validation of my view on the matter, but then I kept wanting more. I hadn’t reached a point where I felt that peace, and instead, I just wanted to see more evidence. It was past the point of being useful or validating.

On some level, I can acknowledge that I made the right call, and no one with me has ever questioned that. But in my ASD-addled brain, it was never enough. I wanted more, more validation that I did a decent thing and that it had improved the situation for my people. I knew I had handled aspects of the issues poorly over the years - I’ve never hid from that. Most times I reference the issue at all start, end, and are laced with callouts of myself - that I could have done more, better, and more directly, and I failed on that level. In the end, I could have done a lot better, but I ultimately still had a good guiding truth leading me to my course of action and while I regret aspects of that path, it ultimately led to a better place and removed some layers of the tension for a lot of folks. I’ll never regret the outcome of those actions, even while I can acknowledge that the path could have been a better one.

But of course, the tricky thing is that Tim will never acknowledge that I have been open to that extent, that I apologized multiple times including going in-person to him to do that. He always pushes to resolve things in private and in voice chat, and I know now that is done because he doesn’t want a record. If things go pear-shaped for him, he can just throw the other person under the bus - “they didn’t even try to fix things!” - and, conveniently for him, my chats with him are private or locked in officer channels and in-person, so he can poison the well and move on. I don’t think he’s a master manipulator or anything of the sory, god forbid - he’s just reading-averse and would prefer to not have a trail for this kind of thing. He even made people delete VODs of blowups and assholery in the past, which is the kind of level of shady I should have known was not to be taken seriously or trusted.

I know that any vague threat Tim makes about receipts of me shit-talking current guildies would be like 3 years old and also very minor raid leadership notes - plus, like, even if he wanted to share his “truth” with people, how was he going to do it? Crawling back through officer chat in the game client or scrolling and searching years of Discord chat would be silly, stupid, and probably blow up in his face - assuming again that there even was anything, it would look incredibly small-minded and petty to go back 2-3 years of chat to find a couple of soft comments about group compositions or performance, and I’ve discussed those issues with people in my group as is! The only intent he could even have is to hurt other people with that, which is an interesting thing, because it wouldn’t hurt me as much as anyone else involved, and he doesn’t even want most of my raiders back, so it just feels like a pointless bit of assholery. I’m pretty sure even he knows this, because he made the idle threat and claimed the screenshots exist, but hasn’t made any effort I can see to drop them, whatever they would even be.

This whole situation was a great object lesson in how I might handle conflicts going forward, what I did right and wrong and how I can work with other people to get a better outcome. It’s also a great lesson in when my interlocutor isn’t interested in the truth or finding agreement as much as they are just “winning,” whatever form that takes. 

But the biggest thing I am learning is that it is also a lesson in when I need to step away from pains and issues I have, when being right and justified and finding more evidence of it is just not going to serve me well. I made my case, publicly and privately. I’ve provided evidence through screenshots and contemporaneous accounts of conversations I had with people to attempt to mend fences before I decided the fence could not be fixed. To my foes on the other side, it was never going to be enough, and even as I’ve gained new, neutral evidence of the issues I presented being everpresent even as they deny it, it was never going to be enough to provide that new evidence. All they wanted - all Tim wanted - was compliance. Shut your mouth and raid, or don’t, we don’t care. You can’t stop us from being assholes, so don’t even try, because somehow, trying to stop that made me the bigger asshole in their eyes. 

For the last 9 months I’ve let myself be embroiled in brain poison. I watched VODs, I watched their raid roster kill to kill, observed how they play and how they behave. It completely validated my take on them, but that doesn’t really matter in any real sense. It hurt to watch, and it kept tearing open the wounds of that period.

The thing I noted early and then stopped noting is that a big part of early Shadowlands for me was trying to meet them where they were. I wanted to be friendly, I wanted people to like me, and I tried really hard to enmesh myself with them so that I could maybe, just maybe, change the culture from within. At a point, I thought Tim was maybe a friend. We had talked about meeting for lunch sometime, hanging out, I wanted things to be good, and I took that responsibility seriously. And I can also acknowledge that me changing my mind after things went poorly, calling him out, was probably something that hurt him because of that. It’s not an outcome I wanted, obviously, but at the same time, it had hurt me to see him be so dismissive of my take and my asks. We don’t have that much in common and it would probably never have been a meaningful friendship in that way anyways, but I had been game to try. I defended him to my friends, because that needed to happen since he was a tiresome individual. When we were co-raid leading, he had been excluded from a single Mythic Plus run that made him call out the guild as not “behaving like a guild” and then leave Discord and the game for 3 months! - he was hard to deal with, even often at his best. But I still tried.

I did achievement runs and dungeons with people I would come to loathe, the main irritants that kept pushing people out both before and after my new group left, because I was making a good faith effort to integrate with the group. I tried really hard to put aside past judgments and observations and just hang out. I succeeded at times, but that just made it sting more when things went bad.

I self-flagellated into going back after I first left in the summer of 2021, pushed myself to try and make it right, but it was very obvious in hindsight that they were never going to make that effort with me. I apologized to Tim, but he never apologized to me. I apologized to the guild, but I was never welcomed back by the core that remains in the old guild. They didn’t need to roll out the red carpet, but after a few months of steady raiding and playing with them, they could at least have tried to be friendly. And I know now that I misjudged a lot of them in that early Shadowlands era, thought better of them than they were. That’s not a thing I say lightly either, like I’m not trying to rack up points here. I wanted to befriend them, they weren’t willing to make the effort in kind, they made that clear when shit hit the fan, but I was the hopeless optimist still trying. I gave up, obviously - I stopped playing in November 2021, uninstalled the game in December that same year, and I kept it out of my system until October 2022.

But I tried.

In the end, the thing I have learned most is that I need to detox better - that I need to learn when to expel the poison and leave it all behind. I’ve let the poison sit in my veins for months, even years now, and I’ve kept adding more through my attempts to justify an already soundly-justified decision. In the end, constantly shooting up with more poison has only left me feeling sick and tired. Tim’s little diatribe, his complete lack of reflection, actually did offer me something beneficial - the knowledge that I was never going to find peace down the old road. Poking and prodding them, justified though I believe it to be, was never going to make them apologize to me or anyone else. Watching them from afar and remarking upon their issues was never going to make me feel any better - it was just going to annoy me that they had chosen to not listen to me and pretend everything was just great. I wanted a clean break, I got one, but then I insisted on dragging the old dirt with me. It’s pointless and something I should not have done, but I wanted that justification in the wake of all their finger-pointing and conflict - to know I had been right. And I was, but being right wasn’t enough. Watching them self-destruct has been somewhat satisfying but that satisfaction has been empty. I took my victory lap but it also made me sad for the people I do like, stuck on the sinking ship. Of course, they’re not stuck - a fair few could reach out to me anytime and I would pull them off in seconds.

But I can’t constantly subject myself to streams, VODs, watching the roster week-to-week on RIO for each kill, and keep thinking about it, letting it hog my brain space on a daily basis. The hardest part of letting go is letting go, knowing that I’ll never get the things I think I should in terms of apologies or polite conversation, but continuing to think about it isn’t going to suddenly manifest any of that.

So I’ve said my last piece, let the poison boil in my veins one last time. I’m done looking at them, peering in from the distance. I am focused on me, on my group, on being the best leader I can be and the best person I can be for my own benefit. Good luck to them and good riddance.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Short version: my friend's house almost got broken into by this dude who'd been stalking us for months while we were home alone. Instead of calling the cops, we decided to confront him with a bow and arrow (me), a hatchet, and a baseball bat (him). The plan was that if it went badly, we would simply throw his corpse into one of the many lakes in the neighborhood and let the alligators eat his remains (this was Florida). Why? Because we were afraid of having our home-alone privileges revoked. Luckily for us all, the guy fucked off and we never saw him again.

The Agent & The Avenger 🚔| Everett Ross Headcanon

Link to my Marvel masterlist

I’m sorta making the power be similar to what Eleven does in Stranger Things, just without the telekinesis since Wanda already has that. Also there’s barely anything on this app with Everett (and I’m sorta on a Martin Freeman hyperfixation) so Imma do us a service.

Everett Ross being in a relationship w/ an Avenger would look like:

The whole Accords thing brought a lot of attention to you—being an avenger and what not. In fact, you were still on the fence about signing and were pretty much loyal to Steve. He’d been the one to recruit you in the first place after the team had responded to a situation where it was believed former Hydra associates were housing a enhanced individual. The individual being yourself.

You could track any person once you saw a picture of them or heard their voice. Once you focused, you were able to mentally transport yourself to their location and hear whatever they were saying. This made you a target for a lot of people, because you could spy on enemies.

After the explosion in Vienna, you volunteered to find Bucky before the feds. “You don’t have to do this, Y/n.” “He’s your friend, Cap. And if you think he’s innocent then I’m going to help you prove it.” So, you found a spot to conceal yourself and got to work. You weren’t the best fighter compared to your teammates, but you were far better than the federal agents who got their ass handed to them.

After being detained with Sam, Steve, Bucky, and to your surprise, T’Challa, you came face to face with Agent Everett Ross. Him and the other agents hauled you to a conference room. You didn’t say much to him, only a word of thanks when he brought you the glass of water you asked for. You missed how his eyes had lingered a bit longer on you than they should have.

When all hell broke loose at a rampage winter soldier, you stunned the agent when you side tackled Bucky before he attacked Ross. It was just an instinct—Bucky would’ve smushed him like a bug and although you weren’t a super soldier, you could at least throw him off his feet. You got pretty banged up however when he threw you into a glass wall after a few punches.

Ross was at your side in an instant, worry plastered on his face as he called for medics. “Where does it hurt, Miss. L/n?” “Everywhere—what do you think.” It wasn’t like you to be rude, but c’mon the man literally witnessed you tossed like a rag doll. Because of your condition, you were in the hospital when the fight at the airport took place. And with that you were not arrested like you probably would’ve been.

To your surprise, Ross visited you with the information of what took place. “Where are they now?” “Maximoff, Lang, Barton, and Wilson are in the Raft,” He frowned at your sad expression, “No word from Rogers and Barnes.” From then on, Ross would check in during your recovery. You were hesitant about his intentions—being a government agent and all that, you feared he was trying to get close to in on behalf of the CIA so you’d sign the Accords.

You brought this up the day before you were set to discharge. Cap had contacted you on a burner phone and told you his plans. You pretty much knew you were going to help, but you’d come to enjoy the visits and talks with Ross that you felt guilty if you went on the run. “Why do you do this, Ross?” “Please call me Everett. And what do you mean?” “Everett, how come you visit me like this so often? Why it is you want?” You saw how his cheeks turned red and it made your heart slightly flutter. “I-I uh—um. I just wanted to thank you—for-for what you did—you know stopping Barnes.” When you get confirmation he wasn’t trying to coy you, you come clean to him on your plans. He immediately protests against it—saying you’ll be arrested and you simply tell him, “I think since I saved your life, Agent, that you owe me a favor. Don’t you think?”

So that’s how you ended up on the run with Team Cap with a heads start. Ross did owe you and promised to not say anything when you discharged the hospital that day. You saw the somewhat sad look in his face and vowed to check in from time-to-time. He of course was confused at first and asked how to which you joked, “Don’t worry, Silver-Fox, I’ll find you.”

And find him you did because a month later you nearly gave him a heart attack after he got home one night to find you lounging in his living room. A wave of questions had flew from his mouth and you did your best to answer them. “I just thought I’d let you know I’m still alive.” “Can I get a heads up next time?” The friendship you had was odd but somehow made sense. It would be a few months before either of you could admit you were feeling something more for each other.

When that happened, it was complicated due to the fact you were a fugitive and he was a government agent. The moment you realized you truly had feelings for the man was when he told you what happened in Wakanda. You were furious and relieved about him being shot and surviving. That was when you knew you couldn’t deny it any further. It was the same thing for him when he hadn’t heard from you in almost three months only to find out you had a close call with the feds. “How long are we going to dance around this before we just suck it up and admit we feel something for each other?” “Well since your saying something, It’s safe to assume that dance is ending.”

For two years you two kept your relationship hidden from the world. The only ones who knew were the avengers you were with, and you know they’d never tell a soul. You communicated with burner phones or you’d hack into a public computer with a random email and speak in code. Everett could tell when it was you and made sure no one was around or made sure he was using personal devices. Whenever you and the team were in the states you’d pop into his place—often scaring him like the first time you did.

“I want you here with me, Y/n. So much it’s starting to hurt.” “I know, Ev, but just a little longer if I can help it.” That was also the first night you two said you loved each other. The next morning Cap was calling you back after he got word from Banner—who you were shocked to hear was back—about what happened in New York. Ev was fearful of letting you go after you explained the situation. “This doesn’t sound good—maybe you should stay here—.” “I’m an Avenger, Everett. Whether the government sees it or not, I have to go with them.” “Just promise you’ll come back.” “When have I ever broken a promise to you?”

You didn’t realize that promise would have a close call when you stepped onto the quinjet. Your friends and allies were dusting right before your eyes after Thanos managed to snap his fingers—horror splaying across your face and you waited for it to happen to you. When it didn’t your heart began to race at the thought of Everett. While everyone was reacting to the chaos unfolding, you found a quiet area by a bush and closed your eyes to track him, completely ignoring the searing pain in your side after Thanos flung you into a tree.

To your relief, you found him in a frenzy at work as the same thing was happening to the people around him. “What’s happening!?” He shouted into his comm, running as the alarms went off. You followed him, anxiously waiting if he would turn into dust with tears falling from your eyes. Then you saw him grab his phone, frantically dialing and placing it to his ear while muttering, “Please, please, not you. Please pick up.” In that moment you realized he was trying to call you, and you watched helplessly knowing you left your phone on the jet. “Pick up!” He shouted when it went to voicemail and dialed again, “C’mon, Y/n, please.”

His relief, which brought tears to his eyes, came at the text from you nearly twenty minutes later reading: ‘get to Avengers compound.’ He made it there in a record time, waiting for any sign of the quinjet and kept busy by watching the news, pacing, and nonstop calls from the agency. The second he heard the jet he was out the doors and running across the lawn to the landing pad. He was slightly shaking and when he saw you stepping off, the others behind, he ran as you limped your way down the steps.

A gasp followed by a sob left you when he caught you in his arms. Everett’s hand was in your hair while his arm was tightly around your waist. “Oh my God, I thought—.” “I know. I thought too.” “How’d you know I didn’t—?” “I found you. First thing I did.” The others walked passed, defeat coating them head to toe, and left to give you two some privacy. You both kissed, then he noticed how you were holding onto your side when you both pulled away. Immediately Everett got you into the compound for Banner to look at your wounds.

None of the Avengers worried about Everett arresting them or calling the feds. After what was going on in the world, a couple of wanted criminals would be the last priority with half the words population disappearing. That night he held you as you cried and weeped for your fallen friends. There was still no word of Tony and although you hadn’t spoken to him in two years you still cared about him. Everett kissed away your tears and brushed his fingers through your hair until you had fallen asleep.

The next morning you helped Nat and Steve try to track those they couldn’t account for. The whole time Everett held your hand and would suggest a break when he could tell you were getting tired. “I found him,” you said in relieved sigh, eyes closed though you could see Tony clear as day in your mind. Sadness came when there was no trace of Fury, or Shuri, or Scott, or the kid Peter Parker the others told you about. You found Pepper, and then Happy, and then Clint, but your heart ached discovering all of his family disappeared.

You even found Thanos. But there was no way you could even put a name to where he was at. It would take some time before you all found him. Weeks passed and Everett stayed by your side. There wasn’t much he could do for the Avengers and the same went for the CIA. The higher ups were trying to figure out something, and all he could do was wait until they called for him.

When Tony was rescued and the second defeat came at the discovery Thanos had destroyed the stones (a trip both you and Everett went on and got to share a journey to space together) the question came on how to go from there. Nat was already working on establishing the Avengers with who they had, but some decided to go separate ways. It was a difficult conversation for you and Everett, both of you unsure of what to do. “Things are going to be different now, Y/n, but I want you by my side throughout it.” “I want the same, Ev. But you’re an agent and I’m an Avenger. Can we really make it work?” “We did for two years, darling. Why stop now when we both know that’s not what we want.”

So that’s how you ended up moving into Everett’s small, but cozy home just days later. You promised Nat you’d be a phone call away and attend meetings via hologram whenever she needed. Everett respected your decision, you were an Avenger at heart and even if the world was on fire you were going to help. He stayed an agent and made a deal with the government to drop the charges and pursuit on you and the others. When they agreed and you were safe to live your life freely without having to look over your shoulder, you felt like you could breath again.

Everett felt it too. The feeling was contagious and you both tried to make positive of the situation though you two were grieving the loss of several friends. You both made promises to each other, promising to always be honest and never hide even if one thinks the other wouldn’t understand. And two years later, those promises became vows with simple bands adorning your left ring fingers. “I love you, and I promise to love you forever and ever.”

You’d cross every bridge together, solve every problem, and hope for the future. Because all though you two started as merely an agent and avenger, you became something more that even the universe couldn’t tear apart.

NEOPETS DRAMA INCOMINGGGGG

(A continuation of a previous post on the matter.)

Alright my dudes I guess there’s no reason to hide it anymore soooo.

I’m pretty sure I helped get Ivy and Will frozen.

Obviously Ivy was the most suspicious, always magically getting very nice real words/names from nowhere. I don’t engage in cheating or anything so it’s not like I had proof that she was cheating of any kind, so I just avoided trading for her pets lest I get caught up in a reversal and end up with no pet because Neopets staff can’t exactly recreate a name.

As more names kept appearing (not just from her and her buddies but from other people) I finally started to wonder just how bad this problem was. I had an oooold list that I made shortly after the last account purge in 2012 - where inactive accounts get deleted, including the pets on them, sometimes including pets with real word/names like Skunk, Tubby or Fiona. As the old accounts are deleted users can recreate these names if they’re fast enough. I was very active in the previous one and made the list to prepare myself for the next one... whenever that happens. This list I made had the names of accounts and what nicely-named pets they had.

ANYWAYS. Using the gift/curse of hyperfixation, I went through every account and name on that list to see what pets had moved, as well as miscellaneous notes (when the account was last logged into, if any of the pets had been replaced, etc.). I’ll be straight with y’all, high school me had made a MASSIVE list. THOUSANDS of names. I chipped away at this for like, 2 or 3 weeks. I will fully acknowledge this was a silly use of time, but hey at least I’m not watching racist Minecraft Youtubers or trading cryptocurrency.

Well, by the time my list was finished I found that about 20-25% of the names had moved with no indication of a trade or that they were moved between accounts owned by one person (for non-Neopets players, a person can have up to 5 accounts, 1 ‘main’ account and 4 ‘side’ accounts). I noted in my spreadsheet the original account the pet was on, where it had moved to, and any notes (if the pet had been replaced by another one, how long ago the account was last logged into, etc.)

I sat on this list for a while. I shared it with some Neo buddies who also didn’t want to get caught up in trade reversals, and some non-Neopets-playing friends who thought the whole situation was insane. I hesitated reporting anything officially because it didn’t really prove anything and I didn’t want innocent people to get caught in the crossfire. I also didn’t want cheaters to target me for potentially getting them frozen. Plus, Neopets did a server migration in like 2017 after being bought by a new company and for some reason they kept no account-related records from before then, so any pets stolen before that point couldn’t really be proven to be stolen and I really don’t think the staff would just take one person’s word for what pets went where.

Then a pet got stolen off of an old friend’s account - someone who had only been inactive for a couple of years. And ended up on Ivy’s account. No new pet in its place to indicate it might have been traded.

My friend LOVED that pet and wouldn’t have traded it, much less given it away. Pissed, I decided to send the spreadsheet to the Neopets team anonymously.  A few days later, Ivy and a couple other people (who I later learned were friends with her) had been frozen.

Fast-forward and I ended up telling people I thought I could trust about my spreadsheet, and apparently what I did is now a well-known fact in the cheating community. I know this because people keep bugging me about it across multiple websites.

And then today another drama board started and like the fool I am I engaged in the conversation. This is like the third time my name has been brought up on these kinds of topics so I finally just publicly admitted to what I did.

I sent in the spreadsheet in like... early March? And the hoes are still mad about it. At first it was annoying but now it’s just entertaining (because I’m NOT the only one who had receipts on Ivy and co, I can tell you that much. From what I gather it sounds like one of the people in that circle turned on the rest and reported them to the Neopets staff). I guess they just want an easy mark or something. Also I have no plans to post the spreadsheet anywhere so these guys should give it a rest lol

I suppose I’m throwing stones in a glass house given that I am still playing Neopets, got invested enough to make the spreadsheet and enjoy looking at the drama boards that pop up, but at the end of the day every single person involved is a clown in the same circus.

The only difference is I'm willing to admit that I am one. Honk honk, bitch.

…Actually, one final thing, genuinely final: what you said about fandoms often going in the opposite direction of something may very well be true l, but I don't know, the only two things where I saw it so hard are Hollow Knight (where I'm always seeing goofy silly posts yet the game itself spunds really dark and nearly every Character either dies or is dead) and Bug Fables (where the game is upbeat and funny most of the time yet so many hyperfixate on the dark 10% and are mad the whole game isn't like that). Funny, because I otherwise don't find those two games nearly as comparable as their fanbases seem to act like they are.

i dunno, i've seen that in pretty much every fandom i've participated in. it's not necessarily how dark things are; i see a lot of rain world fans talking about the iterators, even though we get literally 7 lines of dialogue for some of them, and none for one. (grey wind and sliver of straw fans i see you and i adore you, keep going at it, i am looking so hard <333) and i think people just like to see the two bug worlds collide; i know i do.

i’m not sure why you keep complaining about people getting mad about the lack of dark stuff, because again, i’m not really the right person to talk to about that? i eat that shit up. and for the record, some of my issues with the narrative of bug fables don’t necessarily involve dark themes, i’m just dissatisfied with the extent of how things were explored. vi and jaune’s relationship needed much, much more time to develop and heal than was given in canon, and i focus on them a lot to give them the much needed narrative time they deserved.

and while i haven’t really browsed the tags on ao3, off the top of my head right now i would guess that the angst is around leif and kabbu a lot of the time, and both of them have went through some pretty intense loss. there... isn’t really much getting around that being angsty. it’s hard to find objective positives in active grief, and especially today, with so much going on in the world, i don’t find it surprising people want to explore grief more. there is value in silly stories, of course, but i think canon has explored a lot of the silly already, while it hasn’t for a lot of kabbu’s grief and leif’s immense loss. you can only go so far with what canon hasn’t explored and still keep it light, i think.

then again, i haven’t looked myself, so i wouldn’t really know huh. sometimes you have to be the change you want to see in the world and all.
