abt your rant on how ppl are weird towards orion pax- no cuz ure so right,seeing those fanarts at first i was like idk maybe some people have a heavy preference on making him be submissive etc? but the way they do it- it goes beyond just artstyle wise and interpretation 😭 its just fetishizing in all the wrong ways,not just that but that one comic of him being blind? it was so weird like they could of just had a diff approach where he doesnt get beaten up or is a crybaby like- wtf

not just orion pax though,for example in tfp optimus is drawn and seen as this uwu twink boy and its so?? like did we see the same series...that is NOT optimus prime that is just an oc that looks like him atp 😭

anyways,not making this any longer cuz its probs boring- but yeah,i fully agree that some artists are way too weird like borderline problematic about the way they draw orion pax/optimus prime

more ppl need to speak up on this topic tbh

Not at all boring to read lol, I like getting long asks, anyhow...

Yeaaaahhhh, like I'm not trying to say people can't draw or write Optimus or Orion as being more soft or "submissive" or whatever. Do what you want with those characters, I'm not the fandom police, but there's a point where it becomes weird.

Like you're taking a guy, you're taking Optimus fucking Prime and rewriting his character so not only is his agency just gone but his entire being revolves around being the cutesy boyfriend in a ship with a big masc man and nothing else, he's seemingly incapable of doing anything he's proven to be skillful in... despite being a very strong and courageous character...

also yeah I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels very weird about the Orion being blind AU, I'm not against the idea, I think it could be interesting but all they really did (last time I saw it and a bunch of the art for it) was take a character, make them disabled, and suddenly they need to be coddled around and rescued by an abled person from a fight that IN CHARACTER they could've done something about or didn't have to cry like a child about it... like someone in the comments of my post said, it's bordering on ableism, but I don't wanna label anyone.

atp this website should just let me opt in to tags im willing to see rather than blocking this many

Do you ever feel like you run out of qsmp content to consume on tumblr because of the blocked tags?

^ not at all a criticism of blocking tags, I do it liberally lol, just curious because it happens to me sometimes

not really; part of the reason why i have to block so many tags is because i follow so many people in order to see a lot of qsmp stuff. because i like keeping up to date with as many characters as possible i like to see a lot of stuff, but that also means seeing shit i don't want to see or seeing incredibly stupid & biased takes from people who only main one POV (at which point i usually just block and move on with my life; if you can't step outside your characters pov for single second, you're not working with this medium right).

i DO have issues with not seeing enough about roier and cellbit on my dash honestly-- i hear every detail about tubbo and bad and foolish's streams, but whenever i miss a cellbit stream i know ill have to watch it back myself because people won't have said what happened because there's such fewer cellbit fans on here, and same goes for roier. although there's definitely more spanish speakers on here than brazilians so i do get some of what happens on his streams. in general, though, there are like three people on here who care about cellbit enough to post about him and im one of them so :/ i need to up the propaganda or something i feel like im going insane

there's also far less fanart on here than there is for other mcyt fandoms, which is sad, so i do often find myself combing through every character's tag hoping to find new art but ive already found it all. this isn't a criticism of fanartists, qsmp just isn't as popular on here and that's reflected in the amount of art.

anyway i don't really have a hard time finding content about most characters but there's a few where it is a struggle, though not because of blocking tags. and the reason i block so many tags is because i just do not share the same taste in other media as the people i follow, so i pretty much have to block whatever other stuff they post about or ill want to scream. and bc i have every variation of cc & q neg blocked along with usual tws.

i suppose because of how many people i have blocked im probably missing some qsmp content, but i have people blocked because they're awful and post misinfo or are just annoying so like. im not gonna unblock them just to see bad analyses of bad or cellbit or tubbo on my dash. i have a few things that earn an instant block from me, and misinfo is a big one, along with just being mean as hell or bigoted in some way. idk im very particular about cultivating my dash and although im frustrated often, that's more due to the state of fandom & online culture in general at the moment (bad) than all that specific to this fandom.

reading the entirety of both exchange policy and exposure response (so far) was what kept me sane during the six hour trip to a family reunion that i Do Not want to be at, so thanks!

they had me cackling the whole time, you did such a good job balancing the comedy and incredible story, just like the actual show did! and the characterization is so amazingly spot-on, i'm actually being so autistic about it /pos (like genuinely, i did my happy/excited stimming several times while reading and i had to force myself to Chill so my family didn't notice)

i love shou's mom So Much, your version of her is my favoritist version EVER, she feels so real!!!

and ritsu. RITSU!!!! GAH he's my favorite character and HDBSBANANDJSJJDJFOSKAKXNSKALLAFJJDNSSHSHJSJSISISISKJFJDJWIWIWIWIIWJWJSJWJDJDJDBBDHSBSBBWHWHSHDHJWIWIQIFIIEIWIWISJDHHDHSJS i can't even put it into WORDS i love how you write him, he's so OCD and Deranged and so so kind but also a little shit and most of all Very Gay (but can't seem to figure that last part out) i love it ALL i am going to SCREAM

shou has me giggling so hard but i almost feel bad for him atp, lil bro could grab ritsu by the shoulders, look him in the eyes, and shout "I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, GO OUT WITH ME" and ritsu would be like "what do you mean by that tho"

but the entirety of shou's characterization has me YIPPIEing really loud, you write him so well!! also, is his tendency to put his feet up on reigen's things a reference to the stage play? i remember him doing that lmao

i could scream in here for hours because SERIOUSLY I LOVED EVERYTHING AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER, but i won't because it's 12AM and i will never Shut Up

since i'm gonna be stuck at this reunion for a few days, i'm totally gonna draw some fanart for exposure response (i'm going to have a lot of time on my hands with the amount of avoiding socialization that i'm going to be doing) and i'll tag you when i do

all in all, amazing fics!! thank you for writing them, you have no idea who i am but i really appreciate you putting the time and effort into your writing and sharing it with us strangers on the internet :3

i'll probably be back in your inbox sometime soon, so see ya then!

thank you so so much for this ask!! i'm honored and overjoyed and just grinning ear to ear right now!!

also YES shou putting his feet up on reigen's furniture was a reference to the stage plays haha. i'm glad somebody caught that!!!

absolutely please tag me in any art you make about this fic, any time people make art for my writing i start doing backflips going YAYYY YIPPEE i'm so grateful

i hope your family reunion is easy to bear! i wish you the best of luck in avoiding socialization lol
