#I’ve blocked half the creepy shippers anyway

[neutron-stars-collision]

I’m starting a “debunking bullshit” list because I’m tired of this shit. Warning: it’s long. And possible with typos lol. So, if you want logical approach, Luke-centred bc that’s just my angle, here it is:

- Luke and Nicola are just friends. Very good friends, with cool chemistry and a close bond, but friends. Here’s to hoping all this fandom drama doesn’t destroy that.

- I doubt they’re “beefing” because why would they be? Two adults, who have known each other for the past five years, are both likely in relationships and maybe had been since before the press tour. There’s no reason to beef and no signs are actually pointing to that as soon as you drop the Lukola-tinted glasses.

- If there’s anything they want to discuss, share, vent, they do it in private, not via social media. They’re not petty teenagers.

- Related to that: Instagram activity and interaction doesn’t mean shit about their actual relationship. Lack of comments/likes doesn’t mean they are arguing.

- Sometimes, an ig story is just that. Not a secret message. Luke posting about travelling (maybe with his girlfriend) is not “trolling” - it’s choosing to share something with fans and hoping they’re normal (fans failed, I’m afraid).

- Same with Nicola. The plane story wasn’t a secret message, it was her thanking an airline and sharing something alongside it. The fact that it came after Luke’s story is just a coincidence.

- Both Luke and Nicola aren’t obliged to share anything with us - relationships, plans, etc. If they choose to do so, we have no right to expect anything from them.

- Neither Luke nor Nicola should need to “hard launch” relationships on socials for us to see. It’s as official as all four involved parties want it to be. If Luke chooses to never post A, then it’s likely because he doesn’t want to deal with the shitshow.

- They haven’t manipulated you with the press tour. They offered as much as they were comfortable with, never lied that they’re more than friends. If anyone has manipulated anyone else, it’s Lukolas themselves.

- If, as I think is true, we won’t get a Polin selfie, it’s those crazy fans that should be responsible. Not Luke. Not Nicola. Not A or J.

- Neither of the four parties deserves hate, bullying or stalking.

I’m not talking about age gaps here because I think that’s a thing everyone has to determine for themselves. But whatever you think, hating on Luke or Nic is still not cool. Just stop following them if it bothers you so much. Don’t engage, it’s simple.

So that’s it, a little essay from someone who’s annoyed with the discourse. This might be the last thing I say on the topic, unless you piss me off again. Either way, take it or leave it, idc.

[angels-heap]

Uhm all we're asking is the adults in the hl fandom should stop being fucking weird bc there's kids here! like if all the minors think something is sus then maybe it's... creepy... and you should stop

I’ve addressed this issue multiple times before so I’m not going to write another dissertation, but it sounds like a few important points bear repeating:

1. The Half Life games are rated M. They are not for children. Children are welcome to enjoy them if they want to and their parents/guardians allow it, but they have no room to complain about mature themes in the games or the fandom because they are not the series’ target audience. I recently discussed this in more detail here and here, when people tried to give me shit for writing (fairly vanilla, properly tagged, healthy) ns/fw fanfiction; the asks themselves are sfw. And while we’re on the topic, HLVRAI is clearly not intended to be “children’s media” either; it’s full of ns/fw humor and older pop culture references. 

2. The core of the Half Life fandom has always been comprised mostly of people in their late teens to mid-30s. It was also a pretty chill, calm, healthy community for the 16 years preceding the influx of HLVRAI stuff. It’s nice to see that new, younger people are getting into the series, but y’all can’t just barge into a new fandom and demand that people stop doing harmless things that have brought them joy for over a decade because you personally don’t like certain ships or characters.

3. I’m assuming this is about freemance, and as I’ve said a thousand times before, there’s nothing wrong with freemance. Also, one glance at AO3 or the tumblr tags (prior to the avalanche of HLVRAI content, anyway) would have made it quite clear that the majority of the fandom ships (or at least doesn’t loathe) freemance, so it’s not like this was some creepy little secret that we started subtly pushing on minors after we lured them into our evil adult lairs. 

4. There is a difference between “this thing makes me personally uncomfortable” and “this thing is morally wrong.” Please learn to recognize it. If you don’t like a ship, here are some healthier suggestions as to how to deal with those feelings, because sending accusatory anons to random content creators isn’t helping anyone.  

5. There are plenty of minors in the HL fandom who ship freemance. I’m obviously not going to list them all here because I don’t trust trolls not to harass them, but here’s a relevant anon ask I received from a 14 year old a while back. This isn’t a minors vs. adults debate so much as it’s a “people who know shit about Half Life” vs. “people who don’t know shit about Half Life and/or have done extensive mental gymnastics to interpret canon in the worst possible way” debate. 

6. To my knowledge, nobody in the “old” tumblr HL fandom is being weird to minors. (If anyone’s heard otherwise, please let me know and I’ll do what I can to help address it.) Especially in light of the recent drama, a lot of “old fandom” folks have attempted to make their blogs 16+ or 18+ and started doing a lot of their socializing in age-restricted spaces away from tumblr. Even those of us who don’t go out of our way to preemptively block minors have been careful to establish boundaries when we do occasionally chat with them. Not to mention, as a grown-ass adult, I don’t really have a desire to form close friendships with minors in the fandom; like, some of y’all are awesome people, but I just can’t relate past a certain point and I prefer to socialize with people closer to my own age. You know, like a normal person. 

If you’re worried about people over the age of 18 doing sketchy shit like... oh geez, I dunno, promoting their discord servers to minors, offering cash incentives to minors to get other minors to join those servers, forming uncomfortably close personal relationships with minors, encouraging minors to engage in age-inappropriate discourse, and creating an isolating cult of personality around hating a large subsection of the fandom over a total non-issue... I hear that’s a thing that’s happening, but it’s definitely not the freemance shippers who are doing it. 

[dramaphan]

So I was recently blocked by a fellow phannie because I posted this rant below her 2012 "no homo Howell" gif set. I understand there are parts of this you might not agree with, but I just wanted to know if any of this made sense to someone else.

Apparently none of y’all remember the part when Dan said, “I definitely sent some mixed messages. Some were just joking around, others were super defensive that in my panic came across like, ‘I’m now telling everyone I’m totally straight,’ when all I really meant was, ‘Please fuck off and don’t invade my privacy, you creepy stalkers, thank you.’” I am for all intents and purposes a “shipper” and I’ve never seen anything wrong with believing Dan and Phil are queer and in a relationship or with finding immense joy in that. What has really bothered me for years was people making assumptions and gossiping about Dan’s own feelings about his sexuality, including all the “no homo Howell” jokes and memes about “character development” mocking the things he said in the past when he was scared and trying to protect himself. Honestly I find that completely appalling, especially now that we know internalized homophobia was an incredibly traumatic and deeply personal struggle for him. Also, it’s possible that’s why it took about a year and a half after “Living My Truth” for Dan to make a video again, because apparently everyone was so invested in the narrative of him overcoming internalized homophobia (something he hadn’t opened up to us about yet) that he couldn’t even make a dick joke without people collectively losing their shit because they were so goddamn eager for him to come out. I understand how important it is for the LGBT community to hear stories about overcoming internalized homophobia and achieving self-acceptance (I live in ALABAMA for God’s sake, and to this day I can’t listen to Hayley Kiyoko’s “Girls Like Girls without crying). That being said, oversimplifying Dan’s personal story and reducing him to your “Gay Inspiration ™” IS. JUST. FUCKING. GROSS. Anyways, now that he’s finally opened up about his feelings and his personal journey, it’s high time people shut the fuck up about it. 

Anyways, what really gets to me is how people used gifs like that to make fun of Dan for his apparent insecurity (as well as that stupid "why the fuck you lying" clip in every single Phan crack video) and thought they were actually being helpful and supportive tearing down his past self and making everything in the present about his slow path to self-acceptance, even though he was no where near ready to disclose any of that to us yet, and now people are still using those gifs to showcase his personal journey from their perspective. Just be happy for him and fuck off.

RETURN OF THE RWBY MICKSTERECAPS-(Rwby Volume 6x01 “Argus Limited” spoilers)

HEY EVERYBLOODY-sorry I’m a day late, went to a punk show and got home around 2 AM-EITHER WEITHER-let’s get to the show!

WE START OUT WITH-

A niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice and snowy landscape, *SIGH* so peaceful-BUT SUDDENLY-

0:28 First rule of Rwby, any scene that starts with a train is gon’ have SHIT GOIN’ DOWN YO!

0:32 See that? Giant fluffy Manticore Grimm-BUT THAT FUCKER GETS SLASHED-

0:38 I love the smell of Grimm dust *SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFF* smells like victory-BUT THEN-

0:45 A WILD WEISS APPEARS-all smilin’ and KICKIN’ ASS!

0:57 AND FINALLY-

BUMBLEBEE-fighting together with absolutely no awkward tension between the two of them at a-PFFT-HAHAHAHAHA-oh I couldn’t say that with a straight face, but seriously they’re in a better place than last season. ALSO-

1:05  TEAM JNR-fashionably late as always, the sassy bitches.

Nora: WHY IS IT ALWAYS SOMETHING?!

Jaune: BECAUSE WE TRAVEL WITH MILO MURPHY’S ALCOHOLIC COUSIN!

And everybody just starst BLASTING THE SHIT OUT OF GRIMM-Ren sniping with knife guns, Jaune blocking with his shield, and Nora just doing her thing-ALSO-

1:17 FIRST RENORA MOMENT OF THE SEASON-at least ONE section of the shippers will be sated...although I DO find it weird how the two haven’t kissed on screen  yet, I mean like why not? They are UNDOUBTEDLY a couple now, what they tryna hide? Its kinda like how in a lot of Shonen manga when NO official couple kisses on screen, just odd to me.

Everything’s going fine...well fine for battle standards-UNTIL-

1:24 Jaune: TUNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!

Damn Miles has some pipes.

Everybah starts RUNNIN’ to the tunnel-BUT-

1:29

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWeiss gets suckerblasted by one of the manticore Grimm-IS THIS HER END?! 

NOPE-almost girlfriend to the rescue! AND THEN-

1:33 WHITEROSE COMBO MOVE-awesome.

WOO-that was one god damn minute and a half, like seriously! After that triumphant scene I’m sure we won’t transition to something absolutely horrifyi-

2:23 Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus Adam, you do NOT take getting dumped lightly do you? Ah well, at least he has that expensive chai-

2:32 *SLASH*

DAMMIT ADAM-what’d that chair ever do to you? Could’ve at least sold it at a Pawn shop, got a couple hundred Lien I’m betting, absolutely wasteful, SHAME Adam-SHAME! 

ATHENCUTTO-

2:44 THE TRAIN STATION FROM AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER-but in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuture! Nah it ain’t, but it TOTALLY looks like that right?

Qrow than gives a shameless recap-I MEAN-reads his own letter that he’s sending to General Ironwood(he probably wrote it drunk so I’m betting he was checking for spalling erors...don’t you JODGE me) which he ends with-

3:43 “See you soon, bro”.

‘Daaaaaaaaw!

BUT THEN-a wild Ruby appears, utterly excited that her train’s coming up so she could get out of that god damned train station! I understand her antsyness, the wait can be a NIGHTMARE!

3:50

Well that hall way has enough space, I’m sure Ruby can just saunter on over to the gift shop-

...or use her semblance and dash on over there like a crazy person. One of these days your gonna HIT someone young lady-GAH!

Team...RWBY...OJNR...Ruby O’Junior, yeah let’s go with that, then has a short moment of shooting the shit.

Heh, look at these two, fussing over gifts-PROTECT THESE SWEET BABY CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS! 

ALSO-a random Nora Beach fantasy!

...that apparently leaked its way into reality. Oscar H. Pines, Nora is so thirsty to see Ren in a swimsuit she alters time and SPACE!

BUT-just when you thought everybody is completely happy about this-

4:31 WEISS-casually reminds everyone how hard it was for her to escape her abusive father, and how this is hard for her-CONTINUITY!

After Ruby than gives the obligatory pep-talk-WE ARE INTRODUCED TO-

-Dee and Dudley, two corrupt pro-huntsman who try to shake down Ruby O’Junior, one of whom is JUST 2 weeks from retirement.

They also condescendingly tell them they’ll give them extra protection if they pay them...did...did these idiots NOT watch the news?! THEY’RE PRACTICALLY A SUPERHERO TEAM!

AND NOW-the greatest Rwby Reaction pose of ALL time-

5:05

THIS right here, THIS is art.

Qrow than shows up and GIVES THEM THE BUSINESS! No-one tries to shake down HIS kids! 

5:17

Look at Dee’s dumbfounded ass face after talking back, this is Qrow fucking BRANWEN mother fucker! Now go lock that gate that Adam sneaked into!

5:48 Oscar: I’m sure glad its our job saving the world and not theirs.

Jaune: Yeah, now if ONLY one of us didn’t hide a billion secrets from all of us because reasons.

Ozpin: Okay let me at him.

Oscar: YOU SIT IN YOUR SHAME OLD MAN!

After that, everyone in Team Ruby O’Hara is READY to go, except for Blake which Weiss points out...in the best way possible-

5:55 Weiss: Just waiting for Blake, as usual.

HAHA-she abandoned her team for months on end.

A THEN CUT TO-

6:02 Blake saying good-bye to her almost-ex-girlfriend Ilia, and its just SWEET.

6:24 WHOA-that’s a little forward Ili-

6:25 Ooooooooooh that was DIRTY Rooster Teeth, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID! DAH-but its still a cute good bye-ALSO-

6:55 BEST BOY SUN WUKONG-here to say good bye as well!

OH-and Neptune’s here too. Hi Neptune, still living under that idiotic lady killer facade?

Neptune: OH...I didn’t know Ilia was gonna be here.

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup.

7:22 Blake: Wrong tree.

Sun: Yeah teaching him gaydar is one of many many MANY reasons I gotta rejoin my team.

The two than have a nice heart to heart about where they’re going in life, Sun needs to go back to Vacuo to be with his team he LITERALLY abandoned, Blake needs to save the world from a Maleficent cosplayer, they’re just passing ships in the night and it comes to a head...when Sun says this-

7:55 Sun:I GO WHERE I’M NEEDED...and...you don’t need me anymore!

Blake:...well when you say it like that it sound sad.

Aw man, sad Blake ears.

Sun(paraphrased): Despite everything I had a lot of fun but-

-you’re with who you’re supposed to be with now.

Bumblebee shippers will interpret THAT how they want to and I. Do. Not. Blame. THEM!

Sun and Blake than finish off their good bye saying they’ll probably see it again(and by probably we know definitely because COME ON Michael Jones is one of the heavy hitters in Rooster Teeth). The good bye then ends-

-with a cute Blacksun peck on the cheek. Feel conflicted about which ship for Blake is better yet? If not, you haven’t been watching this show so...what the hell are you reading this blog for? SHORT CUT TO-

8:49 

Neptune: I dunno man, it feels like your just letting her go.

Says the guy who can’t stick to one crush for more than five seconds. Notice how he didn’t say hi to Weiss? Because she’s logically MAD you blue haired Lothario!

AFTER THAT-there’s THIS little scene:

Sun: Now that your leader’s back and hardened from battle, I’ve gotta focus all of my time on getting you boys ready for the wastelands.

9:01

Neptune: *SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH*.

Anyone else think Neptune’s sigh might mean something more than just annoyance? I know Sun said his team was okay with the small hiatus, but what if they weren’t? Also maybe he was insulted by Sun implying that his team was just standing around without him, that while Sun was going on his adventure time standed still with them. Sun’s a good kid, and was mature enough to let Blake go once she got her real team back, but even to his own admittance he’s not the best leader. Just saying, food for thought.

A THEN CUT TO-

9:05 A nice snowy train where nothing bad is gonna happen. And INSIDE THE TRAIN-

-a totally not-suspicious looking Maz Napata from Star Wars meets old lady Katara from Legend of Korra who will TOTALLY not interact with the main cast...totally. BUT-enough about that-BEHOLD-

9:22 ALL of team Rwby sleeping in a bunkbed room like the good old days-HUZZAH! But all is not well AS THERE IS ALSO-

SUPER AWKWARD TENSION BETWEEN YANG AND BLAKE! But nah, Yang tells Blake that while things are weird and it’ll take a while before things get back to normal, she glad she and her posse are back together which PROMPTS-

THIS cuteness, which Whiterose shippers will interpret how they will.

Either way its TIME TO PLAY VIDEO GAM-

*CRASH*

10:31

DAMN that was a tough crash, it made Qrow lose his usually iron grip on booze! A THEN CUT TO-

...the...beginning of the episode...yeah I don’t know why they wrote the story like this either, I guess to start the season with a bang in showing how team RWBY is back in sync but I dunno.

But hey don’t worry, DEE AND DUDLEY are on the case, and I’m sure it TOTALLY doesn’t matter that Dee is two weeks from retirement!

*GASP* I am truly shocked. You shall always be remembered Dee, as a creepy weirdo who tried shake down a bunch of highschoolers for money.

THEN fighting fighting fighting, AND THEN-Dundey remembers he’s a security officer in charge of a high tech train!

12:06

I show four pictures here to point out that that WHOLE sequence took less than a MINUTE! Its like WE GET IT Rooster Teeth, you have an animation budget now! 

It also activated the turrets which take out ALL four of these Grimm, which I’m SURE the boss Grimm won’t notic-

12:46 Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhit it  noticed. It tells the lesser Grimm to attack the turrets and...oh god I found this by accident but it must be shared-

It landed-ASS FIRST! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And as to be expected knocking out the turrets didn’t JUST take out their defenses-

But ALSO-put the passengers in danger. Its like, use the turrets some Grimm die but they’ll attack the train more, DON’T use the turrets and they’ll attack anyway with less dead grimm, its a total catch 22!

Obviously bad-ass Qrow Branwen realizes and gets his TOP GUY TO STOP DUNDY-

...Oscar...desperate times I suppose.

Dundey like an idiot DOESN’T listen to the logical decision to turn off the glowing red fuck me spots for the Grimm to hit, and even MORE idiotically-

*CRACK* NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

...decides to hang from the SIDE of a train going into a tunnel....instead of finding a way to duck...how many good Huntsmen/Huntresses did Salem’s unnamed faction kill, because I can’t help thinking he and his late partner were scraped from the bottom of the barrel.

BACK in the train, everyone’s as completely calm as they possibly could be.

14:19 Qrow: I SAID, turn those damn things OFF! *SLAM*

Seriously, in this situation Qrow is SUPER calm, I’d wanna kick his ass too.

Ruby then ACTUALLY calmly asks the guy to turn off the turrets(she’s got resolve of STEEL that one) AND THEY COME UP WITH A PLAN-to use a combo of Jaune’s Aura-booster powers and Ren’s emotion mask powers to mask the train. A plan that I’m sure will go off without ONE hit-

15:32 Oscar: I’m afraid there’s one complication.

Son of a god damned bitch Oz, I SWEAR TO GOD!

“The Grimm are also attracted...to this.”

Logically team Rugby O’Shaunnesy is as pissed at Oz as the fans for putting everyone in danger without telling them because he’s a mysterious wizard.

BUT-they gotta stay on task and kick Oscar in the nuts later, THEY MUST SAVE THE PYORPLES!

Sadly, they realize that they have to seperate the car with the passengers masked by Ren and Jaune, from the one with Team RWBY Qrow and a dumb old man in a child’s body. The two teams have to say good bye.

Jaune: Only if you’ll promise you’ll meet us there.

Ruby: Promise.

Weiss: Just know it’ll probably take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time for us to get there.

Qrow: I estimate about 12 to 14 epis-I MEAN days.

Team Bad-name-pun then SPRINGS INTO ACTION-getting all the passengers in the front car-

16:29

-including this one bespectacled passenger who will in no way affect the plot in any way no and forever QUIT ASKING ABOUT IT!

Blake then cuts the cable cars-BUT SEES-

GAH-stalker much? I can’t believe Adam followed them-OR DID HE-

Is it actually Adam, or PTSD induced hallucination, FIND OUT NEXT EPISODE!

And what’s cool about the next sequence is that it needed NO explanation, you get it obviously from what you see.

Rubes gets JUST enough of a signal from Nora-

-so the MOMENT the Grimm land-

17:02

“NOW!”

-they start the maneuver.

No real comment on here other than how I LOVE how the black and white color palette over-takes the colored train car.

And then BACK TO FIGHTING!

And dear GOD there are so many great Grimm-kills here, so many I’d be here ALL day cutting and pasting every single one so I’ll just put the boss take down-STEP ONE-

Yang slides herself to the back-

-Blake THROWS it to Yang-

-AND YANG JUST PUNCHES THAT SHIT BACK-

-tying that greasy Grimm in PLACE-WHICH WEISS CONTINUES-

-with a classic “Freeze that fucker’s wings off attack”(with assistance from Ruby and Qrow of course for shattering said wings)-and then Uncle and Niece-

-get they scythes in gear-

-AND THEY SLASH THAT BITCH IN TWO! AND.THIS.IS.JUST.THE.FIRST.EPISODE!

BUT-the beast lets out ONE last fireball knocking them off track and....EVERYONE IS OKAY-incluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuding-

-THIS LADY-whose name I’ve read is Maria Callavera! Turns out she WASN’T just a random side character, I couldn’t tell with how HEAVILY lampshaded it was!

AND THAT’S VOLUME 6 EP 1-a fantastic start to the season with AMAZING action and animation, and great story-progression. Minor criticism, I still feel they didn’t need to do a “Something hours earlier” thing with the train battle, they could’ve easily done the story in sequential order and it would have worked just as well if not better. BUT-I still loved it and I hope you did to. If you liked what you read, consider donating to my Paypal on my blog page, I’d appreciate it. SEE YA NEXT WEEK ON MICKSTERECAPS!

[kinkymagnus]

to the anons asking me about if you like the books AND the show, does the dni apply?

i’ve been like. thinking of how i should respond to the two asks in my inbox. for a while now. this is like, by far from the first time i’ve gotten asks like this, but usually they aren’t so long and close together. and like. i don’t even know where to begin, because i’ve had to say it so much and clearly you aren’t listening. 

i’ve said, multiple times, i don’t really feel comfortable with book stans/cc apologists/book malec shippers/etc. interacting with me and my content. whether you also like the show or not, the point isn’t not liking the show, it’s liking the books and being okay with their content. and i’ve said why a lot, and there are a lot of reasons. 

like, i know liking the books and supporting cc aren’t necessarily the same thing. i still don’t want people who ship and like book malec to be interacting with my content. i don’t want people who are genuinely okay with the romanticization of incest, the shitty racism and sexism and queerphobia, and etc. etc. interacting with me.. i don’t want people excusing all of that interacting with me. and i really, especially feel uncomfortable with people who ship book malec looking at my content and thinking of it as something that can apply to book malec. especially because i produce a lot of porn/nsfw content. 

i just don’t feel comfortable with the idea of my shit, particularly my nsfw shit, being interpreted as this annoying (and for their establishing books, underage) biphobic little shithead and his creepy stereotype of a sugar daddy boyfriend, and have my content interacted with as such. i don’t write porn for that shit. there’s a thousand things wrong with it both as a text that influences the real world and just as a relationship, and it’s unhealthy and gross and i’m sorry if you like it and you’re offended, but this is my personal blog and i’ve said countless times i don’t like it or want it here. 

not to mention, again, the books are just inherently fucked up, not to mention cc is just literally like, bad at writing. there are no “enjoyable” bits, the enjoyable bits that people like are the shitty unhealthy relationships, the stereotypes, the half-stolen half-racist worldbuilding. if there are any good bits, they are a) probably stolen! and/or b) done better while lacking a lot of the problematic aspects in the show. 

that’s not to say the show is perfect, as it certainly has flaws, and a lot of them carry over from the books. but its most glaring mistakes were almost all made while copying the books and attempting to appease both cc and her fans, and in many areas it did considerably better. particularly when diverging away from the source material.

and anyway, i’m not here to get into a debate about show versus books. i don’t have to justify my opinion. and i’ve asked y’all to just stay away.

i don’t care if you like the books. i’m not saying that makes you inherently a shitty person. i’m saying i don’t want you near my blog. my blog is a place i go to for just like, escape, and stress relief, and fucking around. i don’t want to deal with this kind of thing.

not to mention in the past, before this policy, i’ve been harassed and sent countless hate anons and gross comments. at one point, back when i just had a sideblog, i commented on a shitty hate post crosstagged in the tv show tags (clearly intentionally, even with tags no one uses to emphasis they wanted show stans to see it) about how disgusting and bad the show was, and for replying to it i got harassed so much and my notes were so full of book stans telling me i was stupid and shitty and i should just read the books or whatever else, that i deleted that blog entirely. 

i have had nothing but bad experiences with the book fandom, and the books themselves are, again, complete garbage. 

and i can’t really stop you from making a sideblog with no traces of it or sending in anonymous asks or whatever. i’m asking you not to interact, but realistically, i can’t stop you if you make like, any effort to hide it.

but don’t come here asking for permission. you’re asking because you know the answer, you know i’m not comfortable with it and i’ve said i don’t want that, but you’re hoping if you guilt trip me enough by telling me how much you loooove my blog, if you say “but i like the books AND the show!!” like that makes it okay and i’m the one with a problem, that i’ll hang my head and change my mind and let you walk all over me. it’s insulting and demeaning. 

maybe i am the one with the problem. maybe you think this is me being shitty and like, fuck, “discriminating” or some shit. i don’t really care. i’ve asked you not to interact with one blog, to go find one of the other countless nsfw blogs, and you can either respect that, or you can ignore it, and there’s not much i can do but block you if i see it. but don’t come here trying to ask if i’m really sure. i have been sure the last ten times a book stan has come into my inbox trying to guilt trip me, and i’m sure now. 

i’m sorry you like my content and also cassandra clare’s. and i think a lot of this reply is not even aimed specifically at these anons and more just generally at how this keeps happening and people keep fucking asking me this, but i’m just so fucking done with this. book stans dni. it’s right there in bold, all over my goddamn blog. for book stans, y’all sure seem to have trouble reading.
