If I was part of a worse fandom, people would be making threesome art between Suds, Rian, and the Ascendant Engine.

not proshipper not anti but a secret third thing (person who has a career in the media and, through covering legislative politics, has watched "associating with problematic fiction or entertainment is an indicator of moral degeneracy" rapidly become a mainstream GOP position that they are encoding in legislation to target the queer community under the guise of protecting children, thus coming to the conclusion that positioning the "can people enjoy things that would be immoral IRL in their fiction" debate as a proship v anti fandom debate is akin to pretending that "should we have the death penalty" is a discussion that only matters in Death Note discourse — the extent and manner to which fiction affects reality is an issue that is immediately relevant to today's US politics, and to summarize my opinions on the matter in fandom terms would be to diminish the ways this debate is affecting america Right The Fuck Now. and i have stopped taking "this person is bad for shipping the wrong anime thing and being horny about it" in any sort of good faith ever since I saw it literally used as part of a GOP smear campaign against a transgender state legislator in an attempt to defend the right from backlash after they used their supermajority in the Montana house to prevent her from speaking on the floor. Anyway I think everyone on this site, especially Americans, could benefit from ceasing to think in proship v anti vocabulary and instead developing coherent political positions on the nature of fiction that do not directly align with current fascist political tactics)

You die worried that your internet browser history hasn't been deleted. I die happy knowing that I used incognito mode for all my degenerate activities. We are not the same.

me and my roommate mentioning to our italian colleague that we're going to watch sanremo only to get the answer: oh the last few years it's been really degenerate so it's worse than before

interesting choice of words since as far as i know what's happening in the last few years is that it's campier and gayer 🙄

[mageofminge]

lord forgive me for my sins

fellers i fear i have committed true degeneracy (created a fursona)

[yes-these-obsessions-are-healthy]

The trend of “we need LGBT friendly media to be clean and free of conflict” is starting to shape up like “I need writers to provide me brainless cozy slop or I will kill myself, and if you encourage me to interact with anything more complex than a Bluey plot I will also kill myself because the world is so mean to LGBT people irl so all media concerning us needs to be nice and kind and worry-free to make up for it because I solely rely on disassociating through fiction to keep me alive”.

Art shouldn’t have to scrub itself of moral quandaries and complex subjects just because some of us are mentally ill and struggling politically. The difference between the lgbt media of yore which often ended in tragedy and that made now, was that back then the thought of gay marriage and civil rights and wider public acceptance of our queer existence was a far-off, almost impossible concept. As time went on, queer people more and more began making art for ourselves that explored the labels of dirtiness, degeneracy, sexual depravity as a “yes, and what of it?”. If anything, the [Abject] label gives us even greater freedom to explore what society truly considers wrong because there is nowhere to dig but down.

Yeah there are people who wish to be seen as normal—Daughters of Bilitis-esque conformists, Republican lesbians and gays— and aren’t interested in exploring the deep rotted psyche of the modern man with queerness as a lens. That’s fine. But a lot of us do, and want to do it while injecting homo-ness into it. Heteronormativity is never going to go away, just as white supremacy is never going to be completely eliminated, so why are we playing this song and dance of trying to make art that appeals to our oppressors or which must ONLY serve as bandaids for our egos.

Relying on fiction to keep you from unspooling when there are so many real life role models past and present you could learn about and internalize.. but you don’t because it’s much easier to sit on the couch and watch a cartoon than to learn. I get it, capitalism chips away at you and demands your energy like a vampire until you can’t handle anything more complex than Blue’s Clues without spiraling into a Doomer fugue, but demanding everyone else operate on your level is presumptuous and entitled. To be human is to have the right to be wrong, trashy, nasty, “problemaaaaaatic”.

I need more trashy queers trying to messily solve messy issues and half-failing at it. DATV is all queerness, no messiness, no true deep-rooted conundrums that make you doubt your own principles or want to discuss it with friends. A world where no one wins but you might potentially do a bit better each time. Maybe. I signed up for that shit and didn’t get it.

9, 16 andddddd uhhhhh 6??? 😊

AHHHH! THANK U FOR ASKING <3333

9. Write a recommendation of someone else's fic you enjoyed!

Reconstruction by @cyanichexanthine @cardinal-hexation

I absolutely ADORE this fic. It's such a great introspective look into Rick's perceived notions about Prime and how he thinks/believes Prime perceives him. I adore the prose, Hex writes wonderfully vivid/visual prose and it's so easy to imagine the scenes in my head. It's such a gutwrenching fic and there's one scene that grasps my heart and soul forever. The Prime dialogue is honestly so good and so in character and I love the difficult questions that put Rick on the spot. Overall, the premise is so deliciously angsty and so so SO great.

Blips and Chitz by @thatfinewine

GOD. THE QUEEN OF WRITING SUCCINCTLY. This less than 1300 word fic literally DESTROYS me every time I read it. It is the most in character prickcest I have ever read. I absolutely adore the way Prime is characterised here, the way he challenges Rick but even through all the tension... the fact that they still hang out together makes me so CAT SCREAM. This fic is so perfect the way it describes both Rick and Prime as characters and their relationship together, but explored through a simple video game at the arcade... honestly can't say enough good things about this fic tbh

BOTH OF THESE FICS ARE A MUST READ IN MY OPINION.

16. Do people irl know you participate in fandom?

OH LORDY NO LMAO my partner sort of knows I draw... maybe write, but he doesn't know the FULL EXTENT OF MY FUJOSHI DEGENERACY AND JUST HOW MUCH I CAN SHIT OUT YAOI SMUT LMFAO.

6. Show us a bit of a WIP!

HHHHHHHHH OKAY. Just for you, I'll show you a few snippets of some fics that will probably never make it out of the drafts LMAOOO 😭💀

First SS Premise: the boys sign up to be participants for a special experiment

Second SS Premise: the boys go get some ice cream... :)

I have been absent!

To anyone who might be following me, I have been silent for a while, and I might be silent even more in the coming days. TL;DR, I've been taking a break from and I think I will break from Tumblr even loneer. I haven't given up on my online presence, but I haven't really been in the right mindset for it either. I feel like I haven't been fulfilling my goal of focusing on an irl job lately and because of that anxiety I have shut down a bit.

I'm a quiet person by default, but I haven't been this detached with social media in forever. I'm taking doodling slowly because ideas are coming to me just as slowly. I think I'm experiencing a bit of burn out is all. Taking this break will help me focus on things that are important to me right now, getting out and just taking time to go someplace new, and focus on building up my confidence.

I might return soon, I might not. I still want to upload doodles, but I don't think I'll be uploading them on Tumblr for a while. I just want the quiet space I have on my blog for now. 

If you want to know what blog I'm talking about, it's this one:

So don't worry about me, I'm going to be ok, I hope this doesn't come across as a plea for comfort. I just don't think I'm doing a good job with handling myself. Though, if you are concerned, I do appreciate it. It's always nice knowing that there are still people out there who care. 🧡

Take care everyone, enjoy life!

Hey! Just wanted to say, glad to see you back, hope life hasn't been rough with you. I can't wait to see what else you'll draw and how far your art will improve!

Hey! Thanks man! Life is rough, but its what makes people strong. Hey! That month, I learned to put a make-up on my face (I am pretty! :D) I got work (although its temporary, its still work!), I lost some weight (a long way to go! Aiming for 150 pounds right now!) and I have come to appreciate my irl friends. Whenever there are downs, there will be ups. All I have to do is go through it and appreciate what is given to me.

As for content and art, I actually came back wanting to make a lot of them! Something to pour my heart into (and maybe my degeneracy considering who I am) and I just want to draw some fluff and spice. I will improve along the way!

Anyway, thanks for checking in on me. A lot of people came to chat to me and I really appreciate it and I love you all for giving me your time when you dont have to. I will pay back with some content.

And thanks nitz, I am not about to generalize my thanks lol. You are a good peep! I hope I see you around more ^^

[blossoms-phan]

guys I’m sorry I’m so not normal about tøp I started listening in 2015 during the blurryface era when I was officially knee deep in the dan and phil degeneracy and I’ve never been this around for an album release I supported them from afar but was more of a casual listener until a little bit after trench but what I’m trying to say is that I’ve never had the opportunity to see them live and idk anyone who listens to them irl so I haven’t gotten tickets for the tour but my god listening to the album in its full is just reminding me of how much I love them and their music and craft and idc what I have to do I NEED TO SEE THE CLANCY TOUR

[shesay]

the "sensitive male" situation 😭💀 is so just insane like there r males who get "panic attacks" when their gfs don't wanna have sex w em like I've literally heard of it irl 😭 like what does that even mean this is literal degeneracy like unfortunately u won't die from sex deprivation lmao 💀

[agent-cupcake]

return to JJk hell with us. (FYI, It sucks. And FYI I think you sent me here. Headpusher!Suguru pushed me off a cliff, straight down to the second layer. )

Unfortunately I will need to kick this recent fixation I have with Jeff Ward before moving on to anything else. Ik nobody follows me for irl dudes but

Like. Woah. The Clown was just gateway drug and now I am in too deep. I'm aiming to get the fic out before the end of the year and then we may return to our regularly scheduled anime degeneracy, BUT until then

[vi-sigoth]

I actually think a lot of Internet “Christian trads” don’t believe what they claim to. Yeah yeah, I know, calling out someone for lying on the Internet, how groundbreaking. But—

When I was vegan (it was a bad time in my life, I don’t want to talk about it), I hung out with a lot of vegans/vegetarians, because, you know, when you’re fucking insufferable you need to find other people to live your insufferable lifestyle with, and I literally talk to none of them anymore—anyway. I hung out with a lot of vegans and went to a lot of vegan food festivals and cafes in the urban area where I used to live; and roughly speaking, you could categorize these people into about three different categories, with plenty of overlap between them:

1. People that went vegan because they thought it would improve their health/wanted to eat cleaner.

2. People that legitimately thought that going vegan was the best way to address cruel animal husbandry practices (which, let’s face it, there are plenty, so you could see why someone might be led into it), and—

3. People that were absolute fucking assholes who searched for an easy ideology/ belief system to latch onto and use as a vehicle for their vile personality. I’m talking about dudes who punched unwitting waiters in restaurants blocking the path to smash the lobster tank, men who sent women posing with a gun and a dead buck on Instagram rape and death threats(but it’s okay! They were just scumbag carnists! They deserved it!). Women working for PETA screaming through a megaphone held inches away from passerby’s ears.

Those people might’ve pretended they were vegan for the animals, sure. But the truth is, had they actually sat down and done any sort of deep self-reflection (assuming they had the capacity to do so) they’d find that veganism was merely the ideological vehicle for whatever anger and disenfranchisement they had inside them. I mean after all, veganism gives you endless Internet debate opportunities and endless ways to vent your anger out into the world.

And I really think there’s some Tumblr “trads” that are like this too. They’re almost always converts. They pick Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or one of the many flavors of Protestantism and lean hard into it. You see, for “Christian” “trad” bros, this provides a comfort. It’s not their horrendous personality that repels women, it’s that all women are fallen whores who won’t submit to a husband, and just like, don’t worry king, your based trad gun loving biblical virtuous virgin is out there, keep posting white women extinct button Pepe memes, Jesus fashwave edits, and uppity posts about how all non-Catholics are going to hell while not living any of the Christian values you espouse online in real life, she’s out there bro. It’s okay that you’re a creepy incel, no one has to know as long as you call woman whores, say the N word and have a Bible quote in your bio. And the women? Some of you are just fucking unlikable cunts, but it’s okay! Since Jesus forgives everything, you can be as big of a snotty bitch and bully online and let’s face it, probably IRL too, it’ll all be washed away, or so you say on your Tumblr blog in between pretending that your Internet Christianity gives you the moral high ground in any argument.

Now keep in mind, I don’t think this of all the Christians on Tumblr, or even most of them, but man, some of you are so fake it’s nauseating. And you know, I absolutely believe that the world is rife with demonry and degeneracy, but sometimes, the problem isn’t demons. Sometimes, it’s simply horrendous character flaws and a vile personality that had any of these people ACTUALLY turned to religion, they would have been forced to come face to face with.

[chuuyascumsock]

I like how sometimes your asks will be filled with the most horrendous, concerning and flabbergasting thing ever and your tag will be like "casual ask" 😀

I put casual bc they’re things that I’d say to my irl friends (they have seen the worst of my degeneracy LMAO).
