#TOPIC CLOSED [!!!!!]

[gunsatthaphan]

Please feel free to ignore this, if you don't want to speak on the topic anymore. :)

I read a translation and explanation of someone (unfortunately I lost the post) who spoke about the Ohm issue and from what I remember I thought the topic was brought up to the school and parents, there were apologies and consequences for Ohm for doing what he did. Of course, the saying boys will be boys is shitty but I think it's difficult to blame someone for doing stupid things almost 10 years ago. Most people will look back on their past and have done something they regret and I think it's unfair to make him out to be the devil just because he is a person in the public eye.

Sorry for the word vomit, I just read a lot of hurtful and hateful words towards Ohm recently and I wonder if I apologise for him too much or if feeling sorry for him is okay too. :(

Totally agree with you. The over emotional involvement should get toned back because once it is discovered that they are actually bad people the fans will either be so troubled or being forgiving when it's not their place to forgive.

-------------------------------------

I put these asks together because I want to close this topic after this but still wanted to share your messages.  

@ anon 1 you’re totally free to forgive whoever you want so it’s absolutely fine if you do!! 

Cancel culture is intense but also kinda temporary. the internet gets heated up over something and a few weeks later everything is back to normal. it happens all the time and I’ve seen tons of people who share your opinion that these actors shouldn’t be held accountable for something they did or said 10 years ago and I agree to some extent but it depends on the incident. if someone commented “no homo” on a picture once when they were 13 then that’s no reason to cancel someone in 2023. But in Ohm’s case, what he did is problematic enough for me to remove him from my radar lol. And not just what he did but also the way he reacted to it in his apology, completely missing the point and proving that he has no understanding of how what he did was wrong, not to mention not even apologizing to the victims. Regardless of if and how he got punished back in the day. 

I guess forgiving is easier than cancelling but in my opinion forgiving culture transmits the message that these people can do whatever they want as long as they post some form of an apology because their fans will forgive them no matter what. Has any (bl) celebrity ever gotten cancelled for real to the point where they lose their platform, followers and get fired from their company? no. and that will never happen even though some people deserve it. Which is probably why I’m a bit more resentful when it comes to these things. I’m not saying Ohm should be fired and banned from all social media but... you get my point. 

As I said it’s up to each individual how to react to these things - there’s no cancellation guidelines lol so it’s totally fine if you feel sorry for him. It’s also  harder when there’s an emotional attachment so I get it. But like anon 2 said, it’s a good idea to tone that down (if possible lol) to avoid possible disappointments.

I didn’t “lay down rules for what fanfic is and isn't”, I gave a definition of fan fiction which is the basic one. But anyway, my point of the message was quite clear and I just wanted to share my opinion with someone who decided to write a fic about a character that appeared for seconds in the trailer so the interpretation of said character is based solely on vibes. So for now until Saltburn doesn’t premiere in the cinemas, it’s just taking Ewan’s face and two lines he said and writing (probably a smut) a story without any context whatsoever. The difference with his other roles is that we know about his characters, the world they live in and what those characters’ roles are in the story so we have a solid ground to base our fics on, here we have basically nothing. I just thought I could have a conversation with you about that. However I sense that we might not understand each other well so I’ll leave you to it. Many people will surely eat your fic up regardless of my opinion so I won’t bother you further ✌🏻

I still don't get why writing something like that: I see movie, see 1 minute which he is in still knowing shit about him, wrote smut and I'm great fanfic writer is 💥💥💥😇😈😈 like right, in this one minute we will get his jokes so you can use them between angst which for sure will make writing smut more interesing.

What I did is I just came up with his backstory which I assume we won't get anyway, but yeah, I decided to not to publish it, so problem solved, kisses, topic closed 🔒

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

[ID: Digital Art of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash’s body is turned slightly away from the viewer as he holds a staggering Wolfwood by his shoulder. He has one foot ahead of the other, the foot in the back used to stabilize himself from tipping over. Wolfwood is tethering into Vash, his weight pressed into him with his arms wrapped around Vash’s waist and his face is hidden away as he leans against Vash’s shoulder. Vash’s expression can be seen, his eyes wide and mouth tight-lipped, and his face is flushed red. A speech bubble comes out from Wolfwood, saying a drawled “Spikeyyy...”. The background are desaturated pastels of blue and green, showing night time, as they stand in the middle of an empty street that is also lit by the moon not depicted. Yellow light is seen coming from the inside of a saloon. End ID]

tbh my thesis on the astronomical clock in prague might just become a redo of a tenth grade thesis i did about the history of clocks. like the question i want to answer is "why does this clock fascinate us so much" and i think the surface level answer is that it looks cool as hell and is in a touristy part of a touristy town - but on the deeper level it's like. well it's one of the oldest mechanical clocks in the world that's still ticking, and it barely looks like the clocks we have now. it's like pshaw of course i can read a clock, you just look at the dial and the hands, right? and then this clock is like. unreadable because the upper dial shows no less than four kinds of time: babylonian time (twelve hours of day + twelve hours of night, but the length of the hours varies depending on the place and time of year), bohemian or italian time (24 hours that start at sunset, good for seeing how many hours of daylight there's left), old germanic time i think it was called (that's just like what we use now except it doesn't account for daylight savings!), and sidereal time (uhhh is this the zodiac circle thing?????? i should know this)

because the thing about how we count time is, WHY do we count time the way we do? why Twelve hours specifically. what matters more, exact measurements of time units, or following the ebb and flow of daylight? has the way the shaped clocks shaped our lives?? MUCH TO THINK ABOUT. or at least i think about it when i see a clock like the orloj.

Why do you always use that to piss me off? ...It makes me happy. We agreed that I'm in charge of the bars. But you come here all the time to watch me. How am I supposed to lead my people? Use your head, okay? Suit yourself. What's the matter? Chen Yi. Chen Yi! [...] Don't make me worry.

This is the last time I'm going to be annoying about this, I swear.

A few examples of that I, a gifmaker, personally love seeing under the tags:

Analysis of said scene, show, or character, especially the long ones going in depth that span like 1000 words

People saying how crisp the GIFs look and how nice the coloring is THANK YOU. ILY GUYS. That's always huge praise for me.

Reacting with how emotional you got with the scene. How painful and emotional or how touching a scene is.

People making funny jokes, memes, comments, etc.

Literally ppl horny posting LMAO. It's super funny to read and I love seeing all the unhinged comments.

Seeing how much you loved the show and its characters

Things I don't like seeing under the tags. And these are just two very specific things:

How much you hate the show, how much you think a scene is bad, how much you hate a character, the ship, the creators, etc. or how much you dont like this ship anymore, calling a ship horrible because ____ reasons. OKAY! I get it! But I don't want to see that. Make your own hate post on your own blog! You're free to have an opinion on how much you hate something. Just do it on your own blog.

Asking why I leave out certain scenes out, why I decided to gif this scene, or not gif more of these characters. Sometimes, I'm just exhausted. I can overlook things. You guys don't know how draining making gifs can get to me, especially the scenes that are really long. But I do it because I LOVE Arcane, the story, and the characters, and the particular scenes that I make gifs of. I have my own biases too. Of course I’m making them first. Please, just make them yourself instead of complaining under the tags of my edits. Yes, I can see them.

Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly appreciate everyone who supports and follows the blog. I want to make a million more HQ gifs of this amazing show, but sometimes, the very rare negativity can still get overwhelming, to the point where it demotivates you.

Arcane is extremely special to me because it's such a fantastic show, and that alone motivates me in trying to create more GIFs. Honestly, if it was any other fandom or show? I would've probably left already. Arcane is THAT great.

I know the block button is there. I use it too, but sometimes, the amount of effort and time you exert to create FOR FREE just isn’t worth it. And that’s why gifmakers and creators stop making things for fandom. It’s not fun anymore. It’s not worth it.

Some people think that making my style of GIFs is easy. Then great! Since you think so, then do it yourself and help create for the fandom too! I wholeheartedly encourage you to do it!

TLDR: Don't be rude on people's fanwork, especially when they are created FOR FREE. If you don’t like their fanwork, you can make them yourself.

[ID: A cartoon drawing of Slimecicle and Juanaflippa, she's on Slime's arms as she has a blank stare at his shoulder, her body is loose as Slime has one hand on the top of her head (the other arm holding her by the side of her torso) he has a disturbed / scared / shocked expression, looking up, not at her, his brows furrowed, his pupils are unfocused. There's blood that has the color of a TV glitch, it's coming from Juana's head, and is on Slime's hand, that is holding her close to him. The TV glitch colours are on Juana's pupils as well. Juana has a human appareance, brown hair tied in 2 pigtails, she has glasses, a yellow t-shirt, a red shirt under, she has some dark green shoes, combining with a skirt of the same color, white baggy socks. She has red horns, wings and tail dragon-like. The background is black, a TV-static texture coming from Slime's head. There are 2 lines resembling their heart's pulse, first one is white, it's from Slime, its a quick one, going up and down, agitated, and the second is from Flippa, a pink line with no sign of life. The drawing is a reference to a painting called "Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan". ]

Warning: expanding on that copium theory

The reason why I want Crowley to actually turn out to be Malleus' father is not to give him a dad. We have Lilia for that. It's exactly because Lilia is there; I think it's an important lesson to convey that it is not the blood that connects, rather the memories that you make. Lilia wasn't at all the best father figure, but he was there when Malleus had no one. When no one wanted to be there for him.

Levan may have had a good reason for his disappearance. He may be inflicted with something as overused as amnesia, he may be plotting something incredibly evil, or he may have all those years been preparing and sacrificing something for the sake of their family. Whichever way, it was his choice to be absent and nothing can ever change that fact. He wasn't there when Malleus needed love. He wasn't there when Malleus needed guidance. And if he indeed turns up and reveals himself, Malleus is not at all obligated to love him or even forgive him in the slightest.

And I don't think Levan would beg for forgiveness anyway. He made a choice, and I trust he's smart enough to know what he sacrificed for that. I don't think he would ever hope for forgiveness. Maybe he just wants to ensure a beautiful future for his son before he could burn in the pits of hell. Or maybe he just wants to selfishly touch his most beloved one last time before he lets hell take him.

I know Malleus deserves better. He really does-- he's easily the most pitiful character in the game as he hasn't really had genuine happiness and fulfillment besides his fleeting memories with his foster family. But media is also a perfect way to convey a powerful message, and if my favorite character must suffer further for that, then so be it.
