#The show: Observe

[exilley]

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

Amity is a Dimensional Dump

So! Amity Park is a hub of weirdness of all sorts, mostly undead, but there are also a bunch of Multiversal oddities connected to the small town.

There are the minor anomalies. 5th Street has a bad habit of slipping into the Backrooms, Old Lady Jenkin's House sometimes has snow in summer, and of course the Night Sky had a 20% chance of swapping views to another Galaxy. Danny likes that one a lot.

But the biggest Anomaly is how many Multiversal Travellers get lost there.

They are always finding somebody wandering the streets with no idea where they are, and have to help them find their reality of origin. Other times they decide to stay for various reasons, ranging from a bad home life to being the only survivors of a Dead Universe. Half of the population if Amity was made up of the descendants of Lost Travelers, so their DNA was really a mixed bag.

Danny was flying over town when he spotted a Blur on the ground below.

He flew down to intercept, and found a boy in red and yellow panicking over his situation.

"Hey! Can I help you?" He called out.

The boy looked up, and gasped "Are you a Hero? I need help getting back to the Justice League!"

Danny chuckled, "Which one?"

The boy looked confused, "The Adult One? I guess?"

"Not what I meant, sorry. I mean, which Dimension are you from?" He clarified.

"Dimensions? What is going on!?" He shouted.

"Okay, let's calm down and restart. My name is Danny, who are you?" He introduced himself.

The boy took a deep breath, calming himself, before saying, "Okay, my name is Kid Flash, but you can just call me Wally."

How to Get Away With Hypocrisy 101

Greetings everyone. Welcome to my class, "How to Get Away With Hypocrisy 101". In this class, we will be discussing how you can (somewhat) successfully get away with bad actions, such as bullying and harassment, and defend them using Hypocrisy! Thank you @aphrodicci & her friends/defenders for allowing me to use you as the perfect example for this case.

1. BE PROBLEMATIC

Now of course, there's no way for you to be hypocritical if you're not problematic silly! This can involve anything: racism, bullying, stealing, transphobia, homophobia, etc. In this case, @aphrodicci and some of her friends have been called out and exposed for harassing, bullying, manipulating, and lying on others for the past two years. This has resulted in people's reputations being ruined unfairly and being bullied off the platform, and out of a community that was supposed to be welcoming. Aphrodicci has also been exposed for making racist comments. You can see the screenshots and links below for proof.

2. USE YOUR FRIENDS AS A SHIELD

This is one of the most important parts. If you wanna succeed in using Hypocrisy to get away with your misdeeds, it's important to have friends that you trust defending you, well.....loyal and smart friends. Unfortunately in @aphrodicci's situation, that was not the case, although it did work for a good while.

Every time someone went against her and called her out, she had people like @baeladimi defending her every time. But.....let's hope you don't have a friend like baeladimi for your sake. Remember how I stated that Aphrodicci got called out for racism? Well, she defended her by using unprovoked racist comments of her own! Clearly, that's not gonna make her case any better.....

What also makes Aphrodicci's case worse is that only her friends are defending her, and they're doing so by harassing people through anonymous inbox messages, creating posts with lies and unnecessary information, or making alt accounts (that are allegedly run by her friends) to harass people! Ladies and gentlemen, don't be like these people. (The "patientenclavesummoner" account was made just minutes after @daarlingdatura and I were arguing with and calling out Aphrodicci and @baeladimi . It has an offensive picture of Datura as its pfp. Coincidence? I think not.)

UPDATE: There actually might be a possibility that @baeladimi is actually......Aphrodicci? This is alleged, but this is an explanation from someone I know explaining the reasoning. Ladies and gentlemen, PLEASE don't make alt accounts to make it look like other people are defending you. This will make it harder to sell the hypocrisy and get people on your side, especially if you get exposed somehow!

3. ADVOCATE FOR AN IMPORTANT CAUSE FOR ADDED PROTECTION (OPTIONAL)

Now this part of optional! It's optional because all the other steps should already be going successful for you! But if you find yourself in a difficult position, or just need or want extra protection, advocate for an important situation or cause. Great examples include showing your support to certain charities, supporting LGBTQ communities, or speaking up for Women's Rights! In this case, Aphrodicci decided to use the war between Israel and Palestine, showing support to Palestinians, to gain sympathy points.

Now, I will say that you need to be careful when using this method, especially if you have a tricky situation on your hands like Aphrodicci. It'll be harder to convince people you actually care about and support the cause you're discussing. It could make matters worse and come off as performative activism.

4. USE HYPOCRISY AND LIES TO MANIPULATE OTHERS

Now, the final step that we have all been waiting for, IT'S HYPOCRISY TIME! Now is the time to gaslight the fuck out of people who don't believe you and try to call out your behavior. Guilt trip them, continue preaching high values and the causes you support (if any), defend yourself by acting offended, and flip the script. Using selective morality keeps others off-balance and in check.

Depending on how serious your situation is, this should work perfectly for you. Your friends and supporters should be defending you well, you should be defending yourself well, and being the most "iconic" manipulator you can be. But unfortunately in Aphrodicci's case, we see that this has begun backfiring immensely.

5. IGNORE

If this situation is out of control, people are coming at you from all sides, your manipulation tactics and lies failed, you're losing supporters, or you're being exposed, the best thing I can suggest you to do is ignore them and hope the drama will fade away. Of course, this will only make your situation ten times worse for not addressing it or apologizing. If you have to resort to this final step, well I'm sorry to say it.....but you have failed my class.

In all seriousness, the things that aphrodicci and her friends/defenders (bitdemonic, sydneymykah, spiritstalking, whoever tf else) have done within this community have been toxic, evil, fake, and insane as fuck. I did not make this for clout. I made this because this type of behavior in this type of community is something we shouldn't stand for. Racism, hatred, toxicity, doxxing, and harassing people through alt accounts and inboxes is never okay. That's some scary ass and evil ass shit.

We all have the potential to grow together and share our knowledge. There's room for ALL OF US. Myself, Lexa, Datura, and others did not deserve to be harassed or lied on. This is not the place for egotistical maniacs and spiritually sadistic people. You (aphrodicci) is crashing out and blocked me because the truth is being revealed and more people are calling you out. I have ignited a fire under yo ass.

for real I love when people delve deeper into Mensah grappling with “oh god that SecUnit I killed was a person. Like a real person just like someone I know and love, not like an abstracted idea that I theoretically knew was a person.” Yes it was in the active process of trying to kill Murderbot but it wasn’t its fault and man Mensah is the only one of Murderbot’s humans who has directly killed another person and I want her to face the post-getting-to-know-Murderbot FEELINGS about that.

Sometimes when I think of your Sonic and Carl fic I like to imagine that Tails and Knuckles will eventually find their way to Carl and he'll have to keep his grandsons 'Nicky', 'Miles', and 'Knox' out of trouble. Tom of course freaks out cause where is Carl getting these kids from, shenanigans ensue

Skipping the how-did-this-happen and going right to the shenanigans is proving to be absolutely DELIGHTFUL thank you for this ask

Prompt:

It’s not that Jason forgot, per se.

But between smuggling a toddler out of the League of Assassins, trekking halfway across the world, and finding a suitable hiding place that’s also child friendly… well, it kind of slipped his mind that he’s supposed to be… dead.

Something that comes back to bite him in the ass when he takes Dami out for some ice cream and just so happens to run into non other than Brucie-fucking-Wayne

Something dancing dangerously close to a smile.

Bluebells for resilience, perseverance and humility. Cow parsley for safety and sanctuary. A single orange rose (guess the variety) for admiration and captivation.

Lineless art is fun, but not sure it's really my style XD

This is Bluebell, the world-weary sun from "A Place Where It NEVER HAPPENED!!! in VRChat" as featured in my TSAMS AU Celestial Phenomena on AO3. Mind the ratings.
