People are acting like it's the shipping that ruined modern fandoms (like shipping and fanfics weren't a thing before ffnet and ao3 even existed) when in reality it couldn't be more obvious it's actually lack of tolerance for opinions you disagree with
#because intolerance can be to any sort of opposite not just one's preference in shipping#I've seen fandoms spit up over whether certain character was in the wrong or right over liking certain character etc.#now ofc bigger fandoms will have tendency to be bigger fire dumpster cuz more people = more options on xyz = more 'subgroups' within fandoms#= more potential conflict#idk it's just that people have gotten way too comfortable being mean to others online over slightest disagreement#it's frightening really#fandom#proship#pro fiction#anti harassment

Amazon: HEEEY!~ Hazbin hotel is getting a second season!
Me: Oh okay, that's cool I guess.
Amazon: They'll be even MORE action this season!! We're gunna focus on Alastor's backstory, and Pentious will be a key character, and Vox is gunna be a more prominent protagonist, and we'll show off more overlords, and Vaggie and Charlie get a "sexy life"~
Me: Uh-huh. And I can only assume that this season has a bigger episode count so that any of those plot points you mentioned have time to breath for more then ten minutes unlike season 1?
Amazon:
Me:.....You're gunna give this season time to breath ri-
Amazon: WE HAVE MERCH AT HOT TOPIC NOW TOO!!~
.
(Incase people don't read the tags: The reason this annoys me so much isn't because I hate the show, it's because I want this show to do well. I want this show to make me feel like I should care for any of it's characters and plot points because it's well made, not because it's been created by an artist who is already popular online. I truly believe the animators and voice actors are giving it their all for this show, the voice acting is honestly the best quality in my opinion and everyone nails their roles, but the writing and pacing has so far been a cluster fire.
This is a legit show now, it's being funded by Amazon's money with literal broadway stars as parts of the cast. If season 1 taught the people creating this show anything it's that there needs to be breathing time for the plot points and the characters, and I sincerely hope that season 2 takes this into account. I doubt it with how much they've said they're going to include, but I really hope that, for animation as a whole - cuz god knows Disney hasn't been pumping out good animated movies as of late - season 2 takes into account what season 1 did poorly and improves on it)
#stfg-#If the voice acting in season 1 wasn't as stunning as it was I would be totally lost on this show#tbh I kind of am the voice acting is the only thing keeping me semi hooked#We can't really say the animation is great still cuz....it's being funded by Amazon's money now soooo what did we execpt?#You'd think after the shitstorm the pacing was in season 1 and the writing that they'd learn the show needed a bigger episode count#But NOOOOOO lets just throw in MORE plot points! And MORE characters because we DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY!#Just throw even more story into this dumpster fire cuz THE FANS WILL GET IT!! THE FANS WILL LOVE ANYTHING CUZ IT'S HAZBIN!!~#For the record: I want to confirm the reason I'm so annoyed is because I WANT this show to good#I want it to be well written and I want it to make me care about the characters#I want this show to make me feel like I should care because so far I don't#The writing is all over the place the pacing so far has been whack and Charlie doesn't evedevelop a deep connection with any of the#characters in the show aside from her pre-established girlfriend#Season 2 had better show some improvement writing and pacing wise because there isn't an excuse now#This is a legit show being funded by Amazon's money the writing needs to be better

What infuriates me the most about the whole hogshit game discourse isn't the fact people are still playing the game, it's the fact so many people are being proud about playing it and they are being proud of being absolute cunts towards trans folk. So many people can't just settle with playing their fecking wizard game in silence, no they Have to let everyone know, they Have to act like a victim when called out, they Have to make tiktoks and tweets mocking trans people who are upset, they Have to be spiteful and get a kick from taking part in something that's pissing off this oppressed group of people who have the right to be upset at a franchise made by some billionaire cunt who's using the money she gains from said franchise to make their lives more difficult, because it's always so much easier to spit in the face of trans folk who are upset than, you know, being a decent human being and sympathizing with them.
#And if you come at me with well im trans and im playing it and dont see an issue#good for you!!!!!!!! it's great that it doesn't affect you but shut the fuck up and sit down#If you have nothing good to contribute to thr argument don't fucking pour gasoline into it and make it an even bigger dumpster fire#Because then you have cis people being like well This trans person said it's ok#And then use that to invalidate everyone else's concerns

A Sparkling?!
Tf1!Elita, D-16, B-127, Orion Pax, Sentinel Prime with Sparkling!Reader
Content: SFW, Just silly situations with the bots with a baby you.
Introduction Movie Oneshot Masterlist
TW/Tags: Wholesomeness, B is a silly bean (He was my favorite part to write ngl), Elita is a mom/Auntie, Y’all know D and OP will be the best dads, Sentinel I doubt will do anything with a sparkling and his is defiently the funniest.
One day while Orion was just running from the cops in the city he passes an alleyway of some of the higher ups apartments.
When he was able to get to a good hiding spot, he took a moment to breath.
Until he hears and sees a dumpster moving around. He came up to it with caution as he slowly opens a dumpster. And when he peaks over it only to be confused.
“What?”
He didn’t expect to see a little sparkling. You.
You had bright yellow optics and blue paint. You were gently nibbling at you cervo as you looked up at him as he picked you up. He’d hold you with his cervos holding you like anyone would with a baby.
”What’s a sparkling doing in a dumpster. And a miner sparkling no less.” He looked in the dumpster for a note or anything. But you giggled and reached for him as he looked back at you. You had the biggest smile as your optics shine brightly as you continue to try to eat your cervo.
His optics soon tearing up. Holy Primus you are adorable!!!
And so he does tthe only most responsible thing a bot can do in his situation. He brought you home and said you were Ds and the mother died in the last accident at the other mining area or something. Nobody really questioned it.
D though was not too happy to pretend to be a sire.
”YOU DID WHAT?!” Orion has you facing him so your back is turned to D. Who didn’t give you much mind at the moment. “Come on D just give them a chance. They have yellow optics and they’re really good.”
”I could care less if some sparkling you found in the dumpster is cuuuuuu….” He couldn’t finish as Orion turned you around.
You reaching both cervos to his helm as your had your usual large grin as you got excited when seeing him. The miners around you in the quarters not paying much mind.
D just stared at you as you continue to giggle as move your arms around in Orions cervos.
He soon takes you from Orion and instantly starts baby talking to you as you kept giggling. At least that’s until Elita came to the three of you. “Orion Pax! D-16! You two better explain to me why you both have a…”
She looked at you as D still had you in his arms. Your cervos gripping his larger ones as you looked up at her. You four are silent for a moment. D and Orion looking at each other unsure as Elita just looks at you with wide optics. As you do a frog blink she was instantly smitten.
”Gimme them!” D was too scared to not let her. She took you into her arms and held you up in front of her. “You shall be my successor! Elita…um Two!!”
You’d just stare at her. Then you make a baby sound that sounds like an E making her optics grow bigger like as if she’s a proud parent. Which she probably is now. So she instantly started scolding the boys after as you tried to reach for D and Orion.
”And-……..Guess you two are dads now-“
If B-127 met you first-
B was working. Watching trash go to the fire slowly. All of a sudden he hears from the dumpster a sparkling go “weeeeeeeee”. You’d landed on top of some trash.
You giggled as you sat up and reached for B. He just watched you.
His frame still as his helm moved watching you. As you got closer to the fire.
“………..”
”………………”
”………………………………….”
”Ba”
“HOLY SPARK YOU’RE REAL!!!!!!” He was fast to pick you up as you giggled and reach for him. Luckily they gave him energon. It just means he’ll eat less then half of what he usually does.
But it was all worth it in order to watch you grow.
If Sentinel found you-
You just sat there as Sentinel looked at you. Being held by a officer. You just stared at him with wide optics.
”……………..”
”………………”
”Eh..Eh Ew.” You said.
I hope you guys enjoyed this I know I did. I’m slowly getting more use to writing shorts. Although I will still get pretty carried away at times.
As always a repost is appreciated and I hope you guys enjoy my other works and see you all in the next one. Hope you all are having a good rest of your day!

kids are about 8/9 here. idk what this is. happy 10 days to Halloween?
cw: violence, blood, gore (not the turtles'), cussing
-----
Later, Donnie would say going to the surface was Leo's idea, but really, it had been an unspoken joint decision. He wanted to search the trash in the alley for building materials, Leo was just annoyed at being treated like a baby. Sure, it made sense why Mikey wasn't allowed to go to the surface without Raph, but why were the two of them subject to the same rules? They were a whole year older!
So when Papa fell asleep in his chair, and with Raph chasing an uncooperative Mikey around, begging him to take a bath, Leo looked at Donnie, then at the exit to the tunnels, and Donnie followed him right out.
At first it was exhilarating. He and Leo had been to the surface several times now, but it was always with Raph or Splinter, and that meant it came with rules. Don't touch that. Stay where I can see you. Don't run off. There's too many humans that way. No you can't take that back to the lair, it's dangerous. On and on and on. But this time they were alone, and Donnie wasn't going to stop Leo from climbing the fire escape and petting the cats sitting on windowsills as long as Leo wouldn't tell him to put the old, broken electronics and jagged pieces of metal he found back in the dumpster.
And Leo didn't say a thing about it, other than to call him a nerd. Of course.
It was a cool night, but not so cold that it made Donnie shiver. It had rained recently, so everything was damp and there was a fog that held in the air. The only noise besides what the two of them made came from an old pair of vending machines right by the entrance to the street, buzzing and humming with electricity. Leo had already asked Donnie if he could "hack it" to get them some drinks and snacks, and Donnie had shooed him off so he could get back to his scavenging. But he was seriously considering giving it a try once his work was done.
Leo dropped off the fire escape and wandered closer to the street. It was deep into the night, but when Donnie looked he could still see Leo in the glow from the vending machine, so he didn't worry too much. He'd just found a perfectly good toaster that someone threw out, and he absolutely planned to take it back with him.
He'd just ducked down to tug at a box sticking out of the mound of trash, when he heard a voice echo off the bricks of the buildings.
"Yooo, dude. Did you see that!?"
"Shhh, shhh, hold on," said another voice, followed by some quick footsteps.
And then Leo yelped.
Donnie's heart was pounding against his plastron as he slowly and carefully peeked above the rim of the dumpster. Two big humans stood in the light of the vending machine; one of them had Leo, holding him by the lip of his shell where it opened for his head.
"The hell is this?"
"Looks like some kind of fucked up turtle."
"I knew the Hudson was radioactive, man."
Leo squirmed in their grasp, but they were way bigger and stronger, and they kept him from escaping. He didn't have his weapons, because Dad only let them have them when they were training ("You'll poke your eye out," he'd said). Fat lot of good that did them now.
"What do you think we could sell it for?" asked one of the humans.
"Who would even want it?"
"Dude, someone's gotta. A zoo or something!"
"Damn, you're right. It's worth a try, right?"
Donnie's blood ran cold. They were going to take Leo away. They were going to take his brother away, and he'd never see him again, never get to talk to him or play with him again, and Donnie
couldn't
let
that
happen.
Before he himself even knew what he was planning, he'd jumped out of the dumpster and shot straight toward the humans. They'd only just noticed him when he launched himself at the one holding Leo and bit, directly into the hairy, exposed flesh.
An agonized scream filled the alley.
The leg Donnie was biting began to shake and kick, frantically trying to dislodge him, but Donnie only bit down tighter, sinking all his teeth into the man, his jaws locking and refusing to let go. There was a thud as something hit the concrete beside him; the man was still screaming.
"GET HIM OFF ME! GET HIM OFF GET HIM OFF- OH SHIT-"
Human hands grabbed at Donnie and yanked, but he didn't let go. A disgusting, metallic taste filled his mouth, and something chewy and unpleasant was coming loose between his teeth.
The men were both yelling now, kicking, hitting, but Donnie didn't let go, he wouldn't, he couldn't-
Until he felt a hand wrap around his. Small, three-fingered, and as familiar as his own.
Donnie yanked back. The chewy thing between his teeth came with him. The man was still shrieking in pain, blood pouring down his leg and staining his socks and sneakers, snot and spittle hanging from his face.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" yelled the man.
Donnie and Leo scrambled backwards, hands locked tight together.
"Dude, we gotta get you to a hospital," said the uninjured man, grabbing the other human's arm and tugging. For a moment, the injured man fought back, waving his fists at Donnie and Leo.
"I'M GONNA KILL THAT THING!" the man screamed. A light came on in a window above.
"Come on, man, it probably has rabies," said the other human, still tugging. "Let's get out of here. Call animal control."
For a second, Donnie thought he would keep coming, even with a limp, but eventually he relented, and went with his companion. They could still here the man yelling as they disappeared from sight.
Donnie and Leo watched, still and silent in the shadows beyond the vending machines, for a very long moment. The only sounds in the alley were the electric hum of the vending machines, but it was louder now, somehow, louder and more annoying and pressing in on Donnie from all sides.
He suddenly became very aware of a sticky substance on his hands and arms and shoulders and face. The unpleasant taste was still in his mouth, as was the squishy thing, and it filled him with revulsion. He spat it out on the ground, and saw skin and hair and red stuff and-
He wanted to gag, but he couldn't. He could feel his muscles shutting down, the way they did sometimes. He hated this feeling, but he knew from experience he couldn't stop it. It was out of his control now.
The whine started at the back of his throat and built in intensity until it drowned out the sounds of the vending machines. His hands moved to clutch his head against his will, and he sank to the ground, curling up over his knees and pressing himself against them in a desperate bid to get it all to stop.
"Shoot, Dee," he heard Leo say, and then he moved away. Donnie couldn't open his eyes to see where he went, but a moment later he heard the sound of glass breaking.
A few seconds later, he heard a soft fizz, and then something cool was being pressed against his arm.
Slowly, he squinted his eyes open. He could barely stand it, but he had to do it, to see Leo in crouching in front of him, holding out a bottle of cola and signing at him to drink.
Clumsily, he took it. The mix of cola and the metallic taste in his mouth almost made him gag again, and he spat that out, too. Somehow, it helped. He repeated this action several more times, until the bottle was almost empty and his mouth was free of that terrible taste.
Then, slowly, a little at a time, he drank the rest.
The world backed down to a manageable level. Leo was still in front of him, looking worried. His eyes and face were wet, and Donnie didn't think it was from the mist.
Still, he met Donnie's eyes with a wobbly smile and asked, "Ready to go down?"
Hesitantly, Donnie stood up. When he didn't fall over, he nodded. Leo nodded back, then went to the manhole cover and opened it up.
Donnie didn't go back for the toaster. He didn't even remember it, really.
Leo gestured for Donnie to go down the ladder first, then covered over the hole behind them. They made their way to the bottom more slowly than they ever did with Raph, neither of them feeling up to any tricks tonight.
They walked back towards the lair in silent for a few minutes, while Donnie got his voice back. Leo waited for him to talk first, and Donnie appreciated that.
"...Where'd you get the soda?" he asked, when he could.
"Broke the glass on the vending machine with a rock," Leo explained. He gave Donnie a playful grin. "It's faster than hacking."
Donnie rolled his eyes at that. He could have done it if he'd had time!
They walked a bit further. Donnie was still covered in the sticky, gross substance, but when Leo reached for his hand again, Donnie took it.
"Thanks," said Leo, quieter now.
"I didn't want them to take you away," said Donnie honestly.
Leo's hand squeezed his. "I didn't want to go away," he said, his voice sounding strained.
Donnie stopped, and so did Leo. They turned to look at each other, as best as they could in the dark sewer tunnels.
Then Donnie launched himself at Leo, wrapping him in the tightest hug he could, and Leo hugged him back, burying his face in the soft place against Donnie's neck and shell. Donnie could feel something wet land on him, but he didn't mind because it wasn't sticky like the other stuff.
He just held Leo tight, and Leo held back, for a long while.
(They were still like that when Splinter and Raph found them. The blood freaked them out, and learning it wasn't Donnie's hadn't reassured them.
They were grounded for three weeks, but they still got to be together and read comics, so really, it wasn't too bad.)

What have you said about loumand's intimacy? 👀
man...what HAVEN'T I said?
They have an active sex life through out their entire relationship, and both are getting off
Sex and Sexuality isn't the same corner stone of their relationship the way it was between Loustat. Which is part of why it is not played out on screen in the same manner.
The other reasons for them not getting naked on screen is that they aren't trying to convince Daniel they're fucking. The charade is that Loumand isn't some different dumpster fire of a relationship. Which is why playful exchanges, holding hands, stories of romantic date nights are given more focus.
Most importantly, I think, Is that Armand's relationship to sex is intrinsically tied to his traumas. And knowing that the writers want to do better by his character, It makes sense that no ones going "lets blow his back out and then 15 minutes later give the scene where he talks about how he was sold into sex slavery as a child"
CONTINUED HOT TAKE: There's no reasonable place for a sex scene between them anyway. the ending of ep 3 is about Claudia joining the coven as it is about Louis choosing Armand. And while they are both bedding down that night with something they want and fear. Loumand don't get jiggy for the same reason we don't see Claudia rehearsing with the Theatre. and by the end of ep 5 we have literally bigger fish to fry.
I think the way people tend to talk about Armand in general is racist. But like, some ppl live and die on the hill that Armand is this sort of incel cuck and act crazy someone whips out the papers on asian male sexuality. like. okay.
on a unserious note- LORD let me find some more Loumand fics that are not secretly about one of those white men, I am not here for them. and free yourselves from dom/sub = top/bottom, find the joy and whimsey in bossing him around when hes got you bent over the counter. amen.
#char.txt#interview with the vampire#loumand#answered#for a second i thought abt this simultaniously being a kind of masterpost.#but then i remembered how most of those inital posts got me bombarded so ykw we are gonna let sleeping dogs lie.#im sure im missing somethings but you get the point

I need people who would die on the hill of "Fire and Blood is completely unreliable, therefore we cannot trust anything that's written in it" to open their eyes and read a book that is similar to the structure that Fire and Blood uses to realize how wrong of a statement that is. I know that this will probably be received as a very hot take but I do not believe that everything needs to be analyzed or has to have a deeper meaning behind it. The curtain can be blue and there doesn't have to be a reason for the curtain to be blue other than the fact that it's just blue (hope someone gets the reference). Ryan Condall obviously disagrees with that, because in his quest to recreate his own 'magnum opus' of a 'Shakespearian tragedy', as he always likes to refer to it as, he has instead created the equivalent of a dumpster on fire next to the other bigger dumpster on fire that was Game of thrones.
Bland, whitewashed characters with little to no turmoil or agency going on are revered as complex and nuantical on Twitter. And if you even dare to disagree, you're immediately sentenced to the stake. Characters like Alicent and Rhaenyra could literally not even be in the episode and nothing would change. Rhaenyra was in episode 4 for not even 5 minutes and with everything going on in it you wouldn't even have noticed that. She should have been there, leading the council as Cole marched on rook's rest, her only available connection to the mainland in the crownlands, apart from Claw Isle, after duskendale fell to the greens and instead her only scene in such climactic episode is her walk of shame returning home and her, rightfully, getting scolded by her son for thinking that she could still sue for peace with Alicent, the mother of her son's murderer. The show makes the decision to have Rhaenys volunteer instead of having Rhaenyra send her there so that later when Rhaenys dies Rhaenyra cannot be blamed for it. The fundamental changes of characters like Alicent don't work because the writers are not able to sustain such changes from the source material they are deriving the story from. Going from leading the council that would place Aegon on the throne, to never even being in on the plan to usurp Rhaenyra, that her father created, is such a letdown for such a political savy character like book Alicent.
Aging her down, to Rhaenyra's age, and making these two childhood best friends, was a mistake.
What is very evident is that the showrunners have no clue, so far, what to do with a character like show Alicent. If she's not going to lead the council when Aegon is bedridden and Aemond is off to fight in the Riverlands, why doesn't she just leave?
Going from an active participant in a usurpation from somebody who needs to miss-hear or misunderstand her dying husband for her to get in on the plan, only so there is an excuse to get her on the war council is bad writing.
Making people believe that Rhaenyra was usurped because of a misunderstanding, and not only because she was a woman, is bad writing. And going to the extremes, of having these two 'betray' each other in order to have a reason to make Rhaenyra look bad in the eyes of her rivals is bad writing. Rhaenyra could have been the perfect heir, and even only because she was a woman, Otto and Alicent would have usurped her either way.
Going back to the point of this post; Timelines, ages, events, who got married to who, how many kids they had, things that you can quantify are not something that can be made up, used as rumors or form of propaganda in a history book. What you make up as a rumor is sexual escapades and a young girl seducing her sworn shield who has watched over her since she was seven. Things that can make a person look bad to glorify or uphold the good of someone else alongside all the other stuff that happens behind closed doors and makes you question where the information is coming from.
I find it so odd that the aggressive marketing team for the second season was all about choosing your side. Lol, what is there to even choose? Choose between the overly sanctified Rhaenyra, who god forbid is still searching for the peace that has already been thrown over the cliff long ago, and is not allowed yet to make a mistake. Or, Alicent, the pathetic hypocrite who made her bed and is not willing to admit it. Anything interesting about these two women is completely being cut so that Ryan Condall and Co. can continue to spread the "men are bad and violent, women are the gentle peacemakers that don't want war." which is leaning a little too heavy for my taste into gender essentialism which would make every choice they have ever made about these two characters more misogynistic than any of the action of the actual misogynistic characters in this story. Taking away the very little agency these characters had and constantly making them the perpetual victims of the patriarchy and completely sidelining any sort of character traits that they may actually develop through their actions had they actually been taking any, doesn't work for me.
This show was a mistake.

Who is Vegetta?
Had to wait until my hands stopped shaking for this one, I love Vegetta so much. He was recently — miraculously — announced for the QSMP, so here's a rundown for English fans of both who he is and his lore.
Vegetta777 is a Spanish Youtuber who is one of, if not THE biggest pillar of the Spanish community. He's been doing content for over 15 years now.
He's the creator of the Karmaland series, which he started when he was around Quackity's age.
I cannot emphasize enough: Vegetta doesn't do series or events or tournaments EVER, so him accepting the invitation is a huge deal. This was his exact commentary on it:
Vegetta: Quackity me invitó hace tiempo y le dije que no suelo entrar a series que yo puedo controlar, pero le he dado ese voto de confianza, además le pregunté como sería la serie porque no quería nada competitivo y quackity me dijo que no me preocupara por nada. [...] Si yo confíe en quackity y él confío en mi para Karmaland pues yo le doy ese voto de confianza para esta serie que está haciendo y además se le veía emocionado al chaval, si te soy sincero, Quackity el hijo de Rubius de cierto modo Translation: Quackity invited me a while ago and I told him that I don't usually enter series that I can't control, but I have given him that vote of confidence, I also asked him how the series would be because I didn't want anything competitive, and Quackity told me not to worry about anything (does this confirm QSMP is an RP server? 🤔) [...] If I trust Quackity and he trusts me for Karmaland, well, I give him that vote of confidence for this series he's doing. And also the boy looked excited, if I'm honest, Quackity's the son of Rubius in a certain way. (🥺💕)
Vegetta is very fond of Quackity after interacting with him in Karmaland 5, and he's spoken multiple times about how much Quackity's impressed him. He also said Quackity will be bigger than him someday :') He's very supportive of the new generation, and he spoke highly of Spreen today too.
Vegetta is one of the most talented Minecraft builders out there, and he's fast
While most of the other Karmaland boys were still living in basic houses, Vegetta built a CASTLE within a super short time
Vegetta loves cats. In Karmaland he had an entire cat rescue with 50+ cats (and yes, he’s named every single one of them). IRL, he shares lots of adorable cat photos and videos.
His skin, like his name, is based on the Dragon Ball character Vegeta. Vegetta777 is basically the yassified version of Vegeta (just like Phil is the yassified version of Uruhara).
In Karmaland 5, Vegetta was a bit of a wizard, and he had a flock of crows / ravens (remind you of anyone?)
Vegetta is sometimes called "the father of Minecraft", so many people (myself included) are ESPECIALLY excited to see him and Phil interact because they have a lot of similarities.
Vegetta is one of the heroes of Karmaland and the unofficial leader of their group. In terms of lore, he's essentially a demigod / minor god, though it's not as direct as Sapo Peta's contact with them.
Vegetta is typically a staunch rule-follower, however, since he's not in control of the series, he said: "I feel like Rubius: 'Let's see what I can do to destroy everything, let's look for all the legal loopholes,' get ready Quackity, I'm the new Rubius!" (LMAO)
Vegetta’s the king of “stay in your own lane” he never gets into drama or gets involved in controversies, he just watches the dumpster fires from the sidelines like the rest of us
He almost never wears a shirt in the series (and honestly? Good for him)
His character is also, canonically, absolutely shredded
It's impossible to talk about Vegetta's lore without also talking about Rubius, so buckle in because this one's a doozy. I can't cover everything without this post becoming longer than it already is, but I'll do my best to summarize what I can:
Starting with Karmaland 4 and continuing into Karmaland 5 and beyond, Rubius and Vegetta have created the world's most torturous slow-burn telenovela-esque love story.
Rubegetta (Rubius x Vegetta) is the most popular Karmaland ship that, to some extent, has become an inside joke between the boys and the community. I'll elaborate on this more in Rubius' post.
To simplify years and years of lore and drama, Rubius and Vegetta love each other, but they are incapable of being in an actual relationship. I've talked about it in depth before, but Vegetta said it best in this metaphor-filled exchange with Sapo Peta and Willy: Sapo Peta: I wanted to ask you about your relationship with that Rubius guy. Vegetta: Oh, yes well Rubius likes to be with me a lot, but at the same time he likes to snack everywhere, and he never finishes eating the morcilla (blood sausage). Sapo Peta: So he rejects you? Vegetta: It's not that he rejects me, it's that it doesn't finish clearing up, you know? We could say that our relationship is like a hamburger. WiIIy: You prepare it and he doesn't eat it. Vegetta: Exactly, he doesn't finish you know?
Or, as another person phrased it:
The fault doesn't just lie with Rubius however; Vegetta himself can be pretty oblivious.
In Karmaland 4, despite the fact Rubius and Vegetta had a kid together and got married, it still didn't resolve anything. As soon as the vows were said and they were married, Rubius revealed it was all just a ploy to get Vegetta's diamonds and immediately asked for a divorce.
You can watch a translated animation of the entire wedding here.
In Karmaland 5, after deciding he'd had enough of Rubius' BS, Vegetta decided to marry someone else (Lolito), but Rubius burst in at the last moment to stop the wedding. We all thought he'd finally confess his love and stop being so emotionally constipated, but instead he proposed to Lolito solely so Vegetta would remain single. (They're a mess, what can I say)
To quote a meme shared by another Spanish fan, Vegetta's reaction to that was basically: “You don’t want me to be with you, and you don’t want me to be with someone else. How miserable do I have to be for you to be happy?”
I do want to emphasize that even though Rubius and Vegetta sometimes have relationship issues / communication issues, it doesn’t diminish their friendship in the slightest. Even after both wedding disasters, they were back to speaking to each other the next week, being flirty and laughing together. Yes, they have issues, but their love for each other remains – despite everything.
(I should also note here that, even while engaged to Lolito, Vegetta was still flirty with Rubius).
Vegetta is very close friends with Luzu, who supported him during the fallout from both failed marriages.
In Karmaland 4, Rubius and Vegetta had a son named Brayan Dobluque (a mix of both their names).
There's too much Rubegetta lore for me to cover everything, but Glay has a massive thread of translated Rubegetta clips I highly recommend watching if you'd like more context.
One clip I recommend is the Meteor date, which is one of the few instances where Rubius is honest vis-à-vis his emotions with Vegetta.
As a whole, their friendship / relationship is a romcom novela for sure, but sometimes they'll catch you off-guard with some romantic BS that'll make your heart ache. They really do love each other; they just don't know how to commit.
Vegetta is bi! (Both real life Vegetta and character Vegetta). Pretty much every single character in Karmaland is on the ‘ol rainbow spectrum somewhere.
Lore aside, I feel like Vegetta, and pretty much all the Karmaland boys in general, have the least machismo (toxic masculinity) I've ever seen. They're all genuinely sweet guys who aren't afraid to be flirty and play gay characters in their queer little telenovela Minecraft series. (With the exception of Willy, who we like to joke is the "token straight friend"). Vegetta's a cool guy, and he's a great addition to the QSMP. I'm excited for you all to meet him!

that, and tags.
Disney is not a place where Dreams come true, anymore. It's a place where nightmares come true. This about the Loki Series, and how they completely ruined his character. I will never ever watch another disney thing again, because I can never forgive them, yes I know it's just mcu, but now even when I watch something Disney realted it just makes me think about how much they wronged Loki and Loki fans like me.
#yup#i initially got a D+ sub just to watch the first season#I unsubbed not long after#i refuse to hand them my money for that knock off#the reasons not to have just kept piling up since#there have been some 'okay' productions since#but they're very far and few between#and yes Bob: the Accountant/the not-Enchantress Show remains a foul taste in the back of my mouth just thinking about that dumpster fire#add in the treatment of those like me who did hand them any portion of their paychecks and voice our concerns as the series worsened from -#episode to episode; the consistent portrayal of a renamed Nazi party with bigger kill counts as the good guys and the friends of the series#added on with the continuation of all that hypocritical ick; blanket judgments and more being piled on and tripled down on since..?#I have no interest in supporting that kind of vile portrayal or behavior

I will never forgive everyone who had a hand on the absolute dumpster fire of a so-called “20th Anniversary” for Barbie Nutcracker
I have never seen a bigger downgrade in my life
