what if gaster in a future chapter calls out the audience for speculating so much about him. the guy canonically has some amount of access to Real Life Social Media. like i started this mostly as a joke but there are definitely some real metanarrative opportunities for a character with recklessly curious impulses, and possibly a fragile sense of self, having nearly limitless access to streams of debate over whether or not he’s a bastard. rude to talk about someone who’s listening etc

As a fellow Dovewing lover, it's frustrating how the fandom watered her down into a whiny brat who never cared about Ivypool. I mean, seriously? Not only did Dovewing care about her sister (reacting in horror when Lionblaze, her own mentor and Jayfeather are willing to potentially sacrifice Ivypool's safety by employing her as her spy instead of trying to get her out of the Dark Forest's clutches, hiding a thorn in her nest to cover for her scarring from her training).

Heck, even the scene where she tries to feed Ivypool her catch during a hunting patrol was demonized because 'she was trying to make Ivypool break the code like SHE does, as if it doesn't matter' and because she got upset when Ivypool started arguing with her! But you guys said she didn't care, right? Plus, people act like being forced into a prophecy is something you should be grateful for, as if it didn't irreparably change her close relationship with her sister? As if Lionblaze and Jayfeather didn't still keep her out of the loop (and for all the fussing they made about keeping it a secret, Lionblaze confesses his power to Cinderheart and Jayfeather doesn't even care).

Meanwhile Nightheart is angry he isn't orange and hates his mom for being exiled and the whole world has to stop for him. 🤪 And Bramblestar is simply so tortured by having an evil father, the only choice is to train with him and his evil half-brother and hide this from his wife! (But remember, it's bad when that witch Squirrelflight hides the parentage of the three from him, even when Blackstar and Leopardstar were still around after being complicit in the torture and killing of halfclan cats.) Why are these male characters sympathized with, even when they actively harm people (Nightheart forcing himself into Sunbeam's life by lying to everyone about being her mate without even asking her if she would be fine with that beforehand), Bramblestar (we all know what he does), but when Dovewing or any other female character is upset, people freak out and call them whiny brats or abusive for (checks notes) asking her partner if he loves her anymore after they argued multiple times in a book. Really makes you think! (Sorry this is so long, you just have based opinions!)

dovewing being characterized as this flighty airheaded vain popular girl stereotype in fanon is like. one of those biggest "we didnt actually read the books" things in the fandom. like theres so much fanart where shes grinning and giggling over the prophecy and shes besties with the trio and shes got preferential treatment, and then in the actual books shes basically the autistic kid no one actually likes. people really, REALLY overexaggerate that one scene where she snaps at ivypaw and brags. (and i dont wanna shit on amvs but i am forever side eying how the animation community handled dove back in the day. more than one person animated her getting murdered. normal.)

i do think its gotten better recently at least. but wow does it feel like at least one person on the writing team has a bone to pick

(also awww thank you <3 no need to be sorry i love getting stuff in my inbox)

Am I getting old or the constant need from certain groups to make every morally questionable/utter piece of shit character some uwu soft boi with issues is getting really fucking annoying

[karokawwo]

i did not eat well today 😞

[yanlei-a]

my toxic trait is i read everything y'all write and i eat it up and i love your ships like even though i probably wouldn't care about them if not for y'all writing i'd read your yelling about them gladly and i'd read 10 page essays about them but then whenever i have brainrot about my own ships i just think i'll be annoying yelling about them 💁‍♂️

[suckinitup]

gets up on my little stage with my secret little four followers blog and turns off reblogs. i think that a lot of current mcyt/mcyt fandom rn would be defending anne rice literally suing fanfic writers who shipped her characters. creators do not have a say in fan works or fan spaces for a REASON. they dont get to say what we make just like we dont get to say what they make. if we dont like their work we can avoid it just like if they dont like ours they can avoid it- UNLESS. someone else. decides to shove it in their face. can you fucking imagine. youve got this one story trope that you absolutely hate or that makes you really uncomfortable and this one jackass keeps showing it off to you. and that is somehow the norm for some of these fandoms??? i have seen elder fans cringe away in HORROR at the concept of how involved mcyt creators are in their fanbases. i grew up writing fics plastered with "I DONT OWN THIS" disclaimers on a website that, straight up, Did Not Allow You to post about certain works by certain authors. if an author didn't want you to create any fanwork, you Were Not Allowed. Doesn't that sound familiar. stories are built on top of other stories on top of other stories on top of other stories. it doesn't matter if someone creates something that grosses you out- all those authors who were disgusted by the queer shipping of their characters were ABSOLUTELY grossed out. the point isn't protecting the creators from others' creations the point is to take inspiration from something you love and to MAKE !!

I always get a little nervous and uncomfortable when I see people with dni's in my notes, especially the ones that include or are even centered around how people engage with fiction. It's just so fucking scary how expressing any kind of discomfort or disagreement with these practices of performative outrage over complex and personal topics immediately gets people vitriolically assuming the absolute worst things possible in the world about you. Like how did so many people's thinking because so black-and-white and gain this kill switch for cyber-bullying??? It's fucking scary!!!!!!!

It also drives me crazy how so many different things are shoved under the same umbrella, and just talking about one aspect of it will get people trying to correct you that it's "really about x" and casually bring up the most upsetting topics in the world like that's a conversation you can just broach with a stranger you know nothing about. It's not! It's really really not! Do not do that!! For the love of god!!

It's just like, the clearest possible example I can think of of the phenomenon of people becoming so entrenched in an aspect of online culture that they become no longer are aware of how incredibly bizarre and extreme and unkind their behavior is. It's all just so, so, so deeply, unbearably presumptuous.

It's presumptuous to assume you can talk about sensitive topics with strangers, it's presumptuous to assume you know what's going on in someone else's head, that if they interpret a story in a way you hate and don't understand, that MUST mean they saw it in the exact same way you did but had an Evil reaction because they're Evil. That it's not possible to have something resonate with you due to personal experiences and decide to imagine the story differently to acomodate that. That even having that idea OCCUR to you is a surefire sign of Evil, rather than simply a neutral example of the breadth of human experience and imagination.

That being interested in exploring scary and fucked up human behavior safely through fiction is an inherently Suspicious thing to do. That no one moral or kind would ever ever be interested in doing something like that. Like. Classic novels about terrible topics and characters exist and are popular for a reason. No single person can judge what does or doesn't have literary or emotional value to someone else. It's just so presumptuous and close-minded and unkind and I'm so sick of seeing it like it's expected song and dance you must perform to prove you're not One Of Those "Freaks".

(Terrible word to use as a genuine angry insult against Weird people. Like we all know where that word came from right. We are all aware and sensitive to that history. Ok just checking.)

periodically people have to be reminded that you should be against these large generative ai models because its aggregate content theft and not because of like "laziness" or whatever

People here have really got to remember that sometimes life is messy like the amount of people furious about Keeley having sex with her boss is staggering. One, it's fake, the reason this would be upsetting in real life is because real people would be at risk but this is all fake. Two, not all gay representation has to be pristine and clean and healthy. Sometimes people make mistakes in the heat of the moment when they're feeling low and that's okay. That being said, I don't think this was a moment where Keeley was trying to do something self-destructive and toxic, I think Keeley just found Jack attractive and wanted to have sex with her the way we all predicted she would last episode. I've seen so many people getting so pissed off at scenarios that they've completely made up, it's bonkers. Like people were so angry at the idea of Colin and Trent hooking up when all that was was a rumor. I know that's not the same thing but it's a similar reaction of visceral anger at something that really doesn't matter all that much. Keeley, as a bisexual woman, is a allowed to have fun, messy sex with another woman. Is it great that she's her boss? No, but that doesn't mean she's not allowed to do something unadvised. She's a grown woman having sex with another grown woman and most importantly, they're not real so grow up and deal with it. I've seen people saying that it's good she's expressing her bisexuality but she's doing it in the wrong way- like she's doing bisexuality wrong lol? You can get passionate about the show but take a step back and realize how great it is to see casual bisexual representation in a well developed main character. Her character isn't being defined by her relationships, it's one hook-up, if you think she's being reduced as a character, maybe you're just not paying attention to her character unless she's in a relationship.
