#anyway this has been fandom PSAs with will.

[quietwingsinthesky]

I know you reblogged the post about people being like "fictional cannibalism is deep and intellectual and fictional incest is disgusting and morally wrong" some time ago, but I just wanted to add that it’s absolutely insane how people are calling every piece of media that isn’t wholesome and unproblematic nowadays a direct reflection of the creator’s secret deviant fantasies à la "check their hard drive". Like where does the line between getting called a genius and a master satirist and being labeled a disgusting pervert lie? Whenever I see someone make absolutely nonsensical comments like those all I can think of is Vladimir Nabokov getting canceled and chased off the internet in 2023 after writing Lolita lmao. Seriously tho. Especially in the spn fandom, how can people make posts about loving the fucked up family dynamics and the body horror and the psychological terror and the abuse parallels etc and then fall over themselves to put wincesties DNI DNI DNIII all over their entire blogs lol

My take on it is basically that the line people draw between what’s “morally” acceptable to write about or not is really just what they enjoy. That’s why this stuff usually comes down to shipping nonsense, it’s just fandom flame wars in a different trenchcoat. It’s also why you’ll get dissonant opinions like ‘incest is bad and we can’t write about it’ and ‘gore and murder is just fine to write about.’ If someone enjoys writing about their thing, however dark, and can understand why they enjoy writing about it, of course they’ll give it a pass, but other people’s dark things? that they don’t like, don’t understand? Must be evil. Must be disgusting.

(Plus, obviously, there’s probably something to be said about how in ‘incest vs cannibalism’, one of these is going to be assumed to only be about Sex and Perversion, while the other is obfuscated around sex, sometimes a display of desire but easy to deny that at the same time. Which is not to say that writing about incest is even always about sex, only that it will be perceived as such, no matter what you’re actually trying to discuss in your work.)

All that to say that of course it’s ridiculous to assume that someone’s writing or hell, even their internet persona, is reflective of their desires. I’m ace as fuck and get nervous if I don’t have explicit permission to hug someone, and I also have and will write noncon fic. There’s no secret there, nothing hidden that’s gonna lead to me hurting someone. I just enjoy writing impossibly huge power imbalances. I like squeezing characters like stress balls.

The “Wincesties DNI” thing still bothers me to this day. Maybe because I’m not sure where I even fall on that line. I follow wincest blogs, like their posts, I’ve written I think 2 or 3 wincest fics? But I rarely participate in it or reblog stuff here. Am I a wincestie? Am I tainted by association in such a way that I might as well be? Does “Wincesties DNI” mean actually all incest shippers dni, or are you secretly telling me you’re cool with Jo/Ellen, or did you just forget in the midst of your ship war that other interests exist. I don’t usually follow blogs that announce that, but that’s more because putting that label there just tells me even if I passed the test on that specific thing for you, you’re not gonna be cool about all the other weird shit I post lmao.

(I want to stress, I think there’s a difference between “Wincesties dni” and “wincest dni”. I think that asking people to not leave tags on your posts or comments on your work referencing an incest ship is a valid boundary to have. If that content is triggering to you or just not your vibe, I think you should be able to say, ‘hey, not here.’ That is very different than going ‘if you are a part of this group or ever interacted with this group, get away from me.’ Especially in a fandom where. I mean. Sam & Dean being weird is in the text. It’s a huge part of the show to the point of being referenced repeatedly in-universe, it’s a famously huge part of the fandom to where wincest built the very ground (AO3) we all walk on, and I just think that if you walk into a gay bar, you really shouldn’t complain so loudly about all the bears you see.)

[gilmores-glorious-blog]

making a post that’s going to get me fucking crucified by this fandom but i don’t really care… bothering the critical role cast or anyone who works for them about OGL and the current D&D drama is unproductive and not helpful. critical role isn’t responsible for this. wizards of the coast is. just because cr has worked with D&D Beyond for years doesn’t mean they support what’s happening now… most people supported WotC up until very recently. and because they’re an actual company and not just some random people playing dnd, they probably aren’t legally allowed to comment on the situation without facing serious repercussions. they are literally in no way responsible for this and why waste your time harassing people who have been nothing but wonderful and accessible to the world of dnd and rpgs as a whole when the actual WotC company is right there, fully to blame? not to mention the general expectation that everyone should be boycotting dnd right now (which apparently extends to boycotting dnd shows) is fucking ridiculous and needs to stop. you can acknowledge that what’s happening is problematic while still enjoying dnd as a whole. don’t act like everyone needs to abandon something that’s been popular for nearly five decades just because some capitalist higher-ups are being assholes. you aren’t better than everyone else, you’re just a dick.

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

i have a lot of complicated feelings about Fucked Upness as portrayed in fiction, and about my reactions to it both conscious and visceral, and i think a lot of it comes down to how so often my relationship to a piece of media is informed by pointing past the text at the author and going 'i see you back there you punk ass bitch'

Best character ever, you can’t change my mind 💙

So much of my free time is dedicated to imagining what his life would be like a few years down the line. At this point you could say he’s half-blorbo and half-OC to me!

[drawnaghht]

i ran a poll on twt last month-ish and Leochi is indeed the most popular tag of the Leo x Yuichi tags, so - imo easy to switch to bc ppl will be looking for that anyway x3

Leosagi vs. Leoichi

hello! I want to inform people about something. I've seen many Leonardo x Yuichi Usagi tagged as Leosagi. Please do not tag Leonardo x Yuichi Usagi as Leosagi. The correct ship name for those two is Leoichi! Leosagi is the ship name for Leonardo x Usagi Miyamoto! Also, please do not tag both unless both is in it. I've seen Leosagi fans get annoyed having to scroll through Leoichi stuff to find what they want!

I hope this helps anybody who's confused! Have fun shipping!

Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi Are Not Normal About Each Other (A Thesis Statement)

Fandom: Quinlan and Obi-Wan have had sex, but it’s a reach to think they could be in love and/or care deeply about each other in some manner, it was just physical (this is not me saying I don't think they have sex I HELLA do and I've written a lot of smut to prove it, but I've seen wayyyy too many posts that basically say they can only be romantic as Padawans and NEVER as adults and/or were just fooling around as teens and didn't have deep feelings in some way whether they're FWB or romantic partners or whatever you like)

Me: *unrolls my scroll* I'm here to make a POINT as an addendum to this post I made recently.

Look at these little darlings! They just met and Quin's already trusting Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan WANTS Quin to trust him. In another panel from this same comic, Quin helps Obi-Wan with his anxiety and it's very sweet.

Quin's been struggling with the dark side while undercover, and everyone thinks he's really truly fallen and can't be brought back except for Aayla, Tholme, and, YOU GUESSED IT! Obi-Wan. He goes looking for Quinlan on his own and finds him and they chat. Plus, look at this flashback of these little nerds flirting. Quin literally falls into the river and almost dies trying to flirt with Obi-Wan.

What do I even say about this panel??? Look at them!! Look at Quin trusting Obi-Wan with the dark parts of himself and Obi-Wan believing in him? Look at that hand clasp? Like shut up I can't take it.

Obi-Wan refusing to leave Quinlan behind and Quinlan, stubborn Quinlan, listening to him.

Their banter here shows how well they know and play off each other and that joke in the last panel SENDS ME.

This is from the new comic that came out in September, and this is just ONE instance of several of Quinlan mentioning Obi-Wan, who only appears in this comic via a psychometric vision, but Quin keeps bringing him up anyways.

I mean this is. THIS is what made me WANT to know more about Quinlan in the first place! It's not in this gif, but the way Obi-Wan smiles in this scene? The way his eyes light UP? That's love, babey.

I could literally paste so much stuff from Dark Disciple, which to me has always been a QuinObi book in addition to Vostress. Quinlan has fallen (pretty much without understanding he has because he so badly wants to uncover Sidious) and missing his check-ins with Obi-Wan, but Obi-Wan keeps going back to their bar over and over again and he's been waiting for like, two hours at this point when Ventress comes in.

"Not him." Okay, buddy. Okay. Obi-Wan has like three panic attacks and outright defies his fellow council members at various points through this book because he believes so hard in Quinlan. He is INSISTENT that Quinlan can be brought back to the light.

These two pages made me SOB.

"She saved Quinlan" in italics. Not just his life, but his spirit. Those italics speak for themselves. And "Vos knew he could never repay Kenobi for that, but he has the rest of his life to try." Do ya, Quin? The rest of your life, huh?

Anyhow, truly, this is just me scratching the surface as I was limited by only being able to use 10 photos in a post. I’m leaving out sooo many other examples. You don't have to ship them! But these guys care a lot about each other and saying that it's just, impossible for them to have romantic feelings on posts or fics where the creator is, indeed, shipping them is ... weird. So is trying to overlay other ships onto specifically QuinObi content.

This has been a PSA.

[abibliophobiaa]

Hi Luna! I hope you're feeling better! I hope you don't mind me asking, but I was wondering if you know what happened to Emmy's (upsidedownwithsteve)'s blog? I was away all day yesterday and when I went to read one of her fics last night, it asked me for a password? If you don't feel comfortable answering this, I totally understand. I would also be happy to come off anon to chat directly if that makes more sense. Anyway, can't wait for the final part of RWYLM and I hope you feel better soon! Xx

She actually just posted something over on AO3, for anyone who was looking and searching (I saw a few people asking yesterday alone). I posted it down below.

It’s unfortunate that people on here are just so nasty. And it’s honestly why you’re seeing the fandom continue to shrink. I don’t really understand what people’s goals are. Other than being mean for the sake of being mean.

You curate your own space, and when you run all the writers off this site, what fandom experience are you going to have left? Think about it.

It makes me not even want to be on this site anymore (I’ve already been limiting my time on, which I’m sure many have noticed). And I’m sure I’m not the only one on here feeling this way as well.

I’d just say check on your favorite authors, because it definitely hurts when one (like Emmy and many others at this point) that we all love gets quite literally run off the site. And I’m sure it also prompts some to reevaluate whether or not this is a safe or fun space anymore.

Especially when this is someone (Emmy) who has always been kind to those around her (myself included), and is running her own business and pregnant. She should be ENJOYING this season, and some people just have literally no sense of decorum or common decency.

Remember that WE ARE ALL HUMANS ON HERE.

KINDNESS is free.

Just some food for thought. 🤍

[thetruthbetween]

Apologies to op for dropping this on your post, it's something I've been thinking of/talking to friends about for a while and this just happened to be the post that showed up at the same time I was thinking about it.

Everybody forgets that Azazel showed up ten years and six months after the deal. Not ten years to the day. She made the deal on (presumably) May 2 (the paper Dean looked at was dated April 30, and a couple days had passed) and Mary died on Nov 2. Azazel said he'd swing by in 10 years. 10 years from the deal, Mary was in the hospital giving birth to Sam.

It's canon that she did remember the demon deal, as when Azazel shows Sam the flashback to when he was fed demon blood, Mary ran into the room, saw Azazel, and said "you!" Which, according to Sam Smith, was part of her audition, so at the very least, right from the beginning it was known that Mary was aware of Azazel in some way. (Which also explains her "I'm sorry" to Sam in Home. Pretty sure that Kripke knew from the start that Mary had made a demon deal, regardless of whether or not he'd already deciding she was a hunter.)

As for the flickering light? Everyone always points that out because yeah, in SPN, flickering lights are pretty much always demon sign. But the thing is, she did check it out! She literally did not ignore it. She checked it out, and the flickering stopped, just like it would if it'd been caused by a loose bulb or faulty wiring after being tapped. Tapping a flickering light if the flickering is caused by a demon should actually have no effect on the flickering. Demon's still there, flickering should continue. But it doesn't.

You said “She thought she'd spend her next 20 years watching her boys grow up”. Did she really, though, when the inference on the show was she made a deal and the night she died was when her ten years were up?

I always chose to believe that when Michael mind-wiped her about the Angel encounter, he also wiped the deal from her memory. Because otherwise why didn't she take precautions? And yes, technically, she didn't know what the deal was for, Azazel was super vague about it, only told her he didn't want her soul, only "access" I think he said. Still, I think as a hunter, she'd known to be careful that date. Pour some salt, draw some covert devil's traps, notice a flickering light as a demon sign. Obviously within the show's writing that's not in there because I don't think that they knew from the start that she was a hunter or how that went down. They also hadn't fully developed the demon lore since that had just started and a lot of it changed in the course of the show. But I'm gonna go with the generous interpretation of she didn't remember because otherwise her not taking precautions when the deal is up is just plain stupid ��� (her ignoring the flickering light or at least not being on alert as a hunter was already plenty stupid, but again, I don't think they'd decided she was a hunter back then)

Yet Another Fandom PSA - tagging ships

Hi, it's me again.

Today I come with a small (ish?) pet peeve regarding proper tagging - tagging ships.

(⬆ This is where the magic happens)

What should you tag in "Relationships"?

Tag only the main relationship(s) that show up in the story. The relationship the fic is really about. Is about siblings? Is about a romantic relationship? Is about a platonic ship? Tag that, and only that.

Note: For Romantic relationship, use Character A/Character B. For Gen and Platonic relationships, use Character A & Character B

Don't tag relationships that are not relevant, or appear as background.

That includes, secondary ships that develop in the background or are established "off-screen" and don't actually have any screen time in the fic.

What if I want to warn/describe a ship that does show up anyway?

You can tag them as background in Additional Tags, adding some information that nuance how they show up if you want. For example, if it's a mention, or past relationship or if it's a temporary pairing but not the endgame.

eg. "Background Character A/Character B" or "Minor Character A/Character B" or "Mentions of Character A/Character B" or "Past Character A/Character B"

You can also use the Summary to specify and give context in what manner these relationships show up.

Why would I care? Is just a tag.

There are many reasons why tagging relationships properly is beneficial for the fandom as a whole.

First of all, keeps your tags clean and simple. It is easier for people browsing the Archive to know at a glance what the fic is about if your tags give the right amount of information and nothing more.

Second, it makes very difficult to filter if you like a ship that's not as popular as others. It can get very frustrating expecting your favorite ship to appear only to get to chapter 13 and neither of your ship shows up.

Third, the "otp:true" trick can only do so much.

If this is the first time you hear about "otp:true", it is a filtering trick that will automatically filter out all fics that have more than 1 "/" ship tagged in Relationship, leaving only the ones that have just the main ship tagged.

ID has been added to the pictures as ALT text.

For more info, you can check out AO3 official Tagging FAQs and this helpful guide: "The Fanfic Author's Guide to Metatext" (This is the chapter about relationship tagging)

Here's more filtering tricks for AO3

As always this post is not meant to shame if you do or have done this. I have done this too.

I felt so bad when someone approached me and said "hey, your crossover fic with this ship is the number 1 fic by kudos when you search for one of the main fandom's small ship" and honestly? wake up call.

So there's that!

Remember to be kind and happy fandom! 🥰✨

My crack theory aka my very well thought out engagement theory

PSA do not proceed if you can’t handle unsubstantiated speculation that borders on delusion.

⚠️

Seriously if you can’t have fun with this stop now.

Let’s head back to June 2021.

When her infamous yellow ring makes an appearance sometime between June 20th and June 30th. (My archives don’t go back that far so exact date TBD)

Her infamous yellow diamond ring that looks suspiciously like her dream engagement ring

Now she makes up some bullshit excuse (when asked by the BV journalist about the massive rock on her finger) about buying it for herself but also calls it a family heirloom that she looks forward to gifting her grandkids one day 🤨

And after it makes some iconic appearances

Like on this totally unimportant fandom day

If you don’t know what I’m talking about it’s the day they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Even after already being reunited for 2 weeks.

It was also a main character at the August Wedding that was the gift that kept on giving

[insert gif of him rubbing her ring. Can’t find it but trust me it happened]

Anyways after that it was a Z staple until early 2022.

Hmm I wonder what changed…

Enter the matching Bulgari Rings they wore religiously

The signet rings popped up in fall 2022.

But there has been since form of significant ring attached to her body since that June

In conclusion

No further questions

[fandomssaremysoul]

I have decided to make a MHA, Izuku Midoriya centric, fanfiction 101 recommendations, list.

I am but a basic bitch of nerds, but I have opinions and I WILL share them bc I'm incapable of shutting the fuck up.

Anyway this is a list of fic I think any person who reads fanfiction, is a BNHA fan and likes Izuku Midoriya, should read.

(is it actually an excuse to find ppl who like the same shit i do? Maybe.)

So, this list will contain fics that are completed ONLY.

There are a lot of MHA staples that aren't finished yet, and they will get a post of their own.

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Alright disclaimers, PSA, whatever, ALWAYS and I fuckin mean ALWAYS, read the tags and trigger warnings bc I won't lie, some might get a bit dark.

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

1. Complicated Creation - Elemental

Easily one of the best fics I've ever read. Great world building based on the Ghibli movie Spirited away. We love to see it. The writing and plot are both breath-taking.

It has quirkless Izuku, spirits, dragons, healing and a sprinkle of a classic trope in the MHA fandom, Dadzawa.

2. Hero Class Civil Warfare - RogueDruid

If you have been in the fandom space for at least a couple of months and have been reading fics, you have, 100% heard of RogueDruid. He has, hands down, some of the most captivating work in the whole of the internet. One of the classics, is HCCW. It has inspired a lot of other fics, which had gone the class War route (hmu if u want reccs). Incredibly well done, the EFFORT that went into this had to be astounding. There isn't a single miss.

Without spoiling too much, the class 1 A and 1 B, have a final exam. The exam in this world, is a war between villain and heros. Izuku is put into the position of the leader of the villains, the Kingpin while his rival, the Paragon, is none other than Katsuki Bakugou. We get a mastermind Izuku, characters from 1 B, that I personally never cared much for, before reading this fic and more.

3. Mastermind: Strategist for Hire by Clouds

Staying in the villain Izuku waters, I present Mastermind. A part of a series called For the want of a nail, that follows different universes in which Izuku stays quirkless. Mastermind is a personal favourite. It's the second installment of the series and has an ongoing sequel. (The series includes Viridian: the green guide, Deku? I think he's some pro, Chet Code: support strategist and two more, which aren't completed yet).

Here, Izuku stays quirkless as he loses any hope left for the hero society. He, unfortunately for the world, is stupidly smart and easily gained a fearsome reputation, for being the best strategist for hire for villains. After realizing the world sucks and he, in fact, doesn't, Izuku becomes a villain the likes héroes have never seen before.

4. The Mystery of Student No.18 by cloud_nine_and_three_quarters

Another author, that has me by the scruff of my goddamm neck. Went for my throat every fuckin time. I will name the other fics later but lemme tell you about this one.

It's the second fic in the list, that has Izuku with OFA. This time though, Izuku stayed true to his self-sacrificing roots and got himself into a coma. While in his lovely sleeping beauty-esk state, OFA keeps giving him energy and thus an once of a lifetime opportunity to become a ghost. Yes you heard that right. He becomes a ghost and lightly haunts his class. The fic is golden, funny and just a little bit sad.

The other three fics, just as good as this one are Canary, Why are we here again? and Displacement.

5. Yesterday upon the stair by PitvViperOfDoom

Keeping with the ghost theme, we have the one and only YUTS. Again, world building is of the charts great. A great quirk and awesome themes with unexpected turns and plots. The gist is, Izuku can see ghosts. This story is one of the rare ones where Nana Shimura (my beloved) plays a bigger role than usual. Definitely chdck out the additional parts of the series though at that point it goes slightly into more crack waters but it's still incredible.

6. [Content] by Teobot

Taking a sharp turn into morally grey vigilante route, we get this great first part of an incredible ongoing series. There are two parts done and the wait is always worth it.

7. Assignment: Personality Swap by BelleAmant

First I wanted to recc their vigilante Izuku fic (Vigil, Ante and their vigilante antics) but I must admit, while a classic, it hasn't been as impactful to the fandom as Personality Swap has been. Both with its incredible humor, bit of angst and quirk fuckery the whole series has been nothing but hits.

8. Another form of power by Jade_Tatsu

Veering directly back into villain Izuku, this one was a breath of fresh air. I once got tired of villain Izuku that was either forced to be a villain or was just a vigilante but darker, so I went on a search and found this. The series All for power, is a 4 part ENTIRELY COMPLETED series, about politician villain Izuku. The first part is told mostly through the eyes of Kurogiri and I swear, it's my favorite of the all.

9. How Seven (7) Dead Heroes Stopped Being Bored by ScottishSunshine

Crack inspired, but more All for one focused that Izuku, but still most things happen because of the Midoriya family so it counts. It's good and fun and an interesting read especially of you're fond of Dad for one.

10. Prodigal by writerllofllworlds

And for the end, let's get our hearts crushed just a little.

An angst filled suspected traitor AU. In my humble opinion, very few have ever truly succeeded in writing a traitor AU, nearly as good as this one. I like it in most part because Izuku goes through hell and back, and I just am like that. It's epic.

Was this list an exuse to talk about fics I like? Yes. But do i feel like everyone who like BNHA should read these?

Abso - fuckin-lutley

I consider it a crime if you don't. Also pls do add your own opinions and if you want more reccs, ask in the comments or dm me or whatever floats your boat Besties.

Kiki the nerd, signing off

IMPORTANT FANDOM PSA

Context: Several people in the fandom are being harassed and impersonated by one individual. He has now accused me of pretty serious shit

Cersei! Nice to hear from you again. Your stench warned me of your presence.

So.

Fake accusation is fake, but seems rather real if someone without context sees this soooo

To everyone: This is fake. If you follow me you'll know I'd never think of sending or saying anything like that, cuz my parents raised a good person. (censored cuz I don't want that language on my blog)

BUT OF COURSE that looks real.

HOWEVER:

It's not an actual ask. If you look for the post on @guyyg1 blog you'll see that it's just a photo... weird to answer someone like that.

if you edit the picture, you'll see those weird colored things. It means that the picture has been edited.

How can you be sure that those things don't appear everywhere?

I'm so glad you asked and I'm so grateful for @guyyg1 so send me some more harassment to prove it

kind of a stupid move to send hate to someone who you are trying to frame for doing the same thing. ANYWAY those are insults in broken italian.

if you do the same editing tricks you'll see that the pic is clear and with no squiggles

Everyone is welcome to do the same to check if you want.

Also, so sorry, Merlin fandom, I'll have to tag this post with all the tags Cersei used cuz I don't want that thing to go unchecked, and I want someone scrolling through the tags to see my response first.

Flag them if you can, and sorry to all the people following my side blogs who will see this once I repost

PSA FOR USER RANDOMGOOBERNESS (Goob/Angel)

Goob has multiple issues surrounding racism, ableism, misconduct with minors, animal abuse, gore, and is an extremely manipulative individual.

They are currently active in the webcomic, HLVRAI, and Warrior Cats communities. They've previously been active in the FNAF and ATLA fandoms. (thus why those fandoms have been tagged)

This document was compiled by four individuals and contains screenshots exposing Goob's behavior to warn others of their online presence. We are thankful for everyone who reads & interacts with this PSA.

 Do NOT go out of your way to doxx, harass, or raid their servers. Do not send hate anons, death threats, or try to hack their accounts. You will not gain anything by doing so. We do not encourage this kind of behavior in the slightest and find it despicable.

if you have had any experiences with Goob that you would like to share, please contact the ORIGINAL BLOG this post is from. Our DMs & Ask Box are open.

EDIT: Clearing up any misconceptions

None of this PSA was written in bad faith. The authors believe that with time and effort, Goob could change.

99% of these screenshots were public information from public servers or servers with members that wished to step forward about their experiences. The few messages taken from DMs were properly censored and all context provided.

Screenshots were not taken out of context. Any single message screenshot is a one-off message or had no relevant context. The reason why this document is so long is because of the context added.

It does not matter that Goob was 17 in a small percentage of these screenshots. These are repeated issues to them being 21 (and some situations still are extremely inappropriate if Goob was 17 anyway.)

Finally: No, this could not of been handled "privately". Attempts have been made and failed. Goob is stubborn and uses DMs to attempt control over the situation. They do not admit wrong doings.

In response to this (context post)

here's how the fandom gets racist (post S2 finale edition) when it speaks about armand and lestat (or loumand and loustat). user cosmicjoke (nalyra's "reverse racism is real" friend) on June 30, 2024

and here's other examples of virginia and nalyra talking recently in ways that make sure to center lestat in everything and themselves as "victims" for defending his character (never saw ur names on any "fandom PSAs" but ok).

the full context of the "loumand in paris" quote and more

the thing is. the show has *not* centered lestat in the loumand relationship from armand's side of it tho. fucking actually. show fans do *not* have any context for this. so it's rly fucking weird to push this attitude that everything we saw about loustat was a lie. disregard that entire thing bcuz louis is crazy and a liar, armand is prbly mind controlling him fully anyway, it's all the black and brown characters faults. also their relationship sucks and everything u see there is real and BAD!!! armand's abuse is real!! lestat's isn't (nevermind the show has confirmed that within canon, we still have S3 to explain it away)!! we've been so bullied for so long bcuz we're only trying to tell the truth and black fans especially are soooOooo mean to us!!!!!!

it's not about "the books." it's about ppl pushing racist agendas and trying to look as innocent as possible doing it. it's about erasing everything to do with black and brown characters and relationships to serve only the white guy and whatever he does.

I do not understand why anyone speaks to these ppl and anyone associated with them. they are the sole reason this fandom has all of the racial issues it does. this is the whole reason I'm here. yet ppl come to me and tell me I'm the problem and I'm obsessive and deranged and whatever else. if more of u stopped positively interacting with and defending racist shit and/or spoke up about it as much as it occurs, it wouldn't have such a hold here! but it's easier for most (white) fans to just never say shit and any fans of color to just slowly leave over time and the cycle continues forever. all that's left is this poisonous shit, still infecting more and more fans bcuz it's the most prominent thing in the tags.

Minato starring in anti-bullying PSA after accidentally snooping on Toris fandom mail

see i have been thinking about the minato-team 4 dynamic and i think it goes

a big part of minato giving kushina a genin team is that she keeps talking about having more kids. she'll be like "naruto is me with your hair, so obviously the next one will be a girl that has my hair and your face." and minato is simultaneously like "i want ten kids with kushina" and "not only is kushina having kids EXTREMELY dangerous, but with us both working constantly, we are both struggling to give just naruto enough attention so a baby is probably not a good idea right now" and "i desperately want to give my wife everything she wants. i would kill for my imaginary redheaded baby"

so he gives her a team of cute baby ninja because if he can't distract her maternal instincts he WILL agree to another kid. and it works! except he stupidly didn't expect to get pulled into kushina's.... sensei instincts?

kushina: these random orphans are my children now. itachi, you have two moms now

team 4: wait what

and like she obviously draws a line between "my students" and "my actual child" but it's a lot more wishy-washy than a lot of jounin sensei, and it's compounded by deidara and tori not having their own family to fall back on. so minato starts like "well, kushina gets passionate about things, and i'm glad the team is bonding" but very unfortunately he's huffing the ksuhina fumes so slowly, very slowly, he's like "yeah, naruto and our assortment of ninja-children, obviously"

(a weird side effect is kushina actively becomes more maternal to kakashi? like i imagine kakashi is AROUND and he's the preferred babysitter for naruto, but it's not until he's like 22 that kushina is like "um, our SON, kakashi?" and he's like, "....what?")

and, like, AGAIN, there's a difference between "teenagers i'm mentoring" and "my actual student, kakashi" and "my actual son." but also his feelings toward team 4 are definitely different from other teenaged ninja under his command. very unfortunate for him.

anyway all mail going out of the village does get screened so he "accidentally" reads tori's mail because SOMEONE has to and he's curious. the PSA doesn't reference tori's mail but She Knows

tori: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME

minato: listen, i understand you are a tough person capable of handling her own problems, but there's no reason people should treat you like this

minato: also i know there's like a 30% chance you're going to hunt that person down and do something to them, and that would be bad for konoha PR

tori: i wouldn't do anything bad to them

minato: you say that but i've seen people after one (1) conversation with you
