If someone else comes to me complaining that Vander and Silco are brothers and CANNOT be shipped, I might snap.
#HELP SOME PEOPLE ARE DOING IT WITH JAYVIK TOO NOOO#they called each other brothers? so what. So did Erik and Charles and boy don't get my started on cherik 'cause they even ended up as canon#it doesn't help that some people think they were ACTUAL brothers#but come on since when has it been so hard giving people space to like whatever they like (as long as it's not harmful)?#it doesn't mean we are forsaking the values of simple close friendship#it just means we fancy seeing those two old men happy together only in a different kind of relationship which does not negate your opinion#shipping vander and silco doesn't mean we see every male friendship as gay#why have we forgotten that different interpretations of a single piece of art can exist especially postmodern ones#we can coexist guys there's no need for arguments#zaundads#vanco#vander x silco#silco x vander#arcane

How it feels to not like timebomb after s2
#I'M NOT A HATER I SWEAR I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE IT ON PAPER#i do however think that it came literally out of nowhere and was hella rushed and kinda ridiculous#like. if the argument is that original ekko fell in love with jinx it doesn't make sense because they were enemies for most of their lives#if the argument is that current ekko fell in love with au powder and now projects these feelings on jinx it's kinda uh. messed up#because she's a whole different person. entirely. it doesn't matter if both these version started out as a 9-year old powder. they had#extremely different lives and experiences and thinking that “there's still this kind of powder in jinx deep down” is straight-up awful#OR even if he didn't project his feelings for powder on jinx why would he love her in the current universe? last time they met she blew them#up and now she wants to commit suicide. there's literally no reason for him to have any kind of feelings except the slight friendly#affection that's left from all those years ago. and yet the show and most importantly the fandom treats them like a couple??? i don't get it#also it's kinda insane that s2 turned jinx and ekko into flat shipping material#again. obviously i have nothing against the shippers and do not condemn it in any way. i'm just expressing my thoughts on the matter#also what pisses me off the most. is how in ep9 jinx in fully painted with ekko's symbols here and there. has the bandage (?) on her chest#like vi. has a hood that looks like a drawing that isha made. and yet there's no fishbones or any reference to silco at all#i mean. i get it s2 hates him but i can't help it#they gave her all these relationships and pretended that they're significant to her and yet they didn't have any proper development#to really earn it#arcane critical#arcane season 2#anti timebomb#jinx arcane#ekko arcane

"the virgin mary didn't feel labor pain when delivering jesus because she is free of original sin!!!!" if you don't have any meaningful and healthy relationships with the women in your life you can just say that <3
#thoughts#i could go on about different arguments based in theology and mariology but you know what? no#this is a joke......... kind of#i really really really dislike the painlessness debate and it doesn't help that a man has always been the one to spew it#i'm open to hearing well-rounded and sound arguments for it that aren't a single verse in genesis and hating women#i <3 nuance and different interpretations#not a single one has convinced me#i 100% believe in the immaculate conception btw don't get it twisted

[ID: a drawing of pye from outer wilds, standing with her writing staff. she's wearing an orange nomai space suit without the helmet, and she has a light brown face with curly darker brown fur. end ID]
figuring out how i want to draw the nomai, so here's a pye since i am obsessed with her !!!
#outer wilds#pye#she was one of the easiest to start recognizing across text because she is involved in so many different things#but then i saw the scroll where she was calculating trajectories to the sun station and i Was in love immediately#and i love that the sun station was designed (by the game artists not by pye) to look more weapon-like than anything else the nomai built#as a way to show how it goes against their nature to do something so destructive and high risk#and since pye is the one kind of leading that and being so vocally For it it implies that she is also acting against nomai nature#but i dont think thats necessarily true!! a majority of the nomai agreed or else the idea would have been voted down#(even tho it did spark arguments)#and the oldest nomai recording we have access to is from escall making a split second decision to warp to an unknown place#just to follow a signal the group was curious about and it put them in danger!!! that killed people!!!#like i know its more about the potential damage to the solar system and the life there but#throwing caution to the wind for scientific discovery is very much nomai nature From What I Saw !!!#not that i am saying the game creators are wrong lmao but i mean like. i think it is against their nature AND so very exactly their nature#at the same time and thats why there Was so much debate about it#and i think pye is the embodiment of trying Everything Possible (and impossible) to find answers and learn#AND SHE IS SEXY FOR IT#ANYWAYS. clears throat#blow up that sun girl hashtag women in stem

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

tbh saying "X fictional thing is problematic and therefore Morally Wrong" and taking it to heart like a purity campaign whose practitioners must be eradicated from this fair earth is obviously pretty stupid, nasty and unhelpful... but to me the whole "you know fictional characters aren't real lol right" type of backlash hangs out roughly in the same philosophical ballpark than "the curtains are blue because they are fucking blue" jokes, and I wouldn't exactly call that progress either
#thoughts#critical media analysis#remember her everyone?#this is her now#feel old yet?#anyway both of these approaches are different shades of anti-intellectualism and I'm sure we can collectively choose to do better#fiction is argumentative inherently! even merely emotionally --it still attempts to convince your brain of something#and I feel like a lot of people don't understand that this is an unescapable part of fiction that can (and should) be unpacked#and its conclusions don't even have to lead to any sort of swift and immediate punitive justice of any kind!!!#wild I know

stands on your dash. i've been doing some thinking
and i think my ideal narilamb dynamic would theoretically be like
narinder resurrects the lamb as a vessel -> they get closer as the lamb learns how to be a cult leader and how to use the crown -> narinder realizes he's having Real feelings for his newest vessel and prophesied savior -> he can't do that bcus he's going to have to kill them once he's freed so he suppresses the feelings and maintains a pleasant but distant friendship with the lamb -> the lamb realizes only as he pulls away that they were starting to have feelings for narinder and thinks that he's pulling away bcus he noticed and wants them to back off -> narinder is satisfied but a little sad that the lamb seems to be accepting the distance and assumes nothing was happening there -> they're mutually pining as the lamb gets closer to the goal and narinder starts grieving this through the joy of anticipating freedom -> narinder tries to kill the lamb who instead defeats and indoctrinates narinder -> all of the love on both sides of this equation turns to bitter betrayal bcus the lamb thought they could maybe spend eternity together and narinder was expecting the lamb to lay down their life for him -> they're stuck together anyway -> over the course of like a decade (potentially more) + the lamb dealing with the other bishops + a lot of working together they manage to pull a friendship back together -> one day a cultist refers to narinder as the lamb's husband and they realize that at some point maybe they did fall back in love. and it's different now and it's weird and it's nothing like what they each were expecting the first time around. but it's something and it's beautiful in its own way
(also important: there Are arguments in the decade interim. like they're not getting to the love without talking about the betrayal and they're not going to talk about that without getting into arguments and sometimes the arguments aren't technically about the betrayal but they kind of are about the betrayal and the pain and the fact that neither of them is inherently a very good communicator and the fact that the lamb is a mortal learning to be a god and narinder is a god learning to be a mortal)
this is. of course. so much fucking timeline. there's no guarantee that i will or won't write this eventually but if this concept is out there somewhere i'd love to see it lmao (or if someone sees this and wants to elaborate on it. tag me pls). this is also definitely pieced together from other folks' wonderful ideas so if this has echoes of something else that's why jfkldsajfklds
#little rock.txt#cult of the lamb#narilamb#this was partially inspired by a fic i'm working on as well lmao#it's not narilamb... technically. it's in the interim where they're learning how to be their new selves#but they Are having an argument that's kind of about the topic of the argument and kind of about narinder's grief and about the lamb's grie#which are wildly different but permanently intertwined bcus narinder's lead to the lamb's lead to narinder's lead to the lamb's etc etc#also i Can and Will elaborate more on these steps individually if you want. literally just send me an ask lmao

Yeah let's also cancel Lewis Hamilton for meeting and having conversations with Putin... Yeah... Also maybe Seb too because he was also there???? Yeah... Right...some of you have never had a job where you had to talk positively about someone you didn't like or approved just for the sake of keeping that job.
idk which time ur talking about hamilton and putin meeting up and making friends, as the only time i can find that they've interacted was at the 2015 russian grand prix where putin was giving out the race trophies. hamilton, vettel, and perez were all on the podium for that race. correct me if im wrong and theres another time theyve met, but thats literally all i can find.
now, first of all, there's a big difference between having to interact with a political figure on a race podium, and choosing to interact with them freely out in the paddock, taking pictures with them, and praising them in additional interviews. there's also a big difference between being polite to the current leader of the country you're in that is known for killing/imprisoning people who speak out against him, and actively supporting an ex-leader who has (as far as we know) never actually killed someone for not being supportive.
if you ask me, it would've been unsafe for hamilton or any of the drivers on that podium to speak out against putin at that moment or act impolitely. on the other hand, the biggest trouble norris could get in for not praising trump and taking pictures with him is maybe a talking too back at the mclaren HQ. like, lets be real, it would be ridiculous and insane of mclaren to fire norris after all the time/resources theyve put into his development, especially now that its finally starting to pay off. it would be like shooting themselves in the foot, a move thats generally reserved for ferrari's strategy team or sauber's pit stops.
furthermore, you are simply assuming that norris' job wouldve been at risk in this situation. not once has it been implied that he was threatened or coerced into this situation. its even less likely that that has happened since piastri hasn't made any comments or taken any pictures with trump as far as i can find. for all we know, it could've been norris' idea to do all that. so, not exactly the strongest defense here.
and even if he had been forced into the corner and told to take pictures and play nice, he also took it a step further to compliment trump in other interviews saying it was an "honor" and there's a lot to "respect" about trump. hamilton has never come out saying any of that about putin. in fact, he has come on the record since then condemning putin and his actions. can you tell me where norris has come out condemning trump and his actions? no? that's funny.
#even if you did make the baseless assumption that everything lando norris did this weekend was being forced by mclaren#its still a stupid argument#theres a difference between being nice with “someone you dont like” and praising a literal bigoted wanna-be dictator#anyone with any kind of moral backbone in that situation wouldnt have allowed things to go that far and wouldve taken a stand against it#u dont think all those protests that hamilton and other drivers like vettel participated in put their jobs at risk?#u dont think that put a lot of pressure and danger on them?#yet they still chose to do the right thing#dont come into my inbox again spewing this nonsense#even if hamilton was getting real buddy buddy with putin#hes educated himself grown as a person and publicly changed his stance#and until norris does the same he has lost my respect#lewis hamilton#lh44#lando norris#anti lando norris#ln4#mclaren#mercedes#donald trump#vladimir putin#politics#adding so people can filter those out#formula 1#f1#reds ask tag

If Jon and Elias weren't Jon and Elias, I would probably ship them. However, as it stands, Jon and Elias are, in fact, Jon and Elias, so I cannot ship them
#i was going to put “so i have to throw up every time i see them shipped together” but that seemed a bit mean#do u understand what im saying tho#the dynamic they have actually makes for so much potential and its the kind of fucked up toxicity that i notmally love in ships#i love jon and hate elias#elias deserves so much worse (peter)#and jon deserves so much better (martin)#and i can't see jon doing anything other than hating elias#elias is a lot meaner and argumentative than jon could probably handle#the reason peter and elias work is bc peter doesnt mind the fact tgat elias nitpicks everything he does#but jon wouldn't like that#also jon is sex repulsed ace and i hc elias as hypersexual#there are also many other reasons why this wouldnt work but my point is#i cannot stand jonelias#however#if they were different characters in the same position#i would probably ship tf out of them#bc their dynamic works so well#its just their characters that clash#anyways.#shut up mori#tma#the magnus archives#elias bouchard#jonathan sims

Also, like, as someone who's adjacent to a lot of reactionary communities, I keep wishing there was more conversations on Tumblr about not just trolling, but also a) about how some people's hobby is to make other people miserable, to hate on things because other people like them and b) about how some people's hobby is harassing other people, and c) about how these are not necessarily overlapping taxa of internet dipshit, and how you have to take different approaches with them to actually get them to leave you alone.
#van stuff#I understand why there isn't#I've tried and failed to write about this phenomenon multiple times#but I do think a more rounded understanding of people who are assholes as enrichment would help with a lot of#what do I call it? Arguments that don't need to be arguments? Cross-community hostility#basically every week I see two people who I follow and respect for different things get into arguments#and sit there feeling hopeless about how they don't need to be fighting#because neither of them wants anything bad for the other in the abstract#and are simply engaging each other in the belief that the other is the kind whose hobby is being an asshole of some kind

Main takeaway from Closing Night is that Violetta is autistic as hell. Good night
#/hj there are other improtant takeaways ofc#but like fr the entire time she was on screen she was so immensely autistic in a way that i really resonated with#the way she just seemed to be on a whole different wavelength from everyone else in the group#and could never read the room#and was just kind of vaguely offputting to the others a lot of the time#and also kept flapping her hands and other such movements#idc if NE never says anything shes autistic to me now and i take no argument#anyway i need to sleep#era speaks#idv#identity ⅴ#idv violetta#idv soul weaver

I honestly think "-genic" labels are useless at this point.
The labels "endogenic" and "traumagenic" do absolutely nothing to tell you how that person experiences systemhood or if they're actually a system or not.
Theres CDD systems who identify as endogenic and "non-disordered systems" who identify as traumagenic.
Just because someone IDs as endogenic doesn't mean they're not a system and just because someone IDs as traumagenic doesn't mean they are a system.
Fakers and mistakers are prevalent on both sides.
#i just think we should focus on different kinds of misinformation more#instead of focusing on these arbitrary labels#lets talk about how fusion isnt killing your alters!#or how headspace is just your imagination!#or how fuison cant happen due to stress or trauma#literally anything else that does more harm to pwCDDs#im just tired of seeing the same argument over and over again#syscourse

If I see another god damn post about how “Charlie and Vaggie have no chemistry” or “x relationship has so much more chemistry than Chaggie” I’m GOING to start flipping tables
#the day fandoms realize chemistry is subjective and that there’s different kinds of chemistry is the day Fat Nuggets flies#god I’m so sick of this argument#charlie x vaggie#Chaggie#starmoth#Hazbin hotel#Hazbin hotel fanom critical#chaggie sugar#I bet if I asked half of y’all what chemistry means you wouldn’t be able to say shit

saw your most recent post about really good fics that contain uncomfortable kinks and i immediately thought "ah, biscia must be reading the mpreg soriel fic" and almost left a reply talking about it but i stopped myself because i realized that would be an insane assumption to make. needless to say i felt so vindicated when i saw you link it in an earlier post.
like. HELLO?
HELLO???????
#answered asks#''I fear nothing good ever comes of it when it does'' is straight up SEARED into my brain as the toriel line of all time I've ever read#there's some character interpretations I don't share there. like i said i don't think either of them would cry that easily#and while the different conception (badumtss) of sex/gender in various monsters was interesting#i felt like it didn't quite deal with the ramifications of not strictly binary reproductions on social perception of gender like I could've#eg the part about boss monsters being closer to humans in how it works and thus having a different concept of mom/dad compared to skeletons#was pretty nice. but if you establish that skeletons work like ghosts but distinguish she/he ''for some reason'' even though all of them#can bear kids. and then you make a comment about ''the child possibly growing into a woman considering the shape of the pelvis'' it's like#why??????? why. whywhywhy. why would that be a factor. even hypothesizing a certain physical dimorphism. WHY pick the one tied to pregnancy#the ONE ASPECT that you decided was shared between both ''male'' and ''female'' skeletons#it's also like. objectively an argument that is leveraged to hurt and deny trans people irl so it was just. unbelievably uncomfortable#this is what we mean with mpreg and transphobia btw#not that the concept is inherently transphobic or hurtful to trans people#but that that kind of alternative biological worldbuilding implies an alternative social conception of gender role for the characters#that a lot of authors just. straight up miss. because their view of the world is still very cis/perisexist#BUT!!!!!!!!!!#it was still over all a very good fic. I'd rec it to pll not into that for the initial 2 chapters alone
