Scalding, unnecessary take that I'm going to use as an excuse to yap about my hyperfixation characters more than anything, but El's character is actually impossible to stick into coffee shop fanfiction No Supernatural Shit AUs. That's Jane you're writing about. Jane and El are not the same person. At all. And like, Jane is interesting to think about, don't get me wrong. I have thought about Jane. I love Jane. She's adorable and vaguely autistic. But Jane != Eleven.

Eleven is the way she is almost entirely because of her experience/trauma of growing up in the lab and having supernatural murder powers. Her main characters traits are being a self-sacrificing hero and not being sure who she is due to the fact she grew up in an isolated sterile inhuman environment. Unless you're directly translating those things into something unsupernatural (like growing up in a fucked up cult or something and like fighting her way out and now she'll fight to protect other people from similar experiences or something idk) you're writing about Jane the normal gorl who got to grow up with a normal personality in a normal world. And like, you can do that. It's fine it's fandom do whatever u want. But personally, the first thing I come up with when I birth an AU is what crazy powers and fucked up backstory we give Eleven here. Also how do we make her and everyone else really fucking cool but that...might be beside the point idk.

The powers have to basically ruin or have had ruined her life at one point. They have to be a curse that she either reclaims or gets rid of at the end. If she isn't tortured she isn't Eleven Stranger Things lmao

And then yeah yeah my next step is to figure out how Mike AND THE OTHERS OK but mostly Mike get involved in this. Which brings me to my next point: Jane and Mike have no real reason to talk to each other. Mike x Jane is just Normal Gorl x Normal Boy which is like, fine sure if that's what you want, but also you kinda just erased everything interesting about their dynamic. You wanna know what makes El and Mike's relationship so compelling? Objectively? I'm objectively right about everything I'm about to say here? Ok their dynamic is this: Eleven is the most important person in the world, and Mike is the only boy who will ever love her. And yeah that second one sounds really sad but 1. yeah it kinda is :) 2. its not really true that's just what El thinks which is like a major theme for her character TO ME, her underestimating how 'normal' she is esp in her later years 3. it also is kinda true because he's the only boy romantically interested in her who actually understands and experienced all the supernatural/lab trauma bullshit and is actively fighting beside her through the plot of the show, and 4. he's literally perfect and also the only boy she'll ever love and need so it all works out.

And to explain the first one, I mean, you know she's saved the world twice right? She kinda literally is the most important person in the world considering its up to her to stop the apocalypse probably in the end? But its not the being important exactly that makes Mike love her ok, that's more of a meta character thing. Like she doesn't have to literally be the key to saving the world and the most powerful being in the universe. Its more that she has to have something really special about her that draws Mike specifically to her and binds him to her permanently and inseparably and he belongs to her forever and ever and they die in each other's arms. Like she deserves. In canon I imagine objectively and correctly that it went like this: Mike is a natural outcast collector and protector due to his pervasive unconscious need to be needed and his fear of losing the few people who like him, who meets the ultimate outcast girl who literally has nothing and needs him in a very real way, and this gives him an excuse to just pour his entire self into her, fulfilling one of his deepest interpersonal needs. The best part is that she's super selfless and amazing and she loves him the same right back so its actually a beautiful thing they get going. Basically the idea of being anything less than perfect for her is so sad and horrible due to how fucked her life was that it drives the already caretaking Mike into overdrive to make her happy. Not at the cost of him still being an individual person, mind you. But that's the vibe. Also let me just say, all the self-sacrificing vibes and obsession and desperation can become toxic under certain circumstances and that is absolutely a feature not a bug. Sorry you don't like watching your faves yell at each other but we are not the same.

Anyway what the fuck was I talking about? AUs? Yeah ok so when translating Mike (AND THE OTHERS...and the others) into other stories there's more flexibility u kno because he's mostly just Some Guy. He really just needs (TO ME) an excuse to be fighting with Eleven (she has to be fighting something with the powers I know you gave her). He shouldn't be directly involved with whatever gave her the powers but he should generally know of and be somewhat affected by it. Or become aware of it/involved with it over time. Like in the show. You get it. Honestly his only real consistent character traits are being kinda moody and being the leader of the party in whatever vague or not way. And being intelligent. Like he has to be leader for a reason. I guess that's a decent base for a character right there.

oh right side note: you have to do something fun with her name. like she was basically branded Eleven by the freak that gave her the powers so u gotta take that energy and translate it into another branded name that has el in it because she needs to get the nickname ofc. unless its a cyberpunk au in which case Eleven is a pretty normal name and she can just go by that lmao.

So the point ig is Jane and Mike break up when they go away to different colleges and don't talk to each other again until their next high school reunion, while Mike and Eleven are...well you should know by now.

Tumblr didn't like my depravity so if a cissy boy or girl wants to hear what I'll do to them (include a picture<3), they'll have to ask politely in my DMs.

I'm a 25yo Canadian trans women switch, though you don't have the guts to dominate me. You can call me Momma.

Reminder to block instead of report <3 fuckin narc

Kinks:

Anything goes, baby <3

But predominantly will be posting trans supremacy and mommy stuff

Hard limits:

No face slapping! Momma won't tolerate the disrespect

bad cissies make Momma lose her temper.

The terms of engagement:

Men will be force femmed, women will be treated as brood mares and factories, but my lovely trans daughters will be loved and adored! Our ever loyal fake boys will get spoiled rotten <3

Now that the terms of engagement are established, send me pictures! I love seeing the predators and prey in my forest, especially when it's pictures of girl cock or girl hole ;3 pussy is nice too ig... But if a cissy really wants to get on my good side, send me a picture of your mouth and teeth! I love teeth, all kinds <3 fake boys can send anything they want <3

I'm looking for something to make my Wife. Momma gets really lonely in these woods, someone serious would make her very happy. So shoot your shot, worst thing that can happen is you realize I'm not worth the effort X3c

Blah blah blah this is all fiction blah blah don't actually do this stuff blah blah. You're an adult, get over it.

hi hello i hope ur having a great day!

this is by no means trying to be a rant post but i just needed a different perspective on this issue so to speak. i got into an “argument” (one sided tbh LOL) with an ashleon shipper (which…. is whatever… ig…) and they were saying that ashleon is canon in re4 remake and i was like how ???? they were completely mischaracterizing aeon too. so im just really confused bc before i became a hardcore re fan and was an outsider so to speak, i just assumed that leon and ada were an “item” bc thats how they have always been portrayed. and then i go on here and retwt (eww) and ppl do not think that AT ALL. ppl think ur crazy for thinking aeon is a canon thing. i just feel like im missing a puzzle piece all the time bc its like … i thought it was pretty obvious? and its so hard to hear the other side on these conversations bc they are so rude and judgmental and dont want to have a civil conversation and hear the other side. so i just wanted to get ur perspective on this issue and why ppl might not automatically think aeon is a thing bc i really like ur takes on aeon as a whole! this also isnt trying to be negative or a shitpost, i just want to hear a different positive and ig “constructive” perspective on this!

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG I JUST HAVE NO WHERE TO TALK ABT THIS STUFF AND I LOVE TALKING ABT IT SO LIKE SORRY HAHA

okay thank you lol

HI HELLO MY LOVE I ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT DAY SKJDFBSJK

yeah i dunno tbh, there's a few very loud ashleon shippers that are claiming that it's canon but i don't know what kind of like cognitive dissonance you gotta be suffering from to think it's canon. i half the time think they're doing it to purposely piss off other shippers so i just don't engage with them lmao

i think that out of all the ships in re, other than like ethan and mia- aeon was the only other one pushed to be canon. i'd argue that chris and jill are barely even romantic (even though i don't care for the ship, i know lots of people ship valenfield) (im more of a clairejill or jill carlos fan meself) (reminder again ship whoEVER YOU WANT IDGAF SKDFBSK)

typically when it comes to promos and stuff, aeon tends to be pushed together though (like from capcom) so that's always been kinda cute and nice. (i love seeing all the teppen art of aeon, and random capcom promos of aeon together)

i just feel like because the ship is "not conventional" it gets a lot of backlash, particularly because the female character doesn't adhere to social norms and gender roles. and typically because aeon falls into this category, people are quick to tear down ada because of it

it's just the same shit lol. i just choose not to engage with it cause i got better shit to do with my time

i'm not the one going into blogs to scream about how i don't like the ship that they're posting and talking about

(me talking about the anons i still get to this day that are like OMG AEON SO BAD BLAH BLAH BLAH, and im like- did you make a tumblr account to do this or-)

feel free to send me a dm if you wanna chat tho lol

I also hate seeing everyone online who gets angry over him not posting anything for the palestine-israel situation. I guess that’s affecting him too and I sure guess that’s really hard for him. Although I’d really like if he posted something about it I think he doesn’t owe us any explanation or post or anything at all nor he should justify everything. Sometimes I really think some people should be banned from the internet for all the hate they share towards a celebrity so kind like he is

well, I've received anon asks calling him horrible names because he hasn't said anything, and honestly I don't get why people pretend not to know why he hasn't said anything.

He probably can't say stuff, he probably has contracts with studios (probably disney idk) that he shouldn't engage in this kind of political stuff... He's overly exposed in the media, anything he does attracts attention: if he makes some comments about the situation then no matter if it's right or wrong, it can affect his image and turn into a shit storm about him; Pedro's position is very delicate: he's been elected as the internet boyfriend and it wouldn't take much for the majority of the people who praised him for being awesome turn against him for whatever reason; of course he used to be way more political back then, but he wasn't as big of a star as he is today and unfortunately with all the fame and recognition he got, it also comes with the bad side of it, so to me it's pretty clear why he hasn't said anything

And idk if it's selfish of me or not, but as I stated before, I have bigger personal problems than worrying if Pedro is making political statements or not, I mean, if he actually could do something to cease fire and change the situation, I would understand, but at the end of the day he is just a celebrity and I don't get the fuss of wanting a celebrity to speak about every single thing that happens in the world 🤷🏻‍♀️

Btw I've seen some fans on twitter suggesting they flood his comments on ig and his name tag on tt with a hashtag or whatever to make him say something, I mean, why? Just to make him feel bad because he can't?

And then they are gonna whine because pedro has become too private and doesn't use social media anymore and blah blah blah

OH I DIDNT REALISE IT WAS SO RECENT THAT MAKES MORE SENSE for me I've been trans since i was 12 and I only recently got more comfy being [insert gender here] and using she/her pronouns. Which doesn't make me a detransitioner or a woman by any means (i cant even "pass" for a girl atp since I have facial hair)

What I have learned from this is that like. You can be whatever you want all of the time. The scaremongering about transness being this huge life changing thing are mostly lies. I was a he / him trans guy now im a she/he non binary person who looks literally more masc than i did before said realisation. It's fine to try stuff out and figure it out.

If you're really having trouble i recommend just cutting transphobia out of your life completely. Like not even arguing with it, just getting rid of it , blocking discourse about it. It's an absolute poison and it SUCKS. This includes calling it out, news stories critical of transphobia, everything. You're not a bad trans person for not engaging with your own oppression for that - sometimes you need a break from the negativity to feel more confident in yourself.

Also oddly enough having a cis boyfriend made me even more sure I wanted to transition. I won't go super into detail, but I basically ended up getting super super jealous of all his Cis Guy Things and I think that's what really cemented it for me. Especially cis guys who are chill with trans ppl can be literally some of the most validating ppl. I'll never forget when i came out, the boys' section of the soccer team I played for started hyping me up all the time, the guys in my friend group used to invite me out when they all went out together. The media and social media especially overstates the amount of transphobia the world has to offer by a long shot. There's a lot of fun and beauty in being a trans guy that gets talked about online but like. At the end of the day you're just a guy. Most people will see that lol.

Anyway ignore me getting all rambly. Good luck Lee o7

this was really sweet and helpful to read, genuinely, so thank you😭 the bit in the middle about not wanting to engage with the oppression at all... REAL and like. this is why i have a hard time explaining to certain family members that i don't enjoy 'debating' things when it feels like i'm only trying to validate my existence. mum would go on about hoping my therapist was 'challenging' me - ie, testing to see whether or not i'm ? actually nby/trans ig ?? and it's like MAN this shit is exhausting and only makes me more insecure about it, versus, yknow, how validating it feels to have people actively support it. like ... no mum i'm not just looking for yes men - i'm looking for people to understand

anyway blah blah, i'm sure i'll stop stressing about it eventually :') thank you again <33

Wonder what it feels like to see an ex get married before you ..yes you know who I'm talking about lol

my worst trait is that every time i think about the fact that my "main ex" is prob going to marry the person he's with now (that he left me for, that he kept a secret from me for months/made me the 'other woman' to) i want to rip my hair out and scream into the sky until the sky screams back LOL. the day it comes to my attention that they're engaged i think i'm gonna need to go do goat yoga by the sea to get well.

and it's such a Thing too bc this person (now partner of like 2.5 years) is very marriage is fake marriage is a construct blah blah blah but when the ex in question was with me all he talked about was how badly he wanted to be married have the house on the hill with a picket fence and three kids. the first time i met the now-partner (they were already sleeping together atp but i was non the wiser and they didn't really know where we actually stood either bc ex was lying to them), like ten minutes prior ex had been showing me photos of a childhood friend that just got married going on and on about how jealous he was.

somehow marriage came up again in the convo with all 3 of us and when now-partner started on "a marriage is fake" spiel ex was like yeah!!! so true!!! speak on it!!! and i was in my head like ?!!?! 10 minutes ago you were about to cry in a shake shack because someone that wasn't you got married! you know damn well you don't think marriage is dumb LMFAO but. it does make me wonder if he's gonna completely sacrifice wanting that for now-partner. bc i truly don't believe in my heart of hearts he was faking the conversations he had with me? we'll see ig

all that to say i like to think austin is in a healthier place than i am!

How I (a non-soc blind) see soc blinds

disclaimer: this is just my opinion, i might be wrong, you might disagree with something i said or how i said it, i am not claiming anything i say is true blah blah

1. everyone can be choosey with who they spend time with, who they befriend, who they spend resources on, who they share themsleves with. and in this regard soc blinds are undeniably the choosiest. being in their orbit makes you feel chosen, simply put. All soc blinds ive known are unusual to me in the sense that i ignore what i did to gain their approvalTM or whatever, like...they just, with varrying amount of time depending on the person (after you pass the sp filter) ended up in my orbit. and i'm like ok weirdos lol

2. they seem to identify what really matters to you, see it under a fresh soc-less lens, and interact with you focused on that. it's like they have a radar for your passions, and are naturally more supportive of that aspect in you than the general masses, even if you and the soc blind arent "close" or anything from your perspective. they see you do your weird thing and theyre like "i stan" in their own way.

3. they are confusing, to non-soc blinds. They have a push-pull feel to them that soc users don't get and might have trouble adjusting to. they are either on, or they are off, and thus might make you feel like you're being engaged with for a moment and then left out the next (for example they are on for a day then just as easily some other sx or sp source can sweep them off and at this point they just won't feel "on" to you). unless you're strongly sx clicked with them, or for sx-blinds, have developped a strong bond with them over time, it just feels unstable and you might be wondering if this is really going anywhere. Might be my 6 speaking tho

they also only want to spend energy in what they really want to spend energy on, and they know what that is, so they prioritize their own interests, and are less eager to spend energy engaging with what YOU chose, in equal, sacrificing soc fashion. While this applies to all sx users, soc blinds having no soc mean they will use no discretion or restraint nor courtesy when leaving the exchange when its no longer interesting to them.

4.this one is for soc doms: theres no amount of tap dancing you can do to try to catch their attention if they haven't found you of interest, so it's pointless to get tied up in knots over them liking you or not. they are making it simple for you, really; just let it go if they arent reponsive because they most likely will never be.

I'll reblog this if i think of more ig

[jackiebrackettt]

yeah okay. this is going to be a long fucking post and i will lose viewer engagement by going with my made up version first so that will be bonus content under the cut ig -_-

when i say viewer engagement i mean literally if you have any thoughts or interest in this plsssss talk to me literally a cry for help blah blah whatever will get you guys to interact with this post -_- i want to chat. we're chatting about this. i want to be excited about Streamer Ranboo's project but i'm weak when it comes to horror so i need to theorise and become invested now. also i've been made aware of third possibility that comes with the blurry guy being a ghost so that's the next reblog but i'm taking a break to see if ppl will comment on this to decide whether i write more

anyway 2) the setting i think it'll be in: (everything quoted is not verbatim and is from memory)

the lostfield incident: okay so my guy (mc) says something about how it's not his fault alsooo he appears to be researching? and he was chatting on the phone with someone. i think these are potentially all in the first chap except for "it's not my fault" which i think happens as a cliffhanger ending for liminal run that takes us immediately into mind mess

liminal run is clearly going to be set in an abandoned mall. sorry this is a bit obvious i think. if it's not true i'll go crawl under a hill. anyway. lostfield incident .. now i'm thinking this is the incident that gets mc into the world/story. he's researching some strange happenings (part of the research has to do with the tapes/or he is using tapes to record his research) and blah blah he stumbles across the blurry guy. (the guy he drew in the desk ambiance that crumb said "oh that's me" and ranboo said "no you don't want to be that guy" or whatevs)

the lostfield incident (first chap) is referring to the inciting incident which is.. bam he finds something weird. liminal space is him properly investigating in which case i'm thinking he accidentally or on purpose kills someone and it's a little bit to do with the blurry guy - who i'm currently convinced is some kinda antagonist

mind mess is the resulting fallout of whatever happened in which case our guy mc is having some kinda breakdown while potentially trying to hide the evidence and maaaybe "defeat" the blurry guy? i'm thinking it'll end in some kinda tragedy though

wait i can edit stuff under the cut and it'll work on reblogs right? anyway if u looked this far and this reblog is the final reblog that ur looking at: consider looking through the notes! there are a couple of additions/separate threads that are also interesting! nvm it doesn't appear to work but i'll keep this here anyway just in case

anyway very-post-apocalyptic world which personally i'm very invested in bc i did all this quick worldbuilding:

the lostfield incident is clearly referring to the incident that started the apocalypse which is what our main character is researching. he thinks there's something else to it that isn't being explored as everyone is quite fine to leave it as an unexplained mystery. and he's hoping if he can figure it out - he can stop it from happening again. bc things are starting to get wacky. the lostfield incident is also - like above - referring to the inciting incident which is where things start to go wacky and is what pushes our mc onto this journey of research

again, similar plot. liminal space is an abandoned mall. something happens in it that drives us to "it's not my fault". but this is more "godlike figure brings about the apocalypse using this guy's curiosity" less "you fucked around and found out and now ur murdering ppl" like above

mind mess: so you have you guys seen gravity falls? anyway no way ranboo manages to make something like that irl so probably a more muted version of that with a mix of the above breakdown guilt freak out

i think this is all i have to say give me your thoughts please

okay i need to Generation Loss by Streamer Ranboo analyse again. we have the rough episode names so i'm going to analyse it from two angles: 1) the very-post-apocalyptic world i made up for views and am attached to 2) the 1990s(?) world i think we're actually in. let me find the titles and i'll get back to this but if anyone seeing this has any thoughts give them to me this is a collaborative attempt to get my interest in gen loss higher than my fear of horror
