PROPAGANDA

R. M. Renfield

Mentally ill queer man writes mentally ill queer character. 200 years later, Dracula Daily happens and everyone in their mother immediately starts poking fun at him, demonizing him, or treating him like a naive child when none of these things are true. I could write a darn essay about Renfield and his role in the story. His status as a servant of Dracula is kept hidden from our heroes despite how obvious it is to the modern reader, and it turns into a striking example of dramatic irony. But at the same time, he's not a simpering servant; he's psychotic and Dracula feeds his delusion for his own gain. His death isn't a sacrifice, it's a tragic end to a story about the effects of isolation on the mind and the suffering that can come about from people refusing to listen to those who aren't like them. Pretty damned amusing, then, that absolutely no one seems to listen to the words that come out of his mouth.

Izzy Hands

people hate this guy. people HATE this guy. and for what? "hes abusive" you are out of your MIND if you actually think that. let middle aged men be messy jilted lovers, goddamn!!!!

Oh my gods, fandom has lost their minds with this one. People act like Izzy is the devil himself and actually it's his fault that the main love interest of the show has ever done anything wrong ever. Every bad thing in the show? Actually Izzy's fault. I've seen people literally, actually say he deserved his abuse and that it's his fault his abuser hurt him and that he liked it. I have seen people unironically say that his abuser should have killed him. I've seen people say that Edward Teach (y'know, literal Blackbeard who explicitly says in canon, with his mouth, "I love a good maim" would never have done anything violent ever if it wasn't for Izzy's manipulation. This is, of course, ignoring that Ed's first acts if violence were before he ever even met Izzy

So Ed and Izzy have a toxic relationship and do bad stuff to each other. And Izzy fans will minimize the shit Izzy did while bringing up what he suffered. And Ed fans will maximize the shit Izzy did and forgot the rest. Honestly I'm might be bringing a lot of anger on the blog for this, sorry.

[mfshipbracket]

welcome to ghost mod's thought experiment, the m/f ship bracket bonus round where every single m/f ship from the original round is pit against reylo of the 97/3 #shreksweep infamy.

why, you ask? mostly cuz of this.

they're going from lowest to highest per the original rankings, starting off with our newcomers adam/eve. 9 polls per day will roll out on queue throughout the est evening from may 12th-18th! after polls are closed one week later, i will post the final rankings of who swept the hardest (or failed to sweep...)

all polls can be found under the #bonus round tag, and this masterpost also contains links to each specific poll. there is also a spreadsheet with current bonus round standings and stats from the original bracket if you like numbers. :)

PROPAGANDA

Gamzee Makara

ok he did kill some people but he deserved better also he is a good dad for a teenaged alien in a murder society

yes he did bad things no he's not irredeemable the author just hated him everyone acts like he's either this poor woobie who's never done anything wrong and every bad thing he ever does is the result of other people (wrong) or that he's the literal actual devil and deserves to die the most painful death allowed (also wrong). he's just a 13 year old kid. who gets possessed by the literal actual devil. but i digress.

Pale King

a (now dead) god who built a kingdom with free will, took some followers from another god who inflicted a plague upon his people. he basically sacrificed like. a billion of his children in order to try and save his kingdom and the ones that lived suffer considerably but ultimately he is a) a god outside of our morals and b) did it in trying to save his people that he gave sentience to

BEST GIRL CREWMATE

FINALS

Propaganda under the cut

Bonney's propaganda contains mild spoilers

Mr. 2 Bon Clay (Baroque Works)

— They've said they're both male and female and since they're their own female partner they count. Anyway they befriend and save the Straw Hats on multiple occasions despite being enemies and become queen of the queer haven in the middle of hell what's not to live

Wicca (Tonttata Pirates)

— She's cute, she's strong, and lived the Straw Hat's necessary nightmare of trying to get Zoro from point A to point B without getting lost

Jewelry Bonney (Bonney Pirates)

— Only woman in the Supernovas, one of the very few women captains we've seen, pink hair, rude, uncontrollable

— Manga spoilers but she's been through a lot!! The government forced her to become a pirate and she's doing her best!!!

— Girl with best appetite, beautiful and strong with trauma 👍

— I haven't actually caught up to where we really get to see her but she seemed neat in Sabaody and is named after one of my favorite irl pirates

[officialweezerelections]

BRACKET C

Oriental Bay Owl (Phodilus badius)

“They look like little villains.”

VERSUS

Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga)

They swim around with only their heads out of the water, and spend most of their daylight hours just drying off their wings because for some fucking reason (it makes them better divers) their feathers aren’t waterproof. They use their long beaks like spears while fishing and they don’t have nostrils.
