#but i'm keeping my opinions about that to myself

[jcollinswrites]

Narmer poll's results are in

What I learned from them:

Those few, very loud people who are condemning Narmer straight away and are calling him on nasty terms both in my inbox and in the comments (which I delete straight away mind you), are only a small minority, which is a relief. On that note, I'd also like to remind these people that if you say or ask things about me or my work (and that includes my characters) that are offensive and untrue, you're gonna get blocked. I don't care how justified you think you are. Respectful criticism is welcome. Harassment is not. I will not let anyone ruin the experience for others (including myself), especially for those who haven't played the game yet. I'm aiming for a safe and healthy place here where people can express their opinions in a respectful manner. If you are aiming for that too, then you are more than welcome here. Now back to more pleasant matters!

The majority of you are not quick to jump to conclusions, which was again nice to see.

Many of you are keeping faith in him despite everything, which was surprising, but I'm very happy those first two chapters were not in vain.

Some of you got Zaia's comments in that meeting and were able to connect some dots 👀 A lot more people than I expected!

I should have included an extra option about finding Narmer hot as hell. No comment 😅

All in all, the results were a lot more positive than what I expected, but maybe I was only pessimistic because of those few people who kept sending quite hateful messages. So thanks everyone for voting! I can't wait to see your reactions to future events as well! ❤️

So... I hope to phrase this very delicately because I don't want to seem like I'm dismissing or minimizing how dangerous and horrible JK Rowling is, and I definitely don't support people continuing to contribute money to her in any way, shape, or form! But... I'm also wondering if I'm missing something here about HP fanfic so, I figured it hopefully couldn't hurt to ask... Is there a particular reason why you're against even HP fanfic? Is it just a personal boundary? Are you thinking about the fact that there are also bad stereotypes within the books themselves that can continue to affect the fanfic? (which yeah I've seen when reading fanfic in the past) It's just that... as much as I hate JK Rowling and every word out of her mouth, the HP series---or at least, the headcanons and relationships and messages people interpret from it---still means a lot to so many people, especially, tragically, queer people. Including myself. So, in my view, people can read and write HP fanfic while absolutely not supporting JK Rowling. But I'd like to hear your opinion in a little more detail, if you're okay with sharing that, in case I am not considering something.

so. the biggest thing for me is that by participating in the hp fandom you are helping to keep that fandom popular. that fandom staying popular leads to more people joining the fandom who have no issue spending money that will go to jk rowling. it leads to people who otherwise might have lost interest, staying in the fandom and spending money that goes to her. and the fandom staying popular is what ultimately leads to things like new tv shows and theme parks and merch which not only put money directly into jk rowlings pocket to fund more of her anti trans agenda, but it also helps continue the popularity of that book series. jk rowling doesn’t care if she’s hated so long as she continues to make money and have power.

i used to be a huge harry potter fan and it sucked having to give up a fandom that i grew up with and loved. but trans people’s lives are more important than a fictional book series always. period. she is actively working to spread ideals and pass legislation that will cause trans people to die. participating in that fandom, and in turn helping to keep it alive and making her money, signals to me (and her) that you’re okay with that (whether you personally agree with her or contribute money to her or not).

and if this series saved someones life i think it’s fine to acknowledge that and be happy for that. but i think it’s also important to move on from it now because is IS hurting other people.

in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)

I'm your average tumblrina, I see two female characters that tried to kill each other or sword fight once and they invade my mind 24/7. I don't make the rules.

opinions about the storytelling of arcane season 2 aside you guys have got to stop saying it's a victim of the too short tv seasons phenomenon. do the math its seasons are about as long as any other cartoon you guys just aren't used to getting that handed to you in 9 40-minute episodes instead of 18 20-minute episodes. if you think it needed more episodes then it needed another season

A friendly reminder that since it is election day her in the US, if you feel the need to post about politics, please tag your politics.

Politics is a major issue everywhere, and let's be honest, it can be a huge headache, and not everybody is comfortable with wanting to get politically involved with anything.

That is all.

I feel like the HTP/winterbones fandom is very divided on this but I'm curious to know how divided and where everyone stands. Please explain your thoughts and reasoning in the replies or tags if you don't mind! Why do you love it or hate it? If there are specific situations where you're fine with it but not others, what are they?

[atalienart]

but they are published fics…? and there’s nothing wrong with that like congratulations to them for being noticed and picked up by a publisher maybe over an ‘eww nooo’ reaction? also btw a lot of your thought posts when coming from someone writing a book feel like you’re telling people how you want them to react to your work rather than letting it happen naturally when they read it, like sorry people will read your book and make connections and see similarities to x,y,z other published works but that’s a good thing anyway! people will be engaging positively in your work, analysing and taking it all in! engagement is good even if it’s not the kind you want

I assume you're answering to this [x]? First of all, I don't expect people to do anything. Second, technically publishing fanfiction is illegal, so whenever someone publishes something outside of fanfic spaces I treat is as something original. And of course, big congratulations to the author, no questioning that. Now, I didn't say "eww nooo", I said I couldn't enjoy reading the story seeing actors' faces in characters. Are you telling me I should react differently to that book? Of course people will make connections and find similarities, and that means not everyone will have warm feelings towards the story. I like to use my imagination while reading fiction, that's it. To you the knowledge that the story has its source in reylo fandom is a bonus, something that makes the book more fun. For me it means I'll see Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley's mannerisms that I don't particularly enjoy. It's nothing personal, I don't even have an opinion on reylo fandom (it's like any other fandom). I just have preferences and voice them on my blog. My thought posts are just that - thought posts, not a guide to how people should react to anything. And the fact that I myself write doesn't mean I should just shut up whenever I don't like something. I'm a human being with likes and dislikes and it's fun to talk about those with others.

I fucking hate being traumatized because why am I bawling the hardest I've bawled in god-knows-how-long because someone I didn't even like that much berated Me. gasping wailing trembling and snotting over this for several minutes.

[stop-breaking-my-heart-dragonage]

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.

For the ask game! 3 and 21 please ✨

for the choose violence ask game!

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

i won't screenshot bc i'm not thinking of one post specifically but a couple i've seen- the idea that Tim should be from Crime Alley, not Bristol. which firstly: i need people to understand Tim isn't Bristol rich. Tim is a millionaire and not nearly as high a tax bracket as Bruce is. his family goes *bankrupt* at one point and it's his stepmother supporting them with a job as a physical therapist. like he's not as rich as some ppl thing he is. but that said, he *is* still upper middle class and it's very important to who he is and how his history as Robin is shaped. it shapes how he interactions with other characters. you just... can't make him from Crime Alley? like why would you want to when we *have* a Crime Alley Robin. it changes so much about Tim that he's no longer then same character. and the idea he could just lie about being from an affluent family with a seven-figure company is? i do not get it. like the entire mess of "Tim pretends to be a Drake" is a headcanon that is so bad to me and just tries too hard to make Tim' backstory more interesting to make him the main character. the entire point of Tim Drake was for him to be a *normal kid* becoming Robin. and all that is ruined when you add all these weird things to him. i'm begging fanon to just enjoy Janet and Jack Drake. please <3

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

oooh, i already talked about Joker: Last Laugh and Deat In The Family. is it... bad if i say the entirety of Wayne Family Adventures?

i think i'll be nice and narrow it down actually: the Wayne Family Adventures episode where Jason has a panic attack because a noise reminds him of the crowbar and he runs and hides until Bruce finds him. that episode... oh it haunts me. i think it really fucked up how most of this fandom understands Jason's relationship to his trauma. and the fact that it's *so* popular makes it even worse bc it can often be the only "canon" content some fans have consumed about him. it makes Jason feel incompetent and it misunderstands what his trauma around his death actually is. it paints him as afraid of the Joker and not full of such a violent rage. i just. oh i can usually understand the merits to WFA even if it's not For Me, but that episode i just... don't get it. i don't get how someone can honestly enjoy Jason's character and still think that episode does him favors and is in character. i'm baffled and angry and rolling my eyes all at once.

you know what, first they said that likes mean nothing, now they start saying that reblogging without personal tags is basically worth nothing either, well guess what fuck you, if i like a post i will continue to hit the like button, and if i don't feel up to saying anything in the tags because it's one of those days when words don't come easy then i will reblog the post without tags, i'd rather half-ass things than not do them at all and you can all fuck off with your high standards.
